On the shooting range of the weapons and equipment test site, the members of the new tank leading group who had gathered in the hall of the main control hall before all came to the composite armored target plate that had just undergone the hit of a 100mm armor-piercing projectile, and carefully looked at the circular hole like a flower left in the center of the target plate, or sighed, or shocked, or incredible, in a word, everyone was stunned by the situation in front of them.

You must know that this composite armor target has experienced the British L11 120mm rifled gun, and the new anti-tank ammunition using new ammunition technology has not been penetrated for several rounds of strikes, and its strong protection ability is already a well-known fact in the entire test site.

However, it is such a hard armor that is recognized as a steel and iron bone that cannot be penetrated, but the so-called new armor-piercing bullet that is fired by the old Type 59 100mm rifled gun and is favored by everyone is like a hot knife cutting butter, and it is easy to pierce it.

"Oh my God, is this really the effect of the old 100mm rifled gun on the Type 59 tank?"

"It's like hammering an egg, and it's smashed all at once"

"How do you get this effect?"

"Looking at the shape of the single hole and the degree of breaking speed, the residual power of the armor-piercing bullet is still very large, and it is estimated that at a longer distance, it can also penetrate the composite armor with super defensive power."

"It seems that with this kind of ammunition, even the old 59 in our hands can fight with the advanced T-72 of the Soviet Union."

"This ammunition, tsk~~~ It's really unusual"

When everyone saw the severely damaged composite armor target, they were shocked at first, and then shocked. But it didn't take long for the overall wind to turn, and they began to praise this new 100mm armor-piercing projectile, and some troops, especially experts who had been armored troops, saw the extremely high tactical and even deeper strategic value of this ammunition.

It is important to know that the flood of Soviet armor was threatened not only by the Western world, which was located on the plains of Europe. In the northeast, north, and northwest of China, more than one million Soviet troops in the Far East and Central Asia are deployed, and tens of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles are deployed.

Therefore, since the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 60s, China has attached great importance to armored forces and anti-armor weapons and equipment, and for a long time the top leaders have personally led and arranged the research and development of relevant weapons and equipment, including the Type 69 rocket launcher that imitates the Soviet RPG-7 and the Type 69 tank developed with reference to the T-62 tank captured from Zhenbao Island.

Not long ago, Lu Jiadong presided over the development of the Type 80 automatic grenade launcher, and the Type 81 portable rocket launcher, which has just been finalized and named. and the new 52-caliber 155mm howitzer, which is still being improved, the ultimate mission goal is to participate in anti-armor operations against the large-scale invasion of the Soviet Union.

Although China has made great progress in the field of anti-armor warfare due to the attention paid by the top level and the unremitting efforts of all military scientific research personnel, especially the successive finalization of several types of weapons and equipment developed by Lu Jiadong, the defects are also very obvious, especially the armored units of the Chinese army, which are equipped with the first generation of post-war tanks Type 59, which lagged behind the Soviet Union by nearly 20 years.

Although China has never stopped the research and development of armored vehicles such as tanks. However, due to its own technical level and experience ability, it has never been able to make breakthroughs. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to carry out a nationwide war preparation work aimed at "digging deep holes and accumulating grain" in the 60s and 70s, and the root cause of this is the weakness of China's conventional forces, especially in the area of armored mechanization clusters, whether in terms of quantity or quality, as well as the level of tactical application and training, and even relevant experience. Not at all on one level.

In particular, in terms of the technical level of tanks, the Soviet Union basically renewed the Soviet army's armored mechanization cluster once every 10 years, from the T-34/85 series, which was heavily equipped in World War II, to the classic T-54/55 series, from the T-62, which galloped in the Middle East, to the mysterious and powerful T-64, and from the T-72, which developed in a balanced manner, to the T-80, which is being developed intensively.

From the post-war period to the present in just over thirty years. Soviet tanks have been thrown out of China's several streets, even in the last ten years of China's relations with the West to improve, especially after the reform and opening up, China to speed up the pace of integration into the world, through the introduction, cooperation or independent research and development, China is also catching up in tank armor, although the current new tank project is a foreign cooperation project, but there is also no lack of the army and high-level technology to catch up with the tank armored vehicle technology to catch up and hope.

But as the saying goes, you can't eat a fat man in one bite, although we are now trying to catch up, and the relevant tank development models are one after another, but there are very few that can really be carried out and finally recognized and officially equipped by the troops, not to mention that the current national policy has been greatly adjusted, and economic construction has become the core purpose of the country for a long time to come.

