Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 746 The new weapon in the 746 broadcast

The 1st Armored Division marched north from Cangjian Gorge, almost sweeping the positions of the Dahua Army on the flank.Advanced Leopard tanks began to appear frequently in front of the troops of the Great China Empire, which further confirmed the existence of this new type of tank.

The top brass of the Dahua army panicked after receiving the new information, because they really didn't want to see the new weapons of the Tang Kingdom.

Feng Kezhi was in Fengjiang's headquarters, and the imperial general was being tortured to death by the scorching war recently.

Although his troops had stabilized their positions, the pressure was not easy for him as a commander.

On the one hand, he must always be prepared to deal with the troubles caused by the blind command of the emperor behind him, and on the other hand, he must also prepare for the more violent attack that the Tang army may launch later.

Just kidding, the stop of the Tang army's attack is obviously not because the defense of the Dahua army has worked, so Feng Kezhi knows very well that when a troop stops on its own initiative, it is mostly to wait for reinforcements to arrive and then come back more ruthlessly.

This is like wrestling, only when you hold your fists can you organize a more threatening attack.Feng Kezhi understands this truth, so he has to be prepared.

The good news is that in the northwest of Dahua, the Qin State with harsh natural conditions has the most valiant soldiers in the world. These soldiers are now arriving at the front line one after another to fight for the Dahua Empire.

Although these Qin troops are sometimes not very obedient, and often violate the agreement and plunder nearby villages to raise military pay and food, they are indeed very powerful in fighting.

But there is also a lot of bad news, such as the confirmed Tang Jun's new tank.

Funk looked impatiently at the officer who came to deliver the news, and asked helplessly in his tone, "Why did a new tank appear again? Are you sure it's not an improved No. 4 tank?"

The officer nodded very positively, and answered Feng Kezhi's question: "It's definitely not, that new tank is very easy to identify, and the tank's hull uses a large piece of slanted armor."

The last trace of his illusion was disillusioned, and Feng Kezhi's face became even more difficult to look at.But he is still a little psychologically prepared, because even he himself knows that such news is generally infallible.

After all, the No. 4 tank has been used on the battlefield for a long time, and the appearance of the side skirt hanging on the outside and the curved steel plate on the outside of the turret is very easy to identify.

Moreover, the front armor of the No. 4 tank is vertically distributed into upper and lower parts, which is very certain.

Feng Kezhi knew that the new tank was indeed not No. 4 after hearing the officer who came to deliver the news that the upper armor of Tang Jun's new tank was inclined.

So, he directly asked the question he was most concerned about: "Why is it tilted? Is there any explanation for this?"

Exactly how thick the new Leopard tank is, and why it is designed with slanted armor is an unknown mystery to the Dahua army, and their understanding of this new type of tank is almost zero.

The No. 4 tank had a record of being destroyed on the battlefield of Qi State before. At that time, the advisers of Qi State and Cyric got many wrecks of the No. 4 tank at all costs.

Even after the Mirage troops destroyed the No. 4 tank, they took photos and recorded a lot of data.

Although the data found from the wreckage is not accurate, it provides some references to some extent: this is completely different from completely blinding your eyes and knowing nothing.

The unknown sometimes means fear!

The officer shook his head and asked three questions: "I don't know, the engineers are still experimenting, but the data is not accurate, and there is no result for the time being."

"Why have they already started mass production, and the engineers on our side haven't copied the results yet?" The next second, Feng Kezhi blurted out, asking a question that Cyric's engineers often ask.

The officer also answered the answer that Cyric engineers often come up with to answer such questions: "We know almost nothing about the new technology, and what we are using now is the outdated technology of the Datang Group that we have not fully understood. , this is impossible.”

In the past few years, Tang's new weapons have emerged one after another, and new technologies will always cause headaches for Cyric designers and engineers who try to follow up.

The emergence of each new type of weapon is the accumulation of one, or even ten or dozens of new technologies.

This kind of iteration cannot be completed before the old technology is fully understood: sometimes plagiarism is not easy, and making a complex weapon is not as simple as painting a few ABCDs on the answer sheet.

The old technologies are half-understood, and it is naturally impossible to follow up the new technologies once they come out.A country can't even repair a MiG-21. Who would believe that it can manufacture stealth aircraft?
Cyric is in this state now. They are still studying the design ideas of the battleship's power system and armor protection. They are still trying to find a way to make the aircraft enter the era of monoplanes. They are still thinking about whether to install two more turrets on the tank. Fulfilling the long-cherished dream of a Land Cruiser...

