Chapter 334 335 Negative Textbook"Stand up! Gentlemen! Our refills are here!" An officer knocked on the door , shouted to the listless men in the barracks.
A group of soldiers lifted the head, looked towards their officer who was standing at the door, and their faces were full of curiosity.
The 201st Armored Division lost more than half of the battle in the Battle of Ferry City and was no longer able to fight, but they also received awards from the higher authorities, and many generals were impressed that their troops could stick to the defensive line.
Because of this, they were given priority to get battle-damaged weapons and equipment in the latest supplementary materials.
Tony and his comrades wriggled their sore necks, got up from their beds, and walked to the door together.
They are all waiting for their new weapons and equipment. I heard that they are much better than the M4 tanks and have adopted many new technologies.
Of course, seeing is believing, and soon, walking out of the room and passing by the grass full of sea sand, they saw the tanks replenished to them, neatly parked on the playground.
"What is that? Isn't it an improved version of the M4 tank?" The gunner frowned, looking towards the tank parked there, with a shocked expression on his face.
For him, the thing in front of him is not the same type of tank as the tank he is familiar with, and even...the shape is a little too different.
"Of course it's not an improved version of the M4 tank. Now the Army's M4 tank has stopped being equipped, and what is produced now is all material assistance for the allies." Standing on the playground High Level soldiers came to receive weapons Equipped officer with hands behind his back and laughing introduced.
He is here responsible for introducing new weapons and equipment to these old tank soldiers who receive new equipment. After the equipment is handed over, there will be real instructors to train these old tank soldiers and let them master the new weapons. How to use weapons.
Tony didn't speak, he just walked over to the new tank that was completely different from the M4 tank, and stroked the magic inscription on the tank.
Updated Magic Defense Barrier, which is also more beautifully placed on the front armor plate. These inscriptions form a complete pattern, and the sides and back of the tank are not blessed with such inscriptions as usual.
The thick barrel makes people happy at first sight. After all, Tony has experienced the power of the M4 tank on the battlefield - if possible, he really hopes to replace one. A more powerful gun.
Now, more powerful artillery has been installed on top of this new type of tank, and it is exciting to just look at it!
"The leap in firepower of this tank is simply subversive! The improved 90mm caliber long-barreled tank gun from the M4 tank has been strengthened into an unimaginable 125mm caliber long-barreled gun. Tank gun!" The officer on the side stood beside Tony and explained.
These weapons and equipment were specially approved by the superior to be reserved for the 201st Tank Division. I heard that even the emperor Your Majesty praised the division's combat performance in Ferry City.
Under this background, the officers who handed over weapons in front of them are also willing to give more technical explanations to the officers and soldiers of this division. Compared with reading the manual, such explanations will undoubtedly be more vivid. many.
When I heard that this tank was equipped with a 125mm caliber gun, the gunner's eyes suddenly became active. He was a direct beneficiary of this improvement, and the more powerful the artillery, the more confident he was in destroying his target.
And, when he heard that the range of this new tank gun has increased to more than 1500 meters, the smile on his face was even stronger.
It seems that the sacrifices of the frontline tank soldiers are not in vain! The superior has indeed improved the tank, so that the new tank has a more powerful firepower system.
"This tank uses a special sandwich armor material, and the thickness of the front of the car body is about 200 mm - there is no weapon that can penetrate the frontal armor of this tank, plus the latest Magic defense barrier, defensive can be very good." Seeing that Tony didn't speak, the officer continued to talk about the data of this tank.
This data can be said to be very amazing. You must know that the frontal armor of the M4 tanks used by the previous Alanhill armored troops is only 50 mm thick in most cases.
And now, with the service of the new tank, the thickness of this frontal armor has jumped to 200 mm, which is four times the original.
Such a thickness of armor can no longer be described as excellent, because now all of Alanhill's enemies seem to have no weapons that can penetrate the front armor of this new tank frontally.
"The frontal armor of the turret of the tank is thicker, with a thickness of more than 400 mm! It is simply a wall made of steel, which is more than five times the thickness of the frontal armor of the M4 tank turret!" Tony sighed with emotion in his mind When the armor protection performance of this kind of tank is so unbelievable, the officers around him are still showing off the excellent performance of this kind of tank.
If the word against the sky is used to describe the front front armor of the new tank, then the adjective to describe the thickness of the turret armor can only use the word invincible.
What is even more depressing is that the thickness of the side armor of this new tank is almost the same as the thickness of the frontal armor of the active M4 tank. This means that the armor protection of the entire tank is almost invulnerable.
"The new tank uses torsion bar suspension, which has better performance and better ride comfort than the spring suspension of the M4 tank!" When the suspension was introduced, the expression on the officer's face was more proud.
After all, the suspension of this tank is very good. The reason why the torsion bar suspension has become the mainstream suspension choice for modern main battle tanks is naturally very obvious.
The change of the suspension is not the point, the point is that this new tank has also replaced the stronger and more reliable diesel power system.
Therefore, when the officer talked about the speed performance of this tank, he began to be very excited: "The super diesel engine close to 800 horsepower can make this tank climb vertically up to a vertical height of nearly one meter. On the wall, each hour can go off-road for more than 35 kilometers, and the absolute mobility is beyond the table!"
You know, this means that the defense has been increased by at least four times, and the defense has been doubled. Speed - whether on-road or off-road!
It is precisely because of this that Tony, who heard these data, looked towards the other party with incredible eyes, and opened his mouth to confirm: "True or false? Not bragging?"
