Although the German tactics of condensing qi to decoy bombs and washing the ground have been contained, the overall situation has not changed in a practical sense for Nikolay. His gray animals are still struggling on the long front, especially with the follow-up troops.
As German tank troops entered the battlefield on a large scale, the pressure on the Russian troops was increasing.:3w.
Because both sides use the same company's anti-tank guns, the Germans are naturally very aware of the power of the Chinese 25mm anti-tank guns, so the tanks they manufacture using chassis purchased from China are designed to defend against such anti-tank guns.
The target weighs even more than 18 tons after thickening the armor. Unless it is brought within 100 meters, the 25mm anti-tank gun will never be able to penetrate its frontal armor. Although the consequence of this is that the fastest speed is less than 100 meters per hour.
Twenty kilometers, but it is enough as an infantry support weapon.
On the battlefield of Zhitomir, when the first batch of fifty such tanks appeared, the Germans almost broke through the Russian defense line.
On the battlefield that had just been burned by coagulated gas decoys, in the flames of the bomb explosion, the terrifying steel monster suddenly appeared. Under the cover of a large number of infantry, it drove forward slowly and unstoppably. The gray animals in the opposite trench were desperately using their weapons.
One after another combat anti-aircraft guns fired at them, and twenty-five millimeter tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets roared across the battlefield, wiping eye-catching flames on their solid front armor and bouncing off at various angles, and the five or seven tanks on these tanks
The artillery and the mortars supporting them from the rear and even the grenade launchers in the hands of the infantry were constantly attacking the Russian anti-tank artillery.
The German tanks attacking with shells frightened the gray animals. Amidst the whistling of bullets and the explosion of shells, they repeated the action of loading, aiming and shooting again and again, but unfortunately none of the armor-piercing shells could hit the target.
Although these tanks were penetrated, the heavy artillery from the rear destroyed several of them.
Just when these tanks rushed to the Russian defense line, their savior finally arrived. Denikin, who led his men to retreat here, once again appeared on the battlefield with his tank regiment. He was now
The colonel officially served as the regiment commander, but his tanks were not replenished. This type of tank, called Lynx, had to be purchased from China, and it would take time to replenish it.
Thirty-eight tanks rushed out from behind the Russian defense line, ran over the trenches and rushed towards the approaching German tanks. When the distance was only more than 200 meters, they all stopped and aimed at the target and opened fire.
The power of the vehicle cannon was so great that in the first round of firing, four German tanks were penetrated through the frontal armor, and flames poured out from the punctured holes. Some of the ammunition even exploded and blew away the turrets.
At the same time, the German tanks also opened fire, but unfortunately, this tank was designed purely to support infantry. Although the armor was thick enough and the gun caliber was larger, 5-7 mm, it was a short-barreled gun that could attack infantry.
The effect was remarkable, but it was much less effective when used to attack tanks. Although the Germans had a higher hit rate, they hit eight Lynxes, but none of them were destroyed.
Denikin's car was also hit by a shell. But it was not an armor-piercing shell, but a hastily fired anti-personnel bomb. Although he dodged quickly, his eyes were still blackened by the explosion.
Just when he got out of the turret again, the German tanks on the opposite side had begun to retreat. The gap in the effectiveness of the artillery between the two sides made the German commander in charge of the attack sober up. Such a battle would not be good for them. But this time, these things were exposed
The German tank soldiers were unfamiliar with this kind of battle. They did not go back. The reverse gear of these tanks was too slow. It was almost the same as ordinary people walking. In order to get away from the battlefield as quickly as possible, the method they adopted was to turn around and rotate the turret at the same time.
Open fire to block the Russian pursuit.
But this exposed the weakly armored tail, and the pursuing Russian tanks immediately opened fire, and even the anti-tank guns behind them joined the attack. By the time the German commander came to his senses, he had lost almost half of his tanks.
Chariot.
Immediately afterwards, the Russian tanks behind them restarted and took advantage of the high speed to catch up. Fortunately, at this time, the combat artillery and infantry artillery on the opposite German defense line also opened fire at the same time, and then the remaining German tanks covering the attack were withdrawn behind the trenches.
.
This is the first head-on firefight between the tanks of both sides. It can also be said to be the first large-scale tank battle in the history of war. Although there have been several times before, they were all at the single-digit level. The result of this battle
It has had an important impact on the tank tactics of various countries. Of course, this battle can be said to be great news for Chinese arms dealers.
Both sides have fully tested the quality of Chinese products through actual combat. Both Germany and Russia want more bulldozers, and the Germans also hope to get a more powerful version. Their current tank protection performance is very satisfactory, but the speed is too high.
