Chapter 539: The King of Land Wars
Chapter 539 The King of Land War
Although everyone knows that the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were produced by the contractor with the lowest bid, the Sherman tanks could barely withstand the opponent's artillery fire at a distance of 1,500 meters. Now the Allied tank armor is obviously thicker. Is the front armor of the 110 mm made of tofu?
Have the weapons purchased with taxpayers' money to protect soldiers' lives turned into kickbacks and flowed into the pockets of the Pentagon generals?
The American soldiers are now extremely angry and frustrated. Are these tanks really shoddy products? But the opponent's tanks have begun to maneuver after firing, and they have entered the tank strangulation battle between both sides. In any case, they can no longer temporarily end the battle.
It is impossible to say to the other party: Hello, there seems to be something wrong with my tofu tank. I will change to the original tofu tank and fight you again.
"All units should pay attention to the distance of 1,500 meters to penetrate the opponent's front armor. The opponent cannot penetrate our front armor for the time being. The combat team once cooperated with mobile operations and paid attention to mutual support and cover. The opponent's artillery was obviously not the previous short-barrel small cannon."
After explaining the precautions, Li Weigang was the first to command his team to rush out of the formation, and the power system that was better than the bear, easily accelerated the Tiger tank quickly to an off-road speed of 25 kilometers in a few seconds.
Although I doubted the hardness and thickness of the armor in my heart, the American tank soldiers still did not give up. After all, although the artillery bombardment just now did not penetrate the opponent's tank, the operation manual has clearly written that only when it reaches a distance of 1,200 meters, there is a chance to penetrate the frontal armor of the Chinese bear tank, and it is not a must-wrap every time.
Unlike the previous short-barrel small cannons, the shells just now did make the opponent shake so few times, which shows that the kinetic energy of the shells is still good. The previous short-barrel small cannons didn't even shake it at this distance.
With different moods, the two sides drove the tank into a distance of one thousand meters. This distance made the hearts of the American soldiers beating faster and finally had the opportunity to avenge their previous shame.
"At eleven o'clock, the distance between Chinese tanks, 700, ammunition and armor-piercing bullets, fire!!"
The American tank captain roared, and the 105 mm caliber armor-piercing projectile broke out and hit the Chinese tank opposite. It was just as the saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The incident that drove all American tank soldiers crazy happened. The Chinese tank that was hit turned its turret again after a swaying and silence.
The guys from the Ministry of Interior and Logistics are all damn grave eggs!
The production contracting wounds of your Allied tanks are just cutting corners and using tofu scraps as armor, but is this shell also made of tofu scraps? The distance you wrote in the operating manual is 90% sure to penetrate the front armor of the Chinese bear tank. Why has it now entered a distance of 700 meters and cannot penetrate the opponent's armor?
But before the American tank soldiers could vent their anger, the Chinese tanks that were attacked just now stabilized their bodies after withstanding the huge impact of kinetic energy.
"The distance is six hundred and fifty, at one o'clock, give it a cordial return visit!"
In Li Weigang's slightly joking voice, the 125 mm tail stable shell-out armor-piercing bullet obtained a huge initial velocity under the huge chamber pressure. After the bullet was out of the chamber, the concave guard ring on the front of the shell-out armor-piercing bullet formed an outward negative pressure suction force under the flow of air, and the guard ring flipped to the left and right sides and left and fell off.
The high-speed projectile obtained under the tight air-tight seal of the smoothbore gun and the projectile support quickly flew over a distance of more than 600 meters. The 30 mm thick elastic core and the 600 mm long elastic core mean that it has a 20-to-one core length ratio.
Having a projectile with a length-wide and length ratio of the core in the air means that it can have higher initial speed and stability during flight. Influenced by the principles of physical mechanics, the core in the air has a tail wing at the tail, which can maintain stability during flight and shooting accuracy.
The shape similar to the long arrow can not only reduce flight resistance and maintain speed, but also have a small action surface and a large impact force when it hits the armor, which can effectively increase the depth of armor piercing.
The slender core invades the target armor at high speed. When the slender core is about to pass through the metal armor, due to its high speed and high density hard body, metal impacts produce a high temperature of several thousand degrees during the breakdown of the United Star armor, and the parts in contact with the core and the armor are in a molten state.
After the slender core penetrated the armor, it not only entered the inside of the tank itself, but also splashed in high-temperature debris and liquid metal flows. In an instant, there were not only a large number of high-temperature debris splashing everywhere in the entire tank turret, but also several liquid metal flows of different sizes.
The high-temperature debris with thousands of degrees and high-temperature liquid metal splashed onto the inside crew of the tank, and his kinetic energy was even more powerful than ordinary bullets. The commander working in the turret immediately turned into a sieve and died on the spot. The loader escaped due to his relatives, but the ammunition in the car could not escape the remaining metal flow.
