readx; June 13 is undoubtedly the most important day in the history of the world, and its important surname is even more important than the day when Germany attacked Poland in 1939, if the war in 1939 and 1940 was limited to skirmishes in Europe and Asia, then in June 1941 Germany launched an attack on Soviet Russia, which was a declaration that the world war had officially entered the most important stage.

Strictly speaking, Soviet Russia did not just start participating in this world war, the Soviet-Finnish war in the months of late 1939 and early 1940, and the Sino-Soviet Olav conflict in 1940 can all be considered part of this world war, and these two wars have also completely exposed the quality of the Soviet Russian army is not as feared as his number.

Although the process of the Sino-Soviet Olav conflict has not yet been learned by outsiders, both China and the Soviet Union have advertised that they have won victory in the conflict, and the Chinese side is talking about how many Soviet troops have been annihilated and several important areas such as Olaf have been conquered, while the Soviet and Russian sides are preaching that the Soviet army has strong combat effectiveness, resisted the attack of the Chinese army's huge strength with weak troops, and smashed the strategic attempt of the Chinese army's rapid advance, forcing China to the negotiating table. It is impossible to talk about who will win and who will lose on both sides, because although China had the advantage in the first five or six hours of the conflict, the Chinese Fourth Panzer Army stopped attacking after achieving the intended combat objective, and the Soviet army also completed an emergency transfer at that time, and after a night of confusion, it was already mobilizing heavy troops to prepare for strategic defensive operations, and at that time, unless a full-scale war broke out between the two sides and the Chinese side invested more troops, it was actually impossible to break through the Soviet army's defense.

Regardless of the victory or defeat of the Olaf battle, but the Soviet army in this battle was exposed many flaws, so that China saw the many weaknesses of the Soviet army, in fact, the low combat effectiveness of the Soviet army has been fully reflected in the Soviet-Finnish war, although the Soviet army achieved a strategic victory in the Soviet-Finnish war, but the Soviet army at that time relied on far more than the number of troops out of the Soviet Union, not to mention the ordinary infantry, tanks, airplanes and other technical weapons investment is almost more than ten times that of Finland, In the Soviet-Finnish War, Soviet Russia has invested thousands of tanks of various kinds, and Finland had only more than 100 tanks at that time, and the number of tanks lost by Soviet Russia in the war was also very amazing, many armored units were almost annihilated in formation, and a small number of Finnish tank soldiers were even able to drive a tank to destroy more than 10 Soviet tanks.

It can be said that if it were not for the inferior combat effectiveness shown by Soviet Russia when attacking Finland, Hitler would not have dared to attack Soviet Russia, which has nearly 20,000 tanks and tens of thousands of aircraft, you must know that Germany has been at war for so long, but the number of tanks that the Germans now keep is still not much, and there are only a few thousand on the Eastern Front.

It was precisely because of the underground performance of the Soviet army in the Soviet-Finnish war and in the Sino-Soviet Olav that Stalin woke up and began to vigorously restore the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army, instead of continuing to play the political purge, and also began to develop and put into service new tanks.

The existing various types of T26, T28 and other tanks and BT5, BT7 series tanks have been proven to be far from China's several active main tanks in terms of quality, although the KV tank in the Soviet army is good, it is also proven to be effective against China's T6, T9 tanks, but in the face of China's early model T12 medium tank is also OK, but in the face of the later improved T12 tank equipped with a long-barreled 75 mm tank gun is a little weak, Not to mention the 11 mm tank guns on the T105 heavy tanks, as well as the Chinese T15 tanks.

Therefore, in 1940, Soviet Russia began to develop more advanced tanks under Stalin's instructions, including an improved version of the KV tank, equipped with an 85-mm tank gun, and even equipped with a 100-mm tank gun, but the KV tank chassis was also designed in the mid-thirties, with great flaws, and the original proud defense surname could not be stopped in the face of the new 75-mm tank gun of the Chinese Army T12. Not to mention the fact that the Chinese Army has already begun mass production of T105 medium tanks armed with 15-mm tank guns. Therefore, the Soviet and Russian sides are preparing to adopt a newly developed heavy tank chassis, that is, the 'Stalin series' (IS). Of course, although the surname data of heavy tanks looks very good, but limited by the cost and technical limitations of heavy tanks, it is impossible to equip too many heavy tanks whether it is Soviet Russia or China, although the famous T11 heavy tank in the Chinese Army is superior, but so far it is equipped with only a few hundred, far from being able to compare with those medium and light tanks with thousands of vehicles, China's T6, T9, The number of equipment of the T12 series of medium tanks is thousands, thousands, to fight against China's huge number of medium tanks, only a small number of KV and IS series can not be done, the Soviet army also needs a medium tank that can be mass-produced, cheap to build, at this time, according to the design experience of the BT7 fast tank, and with reference to a Chinese T9 tank captured from the Battle of Olaf, the Soviet Union finally put forward their plan for a new generation of medium tanks, The new tank still adopts the track mode of the BT7 fast tank, optimizes the maneuverability, and in defense, it almost copies the defensive design of the T9 tank, only to use large-angle inclined armor and an integrated cast turret, and even copies the caliber of the T9 tank in terms of weapons, only to use a 76.2 mm tank gun, and this new generation of Soviet and Russian medium tanks that have completed the design is the famous T34 tank in history.

