PS: I'm too busy at work, I'm just embarrassed. Well...... How many people can see today's stalks? A certain lieutenant colonel and a certain pioneer should know, but who else are......

"Listen, second lieutenant, the 217 crew will be responsible for sweeping up the fish that have slipped through the net later. Complete. ”

"But, Mr. Lieutenant, we have been ordered ......!!"

The female lieutenant of the armored corps, who will turn 16 in three months, shouted on the radio in disregard of military discipline, and it was obviously a discrimination for a girl who was eager to prove herself to stay at the back of the line.

Multiple discrimination on the basis of gender, seniority, youth, and ethnicity.

"The order of the General Staff to the subordinate officers is ......"

"Test the performance of the prototype Tiger tank, and at the same time submit a written report on the use of armored troops, the coordination of the tank and the infantry, ensign, your commander has a good memory, and there is no need to be reminded. ”

Heisler interrupted coldly, and the metallic male voice continued:

"Discipline, lieutenant. I don't know what the military discipline is like on the side of the Armored Training Corps, or how your commanders communicate with you. But in my company, there are no special circumstances, only "Yes, sir!", "Sorry, sir!", never allowed to interject when the superior is speaking, do you understand?

"Yes, sir!

The loud answers on the radio were swift and powerful, and there was a little reluctance to savor them, and the ageless male soldiers covered their mouths and snickered. It wasn't until Second Lieutenant Erhardt coughed a few times that the GIs fell silent that Lieutenant Heisler was able to seize the time to continue his lecture.

"Listen up, second lieutenant. We must maintain the speed of attack, in the event of a breakdown of car 217, you must first protect yourselves, there will be no chariot to protect you except the grenadier brothers. Listen clearly and protect yourself. That's an order. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The unhappiness didn't completely subside from Nona's answer, and the lieutenant only closed the line with a wry smile. Glancing at the thick and long pipe on the big chariot, he lamented how the top could stuff this live treasure car into his company and let a group of delicate girls suck in the oil-smelling air and aim it at a group of stinky men?

"Energetic rebellious child......"

"The Armored Teaching Corps gave them a message of "I will do everything I can to defeat the 188-ton super heavy tank in a medium tank", "I aim to become an Iron Maiden. The crew that may become the god of armored warfare is not a rebellious child, Lord Lieutenant. ”

"The rating couldn't be higher. They're just a bunch of girls, not to mention the iron lumps they drive......"

With a bitter sigh, Heisler turned the periscope, and Dr. Porsher's [masterpiece] magnified in front of his eyes.

Tiger heavy tank - Bolscher, collectively known as Tiger P.

Compared to the standard 45 tons, the weight of this prototype model has increased by a full 20 tons, and the 65-ton [Heavy Breakthrough Vehicle] looks a lap larger than the standard model. It's very majestic. But after a few days of marching, none of the armored soldiers who retreated from the novelty had a good impression of this big guy.

It is easy to sink into the soil, it is always malfunctioning, and it is easy to overload and catch fire......

It wasn't meant to be used for combat at all, it was purely for torturing maintenance personnel. It's also a shame that those female soldiers can actually repair vehicles while the tanks are moving. The men who persevered all the way here, convinced that "war makes women go away", praised it unreservedly. At the same time, he also scolded Dr. Polscher, who was a technical genius who designed the [National Car] and various sports cars with shocking prices and speeds, and actually made such a monster that made people's hearts tremble. When this operation is over, you must use the 88 cannon to ask the doctor to explain Yunyun well......

The root of the problem lies in the Wehrmacht's pursuit of the limits of the technical performance of the bike, and the most important of these is undoubtedly artillery.

Whether it is the 88mm/L56 of the Tiger, the 75mm/L60 of the Leopard, or the 88mm/L71 of the Cheetah, in front of the 105mm/L68 of the Tiger P, they are all reduced to the toy level, at a distance of about 2000 meters, if the main gun of the Tiger P uses a high-speed armor-piercing bullet with a cap tungsten core nicknamed [Gold Coin Bullet] to hit the target, whether it is a standard Tiger heavy tank or a Leopard medium tank, it will be pierced head-on!

In order to carry this giant cannon, the Tiger turret seat had to be enlarged, in order to balance the weight, the turret was moved back, the chassis had to be overhauled, and the original single-row large-diameter double-rim load-bearing wheels were replaced with multiple sets of single-row load-bearing wheels with a staggered layout, the track width should also be enlarged, and the armor should be reinforced......

After a nightmare makeover, the Tiger P Heavy finally made its debut, and based on the argument that it proved its performance in a real battle, the technical department and the military top brass threw it into the operation to prove its worth with a pleasant hunt.

The front-line troops did not see anything good about this malfunctioning toy, and they unscrupulously ridiculed Dr. Polscher and his hard work.

"Aside from the gears, I really can't find any advantages of the Iron King Eight than the previous real yàn car. ”

The driver, Sergeant Mandol, couldn't help but complain that the five-speed gearbox of the early heavy combat vehicles was often difficult to shift, so the driver often brought his own small hammer to knock into the gear. And because of the layout of the Mana engine in the rear and in front of the transmission, the propeller shaft runs through the entire chassis, forcing the body height to rise, which increases the difficulty of production. To this end, the design team has made targeted overhauls, switching to electric transmission to output power to the driving wheels.

The transmission efficiency of the old mechanical gearbox is about 88~90%, and the total efficiency of the electric transmission device with large volume and weight and high cost is only 76%, but the other side of the coin is that compared with the traditional mechanical transmission device, due to the uniform torque output, the reliability is relatively high, and the continuous automatic transmission and steering function has been praised by the drivers of heavy combat vehicles for a time on the electric transmission system that can realize continuously variable speed and stepless steering.

Of course, Tiger P also uses electric transmission, but due to the overweight of the body, the rotor unit overload spontaneous combustion accidents have occurred repeatedly. The self-detonation of the Tiger P ammunition depot is not a strange thing.

A commander in his right mind would never use such a bulky, complex, and limited-cost fool to participate in offensive operations, and this kind of monster does not need to work hard, just honestly act as a mobile battery.

"The time is almost up. ”

Glancing at the two fluoresce-coated needles of his pocket watch, Lieutenant Colonel Heisler scrambled out of the turret basket and took a deep breath of fresh, slightly cold air, and he could already see the light of the hussars' torches lit for the charge.

Holding the pocket watch in his left hand, the lieutenant colonel raised his right hand high and began the final mobilization.

"Attention of the 1st Company of the 503rd Heavy Armored Battalion!"

The adrenaline of all the soldiers began to be pumped in large quantities, the breath of the vehicle idling almost ignited the air, and the headphones emitted the countdown of the top commander on the scene.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Battle Fortress Launched!!"

"Chariot, forward!" (Panzer.Vor!)"

With a heavy swing of their right hand, the steel behemoths poked out their claws with this powerful movement.

On that day, for the first time, humans heard the roars of tigers. (To be continued.) )
