Chapter 1235: 1236 Spear of the Empire

Liu Guozhu is playing with his new toy: a new tank equipped with an automatic loader. Its explosion suppression system has been strengthened, which is also a necessary design to protect the crew.

 The brand new tank has one less loader, so the heavy daily maintenance work of the armored tank unit can only be done by the remaining three people.

 They must regularly clean the gun barrel, check the tracks, and have all electronic equipment powered on and tested to complete the calibration.

The cost of the entire tank's ballistic computer may be more complicated than that of a tank in other countries. It can provide accurate data to ensure the first hit.

 The roulette-like ammunition feeder looks very beautiful, with shells of various colors on it, representing various different functions.

Without a loader, the tank can quickly load artillery shells under any circumstances, and the rate of fire can be guaranteed even in off-road maneuvers. The brand-new tank can use up its own ammunition reserves within ten minutes, which was not possible in the past. Something that cannot be done.

  The new artillery also has a reliable smoke extraction device. This system can keep the air inside the tank fresh, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the tank crew.

 In the past, tank smokers could only work when the inside of the tank was filled with smoke and dust, which itself was very inefficient.

A device installed on the barrel that uses negative pressure to remove the smoke and dust from the burning propellant in the gun barrel. It does not need to wait for the inside of the tank to be filled with smoke and dust before starting to work. This design alone can greatly improve the combat efficiency of the tank crew. .

 As an ace tank commander, Liu Guozhu gave up many opportunities for promotion. This makes him only a small platoon leader until now, commanding five Type 64 main battle tanks.

He likes the feeling of controlling a tank and scorns the command method of sitting at the rear. In his opinion, a real warrior should drive a tank to break through the enemy's defense line with overwhelming force, kill all opponents in the way, and become the sharpest spear in the empire.

The strength of the armored forces of the Tang Empire is steadily improving. A large number of 59 tanks, coupled with the elite 64 tanks, this combination is far ahead of its time.

The infantry, which is almost mechanized, can easily keep up with the advancing speed of tank troops. If the blitzkrieg of San Dezi in World War II emphasized a tachyon, then the armored soldiers of the Tang Empire were even faster!

 In the opinion of the senior commanders of the Tang Empire, street fighting can almost be avoided in future large-scale battles. The opponent had no time to turn important cities into fortified areas, and would be crushed to pieces by the tracks of the Tang Empire's armored forces.

 And Liu Guozhu thought that he was the one who led the troops to open the gap first and kept moving forward bravely!

Another person who wants to be the sharpest spear is sitting in the small cockpit at this moment, giving a thumbs up to the ground crew next to him.

 The nose landing gear of his plane is very thick, and it has been hung on a special device at this time. The jet's nose was pointed at the bow of the aircraft carrier, and its tail flames had begun to billow and evaporate.

The ground crew knelt down on one knee, threw out their palms, and made a forward slash. In an instant, the F4 Phantom fighter fixed on the catapult was pushed out of the aircraft carrier's deck by the catapult.

The acceleration at this moment is very huge, so pilots usually have to hold on to the handles on both sides to adapt to the huge overload.

Two engines roared to push the aircraft into the distance. The slightly clumsy Phantom fighter was actually just a transitional model for the Navy's rush to launch jet fighters. Of course, Tang Mo would not easily give up the long-awaited big cat. Now that the Navy has lit up the technology tree of aircraft carriers, Tomcats are an unavoidable topic.

These days, fighting ability is temporary, but being handsome is really a lifelong thing. There is no teenager who does not dream of flying a Tomcat fighter jet to soar in the sky, and no one will refuse the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Tomcat fighter jet.

 It is a truly heavy-duty carrier-based fighter with long-range interception capabilities beyond the times. No matter which direction you look at it, it is much more majestic than its predecessors and successors.

Compared to the Tomcat, the F4 Phantom is simply a clown. It is too ugly and its performance is actually not very mature.

Likewise, the Hornet fighter jet that succeeded the Tomcat is just a plastic toy in every aspect. It is the product of the self-castration of the US Navy, an invincible and lonely Fangma Nanshan.

In fact, Tang Mo also likes the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet very much. He feels that he can use this aircraft first until his Flying Shark catapult type is put on the ship, or the Falcon begins to serve.

  There is no way, appearance is combat effectiveness. Just taking a look at the F-14 fighter jet, you will know that it is a terrifying war machine. It and its supporting weapons and equipment were the ceiling of carrier-based fighter jets in the 1980s.

There were no flying sharks in that era. A Tomcat capable of carrying super-heavy Phoenix air-to-air missiles would cover the sky with one hand.

Sun Rui controlled the ejected F-4 Phantom fighter jet and began to climb, skimming the sea and passing a new guided missile destroyer that was on guard.

The radar on the destroyer is constantly rotating, and there are many antennas for electronic equipment around it, as well as fully automatic naval guns, which makes the entire fleet look more modern.

The Black Shadow Helicopter Navy hovering nearby saw the plane go away and finally shook its body: its mission was to rescue the pilot who fell into the water after the ejection failed. Now that the mission is over, it can get out of the way. .

This was the first time Lu Qianshan saw such a scene. He had never dared to imagine such a scene in the past: more than ten years ago, he did not even believe that people could fly into the sky.

Now, he actually saw with his own eyes a twin-engine jet fighter roaring into the distant sky.

"It's so spectacular!" He put down the telescope and looked at the staff officer beside him: "It's really unimaginable."

"Yeah, I was shocked when I saw the propeller plane taking off from the aircraft carrier. I didn't expect...I can actually see it now..." While the staff officer was talking, an E-2 early warning aircraft was ejected. The huge aircraft it was carrying The disc attracted Lu Qianshan's attention.

“Is this the latest secret weapon?” Lu Qianshan asked, looking at the huge disk.

"Yes, with it...our planes...one can be used as three! Moreover, the enemy's planes...have nowhere to hide from now on." The staff officer replied confidently.