Under this premise, it is indeed a bit embarrassing for them to understand why Tang Jun's tanks use inclined armor.

However, I believe they will soon experiment with the corresponding data and find that the protection of the inclined armor is slightly better than that of the vertical armor, and then they will adopt similar design ideas in their next-generation tank design...

It's a pity that it will probably be a year before Cyric's new tank is put into mass production. By then, the war is probably over.

"Think about the air force. Our army is pretty good. I heard that the planes on the air force's side are a whole generation behind. They can't fight at all." After the officer explained, he also mocked everyone for no reason. China's Air Force.

Recently, the commanders of the Army have criticized the Air Force. From time to time, they made a cynicism, and even held a gun with a stick in the meeting, accusing the Air Force of inaction...

The reason for this is the dissatisfaction caused by the Air Force's recent passive avoidance of war: [-]% of the Air Force formed at a large price was destroyed on the ground, and the pilots did not even dare to take off into the air to fight, allowing the Dahua Army to be bombed by the enemy's Air Force. Who can have no opinion?
The air force commanders are actually wronged: their pilot skills are not as good as their opponents, and their planes are not as good as their opponents.
He wanted to preserve his strength, so he stopped flying into the air to fight. As a result, once the air supremacy was lost, the army's dissatisfaction seemed to be overwhelming.

Feng Kezhi is aware of the difficulties of the Air Force, and he also understands the choice of the Air Force to avoid war before the new aircraft arrive at the front line and before the number increases.

But he understands that he understands, and whether the lowly people understand or not is out of his control: if you want to stop Yoyo's mouth, the Air Force must show results to speak.

Hearing the army officers began to mock the air force again, Feng Kezhi gave a wry smile, and brought the topic back to the army: "How are we doing better? Dahua 2 tanks are already fighting against Tang's 4 tanks. It's very stressful, and now there's another damn tank whose name I don't know! This is not over...and that, that..."

For a while, he couldn't remember the name of the armored vehicle he heard before. The reconnaissance troops of the Dahua Army were beaten badly by this kind of enemy armored vehicles, which were almost less than tanks.

The adjutant next to him immediately kindly reminded: "An eight-wheeled armored vehicle. It is extremely fast on the road and often surprises our troops. That thing also appeared in this war. Before that, no one in the Qi State War I've seen similar weapons."

"Damn it!" Feng Kezhi muttered, compared with the new Tang Army tanks that first appeared in the direction of Wangchun City, he was more impressed with the Tang Army's lion tank.

After all, this thing appeared in front of him and caused him many unexpected troubles.It is much more agile than a tank, and it is elusive and very difficult to deal with.

The Lion-style armored reconnaissance vehicle, which often operates by bicycle, has excellent off-road capabilities. The small car can carry cannons and has strong anti-tank capabilities. This thing reverses extremely fast, and it runs away when hit.
The basic tactics of the Tang army's reconnaissance troops are to scout ahead and retreat when they find a bargain. Relying on their own mobility and flexibility, they not only saw the defensive deployment of the Dahua troops, but also often took advantage of the two artillery pieces.

So Feng Kezhi hated this kind of thing very much. Once he went to the front line to inspect, he encountered this kind of weapon from Tang Jun.The other party attacked his convoy mysteriously. Fortunately, he had already got out of the car and entered the bunker at that time, so he escaped unharmed.

The adjutant continued to speak: "The radio said that it is called the Lion armored reconnaissance vehicle, which is a wheeled armored vehicle. The engineers believe that the other party's use of wheeled vehicles is deliberately pursuing a higher driving speed."

Feng Kezhi finally remembered that this thing is called a reconnaissance vehicle, and he became even more angry for a while: "Yes! Reconnaissance vehicles... Well, their reconnaissance vehicles are all defeated by our tanks! And our reconnaissance troops are still cavalry! Horsemen cavalry!"

The Dahua army does not have advanced gadgets such as armored reconnaissance vehicles, and they don't even have radio communication equipment.

Therefore, the reconnaissance troops of the Dahua Army are very backward, and can be said to be a replica of the reconnaissance troops of the Tang Army five years ago: a large number of cavalry troops rely on the naked eye to find the enemy, and then come back after the reconnaissance and report what they have seen with their own eyes.

Not to mention the dangers of this work, there is also a high delay: by the time the cavalry returns to report the situation, the enemy tanks are likely to be within a kilometer or two.

