Old Tang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a solemn expression: "I said Comrade Huang Xin, don't be reckless, do you know what kind of tank the US military uses at the ferry?" M26 Heavy Tank! Your 85mm tank gun will not work well against the Iron King, or let our infantry go around their backs and spank their ass, absolutely one hit at a time! ”

When Pyongyang reorganized the heavy firepower company, Lao Tang worked infantry anti-tank warfare, so he was very familiar with the various types of tanks that the US military is equipped with at this stage.

M26 is a type of heavy tank developed and equipped by the U.S. Army at the end of World War II, mainly used against the German "Tiger" and "King Tiger" heavy tanks.

Thanks to the superiority of the United States in materials, the M26 heavy tank was able to reach the general level of defense of the Tiger tank, which weighed almost 60 tons, with an overall mass of 41 tons.

Equipped with the GAF V-shaped 8-cylinder engine tailored by the United States, the M26 heavy tank has far more maneuverability than the "Tiger".

If we add the 90mm tank gun with a caliber of 70 times, its actual combat power has surpassed that of the "Tiger" tank and is close to the level of the "King Tiger" tank.

Because of this, when the U.S. military dropped the M26 heavy tank on the Korean battlefield, it immediately posed a serious threat to the T-34 on the North Korean side.

Because the 90mm tank gun equipped with the M26 heavy tank can easily penetrate the 90mm thick armor steel plate on the front of the T-34 at a distance of one kilometer, while the 85mm tank gun equipped with the 55 times caliber equipped with the T-34 can only penetrate the 120mm thick high-strength armor steel on the front of the M26 heavy tank at a distance of 500 meters.

In actual combat, it is impossible for the T-34 to rush into the effective strike distance of the M26 heavy tank within 500 meters, because before the T-34 can rush over, the M26 heavy tank has already reimbursed the T-34 with its 90mm tank gun.

At the end of September last year, an armored regiment of the Korean People's Army swooped down on the Pusan defensive ring held by the US military and collided with a platoon of M26 heavy tanks of the US army.

Originally, the armored regiment of the Korean People's Army was ready to use the numerical superiority of more than 30 T-34 tanks to completely crush the six M26 heavy tanks, but it did not want to start the battle, and the T-34 tanks of the Korean People's Army were destroyed one after another at a distance of 1,000 meters.

However, the ammunition fired by the T-34 tank had no effect on the M26 heavy tank, so the encounter became a massacre of the M26 heavy tank against the T-34 tank......

After that, the U.S. tankers who operated the M26 heavy tank gave the T-34 the nickname "canned caviar", which means that under the 90mm gun of the M26 heavy tank, hitting the T-34 is as easy as opening a caviar can.

Under the threat of the M26 heavy tank, the Korean People's Army no longer dared to organize valuable armored forces to confront the US army, even if it was the T-34\85 tank equipped by the later volunteers, when encountering the M26 heavy tank, it was also tried to avoid being entangled by it.

Therefore, whether it is the Volunteer Army or the Korean People's Army, they regard their tank units as mobile batteries for infantry, rather than as an important assault force in World War II, and the reason for this is that the US military has air supremacy, which restricts the large-scale assembly of armored forces, but the absolute advantage of the M26 heavy tank over the T-34 is also an important reason that cannot be ignored.

Because of this, Lao Tang did a very detailed study on how to fight the M26 heavy tank, and finally came to the conclusion that it should be in the spirit of fighting bayonets, so that the infantry is close to the M26 heavy tank, and then use the 40mm individual rocket launcher to strike at the tank, after all, the armor-piercing projectile used by the 40mm individual rocket launcher can be described as the natural enemy of tank armor, and the more advanced T-54 tank cannot stop its edge, not to mention the inferior M26 heavy tank?

In his opinion, Zhang Huangxin's several tanks are powerful, but the foundation is still T-34, and there is not much advantage in the face of sharp M26 heavy tanks.

Zhang Huangxin can't see Lao Tang's thoughts, to be honest, if he was placed in the past, he would have no bottom in his heart in the face of the U.S. military's M26 heavy tank, after all, you can't beat others, but people can clean up your gap casually, but you can't make up for it by gritting your teeth.

Although it is possible to fight with the determination of a bayonet, the price is unbearable for anyone, and the effect may not be obvious.

So even if Old Tang didn't say anything, he would ask Old Tang's heavy firepower company to cover his armored troops.

But now, he has the new T-34\85 tank modified by Bai Yi, although it is still inferior to the 90mm tank gun equipped with the M26 heavy tank in terms of firepower, but the improved T-34\85 tank is not a "caviar can" that can be knocked out at will as before!

Especially not long ago, the battle that broke through the blockade line of the French "Sherman" MK4 tank made Zhang Huangxin have great confidence in the improved T-34\85 tank.

Because the vehicle is equipped with the two-way stabilization system of the "Eureka" I all-electric tank gun transplanted from the captured British "Centurion" MK3 tank, it not only makes the calculation of the firing parameters of the improved T-34\85 tank more convenient and fast, but more importantly, gives the tank the ability to shoot accurately on the move.

And this is the killer weapon against the M26 heavy tank, because in the past operations, even if the T-34\85 tank rushed to the M26 heavy tank, it had to stop the car, but then aim and shoot, and at this time, the M26 heavy tank of the US army did not move in place often included the T-34 tank that rushed over into the scope, so the T-34 that usually rushed over was already broken into parts by the M26 heavy tank before it could fire.

But now, thanks to the existence of the two-way stabilization system of the tank gun, even if it moves quickly, the tank gun can still maintain continuous aiming at the target, so it saves the trouble of stopping and aiming, and directly rushes to the shooting distance quickly and fires suddenly!

What's more, the improved T-34\85 tanks commanded by Zhang Huangxin are also equipped with the new 85mm armor-piercing shells developed by the Baiyun Factory based on the 80mm recoilless guns equipped with the 80mm recoilless guns, so that the 85mm tank guns, which could only be charged within 500 to pose a threat to the M26, can now easily penetrate the homogeneous armor with a thickness of 200mm only at a distance of 800 meters.

It is with the blessing of these layers of hole cards that Zhang Huangxin has the confidence to compete with the M26 tank at the ferry, after all, he has long been unaccustomed to the arrogance of the M26 heavy tank, since someone took the initiative to send it to the door, then he doesn't mind teaching those guys how to behave.

So he politely rejected Old Tang's request, grabbed the car intercom, and ordered in a loud voice: "Improved T-34, go!" ”

At the sound of an order, Zhang Huangxin led five improved T-34\85 tanks, and under the worried eyes of the old Tang, accompanied by the roar of the engine, they rushed towards the Xiaolin River ferry......
