"Our 59 tanks, with 100-mm rifled guns, are more than enough for fortifications, against enemy tanks on mountain battlefields. It's also good at protecting its members, but..."

"I don't think it's suitable, but it can only be a general in the." When Qin Zhenhua said this, he shook his head helplessly.

At present, the main threat to the country is still the Soviet Union in the north, so the country's tanks are also aimed at the Soviet Union in the north, such as the technology of imported L7 tank guns, which has finally been completed, is to penetrate the tanks of the Soviets.

With this kind of tank gun, a large number of existing tanks can still be engaged with the Soviets in the field, not to mention, as far as the steppe is concerned, it is one of the most likely battlefields, here are flat grasslands everywhere, very suitable for the engagement of large tank forces.

However, mountain is different.

"Our tanks, with engines of only 500 horsepower, are enough on the plains, but when we get to the mountains, the need for power is even greater. If the 730 horsepower diesel engine of the Coal Province Diesel Engine Plant can be successfully developed and installed on our existing tanks, then the power will be enough. ”

Now, the only one that can be taken out in China is just such one, but after many years of tinkering, there is still no success in tinkering!

"Yes, however, that engine is for the second-generation tank, even if it is successfully developed, the size can't fit in, the diesel engine can't get in, and the transmission system can't get in." Commander Huang said.

From the 59 tank to the 69 tank, just a slight increase in the power of the engine, the problems are numerous, not only the engine, but also the transmission.

Therefore, these are not easy to overcome, and on the whole, the country's industrial base is too weak.

"It seems that we can only use a new engine to withstand it for a while." Qin Zhenhua said.

The engine of the tank, only a few hundred hours of motorization, after equipping the troops, will reach the end of life in a few years, and then overhaul, and in use, with continuous wear and tear, the power is getting weaker and weaker, so if you want to fight a mountain war, then you should prepare in advance, and replace the tank of the combat unit with a new engine, so that you can also use the best state to meet the battle.

Suddenly, Qin Zhenhua understood, Commander Huang just asked himself, in fact, he was saying that a branch of a machine factory, that is, a branch of the diesel engine factory, will receive an important task: to ensure that the best quality is used to produce reliable tank diesel engines, and to reequip his troops preparing for battle.

This mission is quite important, and that is to go to the battlefield!

As for what battlefield, Qin Zhenhua could vaguely guess it, but this kind of thing can't be said now.

"Commander Huang, our first branch is no longer what it used to be, we have a tough style, dare to fight, ensure quality and quantity, we can make a military order." Qin Zhenhua said: "Moreover, some of these parts can be produced and processed with our latest CNC machine tools, which will improve accuracy and increase life." ”

Commander Huang nodded: "Well, this is the best, you have to come on!" ”

Why did Commander Huang come here in person? Of course, for this matter, the troops are clear, when Ma Baoshan was in a branch factory, the troops didn't even dare to use the diesel engine of a branch factory, and now, the troops are giving priority to them, among which Qin Zhenhua's contribution is self-evident, so he must try his best to protect Qin Zhenhua, even if he ignores it, he must protect it, not to mention that Qin Zhenhua originally belonged to the righteous side, and it was Ma Baoshan and others who were demons, so they would not let him go, and they must be dealt with strictly!

"Well, what about the 62 tank?" Commander Huang continued to say to Qin Zhenhua.

The 59 tank, the T-54 from the Soviet Union, the overall performance of this tank is balanced, although it has derailed from the current world advanced level, but there is no problem in dealing with that potential target.

62 tanks are different.

The 59 tank was mainly used in the north for decisive battles in the plains, while the 62 tank, a simplified version of the 59 tank, was reduced to 20 tons, and the 85 mm gun was also used for the artillery, which was called a light tank.

As for the use, it is in the south, where the water network is everywhere, it will be difficult for medium tanks to move an inch, and only this kind of light tank will be easier to pass.

It's just that while reducing its own weight, this light tank naturally greatly reduces its armor protection, and its protective power is only about 30 percent of that of 59 tanks.

Because of its light weight, it is definitely easier to move in the mountains, but once you face an enemy attack, the consequences are not optimistic.

Not to mention anything else, the kind of 40 fires can easily penetrate its main armor, and the protection of this tank is just to prevent machine gun fire.

"The 62 tank is relatively light, and the power is not a problem, but the protection is not good." Qin Zhenhua said: "This is a fish and a bear's paw that cannot be both. ”

In the final analysis, it has been delayed over the years, and the military industrial enterprises have not had any R&D innovation, resulting in the fact that when the troops need it, they find that there are no convenient weapons at all.

When Qin Zhenhua thought of this, a sense of historical responsibility and mission couldn't help but arise spontaneously.

"We must strive to complete the research and development of second-generation tanks as soon as possible, so that the troops can use qualified tanks." Qin Zhenhua said.

"Yes, the troops are also eagerly waiting." Commander Huang said: "It's a pity, if only a capable person like you had more in a machine factory, and if there was a waste like Ma Baoshan, it would be nice to have less." ”

When Commander Huang spoke, there was nothing to taboo.

Anyway, after this incident, a waste like Ma Baoshan will definitely leave the leadership position, these people, after being a leader for a long time, their eyes have been blinded, and their brains have lost their original ideals.

Commander Huang soon separated from Qin Zhenhua and went to the second machine factory to investigate, and Qin Zhenhua returned to the first branch factory, at this time, his heart was a piece of fire, this is a test for the army, but also a test for the military factory, a branch factory, must not let the troops down, now it is necessary to arrange it in advance, and when the formal order comes down, it will immediately return to the peak state of the first branch!

With such a mood, he returned to the first branch factory, and when he was at the gate of the factory, Qin Zhenhua found that there were many people gathered there, and when he saw the faces of those people clearly, he couldn't help frowning: "What are you all doing here?" Is it time to leave work? Hurry up and get me back to work! ”
