Chapter 162, IS-3 Goes Home
Since he was cheated by his mother, Lu Qiang's life has been moistened, and he comes to relax happily from time to time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bearded man of the Mao Bear family had a sad face, and the German attack was becoming more and more sharp, and they were already about to hit Moscow.
Until one day, a man claiming to be from Hanhe Arms Company approached them and said that he wanted to sell them a tank that could withstand German tanks.
In an instant, the bearded man's eyes lit up, and they kept looking for a tank that could resist the German tank, but it had been ineffective, KV-1, -2, and -3 were beaten by the big meow, and the latest IS tank named after him, even if the front was 120mm thick, could not stop the footsteps of the big meow, let alone the king of the meow.
The appearance of the IS-3 gave the bearded man hope, judging from the drawings, some engineers believe that this tank can withstand the German Meow, but it still needs to pass the test.
As for how to transport IS-3 to Mao Xiong's house, the Jews who negotiated with Mao Xiong directly said that it was shipped from China. The woolly bears did not suspect that the tank was Chinese, thinking that the Hanhe company had transported it to China from other places and then transported it to their homes. Mao Xiong did not believe that China could build such a tank.
The first batch of ten IS-3 tanks were quietly transported by train to Beiping, and then let people run out of China, but this section of the road is not easy to walk, at the speed of IS-3, it will take several days to run, and there is also a maintenance team of two fuel tankers to prevent the tank from breaking down and running out of fuel and other accidents. Fortunately, it is a high-quality product produced by the department, and if you don't let the light into the woolly bear's house, you don't know how much to anchor.
After entering Siberia, they were taken over by the woolly bears, who transported the tanks to the Trans-Siberian Railway, took the train to Kirov, and did not directly transport them to Moscow, because Germany was getting closer and closer to Moscow, and now Moscow was not safe, and the bearded man was also preparing to evacuate.
"Binge Eating Binge Eating Binge Eating ~~~" In the dead of night, the sound of the train is far away, but for the people around it, it is already accustomed to it.
Now it was a special train, and behind the train was something wrapped in canvas, tightly wrapped, and from the outside, it should be a tank, and the thick and long barrel was backwards, and it was very tightly wrapped, but it was still obvious.
When the tanks arrived in Kirov, they disembarked the train and drove around the residential area towards a military base on the outskirts of the city.
There is no way to test it at night, and it will have to wait until tomorrow to test it, although many Maozi looked at these tanks that they had never seen in surprise, but they still chose not to ask too much, but they muttered in private.
"Where did this tank come from? Haven't seen it? ”
"I guess it's the latest manufacturing, but the barrel of that cannon is so thick, it's a 122mm gun, right?"
"I remember that the IS tank was equipped with a 122mm gun?"
"I guess it's also an IS tank, right? Their load-bearing wheels are all the same, and the artillery is about the same. ”
"I heard that the IS tanks were not ideal for fighting on the front line, and everything that was sent to them was destroyed, but it didn't destroy many German tanks."
"Damn German devils, huh!"
"Alright, Evakov, stop complaining, and besides, everyone should stop talking, it's not good to be discovered."
。。。。。。
The next day, 10 IS-3 tanks shone metallicly in the morning light, and the bearded man took the opportunity to leave Moscow and came to Kirov to see what was going on with their tanks.
From the point of view of the territory, this is very familiar with the IS tank they are using now, and some people even suspect that it was copied from their IS tank. But their IS tanks have only been out for a long time, and it is impossible for anyone to copy a batch so quickly. And it seems to be better, she doesn't believe it.
Let's take a look at the IS-3 first, compared with IS, its front is only 110mm, but the 61-degree tilt angle gives it 202mm bulletproof ability, plus the plough edge armor, and there are spare tracks hanging on both sides, and the protection ability is rising. And because it is a large inclination, the protection of kinetic energy bullets in the current period far exceeds this value. What really sets it apart from the rest is its overall enhancement of side and rear protection. Until now, the IS-3's armor weight to combat weight ratio was the highest of any tank in the world, which is evident in its superior protection performance.
Although the protection is high, its main gun is still still the Egg 25 (D-25T), and it is difficult to penetrate the Tiger King in the front, and even a little farther away, even the modified Tiger cannot penetrate it.
Mao Xiong does not have any dissatisfaction with this egg 25 pain, this cannon can be used with their D-25T cannon shells, no matter what, this is all paper data, come and test it with live ammunition.
The test used an 88 long-barreled tank gun captured from the Germans, and they were lucky enough to get a destroyed Tiger type, and they also thought about finding a way to deal with the enemy by studying the Tiger type, but unfortunately their industry was too rough, not as fine as Germany, and the reverse engineering failed, although the tank was dismantled, but the tank gun they still preserved, just to test the protection ability of the tank manufactured in the future.
This long 88 was taken out, and the shooting started at 1000 meters, gradually pushing closer until it broke through.
At a distance of 1000 meters, using hard-core armor-piercing shells, shooting at the IS-3.
Because this is a tank gun, the way the gun is fired is using a trigger. The 88 gun aimed straight at the IS-3 at a distance of 1,000 meters, and the operator pulled the trigger, the muzzle of the gun spewed bright flames, and the shells flew towards the front of the IS-3 at great speed.
The hard-core armor-piercing projectile is different from the shell-out armor-piercing projectile, although it is also not loaded with gunpowder, relying on the kinetic energy of the launch to penetrate the target, and a layer of outer material is also attached around the projectile to make it reach the caliber of the gun barrel, the difference is that its outer material is made as a whole with the hard core, and it can fall off like the shell-out armor-piercing projectile. When hitting the armor, the outer material is piled up on the surface of the armor like dough and stops quickly, transferring kinetic energy to the hard core, which is not the arrow-shaped long rod we are familiar with, but a small long projectile.
Because the hard-core armor-piercing bullet is very short and thick, it is attenuated greatly, and the farther the distance, the more ruthless the attenuation, and secondly, it is easy to ricochet because of this shape. Because the body of the armor-piercing core is very small, the damage effect after penetration is not good.
At a distance of 1000 meters, the power of hard-core armor-piercing bullets is attenuated very strongly, and it is generally better to use armor-piercing bullets at long distances, and it is more appropriate to use hard-core armor-piercing bullets at close range. (To be continued.) )
