The 1939 KV-1 heavy tank, with armor up to 75 mm thick at the front of the hull, and the elimination of the multi-turret design, eliminated obvious weaknesses and increased the strength of the armor at the front of the hull. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In terms of the fire system, an L-11 76 mm tank gun (L-11 means 11 times the diameter) is used, which is inferior to the artillery used in Andrei's squad in terms of power, especially in armor-piercing ability, due to the small body. In addition, the KV-1 was equipped with three machine guns on the hull, two of which were in the usual position of the hull machine guns, but the remaining machine gun was located at the rear of the turret interior, a rare design that allowed the tank to face enemies from multiple directions simultaneously under enemy infantry siege. Tests have shown that this design is quite useful, although it reduces the overall strength of the turret armor.

Finally, in terms of mobility, the KV-1 heavy tank uses a V2K water-cooled 12-cylinder diesel engine, which can give it relatively strong power, so that it can still maintain a certain degree of mobility when it seems to be bulky, and the theoretical top speed on the road is 35km/h. In practice, its ability to climb over obstacles and trenches is pretty good.

If you look at it this way, the KV-1 heavy tank has completely defeated the immature heavy tanks before the Soviet army. But this is not the most serious part of the comparison, if there is a comparison, the comparison with their enemies is also quite valuable.

Compare it to the German No. 4A medium tank against Natalia, the 24x diameter KWK37 75mm gun is not even better than the L-11 in terms of performance (this is mainly due to the KWK37's slower gun ejection speed, which makes it less armor-piercing), and the two tanks are completely incomparable in armor performance. The best illustration is that Natalia, who is now advancing fearlessly, even though the distance between the two sides is less than 500 meters, the main guns of the German tanks still pose no threat to the KV-1 tanks, not to mention those 37mm anti-tank guns.

What Natalia would not have known was that after this battle, the KV-1 heavy tanks, which were still limited in number, had already cast a psychological shadow on the enemy, and the weak weapons of the KV-1 on the other side were given various ironic names - the PAK37 anti-tank gun was called a 'stepping stone', and the KWK37 was a little better than him, called a 'wooden stake'.

(PS: The German army that attacked Andrei and their side was not the first-class unit in the German army, so in terms of equipment level, it was more than one level worse than the Trod they used the No. 4G type at this time, but they were also equipped with the early No. 4 tank, but it turned out that this early No. 4 was really not very practical in terms of practicality.) ）

At this time, Natalia was still intoxicated with the pleasure brought to her by the KV-1's powerful armor, but this could not be said that Natalia was unproductive, but the incomparable feeling that any main gun (at least in front of him) could do nothing about it, made her feel once again what was a real crushing power gap.

In the face of this tank, the German infantry were completely stunned, they watched one shell after another hit the 'monster', but it was ineffective, and the sense of oppression brought by it was getting closer and closer. I don't know when, the infantry suddenly found that there was a lot less artillery fire behind them, and when they turned their heads to look at it suspiciously, they found that many of the artillery had already run away, leaving behind those useless artillery, leaving behind their infantry comrades, and running away first.

Originally, after seeing that 'monster', the insoldiers' hearts have been trembling, and now they see that the artillerymen have run away, how can they still stay here to die? Immediately turned and fled. Although the Soviet army saw the fleeing Germans, their movements were slightly slower than others, and the distance between the two was still hundreds of meters, so it was still a little difficult to catch up, so they had to let them all go, and this battle ended early before the infantry on both sides made contact.

Although the number of enemies destroyed in this battle was quite small, Natalia and the others directly took a temporary position of the German army with almost zero losses. This was the result of the monster defense of the KV-1 tank. Although Natalia's military career has been several years, such battles are rare, and even if there are, most of them are only in the fight against the troops of small countries whose equipment level is really poor.

As soon as the battle ended, Natalia received a communication from a not-so-unfamiliar voice saying that her tank had been repaired. At this time, Natalia realized that this powerful tank did not belong to her, but she borrowed it, and now she has to return it.

For such a powerful piece of equipment, there will definitely be a feeling of reluctance, but there are not many people like Natalia who think of some crooked ideas - she coaxed the other side that the distance between the two sides is far, and if you exchange tanks, it will delay a lot of things, and it will not be too late to change when the two sides are closer because of the mission. On the other side was a very happy commander who lent the tank to Natalia, so when he heard this, he agreed to Natalia's request without much thought. Although Natalia was happy that the other party agreed to her request, she also felt a little guilty because of it, but this guilt probably couldn't last even half a minute......

After that, Natalia conveyed to Anton that she wanted to take the tank by supporting Anton. Of course, Natalia could have directly contacted Andre to explain the matter at that time, but the pair of masters and apprentices would quarrel at every turn, Natalia knew that she was probably not able to surpass Andre in this matter, so she made a direct detour, and by the time Andrei knew about it, Natalia had most likely firmly grasped the tank in her hand, and at that time, even if Andrei did not agree to do this, it was probably not possible......
