Chapter 1700 The natural enemy of the tank
Delvede didn't know, but fortunately he was facing the Japanese, not the Chinese, so he should be glad that the reason was very simple. If the armored forces he led to destroy the country were in a strategic decisive battle between China and the United States, 8,000 tanks would no longer exist. China has countless ways to kill these tanks, and the easiest way is to use aircraft to deal with tanks. The best choice is to use aircraft to deal with tanks. It is not only convenient and fast, but also will not have large-scale casualties.
China has the largest aircraft group in the world, but the total number of air force personnel has exceeded the total population of some countries, and even the total number of army troops of some powerful countries is not as large as China. The air force is a powerful offensive force and has great advantages over many traditional armies.
If the opponent is China, it is impossible to find that it is impossible to hide ordinary reconnaissance aircraft at the critical moment. However, for China's omnipresent special forces and advanced reconnaissance aircraft, the night is no different from the daytime. Not to mention the radar early warning aircraft transformed by strategic bombers, those aircraft are somewhat useless in dealing with them. Just say that some reconnaissance aircraft specially equipped with infrared telescopes, infrared detectors, and even thermal trackers can also make them unable to hide, and even the night is better than the daytime.
Thermal energy tracker is a very simple thing. Heat can be judged through infrared spectroscopy and thermal energy spectrum, and it is better to use it at night. After all, the heat source at night is limited, especially in the wild. Except for a few wild animals, the remaining temperatures are quite low. Using the heat tracker, the difference in temperature is judged. The tank engine is such an obvious target, and in the pictures of infrared imaging and thermal imaging, it is almost as eye-catching as a lighthouse. As long as the tank target is determined, it will be really not much different from the doomsday.
Tanks are the most powerful weapon in land warfare. The best weapon to deal with tanks is always an aircraft. This is the same in both this era and later generations. The tank killers and armed helicopters in later generations are also part of the aircraft launching, but it is a more stable air weapon platform than fighter jets.
Such a huge target was discovered by reconnaissance aircraft. They were simply targets of bombing. They could be completely eliminated by only dispatching hundreds of strategic bombers, carrying enough aviation bombs and armor-piercing bombs. This is the final result of countless exercises in China. In theory, more tanks can be killed at one time, as long as there are enough strategic bombers.
China has much more armored forces than the United States, and it cannot deal with aircraft. In a sense, it is even more afraid of aircraft. China's main battle tank has a protection capability of more than 150 mm, which can be immune to Chinese artillery below 100 mm. At attacks 5 kilometers away, of course, except for armor-piercing bombs specifically used for armor-piercing, it is also extremely fast. On the road, it exceeds 75 kilometers, and even in the wild, it exceeds 50 kilometers. Its survivability is far larger than that of American tanks. In addition to being equipped with 100 mm smoothbore cannon, it is also equipped with two high-level dual-purpose machine guns, which have certain defensive power against infantry and air.
Such tanks are vulnerable when facing strategic bombers. Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns can prevent attacks from some light bombers and attackers, mainly to prevent aircraft about 3,000 meters. As for strategic aircraft, it is still unsolvable for more than 12,000 meters. Ordinary machine guns and even anti-aircraft guns are difficult to attack aircraft more than 10,000 meters. Only when air defense missiles appear can they be able to reach such a high aircraft. Other ground weapons do not have much protection effect on strategic bombers.
Even in later generations, air defense missiles were only individual missiles like Hong Arrow that could be easily moved. However, Hong Arrow's range was not high. It still required a relatively large missile to truly face aircraft over 10,000 meters. Whether it was on board or base, it was difficult to move. For aircraft, the best weapon was always an aircraft. When the aircraft was suppressed and lost air supremacy, it could only be passively beaten.
The domestic armored divisions are touched. Unless they move in the country, they must have enough power to escort once they enter the war zone. Otherwise, they will hardly be dispatched because it is too dangerous. The first thing the armored troops do when entering the camp is not to build a camp, but to open a temporary airport. Even if it is just a 500-meter runway, the simplest airport will bring them peace of mind, because they can accommodate 20-30 fighter jets.
