The Germans were strong in the Tiger and King Tigers, at least if it was against the Russians, at least two or three at a time. And that's just the combat power of a single bike, and if it's two Tiger or Tiger King, this number can even be doubled.

However, for the Wehrmacht, the German Tiger and Tiger King were not very difficult opponents to deal with.

First of all, the 88mm gun of the Tiger has only 56 times the diameter, which is the so-called 88mm Kwk36L/56 tank gun. This level of tank artillery is still no problem against the ZT-40, after all, the ZT-40 has only 120 mm of frontal armor even for the turret, and only 100 mm for the frontal armor of the hull.

If it is at a distance of 2000 meters, as long as it can hit, it is not impossible to break through.

Of course, it is also a question whether it can be hit, after all, it is not easy to hit the opponent in the maneuver at a distance of 2000 meters. In this era, it is estimated that only the German armored forces and the Chinese armored troops can do it, and the Russians―――――― their sighting system and artillery accuracy are a little too bad...

Therefore, the Tiger, which was extremely imposing in World War II, could only pose a threat to the medium-sized ZT-40. Of course, if it is at a close range, it is not impossible to penetrate the ZT-41, as long as the Tiger can survive to that distance.

Compared to the Tiger style, the Tiger King is a bit more threatening.

The 88-mm KwK4371 double-diameter gun, although inferior to the T-41's 105-mm L/68x-diameter gun, is not impossible to threaten the ZT-41 at a distance of 2000 meters. After all, a tank doesn't just have a turret, the hull is also a part of the hull that can be hit.

Compared to the 200 mm thick turret frontal armor, the 150 mm armor of the hull was obviously much weaker. And although Germany lacks tungsten and other resources, this does not mean that Germany does not have tungsten.

At least in this era, even without China, Germany can still obtain tungsten from Spain, Portugal and Japan, so tungsten core bullets are still somewhat in the hands of the Germans.

As for the 75-mm cannon of the Leopard, just look at the 70 times the diameter of the 75-mm gun, and you can imagine how powerful this gun really is.

For artillery, caliber is indeed a very important criterion, but in many cases it is not possible to look at the caliber alone. In many cases, the caliber of the gun is also important, especially for tank guns.

The double diameter is a reference to a tubular firearm, most commonly representing the ratio of the barrel length of the gun to the caliber, both of which are important numbers for showing artillery and one of the important bases for the classification of artillery.

The doubling diameter is a unitless number that, together with the caliber, indicates the basic size of the artillery. The multiple diameter is the nearest integer after dividing the length of the barrel by the muzzle diameter. On the label, it will appear with the English letter L, which means length. For example, if a 40 mm/70 or a 40 mm/L70 is a 70 at the back, the length of the barrel is about 70 times the caliber of the gun.

Because the longer the warhead of a tubular gun is affected by the gas generated by the propellant in the barrel, the higher the muzzle velocity, the greater the energy, and the trajectory is more flattened, which also has a positive impact on the firing range, so theoretically, the longer the length of the barrel, the better. When comparing the power of two guns of the same caliber, the magnitude of the multiple diameter is a good reference. The larger the doubling diameter, the longer the barrel.

In addition to distinguishing according to the type of artillery used, such as anti-aircraft guns or naval guns, another common way to classify artillery is to deal with it in terms of multipliers.

A magnitude of 45 or more is a cannon, a howitzer of a gauge of 39 or less, a howitzer of a gauge between 45 and 39, and a mortar of a gauge of 10 or less. However, this classification method is more suitable for artillery before World War II, most of the modern mortars are more than 10 times the diameter, and there are not a few people who call howitzers more than 45 times the diameter of artillery, and the terms cannon and howitzer are gradually omitted and are called howitzers. …,

And the guns that tanks usually use, that is, cannons―――――― howitzers usually shoot in a curve, and obviously tanks cannot fight like this. If you really choose a howitzer as a weapon, to be honest, it is difficult to say whether you can hit the opponent or not.

Therefore, the 75 mm KwK42L/70 tank gun equipped with the Leopard can be called extremely strong among tank guns of the same caliber.

However, the greatest threat to Li Mo is the smallest number of hunting tigers...

128 mm gun, plus 250 mm thick frontal armor.

Hiding in a safer position and covering the fire of the teammates in front of them, these hunting tigers are like death. Basically, as long as it's hit by them, even if you don't die, it's estimated that half a life will be removed.

Fortunately, the rate of fire of the 128mm gun was relatively slow, only 5 rounds a minute, and with a small number, it did not bring a devastating blow to Li Mo's team.

However, in Li Mo's opinion, if he continued to let them go like this, it was estimated that it would not take much time before he was wiped out.

"Sweet and cool..."

Looking at Gan Liang, who was ordered to leave, Li Mo said silently in his heart.

"To succeed!!"

