With two days to go before the draw for the 74th National Competition, Higashi-Fuji Exercise Ground -

"Boom, boom!"

In the exercise field, in a combat zone within a radius of several kilometers, fire and smoke erupted from time to time. Oarai was divided into two groups by the instructors, and sometimes swapped some of the vehicles for simulated battles.

Through the scope, Willisa watched the last enemy chariot pop up with a white flag, then leaned back, exhaled, and said, "Basically every game I will destroy half of the opponent's chariot, and then I will win whichever side I am, isn't that interesting?" ”

"But," Ling said with her head bowed in praise, "the instructor has also taken this into account, and will always give two more chariots to Lord Huirisa's enemies, right?" ”

"Hehe, even if this is the case, Comrade Hui Lisha, who counts the example in kilometers, will not care about this kind of strength that has increased by tens of meters or a few meters, right?" Nibria said happily.

"No, Jili Majaro is still quite good." Hui Lisha shook her head, then nodded, "If the centurion comes out, I'll be in trouble, right?" ”

There were a total of 16 vehicles participating in the training and mock battles, including 12 from Oarai and 2 as personal belongings of the Akiyama sisters, as well as two other vehicles - Yelyusa's T-35 and Jelimanjaro's A22 Churchill Mk.I. who would not participate in the competition as a university for some reason.

Originally, Kakutani Apricot saw that Jili Mazzaro, who had come gracefully today, brought such a chariot, and complained about why he didn't drive the A45 Centurion, at least the same as the A43 Black Prince in Darjeeling, but Jili Majaro said that he would definitely not be able to use the chariot that the school usually uses as a chariot for the race lane.

Besides, even the A22 Churchill Mk.I. was a second-hand tank of World War II, and at that time it was rapidly outdated and strengthened to the limit according to the standards of Mk.III - the basic layout remained the same, but the thickness of the armor increased, The Mk.III. turret and QF6-pounder gun were replaced, the engine was upgraded, and the 75mm hull gun was retained, although many of the guns were dismantled and replaced with machine guns in history, but the most useless weapon in the combat lane was the machine gun, and the howitzer could be used even if it was a model that could not use armor-piercing shells, and it could also hit a track or something.

The gunner of Jili Majaro is very strong, and the relationship with her is like the relationship between Darjeeling and Assam, in fact, the gunner is also like the commander cos Darjeeling, and he coses Assam. Her gunnery was astounding - she had done what Willissa had only done once at her limit, bouncing off her turret and hitting multiple vehicles with a single shot.

Once, when they were hostile, they actually hit the BT-7A of the Kashiwaha sisters who were racing and were struggling, and the BT-7A was over, and then the shell bounced off the side of the KV-122 turret of Wellisha!

If it weren't for the depth of penetration of the QF6-pounder gun, the trajectory was a little fluttery, and it was easier to be ricocheted by tilted armor and arc armor, and Wellisa, who was her opponent, would really have hit GG. But not necessarily, if Jili Mazzaro was a centurion, then Willisa would have been more careful from the beginning, and if she really could penetrate the attack, Willisa would not have to take it hard.

While waiting for the instructor to use his authority to stuff all the white flags back into the vehicle, two other multi-turret tanks on the same team as Willisa in the previous game drove near the KV-122.

"Even if the tank is downgraded, it's still doing well, Comrade Willissa." Ye Liusha on the T-35 showed her head and praised.

"It's Lady Willisa." The idol chef Miyuya, who is the captain of the sister's group; The outcrop praised.

Ye Liusha's T-35 did not have any outstanding performance, of course, no matter how many turrets there were, they were all infantry weapons, and they could not be too close to the battlefield, so as not to pull hatred from the big block of the tree. But the transition was very fast, because Ye Liusha's crew changed the engine according to the highest standard in history, the horsepower increased by more than sixty percent, and the main gun also replaced the L/16 howitzer with the L-10 field gun according to the largest standard in history, and had a preliminary ability to fight against vehicles.

Another multi-artillery tank is the Type 97 of the sister group, and the reason why it became a multi-gun tank is because before the simulation game, Instructor Kakutani Xingqiu "borrowed" the difference between the sports car that the academy president was crushed into a cake and the combat vehicle that was compensated, and there was also a maintenance point set up by the Combat Lane Alliance near the training ground.

In the face of the Type 97 Shi-Ki, which needs to be strengthened the most at the moment, there are three transformation options considering the parts that can be obtained from the Battle Lane Alliance now-

First, replace the parts in duplicate and upgrade it to the 97 modified medium tank Chi-Ha; Second, replace the Type II parts and upgrade them to the Type II gun combat vehicle Ho-I; Third, the large heptagonal fixed fighting compartment was replaced and upgraded to a three-gun combat vehicle Ho-Ni. There is no shortage of spare parts for such low-level tanks of the country.

Compared with the depth and power of the gun penetration of the Chi-Ha tank in the 97 modification, there is basically no need to consider the later scheme.

The comprehensive combat power of the Type 2 gun tank Ho-I is comparable to that of the Type IV Tank D, but although the Type 2 gun tank is a modification based on the Type 97, the body of the later type is the standard of a Type 1 medium tank, so there is still room for upgrade.

The comprehensive combat power of the three-gun combat vehicle Ho-Ni is comparable to that of the III assault gun F type, and the protection is slightly higher, but considering that the shape of the hull and the distribution of armor are still the Type 97 base, it is not good, so the survivability is not higher than that of the III assault gun.

Obviously, I chose between the two-gun combat vehicle and the three-gun combat vehicle, and generally chose the three-type with greater firepower, but there was a problem - although different models of the same series are allowed to use the hull and turret, but the difference between the fixed fighting compartment and the rotating turret is too big, and it is not easy to do, so I can only buy the two-type parts with a rotating turret but the gun diameter is shorter, and it is not bad to have a rotating turret.

After buying it, I found a new problem - if you want to strengthen the hull according to the standard of the later type of the Type 2 gun combat vehicle, you have to dismantle the hull gun, otherwise the parts to upgrade the body protection cannot be installed, after all, the Type 97 is similar to the Type 1, but there are certain differences. I can't bear to dismantle the artillery.

Fortunately, there is a final trick - the hull of the Type 97 self-howitzer is the standard Type 97 Chi-Ha hull, so it can be upgraded to the later Type 2 Gun Chariot Ho-I combat skill indicators, and the removed 120mm short howitzer turret is mounted on the Type 97 Shi-Ki hull. It was turned into an original combined multi-turret combat vehicle that complied with the rules - the Type 97 self-howitzer Shi-Ki.

Considering the sports character of the volleyball department and the style of the sister's group, the Ho-I, a two-gun combat vehicle that relies on armor-piercing bullets to penetrate deeply, grenade power, moderate loading speed, and relatively suitable for slag and sticking, was given to the volleyball department.

The Type 97 self-howitzer Shi-ki was given to the sister group, although four people operate two guns, especially a 120mm cannon tank, and it is very likely that they will not be busy, but the sisters and nobles are all throwing the shells acrobatic and loading them with one hand, and it must be no problem not to have a special loader.

By the way, the crews that have caused the concealment to become negative due to the painful car have reluctantly restored the chariot's livery.
