One Hundred and Sixteen Fuel Consumption
"It's amazing! I seem to understand this thing from birth... how it works, how it moves, how it fights." Closing his eyes, the recruit Ryan felt everything in his mind, and said to himself excitedly language.
When he opened his eyes, he found that everything he was familiar with still existed, just like that in front of his eyes. He reached out and touched the icy iron plate he was all too familiar with, and gave the order: "Okay! Gentlemen! Start the engine and let's try to move forward!"
"Bang, bang..." The sound of metal friction sounded very noisy outside, but the personnel inside were all wearing communication headsets, so they didn't feel anything wrong.
On the contrary, they felt very excited, because the weapons they were flying could be said to have completely transformed the Army.
That's right, they're driving a tank, a very powerful looking tank. Inside the small tank body, there are five tank soldiers who have studied for a long time. They are driving the first tank in human history and conducting various test experiments.
"Steer! Steer to the right! Test the sensitivity of the tank! Slow down! Slow down!" Ryan turned his driver while observing the surroundings through a narrow periscope.
For him, this is not an easy task, because the field of view in the tank is very narrow, and he must endure this limitation of vision and try to understand everything that is happening around him as much as possible.
Soon, his tank was turning under the watchful eyes of many people, and the tank was moving slightly awkwardly, equipped with a 75mm short-barreled cannon, which was basically the army version of the flat-fire gun used by the Navy.
It can fire grenades from the Army's 75mm caliber infantry guns, as well as special armor-piercing projectiles - which are actually solid warhead projectiles used to hit large targets.
"Cannon commander! Turn the turret! I need to aim at the target in our direction just now! This is a test project!" While turning, commander Ryan looked at the test project record sheet and instructed his gun commander.
The gunner stepped on the pedal of the rotary gun, and then the turret of the tank rotated, the motor made a nice sound, and the entire turret turned rapidly. When the turret was turned, the tank was still on the move, so in the end the gunner found that he couldn't find the target he was looking for.
"Damn it! Stop! I'm aiming for the target!" the gunner shouted gloomily in the communicator inside the car, his shouting quickly took effect, the tank stopped, and after a while, the gun Chang Cai finally found the direction his artillery was pointing and aimed at the distant target.
"Loader! Load armor-piercing bullets!" Commander Ryan gave a loud command to fight, and the loader beside him took out a shell from the shell storage rack and stuffed it into the gun chamber in front of him: "Filling is complete. !"
"Boom!" The tank's gun barrel spewed out a flame, and a shell hit a fixed target about 400 meters away - it was not easy to miss, after all, the size of the target was about the same as a dragon.
The huge penetrating power directly penetrated the stacked sandbags, and the target was directly penetrated by the shell, showing the good penetration performance of this artillery. After all, it is also an improved artillery from the Navy's 75mm flat-fire gun, and its power is naturally nothing to say.
Through the periscope in front of him, Ryan carefully observed the hit target, and then said loudly: "Go ahead! We are going to the next test area! There are two test tanks waiting for us over there. Woolen cloth!"
Chris searched for a long time in the army weapons that meet the industrial level of Ireland Hill, and finally decided to directly launch the tank 4 Sherman with the best comprehensive performance. This kind of tank is not really good to be honest, but it is better than its mediocre mediocrity.
The first to be eliminated were the famous tanks in Germany during World War II: the Tiger Tank and the Panther Tank were completely eliminated due to the problem of manufacturing complexity.
The somewhat mediocre No. and No. 4 tanks were also rejected because there were similar replacements.
At least in Chris' view, German tanks are basically not suitable for Ireland Hill's current needs. On the one hand, they consume too much steel and have production capacity. On the other hand, they are a headache because of reliability and fuel consumption.
Coupled with its astonishingly expensive but seriously overflowing firepower, and its arrogant, but almost no opponent's defense capability—there was nothing that could satisfy Chris.
Therefore, in the Alan Hill Army, where both rifles and machine guns are using German weapons, the armored troops were the first to rule out German tanks. When he decided to give up the German tanks, Chris also remembered the famous conclusion: the tank that the soldiers wanted the most was indeed the tank that the generals hated the most...
