The engine and transmission have made Kawasaki Meijing overjoyed, even if he has just come into contact with the tank, he also understands that the biggest advantage of the tank is speed, why the tank trench can have such a big impact on the tank, isn't it to make the tank unable to move, a simple trench, not only can fall into the tank, but also can make the tank lose speed, the former is just a blocking effect, the latter is really an important reason for the loss of the tank.

The speed of 25 kilometers of American tanks has made Japan think that it is very possible for an armored unit to enter the United States from central Canada through Canada's no man's land, but when the speed rises to 35 kilometers, the speed of the tank can catch up with the horse, or the horse in a short sprint.

Just when Kawasaki Meijing thought that this was already the limit, but this was not the limit, the improvement of pure power was just a foundation, and next, what Zhang Qing had to do was to make a more crazy move, weight reduction, an engine and transmission device, which has made the tank lose 1800 kilograms, it can be said that the weight reduction effect is very amazing, but this is not enough.

In Zhang Qing's crazy modification, he stretched out his hand to the weapon device, reduced some unwanted armor and side armor, but strengthened the frontal armor to a certain extent, forming an armored force slightly stronger than the armored car, but the total weight was reduced from 25 tons to 16 tons, and even the machine guns and members were reduced partially, 3 machine guns were reduced to 1, but the reserve ammunition was increased some, after a series of changes, the speed of this tank increased from 35 kilometers to 40 kilometers, The cruising range is also increasing, in short, it has completely changed from the previous tank, the speed is not much better than that of ordinary cars, but the protection capacity has been reduced to a very low level, in addition to the frontal armor is still retained, in other places, it is an iron sheet of less than 17 mm, at most with a little processing of Chinese technology, the hardness of the surface has been strengthened, to a certain extent, the frontal protection is 30% larger than before, but the side and back, but it has been reduced to the previous 50%, even a little larger caliber machine gun bullets, For example, the Maxim 12.7 mm heavy machine gun could not withstand it, let alone artillery.

In his opinion, the speed of 35 kilometers per hour, the speed of 40 kilometers per hour, or even the limit speed of 45 kilometers per hour, this is not fundamentally different at all, and even found a Chinese engineer and raised objections. Zhang Qing didn't say much to Kawasaki Meijing, but just asked him to take a look at the destroyed tanks, and he would understand after reading it.

Kawasaki Meijing was driven out in a daze, but as a very stubborn person, he carefully went to the abandoned factory, here is actually very busy at this time, engineers from China, some of them are here, they will repair and piece together more tanks from the more seriously damaged tanks, you know, this time with the US army, there are a lot of destroyed tanks, this part of the tank is put here in vain, it is scrap iron, as long as it can be repaired to part of it, will be able to strengthen the armored forces in the future attack on the United States.

It was about a day, and Kawasaki Meijing had already understood Zhang Qing's intentions, as an absolute attack branch, the tank was a forward force when fighting, as long as it was responsible for attacking, not fleeing tanks, they were attacked the most head-on.

In the damage of the tank, there are almost 90% of the hit points in the front and front, and only 10% in the back and other positions, with limited weight, to a certain extent, the strength of the frontal armor is increased, which is conducive to the survival of the tank, as for the speed, this will be the most reliable data when the United States is sneak attacked, an increase of 15 kilometers per hour, more than half of the increase, which will make them take less time in the process.

Kawasaki Meijing understands that with limited armor, the frontal force is strengthened to a certain extent, some less important parts are weakened, and the speed is increased to a certain extent, which is conducive to increasing the combat capability of the entire tank.

Kawasaki Meijing recognized, and the rest of the voice disappeared, after all, this is the troops led by Kawasaki Meijing, he has approved of it, and others can say more, at this moment, for him, it is necessary to train enough personnel, by the way, in the case of the Chinese side modifying a sufficient number of tanks, training, mastering this new tank.

While Japan was preparing for the Sakura Project, the United States was also anxious about this war, and in the previous war, the United States had achieved certain results, but it also paid a huge price. The United States is really a good learner, many staff officers and high-level people, working together, actually really thought of a way, when Japan was actively preparing for the Sakura Plan, the United States also adjusted the same, from the United States to Vancouver trains, a large number of artillery was transported to Juno's front line through here.

