Generally speaking, tanks only take long distances in battle. Nowadays, it is best to use a trailer for pre-war mobilization. Although it is wasteful of the transportation power of the vehicle, fuel consumption will save a lot.
Especially this M1 tank, which is loaded with 1,900 liters of fuel, with a maximum range of only 460 kilometers. If you divide these two numbers, you can get a 100 kilometers of 400 liters of fuel consumption rate.
, and the heavy trucks now can reach about 40 liters per 100 kilometers, so the fuel burned is ten times that of automobile transportation.
This is just a comparison of fuel consumption. If we consider that it uses a gas turbine and needs to consume aviation fuel, the price will be increased ten times. It can be said that Americans spend a hundred times the price.
of.
That's it.
Just as Qin Zhenhua sighed, Nie Qianqian on the side said: "All the fuel in this military operation is provided by our current country."
This sentence made Qin Zhenhua understand that it turned out that what he was burning was not his own oil!
If the oil is not burned, then what else can I say? Use it vigorously. Moreover, there is another advantage in this way, that is, it can adapt to the desert environment in advance. It is probably the first time that American tanks have come to the desert environment.
When fighting inside, it is not clear whether their tanks can adapt to desert conditions, so now we need to adapt in advance. After running these hundreds of kilometers, we will naturally become familiar with each other.
This is a killing of multiple goals, provided that burning oil does not cost money.
While we were talking, we saw the galloping force suddenly stopped. Everyone was puzzled. Seeing that the camp was only ten kilometers away, did we still drive over in one breath?
Then, in the camp, one after another, the tanker trucks started to move out. Looking at the figures of the vehicles, Qin Zhenhua felt a little funny: "They burned all the fuel more than ten kilometers away from their destination, and they still needed oil.
The tank truck is here to refuel, let's go and take a look."
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Wang Erzhu hesitated a little: "Will they allow us to get close?"
After all, it is an army, and it is an army that is about to be put into the battlefield. Such an army will definitely not be allowed to enter. Will it bring unnecessary trouble if one approaches the past?
"What if he doesn't matter, go and take a look first. If you look at everything, how can you interview valuable news?" Nie Qianqian said, pushing the steering wheel, driving the car, driving off the road, and heading into the desert.
When borrowing a car, there are almost all off-road vehicles here just to be able to drive easily in the desert.
As a news practitioner, Nie Qianqian has always been bold and has no courage, so she can do news. At this time, Nie Qianqian's face was calm and she headed towards the other party's tank troops.
If the other party shows malicious intentions, they will intercept them in advance. As long as the other party does not intercept, then continue to get closer. While observing the other party, Nie Qianqian continues to get closer.
If it were later generations, the US team would often be attacked by car bombs or roadside bombs. At that time, the US team would be extremely cautious, but now, that kind of tactic has not yet been circulated.
And now, it is in a safe country, so the American soldiers are not wary of it now. On the contrary, since they are not popular in this country, they are always careful in everything they do, fearing that they will not do anything.
Suitable, it stimulated the locals here.
Now, seeing a car coming, the commander of the tank unit, James, exposed half of his body on the tank, shouted to the opposite side: "Hey, what do you want to do?"
Without pointing the gun at the opposite side, there was no malice. James just felt strange, why did the other party approach him?

The off-road vehicle was hung with a local license plate, so he maintained enough restraint. He watched the car approaching dozens of meters away from his tank, and stopped. In the car, an oriental girl walked down.
: "Hello Uncle Sam, I am a reporter from the East. I want to interview your troops. I wonder if it is possible?"
When he heard the name Uncle Sam, James smiled. This title obviously made him very useful. As for the interview... he looked at the troops around him, and was waiting to cheer on and there was nothing to do, so
He nodded: "Of course, but if you want to take photos, you can only take pictures outside and don't enter the inside of our tank."
So easy to talk about?
Hearing this, Nie Qianqian's face suddenly felt happy, and she shouted in English to the car: "Comrades, it's work!"
There are many oriental people, in addition to the great oriental powers, there are also island countries. Now, the other party obviously has not carefully investigated the identities of these people. If you interview, you will only take pictures of the appearance of the tank and will not leak the secrets. James agreed.
Moreover, this is just right to promote the strong combat effectiveness of the US team. Since the Vietnam War, the US team has lost confidence. They now need to show themselves to the outside world and constantly build confidence.
Qin Zhenhua, Wang Erzhu and others also knew that at this time, of course, they could not reveal their identity. If it were from the Oriental Large ** factory, the other party would probably refuse to interview.
So, Qin Zhenhua carried the camera, Wang Erzhu picked up the tripod, Wang Xiaoyu grabbed the microphone, and several people dressed up the reporter team, which looked quite similar.
"May I ask, are you the commander of this army?" James frowned a little when he saw a few more people coming down. He didn't expect that so many people from the other party came to interview him. Could it be that he had ulterior motives? However, after hearing Nie Qianqian's words, he said
Seeing that the camera had been mounted, Nie Qianqian came over with a microphone, so James could only show the confidence of the Americans.
"Yes, we are Company C, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment." James said: "Our 2nd Battalion is equipped with three companies' M1 main battle tanks, as well as three battalions of M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. We are one
The combat strength of the battalion is equivalent to an armored division of the Iraqi team. If we encounter tanks from Iraq on the battlefield, we will use our own tank guns to destroy them!"
As he said that, he pointed to the back of himself. The barrel of the M1 tank looked thin and short, and it was completely incompatible with the huge body and turret.