Nowadays, except for the Allied tanks, the current opponent Tiger I, there is no tank that uses ammunition to isolate and separate. The huge turret of the Allied tank is installed at the tail of the turret and next to the gunner, with more than 30 shell frames splashed by high-temperature metal debris and metal flow.
The violent high temperature and kinetic energy easily destroyed the ammunition's launch protection shell, and the high temperature instantly ignited the launching medicine. Afterwards, this United Star tank was like a coffee table filled with many cups of ingredient coffee tables.
After firing the cannon, the tiger tank's gun barrel was blowing out a smaller smoke. This was the tank artillery using compressed air to clean the barrel of the gun. This action means that the next shell will be loaded soon.
"Battery Commander, the regiment commander asked you if you need to send helicopters to reinforce?" The commander who became a communicator in the car received a question about whether Mo Xiong would reinforce the Tank Battalion in the rear and turned to ask Li Weigang.
"No! Now air supremacy is very delicate and balanced. If this balance is broken, the helicopter cannot beat the opponent's fighter plane!" Li Weigang rejected Mo Xiong's proposal of reinforcements.
Although he did not have his own land aerial helicopter when he first received the equipment, Gan Daolo was "borrowing" a team from Wang Junfeng with his alcohol tolerance and his spirit of begging for nothing. He called it a joint joint attack on the air and ground.
However, according to several old comrades who know Gan Daoguang very well, as long as the assault regiment establishes a small army aviation force and launches, the helicopters of this small team will be borrowed by tigers and pigs and have no need to pay them back.
"Tell the regiment commander that the opponent's new tank has good protection power, and the Brutal Bear may not be able to penetrate the opponent within a distance of kilometers. Please pay attention to whether the same tank appears on both wings."
"clear!"
"All units should note that the tungsten-core shell-piercing armor-piercing ammunition is not much in terms of the internal assembly ratio of the tank. Pay attention to the consumption of ammunition and hunt the opponent's tank as soon as possible. If you have the chance, other types of ammunition are allowed to test their power."
After confirming that the rear was ready, Li Weigang focused all his attention on the battle in front of him. He was the first to hunt the opponent's new tank, and he had no credit for this.
The American Allied tanks who came to take revenge never expected that they would have wanted to avenge all the new and old hatreds for the first time on the battlefield, but they never expected that the ending would become like this. In the battles all over the field, their new tanks were completely ruined in front of the new Chinese tanks.
Shortly after the battle, the Americans also discovered the difference between their opponents. These opponents were not the former bear, but a new type of tank. The convex butt at the back of the tank turret, which was completely different from other tanks, was the best proof.
Even though I don’t know what this bulge butt design is used for, I already know that this is definitely not the kind of tank that bullied me too much before.
However, it doesn't matter whether it's all. The key is that the other party is now consuming himself to death. Whenever the opponent's huge gun barrel is aimed at an unlucky person, which unlucky person will turn into a pile of burning scrap iron. This battle is really impossible to fight. His new tank was originally intended to abuse people, but in the end he became a character who was abused by others.
Seeing the tanks in front being blown up by one after another, Patton, who came to the front line again to watch the Allied tanks appear on the war stage for the first time, felt bitter in his heart.
When Patton saw the "Alliance" for the first time, he fell in love with this tank with joy. Its huge gun barrels, thick armor, and powerful shape. Patton believed that this was the best tank in the world.
In addition to its engine that must always roar violently, it is not a disadvantage for wealthy Americans to have a short overhaul time and high fuel consumption.
Today's opening show, Patton had high hopes. He was also unable to contain his anger in his heart by the provocation of the Chinese and his repeated defeats. He had never been so frustrated since joining the army.
Whenever he heard the oversized tweeter on the opposite Chinese tank, the Sherman Tofu Tank was killed, Patton, who had absolutely arrogant and self-esteem, wanted to use his 45-point pistol to reach out to the mouth of the Chinese soldiers and pull the trigger and bombard these stinky mouths who know how to speak English!
When Allied tanks appeared in front of him, Patton was ecstatic. If it had not been for the process of the grand strategy and the number of Allied tanks in his hand was too small, he would have ordered a ground attack in advance to allow Allied tanks to sweep across the Chinese tanks and avenge them.
But today's drama is really a show that makes the Americans sad, and it is also a sequel to past tragedies, which is even more sad. The Chinese tanks used their previous tactics to easily kill the Allied tanks jointly built by the three countries, which were highly anticipated, and the Allied tanks were unable to play any positive role in defeating the other side.
The only hope and highlight was that a Chinese tank was defeated by three Allied tanks. When two Allied tanks used their bodies to block and attract the fire of the other side to rescue the last tank and reload and turn back to the other side's turret to open fire, the scene of these heroic American soldiers who performed their lives dying with their eyes closed.
A Chinese tank that was hit by the bulge behind the tank turret exploded violently. Everyone understood that such an explosion was not caused by their own shells, but rather the ammunition generated by the other party's ammunition.
The explosion made the Americans secretly happy. Although they didn't know why the Chinese stored ammunition in the soft butt behind the turret, they increased their understanding of the other party's weakness.
