Chapter 141: The Iron Soldier (7)

Since the gunners of the tank can only shoot if they see the target directly, it is impossible for them to fire when the view is blocked by a building.

Yan Mingcheng is a little difficult now, whether it is too much or not, this is a problem.

Although he also knew that all of their equipment was new equipment developed by Zhao Zhongyao, and that the vehicles all used advanced atomic engines, this could not guarantee that the vehicles would be able to climb out again after entering! If Yao Hongjun's tank was also allowed to suddenly break down after entering, wouldn't it be troublesome!

It was at this moment that he saw Zhao Zhongyao coming back.

So he hurried over and called Zhao Zhongyao over.

"Zhongyao, do you think this tank can crawl through this deep ditch!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao, and wanted to hear him say that he would definitely be able to climb over.

After Zhao Zhongyao listened, he didn't answer first, he came to the deep ditch and looked inside. Then he confidently said to Yan Mingcheng: "Don't worry! The atomic engine is powerful, and there is no problem in climbing this slope." ”

Although Zhao Zhongyao saw that the deep ditch in front of him was more than one meter deep, and the two sides were still more than half a meter high, if ordinary vehicles couldn't pass through it at all, even ordinary tanks had to be put in.

But Zhao Zhongyao knew that the atomic engine he designed was powerful and should allow the tank to climb this half-meter-high ridge.

Besides, Zhao Zhongyao also wants to take this opportunity to test the power of the new equipment! Isn't it just the right time to record the ability of the new equipment to climb over ditches!

"Really, then I'll let the driver drive over, if I can't climb over, then our tank target may fail!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao, hoping that he could clearly tell him if he could climb over.

If you can't climb over, I'll push you from behind. Zhao Zhongyao also joked with Yan Mingcheng.

"Damn, this is what you said, if I can't climb this time, you will be responsible for the failure of this target shooting. Yan Mingcheng also joked with Zhao Zhongyao.

"Okay, okay, I'm responsible!" Zhao Zhongyao said with a smile again.

"Okay, drive over. Yan Mingcheng gave the order to the driver.

Besides, now the leaders on the viewing platform are also watching Yan Mingcheng's movements through telescopes! When they saw that Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Zhongyao seemed to be arguing about something, pointing in front of a deep ditch, they also understood why.

"Haha, the new equipment is also going to encounter old problems! Chief of Staff Zhao, you said that Yan Mingcheng is his tank, do you dare to cross this deep ditch!" a chief of staff next to him asked Chief of Staff Zhao beside him.

"You should have dared to use a telescope to look at the situation at the exercise site," said Chief of Staff Zhao after looking at the situation at the exercise site with a telescope.

"Yes, this atomic engine burns hydrogen, which is much more powerful than ordinary engines, and this deep ditch can't stop it at all. ”

Director Liu just listened to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, and he also has a general understanding of atomic engines.

"Oh, yes, let's see the power of this new equipment!" said the chief, holding up his binoculars again.

At this time, I saw the Diba H-818 tank developed by Zhao Zhongyao, roared twice, and then slowly climbed down from the side of the deep ditch.

This is a deep ditch about five meters wide and two meters deep, and the slope on both sides is very steep, all of which are above fifty or sixty degrees, especially near the road surface, there is a ridge half a meter high.

For a tank made of steel armor, it was a great test. Because the tank itself alone weighs more than thirty tons. To let these more than 30-ton big guys climb out of this deep ditch, it is indeed a little 'difficult' for it.

But there is no need for the word 'difficult' in war. When it comes to actual combat, there are many such ditches and bumps. If the tank does not have a strong ability to climb over ditches, it will not be able to adapt to the needs of war.

The reason why heavyweight weapons and equipment such as tanks appeared in the war was precisely because the previous ordinary tire vehicles exposed many shortcomings in the war.

Because the terrain of the battlefield is very complicated, it is impossible to fight on the highway! Because of the complexity of the terrain, it poses a great test to the vehicles.

The vehicle is driven with four wheels, which are round and only suitable for movement on flat surfaces. For the terrain of ditches and bumps, it is a little unbearable.

Although the car is running fast on the road, if there is a small dirt pit on the road, if you let one of the wheels of the car sink in, you may put the car in it.

In this way, when the car arrives on a battlefield with complex terrain, it is obviously very unsuitable. When encountering some ditches and bumps, you can only stop and repair the road.

This is obviously a real 'fatal' war in which 'time is of the essence'.

Relatively speaking, in ancient times, although there were no vehicles, war horses could easily cross some ditches and bumps with four hooves. Compared with automobiles, war horses can not only gallop on flat roads, but also jump over sand fields with complex terrain.

It is precisely because of this drawback of automobiles that, in order to meet the needs of war, a special type of vehicles -- 'tracked armored vehicles' -- was born.

In a broad sense, a tank is also considered an armored vehicle, because it is also a vehicle made of armor.

These vehicles do not use four wheels, but use a flat track to wrap some small wheels, so that the small wheels move in the track, this time, the problem of the car four wheels driving in the war is solved.

Tracked vehicles, which can not only climb over some ditches, but also drive in some swampy mud, which are far beyond the comparison of ordinary vehicles.

It is precisely because of this special performance of the tracked armored vehicle that it has become the most indispensable conventional weapon in modern warfare. In any country in the world, in any army, there will be some such steel guys, and they can best show the mighty and brave image of a force.

At present, the latest tracked armored vehicle developed by Zhao Zhongyao, the Diba H-818 tank, is about to face a test of its 'life'.

You must know that Yan Mingcheng's new equipment is the first time on the 'battlefield'. Everything is still unknown. Although it is only a drill, the requirements are the same as the actual combat.
