"Maybe we will start killing people from today on." After the fat man finished speaking, Zhao Shanhe felt a little chill on his back.

The two men found a place to stop the tank, and then the fat man got off the tank and lay on the ground with his ears as close to the ground as possible: "There seems to be no movement. The current war situation here is not good, and the country can no longer control the supplies.

This is also a problem. Even if we can kill the enemy, the supplies transported by helicopter will not be easy to find. We will start to

Start heading towards the desert town"

Zhao Shanhe nodded: "There are only two of us left now, and your suggestion is good."

After taking a long detour this time, Fatty was a little worried about not having enough diesel, but the result was similar to what Zhao Shanhe had guessed. When he arrived at the desert town, there was still at least one-third of the diesel in the mailbox.

What caught the eyes of the two men was a huge river. There were roads in front and behind the defenders and the enemy that led to the two halves of the map. Almost everyone knew these maps before they went to the battle line.

, and each tank is equipped with a detailed map, because rivers and highlands have a considerable impact on combat, so these are basically

Can be found on the map

On the map, there is a small town on one side by the river, and a sand dune area on the other side. The fat man looked at Zhao Shanhe: "Where to go?" When he arrived in a strange environment, he spoke less and seemed less confident. Zhao Shanhe

He looked into the distance and said, "Enter the town, hoping to meet our defenders. I heard that if we can capture this town, we will be rewarded by the superiors." Listen

When the reward arrived, the fat man opened his eyes wide: "What reward?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled: "It is said to be a mysterious prize." The fat man curled his lips: "I don't know about the government army yet? Who knows what the mysterious prize is. I will give you a broken tank. Do you dare to take it home?"

"Maybe it's a beauty?" Zhao Shanhe looked at the river in the distance. The two of them hadn't taken a bath for more than ten days. If the situation allowed it today, he really wanted to jump into the river and swim and take a good bath.

"Beauty, I would rather believe that the enemy will send us a female spy in the desert. The best way is to use seduction. Then you will be a ghost under the peonies." The fat man's eyes sparkled, but it quickly went out.

Got it

"We'd better be careful. You know what a desert town means to artillery. Enter the town as soon as possible. There are a lot of buildings there. At least we won't be beaten while sitting." Artillery was almost in the desert town.

You can bomb the whole place. The instructor who taught them for five days specifically mentioned it.

"If someone can cooperate, maybe we can pass through here smoothly. I heard that if we pass through several maps mentioned by the instructor, we can return to the city smoothly and obtain a very honorable military medal." The fat man tilted his head.

His self-confidence was heightened today because he destroyed an enemy tank. In normal times, the two of them would not have dared to enter the small desert area.

In such a dangerous area

Zhao Shanhe understood what he meant. The ability of one tank alone was too weak. Even if he had a in his body, which could provide certain benefits to the current M4 Sherman, if the opponent had two tanks

, or even multiple tanks, are likely to be scrapped here. The most important thing now is to find allies.

"Writer, do you think the people who can come here are all very powerful?" Fatty scratched his head and asked. If they were still rookies before, they would never dare to come to the desert town.

"Maybe, but they are also human beings, aren't they?" Zhao Shanhe actually had some guesses in his mind, but he knew that at this time, the two of them would rather be arrogant to increase their self-confidence.

The weather in the desert town was very hot. Zhao Shanhe felt that he was even short of water. Fortunately, the food and water in the tank were enough for one day. Because of the sacrifice of the commander and others, the consumption of these supplies was reduced by more than half.

After walking for about ten minutes, the tank entered the building. For a tank, the cover of these buildings was very important. Zhao Shanhe stood on the side of the road and looked into the distance, seeing the ruins of the buildings.

It proves that there was a large-scale battle here, but now I feel that it is quiet here, which is a bit strange.

He turned around and shouted: "Fat man, something is wrong." The fat man walked forward swaggeringly: "Everything is normal."

Then the two of them saw a woman walking up from the back of the house, "Which company are you from? Why are you running here now?"

Zhao Shanhe opened his mouth but said nothing. The other party suddenly noticed their clothes, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not like they lost all their clothes during the battle."

The fat man spat: "Who said that? We are dressed like this. Do you think we are regular troops?" After he said this, the two people's eyes stopped on the woman's clothes at the same time. It was the most standard attire of the government army. The woman

There was a thick folded stripe on the shoulder of the clothes, and Zhao Shanhe recognized it as the mark of a second-level sergeant.