The army and the military industry will have to go through a long period of "patience", therefore, it is foreseeable that in the future, a considerable number of tank development models will be forced to dismount, even if they are barely retained and finally developed, the troops will not be able to equip on a large scale because of financial problems, so the old Type 59 will still be the main model of China's armored mechanized forces in the expected time, and the Soviet Union's armor pressure will still not be changed in a short period of time.

However, with the new 100mm armor-piercing bullets that have just been tested, the old Type 59 tanks may not be able to penetrate the frontal armor of the T-72 and other advanced Soviet-made tanks within 500 meters, and can only adopt armored guerrilla warfare on the battlefield, and use covert, ambush or surprise attacks to attack the relatively weak side or rear armor of these tanks, otherwise, with the performance of the Type 59 tank, they will not even be qualified to charge in hand-to-hand combat in front of the T-72 and other advanced tanks.

However, once equipped with the new 100mm armor-piercing projectile, even an old tank like the Type 59 may be able to fight T― at a distance of about a kilometer. 72 constitutes fatal damage, although it is still impossible to catch up with other related technologies, but this alone can give the Chinese armored forces more choices, as well as more flexible tactical applications, and thus have a more solid foundation in future wars, not to mention that no matter how expensive such ammunition is, it is impossible to catch up with tanks, so it is also suitable for large-scale equipment, if it is really realized, it will have a very obvious improvement in the combat effectiveness of China's armored forces!

It is precisely seeing such a tactical application value, the people present are full of praise for this powerful and highly applicable new ammunition, and even more than the previous praise for composite armor, after all, to modify the armor of the old tank, the difficulty and cost can be much more than simply equipping a powerful ammunition.

Moreover, this kind of armor could not withstand the easy blow of the new anti-tank ammunition, so in the blink of an eye, everyone who was full of praise for the composite armor completely forgot this piece of iron plate that was as hard as King Kong an hour ago in the corner, and even Zhu Haifeng and Qin Jingbin, the main developers of the composite armor that had been surrounded by the stars and the moon before, were also thrown aside, as if they had become air.

Faced with this situation, both Zhu Haifeng and Qin Jingbin's hearts were like falling into an ice pool at the bottom of the valley, the original hopes, joyful expectations, and dreams in their hearts were all frozen into ice by the cold chill at this moment, and then ruthlessly smashed one by one with a hammer.

For such a gap, Zhu Haifeng was better, although he was very shocked to hear the news in the hall of the main control console, so that he didn't believe it was the truth, and then pushed away the crowd and ran to the shooting range to check it out, when he saw with his own eyes that the composite armor target plate that he thought was extremely defensive and extremely hard, and a big hole was effortlessly drilled by the new 100mm armor-piercing projectile.

His heart also seemed to have been dug into a deep blood hole, but no matter what, in the face of failure, Zhu Haifeng still had a certain amount of endurance, and his sadness lasted for a moment before he devoted himself to intense investigation, in order to find out the reason for the failure of the composite armor in this test.

But Qin Jingbin, who is also the main developer, is not as calm as Zhu Haifeng, after all, his expectations for composite armor are very high, and he hopes to win his long-coveted status in the material world, as well as the title of academician of the Academy of Sciences, it is with this heart of fame and fortune that he will care more about the success or failure of it, the previous excitement and even no scruples are like this, and now he has been beaten to nothing and lost his soul!

"This is a fluke, this is definitely a fluke, Lao Zhu, our composite armor can't be so bad, how can a 100mm rifled gun penetrate our composite armor?" I don't know how long it took, Qin Jingbin finally woke up from the gains and losses, but this kind of sobriety made him even more unable to face the facts in front of him, and then pulled Zhu Haifeng aside, and said very unconvinced:

"There must be something wrong with this armor, it is very likely to be a defective product, otherwise it will never be penetrated! You know, this armor is the condensation of Zhu Guangrong and Zhu Lao's hard work, as well as the research crystallization of the two of us who can advance to the academicians of the Academy of Sciences, it is impossible to be broken by a simple cannon, it is absolutely impossible."

Qin Jingbin was almost a little nervous when he said this, and his voice was even louder, so that the people around him really heard it clearly, and then cast strange eyes on him, but at this moment, several staff members of the test site trotted over and shouted to everyone at the scene:

"Chief Commander Lu ordered that the 1,000-meter test of the new 100mm armor-piercing projectile will be launched soon, please evacuate the shooting range as soon as possible."

Listening to the staff's words, and thinking about Qin Jingbin's words just now, everyone only felt that it was too much fit, and then while sneering, Qin Jingbin's gaze also changed from strange to indifferent and indifferent (to be continued. )