Twenty or thirty fighter jets are not enough to escort a tank army, but they can escort over the armored division and be located in the air to facilitate discovery of enemies. Even when they are attacked by the opponent's planes, they can fight as soon as possible, buy time for the armored division and wait for the advantageous aircraft group in the rear to come.
This is just a routine of exercises and also the operating standards of the armored division operations. However, for the time being, China is the most in-depth research on aircraft, and has embarked on a completely different path in it, unlike other countries. China has already surpassed other countries in the world in the field of new technology.
Delvede did not realize that he escaped a disaster. After sorting it out, the losses this time were almost very minor. Most of the unconscious soldiers woke up one after another within half an hour. In the end, only more than 700 people had serious consequences. This was a great blessing. After this attack, Delvede also gained some knowledge. He had estimated that tanks had not been prepared for such a single-soldier attack. Even if it was not a suicide attack, a simple cluster bomb and explosive pack could threaten their tanks. They could not be careless just because of machine gun shooting around. The tanks had to follow the infantry to be able to protect them.
Just as I heard the news, the US military took the risk and sent four divisions to set off. When the armored troops merged with the US troops of the four divisions, the entire armored division began to stabilize. With enough infantry guards around the tank, not only did the protection ability increase greatly, but at least, when encountering attacks from the stand-up team, there was no need to take the tank directly. The worst thing was that one person would fight off a stand-up team without being passively beaten and besieged by hundreds of people wearing bomb vests.
Delvede stabilized and slowly rushed to the US military camp during the day, delaying more than two hours at night. In addition, in order to ensure safety, he would arrive at the US military camp at about 11 o'clock noon. At this moment, the flies that had been hovering in the air for more than ten minutes seemed to have left, which made Delvede feel relieved. The sneak attack that was not discovered was one thing, but he could not place all hope on the sneak attack. When he came, he also made several plans, including the discovered strong attack state. Although he had few tanks on hand, only 8,000 vehicles, he could attack the key areas and core areas in the case of strong attacks.
The reason why the reconnaissance plane above left was to reconnaise all the things that were supposed to be reconnaissed, of course, it had to leave. The aircraft was extremely efficient. It took only ten minutes to fly from Juno to the top of the armored troops and circled for more than ten minutes. When it came back, the quick-imaging camera had washed out all the photos and then gathered them into materials.
The messages sent back by the special forces and the pictures taken by the reconnaissance aircraft have been clearly confirmed that the US military sent a large tank unit, and the tank is exactly the kind of tank that was once destroyed by the German army in Bordeaux. Obviously, the United States has not made any more changes in appearance and interior.
The United States has thought of making changes, but there is no way to change it. When it was pieced together the tanks, it had already taken out all the highest technical standards of Britain and the United States. The engines it used were imported from China and could not be changed, and even the export of various powers could not be adjusted. In this case, all aspects were nailed to death. They could not play much. Even if there were adjustments, they were only extremely subtle adjustments in the position of the machine gun, the thickness of the armor, etc., which were difficult to affect the overall appearance.
Although Zhang Tianyou had never seen European tanks, there were detailed information on these tanks in China. Because he knew that the US military sent armored troops, this matter had reached the early stage of the war that might affect the entire Alaska. Zhang Tianyou informed Baotou in advance after knowing this premise.
Now, with more detailed information, the text messages are transmitted back via radio as soon as possible, and all photos and files are quickly sent back to Baotou through the plane.
The war situation in the whole world is stable, and the war situation in the Americas has become more important. In a sense, the war situation in the Americas is related to China's strategic security and costs a huge price to be sent to the American continent. Although it seems that it is just a staff team and several reconnaissance aircraft brigades, in fact, there are countless radio waves every day, and they report the situation of Alaska and Juno. It has always been smooth, but there are problems at the last moment, and it is a big problem. If one is not handled well, it will even affect the overall situation in Alaska.
Now, not only Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief, was alarmed, but even Cai E and the principal of the Northwest Military Academy were invited. At the same time, the newly established commander of the Chinese Armored Forces Command Yan Xishan. He performed well in the Battle of Siberia and was eventually transferred to this position. Although China's armored forces have not yet entered the world, they have become strategic forces like the Air Force. Only by looking at the armored forces of more than 120,000 of them are heavy main combat vehicles, which can be seen. As long as they are released, they will be as fierce as tigers. (~^~)