The initial design goal of the T34 tank of the Soviet army was to counter the huge Chinese medium tank group, and the initial target was the T9 tank, and the T12 tank was the main target.

Among the three types of T6, T9 and T12 tanks currently in large-scale active service in China, the T6 tank is naturally an old obsolete goods, but the number of T6 tanks is thousands, and the Chinese Army naturally cannot be retired as a loser, so what can be used is still in use, and if it cannot be used, the parts will be dismantled and given to those T6 tanks in service as spare parts. The main force is the T9 and T12 series, and in fact, the T9 and T12 tanks are very similar, although the T12 is better than the T9 tank in terms of speed, protection and firepower, but there is no generation difference between the two, the T12 tank was originally an improved model of the T9 tank.

T9\12 series tanks as the absolute main tank of the Chinese Army, fighting these two tanks is naturally the top priority of Soviet Russia, in the early years when the design and manufacturing capacity of Soviet Russian tanks was still very ordinary, it could only be through the production of a large number of BT and T26 series of tanks to try to make up for the quality gap with quantity, and later tried to use KV heavy tanks to achieve an overwhelming advantage, but later it was proved that this was not feasible, BT and T26 and other tanks could not even fight against China's old T6 tanks, it is useless to have a large number, and although the KV tank is good, the cost of that cost made Stalin not much at all.

This is also the fundamental reason why Soviet Russia was preparing to develop a new generation of medium tanks in the late thirties, and after many years of research, the design was completed in 1940 and large-scale trials began, which are now considered small-scale production.

The military personnel of Soviet Russia are not weak, the designed T34 tank surname can be called excellent, the protective surname can not be weaker than China's T12 tank, and the mobile surname is not weaker than the T12 tank, although in terms of firepower, their 76 mm tank gun is slightly inferior to China's 75 mm tank gun, but on the whole, the surname of this T34 tank can undoubtedly be excellent, in the world, in addition to China's T12 medium tank can be compared, The medium tanks in service in other countries were basically incapable of resisting, and neither was the No. 4 tank, which the Germans were so proud of.

However, although the T34 tank has completed the design and began to enter the production stage, but like the German No. 4 tank, the number is now very small, at least before June 13, 1941, the Soviet Russian T34 tank is still in the stage of small production and large-scale testing, and China has been in use for many years and has been discontinued T12 series tanks can not be compared.

Although the T34 tank of Soviet Russia has been able to compare with the T12 tank and the T9 tank of China, there is one thing to mention here that the T9 tank was designed in China in the late twenties and began to be in large-scale service during the war in the mid-1930s, and it has been in large-scale service for 11 years since today, and the T12 tank has also been in small-scale service since 1935, and it has been six years since then. The time difference is very far.

When the Russians developed the T34 tank and began to serve on a small scale, China's T12 tanks have been discontinued, and the current Chinese Army is procuring and equipping a new generation of medium tanks T15, which is China's most advanced main battle tank, surnamed Neng not only surpasses the T12 medium tank, but even surpasses the T11 heavy tank, when the Army developed the T15, the tanks of various countries are actually still in the era of fighting against the Chinese T6 tank, the Germans' No. 4 tank, The T34 in Soviet Russia doesn't even have a research and development plan. The R&D plan of the T15 tank is very early, the earliest is the comprehensive tank plan proposed by the Army Armament Department in 1935, proposing to design a new generation of main battle tanks that can be used both T12 medium and T11 heavy tanks for both combat missions and surnames, the original design goal made the T15 tank put the caliber of the main gun on the 105 mm caliber at the beginning, in all fairness, for China in the thirties, it is still very difficult to produce the T15 tank, Among them, the most critical is not the tank design, there are a lot of excellent tank designers in China, and the most critical is the restriction of important components, simply put, tank guns, engines, and tank armor steel. And these are the key factors limiting the mass production of the T15.