"This set of data was actually measured, and it was tested in the most severe test environment! Basically, it's the field performance data of this kind of tank!" The officer glanced at Tony contemptuously, and Fiercely emphasized .
In his opinion, Tony, a native of the countryside, would not understand the power of Alanhill's sophisticated and sophisticated technology. So he paused and waited for Tony and his crew to get used to these exaggerated data before continuing to say: "Of course, the most powerful thing is that the various new equipment used in this tank has improved dozens of times. The combat capability of this tank!"
"See this? Night vision goggles are standard equipment for this tank, and you can also drive this tank to fight at night. In bad weather conditions, you can also Use the night vision device to see the target 500 meters away!" The officer pointed to the infrared searchlight and continued to talk to Tony.
Because of the cost and the lack of countermeasures, this brand new tank is not equipped with low-light night vision goggles, and uses a mature and inexpensive infrared night vision system.
"Equipped with 10 smoke generators, it can immediately form smoke around the tank to cover the tank's retreat or attack." The officer little by little introduced the equipment on the new tank, and everyone was elated.
"What's more, this tank is equipped with an artillery stabilization system, which allows it to fire while traveling, and the hit rate is very exaggerated. Even in motion, the hit rate of the first shell is also the M4 tank. At least double the hit rate of stop fire!" His words made the gunner more excited.
Then, the officer briefly introduced the electronic fire control system of the new tank: "The tank is equipped with a crosswind sensor and a ballistic computer, and the commander can fire directly."
For so many new equipment, everyone needs to adapt, but Tony still thinks that this new type of tank, the shape is too low, it seems that it can't fit five members at all.
"Because of the installation of an automatic loader, this newly designed T-72 tank can pour 8 shells in one minute, and an average of 7 seconds can launch a shell to attack the enemy!" Sure enough! , The next second the officer talked about the thing that puzzled Tony.
"Autoloader?" Tony froze for a moment, then suddenly realized something, looking towards the loader whose expression had changed.
"That's right, the new tanks are loaded with autoloaders, which are safe and fast... So, there's no need for a loader."
"Also, Since the Wireless Electronics unit is already very reliable, the mechanic has also taken it off."
"What about my crew?" Tony asked worriedly.
"They will retrain and then be assigned to another armored division to serve as a commander or driver." The officer knew a lot and replied.
Hearing that the mechanic and the loader are going to be promoted, Tony's face brightened a little, then turned around, hugged the mechanic and the loader, and gave each other an encouraging look .
"Okay! All the loaders in the crew, as well as the electromechanical operators! Gather over there! You will be assigned to another tank battalion, still belonging to the 201st division! Don't be nervous!" In the distance, another officer who saw that the explanation was almost finished, shouted with a loudspeaker.
Although they were reluctant to give up, these mechatronics and loader still had to obey the order to gather at the designated location, and the rest started to check their new equipment.
Tony climbed onto the tank and touched the cold, thick and reassuring armor, not knowing what it was like.
Just now, he lost two soldiers. Now his crew consists of only three people including him. It was uncomfortable, but he still couldn't change what had happened.
Yes, after selecting the M48 and M60 tanks, Alanhill finally chose a simplified version of the T-64 tank, the famous T-72 tank, and began mass production.
There are many advantages of this tank, but the two most valued by the senior management of Alanhill are the reduction of members and the low price.
The cost of the T-72 tank is very low, and the production is relatively convenient, adhering to the rough style of Soviet tanks. Although there is a lack of security after being hit, the performance in other aspects is balanced enough.
Yes, most of the time, things are so brutal. Soldiers on the front line often don't get the best weapons and equipment, and they get mediocre works that, after trade-offs, reduce performance and increase other advantages.
Although the T-72 tank is not as advanced as the T-64 tank, its simplicity and cheapness make Alanhill's executives adore it.
What makes them even more happy is that this new tank can save two human resources, which is very valuable in a war environment.
On the one hand, after a tank is completely destroyed, the number of people lost plummets by two-fifths. On the other hand, with the same 5,000 people, if you drive an M4 tank, you can only control 1,000 tanks, and if you drive a T-72 tank, you can control 1,666 tanks! A full 666 more!
In the eyes of these high-level executives, it is not unacceptable for such a thing to be sacrificed compared to so many benefits. What they want is to maintain an absolute number of tanks in a certain campaign direction.
Of course, even the T-72 tank has improved safety performance compared to the M4 tank. At least, the thickness of the armor has increased by more than 4 times, and this T-72 tank is more difficult to be penetrated and destroyed.
Tony at this moment can't think so far, and can't think so thoroughly. He just caressed and observed his tank, looked at the novel equipment, and the interior space that was not very spacious compared to the M4, looked thoughtful.
The new tank turret is an irregular hemisphere that resembles half an egg. There are only two entrances and exits, and there are some instruments on it.
One of the latest 12.7mm machine guns has a simple remote control that is directly controlled by the commander, who still has a coaxial machine gun that belongs to him.
The most conspicuous slender barrel looks powerful, and it is said that there is a reliable smoking device, which can greatly improve the air environment inside the tank.
These are very important ergonomic improvements for the crew members of a tank, which can greatly improve the combat capability of the tank unit.
Of course, Tony still doesn't know that the top gentleman tank of Earth civilization has the magical existence of air conditioners and coffee stoves...
Comparatively speaking, this Planting a T-72 tank, which he thought was perfect, was a negative teaching material that ignored ergonomics...
At this moment, the T-72 tank, which was actually just a transitional product, was in Alanhill More than a dozen tank factory production lines are manufactured one by one. ►
Here comes a big chapter, um, the Army is starting to dress up...
