The tanks that the Imperial Army was equipped with in this world war were mainly 'Leopard 2' tanks, and the number of such tanks in the Imperial Army exceeded 8,000. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info followed by the 'Tiger' tank, which is more powerful than the 'Leopard 2' tank. It's just that the number of 'Tiger' tanks is only about 2,000. This is also the reason why the tank factories of the Imperial Army have stopped producing Leopard 2 tanks. It is foreseeable that the Imperial Army will be equipped with more and more 'Tiger' tanks, and will gradually surpass the 'Leopard 2' tanks and become the main tank of the Imperial Army's armored forces.

The 'King Tiger' tank that replaced the 'Tiger' tank and became the high-end tank of the Imperial Army was the 'King Tiger' tank. Although the 'King Tiger' tank is more like a strengthened version of the 'Tiger' tank, the armor, firepower and power have been strengthened, which has greatly improved the overall performance of the tank. However, in the case of the 'Tiger' tank, which is already invincible, the 'King Tiger' tank is undoubtedly prepared for the future enemy.

The armored forces of the Imperial Army are undoubtedly invincible in the world at this stage. The only thing that can match the armored forces of the Imperial Army is undoubtedly the armored forces of the German Army. The performance of the German Army's 'Leopard' and 'Tiger' tanks is comparable to that of the Imperial Army's 'Leopard 2' and 'Tiger' tanks. The reason why the Imperial Army was named the 'Leopard 2' tank was because the No. 3 tank that the Imperial Army was equipped with before was also named the 'Leopard' tank, so it was named the 'Leopard 2' tank in order to distinguish it from it.

Although the Reich now seems to be in the same camp as Germany, in fact they have long been at odds with each other. After those enemies have been defeated, it will be very obvious that a conflict or even war will break out between China and Germany. Therefore, in order to deal with the German armored forces, it was only natural for the Imperial Army to develop a newer version of the 'King Tiger' tank. Of course, the Germans were also developing a powerful tank, also named the 'King Tiger' tank. Who is more powerful of the two 'King Tiger' tanks may not be able to distinguish until the battlefield tests in the future.

In addition to the King Tiger tank, the Imperial Army was also developing newer tanks. It's just that there is a clear difference between this tank and traditional tanks such as the 'King Tiger' tank. This tank was named the 'Siberian Tiger' main battle tank, and was no longer distinguished by medium tanks and heavy tanks like the previous 'Leopard 2', 'Tiger' and 'King Tiger' tanks. Rather, call it a main battle tank.

The armor of the 'Siberian Tigers' main battle tank is no longer a simple homogeneous armor, but a composite armor composed of a variety of materials. Of course, this is only the primary composite armor, which is simply composed of two layers of steel with other materials sandwiched between them. In this way, it will not only reduce the weight of the Siberian Tiger main battle tank, but also provide its maneuverability. As for tank guns, 105 mm rifled guns continued to be used. It's just that the shells fired this time will be tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shells. Compared with traditional armor-piercing shells, tail stabilized armor-piercing shells will have greater power, much higher penetration, and can penetrate thicker armor. This tank will become the main battle weapon of the Imperial Army to dominate the world after the war. Of course, although the war is not over now, the Imperial Army has already begun to prepare for the post-war.

As for the 'Siberian Tigers' main battle tank, it will be equipped with real composite armor, similar to the 'Chobham' armor developed by the British in later generations or the 'depleted uranium armor' of the Americans. The tank's main gun will also turn into a 120 mm smoothbore gun. This tank will become the main force of the Imperial Army in the future. Of course, it will take a long time for this class of tanks to come out. Emperor Wu Haoxuan may not be able to live to see this tank come out.

Having said all this, it is undoubtedly to prove that the Imperial Army has long been at the forefront of the world in the study of tanks. The so-called fast step, fast step, the Imperial Army has been ahead of the world since the beginning of the 'Leopard 2' tank. If other countries want to catch up, that's unlikely. With Wu Haoxuan, the biggest cheat, the gap between the tank performance of the Imperial Army and other countries will only get bigger and bigger, which will also more effectively guarantee the hegemony of the Empire in the post-war world.

