Chapter 415: M26 Heavy Tank VS Improved T-34

"These Chinese really dare to dispatch armored troops, they are really self-defeating!"

In the faint morning light, Lieutenant Jason, who commanded the US 1st Cavalry Division and the 2nd Armored Battalion A Armored Battle Group, looked through the telescope at the several black shadows gradually approaching in the open space in the distance, and his knife-like face couldn't help but show a mocking smile: "If they use infantry, I may still find it more troublesome, but it's a pity ......."

Lieutenant Jason didn't finish his words, but from the sneering smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became cruel, he could realize that his words were already self-evident, and the staff officers who followed him understood it even more, and hurried over and said with a smile: "I think it's better to call the supporting air force directly and let them solve the problem with a wave of bombs......

"No!"

Before the staff officer could finish speaking, Lieutenant Jason interrupted with a wave of his hand: "The establishment of contact with the air force is mainly used to deal with the infantry of the Chinese, as for their armored forces...... Hum...... Our 90mm tank guns are more efficient than napalm on airplanes! ”

"This ......"

The staff officer couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, no way, it was really Lieutenant Jason's right words.

Under the instruction of Major Cabreno, the commander of the 2nd Armored Battalion, their A armored battle group will carry out large-depth armor penetration, which will naturally receive cover from the air force.

However, since most of the volunteers are mainly infantry, the ammunition provided by the air force as cover is mainly high-explosive bombs and napalm bombs that kill and injure living targets, and anti-tank ammunition is not equipped at all.

Therefore, although the US Air Force can use these munitions to cause some damage to tanks, compared with professional anti-armor munitions, its killing effect on armored targets is not very significant.

Compared with the embarrassment of the Air Force in ammunition, the 8 M26 heavy tanks equipped by their A armored battle group are different, because of the huge advantages in materials and technology, the 90mm tank gun equipped with is one of the best tank guns in the world today, even compared with the 100mm tank gun on the latest T-54 tank equipped by the Soviet Union, it is not inferior.

Not only that, the M26 heavy tank equipped by the A armored battle group has many improvements to improve its combat effectiveness compared with the previous tanks of this model, such as the installation of a tank gun smoke device on the muzzle, and the installation of the latest tank gun vertical stabilization system inside.

Coupled with the complete tank gun parameter calculation system such as azimuth angle indicator, elephant position, height and height meter, etc., this already sharp 90mm tank gun is even more powerful.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the T-34 was a "canned caviar" in front of the previous M26 tank, then in front of the improved M26 it was a piece of toilet paper, which was simply broken in a bucket.

This is true in the face of the T-34, and in the face of the so-called new Soviet tanks that were blown into the sky by the French, why is it not the same?

So the staff officer nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, sir, only those French will take the Chinese tanks to the sky, what new tanks provided by the Soviet Union."

I have seen the destroyed 'Sherman', all of which were destroyed by the 85mm armor-piercing shells produced by the Soviet Union during World War II, in other words, the T-34 is still used in the Chinese, even if there is some progress, it is also an improvement of the T-34, and it is not a new Soviet tank at all, let alone ......"

As he spoke, the staff officer suddenly laughed suspiciously: "With the stingy character of the Soviets, can they really provide the most advanced equipment to the Chinese?" It's a dream! ”

"Only the French, who have no roots in their heads, will believe that China is using a new Soviet tank!" Lieutenant Jason pouted contemptuously, then picked up the binoculars again, looked at the approaching volunteer tank, and smiled: "If these Chinese want to humiliate themselves, then I will fulfill them!"

Order the infantry, strengthen the defense of the two flanks, imitate the surprise attack of the Chinese infantry, and as for the Chinese tanks in front of me, I will wait for them here, waiting for them to rush to 500 meters, and then blow them up into parts one by one! ”

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the staff officer immediately straightened his waist solemnly, and then grabbed the radio intercom on the side, and conveyed Lieutenant Jason's order, and soon the officers and soldiers of the A armored battle group took action, and the ten armored vehicles were divided into two groups and began to move to the two wings, and then relied on the armored vehicles to form a simple defensive position, vigilantly watching every move between the hills on both sides.

An armored car was located in the center of the ferry, and the indicator light of the air-ground liaison radio on it flashed frequently, and the air-ground liaison mechanism had already been established, so that whenever the two wings of the armored battle group A saw the shadow of the Chinese infantry, they would immediately call the fighters patrolling the sky and drop waves of napalm on the heads of the Chinese soldiers.

As for the center, the eight M26 heavy tanks belonging to the A armored battle group relied on the cover of the gentle slopes of the hills, almost lined up, and the commanders on each tank closely watched the movement of the selected targets, and the gun commanders began to adjust the muzzle orientation according to the calculated parameters, while the loaders had already pushed the high-speed armor-piercing shells into the gun chambers, and were looking forward to the moment when the shells hit the target through the observation holes one by one......

Zhang Huangxin noticed the movement of the US tanks in front of him for the first time, and couldn't help but smile coldly: "These American devils still dare to follow the old routine, well, let's take a look at my new routine!" ”

After that, Zhang Huangxin grabbed the command intercom and ordered in a loud voice: "Group 1 and Group 2 are outflanked by both wings, and I will cover frontally!" ”

"Yes!"

As the answers of groups 1 and 2 came from the headsets, the attack formation of the five improved T-34 tanks, which was originally a triangle, changed rapidly, and the four tanks on both flanks were divided into two groups, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the left and right flanks of the American tanks.

At the same time, Zhang Huangxin, who was in the middle, began to aim at the US troops in front of him while on the move, thanks to the two-way stabilization system of the all-electric tank gun, even when the improved T-34 tank was driving at high speed, the muzzle of the gun could be pointed straight at the target in a fixed position.

Seeing this, Zhang Huangxin couldn't help but smile slightly, and immediately leaned down to look at the scale on the scope, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "New armor piercing, 800 meters, No. 1 target, 2 rounds, release!" ”

Under an order, the loader quickly knocked out the new 85mm armor-piercing bullet produced by the Baiyun Factory in the magazine and pushed it into the gun chamber. With a bang, the new 85mm armor-piercing bullet rushed away with the flames rising from the muzzle.

However, the tank did not stop there, and the loader, like a robot, once again loaded another 85mm armor-piercing bullet into the gun chamber, and it was "Boom!" With a bang, the 85mm armor-piercing projectile with a slender warhead and a rounded body once again carried a sharp sound of breaking the wind, followed by the previous shell, and pounced directly on an M26 heavy tank with a slender barrel on the front side......
