Chapter 607 Recycling

Ulyanke was about to climb onto the tank, but Gao Yang quickly said: "Don't go up! The enemy has many snipers, and they have large-caliber sniper rifles and heavy machine guns. It's too dangerous to go up now."

Ulyanke said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I don't believe they can hit me. Have you seen the helicopter in the sky? If anyone dares to open fire, the people I hired at a high price will teach them how to behave."

Porovich also stretched out his hand and asked Ulyanko to pull him up, and immediately said: "Check to see if the top hatch is locked. I don't want to have to forcefully open the top of the iron coffin." ."

Gao Yang whispered: "Hey, don't get too excited. What if there are still people alive inside?"

After Wu Liyangke touched his body, he reached out to Gao Yang and said, "Just in case, give me a grenade."

Gao Yang sighed, simply climbed onto the tank, took out a grenade, turned on the safety, and motioned to Ulyenko to open the top cover.

Ulyanko grabbed the handle of the top cabin door and lifted it up, easily pulling out the top cover. Then Porovich beamed with joy and said: "That's great, they didn't lock the door. Ha ha!"

As long as the cover at the top of the tank is locked from the inside, it will be difficult to open it from the outside, unless it is forcibly cut open with something like gas welding. It is impossible to pry it open with something like an iron bar, but if the top compartment If the door is just lowered and not locked from the inside, it will of course be easy to open.

The space inside the tank is very small, and the field of view is also very small. If you only rely on the periscope and observation holes to obtain the field of view. That would be very difficult to drive and observe. So tanks most of the time. They are all driven with the windows open, and the roof hatch will also be opened so that the commander can temporarily get out of the tank to observe. Moreover, opening the roof hatch can also ventilate the hot and stuffy interior of the tank, so even if it is... During a war, even if the top hatch of a tank is closed, few people will choose to lock the top hatch from the inside.

There is another important reason for not locking the deadhead hatch. Once the tank is hit by a bullet, if you want to escape from it, it is much easier to open the unlocked top hatch than to lock it. At that time, even if it can save one action, it will be good.

It was not locked from the inside, everything was easy to say. After Ulyanke slightly opened a crack, Gao Yang immediately shouted to the inside: "Is anyone alive? If anyone is alive, please speak quickly. I will throw a grenade later."

There was no movement at all in the tank, after waiting for a while. After Ulyanke nodded, he opened the top hatch completely. Hearing that there was still no movement inside, Porovich took a quick look and immediately said: "It's okay, everyone inside is dead."

Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and after taking a look inside,

But he saw two people leaning down and motionless. Judging from their positions, they should be the gunner and loader.

Ulyanke got into the tank, reached out and pulled the gunner who was lying motionless in front of the tank gun sight back. The gunner then leaned back and looked at the top hatch.

When he saw the gunner's face, Gao Yang was immediately startled. He had seen a lot of dead people, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with him on the outside. This was the first time he saw a dead man with only slight bleeding from his orifices, and the dead man's eyes were still open. Get the boss.

After looking into the dead gunner's lifeless eyes, Gao Yang felt a sense of disgust in his heart and quickly turned his head away. He was not afraid of seeing dead people, but it was too awkward to look into the eyes of dead people.

After taking one look, Porovich immediately said: "They were all shocked to death. Oh, I have a bad feeling."

Porovich had gained weight, and the space in the tank cabin was extremely small. With the corpse and Ulyanko in, there was no room for him, so Porovich said urgently outside: "How's it going? How's it going? Is there anything we can use? Tank guns should be fine, right?"

Ulyanko did not answer the question. He got out of the tank cabin directly. With a look of helplessness on his face, he looked at Porovich and shook his head, saying: "It's ruined. Everything is ruined. There's nothing usable." , sighting equipment, fire control system, as long as the glass or similar things were all shattered, even the cannon was broken. It seemed fine, but it was completely unusable. As for the engine and the like, no need to look at it, the cannon was shaken. It’s broken, the engine is probably broken.”

Porovich also sighed in disappointment, looked at Gao Yang and said, "Friends, how much c4 did you use?"

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Three kilograms."

Ulyanke leaned out of the top hatch and sighed: "This is the first time I have encountered this situation. It turns out that three kilograms of C4 can completely destroy a tank when it explodes under the car. I really didn’t know before, well, although it can’t be recycled, it’s good to know this and it gives me a lot of experience.”

Porovich pointed at the tank that was damaged by them and said: "Look at which tank it is. Although it was hit by an anti-tank missile, there must be something useful left inside. I hope the tank gun will not Bad."

The other tank was not far away and could be reached immediately. When he reached out his hand to Ulyanko to pull him out, Gao Yang said: "I'm curious, how much is a tank gun worth?"

