When thirty tanks rushed to the position, even those veterans withdrew from the trenches subconsciously, but a small number still tried to attack the tanks with grenades, because it was impossible for the people on the training tanks to attack them with weapons.
, so there was still a smart soldier who stuffed the grenade into the track. With an explosion, the track of the tank broke off and rushed forward for a moment before stopping in place. This article was originally published by..
In fact, by this time, the exercise was over. Except for this one, all the other twenty-nine tanks easily passed through the trenches. If it was a real battle, it was obvious that the defenders were being attacked by them at this time.
massacre.
This exercise is tantamount to a baptism of souls for both the generals and the soldiers who are about to drive these tanks. The unstoppable attack of these steel monsters has destroyed the defense system that they were once proud of.
It turned into a joke. They really couldn't figure out what to use to stop their advance. Although theoretically they also destroyed a tank, it was obvious that in actual combat, the soldier would definitely not be able to use the grenade.
Stuffed into the tracks, the machine gun on the tank would easily turn his bravery into foolishness.
At this time, the soldier was standing in panic next to the tank whose tracks had been blown off by himself. Many people, including Nie Xianfan, were gathered there. The technicians who came out of the tank were checking the tracks, and then took out tools and spare parts.
Accessories begin to be reattached.
"There is nothing wrong with what you did. Although on the real battlefield, you will still be killed by a machine gun before getting close to the tank, but at least you have found a way to deal with it, and this method is feasible, so you will still get the reward.
, If you are not a honored subject yet, then I will confer you as a honored subject as the emperor!" Emperor Yang walked over and said majestically, showing off his imperial virtues.
The soldier quickly saluted excitedly. You must know that the status of a honorary citizen is not only an honor, it also brings political status. One-third of the seats in the House of Lords belong to the honorary members elected by them alone. Currently, the nation's honorary citizens
The number is only one million, and these one million people have the same political rights as 400 million civilians.
"The track is indeed the main weakness of the tank. When you don't have weapons specifically to deal with it, it is the most effective means of attack. Of course, it is also the bravest method. You must learn to use it more intelligently. For example, although the tank is powerful,
It's powerful, but its observation window is very small. Sometimes the soldiers inside can't be seen in many places. If you rush over from its blind spot, there won't be any danger. Of course, this assumes that there are no infantry behind the tank.
Protection. In addition, you can hide yourself first, and then rush out when the tank passes by. There is also a grenade that is too weak. At most, it will blow up the track, but if you stuff a five-kilogram bomb into it,
A medicine pack or a bundle of grenades will definitely have a different effect." Emperor Yang enthusiastically taught the soldiers how to fight tanks.
The broken tracks of the tank were quickly reattached and then started to rejoin the team. Then these thirty tanks performed a separate artillery and machine gun shooting performance. Especially the artillery's use of armor-piercing projectiles to attack the reinforced concrete fortress.
, a newly built reinforced concrete fortress was instantly pierced by an armor-piercing projectile. The 57mm shell hit directly from the front, piercing two 30cm thick reinforced concrete walls. Then it flew out from the back and killed a thigh-thick tree by the way.
The pine tree interrupted.
Everyone was speechless as they looked at the holes in the wall.
"This kind of artillery shell is an armor-piercing projectile, specially used to attack enemy tanks. If it is an ordinary armored steel plate with a thickness of less than 100 millimeters, it can directly penetrate within 500 meters. Think about it. Even if the enemy can create a tank,
If you encounter our tigers on a chariot, you will only end up being slaughtered. Of course, it is difficult to see the power of such artillery shells when used on reinforced concrete fortresses." Yang Feng said with a smile.
Isn’t this enough to show its power? A bunch of generals couldn’t help but complain.
In fact, Emperor Yang had already discovered that he had made a mistake at this time. The configuration of using smoothbore cannon and armor-piercing projectiles was not suitable for his tank combat environment. After all, there was no opponent worthy of attacking with a 5-7 mm tank gun at this time, even in Europe.
The great powers have also built tanks. I am afraid that a 25mm cannon is enough to deal with them. However, reinforced concrete fortresses and ordinary infantry will be the main targets of the Tiger tanks in the future.
In this case, a short-barreled large-caliber rifled gun and armor-breaking ammunition are the best configuration. This guy immediately decided to modify the next batch of tanks. With the tonnage of the Tiger tank, there is no pressure to install a 75-gun.
, or even the 88-gun can almost be installed. Anyway, the range does not need to be too far, it is just to reduce the firing charge. In this way, you can use grenades to deal with infantry, armor-breaking shells to deal with reinforced concrete fortresses, and even light armored targets.