"I'm sorry, we are soldiers summoned to the front line by the government," Zhao Shanhe explained. The woman seemed to understand something, with a somewhat surprised expression on her face: "So you came from the rear front?"

Before Zhao Shanhe could speak, the fat man had already smiled and said: "Aren't we very powerful?"

"As far as I know, there is at least one enemy reconnaissance tank on the front line. How did you escape his sight?" Chen Ruoxuan had a puzzled look on her face. These two soldiers were just cannon fodder for the government army. She got the news just yesterday.

, all the cannon fodder on the front line behind the desert town were wiped out, and the enemy only left one reconnaissance tank responsible for surveillance work.

"We hit a tank and then took a detour. Although we completed the task of destroying an enemy force before the three-month deadline, the original tank was also scrapped and this one was still picked up, so I thought

I want to come to the desert town to find some supplies." Zhao Shanhe explained his situation. He noticed that the aura exuding from the woman was somewhat unique. It should be

After the battle, maybe he was one of the tank soldiers stationed in the desert town, and the epaulettes on the woman told him that he and the fat man had guessed correctly. The tank soldiers here were more advanced, and they were probably regular troops.

The map is divided into two halves by a river. There is a road in front and behind the bases of both sides that can lead to the two halves of the map. One side is a higher hilly area with undulating terrain, but it is barely covered. The other side is a main road.

, there is a town on one side of the road by the river, and on the other side is a sand dune area. The town can provide a lot of shelter, but the view is blocked on the sand dune side.

There is not much cover, it is relatively flat, but there are a lot of undulating roads. This map is suitable for artillery. It can hit almost all targets in the entire field. Other vehicles need to be careful about artillery attacks.

The main gun is the arm of the tank. The early Sherman tank is equipped with an M3 75mm L40 cannon. This gun can penetrate a 60mm 30° steel plate at a distance of 914 meters. Its armor-piercing ability is not as good as the 76mm F34 artillery of the early model of the Soviet T34 and the German army.

Compared with the 75mml48 and 75mml70 artillery, they are far apart. The later model of M4 is equipped with a 76mm artillery, at a distance of 914 meters

Penetrating 88mm30° steel plate, the firepower has been greatly improved. It is slightly better than the Soviet T3485, but there is still a certain gap compared with the German 75mml48 and 75mml70. The British were more foresight and installed the 17-pound gun on the Sherman and modified it into

Only the Firefly tank has the ability to destroy German tanks at long distances. 2. Protection comparison:

The main weapon of the M4 tank is an M3-type 75mm gun, which can fire armor-piercing rounds, grenades and smoke grenades. Various improved vehicles of the M4 series are equipped with a total of 4 different types of engines. The transmission is mechanical and the action part adopts

On modern tanks, except for a small number of light tanks with only 2 crew members, main battle tanks have 3 or 4 crew members. The mainstream is the 4-man crew main battle tank. The 4 crew members are: commander, gunner,

Here, the driver and loader take a typical 4-man crew as an example to introduce the division of labor between tank crews. From the perspective of the tasks undertaken by the tank, the main ones are "launching".

Most of the work done by the tank crew revolves around the two major tasks of "car and gunnery". The commander is the commander of a vehicle and is responsible for the combat command and coordination of the entire tank. He must give instructions from above to subordinates.

Before arriving for combat, the vehicle commander must issue combat tasks to all vehicle personnel and stipulate the rough driving route and targets to be attacked. During marching and combat, the vehicle commander passes through the vehicle

The intercom issues verbal orders to the crew of the vehicle. The crew members should repeat the orders or reply verbally, such as the commander giving: "Target - 1000m directly ahead, enemy tanks, armor-piercing bullets, ready to shoot." After loading, the loader should reply: "Armor-piercing bullets, okay."

"The gunner replied: "The shooting is ready." The commander ordered: "Fire". The gunner fired. Careful readers will surely notice that the gun was ejected and chambered.

It's true that this is quite troublesome. This was a typical practice during World War II. To this day, most main battle tanks have a commander's over-shooting system. The commander uses this system to adjust the gun at high altitudes and aim the gun roughly at the target. The remaining

Accurate aiming and shooting is the job of the gunner. Another important thing for the commander is communication. He uses the radio station and chest switch to communicate with his superiors or

You Neighbor realizes duplex voice communication. With the inter-vehicle information system and ground navigation and positioning system, the superior's orders, the location of You Neighbor, the current fuel volume of the vehicle, the number of shells, the location of the vehicle, etc., everything is clearly understood.

