readx; As the sound of tanks continued to come, off-road, ravines, even simple wading, climbing, etc., as the test lasted longer and longer, the smile on Palavicht's face became brighter and brighter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nothing could excite him more than this, as a professional mechanical expert, being brought by the Chinese to study tanks, and also to be fully responsible for the development of engines, this is a serious challenge for him.

Although the final data has not yet been summarized, so far, this tank has the conditions to go to war, and the next thing to test is to see how long he can hold out.

"Song, I think you can order the factory to start assembling the new tank, but the engine needs to wait a little longer, if nothing else, half a month should be about the same, let them assemble the body and other parts first, and then directly install the engine and go to the battlefield."

Palavict said excitedly.

At this point, it is almost certain that the tank has shown so far, and he is very satisfied with the data that this tank has shown so far, whether it is armor protection or speed, or power and endurance, it has basically met their initial expectations.

Ever since the engine was installed on the tank, they have been testing it non-stop, and all the testers have divided into small groups and are driving the tank around the base 24 hours a day.

Of course, they revolve around a pre-designed site that simulates the environment of most parts of the world, including mountains, rivers, roads, rugged paths, and even virgin forests.

And how far a lap will be they have already calculated, at the starting point someone has been staring at the tank, every time he has driven a lap, they will record the number of laps on a piece of paper, in order to measure the endurance of the tank.

However, after so many days of testing, they have already obtained the final data on the endurance, about 500 kilometers, up and down may have an amplitude of about one or twenty kilometers, but this is a world of difference compared to the previous one, and this endurance is enough to fight with T34, you must know that T34 is just a little guy weighing more than 30 tons, and the new tank has an empty weight of 52 tons, which is an out-and-out heavy tank.

"Para, are you sure? Don't make a mistake at the last minute, or we'll lose too much this time. ”

Song Qian frowned and couldn't help but worry.

He also saw the performance of this tank, the surname can be very good, the speed on the road has reached 51 kilometers, and the cross-country speed is not inferior at all, and it has reached a terrifying 43 kilometers, what is this concept? Their current T34 is also just fifty kilometers on the road, so it can be said that this is a new tank with the speed of a medium tank and the power of a heavy tank.

Once this tank comes out, it will definitely bring a devastating blow to the enemy, don't think that the 100 mm smoothbore gun is just an accessory, to put it mildly, use this thing to fight the Soviet T34, even Song Qian felt a bit wasted.

But this is not to say that there are no problems, it is still very risky to start mass production of a tank that has not been fully tested, in case there is a big problem found later, although it will be more troublesome to modify it at that time, but once these tanks are found on the battlefield and the problem is found, it will be a tragedy, and the unlucky ones can only be their own soldiers.

"Theoretically, he has no problem, now the tank has been running non-stop for twelve days, and the engine of a tank is divided into two stages, the second level is three hundred hours, the first level is four hundred and fifty hours, and now we are only about twelve hours away from almost reaching the second level, and from his performance, I don't think he has any problems, and it may even reach the standard of the first level."

"As for the actual combat surname of this tank, it can only be tested on the battlefield, anyway, we have tested the items that can be tested in the base several times, and there is no problem. So Song, from now on, whether this tank is lying on its stomach or not, or if there is any other failure, he has been proving to us that it is a very good tank, and depending on the situation on the battlefield, if the tank breaks down now, then it will be able to operate for a month on the battlefield, or more. ”

Palaviette explained carefully.

Don't think that the tank is very powerful, it is just his appearance, in fact, the engine of the tank is distinguished by grade, the second-stage engine needs to be replaced every 300 hours, the first-stage engine is 450 hours, and after replacing the engine three times, the tank needs to undergo a major overhaul.

That is to say, every time the engine is replaced, it can only be regarded as a medium repair, mainly to replace the engine, and check other aspects, if there is no safety hazard, it will not be replaced. Only when an overhaul is carried out will all parts that are likely to be hidden or appear to be unsafe be replaced.

After the engine of the tank is removed, many of them are repaired and then installed on the fishing boat, because the load of the tank is too high, and the requirements for the engine are very high, even if the engine is repaired, it still cannot meet the needs of the tank to continue fighting.

"Okay, I will report it truthfully to Your Majesty, as for whether it will be mass-produced, then it can only be decided by Your Majesty."

