Chapter 915: It's our tank

Nerfenich Air Force Base, one of the first military bases to lose contact with the outside world, felt that something was wrong with this. After all, it is possible that the communication cable was cut off, because the angry German people outside also need to vent, and there is no shortage of people who know the location of the communication cable, and the telephone line is also broken.www.biquge.info

However, you can't use satellite communication, right? The radio of the base can also travel hundreds of kilometers, but now, these are not available! Satellite communications, there will be no failures at all! Unless it's the satellite that's destroyed! And the radio of the base cannot be unusable, it is subject to strong electromagnetic interference, and it is specially interfered with the frequency band of its own radio!

It seems to be an isolated island, and it has lost any contact with the outside world, but fortunately it is a military base, and there are enough food reserves to trap itself.

No matter how quickly their reinforcements were, they couldn't have arrived right now, so Montel always sensed something was wrong.

And now, which troops are the tanks coming from outside?

"We can already see the outline, it's the M60 tank and the Leopard 1 tank, it's our troops!" At this moment, on the challenger tank outside, the British tank crews saw the outline of the tank moving from the opposite side in the infrared night vision device, and immediately shouted.

Yes, it's your own troops! Look at those M60 tanks, with the logo painted on them, for the American army! And the Leopard 1 tank is also the symbol of the Belgian army!

Sure enough, reinforcements are coming!

When they saw these tanks coming, they had already stopped, and they were ready to rest, and they were ready to gather their strength, and the crowd that would continue to demonstrate tomorrow was alarmed again.

"There are American lackeys again, we can't let them in!"

"yes, you can't let them in!" The people of West Germany, at this moment, are extremely angry! Soon, there were several young lads standing on the road ahead.

"Americans' lackeys! If you want to pass, press it against me! A young West German shouted: "You have occupied our barracks, occupied our military bases, and imprisoned our Minister of Defense!" You're all brutes! ”

"Yes, you brutes! Put our Minister of Defense! ”

There were constantly people standing in the middle of the road, and during the day, they did not do so, and as soon as the American reinforcements came, they rushed in, and after that, they finally came up with this method, organized a human wall! If there are tanks coming again, let them press them over themselves!

At this moment, the tank on the opposite side stopped, and on the turret, the hatch opened, and an equally young lad, came out of it.

"We are not lackeys of the United States! We are the West German Wehrmacht! Get out of the way, and now, we'll rush in and get our people out!" We must rescue our Minister of Defense! The young man on the tank shouted.

Not Americans, not British, not people from other Western European countries! On the tank, it's your own guy! Seeing this scene, the West German people were immediately excited!

Finally waited for your own tank!

"It's our tanks, it's our men who have arrived!"

"yes, get out of the way and let our tanks pass!"

"These British tanks, which were here during the day, are now bombing them!"

"Quick, bomb the tanks of the British!"

"yes, I've got to take a picture and send it to our BBS!"

"Is your internet speed sufficient? I have a scanner at home, go to my house and send it! ”

"Okay, but with my screen name!"

With the continuous discussion, at the same time, a road was dodged in the crowd, and the British armored soldiers on this side were dumbfounded.

How can it be? How so? It wasn't your own reinforcements at all, it was the mutinous German army! Yes, the German army, already mutinied! If they dare to besiege the barracks and turn around, they are already a mutiny!

"Quick, call the regimental commander, ask for fire, ask for fire!" One by one, the tank soldiers shouted loudly, but unfortunately, there was a stabbing sound from the earphones, and the radio interference was very serious, so they could only rely on the soldiers guarding the back to contact the tower with the internal telephone.

However, the only thing that makes them happy is that their Challenger tank, when facing the opposite M60 tank and Leopard 1 tank, there is still no pressure.

After all, the tanks on the opposite side are equipped with NATO-standard 105-mm tank guns, and this tank gun was originally developed and developed by the British.

The L7 105mm rifled tank gun was developed by the British Royal Arsenal in the 60s to resist the 52 times the diameter rifled anti-tank gun developed by the powerful T-54/55 armored cluster of the Soviet Red Army and the D-10T 100mm tank gun assembled by it.

This kind of tank has high chamber pressure, good accuracy, muzzle velocity and power much higher than the tank guns in service at that time, and can penetrate two side-by-side T-54, so it is designated as the NATO main battle tank standard artillery, which is mass-produced, and many NATO countries have introduced patented production.

Even new tanks, such as the American M1, an early production model, are still equipped with 105 mm tank guns.

However, the real armor-piercing ability of this tank gun depends on its ammunition. The original M735 tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile was capable of penetrating 150/60 degree homogeneous steel or NATO three-layer heavy targets at a distance of 2,000 meters. This armor-piercing ability just pierced through these early models of T64/72/64A/72A.

Later, the United States developed a new depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile M833, which is conservatively estimated to be able to penetrate 420mm armor at 60 degrees at a distance of 2000m. Equivalent to 210mm/60 degrees. And the real performance is also kept secret until the hereafter.

Of course, the United States only uses such shells for its own use, not for export.

And now, the German army on the opposite side, even if it really uses the latest American depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, it is impossible to destroy their own tanks, after all, their own tanks are equipped with the most advanced Chobham armor!

Chobham armor, developed in 76 by the Department of Defense Vehicle Engineering Bureau in Chobham Town, is also the pride of the British armored corps!

It is composed of several layers of ceramic blocks sandwiched between the steel armor plate, the outer armor plate is made of high-strength steel, and the ceramic plate is inserted between the steel armor plates one by one in the way of building the wall, so that the expansion of the outer metal layer and the middle ceramic layer is consistent, and the ceramic layer lining is avoided.

Ceramic is a material with high hardness and low toughness, and when armor-piercing ammunition passes through this material, it consumes a lot of energy, thus hindering the passage of armor-piercing bullets.

Historically, the protection of the "Chief" tank with Chobham armor in the early days has increased from more than 300 mm to more than 550 mm, and the defense against armor-piercing shells has increased to about 450 mm. The Chobham armor on the late-production Challenger I tank has been improved to further enhance its protection. For example, the frontal protection capability of the "Challenger I", which later participated in the Gulf War, has been increased to the ability to withstand 750 mm armor-piercing shells!

The current Challenger tank is fully capable of blocking the attack of the 105mm tank gun head-on, and at the same time, the 120mm tank gun of the Challenger tank can easily penetrate the opponent! (To be continued.) )
