440: The most rudimentary tank in the world
"! How can I feel so unworthy for our Russian counterparts? After getting off the tank, Ansan sighed melancholy and shook his head helplessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I think so too, you said that they are all tank soldiers, why is the gap so big?" Sun Bing glanced at the 313 tank behind him, and then at the Russian tank opposite, and muttered secretly in his heart, this is also called a tank? Fooling people, right?
Zhu Kuan stepped forward and carefully probed the Russian army's 'tank', now he can only add quotation marks to describe the word tank, for the Russian army, this is indeed a tank, but for the Royal Army, the performance of this tank is even inferior to the armored reconnaissance vehicle, in addition to the firepower of the armored car, any other aspects, including mobility, crew protection, communications, etc., all means can not be compared with armored vehicles.
This is a simple car, a 'tank' that has been temporarily modified after modification.
An ordinary car, in the periphery and body part of the car to add a circle of about twenty millimeters thick steel plates, yes, is a steel plate, the most ordinary steel plate, or even a qualified steel plate is another matter, anyway, it can never be called armor.
You can feel the roughness of this tank just from the appearance, the weld marks are not decorated, and it is not even the kind of seamless welding, how smart should the Russians be? To come up with such a welding method? Bang bang, about every one or twenty centimeters or so, weld on a distance of about three or four centimeters long, and then that's it?
Through the gap, you can even see the scenery on the other side.
The rear of the tank was modified with a body-type device containing some shells, and the co-pilot was cordoned off to serve as a chassis for the tank gun, with two other areas behind the driver and co-pilot.
The artillery is the most common 37mm infantry guns, and they are also welded to the hull, which becomes a complete set of tank guns, and the design of this tank is extremely unreasonable, if the firing angle is slightly lower, it may even hit itself directly.
There is no design for a coaxial machine gun, but looking at the position in the back, looking at the number of corpses on the ground, it is basically possible to determine that the crew of this tank is five people, a driver, a main gunner, a deputy gunner, two riflemen, responsible for providing cover for the tank, or sniping the enemy who wants to get close to the tank.
This improvised 'tank' is enough for ordinary infantry, or infantry without heavy firepower, but to be honest, it's ****** strange to put this tank on the battlefield.
If the gun were to be changed to a heavy machine gun, then it might be easier to accept. And it is clear that the tank has broken down, and they are working on repairs here, which also proves that the Russians are not only lacking in concept and creativity in making tanks, but also far from being skilled in the automobile manufacturing industry.
And after adding so many things, the weight of the entire car body will also increase dramatically, and instead, the maneuverability of the vehicle will be weakened.
Hushenjia is about 250 kilometers away from Ulan-Ude, counting the winding roads, it is about 350 kilometers, although I don't know if these three tanks are the ones that appeared in Hushenjia at that time, but if it is them, then they can only ask the sky speechlessly.
It's been almost a month to get here? Although it is not certain that they have been retreating, looking at the tools on the ground, you can probably guess that these tanks are often in trouble.
Just like their 313 tank, although there is also a toolbox at the rear of the car, all the tools there are simple tools, hammer wrenches or something, which can be used for simple maintenance self-inspection, and some big problems still have to be directly handed over to the division logistics department to repair, and only there can you see a complete set of maintenance tools.
"Let's report the situation here, the Russian tank that brought us a sense of mystery for a month, I didn't expect it to be like this, it's really disappointing." Zhu Kuan said to the infantry, and then checked the front of the 313 tank, and found that the place where it was hit before was only a little concave, and then there were some traces of burning, but other than that, the 313 tank was no different.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Kuan half-jokingly said: "By the way, I can also report that the Russian artillery can't penetrate our frontal armor, and it can't even produce any threat of killing, but if it is hit, the tank crew still feels very cool, if anyone wants to experience it, you can go to them." ”
"Hey, I don't know what these people are trying to do? If you can't beat us, it's purely to send us to death, so it's better to surrender directly to our Chinese empire, at least you can try to be stable. An infantryman shook his head with a wry smile, before going to the battlefield, he thought about how difficult this war would be, whether there would be many, many deaths, whether he would be the one who died.
