"Cut, it's not bad, but that's the last luck." Andrei said with some disdain. Although he was hit, he didn't panic at all, but it was inevitable. At this distance, not to mention the Czechoslovakia-made tanks, even their tanks can't penetrate their own armor, so there's no need to worry about it at all.

Speaking of their armor, it is still necessary to talk about it. The design concept of the T-34/57 medium tank is different from that of the tanks of early countries, but follows the design ideas of the A-20 medium tank produced by the Soviet Union. This kind of thinking was still very advanced in the era when all countries liked to make a fuss about the thickness of armor, but this was also because of two more helpless reasons - the lack of steel and the problem of bearing in the Soviet Union.

It may not be appropriate to say this, for how could a vast Soviet be short of steel, and it is true. But after all, it is not as economically developed as the countries of Western Europe, and the vast territory needs more troops to defend, so that most of the army needs more equipment, so the conditions do not allow them to develop exquisite weapons like Germany, which was limited in the number of troops at the beginning, and weapons that can equip troops in large quantities are their first choice.

There is another problem, and that is the load limit of the suspension system. In the early days, the Soviet Union, like Western European countries, also liked to thicken the armor on the tank, and even on some strange tanks such as the T-35, the Soviets even used all kinds of weapons to add various weapons, but later proved that this multi-weapon scheme was not successful, but the expensive cost was gradually deviating from the most important point of their manufacturing equipment. So, how to get more armor and firepower on top of the limited carrying capacity?

The Soviets, who had suffered from the increase in firepower, did not stumble on the armor again, and the designers cleverly used the inclined armor to solve this problem perfectly. It's just that they didn't know it at the time, and they were leading the design trend of later generations of tanks......

However, the design of the inclined armor is not without its drawbacks, and although it is a perfect work for the designer, it is not so happy for the tank crew - although the defense of the tank they ride in has been strengthened, they have relatively little room to move. That's right, compared with vertical armor, the inclined armor design greatly reduces the internal space of the tank, making it difficult for tank members to move freely in the tank, and it is completely normal to have stiff hands and feet in such a tank for a long time.

"Almost. Run! Andrei gave an order, and the two tanks immediately turned their hulls while retreating, and then drove away, but in order to prevent the big fish from running away, Andrei didn't increase their speed.

THE T-34/57 MEDIUM TANK CAN RUN AT A SPEED OF MORE THAN 40 KM/H ON ORDINARY GROUND, AND ITS POOR SHOCK ABSORPTION AND LACK OF INTERNAL SPACE SOMETIMES MAKE THE CREW MEMBERS A LITTLE MISERABLE WHEN RUNNING. However, although it was not much faster than the German IV tank in terms of speed, its cross-country performance was better than many tanks made in Britain, France and Germany. This advantage is evident on special surfaces other than roads. However, now Andrei and his route are relatively good, so they can also be loaded a little, or let the Czechoslovak tanks catch up on the rough ground. That's a bit fake.

"Are you going to take a detour? It's really a lot to think about......" While running, Andrei did not forget to keep looking back, and just when he felt that this operation was already secure, the enemy's troops of more than a dozen tanks were divided into three groups. It looks like they are going to surround them from three directions.

Although Andrei does not worry about his own safety, in this case, he will not be able to wipe out all the enemies. It's not a pity. However, now that the tactics have been formulated, there should be no changes in the things that have already been done, otherwise it is likely that the tactics will be changed rashly, and it is also one of his styles to eat a little.

Andrei picked up the microphone and said inside: "The whole team is ready to meet the enemy, target six light tanks, and there are enemies in other directions, strive to kill them in an instant, and prevent them from contacting each other." ”

Two minutes later......

Andrei and the others got into the woods where the ambush had already been set up, and the Czech tanks that followed them did not hesitate and also went headlong into the woods.

"Call me!" At the same time that Andrei shouted an order, the members of the 217 team, who had been waiting for a long time, opened fire in unison, and it was a hard blow to the Czech tank in the center of the encirclement.

Most of these tanks are light tanks of the 38T and 35T types, which are completely unable to stop the blows of Soviet tanks, and with their weak armor, it may be too cheap for them to penetrate alone, and some tanks have even been pierced by high-piercing warheads, revealing a terrifying hole.

This is not to say that the Czechoslovak tanks were not sturdy or anything, they were really good at facing the early Soviet tanks, but now the situation is completely different, standing in front of them is the T-34/57 equipped with the ZIS-4 57-mm anti-tank gun based on the ZIS-57 tank gun. Although at that time the caliber of 57mm was no longer a caliber that could be flaunted, the Soviets had already heard that the Germans had used the main gun of 75mm caliber, but they were still quite stubborn in studying this artillery, and the terrible thing about this artillery was of course not on his caliber, but on the double diameter!

This ZIS-4 tank gun has a double diameter of 73! This is a rather frightening number, even the PaK39 gun used by the extremely deep IV J. in the Trood squad is only 48 times the diameter. Although the multiplier will not increase the damage ability much, the armor-piercing ability will increase exponentially. Of course, this is also a specially developed equipment to deal with the heavy armored tanks produced by Western European countries that the Soviet military top brass feared, and they are more inclined to fight tanks than all-round tanks.
