Chapter 496: Why is it so thin?

readx; 'Mingming ......'

A train is running forward with thick black smoke, different from other trains, this train is not pulling our common containers, but a general flatbed body, each car body is placed on two things about two meters high, but what is inside is unknown, because each car body is covered with a thick canvas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was one carriage, and from the occasional blowing of the canvas, a large part of it was empty, and every five or six carriages there was a compartment with neat sandbags and at least two anti-aircraft machine guns.

One train was fifty or sixty cars long, and in the middle were container cars, and through the wide open door you could see that a soldier armed to the teeth was being made inside.

The four trains moved forward so tightly one after the other, and the difference between them was only ten minutes, and each of them had a wary look on their faces, and if someone approached, they would definitely react as soon as possible.

After several days of running, the four trains finally arrived at their destination, and on the way there, all the trains that saw them had to give way, and on these two trains were pulling the newly commissioned Tianwang tank.

After the commissioning was completed, the tank drove directly out of the factory, then directly into the transport ship, and was sent to Jinxi without daring to stop for a moment, and then directly boarded the waiting train there, with them in addition to the escort soldiers, there were also 100-millimeter shells produced by the Jinxi factory.

In order to ensure that the new tank can form combat effectiveness at the fastest speed, the blueprints of the Tianwang tank have long been sent to various receiving units through the Air Force, and the soldiers are also urgently learning the best way of the new tank according to the drawings.

Although there are only drawings, it will be slow to learn, but I don't expect them to be able to directly become a king tank just by looking at the drawings. The purpose is just to familiarize them with it, and when they see the King Tank, they won't know what to do.

'Crunch! ’

The long crunching sound of the train dragging against the rails finally stopped slowly, at this time the entire railway station was already under martial law, even the air force did not dare to be sloppy, and even sent ten fighters to patrol the railway station non-stop, once they found the enemy situation, they would report it as soon as possible.

Liu Guodong jumped directly from the car, and as the commander of the first armored corps of the Chinese Empire, Liu Guodong's fate did not turn out to be that of others.

The comrades-in-arms who were at the same time as Liu Guodong basically became the commanders or commanders of the group armies at this time, and even the officers of the armored forces under him before were also the commanders or division commanders of the armored armies of various group armies at this time.

Liu Guodong had a rank of general hanging on his collar at this time, but his position was a little embarrassing, and he was about to soar to Huangda, but who would have thought that a military reform would directly change Liu Guodong and have nowhere to go.

And Liu Guodong, who was the commander of the armored group army at the beginning, could not remain in the front-line troops after the military reform, if this was the case, he could only demote himself and willingly become a army commander.

Because the current armored forces, the highest structure is a corps-level unit, and it is integrated into the progressive army group, although this seems to greatly weaken the combat capability of the armored troops, and it is also very different from the combat mode at this time.

At a time when all countries were engaged in armored cluster operations, the Chinese Empire dismantled the armored clusters and scattered them into various infantry groups, which is logically unreasonable.

And judging from the current situation, it is indeed like that, if the armored troops were brought together, maybe it would not be the situation it is today.

Although the armored corps of each group army can also adapt to cluster operations, and the scale is not small, each armored corps has thousands of tanks, which is a cluster no matter where it is placed, the problem lies in the fact that the group armies at all levels are too scattered to use armored troops.

A group army has more than 1,000 tanks, they actually scattered four or five hundred tanks in various places, and then concentrated the remaining 600 tanks together for use, if it is usual, there will naturally be nothing abnormal, but now it is different, the Soviet army has tanks that can compete with them, then their tactics will naturally change.

After the military reform, Liu Guodong stayed in the headquarters of the Northern Army Group, serving as an armored combat staff officer, responsible for providing operational advice to troops at all levels.

After the problem occurred, this tactic needed to be changed, and Su Dao appointed Liu Guodong as the commander of the 12th Panzer Army, and transferred 50 percent of the current strength of the Northern Army Group, and the remaining 50 percent remained in the units, mainly responsible for defense and covering the attack.

And Liu Guodong's next task is also very simple, that is, there is no task, it doesn't matter how Su Dao fights in this battle, Liu Guodong can fight as much as he likes, but there can only be one result, annihilating the Soviet armored forces.

Therefore, after Liu Guodong received Su Dao's order, he directly mobilized several troops to wait at the railway station first, while he himself arrived by plane with the drawings.