Song Qian was finally persuaded by Palaviette's evidence, in fact, after seeing that the tank had been running non-stop for so long and there was no problem, Song Qian was also tempted.

It's just that he is not a professional, and he can only judge the surname of the tank from its appearance, and now that Palaviette has taken out some professional data to prove that he has the qualifications for preliminary mass production, then Song Qian will naturally not stubbornly ask them to decide after testing.

He can wait, but the front line can't wait, as early as a week ago, Army Group North once again launched a large-scale battle with the Soviet army, this time the Soviet army can be described as menacing, silently gathered nearly 2,000 tanks, and the point that Army Group North found was just a drizzle.

Although the Air Force was very heroic, after receiving the order, it directly dispatched the whole army and destroyed four or five hundred Soviet tanks, but the more than 1,000 tanks that still came out still caught them a little by surprise.

And this time the armored troops were not as lucky as before, and they also thoroughly realized Zhukov's strength, if it were not for the rich experience in armored combat and sufficient battlefield qualifications, maybe the armored troops of Army Group North would have been defeated by the Soviet army.

Now they can only rely on their only advantage, as well as the cooperation of the infantry, barely stand firm on the battlefield, and the new tanks of the Soviet army have also caused a lot of losses to Army Group North, although at the beginning they can still exchange one for three, but now it has basically become one for two, and as the war continues, this proportion will be fully reduced.

I have to admit that the growth of the Soviet army is beyond their imagination, it is simply unpredictable, and the most terrible thing is that the Soviet army's tanks seem to be inexhaustible, and they have already beaten less than 1,000 of their tanks, but when they look at it again a few days later, almost hundreds of tanks have been sent to the front line, and the Army Group North can only urge the rear while gnawing on the old book first.

In this case, in order not to put more pressure on Palavict, Su Dao didn't know how many times he had asked Song Qian about the research status of the tank, and the factory in the rear was even more full of horsepower to produce the parts and components needed for the tank, as long as they were determined on their side, they could start assembling there.

'Whoosh ......'

'Boom! ’

A rocket dragged a long line of white smoke and slammed headfirst directly into a Soviet tank, followed by a loud explosion that made even the place where they were tremble.

However, what made this group of soldiers speechless was that Bazooka failed to beat the tank down, and the high-explosive anti-tank warhead that could penetrate the 135 mm thick armor did not penetrate the frontal armor of the tank of more than 70 mm, which made the soldiers very depressed.

In the past week, they have rarely been able to directly use Bazooka to destroy the enemy's tanks, and the enemy's tanks never act alone, and when they move, they will inevitably be followed by infantry, or directly a tank group, which makes the anti-tank fighters who want to go around the rear to sneak attack are always unsatisfactory.

The butt of the tank is the weak part, and it is also the location of the engine, but now they have no chance to hit the tank butt at all, so the remaining two weak parts are only the chassis and the top, and the chassis does not need to be considered, except for using mines, it is difficult for Bazooka to hit the bottom directly, and the top, they do not have this opportunity at the moment.

This is not the most frustrating part for them, although the battle has been going on for a long time, but they have not had a record of going head-to-head with the tanks, before the main opponents of the Soviet tanks were the air force and their armored corps, and the average infantry basically ignored them.

But now it doesn't work, ignore it and only die, now the Soviets are carrying out a counterattack, and their main forces are not here at the moment, they must withstand at least a day, and then after the main forces come back, they can carry out a counter-charge against the Soviet troops who counterattack.

"Damn, how can I forget this stubble, go to the side of the tank, and make sure that one dozen is accurate."

A second lieutenant patted his head violently, this knowledge has not been used for too long and it is really rusty, but fortunately, now that the battle has just begun, it is still too late.

Before, he was only annoyed, he forgot that the front of the tank is inclined armor, and the anti-tank shell will unload part of the power after hitting it, and it is difficult to get into it directly, if it is a tank gun or artillery or something, there is still a chance to let the shell directly drill in, but Bazooka, the speed is too slow, and it is not possible to hit the front at all.

And the instructor also said this when he was studying before, it is better for Bazooka to aim to the side when dealing with tanks, even if it can't blow it up, it can break his tracks and load wheels, so that he can't stand there and can't move.
