readx; Among the main tank guns in service in various countries today, when firing the same type of ammunition, the armor-piercing ability is not weak, and it can effectively penetrate the frontal armor of the main tanks in service in various countries at a distance of about 1,000 meters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 For example, the 88L56 equipped on the German Tiger Tank and the 88L71 equipped on the King Tiger Tank are both powerful, and when the 88L56 uses ordinary armor-piercing shells, the armor-piercing ability is comparable to the power of the 105L4 equipped on the T15 of the Chinese Army when using ordinary armor-piercing bullets, and the 88L71 is much stronger than the 105L40 of the Chinese Army, which is enough to compare with the 105L50 tank gun equipped with the T18 tank of the Chinese Army.

The 90L53 main gun equipped with the American M26 tank is also powerful, stronger than the 105L40 of the T15 tank, but it is still slightly inferior to the 105L50 on the T18 tank.

However, in World War II, in addition to the tank gun itself, the power of the main tank gun of various countries is affected by the very big relationship with ammunition, the same tank gun, in the hands of Germany and Soviet Russia, and the power that can be exerted in the hands of China and the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union is completely different, and the reason why the tank of the Chinese Army is known as the strongest firepower, most of the factors are in the 1943 tungsten alloy APDS armor-piercing projectile.

With the increase in the power of the main tank guns of various countries, coupled with the progress of the fire control system, the countries generally compare the armor-piercing ability beyond the kilometer, and the armor protection can generally play a relatively large role outside the kilometer, as for the T18 or M26 or the Tiger King Tiger within the kilometer, in the face of the latest cutting-edge tank main guns of various countries when using APCR or APDS armor-piercing shells to attack, whether the armor can prevent the attack depends on the character.

The frontal armor of the T18 tank is 100 mm of inclined armor, and the thickness of the armor is actually less than that of the M26's 120 mm head, and at a distance of 1,200 meters, the APCR armor-piercing shells fired in the face of the M3 main gun of the M26 tank can only be carried down purely by character.

Bao Erqing obviously felt that his tank suddenly broke out with a violent vibration, which was the vibration when it was hit, but Bao Erqing's luck seemed to be running out, when the two M26 tanks successively fired the only few APCR tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, one of them directly hit the junction of the first armor and the turret of the No. 137 tank, after the shell penetrated the armor, it set off a steel torrent inside, Bao Erqing only felt a sharp pain in his left hand, and he didn't have time to complain about anything, he hurriedly said loudly:" Abandon the car! ”

The shell had already entered the turret, and no one knew if it would cause the ammunition to explode after a few more seconds, and Bao Erqing and several other crew members hurriedly opened the hatch, and they didn't care that there was still a rain of bullets outside the tank, so they could only climb out of the tank first.

But there were only two people who crawled out in the end, one was Bao Erqing, at this time his left hand was full of blood and hung down, I saw Bao Erqing running backwards, and the other hand also took out a needle of morphine with a surname, and after biting off the cover in front of him with his teeth, he directly pierced the morphine on his injured left hand.

The other one ran out of the ammunition hand black big man, when he escaped from the tank, he also brought a Type 44 submachine gun, this Type 44 submachine gun is actually not a submachine gun in the traditional sense, but a 1944 automatic rifle without a butt short barrel version, in the Army's tactical positioning is to replace the 1939 type submachine gun, generally equipped with armored soldiers and other crews, the gun body is shorter, suitable for all kinds of armored vehicle crews who stay in a small space for a long time to carry self-defense.

