The 59-1 and 59-2 tanks, neither worked on protection.

The 59 tank, a generation of tanks, firepower, mobility, protection, is almost a sparse level, the original 100 mm rifled gun, the depth of penetration is only 140 mm, it can be said that even their own armor can not be penetrated, after all, the thickest gun shield of their own tank, there are 220 mm.

The 520 hp engine is just enough, and for the tanker, following the third generation of tanks, you can only eat ash in the back. In terms of protection, the thickest part is 220 mm, and there is no room for survival in front of the 105 mm rifled gun, which can penetrate more than 300 mm at every turn.

But now, if you want to improve the 59 tank, the first thing to consider is, of course, the firepower, after all, if the mobile protection is put aside, if the firepower is not changed, the tank is useless on the battlefield, and it cannot penetrate the enemy's tank, that is, the burning stick.

Therefore, first of all, the 105 mm rifled gun was replaced, and the advanced armor-piercing shells produced by the other side came up, and the improved 580 horsepower diesel engine was used, which was considered improvised, and now, the performance is only left with the protection that has not yet increased.

The protective power of the tank is reflected by its own armor, and the 59 tank is already like that, and it is not easy to add an extra layer of armor.

Not to mention anything else, just the increase in self-weight will put an even heavier burden on the originally unwealthy power.

Qin Zhenhua's thoughts had already begun to drift, how could he improve the protection of this tank?

Now, the country has begun to develop composite armor, but this thing can only be used on new tanks, and the transformation of old tanks has to find another way.

On the battlefield, at this time, the tank troops did not have Qin Zhenhua's worries and were penetrated by the enemy? Just be one step ahead of the enemy and take out the opponent, isn't it?

The best defense is offense, and that's not bad at all.

Liu Dajun stood in his tank, bumpy, and he kept giving orders one after another.

They rushed to the front, and behind them, more tank units were charging, and behind the tanks, there were individual soldiers, running behind the tanks, and the whole exercise field was bustling.

In the sky, there was a roar, and one after another fighter planes appeared on the exercise site, and these Qiang-5 attack planes with ground support swooped down from the sky and fired at one target after another.

"Damn, don't rob Lao Tzu! It's amazing to have iron wings. Looking at the front of his position, one by one the targets were blown up, Liu Dajun was very annoyed.

In the West, air-ground joint operations are already very skillful, and the air force can support the ground at any time, and the ground forces can also call for air support, but at home, this cannot be done at all, and the air force fights the air force, the army fights the army, and the air force flies fast, so it will naturally call more ground targets.

Seeing that one target after another was actually hit by the air force, Liu Dajun was angry, and he shouted loudly: "Attention, raise the muzzle of the gun for me, target, target eight kilometers away!" ”

Hearing his words, the gunner was stunned.

The caliber of tank guns is not small, often more than 100 millimeters, but the firing range of tank guns is quite close, that is, only one or two thousand meters, and even most battles break out within one thousand meters.

Why is that?

Because the tank gun is a direct fire, the tank gun is aimed at the opposite side and fires directly, and the trajectory of the shell is almost straight, but the muzzle is slightly raised to offset the attraction of the earth, and in the case of direct aiming, the firing range is naturally greatly reduced.

Of course, tank guns can also be fired in a curved way, raising the barrel and letting the shells fly over in a parabola, the firing range can be greatly increased, and the original tank gun of the 59 tank can hit the shells 15 kilometers away.

It's just that, in this case, the original aiming method is not applicable, in the case of completely relying on optical aiming in the past, the curved shooting is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and no one has a score in his heart, and now, Liu Dajun said that he wants to shoot in the curved shot, although the fire control system has been improved, if you want to hit, there is no perfect certainty.

"All platoon attention, stop, fire!"

When firing directly, Liu Dajun can play with firing on the move, but if he shoots at a curved shot, the error in the march is too big, and he doesn't dare to play like this, and now, with his order, the three tanks of the moving knife platoon stopped in unison.

Then, the muzzle of the cannon was raised, and the barrel of the cannon was erected, and everyone on the observation platform here also pointed their binoculars at them.

Is this going to be a warp shot? Interestingly, this heroic unit has superb combat quality and tough style, which makes people sigh.

Then, a huge fireball came out of the muzzle, and one grenade after another was launched from the muzzle and flew towards the target eight kilometers away.

Without looking at the results of the battle, the tank started again.

A helicopter in the sky recorded this one with a video camera, three tracer shells, dragged out a bright line, and then, the target eight kilometers away, fell into a sea of fire.

If it was one, it might miss, but three of them were enough to form a covering attack surface, and three of them beckoned, and a plane that was about to dive down from the air to drop bombs could only pull up, and at the same time, shouted loudly on the radio: "What's the matter?" Which unit did it? How to disobey the arrangements of the pre-war exercise command? ”

The pilot was annoyed, looked at the black smoke rising from that target, and glanced at the tank troops behind him with his eyes, damn, it's close to ten kilometers, these crazy people who drive tanks!

Just when the battle was raging on the main battlefield, in the north, far away from the battlefield, a special force was dispatched.

Since it is a military exercise, there are red and blue sides, then, both sides naturally have to be dispatched, but, according to the arrangement of the exercise department, the number of blue troops is not much, and there will be no chance for the two sides to clash, after all, it is too dangerous.

It's just a simulation of the big picture.

The number of this force was not large, with ten tanks in front and a large number of infantry behind, a posture of infantry coordination.

The soldiers, wearing Soviet uniforms and holding Soviet-made weapons, also looked murderous, while the tanks in front of them did not start fast, and the high 85 mm barrels were more like pretentiousness.

Only the tank in front, which looks special. What's so special about it? The distance is too far to tell the actual size, but the following six pairs of load-bearing wheels show that it is very different from previous tanks.
