Originally, Lu Qiang had a base, and the 59 produced in large quantities were all high-precision quality, and there was no need to reassemble the assembly line and produce 59 manually. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the 59 produced by the system are all formed, and it is difficult to change them, so Lu Qiang decided not to use the 59 produced by the base, but to build an assembly line, so that the transformation process of 59 production is greatly reduced, the parts produced can be assembled, and the cost of maintenance is also greatly reduced. Because of the assembly line, the parts of the tank can be universal, which is convenient for DIY.

The 59 changes produced by the assembly line are mainly 59-1 and 59-2, and the 59-3 is only the production of fewer vehicles, because the appearance is more cool, but its essence is similar to that of 59-2, but it looks a little better, and the manufacturing cost is a little more expensive than -2, so the army is mainly equipped with -1 and -2, -3 ready to be sold as an outsource.

As for the large number of 59 prototypes installed in the army, they were slowly replaced, and the produced ones were piled up in warehouses first.

The assembly line method is very similar to the production method of the M4 tank of the U.S. military at the beginning, when the U.S. military gave the list of M4 tanks to the major automobile manufacturers in the United States, and these automobile manufacturers got the drawings, and then let the following manufacturers produce various parts, and then assemble them in a unified manner.

The M4 in World War II was mediocre and didn't have anything outstanding about it, the only thing to praise was that its parts were universal, easy to maintain, and could be mass-produced.

However, the 75mm gun of this thing had no effect on German tanks at all, mainly because of the operational thinking of the US military.

In their thinking, the main role of the tank is not to fight the tank, but to deal with targets other than the tank.

And the task of hitting the enemy's tanks is done by anti-tank destroyers, so 80% of the ammunition loaded with the M4 is high-explosive shells, and the remaining 20% or so are armor-piercing shells, or even less.

As soon as it stepped into the North African battlefield, the main enemy of the U.S. M4 was the Italian army, and the thin-skinned tanks of the Italian army, and the 75mm guns of the M4 in the face of the U.S. army, were all goods that could be worn with one shot.

But then the Germans came, the situation immediately reversed, in the face of the German zoo, the M4 was knocked out one by one, and because of the position of the ammunition rack, a cannon can lift the turret, and it is easy to catch fire, the American GI used "Sherman lighter" to describe, with the help of a famous lighter advertising slogan in the United States at that time: a hit, not a hit.

Although in the face of the German zoo, Sherman is so overwhelmed, but I have to say that this tank is indeed convenient for rioters, but Xie Mantou can only be used as an infantry support tank, as for anti-tank, the US army is now developing a new tank, which is the blueprint given to them by Lu Qiang.

At the same time, a batch of 59 purchased by the US military was also sent to the African battlefield, and a 59 tiger-style drama is about to be staged.

The U.S. military purchased 100 59 tanks, and they had a lot of money, and with a wave of their hand, a lot of gold fell into Lu Qiang's pocket, and these 100 tanks, including some parts and ammunition, were loaded onto the ship and then shipped directly to Africa.

After Africa got off the ship, it immediately made people proficient in tanks, but the 59 tank body was low, and it was not easy for the tall and strong American soldiers to get in, even if they got in, it was not comfortable to nest in it, and they didn't want to be as tall as the steamed buns, and the space inside was big.

As a last resort, the U.S. military had to select shorter people from the army to drive 59 tanks.

"Law ... Gram! An American GI pulled the 59's joystick hard, but the tank only slowly turned a little.

"This one is too difficult to wrench, too laborious." The U.S. military pilot climbed out of the cockpit, grumbling as he crawled.

"It's very laborious, it's a lot more difficult than our tank, I guess it has something to do with its own weight, look at its sleek head, I heard that it's 20cm thick." The commander sticks his head out of the turret.

"York, stop complaining, let's practice, we only have a week." The gunner also poked his head out and said.

"But it's hard to turn." The driver was still complaining.

"Look at the No. 4 car, how smooth it is, why don't you ask their driver." The commander pointed to a slippery 59 tank running in the open field not far next door and proposed.

"Okay!" Although it was very upset, I still went to ask.

The 59 tank, used by the U.S. military as a destroyer, has a 100mm main gun, which can easily penetrate the front of the Tiger, while the short 88 gun of the Tiger is difficult to penetrate the front of the 59.

The long 88 Tiger equipped by Germany is on the Eastern Front, and it fights hard with the IS tanks of the Mao Bear family, and the Tiger in North Africa is still a short 88 gun, and there is not even a Tiger King. In North Africa, the German army's tanks are mainly the No. 3 tank, which is large and used to support the infantry, followed by self-propelled guns, anti-tank guns, infantry support fighting vehicles, etc., which are modified from the chassis of the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks, and finally the Tiger tank, after all, the Tiger process is more troublesome, in the whole North Africa, there are a total of 210 Tiger tanks, which are like the Eastern Front Mao Xiong's family, there are 500 Tiger in the past, and there are more than 100 King Tiger tanks.

In just one week of training, the intensity is relatively high, which makes these young master soldiers a little unbearable, after all, time is running out, and they must step up their training time.

100 59 vehicles, except for 10 as samples, the remaining 90 were painted in desert yellow paint and drove into battle, but these tanks existed as a killer weapon, ready to give the German tanks a hammer.

The sky was full of yellow sand, and a tank squad drove slowly in the sand.

At a glance, the gray armor makes it immediately clear whose tank it is, only German tanks are painted so gray, it looks thick and metallic.

In this squad, there are three No. 3 tanks and seven Tiger tanks, and the No. 3 tank is used as an infantry support tank, which is now rarely equipped with armored units, and is usually used as a support and cover in the armored forces.

The wind and sand are too big, and the impact on the Tiger tank is not small, after all, the Tiger process is relatively high, and the precision of the parts is high.

"Stop moving forward and wait for the wind and sand to subside before walking." The captain of the flag car at the head shouted over the radio that he was worried about the wear and tear of the wind and sand on the tank, and broke down halfway through.

After receiving the captain's order, the convoy stopped and stopped steadily in the wind and sand.

More than 20 kilometers away from them, 20 disguised 59 cars were lying there quietly, also preparing to wait for the wind and sand to be less before leaving, although with the rough craftsmanship of 59, there is no need to worry about the wind and sand here, but out of caution, the American GIs still stopped and waited.