Back on the battlefield, the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army was still slaughtering the 8th Armored Division of the US Army. Although, the number of tanks in the US army was almost twice that of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army. However, at this moment, the situation on the battlefield is showing a one-sided situation. The 8th Armored Division of the US Army, which was completely suppressed. And, their losses began to grow larger and greater. The gap between the number of tanks on both sides is also beginning to get smaller and smaller.

Even at a disadvantage, the U.S. M3 light tank and M3LEE medium tank were still charging, and they wanted to close the distance so that their tank guns could penetrate the armor of the Imperial Army's Leopard 2 tank or Tiger tank. That way, they won't be in a state of being beaten passively anymore. Even if there are still many opponents of the Imperial Army's tanks, at least they can fight back.

"Boom!" An M3 light tank, which was rapidly charging towards the armored units of the Imperial Army, was hit by a 'Leopard 2' tank. The 75mm tank gun easily pierced through its armor and smashed it into a pile of burning scrap metal.

The tanks of the U.S. army are constantly charging. However, they are also constantly being destroyed, just like moths to fire, knowing that they are dead, but they still keep pounced. As a result, the battlefield was soon covered with the wreckage of American tanks.

Although, the 8th Panzer Division of the US Army had almost twice as many tanks as the 1st Panzer Brigade of the Imperial Army. However, if it were spread evenly over each tank of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army, they would only need to destroy two American tanks to completely destroy the 8th Armored Division of the American Army. What's more, on the battlefield, some ace car crews will perform very well, and they can often have more opportunities for more US tanks more easily. As a result, the tanks of the 8th Armored Division of the US Army were actually not allocated at all, and they were almost destroyed soon.

After about half an hour of fighting, the U.S. 8th Panzer Division had managed to close the distance to within 500 meters. The 75mm tank gun of the U.S. M3LEE medium tank was already able to threaten the Imperial Army's Leopard 2 tank. It's just that at this time, the 8th Armored Division of the US Army has lost more than half of its tanks, and it is almost on the verge of collapse.

"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out, and an American M3LEE medium tank was destroyed by a Leopard 2 tank of the Imperial Army.

"Oh God! Karl they're finished, their tank exploded, and even God can't save them. Not far from this tank, the tankmen in another American tank exclaimed.

"Hell, who the hell are we fighting against? They're just a bunch of devils! The commander said.

When watching one tank after another being destroyed, even the most determined person cannot hold on.

"Almost reversing, a Chinese tank is aiming at us." The commander suddenly shouted like crazy.

The driver immediately reversed and tried to escape. It's just that it's too late. The Leopard 2 tank had already fired. A 75-mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the frontal armor of this tank. The shell easily tore through the armor and hit the tank's fuel tank. The gasoline inside the tank exploded and burned, and the entire tank became a blazing fireball.

The hatch of the tank opened, and the tankmen got out of it. It's just that they're already on fire. The tankmen let out heart-rending screams as they rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies. But how can the flames formed by the combustion of gasoline be so easily extinguished? Especially when there is no one to help, it is easier to extinguish. The final result of these tankmen can only be burned to charcoal.

"Damn, we're fighting the devil at all, and we can't win." An M3 light tank was frightened, and he swerved frantically, trying to flee the battlefield.

It's just that he was hit just after turning. The rear armor of the tank, which was even weaker, was easily destroyed.

More and more tank crews of the US army realized the strength of the armored forces of the Chinese army. They know that the enemy is too strong to be defeated. So, they began to flee one after another. Some tank crews are directly reversing, while others are turning and fleeing. After all, the speed of reversing is too slow, and once it is caught up by the tanks of the Chinese army, there is only a dead end. It's just that after turning, it is equivalent to pointing the chrysanthemum at the tanks of the Imperial Army, which is also easier to destroy.

"The Americans fled and began to pursue, and not a single one could be spared." The brigade commander of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army commanded by radio.

Suddenly, the tanks of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army immediately began to pursue at full speed.

In the course of the pursuit, once the enemy tank is aimed, stop and fire immediately, and then continue the pursuit. Because the current tank does not have a stabilizer between the marches, it is necessary to stop when firing.

The 8th Armored Division of the U.S. Army, facing the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army, was beaten and fled. A large number of tanks were destroyed, and the remaining tanks, like lost dogs, fled frantically. It's just that they still have to face the pursuit of the armored forces of the Imperial Army, and the final result is only one, that is, they are destroyed. (To be continued.) )
