C2626 Front and Back Pincer
The Challenger Tank's engine started making strange sounds.
As a tank driver, there was a huge difference between him and an ordinary car driver. Because they were absolutely blind operators, just like how one would be blind when typing on a keyboard. When they were operating a tank, they wouldn't even look at the operation poles of the tank. All sorts of instruments.
If they were driving normally, they would stick their heads out. If they were exposed outside, at least their field of vision would be more open, otherwise... They could only hide inside the tank and look at the road through the periscope used for observation in front of them. At this time, his field of vision was even narrower, and he was a little careless. They could be in danger, so they had to keep watching with their naked eyes. How could he have the chance to look down at the various operating systems?
If the tanks in Bear Country were to operate while lying down, it would be even more unbearable.
Therefore, they wouldn't know that the engine was already starting to heat up. After the high-speed operation just now, the temperature of the engine was rapidly rising. The radiator wasn't able to release all the temperature, so the temperature was getting higher and higher. Soon, it was close to the red line area.
The heat dissipation of the engine was very important, if the temperature was too high, when the piston was running inside the tank... Because of the thermal expansion and contraction, it will cause the piston to be unable to function smoothly, and when it's serious, the piston and the cylinder will be stuck. This was what made people's faces change when they heard it. Once the cylinder was pulled, the entire piston cylinder would be considered a waste.
This was the situation right now.
In the environment of Europe, such a situation could not possibly occur. After entering the desert, all natural conditions were going against them.
The only thing that didn't fear the high temperature was the gas turbine. That kind of power originally worked under the high temperature, but the gas turbine, this kind of monster that drank oil, was not something that an ordinary country could afford.
After the sound of the engine appeared abnormal, the captain noticed it first.
"Look at the water temperature meter!" The captain shouted.
"Damn it, the engine temperature is high!" The driver's foot loosened from the accelerator pedals. Now the engine had to slow down for a while.
The best thing was to turn off the engine and open the cooling windows behind, waiting for the engine temperature to return to normal before walking again. However, this was clearly not appropriate. This was a battlefield. Staying in the same spot was definitely courting death.
They could only move forward slowly.
Just as they slowed down, smoke and dust were already rolling in front of them. When they saw the Tank Force in front of them, the conductor immediately cried out in alarm, "We have discovered the main force of the enemy, the Tank Force! Quick, high-explosive plastic projectile, get ready!"
The yellow and orange high-explosive plastic projectile was stuffed into the barrel of the cannon.
Cattle Country was a veteran country. As a veteran, they naturally had their pride. On the tank, they were the first to change into 120mm tank gun. However, this kind of tank gun was completely different from the current one.
There were riflemen inside the tank gun, and they were called Rifle Gun. These riflemen could make the cannonballs spin and fly out. To increase the stability of the cannonball, it had always been the mainstream for a long time. The 105mm Rifle Gun of the main force of Western World was like this.
At the same time, there were also those who did not have rifle-rifles-rifle-loaded guns. Although there were no riflemen, the tail of the cannonball could still be attached to it. This way, it could maintain stability, just like how an arrow worked. Because there were no riflelines, the resistance inside the barrel was even smaller. The speed at which the barrel came out was greater, and at the same time, it also prevented the wear and tear on the rifle. One had to know that even if they used some kind of internal coating, the Rifle Gun fired two hundred cannonballs at the same time. The inside of the barrel would be bald, but there was no such restriction as sliding. When cleaning the barrel of the cannon, the Rifle Gun was even more difficult.
Therefore, the Rifle Gun had already been eliminated. The mainstream 120 mm cannon. The 125mm cannons of Bear Country were all loaded. As for the armored soldiers of the Cattle Country... However, they stubbornly equipped the Rifle Gun. This was also to show that they had a long heritage.
At the same time, only the Rifle Gun could use a special bullet type like the high-explosive plastic projectile. Up until now, the armored soldiers of the Cattle Country still retained a special bullet type like the high-explosive plastic projectile.
Among the mainstream artillery shells used to deal with armor, there were two main methods. The first was to rely on kinetic energy to forcefully ram into the enemy's armor, creating a hole. The other is to rely on metal projectiles. The principle of the Energy Gathering Combat Department was to burn through the armor with a fine melting metal.
In addition to these two methods, there was another method that was unpopular. It was the high-explosive plastic projectile. The principle behind this cannon was very special. It did not need to penetrate the opponent's armor. When it hit the armor, the inner layer of the armor would collapse. Relying on these metal sputtering to kill the enemy, this was the principle of the high-explosive plastic projectile.
It did not need to penetrate the armor to kill the enemy.
Now, it was time for this kind of cannon to display its might!
Chief Launcher began to aim. When his laser distance detector started firing the Laser Beam, he immediately encountered the same problem.
Unable to measure the distance!
Precise long-range attacks relied on precise distance values. Now that he did not know this, he simply could not accurately attack. What was going on?
Chief Launcher anxiously shouted, "The distance detector is broken. Now switch to manual means!"
Since he could not measure the distance with a laser, even if it was rough, he could only aim with his eyes. His eyes were close to the aiming device. His hand started to turn the gear, pressing down on the tank on the opposite side. Then, he carefully adjusted it.
Before he opened fire, he saw the tank on the opposite side open fire!0
Tankers from Coconut Jujube Country opened fire even earlier than them!
Two thousand meters away, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet flew out of the barrel and headed towards them. The captain shouted, "Quick, brake!"
This was a choice that almost every captain would make. Moreover, their current engine could not operate at high efficiency, so they could not avoid the attack by speeding up. They could only stop.
At the same time, they heard the sound of a huge metal collision behind them.
Damn it, they were surrounded. Not only were there blockades in front of them, but there were also pursuers behind them. The tanks that they were chasing had returned!
At this moment, the distance was 2,500 meters!
Even the 79 tanks that were chasing from behind had never thought that they would actually be hit from such a long distance. The fire control system of Han Country was terrifyingly accurate!
Of course, there was also luck involved. If the opponent did not brake, this cannonball would not be able to hit the opponent's tank at all. But now... As the enemy braked, the cannonball just happened to land at the rear of the tank. It landed on the Engine Compartment. How could the thin steel plate there block the attack of the 120mm tungsten alloy long rod armor-piercing bullet!?
"Bang!"