Porovich smiled and said: "This is not necessarily the case. It depends on the model and whether it is old or new. A new German-made tank gun is worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even an old one is still valuable, while the Russian-made cannon is much cheaper. Also, the 120mm gun is definitely much more expensive than the 105mm gun.”

Ulyanke also smiled and said: "It's even harder to say about the old cannons that were recycled. The cannon used by the chief is a rifled cannon, not a smoothbore cannon. This cannon can only be made by the British, and it is difficult to make, so it is quite expensive. Even if It's an old cannon. As long as it's in good condition, it can be sold for two hundred thousand dollars. Of course, this is our selling price. As for the purchase price, I can give you twenty thousand dollars."

Gao Yang curled his lips and said, "It's so dark."

Porovich shrugged and said: "If you keep it in your hands, it will be useless. If you give it to us, you can get 20,000 dollars, so why not sell it? If it were someone else, I would only pay 2,000 dollars to buy it. "

Gao Yang was completely helpless. Ulyanko and Porovich were worthy of being colleagues. They were indeed on the same page.

After the three people jumped out of the tank, Gao Yang remembered something and said immediately: "By the way, Uri, look at the crew in the tank just now, are they Russians or British?"

Ulyanko thought for a while and said: "The driver has a Russian face, but it's hard to say about the others. Oh, one of them didn't wear tank crew clothes, but wore a desert camouflage combat uniform. , should not be a tank crew."

Gao Yang was overjoyed and immediately shouted to the person not far behind: "Big dog, there should be someone from Khomczny here. Do you want to take a look?"

Grolev perked up after hearing this. It was okay anyway. He fired the machine gun and ran over immediately. He asked Gao Yang and the others to check the other tank first, and he got into the tank cabin alone.

The other tank looked much more miserable. A small hole was blown out of the roof, almost in the middle, and next to the small hole was a scorched black.

The top hatch of the second tank was also unlocked. This time Ulyanko didn't even have to shout. He opened the hatch and immediately got in without caring that the inside was dirty.

The crew members or corpses inside the tank that were hit by anti-tank missiles could not be seen at all. Although there was only a small hole on the top of the tank, the inside of the tank was full of traces left by metal jet strikes and burns, and the corpses had It was even more beaten up and riddled with holes.

The warhead part of the anti-tank missile is an armor-piercing projectile, and the destructive power caused by the action of the armor-breaking projectile does not depend on the size of the hole punched in the tank. After the armor-breaking projectile penetrates the armor, it will immediately form an overpressure inside the tank. At the same time, the temperature instantly rises to an ultra-high temperature of three to four thousand degrees, but the outside is just a small hole. If you don't see inside, you have no idea how miserable the situation inside will be.

Armor-piercing bullets also rely on overpressure and the splashing fragments and ultra-high-temperature metal liquid formed when penetrating armor to kill personnel and destroy equipment. Since the energy of armor-piercing bullets is mainly concentrated on breaking armor, they are very harmful to the occupants and equipment in the vehicle. The effect is lower than that of armor-piercing bullets, and the probability of igniting the fuel in the car is also lower than that of armor-piercing bullets.

Also, after an armor-piercing projectile penetrates thick armor of more than 100 millimeters, the divergence angle of the fragments and metal jet is only about 30 degrees, but for thin armor, the divergence angle will increase to more than 100 degrees, and the armor-piercing projectile will penetrate The divergence angle behind the armor is very stable. After penetrating the armor, the rear fragmentation divergence angle is 60 degrees, which is the same regardless of thickness.

The top armor of the Chieftain is the weakest part of the tank, but it is still very thick. Therefore, after an anti-tank missile penetrates it, although the people inside the tank are dead, the damage to the equipment will not be particularly serious. , that is to say, although the damage of the tank destroyed by the helicopter seems to be much more serious than that of the one blown up by Rafael, it is more likely to have salvage value.

Another key point is that although the Chieftain tank is an old tank, its protective performance is still quite good. If it is a Russian-made tank, the ammunition inside is likely to be detonated, and the entire tank will be blown to pieces. In addition to selling The scrap metal has no other use, but the Chieftain tank is still intact.

Sure enough, Ulyanke endured the strong stench of several shots and after checking inside the tank for a long time, he finally stuck his dark head out of the top hatch. After taking a few deep breaths, he said happily: " Not bad, not bad, this tank can be sold for at least two to three hundred thousand dollars, Ram, I recycle 20,000, how about it?"

Porovich also had a smile on his face and said: "Not bad, very good. We can earn at least an extra two hundred thousand dollars this time."

Gao Yang said helplessly: "You two, I'm sorry, I can't help it. I have to ask you, you are both rich people, a mere two hundred thousand dollars, is it worth you being so excited?"

Ulyanko and Porovitch said in unison, saying at the same time without missing a word: "Of course it's worth it. You don't understand. Life is difficult for arms dealers now, not to mention that the profits from this business are all our own!" (To be continued...)
