Chapter 16: The Battle Lane is Over, Return to Everyday Life
"That's right, it's fascinating. Can the president see it? Yukari's eyes continued to sparkle.
"Tall, narrow hull, two guns - isn't this a clear design feature of ultra-backwardness?" Willissa complained.
The fact that the chariot was made tall and narrow and equipped with multiple artillery pieces proved to be a backward design before the forties of the 20 th century, but the United States was still engaged in this kind of design in this era, and this was the first heavy tank of the United States, which shows its backwardness.
"But the firepower and protection are really strong." Yuhanari said.
In terms of appearance, it should be a certain model of the M6 series of heavy tanks, the hull is very tall, 8.81m long, 3.95m wide, 3.19m high, the turret is also large enough, with a diameter of 1.75m, leaving plenty of space for the installation of large-caliber guns, the M7 76.2mm tank gun is installed, the coaxial is equipped with the M6 37mm gun, and the coaxial machine gun, the thickest part of the armor of the 6 tank is more than 100mm.
The firepower and protection look good, so much firepower, it is simply an all-round mobile fortress, and any infantry cluster and lightly armored cluster that wants to attack this combat vehicle will definitely have to send an alpaca in the process of being slaughtered. But that's all, because—
"The weight of the M6 series ranges from 57t ~ 77t, such a heavy tank and the Tiger and even the Tiger King a level, the main gun is only equipped with a 76.2mm tank gun that can be mounted on the Sherman chassis, the maximum defense of this tonnage is only 100mm, and the engine power must not work, this tall and long size is not easy to drag, the tank wants to cry without tears." Willisa didn't have a good air.
The M6 series attracted a lot of attention, but the American armored forces rated it badly. In addition to the poor walking ability caused by the overly fragile gearbox, the guns used in the M6 series are not much stronger than the main guns of the M3 and M4 tanks, and there is also the problem of poor armor defense. The amount of manpower invested is not directly proportional to its combat effectiveness.
"Well, anyway, it's a ...... At least the firepower and protection are a little better than the tank in the same period, the vision of truth may be relatively high, I can't look at it, but it is also a rare tank for us, let's drag it back. Kakutani said.
"Well, I know." Willisa sighed.
It may be a little difficult to move next, but this tank is actually designed to be thin and tall, although the balance is much better than that of the KV-2, but the terrain here is also difficult to walk, especially the indirect travel operation of dragging.
But this is also the reason why the Americans are designing it this way because in World War II, the U.S. Army had strict restrictions on the width of various vehicles in order to facilitate train and ship transportation. If it is designed to Tiger proportions, it will encounter a lot of trouble just for loading, and the transportation of Tiger tanks is indeed very troublesome. Now this ratio is that transportation is not a hassle, and the balance is just enough to be reliable.
Seeing that the towrope had been attached, Willisa reopened the hatch of the cab and jumped in. Yuhanari climbed in through the large hole in the turret seat.
"Sure enough, Huiri also cares about the performance of the chariot?" Yuhani asked.
"Of course, it's a crime against the crew to make a bad tank. Isn't it? Willissa said.
"Uh-huh...... Although I think the variety of chariots is refreshing, but ...... It's not incomprehensible, different chariots are children with different personalities, but sure enough, children with good personalities will be more likable. Yuhanari said.
"Ah, ahaha, this is a parable...... Shouldn't the chariot be compared to a boyfriend? However, Youhuali is really more loving than me, and I borrowed it last time...... By the way, what kind of car did you buy with my card? I've been to your garage and seen it, but I haven't seen anything new. Willissa remembered the black card that she had almost forgotten.
"Ah, that...... Actually, I'm going to go in a few days. Yuhanari said.
"Huh?" Hui Lisha was dumbfounded, she hadn't used it after lending it for so long?
"Well, because we can find some things here, so if we can't find them, we can buy them."
"Well, should I say thrifty or stingy? When I think of this, I really think that the truth where I am is really generous...... Although probably not as good as Hesse, Saunders and St. Gloriana, she ...... Guys...... Ahh Clarissa suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong!"
"It's on fire?"
"What's going on?"
There was a series of knocking sounds outside the car.
“…… It's okay, just remember that today wasn't an exhibition game hosted by our truth? I completely missed watching the live broadcast! Willisa exclaimed.
"In this way, can't you still watch the broadcast on BBS?" When the president learned the truth, he said it to himself.
"Atmosphere is important, isn't it?" Willisa was a little deflated, but since she had missed it, there was no way, and Willisa turned her gaze back to what she should be doing at the moment.
Soon, the "laughter" was drowned out by the violent roar that Willisa produced as she started the chariot. The moment the cable tightened, Willisa and Yuhanari suddenly leaned forward.
"It's so heavy, the total weight that the engine needs to push now must be more than 100t." Willissa said.
"Well, come on. I must bring this chariot back. ”
"In Youhuali, the throttle has been stepped on, and now it's not me who wants to refuel, it's the engine."
Fortunately, the distance is not very far, as long as it is towed outside, it can be transferred by boat.
……………………………………………………
The next evening, Oarai Women's College, Akiyama Barber Shop—
"Dad, Mom, Youhuali, I'm going out to return to the truth." After dinner, Willissa, who had greeted her family outside the house, walked in the direction of the pier.
The exhibition match held by Truth is over, it's really a good showcase, Sanders, as a teammate, took out the T29 and T30 this time, the teammates are very powerful, and they are much more proficient in the operation of those heavy tanks, and I really feel a little sorry that Willisa didn't participate or watch the live broadcast.
However, the end of the exhibition competition also represents the perfect end of this year's Battle Lane National Competition, and it is time to resume classes, and there will be final exams in more than ten days, and Huirissa will return to her own task as a high school student. I can return to the truth in the evening and continue the class the next day, and Hui Lisa hopes that she will not be too tired to be played with as a puppy by Ye Liusha tonight.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going to spend the night at school next week." Not long after, Yukari, who had prepared a little props, also put on her shoes and said goodbye to her parents at the door.
"Go all the way."
"Well, goodbye."
After the two daughters left, Jungoro "cried" with a contrived expression: "the kids, the daughters have less time at home after they get busy." ”
"Kid dad, it's a good thing for the kids."