But after going to the battlefield, he found that the battlefield was not as cruel as he was at all, and here, they were the masters of the battlefield, and the Russians could not pose much threat to them at all.
Under the leadership of the Panzer Division, the First Army marched all the way, and now basically controls the southern half of the entire Russian Far East, the northern half is not in the plan to capture for the time being, there are not many inhabitants there, and even hundreds of miles are no-man's land, full of primeval forests, who will have nothing to do and send a large number of troops to attack there?
For the Chinese, as long as they take the relatively densely populated southern half, then it is only a matter of time before they take the northern half.
"The war will only get harder and harder, think about the time when the war first started, although the Russian army was still relatively complete at that time and had more troops, but at that time we were still able to advance quickly, and the Russian army could not even bring us any decent casualties.
But what about now? It's a bit of a quadruple thing, but before that, can you think that the Russians would have had tanks so quickly? While it still doesn't pose any threat to our tanks, at least they have the ability to destroy our reconnaissance vehicles.
This is only three or four months, and who can guarantee that in three or four months, the Russians will not have a real tank? Moreover, the size of Russia's territory has long exceeded our imagination, and at the current pace, our desire to end the fighting before winter is likely to be frustrated.
Although the First Army was stationed in the northeast, the winter environment was similar to that of Russia, and they had long been accustomed to it. But what about the Second Army? Their quarters are at least one or twenty degrees warmer in the winter.
Don't look at how fast we are advancing now, when winter comes, it is even possible to lose hundreds of miles of territory in a day, the real test for us is not how fast we advance now, how many enemies we have eliminated, but how to pick up a gun to resist the counterattack of the Russians when we can't even stretch out our hands after winter. Zhu Kuan said earnestly.
Before the appearance of the Russians' tanks, he did not pay too much attention to the Russians, but in this month, Zhu Kuan also thought a lot, although now on the surface it seems that the war is getting better and better, which is also the intuitive feeling of many soldiers, but in fact? And who realizes that the really hard battle is coming soon?
They started the war in March, and now it's the middle of June, and it's basically less than three months away, and it's going to be winter, when the sky is snowing, and the soldiers can't stretch out in the cold, how should this battle be fought?
Zhu Kuan's words made everyone fall silent, because what he said was very reasonable, since the army began to implement cultural learning, soldiers have also found that their comprehension ability has risen in a straight line, and now they are more willing to listen to those reasonable words and rational analysis than before.
I remembered that when I first came here, especially their armored division, because it was directly from Luoyang to the northeast, many soldiers along the way suffered from colds, until the beginning of the war, there were still people who continued to fall ill, until the temperature rose, and the situation did not improve.
Even if they put on thick cotton clothes, it still has no effect, they don't adapt to the environment here, this is not a simple cotton clothes can be solved, perhaps, after this winter, this time next year, they will really adapt to it.
But according to what Zhu Kuan said, how many of these people here will be able to survive this winter? How fierce is the counterattack of the Russian army? No one knows, but now that everyone knows, it will definitely not be an easy thing to do.
"Okay, don't talk about this kind of sad topic, we are soldiers, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, it doesn't matter if he fights back fiercely or not, just do our things well." Sun Tian, the commander of the infantry company, came over with a telegram and immediately looked at Zhu Kuan: "The above orders you and your car crew to return to Chita immediately with this Russian tank, and we will be separated here." ”
"What about Irica? If there are still Russian tanks there, and you don't have anti-tank equipment in your hands, how can you fight them then? Zhu Kuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
Their mission was to cooperate with the infantry company to occupy the small town of Irica, clear the enemy there, and wait for the large army to come. In fact, the large army is not far from them, even if they can't occupy Irica within the specified time, at most one day, the large army behind will catch up, and they will still be able to occupy Irica at that time.
But in that case, what will the casualties of the infantry company look like? Zhu Kuan couldn't understand why the above made such a decision?
"The 314 car crew will come to take over your mission, I just contacted them, they are already on their way, they will arrive in about two hours, our mission is delayed, you don't have to worry about us." Sun Tian said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