Tang Jun's cross-country speed is almost comparable to that of cavalry, which is why Dahua's troops can't catch up or run away.The huge gap in weapons made Feng Kezhi passively defensive, which made the imperial general very annoyed.

Cyric's technical advisor, standing next to Funk, admitted his technical weakness with some embarrassment: "Yes, the opponent's heavy armored vehicles pose a high threat to our tanks, the Lion armored reconnaissance vehicle, and There's the Panzer IV and the Stug IV ... plus that brand new tank that can destroy all of our tanks."

However, he quickly explained for his consortium: "We can be sure that Tang Jun has an advanced vehicle-mounted real-time communication device. We are conducting research in this area and will have results soon."

Feng Kezhi glanced at Cyric's advisor, not ashamed to expose his lies: Cyric promised to research a lot of technologies, but everything was in a dream.

The Tang Kingdom has been using the technology for several years, and not only has Cyric not developed it, but he has not even figured out the basic principles.

It is a single-wing all-metal-skinned fighter jet, which was finally developed by the skilled craftsmen of the Dahua Empire... Unfortunately, compared with the butcher fighter jet of the Datang Kingdom, it is really not a star.

After making complaints about the Tang Army's Lion armored reconnaissance vehicle, Feng Kezhi finally remembered this new enemy tank that had just appeared in his combat zone.He looked at the officer who came to send the news, and continued to ask: "New tank... new tank... What are the characteristics of that thing?"

The officer immediately answered the general's question: "According to the testimonies of our surviving tankers and infantrymen, the biggest feature of the enemy's new tanks is the use of a slanted armor plate right in front of the hull..."

"I've already said that." Feng Kezhi waved his hand impatiently.

The officer looked at the information in his hand with some embarrassment, and added: "Uh, what's more, the enemy's new tanks use double rows of staggered road wheels, one on top of the other, which is very complicated. Our engineers also What is the purpose of this design has not yet been analyzed.”

In the same way, Cyric's engineers are still feeling the subtle relationship between the track and the pressure, and it is impossible to understand the beauty of the double-row road wheels.

Moreover, the machining precision of this structure is very high, which is much more complicated than other WWII-era road wheel suspension systems.This is also an important reason why it was eliminated: the shock absorption effect provided by this thing is obviously not as obvious as the disaster it brings to logistical support.

But for the crew members, this kind of complex load wheel is really cool: in the field marching state, the stability of the Panther tank's body is simply against the sky. To a certain extent, it guarantees the stability of the tank Team members have a higher continuous combat capability.

Of course, it is impossible for Cyric's engineers to understand the number of road wheels, the relationship between the diameter of the road wheels and the entire shock absorber system.

In the past two years, they barely transplanted the shock absorber system of the car to the tank, and improved it so that the tank can continue to fight in a bumpy environment.

These are completely two ways of thinking. Tang Guo's engineers want to make the tank more comfortable and more usable, while Cyric's engineers want to make the tank barely usable...

Feng Kezhi glanced at Cyric's engineer, who was already quite embarrassed, and thoughtfully omitted the steps of explanation for him: "Go on!"

He had already seen that the technical consultant from Cyric in front of him actually knew no more than Feng Kezhi about Tang Jun's cutting-edge military equipment.

Even, it is very likely that this consultant knows more Dahua troops than the frontlines: at least Dahua's troops were the first to discover Tang Jun's Leopard tanks. If they didn't find out, Cyric might not even know Tang Jun has this thing.

This is the same reason that Qi's army was the first to know how terrifying Tang's air force was, and mirage soldiers were the first to use helmets, grenades and landmines.

The soldiers who are playing their lives in front are always the first to think of a way: if they don't think of a way for themselves, they can only die on the ground.

However, the engineers who were doing research later seemed to have no such urgency: for them, the slower development of weapons and equipment was nothing more than a reduction in bonuses.

However, due to the limited cultural level of the front-line troops, it is easy to ignore some details: for example, in the characteristics of the Panther tank they provided this time, a very important part was ignored in the description of the car body.

Tang Jun has begun to use wider tracks to reduce the pressure of the tank on the ground.This is a piece of information that may not seem obvious, but is very important!
If it is viewed by professionals, at least it can be judged that the weight of the Leopard tank is much larger than that of the No. 4 tank, so it is probably guessed that the protection level of the Leopard tank has been qualitatively improved.