For this new tank, Liu Guodong is also very unconfident, it is said that this is a very powerful tank, but this is just a legend, after all, none of them have seen it, and no one knows what he looks like.

And this makes the drawings they are familiar with even more painful, and they don't know who drew it, but they just drew the ** way of working the new tank, and at the same time told them the differences with the T34, and then let them take the T34 to practice.

'Hiss......'

When the canvas covering the train was lifted, all the soldiers couldn't help but gasp, is this a fucking tank? Looks too cool, right?

Looking at the neat tanks, everyone couldn't believe that this could be true, and if it weren't for the discipline, they would have stepped forward to feel it for themselves.

The entire hull is much lower than that of the T34/85, and the tracks have been widened to adapt to more environmental conditions, and there is a long antenna behind the tank, which was previously hidden, and the soldiers on the train pulled them out after the canvas was lifted.

The most gratifying thing is that the main gun of this tank is 100 mm, which means that they can kill the enemy's tank with one shot in the future, and the bird gas received during this time can be returned to the Soviet army immediately.

The flat turret looks square, but when combined with the body, it looks much better than the T34/85, but the small squares on the body are very depressing, and I don't know what it is.

"Wang Gong, come and tell me what's going on with this tank?"

After seeing the new tank, even Liu Guodong couldn't help it, ran directly to the other side of the car, and directly pulled down Wang Lin, an engineer from the research institute who was hiding on it and napping.

Wang Lin and Liu Guodong came here together, as a scientific researcher of the Tank Research Institute, when the equipment was delivered to the troops, the Tank Research Institute naturally sent several engineers to follow the troops, mainly to help them understand the combat vehicles and explain the methods of tank maintenance to those logistics soldiers.

After the troops have fully mastered this, he, as an engineer, can return to the research institute to continue his research. Generally speaking, there are not many such cases, and this is the first time they have come to the grassroots troops to teach them. However, when I heard those logistics soldiers say that all the maintenance techniques of the T34 in the past were explored by themselves.

Wang Lin is a lot more relieved, he can find out the maintenance method of T34 by himself, then it is not difficult for the Tianwang tank, Wang Lin only needs to explain to them carefully, with their Wu surname, I believe that they will soon be able to master all the technology.

"Oh, here?"

Wang Lin rubbed his eyes, last night he talked to those logistics soldiers about the technology of the Tianwang tank, and it didn't end until six o'clock in the morning, and he just had breakfast and planned to rest for a while, when he was pulled by Liu Guodong to the train station.

"Well, why does this tank look like a bird? How does it look so thin. ”

Liu Guodong nodded hurriedly and pointed to the Tianwang Tank that was quietly parked on the train.

"Thin? You know a, huh? You look very thin, and when the fight really starts, you know if he is thin, this is a big guy with an empty weight of fifty-two tons. ”

Wang Lin scolded very untempered. Such a ** tank was actually said to be thinned by them? Whoever puts it on it will be angry.

"Hehe, Wang Gong, then you hurry up and tell me, this tank just doesn't look as thick as the T34."

Liu Guodong didn't care, a general scolded an engineer without a military rank, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all, and still asked cheekily.

Wang Lin reluctantly took down a set of tools from the car, jumped directly on the train, and directly started to work on a tank that had not had time to drive, and in less than two minutes, a piece of reactive armor was removed by him and thrown directly to Liu Guodong on the side.

"What is this thing for? Can it be removed so easily? ”

Liu Guodong fiddled with the reactive armor in his hand, feeling that the weight was a little light, not like a pure steel plate, so he asked.

"Reactive armor, the explosives contained in it, with this thing, you are basically equal to one more life, ordinary shells hit the tank basically have no damage, even small-caliber armor-piercing shells are not good, use our current tank to hit him, the first gun is at most to blow up the reactive armor, and the third artillery can hit the shell into the inside of the tank even if it burns high incense."

Wang Lin tapped the frontal armor of the tank behind the reactive armor with a wrench and explained.

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand. ”

Listening to the professional word of reactive armor, Liu Guodong felt that his brain seemed to be a little insufficient, and he couldn't figure out the routine at all.

"It means that when the shell hits you, this layer of reactive armor will explode, and the power of the shell will be unloaded with the force of the explosion, so that the shell cannot pose much threat to the tank and will not affect the next battle."

Wang Lin was also very depressed, so he could only take the trouble to continue to explain. (To be continued.) )
