"THE TANK USES THE SAME TROLLEY SUSPENSION SYSTEM AS THE VICS TANK, AND THE MAIN FIREPOWER IS ONE 47MM GUN, 80 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION, AND IT IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH TWO 79 MACHINE GUNS. It can carry from 5000 to 7000 rounds of machine gun ammunition. HOWEVER, IT IS A PITY THAT THE VICKERS 47MM TANK GUN COULD ORIGINALLY FIRE ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS AND HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SHELLS, AND WHEN USING ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS, IT CAN PENETRATE 25MM STEEL PLATES AT A DISTANCE OF 500 METERS, WHICH MEANS THAT IT CAN PENETRATE ANY KIND OF TANK IN THE WORLD AT THIS DISTANCE, BUT THERE IS NO TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS IN THE NORTHWEST. The ammunition used had to be purchased from Vickers, and Germany may have had the technology to make such shells, but there is not yet sufficient information. In order to save costs, we are now producing relatively simple high-explosive shells. The performance is slightly weaker, and it is enough to meet the needs of the immediate war in a short time. ALTHOUGH THE PERFORMANCE IS MORE ADVANCED THAN THE VICKERS 6-TON TANK, DUE TO THE INCREASE IN WEIGHT, THE FRONTAL ARMOR IS 5MM THICKER, AND THE SIDE ARMOR IS 3MM THICKER, ABANDONING THE DESIGN OF THE TWO-MAN TURRET, BUT THE OPPONENT ALSO HAS THE ABILITY TO PENETRATE THE AVENGERS. ”

Speaking of which, Tang Shijian said with regret that he couldn't let this tank attack in the strongest state, which was a bit regrettable after all. In fact, the Avenger's attack power is actually inferior to that of the Vickers 6-ton tank with armor-piercing shells.

"I'll think about the armor-piercing bullet again." Jiang Li dragged his chin and said, it is already good for the northwest to be able to make high-explosive bombs and grenades at this time, and it is obviously a bit ambitious to be able to do everything in such a short period of time. "Have you mastered the technology of this tank?"

"Although the idea of rebuilding and designing the tank is basically from German technicians, our technicians are still in apprenticeship. But this Avenger tank production technology has been completely mastered by our side. With this valuable experience accumulation. After the technicians and engineers of the tank research institute accumulated a certain amount of experience on the production line. It is also possible to learn while developing a new tank independently. ”

Although I don't want to think about the bad side, there are some things that don't happen if you are an ostrich. After thoroughly understanding the technology of the Vickers tank, Germany's enthusiasm for tank research and development cooperation at least was only the funds provided by the northwest, and with Hitler's increased investment in tanks when he came to power, the heat will only get lower and lower, including in other aspects. Jiang Li thought of this a long time ago, and then thought of the tiger style. The role of the King Tiger tank, armor-piercing projectiles, I am afraid, also has an irreplaceable role. Although high-explosive shells were enough for the Japanese Douding tanks, Jiang Li's imaginary enemy was never the Japanese Army, but the Soviet Union from the north, and Stalin, as a dictator, could hardly accept that Outer Mongolia was controlled by the Republic of China, and then threatened the Soviet Union's vital Northwest Railway. Although the Soviet Union made many mistakes in World War II, it was also outstanding for being able to hold out under the German aircraft artillery. At least the Soviet tank torrent may not be qualitatively comparable to the Tiger and King Tiger tanks, but considering that the production efficiency and comprehensive performance are not inferior to the German army too much, in the late stage of the war. The gap between the two sides in weapons has been narrowed without limits, even on fighter jets. The Soviet Union may not have outdone the Germans as the history books do, after all, history is written by the victorious side. But at least it reached a level close to parity with the German army, and there was no generational difference.

Therefore, the Soviet Union is Jiang Li's first imaginary enemy. The Japanese army, given its war potential, was really just a whetstone for the Republic of China.

"It's good to have mastered the production technology." Jiang Li nodded and agreed with the work of the Tank Research Institute at this time, after all, at this time, the Vickers tank, the T26 that the Soviet Union was about to enter service, or the Avenger in the northwest in front of him, were all standing on the same level. With the help of the Germans, the Republic of China did not lag much behind the Soviet Union in the study of tanks at this time.

"This, this is really a tank produced by the Northwest itself?" Compared with Jiang Li's calmness, Tian Jianlong, Sun Liren, Li Du, Ma Zhanshan and others all had a hint of tremor in their voices. Sun Liren is a returnee military student, and Tian Jianlong, Li Du, and Ma Zhanshan have all witnessed the power of tanks on the battlefield. Also ate the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles suffered a lot of losses. No one understands better than them the significance of the Northwest's own tanks.

"If you are fake, the efforts of the Tank Research Institute are no easier than fighting a battle. By the time the Avengers stepped off the production line, none of the entire research institute had more than 6 hours of rest per day. Jiang Li said.

Hearing Jiang Li's affirmation of the Tank Research Institute, Tang Shijian's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, and those who were not engaged in research did not understand the hardships and efforts during the period. The Northwest was completely blank for the production of tanks before, and it also played the role of an apprentice in the cooperation with the Germans, but from a blank to master the full set of production technology of the Avengers, the efforts and sweat of those technicians and engineers were unimaginable to ordinary people. In the case that the German technicians have solved the problem, they still have to tackle key problems without sleep and food, and strive to thoroughly understand every technology, so Tang Shijian dared to say in front of Jiang Li that the Northwest had mastered the full set of production technology of the Avengers. In such a short period of time, it has to be said that it is a miracle.

"Commander, even if it was the previous Battle of Fengtian, the Songhu War of Resistance and the Great Wall War of Resistance, the lowly post still complained about the commander's premature withdrawal from Mukden that led to the premature fall of the Northeast, but until now, the lowly post can appreciate the commander's good intentions. The commander was right when he said that the retreat when necessary was not due to cowardice, but for a better counterattack. Ma Zhanshan said with an excited face, "Since the commander withdrew from Mukden, I don't know how many brothers have fallen under the Japanese army's Iron King, and how many battles have seen the anti-Japanese army gain the upper hand, because the appearance of this weapon of the Japanese army turned victory into defeat." With this thing, those Iron Kings of the Japanese army can no longer show off their might like before. ”

"The commander's efforts are not only tanks, the new fighters in the northwest have also replaced the previously imported Fokker D16, in the Great Wall War of Resistance, the air force in the northwest is on par with the Japanese army, otherwise it is impossible to win a great victory in Luowenyu." Wang Tiehan added next to him, not afraid of not knowing the goods, afraid of comparing goods, Wang Tiehan personally led an army of troops to attack the Great Wall defense line, and after seeing Xu Tingyao's 17th Army sent by Nanjing, he felt more deeply Jiang Li's efforts for the 15th Route Army, whether it was the Air Force or ground artillery, these temporary 1st Army with the hard work of the 15th Route Army were the result of Jiang Lidong's patchwork and pulling. If there were no artillery and planes sufficient to compete with the Japanese army, the 1st Army would have surrounded a Japanese brigade in Luowenyu and beat it indiscriminately. (To be continued.) )
