Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh lunatic driving a tank
The 59-1 and 59-2 tanks did not work hard on protection.
The 59 tank, a generation of tanks, has almost all kinds of firepower, maneuverability, and protection. The original 100mm rifled gun had a depth of only 140mm. It can be said that it cannot even penetrate its own armor. After all, the thickest gun shield of its own tank is 220mm.
The 520-horsepower engine is just enough. For tankers, following the third generation of tanks, they can only eat dust from the back. With the protection power, the thickest part is 220 mm, and there is no room for survival in front of the 105-mm rifled gun that passes through the depth of more than 300 mm.
But now, if you want to improve the 59 tank, the first thing you need to consider is firepower. After all, putting mobile protection aside and not changing the firepower will be useless if the tank goes to the battlefield. If it cannot penetrate the enemy tank, it is a fire stick.
So, first, I replaced the 105mm rifled gun and cooperated with the advanced armor-piercing bombs produced by my side. The power of it increased. It was a good idea to use the improved 580-horsepower diesel engine. But now, the only thing that has been shown is the unadded protection.
The protection of the tank is reflected by its own armor. The 59 tank is already like that. It is not easy to add an extra layer of armor.
Not to mention anything else, just increasing your self-weight will put a heavier burden on the previously unlucky motivation.
Qin Zhenhua's thoughts have begun to float. How can we improve the protection of this tank?
Now, the country has started to develop composite armor, but this thing can only be used on new tanks. The transformation of old tanks requires a different approach.
On the battlefield, the tank troops did not have the worries like Qin Zhenhua and were penetrated by the enemy? As long as they were one step ahead of the enemy and killed the opponent, wouldn’t it be enough?
The best defense is offense, and this sentence is good at all.
Liu Dajun stood in his tank, in the bumpy state, and he kept giving orders one after another.
They rushed to the front, and behind them, more tank troops were charging, and behind the tanks were individual soldiers running behind the tanks. The entire exercise field was very lively.
There were roars in the sky, and fighter planes appeared on the exercise site. These powerful five attack aircraft with ground support dived from the sky and fired at targets one by one.
"Damn it, don't steal my name! It's amazing to have iron wings." Looking at the front of his position, the targets were blown up one by one, Liu Dajun was very annoyed.
In the West, air-ground joint combat is already very skilled. The air force can support the ground at any time, and the ground forces can also call for air support. However, in China, this is not possible at all. The air force fights the air force, the army fights the army, and the air force flies fast, and will naturally call more ground targets.
Seeing that the targets were actually beaten by the Air Force, Liu Dajun was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Please raise the muzzle, target, target eight kilometers away!"
When the gunner heard his words, he was stunned.
The caliber of the tank gun is not small, and it is often more than 100 mm. However, the range of the tank gun is quite close, just one or two thousand meters, and most battles even break out within one thousand meters.
why is that?
Because tank guns have direct firepower, tank guns aim at the opposite side and fire directly. The ballistics of the shells are almost straight, but they just slightly raise the muzzle to offset the earth's attraction. In this case of direct aiming, the range will naturally shrink significantly.
Of course, tank guns can also be fired in a curved manner. Raising the barrel and allowing the shells to fly over as a parabola, the range can be greatly increased. The original tank gun of the 59 tank can drive the shells to fifteen kilometers away.
However, in this case, the original aiming method is not applicable. In the past, when they rely entirely on optical aiming, the curved shot was to cross the river by feeling the stones, and no one could tell. Now, Liu Dajun said he wanted to shoot, but although the fire control system has been improved, he was not sure if he wanted to hit it.
"All rows should be taken care of, stop and fire!"
When shooting directly, Liu Dajun could open fire while walking, but if he shot in a curve, the marching error would be too great, and he would not dare to play like this. Now, with his order, the three tanks with sharp knife rows that were moving stopped in unison.
Then, the gun mouth was raised and the gun barrel was raised. Everyone on the observation stage here also pointed the telescope at them.
Is this going to be a slight shot? Interestingly, this heroic unit has superb combat quality and strong style, which makes people sigh.
Then, huge fireballs emerged from the muzzle, and grenades were fired from the muzzle and flew out towards the target eight kilometers away.
Without going to see the results, the tank started moving again.
A helicopter in the sky recorded this with a video recorder. Three tracer shells dragged out a bright line, and then the target eight kilometers away fell into the sea of fire.
If it was one, it might not be hit, but three were enough to form a cover attack surface. After three were greeted, an aircraft that was planning to dive down from the air and threw bombs could only be pulled up. At the same time, he shouted loudly in the radio: "What's going on? Which unit did it? Why didn't you obey the arrangements of the pre-war exercise command?"
The pilot was annoyed. He looked at the black smoke rising from the target and glanced at the tank unit behind him. Damn, it was nearly ten kilometers, these crazy people driving tanks!
Just when the main battlefield was fighting fiercely, a special force was dispatched far north from the battlefield.
Since it is a military exercise, both red and blue sides will naturally have to be dispatched. However, according to the arrangements of the exercise department, the number of Blue Army is not large, and there will be no chance of a confrontation between the two sides. After all, it is too dangerous.
Just a simulation from the overall situation.
The troops were not large in number. There were ten tanks in front and a large number of infantry soldiers following behind, with a coordinated posture of step-and-tank.
The soldiers, wearing Soviet military uniforms and holding Soviet weapons, looked murderous, while the tanks in front did not move quickly, and the high 85mm gun barrel was more like pretending.
Only the tank in front looks very special. Where is it special? The distance is far, it may not be able to tell the actual size, but the six pairs of load-bearing wheels below show that it is very different from previous tanks.
