The 18 'Tiger' heavy tanks and 216 'Leopard 2' medium tanks of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army rumbled towards the positions of the United States and Australia with the roar of engines. These tanks www.biquge.info are beautifully shaped, but they don't look weird like the tanks of the U.S. Army. More than two hundred tanks gathered together, and the roar of the engines alone was as if it were thundering.

"Order all vehicle groups to start tanks at once, the tanks of the Chinese are coming, we will meet them immediately!" Major General Fred, commander of the 8th Armored Division of the US Army, ordered. However, Rear Admiral Fred knew that his M3 light tank and M3LEE medium tank were probably no match for the advanced tanks of the Chinese Army. However, he still believes that their tanks, with a nearly twice the numerical superiority, may not be able to defeat the armored forces of the Chinese army. As long as he can win, even if it is a tie, then he can call a satisfactory answer.

The 390 tanks of the 8th Armored Division of the US Army began to mobilize one after another, and then rushed to the battlefield one after another. The 390 tanks of the 8th Armored Division of the US Army are 158 M3 light tanks and 232 M3LEE medium tanks.

The M3 light tank weighs 12.7 tons and is armed with one 37 mm tank gun and five 7.62 mm machine guns. The M3LEE medium tank weighs 27.22 tons and is armed with a 75mm gun, a 37mm gun, and four 7.62mm machine guns.

These two tanks of the US army seem to have good firepower, but in fact, if compared with the 'Leopard 2' tank and the 'Tiger' tank of the Imperial Army, they are simply rubbish. The 3-mm tank gun of the M3 light tank was too weak to penetrate the armor of the main tanks of the Imperial Army. The M3LEE tank's 75mm tank gun is quite powerful, but the tank gun mounted in front of the hull has a limited range of fire and can only attack targets in front. As for the 37-mm tank gun on the turret, although capable of firing in all directions. However, the power is still too weak.

Although the Imperial Army and the American Army had fought many battles in the Pacific, the large-scale tank battle between the two sides was undoubtedly the first time at sea. The number of tanks put into service by both sides reached more than six hundred. This may not be a big deal on the battlefield of Soviet Russia. After all, the Eastern European Plain is very suitable for tank assaults. However, in the Pacific, such a large-scale tank battle is very rare.

"Attention, when the American tanks are found, the crews pay attention to the attack from a distance as much as possible and destroy the American tanks. Their M3LEE medium tank's 75mm tank gun is capable of posing a certain threat to our 'Leopard 2' tank. "The commander's voice came from the headphones of each of the tank crew members. Thanks to the efforts of the Reich's Military Intelligence Bureau, the important data of the U.S. military's tanks have long been known to the commanders of the Reich's armored forces. Because of the intervention of Emperor Wu Haoxuan, the tanks equipped by the armored forces of the Imperial Army were more consistent with the mainstream tanks of later generations in appearance. And the tanks of the US army, because they took a lot of detours in the early stage of development, are rather strange. After World War II, the Americans made them superpowers by plundering Germany and the whole world. And before that, the United States was more than a *** silk. Uncle Sam, at best, can be called Sam Youth.

When the two sides were thousands of meters apart, the tanks of the Imperial Army opened fire. Relying on the superiority in sighting equipment, the tanks of the Imperial Army were able to aim at the enemy at long distances. And the powerful tank gun is enough to ensure that the armor of the American tank is torn at a long distance. Therefore, at a distance of a thousand meters, the armored units of the Imperial Army have already begun to get hits one after another.

"Boom!" The 88mm gun of a Tiger tank opened heavy fire, and an armor-piercing projectile whizzed towards an American M3LEE medium tank more than a thousand meters away. The armor-piercing shell accurately hit the frontal armor of the hull of this American tank. Although the M3LEE medium tank had frontal armor up to 51 mm thick, it was easily torn apart by armor-piercing shells.

Fragments formed by the broken armor scurried inside the tank, easily shooting the tank crew inside. After the armor-piercing shell penetrated the tank's fuel tank, the tank was ignited, and a raging fire broke out.

The engine used by the US tank is a gasoline engine. Gasoline is a fuel that can easily ignite and explode. Therefore, once the tank is penetrated, it is very easy to be ignited.

The tanks used by the Imperial Army were diesel engines. Diesel fuel is not easily ignited, so even after being broken down, fuel fires rarely occur, which protects the tank crew to the greatest extent. As long as they are not killed when the tank is penetrated, the tank crew may flee for their lives. Tanks are expensive, but tankmen are the most valuable asset.

