Chapter 685: Where the Value Is
Anton immediately assigned tasks to the infantrymen, while Natalia's KV-1 tank needed to be replenished before going into battle because of the lack of ammunition, and it was during this time period that Andrei and Anton quickly finished what they were doing and gathered at the side of this tank, they were very interested - what kind of tank could make Natalia so fascinated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This cannon, it's really not very good." The two teams who were very interested in the advantages of this tank, Natalia was the first to name the most dissatisfied thing about this tank - firepower.
"But you said before that this is a heavy tank, but I look at this armor a little ......" didn't care about the shortcomings that Natalia said, Anton directly pointed the problem to the core part - armor. And there are several more obvious craters in the place of his fingers, although Anton's words are not finished, but his meaning is obvious, is the armor of this tank really reliable? Compared to the T-34, as a medium tank, the craters left when engaging the enemy are not very large, and they are not so noticeable at all.
Andrei, who was standing on the side, was more calm, just closed his eyes and said to Natalia: "I'll just ask a question, did these craters make them in your hands?" ”
"Hey, although it's good that the apprentice understands the master, sometimes I really hope you're a little confused!" Faced with Andrei's question, Natalia was also noncommittal.
After hearing this, Andrei couldn't help but laugh, then climbed into the tank and grabbed Anton directly with his hands, although the latter was a beat slower, but he also followed Andrei to the tank. Andre looked at Anton beside him, showed an extremely rare good face and said: "Seeing that you have been looking at it for so long a day, I don't know why it is really difficult, so I will tell you directly." Anton knew that Andre didn't mean to play tricks on himself this time, so he didn't reply, but lowered his head seriously and prepared to listen to Andre's explanation.
"First of all, let's talk about the basic knowledge of armor, whether it is the Su-85 tank destroyer you use or the T-34/57 tank that our 217 squad is equipped with in large numbers, their frontal armor has a large angle of inclination, which can effectively increase the armor equivalence and further increase the ricochet rate when the shell hits us. And because of this, the enemy shells left relatively more scratches on the frontal armor of our tank than the near-vertical armor used in this tank, and there were relatively few craters. Anton nodded silently, what Andre said was something he knew, but he didn't think about it just now, and at this time he was consolidating this knowledge.
"Also, you were still far away just now, and you didn't see these details clearly. Look at these scratches and pits, they are all relatively new. Andrei pointed to several inconspicuous craters, and Anton furrowed his eyebrows, admitting that he hadn't noticed the enemy just now. However, the fact is that these enemies are covered by the rain that has been falling all the time, and it is normal for people who are not very familiar with tanks to not notice these inconspicuous places.
"If you want me to say, Natalia." Andrei paused his explanation of Anton, turned to the side and said, "At this moment, you have eaten more than twenty shots head-on." ”
"II...... Twenty?! Hearing what Andrei said, Anton's eyes almost didn't fall out, he couldn't believe his ears, after all, his own chariot had not eaten a few real shells since he started it, and Natalia was hit by more than twenty shells at this moment, which was hard for him to imagine. But when he looked down at the craters and scratches, he had to admit that the figure Andre was talking about was not an exaggeration at all.
As for the two people who were squatting in the car and studying, Natalia said with an indifferent look: "I can't count the specifics, anyway, at that time, I was a tank that resisted the shells of a position." If you think about it now, I guess that's all there is, after all, they didn't fight long before they all ran away. ”
"A position?!" Anton didn't know how many times he had shown a surprised expression in such a gaffe today, and not to mention him, even Andrei, who was familiar with tank warfare, was also closing his eyes and showing a painful expression at this time, rubbing his temples with his hands constantly.
However, Natalia still didn't think it was big enough, and said to the two: "Most of the 37mm and short-barreled 75mm guns they use, even if they fight the T-34, it's a bit laborious, so it's normal that they can't penetrate this tank." But you two look at the largest and blackest crater under your feet, which was fired by a 150mm grenade, and it really scared me at the time! ”
“……”
“……”
As for Natalia's words, neither Andre nor Anton spoke again, but half-opened their mouths, their faces twitched, and they stared blankly at the 'madman' in front of them......
After Anton calmed down, he glanced at the tank under him again, sighed and said, "This is simply a ...... from the test site or shooting range"
And the ordinary Andrei shook his head and said: "You must know that even if some equipment is left in the test site, it will not be so badly damaged......
In this way, the two of them fully understood all aspects of the tank's performance in constant surprise, and also fully understood why Natalia wanted to swallow it alone. However, even if Andrei knew that the performance of this tank was very good, he felt very troubled by what Natalia had ordered him before, after all, that crew would definitely not be stupid enough not to know the performance of this tank, although the T-34/57 was far ahead of this KV-1 in armor-piercing performance, but the overall performance was completely inferior, this exchange was quite unfair, and Andrei, as an ordinary junior officer, could not get anything in his hand that could make up for this 'price difference'.
And when Andre told Natalia positively that the success rate of this 'transaction' was extremely small, Natalia went to Anton for help, but the latter only showed a wry smile, saying that he had nothing to do about this 'some' unreasonable thing, and after learning the attitude of the two, Natalia wanted to drive the tank away on the spot, but fortunately was stopped by everyone......