Before World War II, the Army was massively equipped with 1937-style semi-automatic rifles in order to strengthen infantry firepower, and in the middle of World War II, in order to further strengthen infantry firepower, the 1944-style automatic rifle was developed and equipped on a large scale, and it was also equipped with 1943-style general-purpose machine guns. When the 1944 automatic rifle and the 1943 general-purpose machine gun were combined, the previous 1937 semi-automatic rifle, 1936 series submachine gun, and 1921 series light machine gun in the infantry unit were withdrawn from the front-line troops on a large scale. However, at the same time, in the armored units and artillery units, there are still a large number of old 1936 series submachine guns in service, in order to replace the 1936 series of submachine guns in the armored corps and other arms, further simplify logistics, and realize the requirements of the main light weapons of the whole army to use 6.8 * 50 rifle cartridges, the army based on the 1944 automatic rifle, improved the design of a 1944 automatic rifle version without a butt and a short barrel, and named it ' The 1944 submachine gun is referred to as the Type 44 submachine gun, and the Type 44 rifle and the Type 43 machine gun form a series of guns. Although the range and accuracy of the Type 44 submachine gun cannot be compared with the original 1944 automatic rifle, it is much stronger than the old 1936 series submachine gun, and most importantly, it no longer uses 11 mm pistol cartridges, but the Chinese Army's standard 6.8 * 50 rifle cartridges, which plays a very large role in the simplification of logistics.

Private 1st Class Black Big was holding a Type 44 submachine gun in one hand, and while jumping off the No. 137 T18 tank that was unable to move and was still emitting black smoke, he shouted: "Damn, it's going to be over now!" ”

Hei Da looked at him as tall and big, but there was an obvious panicked look on his face, even Bao Erqing's face was not very good-looking at this time, they couldn't calm down in the face of the threat of death, they were just ordinary soldiers, not those Predators who regarded death as nothing.

There were four crew members in the T18 tank, and now only two have escaped, and it is obvious that the driver and gunner have been killed, and only Bao Erqing, the commander, and Hei Da, the loader, have escaped.

Looking back at the No. 137 tank, it was already emitting black smoke, and it was obvious that the interior had begun to catch fire, and because the location of the bullet was close to the ammunition rack, it was very likely that the ammunition would detonate soon after.

When Bao Erqing and the big black man jumped off the tank in a panic and fled towards the north, a commander of the M26 tank thousands of kilometers away looked at the wreckage of the T18 tank and showed a satisfied look: "Don't they all say that the Chinese's T18 tank is very strong, I don't think it's very good, it's not as powerful as the German Tiger tank!" ”

The gunner next to him muttered, "We fought one of six, and two of them were killed!" ”

At first, four M4 tanks and Bao Erqing's No. 137 T18 tank suddenly encountered, and in the first few seconds after the encounter, No. 137 tank took out one M4 tank, and then a minute later, No. 137 tank took out a second M4 tank at a distance of about a kilometer. In the process, Bao Erqing's No. 137 tank track was damaged, and at the same time, the three-inch tank gun on the M4 tank was hit several times but did not penetrate it.

It wasn't until two minutes later, when two M26 tanks arrived, that the only tungsten alloy APCR armor-piercing shells were fired at the immobile No. 137 vehicle, which completely destroyed the No. 137 T18 tank.

Although the Chinese Army's T18 tanks are strong and excellent in all aspects, they are definitely not invincible in the same battle as there will be active losses, last year when the T18 was first put into service and put into the battlefield, it also lost dozens of vehicles, and in the first half of this year, when it was put into operation in Europe and the Axis countries, it also lost more than 100 vehicles. In fact, among the troops sent by China to Europe, although the casualties were not large, the losses of various types of armored vehicles were relatively large, with more than 100 T18 tanks, more T15 tanks, more than 200 units, and dozens of T16 light tanks. In addition, there are 1943 assault guns, 1942 infantry fighting vehicles, various types of trucks, wheeled armored vehicles, artillery, etc., all of which have been more or less lost.

In terms of heavy weapons losses, the losses of the Chinese army have always been relatively large, one of the very important reasons is that the degree of mechanization in the troops sent by China to Europe to participate in the war is too high, and the proportion of equipment of various armored vehicles is very high, and the more equipment there is, the more losses will naturally be more, and the commanders of the army generally pay more attention to the casualties of personnel, usually the commander would rather lose a tank than let a large number of infantry fall into danger, so the charge is generally all kinds of armored vehicles, such as tanks, Infantry fighting vehicles and the like, and infantry is very rarely directly charged, most of the time staying behind to cover the tank battle.