After eliminating the German tanks, Chris wanted the famous T-4 tank produced by the Soviet Union. This tank can even be produced by tractor factories. It can be said that it is very suitable for the needs of Ireland Hill.
However, although this tank performs very well in industrial production, its performance in other aspects is a bit ridiculous.
First of all, the most terrible thing is the poor performance in ergonomics. The driving control of the t-4 tank is very general, which can be said to be the worst among similar tanks. In addition, this kind of tank is too much for the driver and the tank soldiers inside. It is too narrow, which is not conducive to tank members fighting for a long time.
After making a choice, Chris felt that the tall body and the lack of defense are not a fatal problem, and the production and maintenance of the 4 tanks is also very simple, not much worse than the famous t-4.
As for firepower... Chris feels that it is already a matter of bullying the enemy to push the 75mm caliber artillery to the front line. He originally wanted to directly use the 0mm caliber anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery as a tank.
However, considering that it is possible to deal with some difficult ground targets in the future, Chris still decided to put this tank, which seems to be more advanced in performance, into use as the army's main tank.
In fact, Chris really hesitated for a long time to choose t-4 or 4. He even held a weapon selection meeting for the first time, solicited the opinions of the army and the production department, and finally selected the target as 4.
The key issue that gave him the final word was that the radio operator is still an essential tank crew configuration because the radio equipment is still at an unstable level at this stage.
However, most of the Soviet t-4 tanks are not equipped with expensive radios, and there is no room for radio operators when they are designed. Therefore, the t-4 tanks have always been a crew of 4, which is one less than the 4 electromechanical operator.
Although it is indeed tempting to save a person, considering the importance of tank coordination, Chris still firmly believes that tank troops must be equipped with radios to facilitate dispatch and command.
Therefore, the t-4 tank, which was slightly inferior in communication, was eventually defeated, and the Army of Ireland Hill chose the 4 tank as their "Imperial Cavalry". Soon new tank factories were established in Wallawa and Naru City, and the first tanks produced entered the testing and army experimentation stage.
Because this is already a well-known mature design in history, the so-called Army test is just a cutscene. Seeing the three tanks attacking together in the proving ground, all the army generals widened their eyes.
Since ancient times, how to solve the defense needs of soldiers has been a very important issue. Whether heavy infantry or heavy cavalry, they are all powerful arms born to allow soldiers to obtain as much defense as possible.
However, since ancient times, human beings have never stacked firepower mobility and defense on one weapon, and let these three attributes be balanced and better played.
The appearance of the tank satisfies all the fantasy of human beings, or the army's war: let the thick steel plate run faster than the war horse, rush into the enemy's array, and use powerful weapons to destroy all the surrounding enemies!
"This is what I want!" Waggron pointed to the tanks on the battlefield and shouted in surprise. He didn't realize that his words made Chris laugh or cry, because in his memory, an acquaintance once said the same thing to Vagron.
General Mordelair also had a keen interest in this new type of weapon. He felt that if such a weapon was arranged in front of the opponent's defense line, then these iron cavalry would only need one attack to destroy any opponent.
"From now on! Alan Hill's army is invincible in the world!" Mordelair described what he had seen and heard: "If you give me twenty tanks, I can take my 4th Army to defeat Asia. Rantix, if you give me a hundred of these tanks, I can sweep the whole of Arrant!"
General Coria, who was sitting beside him, was even more optimistic than him. He looked at Modler who was amazed, and said with a smile: "Give me 50 cars, and I will dare to sweep Arante!"
"Stop joking!" Wilkes, who was sitting there crying and laughing, shook the tank performance introduction in his hand in front of Modler and Coria, and said: "Your army The gasoline in the Ministry's reserves is not enough for 50 cars of this thing to drive to Arantix!"
Recently, the military in all directions are worrying about one thing, and that is how to hoard more gasoline to cope with the increasing fuel consumption-many troops have received the corresponding car quota, and the powerful performance of the car makes every The commander was delighted, but the fuel consumption that followed made everyone collapse.
Today, if you want to make a reorganized military-level unit move, you need not only food, forage, but also ammunition...
