Chapter 400: A Different T-34 Tank (Medium)

Zakharov couldn't help but admire, it was really the T-34\85 tank operated by Zhang Huangxin's 576 crew that impressed him too much......

After the 576 crew was reorganized from the heavy fire company to a certain armored regiment, the T-34\85 tank they operated did not look much different, except that the middle and rear of the S-53 85mm tank gun had an additional bamboo bulge more than half a meter long, as if the entire gun barrel was not cast as a piece, but was hooped together with the metal "bamboo".

Although Zakharov noticed this, he did not ask in detail, in his opinion, this is nothing more than a new trick of those Chinese comrades in the logistics department of the Volunteer Army to repair damaged tank guns, after all, he has also heard of the high-intensity training carried out by the 576 car crew in the heavy fire company, and several serious tank damage and failures are well known.

So Zakharov concluded that the T-34\85 tanks of the 576 car group were probably tossed by the Chinese for a while before they were built, otherwise why would the tank guns still have "plasters" pasted?

For this reason, Zakharov privately said contemptuously to other Soviet colleagues: "Our Chinese comrades are too high-spirited, and their own economic and technological conditions are not available, but they have to explore what multi-arm combined tactics, now it's good, the tank gun is broken, and they are reluctant to replace it with a new one, so they can only use steel pipes to hoop the barrels. ”

Zakharov's words are full of big families who don't have to worry about food and clothing, disdain for poor neighbors, and only feel that the Chinese army is really a bit ambitious, and it doesn't matter how it tosses it.

But now China can't even make a tank load wheel, and it is even more concerned about buying spare parts for Soviet tanks to the point of not saying a single penny, and asking the Soviet Union to buy one get one free on tank spare parts, but as a result, he tosses it vigorously when he gets it, and he has no intention of caring for it, which makes Zakharov see it in his eyes and be angry in his heart.

However, soon, Zakharov's anger and contempt turned into amazement and attention in a shooting training organized by a certain armored regiment, because he saw Zhang Huangxin's 576 car crew with his own eyes, and the T-34\85 tank he was handling was already extremely accurate, not to mention its rate of fire was even faster.

So much so that the tank of the 576 car group was enough to catch up with the firepower output of the three tanks next to it, so powerful that even Zakharov, an armored old bird who had fought with the elite German armored forces, couldn't help but be amazed.

If nothing else, just by virtue of this rate of fire, as long as the terrain is suitable and the tactics are appropriate, it is not impossible to once again stage the miracle of the Soviet KV Divine Cult and single-handedly block a German division.

After realizing this, not to mention Major Zakharov, it was his boss, the captain of the Soviet instructor corps who was in charge of a certain armored regiment of the entire Volunteer Army, could not sit still, and without waiting for the end of the shooting training, he ran to the T-576\34\85 tank where the 85 car group was located.

With leaders taking the lead, Zakharov and other Soviet instructors scrambled to be the first, and soon surrounded the tanks of the 576 car group in three layers and three layers outside.

As a result, it was only after such a field inspection that it was discovered that the tank operated by the 576 crew was able to achieve such an impressive firepower output, thanks to the bamboo-like iron hoop in the rear of the middle of the barrel, which Zakharov and others had been despising all along.

Because it is the existence of that iron hoop that allows the originally dense shell exhaust to be emptied, so that the environment inside the tank is greatly improved, and the tankers who no longer have to worry about the danger of exhaust gas are naturally unscrupulous to exert their full strength, which creates the magical firepower output of the scene just now.

The captain of the Soviet instructor corps, who learned the inside story, immediately felt as if he had obtained some rare treasure, and regardless of his fat body, he climbed onto the barrel of the gun and held the tank gun smoker to look left and right, and muttered in his mouth: "This thing is so good, with it, I am not afraid of those unpleasant exhaust gases...... That's great...... Great......"

Not only this captain, but also other Soviet instructors, even Zakharov, who was the most despised before, had his eyes lit up, thinking about how to learn this technique.

This will not only make the tank's combat capability to a higher level, but will also make himself completely change from an unknown technical officer to a respected technical expert.

However, he forgot one thing, the gift of God was not only given to him, but also to the other Soviet instructors who were surrounding the 576 vehicle tank, and it seemed that more than half of it was returned to the instructor captain, because the old guy not only climbed on the barrel of the gun to observe every detail on the cigarette at close range, but also called Zhang Huangxin to ask questions all the time.

Fortunately, Zhang Huangxin is not very clear about the details, and the principle in the real thing, only relying on them, the instructors who only know combat and maintenance, obviously can't understand it, so Zakharov's fear of being robbed of peaches gradually calmed down.

However, just when he secretly hid this mind and was about to wait for the time to be released, he didn't expect that God would give him another great gift, and he actually sent the inventor of the tank smoker directly to him, and the hidden mind jumped out with a bang.

So much so that Zakharov couldn't help but take a 180-degree turn in his attitude towards Bai Yi, and the enthusiasm he showed was almost able to melt steel: "Actually, I have long admired the inventor of the cigarette smoker, but I didn't expect it to be such a young comrade in the prime of life.

You are right that both Soviet tanks and Western armored vehicles have their own unique strengths, just as the German philosopher Hegel said that existence is reasonable, and since the West insists on using complex hydraulic-mechanical transmission systems, it must have its merits! ”

Bai Yi couldn't imagine that the major of the Soviet Army, who was still teaching himself the greatness of the Soviet equipment thinking just now, actually began to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the equipment of the East and the West, that kind of polite look, and inclusive tone, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Bai Yi couldn't believe that it was the same person in front of him.

However, at this time, he had already learned from Zhang Huangxin that Zakharov was very similar to learning the technology of tank gun smokers......

"Such a transmission device that can be recognized by the two of you experts is naturally a good thing, I am now wondering, can this set of labor-saving transmission system be placed on the new tank you have made, if so, then the combat effectiveness of our crew can be like a tiger!"

Just when Bai Yi was thinking about how to respond to Zakharov's words, Zhang Huangxin's sudden and heavy voice interrupted Bai Yi's train of thought, and Zakharov on the other side froze somewhere, looked at Zhang Huangxin in disbelief, and said slightly silently: "Is there a sharper modified version of the T-34\85 tank?" ”