The report in the officer's hand did not mention the track, because the Dahua troops on the front line did not think that the width of the track would cause harm to them.What they care more about is the artillery on this new type of tank!
Therefore, when the officer spoke again, he was talking about artillery: "The third feature is that the enemy's new tanks use longer-barreled artillery... a bit like the long-barreled guns on battleships, It looks more majestic."

He also had no way of judging the power of the artillery, because Dahua's tank armor was not very thick, and Tang Jun's short-barreled 75mm gun could penetrate it in one shot, but the penetration distance was relatively short.

So his description of the power of the new artillery was very vague, and he used an adjective that sounded very unprofessional: "prestige"...

Feng Kezhi still has some knowledge in this area. He is a soldier and has a good understanding of the performance of artillery.

So he glanced at the awkward Cyric engineer again, and said, "A more powerful cannon! I don't need an engineer to analyze this. A longer barrel means a more powerful cannon! "

"Yes! General! The power is indeed greater... The enemy is now more willing to fire directly at a distance of 1000 meters, destroying our army's tanks trying to approach the enemy." The officer looked at the data on the report and nodded. .

According to the report, Tang troops equipped with new tanks will be more inclined to choose to fire at a longer distance, and the furthest destroyed distance is even 1500 meters, which is an incredible number.

Logically speaking, a tank at a distance of one kilometer is not too big in the sight, and it can destroy the target at a distance of 1500 meters, basically relying on luck to hit a dead mouse.

But even if it's a blind cat, it's still a cat.Being able to destroy the tanks of the Dahua army at such a long distance, firstly, it shows that Tang Jun's tank guns can really hit so far and so ruthlessly, and secondly, it also shows that Tang Jun's aiming equipment can see so far, and can aim so far!
"So far away? No wonder our tank troops are losing more and more money." So, after hearing what the officer said, Feng Kezhi immediately frowned.

He didn't have many tanks in the first place, and they were all supported by Qian Jinhang to attack Xi Cong earlier, but now he had to be more cautious when facing a more powerful opponent.

"General! General! The latest news! The latest intelligence!" At this time, an officer who was in charge of listening to Tang Jun's radio came in and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.

"Say!" Feng Kezhi looked at the other party and ordered.

"The enemy admitted the existence of this new type of tank on the radio, and called this new type of tank a Leopard tank!" The officer said the name of the Leopard tank as if he had found a treasure. Obviously Tang Jun didn't mind showing off his new tank. Weaponry.

"Panther Tank?" After hearing the name, Feng Kezhi seemed to have thought of something bad, and his expression became much more depressed.

"Panther tank!" The officer nodded, he could not hear it wrong, and Tang Jun repeated it many times very thoughtfully.

The broadcast said that the new tanks were invincible on the battlefield, and the Dahua army fled. It was said that Fengjiang was about to become the possession of the Tang army.

Obviously, there is a lot of moisture in this report.At least the Dahua officers in Fengjiang know that there is still some distance from the front line, and the Tang army has not advanced to the outskirts of Fengjiang as they said on the radio.

Finally, as if thinking of something, after hearing the name for the first time, Feng Kezhi had a sudden realization: No wonder the opponent’s armored reconnaissance vehicle is called the Lion, and the original naming method has changed.

The new armored reconnaissance vehicle is designed to support this newer tank, so it is equipped with a fire system similar to that of the No. 4 tank.

It seems that Tang Jun is preparing to reinstall this new type of tank in the future, which also means that the No. 4 tank they were chasing before is being eliminated by Tang Jun.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Tang Jun is stepping up the mass production of its own Leopard tanks, and is providing more new shells for the Leopard tanks.

The 75mm caliber gun with a long barrel is very powerful, and its function is much better than the 75mm caliber gun with a short barrel.

In the short term, it is unlikely that any country in the world will produce tanks better than the Leopard tanks in a short period of time, so Tang Jun can rest assured and manufacture more Leopard tanks for his own use.

Of course, Feng Kezhi didn't know all this. What he was thinking about now was how to build as many anti-tank trenches as possible to make the defense line near the south more secure.

Because the new tanks of the Tang army came from the southern region to the north, so they will definitely appear in the south of Fengjiang first.

The Dahua Empire was not unprepared. The Qin army arrived at the front line and brought more anti-aircraft guns and heavy artillery, which greatly strengthened the defense force in the direction of Fengjiang.

As long as Fengjiang is guarded, the previous loss and impact of the Dahua Empire will be offset.The situation will stabilize, and the Dahua Empire will still have a chance to breathe!
What Feng Kezhi fought for was this opportunity! ——
