Chapter 915: Here comes our tank

At Nell Feinig Air Force Base, one of the first military bases to lose contact with the outside world, Montell felt something was wrong. After all, it is possible that the communication cable was cut, because the furious German people outside also need to vent, and many of them know the location of the communication cable, and the telephone line is also broken.

However, it is impossible to use satellite communication, right? The base radio can also transmit hundreds of kilometers, but now, these can't be used! Satellite communication will not fail at all! Unless the satellite is destroyed! And the radio of the base is impossible to use. It is subjected to strong electromagnetic interference, and it is specially interfered with the frequency band of its own radio!

It seems to be an isolated island, and it has lost any contact with the outside world. Fortunately, it is a military base here, and there are enough food reserves to trap itself.

No matter how fast his own reinforcements are, they can't arrive now, so Montell always feels that something is wrong.

And now, which troops are those tanks coming from outside?

"We can already see the outline clearly, it's the m60 tank and the Leopard 1 tank, it's our troops!" At this moment, on the Challenger tank outside, the British tank soldiers were in the infrared night vision device and saw the movement on the opposite side. The silhouette of the approaching tank suddenly shouted.

Yes, it's your own troops! Look at those m60 tanks, with the logo painted on them, they belong to the US Army! The Leopard 1 tank is also the symbol of the Belgian army!

Sure enough, reinforcements are coming!

When they saw the arrival of these tanks, they had already stopped, and they were ready to rest and build up their strength. The crowd who will continue to demonstrate tomorrow is alarmed again.

"There's another American lackey here, don't let them in!"

"Yes, you can't let them in!" The people of West Germany were extremely angry at this moment! Soon, there were several young guys standing on the road ahead.

"American lackeys! If you want to pass, just get over me!" a West German youth shouted: "You occupied our barracks, occupied our military bases, and imprisoned our defense minister. You are all a bunch of beasts!"

"Yes, you bastards! Release our Minister of Defense!"

People kept standing in the middle of the road. During the day, they didn't do this. As soon as the American reinforcements came over, they rushed in. After that, they finally came up with this method to organize a human wall! If there are more tanks coming, let them pass over them!

At this moment, the opposite tank stopped, the turret was on, the hatch was opened, and an equally young man came out from inside.

"We are not American lackeys! We are the West German Defence Force! Please get out of the way, now, let's rush in and save our people! We must save our Minister of Defense!" the young man on the tank shouted. ad_250_left();

Not American, not British, not from any other Western European country! On top of the tank, is your own boy! Seeing this scene, the West German people immediately became excited!

Finally got our tanks!

"It's our tank, it's our man!"

"Yes, get out of the way and let our tanks pass!"

"These British tanks are here during the day, and now they are just bombarding them!"

"Quick, bomb the British tanks!"

"Yes, I have to take a photo and send it to our bbs!"

"Is your internet fast enough? I have a scanner at my house, send it to my house!"

"Okay, but I have to use my screen name!"

With the constant discussion, at the same time, a road was avoided in the crowd, and the British armored soldiers here were dumbfounded.

how is this possible? How could this be? It was not our own reinforcements that came here at all, but the rebellious German army! Yes, the German army has defected! If they dared to besiege the barracks, and dared to turn around, they were already betraying!

"Quick, call the regiment commander, ask for fire, ask for fire!" A famous tank soldier shouted loudly, but unfortunately, there was a stinging sound in the earphones, the radio interference was very serious, they could only stay behind The soldiers of the guard contacted the tower with an internal telephone.

However, the only thing that makes them happy is that their Challenger tanks have no pressure when facing the opposing M60 tanks and Leopard 1 tanks.

After all, the tanks on the opposite side are equipped with NATO-standard 105mm tank guns, and this tank gun was originally developed and developed by the United Kingdom.

The l7 type 105mm rifled tank gun is a 52-caliber rifled anti-tank developed by the British Royal Arsenal in the 1960s to resist the powerful t-54/55 armored group of the Soviet Red Army and its d-10t type 100mm tank gun. A new type of rifled gun developed from the gun.

This kind of tank has high chamber pressure, good precision, and its muzzle velocity and power are much higher than those of the active tank guns in various countries at the time. NATO countries have introduced patented production.

Even if it is a new tank, such as the American m1, the early production model is still equipped with a 105mm tank gun.

However, the true armor-piercing ability of this tank gun depends on its ammunition. The original m735 tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile can penetrate 150/60 degree homogeneous steel or NATO three-layer heavy target at a distance of 2000 meters. This armor-piercing ability just penetrates these early models of t64/72/64a/72a.

After that, the United States developed a new depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile m833, which is conservatively estimated to be able to penetrate 60 degrees of 420mm armor at a distance of 2000m is equivalent to 210mm/60 degrees. And the real performance is kept secret until later generations.

Of course, the United States only uses this kind of shells for its own use and does not export it.

And now, even if the German army on the opposite side really uses the latest depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles from the United States, it is impossible to destroy their own tanks. After all, the equipment on their own tanks is the most advanced Chobham armor!

Chobham armor, developed by the Vehicle Engineering Bureau under the Ministry of Defense in Chobham Town in 1976, is also the pride of British armored troops!

It consists of several layers of ceramic blocks sandwiched between steel armor plates. The outer armor plate is made of high-strength steel. The expansion of the ceramic layer is consistent to avoid cracking of the ceramic layer lining.

Ceramic is a material with high hardness and low toughness. When armor-piercing ammunition passes through this material, it will consume a lot of energy, thus hindering the passage of armor-piercing bullets.

Historically, the "Chief" tank equipped with Chobham armor in the early days has increased its protection against armor-piercing bullets from more than 300 mm to more than 550 mm, and its defense against armor-piercing bullets has increased to about 450 mm. The Chobham armor on the later production "Challenger i" tank has undergone some improvements to further enhance its protection. For example, the frontal protection capability of the "Challenger i" that participated in the Gulf War in later generations has been increased to the ability to resist 750mm armor-piercing projectiles!

The current challenger tank can completely block the attack of the 105mm tank gun from the front, and at the same time, the 120mm tank gun of the challenger tank can penetrate the opponent more easily!
