reborn super empire

As the sound of tanks continued to come, cross-country, ravines, and even simple wading, climbing, etc., as the test time got longer, the smile on Paravicht's face became brighter and brighter.

There is nothing that can excite him more than this. As a professional mechanical expert, being hired by the Chinese to study tanks and to be fully responsible for the development of the engine is a serious challenge for him. .

But fortunately, at the last critical moment, Paravicht still lived up to his expectations and completed the design. Although the final data has not yet been summarized, so far, this tank has the conditions to go on the battlefield. What needs to be tested is to see how long he can last.

"Song, I think you can order the factory to start assembling the new tank, but the engine still needs to wait. If there is no accident, it should take about half a month. Let them assemble the body and other parts first. At that time, you can directly install the engine and go to the battlefield."

Paravicht said excitedly.

Things have progressed to this point, and it is basically confirmed. The data of this tank so far has also satisfied him. Whether it is armor protection, speed, or power and battery life, it has basically reached their initial stage. expected.

Since this engine was installed on the tank, they have been testing it non-stop. All the testers are divided into several groups and drive the tank around the base 24 hours a day.

Of course, they moved around a pre-designed site, which simulated the environment of most places in the world.Including mountains and rivers.High road, rough road.Even primeval forests have artificially created an area.

And they have already calculated the distance of one lap. At the starting point, someone has been staring at the tank. Whenever he has driven a lap, they will record the number of laps on paper. To measure the endurance of the tank.

However, after so many days of testing, they have already obtained the final data on the battery life. It is about 34 kilometers, and there may be a range of about 34 to 30 kilometers, but this is already a big difference compared to the previous one. farewell.And this battery life is enough to compete with the t52. You must know that the t[-] is just a little guy weighing more than [-] tons, and the new tank has an empty weight of [-] tons. This is an out-and-out heavy tank.

"Palla, are you sure? Don't make any mistakes at the last moment, otherwise we will suffer too much loss this time."

Song Qian frowned and couldn't help worrying.

He has also seen the performance of this tank, the performance is very good, the speed on the road has reached 51 kilometers.And the off-road speed is not inferior at all, and it has reached a terrifying 43 kilometers. What is this concept?Their current t34 is only fifty kilometers on the road. It can be said that this is a speed with a medium tank.New tank with heavy tank power.

Once this tank comes out, it will definitely bring a devastating blow to the enemy. Don't think that the 34mm smoothbore gun is just an accessory.To put it bluntly, use this thing to fight the Soviet Union's t[-].Even Song Qian felt a little wasteful.

But this is not to say that there are no problems in starting mass production of a tank that has not yet been thoroughly tested.This is still very risky. If there are any major problems later on, it will be troublesome to modify them at that time, but once the problems are found after these tanks enter the battlefield, it will be a tragedy. The unlucky ones can only are their own soldiers.

"The theory says that he has no problem. Now the tank has been running non-stop for twelve days, and the engine of a tank is divided into two stages. The second stage is 450 hours, and the first stage is [-] hours. Now we It’s only about twelve hours away from reaching the second level, and judging from his performance, I don’t think there is anything wrong with him, and he may even reach the first level standard.”

"As for the actual combat performance of this tank, it can only be tested on the battlefield. Anyway, we have tested the items that can be tested in the base several times, and there is no problem. So Song, from now on, no matter whether this tank is Lying down, or other failures, so far he has been proving to us that it is a very good tank, and according to the situation on the battlefield, if the tank fails right now, then he has enough operating time Fight on the battlefield for a month, or longer."

Paravicht explained carefully.

Don’t think that the tank is awesome, it’s just its appearance. In fact, the engine of the tank is divided according to the grade. The second-level engine needs to be replaced every 450 hours of driving, the first-level engine is [-] hours, and the engine needs to be replaced three times After that, the tank needs a major overhaul.

That is to say, every time the engine is replaced, it can only be regarded as a medium repair, mainly to replace the engine, and check other aspects. If there is no safety hazard, it will not be replaced.Only during overhaul will all parts that may cause hidden dangers or appear to be unsafe be completely replaced.

