Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The Challenger main battle tanks of the British army immediately dispatched and marched towards the positions of the newly formed First Division. Although the First Amphibious Division stopped to arrest the Indian soldiers, they did not relax their vigilance against the British troops in the distance. They stayed behind. The first battalion of the first amphibious division was responsible for the security mission.

The first battalion of the first amphibious division is equipped with five tk-96 main battle tanks and ten bz-99 infantry fighting vehicles. These fifteen armored vehicles form five assault groups, watching the north under the cover of a forest - the British The direction in which the main force of the army is located.

Xu Jin, the battalion commander of the first battalion, was sitting in the tk-96 main battle tank, and complained to his three company commanders in the communicator: "I heard that Commander Lin recently made a brand new main battle tank, have you heard about it? "

A company commander said: "Of course I have heard of it. It is said that the latest tank model is called 'tk-99', also known as 'Type 99 main battle tank'. It is very powerful."

Another company commander also said: "Yes, it is said that at the armored confrontation training base in Changchun, northeast China, one tk-99 killed five tk-96s!"

Xu Jin asked in surprise, "One car kills five cars? Is it true? Are you kidding me?"

The company commander said: "I'm not talking nonsense. What I said is true. I have a classmate who is currently at the base in the Northeast. He told me himself."

Xu Jin said disdainfully: "That classmate of yours must be fooling you. I don't believe that the Type 99 main battle tank can kill five tk-96s in one go. If it is true, then tell me what the Type 99 tank has. Advanced weapons and equipment?"

The company commander said helplessly: "I want to know too, but my classmate refuses to tell, saying it is top secret, and that he will go to a military court."

Xu Jin sighed, and said, "When will we be able to distribute that kind of tank?"

Several company commanders sighed and expressed hopelessness. At this moment, the scout’s nervous voice came from the communicator: “Report to the battalion commander. Unknown armored vehicles were found in the north direction. The number is unknown. It is 3.5 kilometers away from our headquarters. .”

Xu Jin hurriedly asked: "What is an unknown armored vehicle?"

The scout said: "Report to the battalion commander. The opponent's armored vehicle is not listed in our identification manual. It should be a brand-new armored vehicle of the British army. It has a main gun. It should be a new type of enemy tank."

Xu Jin immediately said: "Be careful and report the situation at any time."

Xu Jin then adjusted the communication channel to talk to the whole battalion, and said: "Attention all units, an unknown British armored vehicle was found in the north direction, and the preliminary judgment is that it is a new type of enemy tank!"

Xu Jin asked his subordinates to prepare for battle, and immediately reported the news to his superiors. After the report, he thought: "The enemy tanks are only 3.5 kilometers away from us. It must be too late for the helicopters to fly over. I don't know how many enemy tanks there are? If the number is small We'll just kill them."

Xu Jin adjusted the communication frequency to the frequency used by the scouts, and asked, "Have you seen the number of enemy troops clearly?"

The scout replied: "I see clearly, there are nine enemy tanks in total, arranged in three wedge-shaped formations, it seems that they should be the enemy's advance troops."

Xu Jin thought: "There are only nine tanks? Then we are more than enough to deal with them!" So Xu Jin ordered the first battalion to move to the north to meet the enemy tanks!

Five tanks and ten infantry fighting vehicles set off immediately, heading towards the position of the British tanks. Xu Jin was worried that the infantry fighting vehicles would be attacked by the enemy, so he asked the infantry fighting vehicles to follow behind the tanks 400 meters away.

Although this area is a plain, the terrain on the plain is also undulating, so Xu Jin and the others did not see the British tanks for a while, but the scouts had already told them that the British tanks were on the short slope in front of them and went up. You can see them on low slopes.

Xu Jin went up the short slope first, and saw a group of tanks on the opposite side from a distance. Xu Jin felt that the distance was about 1500 meters, and he immediately ordered: "Fire and destroy them!"

After Xu Jin gave the order, he used the commander's periscope to take a closer look at the tank on the opposite side. He saw that the tank on the other side was obviously two sizes larger than his own. A smoke extractor is installed in the middle of the barrel. The tail of the tank gun is located inside the closed tank turret. If the smoke in the barrel cannot be drawn out, it will greatly affect the crew's combat. During the Sino-Japanese War, Japan The Japanese tanks did not have smokers, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Japanese crews, and the Japanese tanks fell behind in the contest with the Chinese tanks.

Seeing the smoke extractor on the gun barrel, Xu Jin thought that the British tanks were still making progress. At this moment, he heard the gunner say loudly: "The aiming is finished, let's fire!"

The gunner pressed the firing button after saying this, there was a "boom", and there was a slight earthquake inside the turret, Xu Jin saw a puff of smoke drifting outside the commander's periscope, and then saw a puff of light smoke Rise up on a tank opposite.

Xu Jin laughed loudly: "Well done! Hit!"

But to Xu Jin's surprise, the tank that was hit stopped for a while, and then drove towards him again. The hit place on the body was obviously missing a piece, which was detonated by a shaped energy armor-piercing projectile. Explosive reactive armor, left over from the explosion of the reactive armor block.

Xu Jin thought for a while, thinking that his shell must have not seriously damaged the enemy's tank. If it did, the metal jet would kill the gunner and commander inside, so the tank would definitely not continue to move forward to his position.

Xu Jin turned to the gunner and said, "Armor-piercing bullets don't work well. They used reactive armor. Try firing an armor-piercing bullet."

The gunner operated on the control panel for a while, and put an armor-piercing projectile into the barrel. This armor-piercing projectile was a tungsten-uranium alloy tail stabilized shell-piercing projectile. In the Sino-German tank battle in Estonia, it was this type of armor-piercing projectile that severely damaged the German army. Tank troops.

The gunner pressed the firing button, and this time the "bang" sound was louder than the previous one, and the vibration of the turret was also more violent, because the armor-piercing projectile and the armor-piercing projectile were different, and the armor-piercing projectile did not need high speed when fired, and the speed was too fast It may also affect the armor-piercing effect, so the number of propellant charges of the armor-piercing projectile is relatively small, but the armor-piercing projectile is different. The armor-piercing projectile relies on kinetic energy to penetrate the armor, so it needs a high speed, so the amount of charge is large when fired, and the sound and vibration are relatively large.

The shell hit the British tank again. To Xu Jin's surprise, the armor-piercing shell did not penetrate the enemy tank, and the long pole was embedded in the armor of the British tank!

This situation is also normal. Although the long rod of the armor-piercing projectile is made of tungsten-uranium alloy, the caliber of the tank gun is only 100mm after all, and the firing speed of the shell is greatly restricted. If the opponent's armor is very thick, the armor-piercing projectile cannot penetrate through.
