Chapter 191 Rage T-26

In terms of volume and length, it is larger than CV33, but in terms of height, the other party is far beyond!

CV33, the top of the car body is almost flat, and the tank on the opposite side has a large turret on top!

The car body is high in the front and low in the back, the neck is a bit long, and a turret is placed on it. This tank is the Soviet T-26! Especially at the top of the turret, the firewood-like tank gun made the Italian tankers here terrified.

The other side also has tanks, and, on the other side's tanks, there are tank guns! Look at the caliber, it's 45mm!

The 45mm tank gun is definitely an outdated tank gun compared to World War II, but now, at the end of 1936, the 45mm tank gun is definitely powerful!

This tank, like the tanks of many other countries, was designed on the basis of the British "Vickers" tank. It was officially finalized in 1931 and was equipped with the Soviet Red Army in 1932. It was one of the early main equipment of the Soviet Red Army tank force. .

If compared with the German No. 1 tank in the same period in history, the firepower of the T-26 is much higher than that of No. 1, and more than No. 2, reaching or even exceeding the level of 38t and early No. 3. After all, even the latter two , and are only equipped with 37mm guns.

The early T-26A used a side-by-side twin turret design, the main gun was 37mm caliber, and the T-26B caliber was increased to 45mm.

This embodies a principle of the Soviets, firepower, firepower, firepower! This is the first principle! Maneuvering and protection must give way to firepower!

Even the armor protection of this T-26 light tank is only 15 mm, which is not enough to resist infantry fire. They also have to strengthen the tank guns first!

In the later period, it was the same. When KV2 appeared with a 152mm howitzer, it was like a complete big-headed son, and even won the title of toilet head.

The T-26 tank is a tank that the Soviets have equipped in large numbers. Now, this tank has been secretly shipped to Madrid!

Inside the tank, tank soldiers from the Soviet Union are driving.

Tanks are absolutely high-tech equipment in this era. If you want to train ordinary people to be able to drive tanks to fight, it is impossible without three or five months. If nothing else, the tedious operation essentials need to have a high school level.

Therefore, these tank soldiers are all from the Soviet Union, and in their hands, they have at least one year of experience in operating tanks.

Now, the rebels are attacking Madrid, and this is mainly a defensive battle, but in a defensive battle, you can still fight back several times!

Like now! The rebels are aggressive and need to knock their spirits down!

The engine of the T-26 tank rumbled. This ten-ton tank had a 91-horsepower engine at the rear. At this time, the gasoline engine was roaring, and the tank soldiers operated the tank and launched the opposite Italian army. counterattack.

T-26! It's actually a T-26! When the Italian tank soldiers clearly saw the opposite tank, they made their choice without any hesitation, put in reverse gear and ran away!

Your own machine gun cannot pose a threat to the opponent at all, and the opponent's 45mm tank gun can easily destroy himself!

The Italians are not stupid. Originally, they were looking forward to the German tanks to give them courage. Now, they are the only ones left, and they have no confidence. Now, when they encounter the opposite tanks, they can only be defeated. Select Back.

It is not so easy to operate a tank to turn around and it will waste precious time, so they all chose to hang in reverse gear for the first time.

As for the infantrymen of the Noodle Army who followed, they were not stupid. Seeing that their tanks were all retreating, of course they also followed and ran back.

"Oh, oh!" The soldiers in the back position cheered instantly. They were extremely excited. Just as their tanks were dispatched, they scared the other side back!

The cheers here are encouraging the T-26 tank troops, they stepped on the accelerator, increased their speed, and attacked the direction of the Italian army!

Any kind of tank in this era, the forward speed is greater than the backward speed, so it didn't take long for the T-26 tank to catch up with the retreating CV33 tank!

Although both tanks are small, there is no doubt that the CV33 tank is more compact!

A T-26 tank stopped, and the commander shouted: "Aim, shoot!"

"Boom!" The T-26 tank made a roar, and the body vibrated violently. During the tremor, a 45mm artillery shell flew over!

In this era, how to counterattack armored troops is an emerging topic. After research, there are two common anti-armor shells, hooded armor-piercing shells and steel core armor-piercing shells.

Among them, hooded armor-piercing projectiles are a common solution.

As the inclination of the tank body or the frontal armor of warships is getting larger and larger, this leads to the common pointed armor-piercing projectile being easily bounced off by the inclined armor. The armor-piercing projectile can be "turned straight", reducing the incidence angle of the warhead and making it easier to penetrate the armor.

Therefore, a quilt with better toughness and a flat and blunt shape is welded on the outside of the pointed head of the armor-piercing projectile to reduce jumping. This blunt tip is called the "quilt" of the armor-piercing bullet. This is the blunt quilted armor-piercing round.

These armored soldiers sent by Moscow are very skilled, and they have high accuracy in static-to-motion shooting!

The 45mm armor-piercing projectile that flew out accurately hit the weak armor of CV33. Then, the front quilt just began to soften, and when the warhead inside was ready to exert force, the target armor could no longer withstand the impact. Pressure, disconnected a big hole!

Following this large opening, the 45mm armor-piercing projectile drilled in, penetrated from the front, penetrated to the back, and hit the engine at the back.

A raging fire burst out from the interior of this CV33 tank and destroyed it accurately!

On the Badajoz front, this small tank put a lot of pressure on the defenders, and now, in front of the T-26 tank, this small tank is vulnerable!

The Soviets have always attached great importance to the power of artillery fire. The current 45mm tank gun is also a product of this kind of thinking. How powerful is its firepower? At a distance of 100 meters, about 40 mm of armor steel can be penetrated!

The CV33 small tank, the frontal armor is only a dozen millimeters thick, and it can't stand the shooting of this kind of tank gun! As long as it hits, it will definitely be destroyed!

One after another T-26 made a deafening roar. Under their blows, the Italian army completely retreated!
