Chapter 5: Chariots of Doom
“…… Because it's going to be a competition, this year's competition is really amazing, and the participating schools are much stronger than the previous ones. Even if...... I'm sorry, I'm still a little nervous, so I'll prepare the tank more carefully...... Even if you look at it more, it will be a little more reassuring. It's a shame to say. "Willisa felt like she wasn't running out of brain cells.
"Well, it feels like ah, I know what I know. No matter what the process is, there is no point in not winning it, and it is important to adjust the pre-war situation. Miho nodded in agreement.
"This vice-captain is really easy to talk to." Willisa said secretly.
"Uh-huh-mm-mm...... It's not necessary, but I'm going to do it next time anyway......" Miho said, taking Willisa around the aisle in front of herissa and opening the door to a small room.
"I'm going to move it in the next two days, so let's move a few bottles now." Miho pointed to a pile of fire extinguishers and said.
"The fire extinguisher on the chariot is indeed a very important thing." Hui Lisha subconsciously wanted to pick up two of each hand, but remembering the strength of the general battle lane girl, she hurriedly stopped, and only took a fire extinguisher in each hand.
……………………………………………………
Garage –
Hui Lisha held a fire extinguisher in one hand, followed Miho, who was also carrying a fire extinguisher, and walked in, now there are only a few dozen people left in the garage who are busy with the final aftermath, it seems that there are many people, but compared with the number of people in the chariot department of Hesse Peak, it is obviously quite small.
“?!”
Willisa knew that this garage was not parked with a chariot for the next race, but the chariot here alone shocked Herissa-
E-100, a total of 4 vehicles, but each one is different, namely the E-100 mouse turret, the E-100 Henschel turret, the E-100 Krupp turret, and the E-100 Tan Annihilation, all of which are super heavy combat vehicles of more than 100t.
The development of the E-100 began in June 1943, under the auspices of Hitler, the -100 tank had a combat weight of 140t and a crew of 6 people. The fighting compartment is particularly large, with powerful firepower and superior protection. The power unit is front, the driving wheel is in front, the induction wheel is in the rear, and the suspension device is an external barrel coil spring suspension device. The arrangement of the load wheels also adopts the alternating arrangement that was customary on German tanks during World War II. The main armament was a 150mm KK gun or a 174mm gun, but in the end it seemed that the 128mm gun was ready to be chosen. In addition, the thickness of the armor of the E-100 tank in various parts is also very impressive. Anti-tank weapons during World War II were difficult to penetrate. Its power plant is a HL234 water-cooled gasoline engine, and its track width reaches 1020mm. In addition to the direct use of the mouse turret option, there were also turret options designed by Henschel and Krupp, but the E-100 super-heavy tank was still in the prototype development stage.
As for the remaining one, although it has been suggested in history that the E-100 Salamander was an attempt by Germany to confuse foreign intelligence...... In short, Willisa was a little speechless about the super-amplified version of this Gepard tank destroyer with a 170mm gun. Carrying such a large cannon, the moment of braking - the result may be wonderful, right?
In addition, there are two super heavy tanks with a slightly different appearance, slightly smaller, and one circle larger than the King Tiger, and looking at the shape of the turret, it should be two different models of Lion tanks.
The Lion tank is a new idea put forward by Krupp's R&D personnel after observing the aging T-35 tank: with a 150mm 37 or 40 times diameter main gun, or a 105mm KKL/70 main gun as the main armament, the latter was finally chosen, the firepower is stronger than the Tiger King, enough, weighing 90t or 70t two models, a heavy tank with a crew of 5 people. The principle is to use as many parts as possible of the King Tiger tank, reducing and reducing logistical costs.
However, these two Lion tanks are obviously equipped with King Tiger's 88mm long-barreled guns, and they do have such a record, and the firing speed is faster than that of larger caliber guns, which is also enough in the battle lane. Even the KV-5 of Truth will not be able to stop it, and the IS-4 will be doomed if it is hit by a vertical incident hull.
There are so many super-heavy tanks, so that Willisa is a little looking forward to whether she will see various VK experimental car series, but unfortunately she didn't see it.
The Rat tank is also here, this is the same vehicle that has been used in Hesshorn in the past, although it is a heavier vehicle than the E-100 and the Lion tank, but when placed together with four E-100s, it is not so prominent.
There is also a seemingly clumsy tank with a muzzle that people can climb into, no, it should be an assault gun - a combat vehicle carrying a 380mm gun, and the caliber of the main gun catches up with the main gun of a large battleship - the Assault Tiger!
Assault Tiger is a self-propelled heavy mortar, mainly used in urban street fighting, can destroy any building or other target with a rocket, there are reports that one of its rockets completely destroyed the US military 3 M4 Sherman tanks, so even if the Hesse peak is dragged into the street battle that it is extremely bad at, it is necessary to beware of this terrifying weapon, just like the Churchill Royal Engineer Tank, but this is more powerful, and it can also attack the high ground, that is, it can not be used by grabbing the mountain to form a geographical advantage.
The front armor of the Assault Tiger is as high as 150mm, and it is still a large-angle armor, even if it carries such a terrible gun, the chassis is still a Tiger chassis, and the armor has not been weakened. The power and range are more powerful than the Churchill Royal Sapper Tank, even if the shells are heavier, but this gun is equipped with something similar to an automatic loader, and it seems that it has also been legally modified according to the rules of the battle lane (originally the Strike Tiger's reload will be exposed like the original Churchill Royal Sapper Tank), which is even more troublesome.
Fortunately, the Tiger King is still the traditional Tiger King, and the Black Panther is also the traditional Black Panther, if the Tiger King and the Black Panther are all replaced by the E-75 and E-50 that replace them, Willissa will really have to cry.
"Alas......" opened her mouth and almost came out with excitement, and forced her breath to suppress her breath, and sighed instead.
"What's wrong?" Miho asked, turning her head.
"Uh...... I'm just thinking, we Hesse are racing to win, but can this kind of competition really improve our strength? A little worried about the future. Willissa said.
"Well, yes, why can't the rules of the Battle Lane Tournament unify the combat power of each team? This kind of competition is really unfair at all, and the comparison is completely about the financial resources of each school, and strategy and tactics have become secondary. Miho turned her gaze to a column of heavy chariots next to her and spoke.
"............" Willissa's eyes widened, and she almost stopped.
In fact, the Battle Lane League has already formulated rules to "unify" the combat power of the participating teams, and every time they compete, they will naturally set the upper limit of the number of combat vehicles (10 in the preliminary round, 10 in the semi-finals, 15 in the semi-finals, and 20 in the finals) and the quota of shells (the number is inversely proportional to the caliber, and directly proportional to the tonnage), but ............
