Chapter 777 Mouse Tank (Plus 5)
"The king is still in the city. Just today, during the day, the king and the queen were inspecting the city together." While patrolling, the supervising team instilled this fact with the soldiers on the front line.
"Behind us is London, our capital. For many years, we have never been beaten by the enemy. Now, we must fight bravely to defend our capital!"
The king, just behind him, without losing an inch of land, here, fight the Germans decisively!
The news continued to spread on the ground, and gradually, the soldiers' mood calmed down.
Yes, the king appeared in the city every day. When digging trenches, the citizens spread the word. Even one day, the king appeared in the suburbs to dig trenches with everyone.
How could such a king abandon the city and run away?
It is the enemy who is doing random propaganda, the enemy is fighting psychological warfare, and absolutely cannot be fooled by the enemy!
It's just that, all night, the other side is so clamoring, which can't help but make people a little annoying.
At this high pitch, no one can fall asleep.
When the day comes, when the sun in the east emerges, almost everyone looks at the opposite side with red circles under their eyes, the Germans, are they going to play fatigue tactics?
But, throughout the day, there was nothing but shouting from the Germans!
Another day has passed, and from day to night, the Germans only seem to be shouting!
So, this night, most of the soldiers stuffed cotton into their ears, hugged their weapons, and fell asleep in the trenches. If they don't sleep, they will collapse. Maybe the Germans have this idea!
This time, I slept quite comfortably, and the tension of the past few days was relieved in my sleep. However, most people's sleep is with their own wives, children, or parents.
They are a little homesick.
"Boom, boom." On the opposite side, there was a huge roar, and with the roar, the entire ground trembled.
The soldiers who were sleeping were awakened one after another. They rubbed their eyes and slowly stuck their heads out from behind the parapet to observe the front. Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
what is that?
A huge monster appeared in the opposite position!
This monster looks incomparably tall, it is like a cruiser, it has been driven to the land!
This is a tank, the overall configuration is completely similar to the tank, the bottom is the car body, the top is the turret, but, equivalent to an ordinary tank, more than doubled!
Is the entire car body four meters wide?
They can only see the front, the wide car body of the other side, and the crawler track on the opposite side, I am afraid that it is more than one meter wide, and its height is definitely more than three meters!
How much should such a big guy weigh? Certainly more than a hundred tons!
At this time, they already had an ominous premonition in their hearts. The Germans have been promoting propaganda for the past two days. In fact, it is a cover. The real purpose of the Germans is to wait for this big guy. Our own anti-tank trenches!
They can't see each other's hulls from the side, but as you can imagine, the opponent's hulls are definitely quite long too, long enough to easily straddle their own anti-tank trenches!
At the front end of this huge tank, there are also two large iron wheels. When the wheels are rolling forward, there will be occasional explosions. It is a buried anti-tank mine that was crushed in advance by the wheels.
The weapons of the Germans have refreshed the world record time and time again, and they have also made opponents hard to guard against!
This weapon, the most proud work of Dr. Porsche, has been officially named the Rat Tank by the Weapons Bureau!
Equipment generation, finalization generation, pre-research generation, now, German weapons and equipment have embarked on the fast lane.
The Panther 3 tank is already the most powerful tank equipped by Germany, enough to sweep the whole world, but Germany will never be satisfied.
A new generation of Tiger tanks is being developed steadily. In the initial state, this tank is designed according to the 45-ton tank, and at the same time, it has enough potential to expand to 60 tons.
In the competition of the Tiger Tank, Porsche's product bid failed. Compared with Henschel, Dr. Porsche's ideas were more open-minded. He came up with electricity to promote this cross-century creation.
In pursuit of the stability of the equipment, the Weapons Bureau chose Henschel's plan, but Dr. Porsche's bid failed.
After the failure, Porsche is very uncomfortable. After all, as a technical madman, realizing his technical ideal is what he hopes most.
He felt that his life was worthless, and at this time, President Cyric personally gave Porsche a new generation of tank development projects.
The initial plan of the project was a 100-ton tank!
This project made Dr. Porsche extremely excited.
You must know that after the weight exceeds 50 tons, the poor mechanical transmission will be unreliable, especially the clutch device, which will be reimbursed regularly. If it exceeds 100 tons, then the mechanical transmission will not be at all. Impossible to adapt.
Only electric drive will do!
Ordinary mechanical transmission is the engine, clutch, gearbox, all the way to the driving wheel, which drives the track.
In electric transmission, the engine drives the generator, and the power of the generator is then transmitted to the motor, which is decelerated by gears and directly drives the crawler, eliminating the need for intermediate links and eliminating the need for complex mechanical speed change devices, which naturally improves stability. .
However, in the chassis of the Tiger, it is terrible, and the faults continue because Dr. Porsche can't solve the problem of heat dissipation. The generator and the motor are easily burned out.
So, what about expanding to a hundred tons now? Instead, it's easier because there's more space in the power compartment!
At this time, the rat-type tank that came over was twelve meters long, and half of the space belonged to the power compartment!
If it is directly driven, a diesel engine is the best choice, because the torque is large, but if it drives a generator, it is definitely the first power output. Therefore, Dr. Porsche directly brought the latest 1800-horsepower Daimler - Mercedes-Benz DB601ARJ engine.
Yes, it is the engine used in the BF109 aircraft. After further improvement, the power has finally reached the order of 1800 horsepower. Moreover, this is a liquid-cooled engine, so there is no need to worry about heat dissipation.
The engine provides energy to the generator through an indirect gearbox, and the electricity generated by the engine is used to drive two electric motors, which drive the action gears to move the vehicle. In the test, it once ran a terrifying speed of 38 kilometers per hour.