It is displayed on the commander's display screen. Compared with a single radio station, it can be regarded as a "shotgun for a cannon". From the observation conditions, based on the commander's observation

The conditions are the best. On the one hand, the commander has the highest position, so he can naturally "stand high and see far." On the other hand, the commander has the most complete observation instruments. The periscope observation mirror can perform 360-degree full-circle observation.

, and the observation conditions of the other crew members are more or less restricted. The gunner, also called the gunner, is in charge of the weapon system. Shooting is his main task.

However, firing a tank gun is not a simple matter. You must first rotate the turret and the gun so that the gun barrel is roughly pointed at the target. You must also measure the precise distance between the vehicle and the target. After accurately aiming at the target, you can fire. Next,

The most important thing is to observe whether the target has been destroyed, whether it is a hit bomb, a close bomb, or a long-range bomb, in order to determine whether to carry out a "second hit" on the target.

"From the perspective of aiming, the gunner's sight has the highest accuracy and the highest magnification. Of course, the angle of view of the gunner's sight is relatively small. "Every gain must be a loss." The gunner also has to control the parallel machine gun.

Shooting with a modern tank fire control system not only improves the shooting hit rate, shortens the shooting reaction time, but also reduces the mental and physical burden of the gunner.

The gunner is the "second in command" in the tank. This is why he is called the gunner and not the gunner. When the tank commander is absent, the gunner can act as the tank commander and command the tank gunner's vehicle.

The intercom can communicate with the outside world through the radio station, while the driver and loader's in-car intercom can only be used for in-car communication with the loader. As the name suggests,

It is the person responsible for loading the artillery shells. It seems simple, but in fact it is not easy. Modern tank shells generally weigh 20kg and are about 800mm long. The loader must use one hand to protect the fuse on the warhead from impact. The other hand

You have to push the bullets into the chamber with one hand and load 5 to 6 rounds of artillery shells in a bumpy tank in one minute. Naturally, it is quite strenuous physical work.

What's more, the loader has to stand up to complete the loading task. In addition, the loader also has to assist the gunner, observe the battlefield, etc. The driver's burden is not easy. Although he only has one major job: "driving", driving a tank is not like driving a car.

For a tank during World War II, pulling the longitudinal lever once required a longitudinal force of about 10kgf and about 100n, and when driving off-road

, the driver has to constantly turn or shift gears, which is very hard. Among the tank soldiers before the 1950s, many tank drivers suffered from lumbar muscle strain. Now the situation has been greatly improved. However, the driver is still very hard in peacetime.

There is more training and less live ammunition shooting. The burden of the three crew members in the turret is relatively light, but the workload of the driver is heavy.

To briefly introduce, the division of labor of tank crews in combat, there is another important aspect of the division of labor of tank crews, which is the division of labor of tank maintenance. The famous American military expert James Dunnigan wrote "Modern Warfare Guide" in 1982.

A book written in the book: "To a large extent, tank soldiers are the attendants of tanks. They must chant at least 100 words every day to these trouble-making mechanical monsters."

If the weather and geographical conditions are unfavorable, the condition of the tank will be even worse." It can be seen that tank maintenance is a very laborious and strenuous job. Many tank soldiers reported that maintaining tanks is much more tiring than driving and firing. Because tanks and aircraft are different, the aircraft returns to the field.

The final maintenance work is all undertaken by mechanics, while the maintenance of the tank is all completed by the tank crew.

If you can invent a maintenance-free or low-maintenance tank, it will definitely be welcomed by tank soldiers. Tank maintenance is divided into preparation before departure, inspection between driving, first-level maintenance, second-level maintenance, and third-level maintenance. The contents include

The general division of labor among the five major tasks of cleaning, lubrication, tightening, adjustment and troubleshooting is that the vehicle commander is responsible for the maintenance organization and communication equipment of the entire vehicle.

The gunner is responsible for the maintenance of the weapon system; the driver is responsible for the maintenance of the engine, transmission part, and control device; the loader assists the gunner in completing the maintenance of the weapon system, and is responsible for the maintenance of the action part. A well-coordinated tank crew

, when it is time for maintenance, as soon as the tank commander gives the order, several crew members will perform their duties and complete the tank maintenance work in an orderly manner.

As for the "three major labors" when maintaining the tank - pulling the tracks, lifting the battery, and cleaning the gun barrel, each requires fifty or sixty kilograms of strength, which requires the cooperation of several crew members to complete the main task of only three crew members.

Battle tanks, sometimes the crews of two tanks need to cooperate to complete these strenuous activities. Tactical analysis: "_*l4qAs usual, we first assume
