Chapter 189: Rage T-26

In terms of volume and length, it is a little larger than CV33, but in terms of height, the other party is far exceeded!

The top of the CV33 hull is almost flat, and the tank that comes across has a large turret on the top!

The hull is high in the front and low in the back, the neck is a little long, and there is a turret on top, this kind of tank is the T-26 of the Soviets! Especially on the top of the turret, the tank gun like a firewood stick made the Italian tank soldiers here even more frightened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The other side also has tanks, and besides, on the other side's tanks, there are also tank guns! Look at the caliber, it's 45 mm!

The 45 mm tank gun, if compared to World War II, is definitely an extremely outdated tank gun, but now, at the end of 36, the 45 mm tank gun is definitely powerful!

This tank, like the tanks of many other countries, was designed on the basis of the British "Vickers" tank, which was officially finalized in 1931 and equipped with the Soviet Red Army in 1932, and was one of the main equipment of the Soviet Red Army tank units in the early days.

If compared with the German tank I of the same period in history, the firepower of the T-26 is much higher than that of the I., and surpasses the II, reaching or even exceeding the level of the 38t and the early III., after all, even the latter two are only equipped with 37 mm guns.

In the early days, the T-26A had a side-by-side twin turret design, and the main gun was 37 mm caliber, and by the time the T-26B was enlarged to 45 mm caliber.

This embodies one of the principles of the Soviets, firepower, firepower, firepower! That's the first principle! Maneuvering, protection, all give way to fire!

Even if the armor protection of this T-26 light tank is only 15 mm, it is not enough to resist infantry fire. They also want to strengthen the tank guns first!

In the later period, it was the same, when the KV2 appeared with a 152-mm howitzer on top, it was like a thoroughly big-headed son, and even received the title of toilet head.

The T-26 tank, a tank that was heavily equipped by the Soviets, and now this tank was secretly transported to Madrid!

Inside the tank, tankmen from the Soviet Union were driving.

Tanks, in this era are absolutely high-tech equipment. If you want to train ordinary people to be able to drive tanks in battle, it is impossible to do without three or five months, not to mention the tedious operation essentials, you need to have a high school degree.

Therefore, these tank crews are all from the Soviet Union, and in their hands, they all have at least one year of experience in operating tanks.

Now, the rebels are attacking Madrid, and here it is mainly a defensive battle, but in a defensive battle, it is still possible to fight several counterattacks!

Like now! The rebels are fierce and need to defeat their spirit!

The engine of the T-26 tank rumbled, this ten-ton tank, the tail was a 91-horsepower engine, at this time, the gasoline engine was roaring, and the tank crews operated the tank and launched a counterattack against the Italian army on the opposite side.

T-26! It's actually a T-26! When the Italian tank crews, after seeing the tanks on the opposite side clearly, they made their choice almost without any hesitation, hung up reverse gear and ran away!

Your own machine guns will not be able to pose a threat to the opponent at all, and the opponent's 45 mm tank guns will be able to easily destroy yourself!

The Italians are not stupid, they were expecting German tanks to give them courage, and now, only they are left, and they are not confident enough, and now, when they encounter the tanks on the opposite side, they can only choose to retreat if they cannot be defeated.

It is not so easy to operate a tank to make a U-turn, and it will waste valuable time, so in the first time, they all chose to hang the reverse gear.

As for the infantry of the Noodle Army that followed behind, they were not stupid, and when they saw their tanks retreating, of course, they also followed and ran backwards.

"Oh, oh!" The soldiers in the rear position cheered instantly, they were extremely excited, and their tanks had just been dispatched, and they were so frightened that they retreated!

The cheers here are encouraging the T-26 tank troops, who step on the accelerator, increase their speed, and attack in the direction of the Italian army!

Any kind of tank in this era has a faster forward speed than a backward speed, so it didn't take long for the T-26 tank to catch up with the regressing CV33 tank!

Although both tanks are small, there is no doubt that the CV33 tank is even smaller!

A T-26 tank stopped, and the commander shouted: "Aim, shoot!" ”

"Boom!" The T-26 tank let out a roar, the hull shook violently, and in the tremble, a 45-mm shell flew over!

In this era, how to counterattack armored forces is an emerging topic, and after research, there are two common anti-armor shells, cap-piercing shells and steel-core armor-piercing shells.

Among them, capped armor-piercing shells are a common scheme.

If the warhead is blunt, then the armor-piercing projectile can make the armor-piercing projectile "turn positive" when it comes into contact with the armor with a large inclination, reducing the angle of incidence of the warhead and making it easier to penetrate the armor.

Therefore, weld a tough, blunt quilt cap on the outside of the sharper head of the armor-piercing bullet to reduce jumping. This blunt head is called the "quilt cap" of the armor-piercing bullet. This is a blunt-tipped cap-piercing bullet.

These armored soldiers sent by Moscow are highly skilled, and in static and dynamic shooting, the accuracy is very high!

The 45mm armor-piercing projectile that flew out accurately hit the weak armor of the CV33, and then, the front quilt cap just began to soften, and when the warhead inside was ready to exert force, the target armor could not withstand the pressure of the impact and broke a big hole!

Following this gap, a 45-mm armor-piercing projectile drilled in, from the front, through to the back, and all the way to the engine in the back.

A raging fire, which came out of the interior of this CV33 tank, destroyed accurately!

On the Badajoth front, such small tanks put a lot of pressure on the defenders, and now, in front of the T-26 tanks, such small tanks, vulnerable!

The Soviets have always attached great importance to the power of artillery fire, and the current 45-mm tank gun is also a product of this thinking, how powerful is its firepower? At a distance of 100 meters, it is possible to penetrate about 40 mm of armor steel!

The CV33 small tank, with frontal armor only a dozen millimeters thick, simply could not withstand the fire of such a tank gun! As long as it hits, it will be destroyed!

T-26s made a deafening roar, and under their blows, the Italian army completely retreated!