――――――――――――――――――――

The power of the Tiger Hunter is impressive, after all, even if the most heavily armored ZT-41 is hit by the Tiger Hunter's 128-mm gun, it will have to lose half a life, and it is even very likely that it will be sent to the sky by the opponent.

Therefore, almost all the people on Li Mo's side paid attention to the movements of the tiger hunt.

However, for Gan Liang and others, the deterrent effect of tiger hunting is not so great.

Because almost all the tanks present have the ability to penetrate the ZT-40, it doesn't really make a difference whether the opponent is a Tiger Hunter or a Tiger Hunter. Even an opponent with poor mobility like Tiger Hunting is not so deterrent to Gan Liang and others.

Therefore, after receiving Li Mo's order, Gan Liang drove half a company of ZT-40s from the battle group around the rear of the Tiger Hunting and other vehicles from a distance.

Because this battle group was at the time of intense competition, the Germans did not notice the movements of Gan Liang and others.

However, the Germans are not blind creatures after all, so it didn't take long for them to realize that the number of opponents in front of them seemed to be a little smaller, and at the same time, it seemed that there were people coming behind them...

"Do you want to sneak attack..."

Noticing this, the German officer sneered.

Soon, a number of Leopards and Tigers returned from the front line, and together with the officers, the tanks of the regimental headquarters, they guarded against possible enemy attacks.

The movements of the Germans are not small, not to mention that there are behemoths like the Tiger type, so soon Gan Liang understood that his own movements were exposed.

"Battalion commander, are you still on it?".

Looking at the situation ahead, the driver of the tank where Gan Liang was located looked up and asked.

"It's already come to this point, how can you not go on..."

Gritting his teeth, Gan Liang said.

The cool half of the company was soon in motion, and all the tanks accelerated to maximum speed, and soon the Germans spotted the opponents behind them who were heading towards them at top speed.

"Are you coming..."

Orders from officers are not needed, the Germans have already begun ...

Maybe Gan Liang was lucky, none of the first few guns hit, but when one of Gan Liang's subordinates was moving, a shell actually hit the opponent, which was like a miracle.

You must know that in World War II, there was no fire control system, and the tank fired while on the move, which was almost no different from square fireworks. Now, to be able to hit the target and penetrate the Tiger tank while on the march is undoubtedly a miracle.

"It's a good sign..."

Thinking so, Gan Liang continued to order to rush in the direction of the tiger hunt. …,

At the same time, perhaps the success of his companions gave him a lot of encouragement, and Ganliang's subordinates, including the gunners of Ganliang's tank, also learned to fire on the move. It's a pity that they don't seem to have such good luck, so it's really about the same as setting off fireworks, but fortunately, the ZT-40 has as many ammunition as a jiazi, and there is no need to worry about running out of ammunition when the real battle is going on...

――――――――――――――――――――

The Germans also seemed to be startled by the shell, but they soon reacted. Soon, the counterattack began.

After several rounds of shelling, soon a shell hit a ZT-40, but fortunately the shell only hit the tracks of the tank, and after blowing the tracks off, did not cause too much damage to the tank itself.

After discovering this, the commander and driver of the tank also hurriedly jumped out of the tank and began to carry out simple repairs with the tracks and other equipment they carried.

And the gunner and loader are there, transforming themselves into a stationary casemate.

Anyway, at this time, the tank whose tracks were blown up was only about 1,500 meters away from the place, and at a distance of 1,500 meters, the 85mm gun it carried was already able to pose a threat to all the tanks of the opponent except for the Tiger Hunter.

And in a stationary situation, the accuracy of the tank's shooting will be better.

It was only after a short time that the gunner and loader in the turret worked together to hit a King Tiger. Although the shell was ricocheted off by King Tiger's armor, it left a scratch on the armor.

On the other hand, Gan Liang and the others were crazy and galloped towards the position of the tiger hunter.

Although in front of them, there are still leopards and tigers in the way, but Gan Liang and the others are completely ignorant, because for them, the purpose of this mission is those hunting tigers, as long as they can kill all these hunting tigers, then their task will be completed, and the remaining tiger kings, tigers, leopards, or something will naturally no longer be opponents.

And in fact, they did.

"Boom !!"

After paying a certain number of casualties, a ZT-40 finally came into effective range against the Hunting Tiger, followed by a shell that hit a Hunting Tiger.

Although this shell failed to penetrate the Hunting Tiger, it successfully blew up the Hunting Tiger's tracks...

Unlike tanks, the biggest difference between tank destroyers and tanks is that they don't have a turret.

Therefore, as long as the track is blown up, the tank destroyer is the same as a broken leg, so before the crew of the Tiger Hunter repairs the track, as long as you move your car out of the range of the Tiger Hunter's artillery, then the Tiger Hunting is equivalent to no threat at all.

And after successfully injuring one, soon the other side was also injured.

On the other hand, Li Mo's side also took this opportunity to press on all fronts.

