"Grandpa Chen, can you give me a closer look at our Type 99 main battle tank?" Huo Xiaotian listened to Mr. Chen's introduction, and suddenly became interested in this kind of big guy weighing more than 50 tons.

This main battle tank, which is known as the top three in the world today, is really fascinating.

"Hehe, I knew you kid wouldn't be able to help it, go ahead, Xiao Liu take him to play." Old Man Chen generously agreed.

Xiao Liu is Mr. Chen's secretary, although he looks like a soldier in front of Mr. Chen, but in the military region, he is a high-level officer, with the rank of colonel, almost equivalent to a cadre at the division level.

"Uncle Liu, shouldn't that row of big white houses be all Type 99 main battle tanks?" Huo Xiaotian pointed to the white house in the west and asked.

"Not only the 99 style, but also the 96 style and the T80." Secretary Liu said.

"Oh? How can there be such a backward tank as the T80? Huo Xiaotian asked strangely.

Hearing this, Secretary Liu glanced back at Huo Xiaotian strangely, "T80 is lagging behind?" ”

"Yes, although I don't know much about military equipment, but I also know a little bit of common sense, T80 is an old equipment made in the Suerguan period, which was improved from T64, and it has been thirty or forty years ago, so it has long been behind, right?" Huo Xiaotian asked.

"Hehe, I really didn't see it, you really know a little, but this kind of tank is not outdated at the moment, and the T80 may suffer a little against today's world-class tanks, but if it is against ordinary tanks, it is definitely more than enough. Even if it's the 90's style. The T80 is also by no means ambiguous. Secretary Liu said confidently.

"Uncle Liu. You're not kidding, are you? The island nation's Type 90 is an advanced tank, and its ranking is at least in the top ten in the world, right? Can the T80 be better than the Type 90? Huo Xiaotian asked as if he didn't believe it.

"The tank is not powerful, mainly look at three indicators, the first firepower, the second power, the third armor protection, although the T80 tank is a little weaker than the Type 90 in mobility and armor protection, but. The firepower is absolutely first-class, 120 mm caliber, with armor-piercing shells, you can easily overturn the armor of Type 90, he hits us, let's hit him, what do you say is to be afraid of? As soon as Secretary Liu said this, Huo Xiaotian instantly suddenly nodded with a smile.

"What's more, our T80 is not an old version, it is all imitated by ourselves. At the same time of imitation, we also added our characteristics. The fire control system has been improved, so in terms of offense, our T80 performance is definitely not weak.

Even this T80 is not available in every armored division, you must know that in some non-main armored corps, some are still using T72. Secretary Liu said with a smile.

“T72？ I'm dizzy, it's not as good as the T80. Huo Xiaotian said with a smile.

"We are a Class A group army, so the equipment is the best in the whole army, we have an armored division stationed here, a total of more than 300 tanks, more than half of which are the latest Type 99 main battle tanks, one-third of the T80, and part of the Type 96." Secretary Liu said as he walked.

"Why is it still configured like this? Either it's all Type 99, or it's all T80, how can you still mix it with Type 96 tanks? Huo Xiaotian asked strangely.

"Actually, the Ministry of Armed Forces can't help it, you know? Although the 99 type has good performance, powerful firepower, thick armor and strong mobility, the cost is too high, and the cost of a 99 type is 16 million soft girl coins, which is still a naked car, and if various electronic fire control systems are installed, the price is higher.

Another is that the weight of the 99 type is too heavy, more than 50 tons, and ordinary roads and bridges cannot bear the load, so it is impossible to equip the troops on a large scale, and even if they really want to change their equipment, it will take a while. Secretary Liu sighed and said.

Huo Xiaotian followed Secretary Liu to the tank battalion, and happened to meet an officer who was carrying two bars and a star on his shoulders, obviously with the rank of major.

"Huh? Secretary Liu, why are you here? The Major smiled and asked.

"Lao Zhang, are you on training today?" Secretary Liu gave a military salute and asked.

The major immediately returned a military salute.

"yes, what? Who is this? Major Zhang looked Huo Xiaotian up and down and asked.

"This is Xiao Huo, our relative of Mr. Chen, come and have a look, you take him to play in the camp, he has never touched the tank, on the basis of ensuring safety training, if possible, let him practice his hands, how about it?" Secretary Liu asked.

"Hehe, okay, no problem." As soon as he heard that it was Mr. Chen's relatives or Secretary Liu personally sent it, Major Zhang immediately agreed with a smile.

"Xiao Huo, this is Head Zhang, you just go with him, pay attention to safety." Secretary Liu advised.

"Hey, okay, thank you, Uncle Liu." Huo Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, then I'll go back first, by the way, after the training, send someone to send Xiao Huo back to the division headquarters." Secretary Liu carefully told Head Zhang.

"Okay." Head Zhang neatly agreed, and watched Secretary Liu leave.

Huo Xiaotian followed Regiment Commander Zhang to the tank training base, and after walking into it, Huo Xiaotian felt that his eardrum was buzzing, and the sound of tank motors was everywhere.

If you talk about one tank, it will be enough, but if dozens of tanks are driven together, the movement is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

In addition, there is the dust and sand raised by the tank tracks crushing the road, which is yellow and misty, and the visibility is not very impressive.

"Xiao Huo, have you ever driven a tank before?" Head Zhang asked.

"Nope." Huo Xiaotian shook his head with a smile.

"Haven't touched it?" Head Zhang asked again.

"Hehe, no." Huo Xiaotian smiled again.

"Okay, I'll find a tank and show you how to feel first." As he spoke, Commander Zhang waved to a soldier on the training ground, and the soldier immediately trotted over when he saw Commander Zhang waving.

"Report, Captain!" The soldier stood upright and gave a military salute.

"Go and get Company Commander Sun." Head Zhang said.

"Yes!" The soldier saluted again and ran towards a tank two or three hundred meters away.

At this time, Company Commander Sun was helping the recruits clean a tank, and after a day of tank training, it was covered with dust and sand, and it needed to be cleaned up in time, otherwise it would easily affect the service life.

"Remember, the tank's sighting system is a very sophisticated instrument, you can't directly use a water cannon, you must use a clean rag, wipe it carefully, this set of instruments is the tank's eyes, if something goes wrong here, you are a live target for the enemy on the battlefield, you know?" Company Commander Sun used a clean rag to wipe the dust on the sight while explaining seriously.

"Got it! ~" The surrounding recruits shouted in unison. (To be continued......)
