Anti-war metal frenzy

Chapter 108 Tiger Style

In the heavy tank blocking Fujino Nobunaga and his party, the commander commanding the tank could indeed clearly see the weapons held by Fujino Nobunaga and his party!Because this heavy tank is equipped with a set of 'owl' night vision device that Sun Buyi sent from the base.

Unlike the 'Vampire' night vision device, which is specially equipped for infantry, this night vision device called 'Owl' is specially designed for armored vehicles.In the last year of World War II, the German Panther tank equipped with this 'owl' night vision device once caused the Allied forces to suffer a big loss in the night battle with the German army.

And the heavy tank equipped with the 'owl' night vision device is not a Leopard, but a Tiger heavy tank arranged by the ram in the base as a fixed firepower point outside the factory gate!

In World War II, Germany's development of Tiger heavy tanks originated from the appearance of Soviet T34 tanks and KV series heavy tanks on the Soviet-German battlefield.When the German army fighting on the Eastern Front repeatedly hit a wall in front of these two Soviet tanks, in 1941 Hitler asked German engineers to design a tank that could completely surpass and effectively destroy all Soviet active tanks in the shortest possible time. heavy tank.

In this context, the prototype vk1941(h) produced by the German Henschel Company was officially adopted by the German army in July 7, and this tank was the predecessor of the later famous Tiger heavy tank.

When the Tiger heavy tank, which was officially put into mass production, was put into the Eastern Front, the Soviet T-34 tank and the KV series heavy tank, which had suppressed the German armored forces for two years, finally met their opponents.

The huge power of the Tiger heavy tank artillery can easily penetrate the armor of these two Soviet tanks, and even detonate the ammunition stored inside the turrets, directly knocking off the entire turrets of the two tanks.The German soldiers jokingly referred to this situation as enemy tanks taking off their hats to the Tiger.

In addition, the huge power of the Tiger heavy tank was also fully demonstrated in the defensive battle.The vertical armor adopted by the Tiger tank can be said to be the pinnacle of traditional German vertical armor.Its sophisticated workmanship made the Tiger heavy tank's armor hardness exceed the hardness level of similar armor on all other tanks during World War II.

On the Eastern Front, there was a record of a Tiger heavy tank being hit by 227 rounds of anti-tank rifle bullets, 14 rounds of 45mm armor-piercing bullets, and 11 rounds of 76mm armor-piercing bullets, but the occupants of the tank were unharmed.And after the battle was over, the members of the Tiger heavy tank drove the scarred heavy tank another [-] kilometers, and safely sent it to the rear repair shop.

As the saying goes, 'no man is perfect, gold is never pure', and the Tiger heavy tank is not perfect.Its main flaws are all concentrated in the two aspects of astonishing fuel consumption and heavy logistical maintenance.

The Tiger heavy tank can be regarded as a real gas tiger. A Tiger heavy tank consumes [-] liters of fuel every [-] kilometers!It is also because of this astonishing fuel consumption that Sun Buyi has been desperately hoarding fuel for his armored troops.

The second is that once the Tiger heavy tank has a mechanical failure, it will be very difficult to repair it.Special heavy maintenance vehicles must be used to repair and consign Tiger tanks, because ordinary maintenance vehicles cannot drag Tiger heavy tanks at all.

Under normal circumstances, a Tiger tank that cannot act due to damage or failure requires three 18-ton sdkfz9 half-track tractors to be towed.Even if Tiger tanks are used to pull each other, two Tiger heavy tanks are needed to drag a damaged Tiger.Therefore, such logistical pressure also made it difficult for Sun Buyi to distribute the already small number of clone soldiers.

But at least one thing is certain. Although the Tiger heavy tank has its own insurmountable defects, in 1937, whether it was used for defense or offense, the Tiger heavy tank could be called a powerful and powerful tank. invincible.

When I saw the infantry who were marching in the center of the dirt road scattered like birds and beasts, they all ran to the fields on both sides of the dirt road, lay down and fired at themselves. The turret of the Tiger heavy tank began to rotate slowly, and the muzzle pointed to the side of the dirt road. The slope where Fujino Nobunaga hid.

Within a distance of 500 meters, the shooting accuracy of the Tiger heavy tank is absolutely guaranteed.With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a shell fired from the 88mm artillery equipped by the Tiger tank penetrated the earth slope in an instant, stirring up blood rain and smoke all over the sky behind the earth slope.

With the fire from the muzzle of the Tiger tank, on the side of the Tiger tank turret, you can clearly see the combination of three letters and numbers 's04' painted with black spray paint.

When Sun Buyi, who had just returned to the Shanghai factory from Beiping, saw the number of this Tiger heavy tank for the first time, he couldn't help being taken aback.Sun Buyi knows that this is actually just a coincidence, but the number of this Tiger tank is indeed the same as the number used by the famous Michel Wittmann in the SS 101st Independent Heavy Armored Battalion in history. exactly the same.

Although Michel Wittmann commanded a variety of German armored vehicles in World War II, it wasn't until he became a commander of a Tiger heavy tank that he became famous.

On June 1944, 6, the second company of the 13st Independent Heavy Armored Battalion of the German Army led by Wittmann encountered the British army unexpectedly in the village of Pokaki.

In that encounter, Wittmann and his crew single-handedly drove a Tiger heavy tank numbered 's04' and destroyed four British Sherman tanks, twenty Renwell tanks, three Stuart tanks and fourteen half-tracks and fourteen Bren transports!

Although Wittmann was eventually killed in the town of Santo during the subsequent massive Allied offensive, the miraculous battle he created in Pokaki Village made him an immortal legend in World War II.

At this time, Sun Buyi, who was standing on a command vehicle converted from an sd.251 half-track armored vehicle, also expected that his Tiger heavy tank, also numbered 's04', would be launched later in the Song Dynasty. A miracle can also be created in the Shanghai battle, and even this miracle can not lose to the one created by the Wittmann team.

This time Sun Buyi did not deal with the devils who came to raid the factory, he was not as cautious as he was when arranging the defense of Yue's mansion.After all, the location of the Yue's Mansion is in the urban area of ​​Shanghai, so some things cannot be overdone.But it is different in the factory, here is the outskirts, sparsely populated, so Sun Buyi decided to lead the clone soldiers under his command to keep the enemy out of the factory gate this time!