But when the smoke and dust of the explosion settled, in full view of the public, the tank was attacked again after being silent for a few seconds, turning the broken turret at the 125 mm caliber cannon barrel at the striking attacker.
After one shot, the sneak attacker went to God with endless questions to ask for answers, why did the ammunition warehouse with the bulge behind the tank turret not destroy the internal mechanism of the opponent's tank?
Others even saw that after the attacker was detonated, the power mechanism was lost from the turret, and a broken tank at the tail of the turret actually lifted the top cover and drilled out four Chinese tank soldiers holding submachine guns and carrying anti-tank grenades on their waists.
Seeing them throwing grenades at Allied tanks, that is to say, the shells that just exploded have very little influence on them.
In a shocked and regretful mood, Patton closed his eyes and put down his telescope sadly. He couldn't bear to see the last Allied tank being caught up by the new Chinese tanks and smashed the turret. The armored troops he was proud of were once again defeated in front of the Chinese tank armored troops.
It has been said in the United States that the emergence of Allied tanks is the current king of tanks. Even in the face of the Chinese bear series, the German tiger-ii type, and even the heavy tanks of the Soviets, the Allied tanks developed by Britain, the United States and France in cooperation are not inferior.
But after today's battle, Patton knew that the title of King of Tanks would fall on the head of this new Chinese tank in front of him for a long time!
The new generation of Tiger-style main battle tanks in the Chinese Army, the king of tanks! They are the well-deserved king of land warfare! No object crawling on the ground can defeat it!
As Patton thought, for a long, long decade after the war, the Chinese army's Tiger-style main battle tanks had been occupying the throne of the king of landing war for a long time.
Originally, the Tiger main battle tank used a large number of advanced military technology. Even when Western countries finally caught up with the technical indicators of the Chinese Tiger tanks that met most of the performance requirements, China's newer tanks once again pulled the other side thousands of miles away.
Even in the next few years of World War II, no tank in the world can meet the technical indicators and performance requirements of the Tiger tank, with perfect power and defense ratio, strong maneuvering ability, and powerful artillery. Everything is so perfect. The Tiger tank is well deserved to be the most eye-catching tank king in this time and space.
And what makes the world crazy is that because many of the parts in the Tiger can be used interchangeably with his predecessor, the Rain Bear series and even the older Gray Wolf series, the Tiger must be fascinated by it, both in production and maintenance.
One reason for Patton's pain was that the US military was no match for the tiger, and what made him even more distressed was that the more than 500 Allied tanks invested in Port Augusta were the first few products on hand in the United States.
Patton still clearly remembered that when Eisenhower handed over this batch of Allied tanks to him, he said to him earnestly: Although this tank has good performance, it is really difficult to produce. The processing of many parts is difficult to understand technical performance indicators and some production processes are not mastered. The production speed is really not as fast as that of Sherman tanks.
If this batch of US tanks is damaged, it will not be able to replenish more new tanks in a short period of time.
Although Patton hated the new Chinese tanks on the other side that destroyed their beloved thing, he also had some curious guesses: the output of the other party's new type should not be high. If the output is high and the capacity is large, it should have been in a large number of units.
Patton was wrong about this. As the battle later continued to extend and advance to every corner of the world, this new type of tank appeared where the Hualian Canglong Banner pointed. The Tiger main battle tank was the opposite of his predecessor, the production capacity was lower than that of his predecessor, the Brutal Bear type.
Over the years, a large number of factories have gradually mastered various production processes with high standards and high technical requirements. Having many manufacturers can produce various parts means that the assembly plant can have enough parts to start more assembly production lines.
Moreover, the increase in production means a reduction in production costs. Now in China, the main battle tank of the Brutal Bear has stopped production and switched to producing this more advanced Siberian tiger.
However, by the end of the war, the production capacity of the Tiger main battle tank did not exceed 90% of the production capacity of China's production workshops. There are many reasons for this. One is that although the original bear style was stopped, the various troops still had a lot of stock. After all, this guy is solid enough.
Adversaries that can pose a threat to the bear, such as the Tiger, Allied tanks, and the Soviet Union's heavy tanks are not large in number, and the number of them is destroyed by the opponent is small, so the demand for the replacement of each unit is not large.
Another reason is that until now, there are not many large-scale tank battles, and many second-line troops are basically sufficient to use the Brutal Bear-style main battle tanks eliminated by the main forces on the front line.
The last reason is the guarantee and consumption of fuel. There is no need to use 200 tanks to fight a battle that can be completed with 100 tanks. If the number of large tanks in the army is too terrifying, it will increase the cost of war consumption. For China today, there are too many national economic construction in China that requires funds to get rid of poverty and become rich.
China now has high technological strength, and in terms of overall economic strength and material reserve level, it still cannot compete with the old British and American powers. Especially in the United States, this terrifying industrial entity that produces almost half of the world's materials, Hualian wants to spend money, and there is not so much property to squander.