After the engines of the tanks were unloaded, many of them were repaired and then installed on the fishing boats, because the load of the tanks was too high, and the requirements for the engines were very high. Can not meet the continued combat tanks.

"Okay, I will report the truth to His Majesty. As for whether to mass-produce it, it can only be decided by His Majesty."

Song Qian was finally convinced by Palavicht's evidence. In fact, after seeing that the tank had been running non-stop for so long and still had no problems, Song Qian was also tempted.

It's just that he is not a professional, and the performance of the tank can only be judged from the appearance. Now that Paravicht has produced some professional data to prove that he has the qualifications for initial mass production, then Song Qian naturally does not I will stubbornly ask them to make a decision after the test.

He can wait, but the front line can't wait any longer. As early as a week ago, the North Army Group once again launched a large-scale battle with the Soviet Army. Thousands of tanks, and what the North Army Group found was just a drizzle.

Although the Air Force was very heroic, it dispatched the entire army directly after receiving the order and destroyed four or five hundred Soviet tanks, but the more than 1000 tanks that still emerged still caught them by surprise.

And this time the armored troops were not as lucky as before, and they also fully realized Zhukov's power. If they hadn't had rich armored combat experience and sufficient battlefield qualifications, maybe the armored troops of the Northern Army Group would have already defeated by the Soviets.

Now they can only rely on their only advantage and the cooperation of the infantry to barely stand firm on the battlefield, and the new Soviet tanks also caused a lot of losses to the Northern Army Group, although they were still able to fight at the beginning. One for three, but up to now it has basically become one for two, and as the war continues, this ratio will be fully reduced.

I have to admit that the growth of the Soviet army has exceeded their imagination, and it is unpredictable at all. The most terrible thing is that the Soviet army's tanks seem to be endless, and their tanks have already been beaten to less than a thousand However, looking back in a few days, almost hundreds of tanks were sent to the front line, and the North Army Group could only urge the rear while gnawing at the original.

As for this situation, in order not to put more pressure on Paravicht, Su Dao asked Song Qian how many times about the research status of the tank, and the factory in the rear was even more full-bodied to produce tanks. As long as the required parts are confirmed on their side, they can start assembling there.

'whoosh...'

'boom! '

A rocket dragged a long white smoke, directly and quickly hit a Soviet tank, followed by a huge explosion, and even the place where they were was trembling.

However, what left this group of soldiers speechless was that the Bazooka failed to beat the tank to the ground, and the high-explosive anti-tank warhead capable of penetrating 135mm thick armor did not penetrate more than 70mm of the tank's frontal armor. This group of soldiers was very depressed.

In the past week, they have rarely been able to directly use the bazooka to destroy the enemy's tanks, and the enemy's tanks never act alone. When they act, there must be infantry behind them, or directly a tank Clusters, which make it difficult for anti-tank fighters who want to go around the rear to attack.

The butt of the tank is the weak part, and it is also where the engine is located, but now they have no chance to hit the tank's butt, so the remaining two weak parts are only the chassis and the top, so don't worry about the chassis. The bazooka have a hard time hitting the bottom directly other than with mines, and the top, they don't have that chance right now.

This is not the most frustrating thing for them. Although the battle has started for a long time, they have no record of confronting tanks. The main opponents of Soviet tanks were the air force and their armored forces. Ordinary infantry basically ignore them.

But it’s not working now, if you ignore it, you’ll just die. Now the Soviet army is launching a counterattack, and their main force is not here at the moment. They have to withstand it for at least a day, and then they can deal with it after the main force returns. These counterattacking Soviet troops countercharged.

"Damn, why did you forget about this, go hit the side of the tank, make sure you hit one by one."

A second lieutenant patted his head fiercely. After a long time, this knowledge is really rusty. Fortunately, the battle has just begun, so there is still time.

He was just annoyed before, and he forgot that the front of the tank is armored with slopes. After the anti-tank shell hits it, it will lose part of its power. Get in, but the bazooka, the speed is too slow, it is impossible to hit the front.

And the instructor also said this when I was studying before. When bazooka is dealing with tanks, it is best to aim at the side. Even if it cannot be penetrated, it can damage his tracks and road wheels, making him stand there unable to move. (To be continued..)
