Chapter 280: Main Battle Tank
However, this group of Black Angels faced a Sky Wolf sniper a kilometer away, and with the assault rifle in their hands, they could not pose a threat to the Sky Wolf member who fired the shot.
However, the Black Angel members are not vegetarians, and the Black Angel members in the rear base heard the exchange of fire on this side and quickly sent wheeled armored vehicles to support this side.
A few minutes later, an armored car stopped where the Sirius member had been, with only a few warm bullet casings on the ground, and as for the Sirius, it had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Report to the head of the regiment, we have nothing to do with this group of militants!"
One of his subordinates looked very solemn and looked cautiously at Galen, who was sitting in front of him.
"Withdraw everyone! Pull our tanks out! Go on patrol with tanks! ”
With the order given, eight MM1 tanks manufactured by Mega drove out of the Black Angel base with a loud roar.
The combat weight of the basic M1 is 54.5 tons, and the crew of the tank is 4.
The M1 tank has an excellent bulletproof shape, the turret and hull are mostly welded from steel plates, and the thickness of the armor varies from 125mm thick to 12.5mm thin.
The M1 is equipped with advanced Chobham armor in the frontal section.
This new type of armor has been specially treated to be 5 times stronger. In the Bending Sea War, most of the M1A1 tanks that participated in the war were replaced with depleted uranium armor, and the actual combat proved to be very successful.
The M1 tank adopts a compartment separation measure, using an armored partition to separate the stern compartment of the turret from the crew compartment, which can effectively avoid the damage of the secondary effect to the crew.
The main gun of the basic M1 is a standard 105mm M68E1 rifled gun, and the base number of 105mm shells of this tank is 55 rounds, of which 44 rounds are in the aft compartment of the turret.
In addition to the M60 tank standard shells, the M68E1 gun can also fire the newly developed M735 tracer tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectile, M774 tracer tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectile, and M883 tracer tail stabilized deshelling decapitated decorated uranium core armor-piercing projectile.
Secondary armament is an M240 7.62mm side-by-side machine gun, an M240 7.62mm machine gun at the top loader hatch of the turret and an M2 12.7mm machine gun on the commander's conning tower.
The M1 tank adopts the command ceremony digital tank fire control system, the main features of which are the independent stability of the optical main sight and the gun/turret, and the electro-hydraulic drive of the gun/turret and the follow-up of the main sight.
The M1 tank was the first standard tank in the world to use a gas turbine as the main power. The engine is an AGT-1500 gas turbine with an output of 1103k (1500 hp). The machine is simple to maintain, the cooling system is efficient, and it is determined that the fuel consumption rate and cost are high. The tank received an X-1100-3B fully automatic transmission and improved torsion bar suspension. The tank has 7 aluminum load wheels, 1 induction wheel, 1 driving wheel and 2 flange carrier pulleys on each side, and uses T156 type double-pin hanging rubber tracks.
The M1 tank has excellent off-road speed and acceleration performance, reaching a maximum speed of 72 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 32 km/h in just 7 seconds.
This is the main battle tank currently used by the US army, and although it has been used for decades, its technology is still in the leading position among similar weapons in the world.
As for how Black Angel got this medium-sized equipment from Mei Jianli, there are actually some stories.
As a military group that is not recognized by the international community, it is naturally impossible for the US military to sell such medium-sized equipment to him.
However, a few years ago, the United States sold this model of tank to a poor and backward tribal country in Africa at an ultra-low price of $3 million a piece.
However, the world was shocked by the fact that this small country was destroyed by the Black Angels after receiving aid and equipment from the US military, and these tanks naturally fell into the hands of Galen.
Interestingly, in the past few years, Galen has been using this tank to participate in mercenary wars, so the question is, where does Galen get the technical maintenance? Where does the ammunition supply come from?
But under the wave of war, the world has ignored these details.
Countless examples tell Galen that in the face of the Celestial Wolf, underestimating the enemy is equal to death!
"Report, the Black Angel base has sent tanks! First of all, they use tanks and infantry patrols! ”
Looking at the behemoth-like Meijianli main battle tank from afar, this Sky Wolf member quickly reported the situation to Ye Feng.
"What? Tanks are all out? ”
Ye Feng knew that Black Angel had medium-sized equipment, but he didn't expect Galen to take out his hole cards so quickly.
"Everyone, come back first! If you can't retreat, hide in place! Be careful! Don't be discovered! ”
With a cold snort, Ye Feng quickly gave the order to retreat.
In the face of tanks, the weapons of the Sky Wolf members against the Black Angels alone will not play any role, and if they stay there, as long as they are discovered, they are targets!
But a new problem arises, the weapons used by the Sky Wolf are all aimed at mercenaries, and there are no anti-armor weapons.
This stumped Ye Feng, if this problem was not solved, then the tactics of the Sky Wolf Assault Brigade would lose any effect.
According to the agreement, the Huaxia side is not allowed to provide weapons of mass destruction like the Sky Wolf Assault Brigade, and this provision directly cuts off the back route for Ye Feng to supply like the Huaxia military.
In this situation where everything can only be relied on by himself, Ye Feng instantly thought of a way - arms dealer!
On the land of Africa, there are many arms dealers, but many small arms dealers have no way to get the goods for anti-armor weapons, so they can only find large arms dealers.
However, a new question arises, how long has the wolf been on the soil of Africa? There is no contact with these arms dealers, and there is no way to contact them.
This completely stumped Ye Feng, these arms dealers were afraid that the regular army would die, how to find them was a problem, not to mention cooperation.
For the rest of the time, all the team members spent time in the secret base, and according to Ye Feng's instructions, they had to stay in the base until they got the anti-tank weapons.
"Lu Jiao, the Black Angel has tanks, we need anti-tank weapons! Can you help? ”
After thinking about it, Ye Feng decided to ask Lu Jianjun first, maybe there would be a solution.
"Anti-tank weapons? I can't solve this, but one person might have a solution! ”
Lu Jianjun thought for a moment, and then replied.
"Who? Do I know? ”
As soon as Ye Feng heard that there was a play, he was immediately overjoyed, as long as there was hope for the equipment, it would be easy to say.
"It's your Uncle Chen Lin!"
Lu Jianjun replied softly.
"Uncle Chen!? He can't be an arms dealer, right? ”
Ye Feng exclaimed, he was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that Chen Lin actually had such a huge amount of energy.
"Haha, that's not it, it seems that your father had a friend in Africa who sold arms, and Chen Lin was a member of your father's team back then, so I think Chen Lin may have a way to get in touch!"
