    "Lieutenant Colonel William, are you going to take that tank as a target?" Qin Baoshan hurriedly asked Lieutenant Colonel William, and upon hearing his question, Lieutenant Colonel William nodded: "Yes, we can only use real  Tanks can detect the actual capabilities of this new weapon. At present, the best we have here is the m4 tank, so we use this tank for testing."

    If it is an ordinary test, just put a target, that is, a steel plate with a certain thickness.  But this does not simulate the actual situation.  The Americans are not short of money anyway, and what they have to face is Germany.  The German tanks are very advanced, so now they use this m4 tank as a target, and this is the same.  The best targets they could find, they hadn't started fighting the Germans yet, and it was impossible to get German tanks to use as targets.

    It's just a tank, it doesn't matter. After the outbreak of World War II, the United States passed the Lend-Lease Act. I don't know how many weapons it provided to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. This kind of tank was also given to others in large numbers. I brought one for testing.  no big deal.

    Qin Baoshan's throat squirmed twice, and he still put the idea of ??wanting this tank into his mouth, which was a little too embarrassing. He originally wanted to say, you can just use a steel plate, and give me this tank.  But when I think about it, I feel a little too much.  After all, this is their territory, and what they want to use as a target is their business.  Even if Qin Baoshan asked for this tank, it would be very difficult to get it back to the Eighth Route Army.  Even if you get it back, there is no way to use it.  So I can only watch the Americans recklessly.

    During World War II, the American military industry system was fully fired and produced a series of advanced weapons.  American aircraft carriers are like making dumplings, one after another.  By the end of World War II, hundreds of aircraft carriers came out.  The American B-29 strategic bomber is also a large fleet, and hundreds of them fly out to bomb at every turn. The scene is amazing.  But the Americans' ground weapons are worse, especially in terms of tanks, the Americans are the worst.

    Speaking of tanks in World War II, many people will talk about them.  The German Tiger King Tiger tank is definitely world-class.  In that era, the Germans had already installed steering wheels on tanks, which were very simple to operate.  In terms of quality, Germany is definitely number one, and in terms of quantity, it is the Soviet Union's t-34 tank.  This tank wins entirely by numbers, forming a turbulent tank sea, rushing all the way to Berlin.

    There is nothing to say about American tanks. This kind of m4 tank looks very tall in appearance and is easy to be hit by shells. At the same time, its overall performance is not particularly outstanding.  It is not like the tiger tank that has the advantages of a heavy tank, nor is it like the t-34 tank that forms a sea of ????tanks.  It seems that it has always been unknown, but this tank still has its own characteristics.  Its characteristic is generalization, the parts are all standard, and the parts produced by different factories can be easily assembled.  It uses production lines, advanced management experience, and the advantages of the US auto industry.  Therefore, the production speed of this kind of tank was very fast. During the whole World War II, nearly 50,000 vehicles were produced.

    As for performance, there are also some advantages. For example, its turret rotation device is the fastest in World War II, and it only takes less than 10 seconds to rotate a circle. Using Sherman, it is possible to respond quickly at any time.  The excellent tankers of the Germans will carry out the original steering action, and the Americans don't need it at all, because the turret can rotate fast enough by itself.  At the same time, its build quality is good, the powertrain works well, and mechanical failures are rare.

    Qin Baoshan recalled the advantages and disadvantages of this tank in his mind.  At this point the soldier was ready.  The soldier pulled the trigger, and a flame burst out from the tail of the bazooka. The warhead spun forward and flew out, and soon hit the Sherman tank.

    When the warhead came into contact with the armor of the tank, you could see a burst of flames emanating from the warhead.  Jets of hot metal pierced the armor of the Sherman tank.  Then easily entered the tank.  Then there was a loud bang, and the tank exploded.

    There are actually ammunition inside, perfectly simulating the actual situation!  As the metal jet of this rocket was injected, a martyrdom explosion occurred inside the tank.  The hot flame pushed away the turret on the top and vented from the seat ring first.  Then a mass of fire completely enveloped the entire tank.

    On the battlefield, the Sherman tank was known as a lighter for a reason, its armor simply couldn't stop the bombardment of German tank guns.  And because it uses a gasoline engine, as long as it is hit, the tank will be hit. Now looking at this burning tank, Qin Baoshan couldn't help shaking his head there.

    I really don't know what the American tank designers think. German tanks use gasoline, so there is noIt is a matter of solution, after all, Germany lacks fuel.  In desperation, they can only come up with something like coal-to-oil, turning coal into a liquid fuel, which can only be turned into a fuel like gasoline, and the label is not high, so there is no way to turn it into a liquid fuel.  Diesel, Germany's own diesel must first be supplied to the navy, especially the submarine force, so their tanks can only burn gasoline, there is no other way.  Americans have no shortage of diesel, but they still use gasoline engines to drive their tanks. I really don't know what they think.

    Seeing Qin Baoshan like this, Lieutenant Colonel William was a little strange: "Are you not satisfied with the power of this weapon? We feel very good about this test firing."

    Since they can blow up the m4 tanks, they can also destroy the German tanks.  That's enough for them.  But now, this Qin Baoshan is shaking his head?

    "Of course our weapon is good, but I think this tank is too bad." Qin Baoshan expressed his thoughts without any shyness.

    Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Lieutenant Colonel William was taken aback.  At the same time, beside him, another American's expression became ugly.

    "Do you know our tank?" The other party said: "This tank is only used to test infantry anti-tank weapons. If this tank is activated on the real battlefield, it will not give infantry a chance at all.  "

    This person opened his mouth to refute, which made Qin Baoshan feel very interesting.  I didn't step on your tail, why are you having trouble with me?  But later, Qin Baoshan came to his senses.  This guy is so fierce, could it be the designer of this tank?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
