Although the Germans' tactics of freezing and washing the ground were curbed, the overall shape did not change for Nikolai, and his gray cattle continued to suffer on long fronts, especially as the German tank units were massively put into the battlefield and the pressure on the Russian army was increasing.

Because both sides are using the same anti-aircraft guns, the Germans are naturally very clear about the power of Chinese-made 25-millimeter anti-aircraft guns, so they use the chassis purchased from China to make a combat vehicle to defend against this kind of anti-aircraft guns, and the weight of thickened armor is even more than 18 tons, unless it is pulled closer to 100 meters, the 25-millimeter anti-aircraft gun will definitely not be able to penetrate its frontal armor, although the consequence of this is that the fastest speed is less than 20 kilometers per hour, but as an infantry support weapon is enough.

On the Zhytomyr battlefield, when the first batch of fifty such tanks was unveiled, the Germans almost broke through the Russian lines.

On the battlefield that had just been incinerated by the solidified qiyou shells, in the light of the explosion of the PAO shells, the terrifying steel monsters that suddenly appeared, under the cover of a large number of infantry, drove forward unstoppably and slowly, and the gray cattle in the trenches on the opposite side desperately shot at them with a battle defense gun, and the twenty-five mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells whistled across the battlefield, and the striking fire on their solid front armor bounced off at various angles, and the five or seven guns on these combat vehicles and the mortars supporting them in the rear even covered the grenadiers in the hands of the infantry, and at the same time constantly attacking the Russian anti-aircraft artillery.

The German tanks attacking with shells frightened the gray cattle, and in the whistling of bullets and the explosion of PAO shells, they repeated the action of loading and aiming again and again, but unfortunately none of the armor-piercing shells could penetrate these tanks, but the heavy artillery in the rear destroyed a few.

Seeing that just as these chariots rushed to the Russian line, their savior finally arrived, leading his men to retreat to Denikin, who had retreated here. Appearing on the battlefield again with his own chariot regiment, he is now a colonel and officially the commander of the regiment, but his chariots have not been replenished, and this chariot, known as the Bobcat, must be purchased from China, and it will take time to replenish it.

Thirty-eight tanks rushed out from behind the Russian defense line, ran through the trenches and rushed directly at the approaching German tanks, and when they were only more than 200 meters apart, they stopped to aim at the target and fired, and the 37 tank guns using tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells were extremely powerful, and in the first round of shooting, four German tanks were pierced through the frontal armor, and flames gushed out from the holes that were penetrated. There were even ammunition blasts that blew the turret off.

At the same time, the Germans fired the same fire, but unfortunately this tank, which was designed purely to support the infantry, although the armor was thick enough and the caliber of the gun was also a larger five or seven millimeters, but it was a short-barreled gun, which was very effective against the infantry, but it was much worse for attacking the tank, although the Germans had a higher hit rate, they hit eight Lynxes, and none of them were destroyed.

Denikin's car was also hit by a shell. But it was not an armor-piercing bullet, but a hastily fired anti-personnel bullet, and although he dodged quickly, his eyes were still blackened by the explosion.

Just as he was getting back out of the turret. The German tanks on the opposite side had already begun to retreat, and the difference in the effectiveness of the artillery of the two sides made the German commander in charge of the offensive sober up, and such a battle would not be good for them. However, at this time, it revealed the strangeness of these German charioteers to this kind of battle, they did not go backwards, these chariots were too slow to reverse. Similar to ordinary people on foot, in order to get out of the battlefield as much as possible, they took the method of turning and turning around, while the turret rotated and opened fire to block the pursuit of the Russian army.

But in this way, the weakly armored tail was revealed, and the pursuing Russian tanks immediately opened fire, and even the anti-aircraft guns behind joined the attack, and by the time the German commander came to his senses, he had already lost almost half of his tank.

Immediately after that, the Russian tanks behind restarted and took advantage of the high speed advantage to catch up, but fortunately, at this time, the anti-aircraft guns and infantry guns on the opposite German line also opened fire at the same time, which covered the retreat of the attacking German remnants behind the trenches.

This is the first head-to-head exchange of fire between the two sides, and it can also be said that it is the first large-scale tank battle in the history of warfare, although there have been several times before, but they are all single-digit levels, and the results of this battle have had an important impact on the tank tactics of various countries, of course, this battle can be said to be great news for Chinese arms dealers.

