Chapter 400 A Different T-34 Tank (2)
Zakharov couldn't help but admire him. It was the T-34\\85 tank operated by Zhang Huangxin's 576 crew that impressed him so deeply...
After the 576th crew was reorganized from a heavy firepower company to an armored regiment, the T-34\\85 tank they operated did not look like much change, except for the middle and rear part of the S-53 85mm tank gun.
There is an extra bamboo-like protrusion more than half a meter long, as if the entire barrel is not cast in one piece, but is hooped together by the metal "bamboo".
Although Zakharov noticed this, he did not ask in detail. In his opinion, this was nothing more than a new trick of the Chinese comrades in the Volunteer Army Logistics Department to repair damaged tank guns. After all, the 576th vehicle crew was doing this in the heavy fire company.
He had also heard about the high-intensity training, and several serious tank damage failures were well known to everyone.
Therefore, Zakharov concluded that the T-34\\85 tank of the 576th crew was probably tortured by the Chinese for a while before it was returned to construction. Otherwise, why would there be a "plaster" on the tank gun?
For this reason, Zakharov privately said with contempt to his other Soviet colleagues: "Our Chinese comrades are too ambitious and do not have the economic and technical conditions to explore some multi-arms combined tactics. Now they can
Well, when the tank gun is broken, they are reluctant to replace it with a new one, so they can only use steel pipes to hoop the barrel. Under such conditions, I think they should face reality!"
Zakharov's words were filled with the disdain of a rich man who had no worries about food and clothing and his poor neighbors. He just felt that the Chinese army is really ambitious and it doesn't matter how hard it goes as long as it has the economic and technical conditions.
But now China can't even make a tank road wheel in China. It cares about purchasing spare parts for Soviet tanks to the point where it insists on asking the Soviet Union to buy one and get one free on tank spare parts.
After getting it, he went through a lot of troubles without any intention of caring for it. This made Zaharov see it in his eyes and make him angry in his heart.
But soon, Zakharov's anger and contempt turned into admiration and attention during a shooting training organized by an armored regiment, because he saw with his own eyes that Zhang Huangxin's 576th car crew used the T
—The 34\\85 tank is already extremely accurate in firing, and its rate of fire is even more astonishingly fast.
So much so that this tank of the 576th crew could catch up with the firepower output of the three tanks next to it. It was so powerful that even armored veterans like Zakharov who had fought against elite German armored forces could not help but look at it.
I have to be amazed again and again.
For nothing else, just relying on this rate of fire, as long as the terrain is suitable and the tactics are appropriate, it is not impossible to repeat the miracle of the Soviet KV God Cult, single-handedly blocking a German division.
After realizing this, not to mention Major Zakharov, but also his boss, the captain of the Soviet instructor corps in charge of an entire armored regiment of the Volunteer Army, could not sit still. Before the shooting training was over, he rushed to 576 regardless of the situation.
In front of the T-34\\85 tank where the crew is located.
With the leader taking the lead, Zakharov and other Soviet instructors scrambled to be the first, and soon the tanks of the 576th crew were surrounded by three layers inside and three outside.
As a result, after such on-the-spot inspection, it was discovered that the tank operated by the 576 crew was able to achieve such amazing firepower output, all thanks to the bamboo-like iron rod at the middle and rear of the gun barrel that Zaharov and others had always despised.
hoop.
Because it was the existence of the iron hoop that allowed all the originally dense shell exhaust to be evacuated, thus greatly improving the environment inside the tank. The tank crews who no longer had to worry about the danger of exhaust gas naturally used their full strength without any scruples.
It created the miraculous firepower output in the scene just now.
After learning the inside story, the captain of the Soviet Instructor Corps immediately felt as if he had acquired a rare treasure. Regardless of his fat body, he hummed and climbed onto the gun barrel, holding the tank gun smoker and looking left and right, mouthing.
He muttered as if there was not enough in it: "This thing is so good. With it, I won't be afraid of those unpleasant exhaust gases... It's so good... It's so good..."
Not only the captain, but also other Soviet instructors were like this. Even Zakharov, whom he had despised the most before, his eyes were shining brightly, thinking about how to learn this technique.
This will not only improve the tank's combat capability to a higher level, but will also completely transform him from an unknown technical officer to a respected technical expert. This kind of killing two birds with one stone is really the greatest gift from God to him.
.
However, he forgot one thing. God's gift was not only given to him, but also to the other Soviet instructors surrounding the 576 crew tank. It seemed that more than half of it was also given to the instructor commander, because the old guy not only climbed
He went to the gun barrel to observe every detail of the smoker at close range, which even made Zhang Huangxin shout out that people around him kept asking questions.
Fortunately, Zhang Huangxin was not very clear about the details, and instructors like them who only knew about combat and maintenance obviously couldn't understand the actual principles, so Zakharov was worried about being robbed.
My heart gradually calmed down.
However, just when he secretly hid this thought and prepared to wait for the time to come out and release it, he did not expect that God would give him another great gift. He actually sent the inventor of the tank smoker directly to him.
Immediately, the hidden thoughts jumped out.
So much so that Zaharov couldn't help but make a 180-degree turn towards Bai Yi. The enthusiasm he showed could melt steel: "Actually, I have long been interested in smoking."
I have admired the inventor of the invention for a long time, but I never expected that he would be such a young and powerful comrade.
You were right just now. Both Soviet tanks and Western armored vehicles have their own unique advantages. As the German philosopher Hegel said, existence is reasonable. Since the West insists on using complex hydraulic-mechanical transmission
The system must have its merits!"
Bai Yi simply couldn't imagine that the Soviet major who had just been aggressively teaching him the greatness of Soviet equipment thought would suddenly change the topic and start talking about the advantages and disadvantages of Eastern and Western equipment, with that polite look, and
With such an eclectic tone, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Bai Yi would simply not believe that the person in front of him was actually the same person.
But at this time, he had already learned from Zhang Huangxin that Zakharov had learned the art of a tank gun smoker. He must have been arrogant in front of others and respectful in the back. His thoughts were not pure, so...
"Such a transmission device that can be recognized by you two experts is naturally a good thing. Now I am wondering whether this energy-saving transmission system can be put on the new tank you made, Expert Yi. If so,
Then the combat effectiveness of our crew will be even more powerful!"
Just when Bai Yi was thinking about how to respond to Zaharov's words, Zhang Huangxin's loud and thick voice interrupted Bai Yi's thoughts, while Zaharov on the other side froze in disbelief.
