Chapter 148: Dragging
Some of the soldiers who had opened the gate before stood by the gate, and some of them followed the officer corps to the garage, and they got into another car, but instead of following the officers deeper into the fortress, they drove straight to the gate, waiting to lead the way for the incoming main battle tanks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two military vehicles galloped along the wide main road of the fortress, where everything was stored in the various secret rooms, and the empty passages were quiet but a little eerie under the light of the white miserable high-voltage light bulbs, and several people tried to return their thoughts to the tense battle that was going on on the ground, so as not to make people crazy with this depression underground.
"Drive directly to the heavy artillery warehouse, and don't look at anything else, this is the order from above!" The deputy company commander said in a deep voice while driving the car. In front of his eyes, there was already a secret room hatch with a striking red mark like on the map, and the two red seals seemed to have great magic to attract his attention, and with a blink of an eye, he gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight to the heavy artillery warehouse.
The car stopped in front of the warehouse door without his command, and the two officers jumped down without opening the door, and they swooped down on the gate valves on both sides, and at the same time pulled down hard, and then rushed in when the gap for one person had just been opened.
"Safety! Vehicles can enter! An officer's confirmation voice came from the walkie-talkie, but the deputy company commander did not speak, and only when another officer who entered with him also came to confirm the safety message, he quickly adjusted the channel knob on the walkie-talkie, "Confirm safety, start preparing for towing." ”
"Roger, the tank has entered."
At the same time as the two military vehicles drove into the heavy artillery warehouse, 12 Type 99 main battle tanks drove down with cyan fuel smoke and the roar of the engines, and the soldiers near the fortress gate immediately drove to the center of the main road, leading the armored combat team lined up to drive towards the warehouse according to the prompts from the walkie-talkie from time to time.
The city is not broken, the heavy tank naturally does not need to be on the top, the mechanized modern army units almost rely on wheeled armored infantry fighting vehicles with certain protection and counterattack capabilities when marching, so that the most common truck decades ago has become a scarcer thing than tanks after the army enters the city, although the most widely equipped Type 69 and Type 96 main battle tanks can pull the same heavy guns with amazing weight, but the price with it is a serious reduction in engine life, In the war period when logistics is far less than peacetime, everyone is desperately extending the service life of the equipment, but the 99 type is different, the engine it uses is developed from the German MTU company MB870 series V-type liquid-cooled diesel engine, after repeated research by the PLA equipment department, and finally its domestic version of the horsepower increased from 1200 to 1500, the strong heart gives it a strong power, and in the equipment library of the logistics department, The Type 99 spare engines were the most stockpiled, and the responsibility of pulling the first Asian gun naturally fell to them.
The crawler that is not equipped with the city rubber filler block is crushed on the cement floor that has not been subjected to direct pressure on the surface for 11 years, making a tooth-aching creaking sound as if it has crushed the fine stone fragments, but there are no cracks visible to the naked eye, although the level of craftsmanship decades ago makes people breathe, but on the surface it still looks trustworthy, for this sound, maybe it is a decades ago era has not fought a big guy with a total weight of 51 tons, The road surface, which was designed according to the full weight standard of the tank at that time, naturally has some abnormalities under today's pressure, and it is fortunate that it has not broken to the point.
The FGT-203 mm towed gun, with four wheels and a 45-caliber barrel and a two-dimensional barrel interface, was parked in two rows and staggered in the warehouse, and the 3.5-meter-long steel tow bar pressed against the concrete floor, making the entire war machine look like an infinitely extended "zigzag" from head to tail, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling against the backdrop of the concrete wall at the top of the fortress, which is not much taller than the gun, and the whole warehouse seems to have no place for other machines except them. For a moment, everyone only felt that even the noise of the military vehicle engine had weakened.
There was an oval iron jack at the end of the tow bar, which was connected to the steel struts of the tractor, but twenty-five years had already completely lost the trace of the tractor specially produced for the heavy artillery, and several officers got out of the car and checked the firmness of the connection in turn, and then stood aside and waited for the arrival of the tank unit.
The 12 tanks drawn from the Panzer Regiment of the 91st Division of the 31st Army received orders at the same time as they were ordered to obey the officers in the fort, and the first order they received when they entered the cold bunker, which was almost all in effect, was not to touch or observe anything except the heavy artillery warehouse. In fact, the tankmen were more concerned with running over the jeep in front of them, which looked like it could be kept in a museum as an antique.
"There is not enough space left in the warehouse to accommodate all the tanks, so wait in the open area and come in in order." The deputy company commander commanded. In fact, he reminded that the commander of the tank had already seen the scene inside the warehouse through the wide open warehouse door, and they quickly passed the situation to the driver, and one after another the steel beasts continued to walk along the main road with a low groan, making room for space in front of the warehouse door.
The soldiers on the guide car jumped off one by one before the tank could stop, they quickly climbed onto the chassis of the tank, and removed from the edge of the turret a ring of thick wire cables, which were made of six wire ropes the thickness of little fingers around a rope core in the middle, and the flexible rope was twisted to transmit long-distance loads. The excellent impact toughness ensures that it will not be stretched too much by the astonishing weight at both ends, so that in the process of dragging, the steering distance increases beyond the original calculation, resulting in heavy artillery collision and damage. The rope tied to the circular steel buckle like spider silk was attached to the towing ring under the chassis at one end, and the other end was carried by the galloping soldier to the socket at the tail of the heavy gun, through the hole and then fastened onto the cable. They had to ensure that this method of fixation could be unloaded as quickly as possible while the heavy artillery was being towed to the battery.
After a nervous and repeated inspection, the first tank began to increase its horsepower and slowly drove towards the way it came, the long heavy gun tow bar lifted along the taut rope until the whole heavy gun moved.