In itself, the Americans do not fancy artillery very much, for the defensive line, as long as the number of artillery is enough, this point has been verified by the war in Europe, the European artillery is not much different, at most it is a few kilometers, now, in the face of China's shocking 155 artillery, the United States tanks are at an absolute disadvantage, which is also the fundamental reason why the tank has no way to enter, without artillery suppression, under the premise of passive beating, many tactics can not be used.

Whether it is a bazooka, a tank trench, or some individual weapons against tanks, they basically exchange their lives for their lives, which from this offensive, although the US army suffered heavy losses, but it also annihilated a greater number of Japanese troops, occupied enough territory, and even captured a large number of bazookas, which can prove that it is not that the tanks are not strong, but that the methods they use are wrong.

If the power of the American artillery is the same as that of Japan, or a little worse, then the artillery arranged in the rear can reach the forward position, similar to the two defeats of Delved, perhaps it will not happen, when the artillery conducts artillery reconnaissance on the front, on the premise of not sparing artillery and shells, basically, there is no possibility of tank trench effect. At most, the individual tank trenches can be successfully missed.

In this way, there was no longer a tank trench sinking into hundreds of tanks, and there were many fewer prisoners by the enemy, most of them were destroyed above the battle line, and when such a problem was discovered, the United States had to strengthen its artillery.

Artillery is the most critical, and now the artillery of the US army is almost at an extreme disadvantage, and the Japanese artillery can reach their strategic artillery fire if it is placed more than 8 kilometers in the rear, which is absolutely not good, and it cannot be said that it is completely the same as the Japanese one, a few kilometers less, it is enough, at least it will not be passively beaten.

The U.S. military's long-range strategic artillery research has been going on, on the battleships, the U.S. military has obtained a full set of British naval artillery knowledge, so that the United States has reduced the accumulation of at least 20 years in naval artillery, and the naval artillery itself is the weakest link of the United States, and on the basis of Britain, it has added some things to the United States itself, and the American artillery technology has come out of the blue, surpassing the highest level of Britain, and has also brought about a series of advances in artillery.

However, in order to ensure the combat mission, the War Department formulated a new standard for artillery, and the firing range became a hard indicator, all in accordance with the basic attributes of the Japanese army, such as range.

To put it bluntly, artillery is such a thing, when 15-inch naval guns can be made to make artillery with enough range, this is really not a problem, but the overall weight, much heavier than China's 155, stability and some other characteristics are much worse, if used in sports warfare or marching will be deadly, but in positional warfare, it should be good, as long as these artillery pieces are in place, you can attack the United States.

The productivity of the United States is quite outstanding, after the army has issued the target, especially only the range and power are required, and the rest is not concerned, which is not very difficult for the designer, as long as the barrel is thickened, after thickening in all the places that are needed, the power of the shell can be increased, reaching about 25 kilometers similar to Japan, this range may be a little worse than Japan, and it will not be able to threaten Japan, but for the support of the front, it should be no problem.

If the Americans knew that the maximum firing range was 35-40 km, what would they think, but even if the 155 artillery reached a range of 40 km, in the absence of a computer-aided aiming system, more than 20 km, even if there was a precise area division, it was also a salvo method, but even so, more than 20 km, many subtle changes, plus wind, air and other aspects, it is very difficult to achieve a more accurate degree, This is also the fundamental reason why Japan rarely designs 20 kilometers away.

In this case, the US artillery is passively beaten, but if the US army is raised to 22 km, or even 25 km, under certain circumstances, it will be able to achieve a certain balance of power, at least it will not be passively beaten.

Under the preparation and strong industrial production capacity of the US army, especially after seeing the tight defense of Japan, if it does not want to fill this front with people, it must be supplemented with enough artillery, or the range is at a certain level, and after the technical indicators are issued, it will immediately begin to research and production, the new 155 artillery, In the end, its range is about 22.5 kilometers, but in terms of weight, it is almost more than double that of China, except as a support for the front line, it does not have the role of actual combat, but in Juno's front line, it is very good.