Unlike the game, as long as the commander is not cowardly on the real battlefield, it is rare to sell teammates―――――― as long as the troops are not at the militia level, or even inferior to the militia...

Therefore, the hatchback cooperation is quite good, although the combat effectiveness of the Germans is also quite strong, and soon destroyed a ZT-40 again, but when it was attacked from both sides, those hunting tigers who were taken care of did not know which one to take care of...

Gu Front? The back will take care of you, but if you look at the back, the front is not an easy thing to settle...

Although the battle situation was still in a stalemate at this time, when it was the most important and the core of the entire German armored regiment, after the tiger hunting appeared to take care of one or the other, the balance was once again tilted to Li Mo's side...

――――――――――――――――――――

"Commander, the good news that has just been sent back is that the front has just won a great victory, not only completely capturing the enemy's position, but also completely annihilating one of the enemy's tank regiments. In the tank regiments, there were even two weapons, the Tiger King and the Tiger Hunter, the newest of the Germans..."...,

In the rear headquarters of the Caucasian Corps, an officer walked quickly to Cai Ye with a telegram.

Although in such a large-scale battle of hundreds of thousands of people, or even millions of people, the gains and losses of one position and one regiment are somewhat untable. But after all, it was the first meeting between the Wehrmacht and the Germans since the end of the First World War, and it was a very morale-boosting thing to be able to win a little, if not just a little.

"Oh?!" Hearing the officer say this, Cai Ye turned around from the map.

"How's the loss?"

"This..." Hearing Cai Ye say this, the officer's face, which was originally quite happy, changed. The loss, not small..."

Although they suffered a defeat in Moscow, this was not the moment when the Germans were exhausted, so the Germans were quite strong in terms of equipment and morale. Therefore, when Li Mo wins, his own losses are also quite large...

At least, there were only a few dozen tanks left, but in the end, there were less than thirty left, and among these more than twenty tanks, many of them were seriously injured, and even if they wanted to repair, it would take a lot of time, and it was not clear whether there was any value in repairing. But even so, the opponent's half of the tank regiment was all destroyed on the battlefield by Li Mo.

On the other hand, Li Mo's mechanized division also successfully captured the position and captured more than 1,000 German soldiers.

"Is it..."

Hearing the officer say this, Cai Ye nodded.

"Anyway, it's good to win..."

With that, Cai Ye turned his head to the officer again.

"Order 347 to rush to the front line and replace the 535th Division. At the same time, the 535th Division was ordered to bring back the wreckage of the captured enemy tanks, which were to be sent to the General Armament Department for study..."

Although many German engineers returned to Germany during the dual-lead project, many of them were successfully bribed by the Military Intelligence Agency.

So while they were serving the Germans, they were also sending a steady stream of information back to China. Therefore, the government is no stranger to the existence of Tiger Hunting and Tiger King, but it does not know much about the specific performance of these two types of weapons.

Especially after the official war between China and Germany, many of the original routes to provide information to the national government were also broken, and some Germans who originally provided information took the initiative to cut off contact with the national government―――――― originally when they had not yet become enemy countries, many Germans were still willing to exchange some information in the case of friendship in the past, after all, this can also be exchanged for all the money, but in the case that the two countries have declared war on each other, it is naked treason. Although many Germans did not care about this, the vast majority of Germans did not want to commit treason, otherwise they would not have returned to Germany in the first place...

Therefore, the government of the Republic of China really needs to hunt the wreckage of the tiger and the tiger king to get accurate information.

And after hearing Cai Yi's words, the officer nodded.

"Understand !!"

After a while, the headquarters had already contacted the 535th Division, and after receiving the order, the commander of the 535th Division ordered Li Mo, who was the commander of the tank regiment, to take the wreckage of the Tiger Hunt and the Tiger King and transport them back to the rear by various means―――――― just as this tank regiment also needed to rest.

On the other hand, after the victory in the Philippine Naval Battle, the National Defense Forces also succeeded in capturing the Philippines. Although the Japanese troops in the Philippines were strictly defended, and many even hid in the woods to serve as guerrillas, when the IDF invested some very cruel weapons, the IDF finally successfully captured the Philippines.

At the same time as the offensive against the Philippines, the Nationalist government also launched an offensive against the South Sea Islands, which originally belonged to Malaysia.

After the capture of the Philippines, the Air Force was able to provide air support to the Navy, because there happened to be a series of islands in the sea to Malaysia, which were fully capable of providing coordinates for the Air Force's fighters and bombers.

Therefore, there was no need for the navy to continue to trouble, and perhaps for fear of losing all the remaining possessions, the Japanese never dispatched a combined fleet again, but only intercepted them with army fighters.

These army fighters have caused a lot of trouble, especially the Japanese Type 4 fighters, whose combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of the ZD-20. After the Japanese transferred their industry to Australia, it seems that they have also achieved some results, and Australia, which is already rich in resources and has certain industrial facilities, has begun to become a second base for Japan...