It is precisely because the Chinese Army's operations in Europe are dominated by tanks and various types of armored vehicles, and the infantry is only an auxiliary force, which has led to the loss of various types of armored vehicles by China's Ninth Army and Tenth Army in Europe, which is enough to arm an armored division!

The battle between the No. 137 tank and many US tanks lasted only more than three minutes at most, and in this small battlefield, three minutes was enough to decide the outcome of a small-scale battle.

Bao Erqing panted and strode away, and the American tanks behind him were too far away, and Bao Erqing and the big black man did not run back in a straight line, but with the help of some obstacles in the terrain, so as not to be killed by direct fire from the vehicle-mounted machine guns. Long-distance tanks have this advantage, although the tank is damaged, but if the personnel can escape, then there is a great chance to escape from the battlefield, after all, this two thousand meters away, the personnel are not as big as the tank, it is not so easy to hit.

Bao Erqing ran quickly for several minutes before leaning against the back of a low mound, which was hundreds of meters running down at full speed, but he was exhausted, panting, his throat wanted to smoke, touched his waist, but he didn't touch the jug, and at this time, the big black man next to him also took out the jug he was carrying, took a sip and handed it to Bao Erqing: "Brother Bao, give!" ”

Bao Erqing was not polite, he took it directly, screwed the lid on after a big sip and gave it back to the big black one, and then picked up the 1911-style pistol, carefully checked it to see if there was any fault, although this pistol is very useful on the battlefield, but it can also give people some comfort, no matter how bad it is, there is a tool for suicide in the end.

The role of pistols on the battlefield has never been great, and it is better when China fights with the people, because they attach great importance to white-knuckle warfare, and although the Chinese Army also has training in white-knuckle warfare, after all, the army pursues superior firepower, and the army's 1937-style semi-automatic rifle or 1944-style automatic rifle is not very suitable for bayonets, so when fighting in white-knuckle warfare, the level of the Chinese Army's bayonet fighting is really average, so when fighting with him, when fighting at close range, Generally, a circle of grenades is thrown first, and then strafed with a submachine gun, and when the distance is close, the submachine gun bullets are also used up to change pistols, as for playing with bayonets, that is really not the strong point of the Chinese Army.

But it can only play a little role when fighting with the pistol, when the Chinese Army fights with the German army, the American army and the Soviet army, there is basically very little white-knuckle fighting, everyone's firepower is not weak, the bullets are splashed out in pieces, who plays with you bayonets!

Therefore, in modern warfare, the role of the pistol is only to comfort and commit suicide, and in the Chinese Army, suicide with a pistol is a glorious tradition, because the Chinese Army is the same as this army, belongs to the East Asian army, surrender is absolutely not allowed, and if captured, there may be nothing for the soldiers, but it is also unacceptable for the officer, once captured, it represents humiliation, and will have a great negative impact on the family, so in most cases, When the battle situation is unfavorable and you can't break through, the officers will choose to commit suicide, and if you commit suicide, it will bring glory to the family, but if you are captured or surrendered, it will definitely be a disaster for the family.

And even if you personally want to surrender regardless of your family, but don't forget that there are also political commissars of the National Socialist Party, these political commissars of the National Socialist Party, you may not be aware of their existence in normal times, they don't care about how the officers command the troops to fight, but if the officers want to disobey the orders of their superiors or surrender or something like that, then they will show their fangs, and they can shoot you directly on the spot and take over the command of the troops.

These political commissars, all of them are brainwashed madmen, and even during the Sino-Russian War in 1941, an army infantry company was surrounded by the Russian army, and there was no hope of breaking through the siege after running out of ammunition and food.

Perhaps one data can illustrate this situation, that is, since the era of the Nationalist Army, the Chinese Army has been an army for more than 30 years, and there have been five or six battalion-level units that have been annihilated by the formation, and even more at the company level, but there has never been a unit above the platoon level that has surrendered in formation, and there has never been an officer at or above the colonel level who has been captured!
