Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The tanks of Lin Yuan's troops retreated and quickly left the Japanese tanks behind. The Japanese frontline commander then asked Kumamoto Masaichi: "Captain, the Chinese have retreated. Should we pursue them or not?"

Masaichi Kumamoto said: "The Chinese people are cunning, so don't chase after them, and withdraw them first." Then all the Japanese tanks withdrew, and when Masaichi Kumamoto saw that his troops had driven away Lin Yuan's troops, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and called out. The staff officer under him said: "Let's go to the front line and encourage our warriors."

Masaichi Kumamoto came out of the command post and came to the front line. The front-line commander didn't know Masaichi Kumamoto was coming, so he couldn't help but panic when he saw him. Masaichi Kumamoto asked, "Is there any result from the battle just now?"

The commander bowed his head in shame and said, "This subordinate is incompetent! No results have been achieved."

Masaichi Kumamoto said: "Hasn't the latest high-speed armor-piercing projectile developed by our Empire of Japan tasted the blood of the Chinese?"

The commander said: "I'm sorry, Captain, we are too far away from the Chinese people, and the sky is too dark, we can't accurately aim at the main artillery tank of the Chinese people, so we didn't fire."

Kumamoto smiled and said, "It's okay, the Chinese people are as cunning as loaches, we'll deal with them later."

The commander replied loudly: "Yes! The subordinates must do their best to try to annihilate the main artillery tank unit of the Chinese, and add glory to the tank regiment!"

Kumamoto nodded with satisfaction and said, "I heard that the Chinese fired a lot of artillery last night. Did it cause any damage to our chariot?"

The commander said: "Their shells caused damage to our sighting system, but the hull was not damaged."

Kumamoto smiled proudly, and said: "In the battle tonight, the Chinese people took advantage of their long-distance detection, but this also reflects their cowardice, the cowardice in their bones! They dare not act like real warriors If you fight us face to face, you will only hide in the distance and shoot cold arrows, haha."

As soon as Kumamoto finished speaking, he laughed wildly. At this time, the commander said: "Captain, their shells have caused some damage to us."

After hearing this one by one, Kumamoto said angrily, "What did you say?"

The commander said: "Although their shells did not blow up our vehicle body, but at the moment of the explosion, the strong shock wave injured our crew members, and two loaders died as a result."

Kumamoto said in a low voice, "Hachi! Who else knows about this?"

The commander said: "I haven't had time to report to my superiors, so no one else knows except the people in the loader's team and you."

Masaichi Kumamoto said: "Then you just remember, this matter cannot be told to anyone! Especially those military reporters, understand?"

The commander said: "But the red-hot charcoal cannot be hidden in the snow..."

Kumamoto said angrily: "Then hide it too! Just don't let them know about this matter. This is the first battle between us and Lin Yuan's main artillery tank. If you tell the reporter that we failed, our Great Japanese Empire The new tank troops will be ashamed; this is also the first battle between main artillery tanks in human history, if you say that we are dead, it will shame our Great Japanese Empire! Do you understand?"

The commander said with trepidation: "I understand, I must strictly block this matter."

Kumamoto nodded happily, and said: "Well, let's stop this matter, don't mention it again, through this battle we understand that Lin Yuan's main artillery tank can't penetrate our armor at all, so, We can attack them unscrupulously, and I order your troops to rest for three hours and set off at three o'clock in the morning to attack Yanji!"

The commander replied loudly: "Yes! Swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!" After finishing speaking, he went to prepare. At this time, a staff officer whispered to Kumamoto Masaichi: "Captain, General Nogi said very clearly. After we occupy Kaishantun, we cannot If you go further north, you are disobeying military orders by letting your troops attack Yanji, and General Nogi will punish you."

Kumamoto laughed loudly and said: "Disobeying the military order? I disobeyed the military order! What can Nogi Noki do to me? As far as I know, Nogi Noki ordered us to attack China and did not get an order from the Supreme Command. It's just repeating his things, if he wants to punish me, he must first punish himself."

The staff officer went on to say: "But if we hit Yanji, will the battle line be too long? Also, Lin Yuan's troops are extremely powerful, and we will definitely be in danger if we rush in."

Kumamoto laughed loudly and said: "Dangerous? What's the danger? Can Lin Yuan's troops take my main artillery tank? Lin Yuan's main artillery tank used to rampage and bully people, now it's time to change it. "

As soon as Kumamoto finished speaking, he ignored the staff and went back to sleep, while Zhang Yun and others immediately contacted Lin Yuan to report the situation of the found main artillery tank. Lin Yuan attached great importance to this matter, so he personally A video call conference was held to let Zhang Yun and others report the situation. Luo Chaoying from the arsenal and Ge Wenliang, an expert from the tank base, also participated in the meeting.

Zhang Yun first said: "Let me introduce the Japanese tanks in terms of their dimensions, mobility, firepower, and defense. According to our calculations, the length of the Japanese tanks is about nine meters, and the height is about three meters. The width is also more than two meters. The mobility is average. When our tank retreats, the speed is 10 kilometers per hour. It takes less than [-] minutes to get rid of the Japanese tank at this speed. Therefore, we speculate that the maximum speed of the Japanese tank is about Twenty kilometers per hour."

"During the battle, the Japanese army almost never fired a cannon, so we have no way of knowing the performance of their main guns, but one thing worth noting is that although the Japanese army's main guns have a small caliber, they have a very long barrel. The speed of the shells fired must be relatively high; as for the defense, our [-]mm main guns failed to blow up their armor with grenades, so we think: the thickness of the opponent's armor must be very high."

Lin Yuan asked Ge Wenliang: "Old Ge, according to your experience, how thick is the armor of Japanese tanks?"

Ge Wenliang thought for a while and said: "The TNT explosives in our [-]mm main gun grenades are about a dozen kilograms. Based on this calculation, the armor thickness should be more than [-]mm, and even [-]mm may not be able to stop it. "

Lin Yuan was very surprised when he heard this, and thought: "The armor is so thick, it has far surpassed the tanks of World War II in my era. It seems that the development of weapons and equipment in all countries in the world cannot be underestimated!"

At this time, Luo Chaoying said: "Comrade Kobayashi, if the armor thickness of the Japanese tanks exceeds [-]mm, then we have to redesign the armor-piercing bombs. The armor depth is [-] millimeters, oh, the most favorable explosion height is the explosion height that allows the armor-piercing projectile to exert its maximum armor-piercing power, it may be difficult to achieve in actual combat, what do you think we should do?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's a bad idea for us to guess the performance of Japanese tanks here. The best way is to get a Japanese tank. In that way, we can design weapons in a targeted manner."