Both sides have fully tested the quality of Chinese goods with actual combat, both Germany and Russia, they want more bulldozers, and the Germans also want to be able to get a more powerful version, they are now very satisfied with the protection of their tanks, but the speed is too slow, the Russians want more Lynx, Nikolai wants at least one brigade for each group army. In addition to the tank and artillery, the performance of the 25mm anti-aircraft gun is not enough, the Russians now want the 37, the performance is at least not worse than the 37 tank gun, the Germans also want it, their 25-mm anti-aircraft gun and the face of the Bobcat chariot is not very good.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, their chariot technology is becoming more and more mature, although they still have to rely on us to supply, but they really sell them more, and it doesn't seem to be very good for our future plans!" Attendant Yuan said worriedly. It should be said that this is the unanimous concern of all those who know Emperor Yang's ambitions, after all, the chariots used by China now are a grade higher than the Bobcats, although the speed is fast, but the tonnage and armor protection capabilities are also on the same level as the German chariots, and it is obvious that the Bobcats can destroy the German chariots head-on, and they can also destroy China.

In this case, if you sell more to them, there will be trouble in fighting in the future, especially if Russia is destined to become an enemy, although it is very profitable to make money, but if you pay a lot of casualties for it in the future, it will be a little more than worth the loss, after all, the cost of compensation for the dead and wounded of soldiers is also very high.

"There is no need to worry about this problem, next our tank factory, it is time to change to a new product, what kind of heavy tank is less than twenty tons? It's just a small toy worth mentioning, and our own heavy tank needs at least thirty tons or more. Yang Feng said with a smile. In fact, even the Tiger he is not worried, although the thickness of the armor is about the same, but the quality of the armor is much worse, the Lynx's chariot gun is impossible to penetrate the front of the Tiger no matter what, as for the Tiger's five or seven guns, it was pulled to World War II also had a certain strength, against the Lynx that he sold, it can be said that it can be easily destroyed a kilometer away, which has been tested in practice.

Of course, China's armored division must have a heavy tank with overwhelming superiority, at this time in the arsenal in Luoyang, has begun the manufacture of T34-76, it is estimated that there will be another half a year to see the finished product, to build this kind of combat vehicle for the current level of China's technology is still no pressure, including 500 horsepower diesel engines can also be manufactured without the help of a beautiful avatar, if Yang Feng tossed for so many years, even the technical process of Comrade Joseph's thirties can not be reached, He felt like he had to find a place to crash and die.

He said that Yuan was relieved, in fact, he was just showing his loyalty, and he also knew that it was impossible for His Majesty and his mind to be unguarded against this kind of thing, since there was nothing to worry about, then of course this kind of good business to make money should be accepted. However, since China does not have these things at present, it also needs a certain amount of research and development time, and Europe still needs to continue to bleed each other with existing weapons, and because it is not used by China itself, even the research and development costs need to be borne by countries such as Germany and Russia, of course, they will definitely not care about this.

During this time, the chariot factory of the Great Wall Heavy Industry is desperately expanding its production capacity, and almost half of Luoyang is about to become their factory, even if this is the output still can't keep up, after all, Emperor Yang has stopped expanding the scale of Sweden and the Confederation's factories at this time, so more than half of the main production tasks are pressed on this factory.

In this way, Yang Feng had to build a new production base in Chongqing, so that the steel became tense again, and he could only continue to expand the steel plant, of course, there was no need for him to build such a steel plant himself, as long as there was market demand, the capitalists who were fat because of this war were solved.

"How many tons of steel were produced last year?" Emperor Yang asked.

"The number of people who have just come out has exceeded 10 million tons, and it is still in short supply, and a large number of private steel mills are being built, and many of them have even directly dismantled their production lines from the United States." Yuan Shikai smiled very sinisterly when he said this. In fact, it's not just steel, now it has become a trend to go to the United States to dismantle ready-made factories, and the first reaction of those Chinese capitalists who want to invest in industry is to see if there are ready-made factories in the United States that can be demolished.

According to the speed at which Chinese businessmen dismantle factories in the United States, it will not take the war to end, and the US industry will have to shrink to the same level as Brazil, and last year their steel production has already dropped to less than 5 million tons, and if the trade sanctions continue this year, the US steel production capacity will continue to shrink, and it is estimated that it is still very possible to drop to less than 4 million tons, after all, in addition to the embargo, the US steel mills also have to bear the impact of the Confederacy and Chinese smuggled goods.

"That's okay, but we still need to work hard, and our goal is to exceed 20 million tons in two years, so that we can almost support our needs." Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, as for what needs are met, there is no need to say this. (To be continued......)