Slow down, the Russians want more Lynx, and Nikolai needs to equip each army with at least one brigade. In addition to tanks and artillery, the performance of the 25mm combat anti-cannon is not enough, and the Russians now want 37
, the performance should at least be no worse than the 37 tank cannon, the Germans also want it, their 25mm anti-tank gun is not very useful when facing the Lynx tank.
"Your Majesty, if this goes on, their chariot technology will become more and more mature. Although they still have to rely on us to supply them, if we sell too many to them, it doesn't seem to be good for our future plans!" Minister Yuan said worriedly.
Said. It should be said that this is the unanimous concern of everyone who knows Emperor Yang’s ambitions. After all, the tanks currently used by China are one level higher than the Lynx. Although they are fast, their tonnage and armor protection capabilities are only the same as those of the Germans.
Tanks are of the same level. It is obvious that Lynx can destroy German tanks head-on, and it can also destroy Chinese tanks.
In this case, if you sell too much to them, there will be trouble in future wars, especially with Russia who is destined to become an enemy. Although it is very comfortable to make money, if you pay a lot of casualties in the future, it will not be worth the gain. After all,
The cost of death and injury benefits for soldiers is also very high.
"There is no need to worry about this problem. Next, our tank factory should replace it with new products. What kind of heavy tank is less than twenty tons? It's just a small toy worth mentioning. Our own heavy tank
It has to be at least thirty tons." Yang Feng said with a smile. In fact, he was not worried about the Tiger. Although the thickness of the armor was about the same, the quality of the armor was much worse. The Lynx's tank cannon was impossible in any case.
As for the Tiger's 57th cannon, which penetrated the front of the Tiger, it had a certain strength even during World War II. To deal with the Bobcats it sold, it can be said that it can be easily destroyed from one kilometer away. This is all based on actual experience.
experimental.
Of course, China's armored divisions must have a heavy tank with overwhelming advantages. At this time, the arsenal in Luoyang has started manufacturing the T34-76. It is estimated that the finished product will be available in another half a year. This type of combat vehicle
The car still has no pressure on China's current technical level, including the 500-horsepower diesel engine, which can be manufactured without the help of the beauty head. If Yang Feng had been struggling for so many years, even Comrade Joseph's technical craftsmanship in the 1930s would have reached the level.
If not, he felt that he should find a place to be killed.
He felt relieved when he said this to Chief Yuan. In fact, he was just showing his loyalty. He also knew that His Majesty the Emperor and his mind could not be unprepared for this kind of thing. Since there was nothing to worry about, then of course this kind of good and profitable business would be necessary.
Continue. However, since China does not currently have these things, it also requires a certain amount of research and development time. Europe still needs to continue to use existing weapons to bleed each other, and because it is not used by China itself, even research and development expenses will require Germany and Russia.
Of course, they will not care about the burden on the country.
However, the tanks that the Russians want can be shipped to them immediately. During this period, the tank factory of Great Wall Heavy Industries worked hard to expand production capacity. Almost half of Luoyang has almost become their factory area. Even so, the output is still the same as that of the Russians.
No, after all, Emperor Yang had stopped expanding the factories in Sweden and the Confederacy at this time, so most of the main production tasks fell on this factory.
As a result, Yang Feng had to build a new production base in Chongqing. As a result, steel became tense again and he could only continue to expand the steel plant. Of course, there was no need for him to build such a steel plant himself. As long as there was market demand, those
The capitalists who got fat from this war will solve it.
"How many thousands of tons of steel were produced last year?" Emperor Yang asked.
"Your Majesty, the data that just came out has exceeded 10 million tons, and the supply is still in short supply. A large number of private steel plants are being built, and many of them even directly dismantled their production lines from the United States." Yuan Shikai laughed when he said this.
But it is very insidious. In fact, it is not just steel. It has become a trend to go to the United States to demolish ready-made factories. The first reaction of Chinese capitalists who want to invest in industry is to see if there are ready-made factories in the United States that can be demolished. Anyway, their factories
At this time, it is either bankrupt or struggling to survive. Instead of letting it rust there, it is better to sell it for pocket money!
According to the speed at which Chinese businessmen are dismantling factories in the United States, the U.S. industry will shrink to the same level as Brazil before this war is over. Last year, their steel production dropped to less than 5 million tons. If trade sanctions continue this year
If this continues, U.S. steel production capacity will continue to shrink, and it is estimated that it is very possible to drop below four million tons. After all, in addition to the embargo, U.S. steel plants also have to withstand the impact of smuggled goods from the Confederacy and China.
"This number is okay, but we still need to continue to work hard. Our goal is to exceed 20 million tons in two years, which can almost support our needs." Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction. As for what needs this meets,
Needless to say. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