In addition, we will continue to build the smoothbore gun version of the Tiger tank. Once more troublesome opponents appear on the battlefield, they can be replaced. Although the 57th gun has strong armor-piercing capabilities, its caliber is slightly smaller after all, and it can attack infantry with grenades.
The effect is definitely not as good as the 75 guns.
But what if there are two cannons?
Emperor Yang immediately understood that his thoughts were actually bound by habits. After all, when he was playing tanks, he had already reached the level of blitzkrieg. But in the combat environment at this time, it was obvious that some things he despised were actually very useful.
For example, the Charr, which was once a symbol of backwardness, although this thing is too heavy, it is still perfectly acceptable if used in the northern battlefield. Of course, if he wants to make it, he cannot really make the Charr. What he really needs is the pair of Charr.
Gun design.
Using the 300-horsepower engine and hydraulic coupling gearbox of the Tiger tank, the entire tank was raised by changing the shape of the body, and then a small turret was designed. The 57-mm cannon is definitely not needed, 37 mm is enough.
, and then install an additional 75-gun on the front of the car body. As for the side radiator like Shire, it is definitely not necessary. After such transformation, even if the thickness of the front armor is not changed, the total weight will increase
At 30 tons, it’s definitely not as fast as 55, but I guess 30 won’t make much difference.
As for how to change it, that is the job of the Great Wall Heavy Industries engineers. It just gives them a chance to practice. Let them first transform the cannon version of the Tiger, and then continue to develop the double-cannon tank. Anyway, let them slowly
No matter what you toss about, it is enough to crush others in this era.
Emperor Yang was still confident about this.
After returning to Beijing, this guy did something that irritated the hearts of the British. The road engineering company under the Yang Group officially signed a contract with the Ottoman Empire to build a hundred-year-long road in Baghdad for the Ottoman Empire.
Kilometers of highway, of course, this is nothing. This company has obtained multiple infrastructure construction contracts in the Ottoman Empire, including part of the Baghdad railway under construction. What is important is the starting and ending points of this highway.
The starting point is the Baghdad Railway Station currently controlled by Imperial Oil, and the end point is the Ramadi Railway Station, which is under construction and owned by the Baghdad Railway Company. This is the maximum acceptable to the British. After all, if it is really like what Yang Feng designed
, directly building the Baghdad Railway to Baghdad would be a slap in the British face. Hamid II did not have the confidence to do so. In the end, the compromise between the two parties was to locate the Baghdad Railway terminal in Ramadi, leaving a
With the 100-kilometer buffer zone, Britain's face looks better.
Moreover, when Hamid II compromised with the British, he did say that he would build a road between the two places. The British did not have any objections to this. After all, it was their own territory and they were not allowed to do so.
Building railways is still justifiable, but it would be a bit unreasonable to not let others build roads. Besides, there is a road between Ramadi and Baghdad. In the British mind, they are just widening the road.
, at most it should be paved with asphalt, but what is this highway now?
"This is a brand-new transportation concept invented by me. It is a fully enclosed heavy-duty highway that allows cars to shuttle back and forth at the fastest speed. In my opinion, its significance to human transportation is absolutely no less than that of railways.
"The invention of this invention, can you imagine a truck carrying more than ten tons speeding on the highway at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour? When I think of the significance of this invention, sometimes even I feel a sense of pride." Emperor Yang said with uncontrollable emotion.
Said excitedly to Sa Daoyi who came to consult.
Sa Daoyi almost spit out blood. What's the difference between a truck carrying more than ten tons and a wagon? The speed of 100 per hour is faster than a train. Fully closed means that there will be no pedestrians blocking the intersection, and cars can drive on most roads.
It maintains this speed most of the time, no wonder it is called a highway. According to his design, the drive from Baghdad to Ramadi is only one hour at most. As for the transport capacity, it is just a matter of the number of cars.
There is no need for Hamid II to buy more than a thousand trucks to basically meet the current problem of Germany diverting the crude oil imported from Imperial Oil to ports along the Mediterranean coast. The Suez Canal, the most important blockade route in the British plan, has become a joke. If
If the Austro-Hungarian Empire performs better and takes Serbia directly, then even the Mediterranean blockade will become a joke, and the German oil can be continuously transported by rail from the Middle East.
Although Imperial Oil is still managed by the British, Yang Feng, Hamid II, and the Persian royal family together account for more than half of the shares. It is conceivable that since they have worked so hard, they are already ready.
After the war started, those who made war profits from Germany would never ban the export of crude oil to Germany because of the opposition of Baron Rothschild and Crown Prince Victor. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