"Boom!" A 'Leopard 2' tank hit an M3 light tank of the US army. The armor of the M3 light tank was only 44 mm, which could not withstand the shells of the 75 mm tank gun at all, and was easily penetrated.

“****！ How powerful are the tank guns of the Chinese, they can easily penetrate our tanks from a thousand meters away. Don't those damned arms dealers swear by the promise that the gap between our M3 light tanks and M3LEE medium tanks and the Chinese tanks is not big? Major General Fred, who was watching the battle from the rear, couldn't help but curse as he watched his tanks being smashed into fireballs one after another.

Because of the lack of detailed performance of the Imperial Army's tanks, American arms dealers considered themselves to be the world's mainstream tanks for their M3 light tanks and M3LEE medium tanks. However, the brutal reality of the battlefield told them how big the gap between the tanks they developed and the world's mainstream tanks was. It is precisely because of the gap in the performance of the tanks that the armored units of the US army are almost in a one-sided situation on the battlefield, after facing the armored forces of the Imperial Army, and they are completely the targets of slaughter.

"Dang!" A crisp sound came, and the No. 1014 'Tiger' tank, which was rushing to the front, shook violently. A 75mm tank gun fired from an M3LEE medium tank of the U.S. Army hit the front armor of the Tiger. However, the frontal armor of the 'Tiger' tank is as thick as 120 mm, which is definitely not something that the US 75 mm tank gun can penetrate. Unless it is to shorten the distance between the two sides to within two hundred meters. It's just that if the battle distance had really been shortened to 200 meters, the tanks of the US army would have been penetrated by the tanks of the Imperial Army.

"Dog's day, I almost got penetrated. At 1 o'clock, one thousand and one hundred meters from us, aim at that tank of the Americans, take him out. The commander of tank No. 1014 ordered.

After five seconds, the tank came to a slam halt, and the tank gun fired. An 88-mm armor-piercing projectile has already whistled out.

In just over a second, the armor-piercing shell hit the M3LEE medium tank of the American army. Piercing through the thickness of its frontal armor, it detonated the shells inside the tank, causing the entire tank to be blown to scrap metal.

"Bastard, try to close the distance between you and the Chinese as much as possible, our tank guns are too powerful to penetrate the armor of the Chinese's tanks at a positive distance." Major General Fred ordered.

Because of the gap in the performance of the tanks of the two sides, the tanks of the US army and the tanks of the Chinese army at this distance are undoubtedly very disadvantaged. If you want to get out of this passive situation, there is only one way, and that is to shorten the distance between the two sides.

The tanks of the 8th Panzer Division of the U.S. Army, after receiving orders from Major General Fred, immediately began to charge, and they rushed to the Imperial Army tanks, trying to close the distance to the distance that their tank guns could penetrate the Imperial Army tanks.

It's just that for the armored forces of the Imperial Army, this is undoubtedly a training to hit moving targets. Imperial Army tanks, at a distance, easily began to shoot American tanks.

"All tanks, slow down, take advantage of our range advantage and get rid of the tanks of the Americans." The commander of the armored forces of the Imperial Army also ordered.

As a result, the tanks of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army slowed down one after another, and even some tanks simply stopped and used tank guns to accurately shell the American tanks.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Continuous explosions sounded on the battlefield, and American tanks were destroyed one after another. Neither the M3 light tank nor the M3LEE medium tank could withstand the tank guns of the Imperial Army.

In the trenches, Major General Sun Fumin was watching this scene with a telescope, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw that his armored troops were slaughtering the American tanks almost unscathed.

"That's the technology gap! The armored units of the Imperial Army are completely abusing the tank units of the Americans! However, this kind of torture and killing is undoubtedly what the empire is happy to see. Major General Sun Fumin said with a smile.

"Yes, General. The gap in tanks between us and the Americans is huge. And this gap will continue to widen. The empire has completely stopped the survival of the Leopard 2 tank, and all the production capacity is used to produce the Tiger tank. Soon, the number of Tiger tanks in the armoured forces of the Imperial Army will increase. In addition, according to the latest news, the more powerful 'King Tiger' tank is also about to be mass-produced. The King Tiger tank had thicker armor and a more powerful 105 mm gun. The Americans wanted to catch up with the tanks of the armored forces of the Imperial Army. It's simply not possible. "The commander of the 1st Armored Brigade had a look of pride and pride on his face. (To be continued.) )
