Chapter 74: Assault on Montana (1)
Montanna Air Force Base.
Everyone, including the commander of the base, knew that a bloodthirsty saber had already been unsheathed and was flying towards them. In addition to the thunder that was not cleanly arranged by the Chinese military rockets and the ss-23 ballistic missiles in the hands of the polar bears also pose a slight threat to them, the entire base is a bit unavailable. The take-off and landing of the fighter jets is a bit frequent, and the noise is a little louder, but it is not annoying at all. On the contrary, it makes people feel proud: Look, our air base is playing the role of a mainstay, and the contribution of this war must be taken at least half of the time! Indeed, starting from the Montanna Air Force Base
The flying fighter jets were simply a devastating force for the Belan Defense Force and its allies, and no one could compete with it. The B-52 bomber group it sent lost all the elite troops accumulated by the Belan Defense Force overnight. Even the Flame Dragon Legion, which consisted of all the Chinese elites, had to retreat and chose to hide underground under the wing knife of the United States. Not to mention the Soviets, there was only a blow. Now the western part of Belan has long been overthrown, from the Kansas Line to the Arizona Line and then to the Arkansas Line, from the rock-like Ghana Fortress to the City of Osios, there were gunfire everywhere, and blood was everywhere, but the air force base
The days in the field are as leisurely as ever. The soldiers should patrol the patrol, the girls should pick up girls, the girls should fight continue to fight, and the people should be gambling try every means to avoid the eyes of the officers. I can make money, and I can make money. Only fighter jets that take off and land frequently and the ground crew who are so tired that they are straightened can prove that they are participating in a cruel war. Occasionally, they find that one or two fighter jets are missing when they come back will be a big news, making the entire base lively. The exhausted pilot told the soldiers who were idle and looking for flies to fight, that the battle on the front was extremely tragic, especially in the Ghana Fortress and the Salt Lake Defense Line defended by the Soviets, which was simply
It can be described as a sea of corpses and blood. This can be seen from their ever-long list of losses. This is all thanks to the red flag of the Chinese army and Sam of the Soviets. These two surface-to-air missiles have become absolute air killers. If you are not careful, one or even multiple missiles will rush over happily. It is absolutely not gentle to send the god of death. It can be said that there is even a bit of a rough kiss... "Their missiles seem to be endless!" All the pilots said with a little anger. However, the front line is too far away from these soldiers guarding the house guarding the house. No matter how miserable the front line is, it is their business. Is it still necessary to live a life?
Today, after watching all the fighter planes taking off, the soldiers who did not need to be on duty ran to the open-air swimming pool to watch the fun. The huge swimming pool was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Everyone was surprised to see a low body with long gun barrels. The rough and simple tank was shaking its head and heading towards the swimming pool. Hey, this is not an active tank in our army, what kind of plane is it? The sharp-eyed guy whispered: "That is the best 68 main battle of the Chinese army. Its performance is more than one level worse than our m1a1, but on the battlefield, he fought m1a1.
The draw was tied and the Army General was so angry that he threw his cup."
Many people showed a look of understanding. The m1a1, which cost up to millions of dollars, was tied by the 68 main battle price of only 500,000 US dollars. Which army leader could laugh? It seems that the Chinese army's four words "more, fast, good, save" are really not a word. Some time ago, the brave Sea Wolf Commando went deep into the enemy and got a 68 main battle, which allowed the armored soldiers to obtain a large amount of key data about this steel beast and be prepared, otherwise the armored soldiers would definitely be more embarrassed than they are now.
Today, this 68 main battle will be conducted an interesting experiment: armed floating ferry. A middle-aged man with long golden hair is conducting the final inspection of his modified 68 main battle, while an army major in charge of the on-site evaluation is a little unbelievable: "Little Armstrong, does this really work? Can the main battle tank weighing more than 40 tons sail on the water like a assault boat?"
Armstrong, the younger brother of Armstrong, uh, jokingly, in fact, he has nothing to do with the famous Armstrong, just like the father of the boxing champion Ali has nothing to do with Alibaba. Armstrong has already run to the moon to plant the flag, and the number one person is still honestly staying on the ground to make his invention that few people would pay attention to. Armstrong, who is covered in oily hands, did not raise his head and said, "Even, just open your eyes and look at it. I will definitely surprise everyone. The facts prove that my patent is not just a testimonial. Once used in actual combat, it will completely overturn the tradition of armored soldiers!"
Lieutenant Colonel Alvin laughed: "Dear Armstrong, I admit that you are a genius, but at the same time you must also be clear about the fact that your path is really not possible! Amphibious tanks were put into the battlefield as early as the D-Day operation, and there has not been much breakthrough since then. This is not too difficult to solve. As long as you want, a slightly decent country can create it, but it is simply incredible to cross the strait and go directly to the beach as you said. The main battle tank is too heavy, it is extremely fuel-intensive when floating, and its resistance to subversion is even worse. A big wave can slap it into the seabed. How do you make the army interested in such a patented army?"
Armstrong Jr. said: "That only shows the short-sightedness of the army! As early as two years ago, the Chinese army used the 68 main battle to cross the water barrier that stretched dozens of kilometers, and even used it as a ship to transport soldiers across the 300-meter wide. The turbid waves emptied the turbulent Red River. These all show that the amphibious tank has huge development potential, but you all chose to turn a blind eye. I will prove it to you soon, I am right!" After checking the last part, he jumped onto the tank, opened the hatch and drilled in. The armored soldiers who had been impatient had been waiting for a long time to start the tank with a smile. The 68 main battle made a low roar and rushed into the swimming pool without any ambiguity. Then, it sank to the bottom. Only the rolling foam can prove that the land tiger was happily playing with the dog-pad diving.
Swimming, Lieutenant Colonel Alvin shook his head and smiled. Little Armstrong, a stubborn donkey, was really a trick. This kid was originally a professional armored soldier, but later he didn't know what to do. He became obsessed with amphibious tanks and had to invent a tank that could gallop across lakes and even the sea. As his old friend, Lieutenant Colonel Alvin knew it was impossible at first sight. If such a tank really exists, what else would he need to do? Everyone is busy building amphibious tanks and carrying amphibious tanks in large quantities.
As expected, Armstrong, little, has repeatedly hit a wall, and has now consumed all his property, but he refused to turn back. He claimed that he had invented an inflatable floating raft that weighs dozens of tons. The main battle tank equipped with this floating raft can gallop across the straits of up to 300 kilometers wide, attacking all targets they dislike like sea wolves. As a result, before he could introduce the benefits of his patent, he let the Patent Office
The man kicked it out. He had a hard time before this patent was invented, and now his life was even harder. The people from the Patent Office regarded him as a liar. The Army had no interest in this patent, and even the Marines lacked interest, which made him very disappointed. But to be honest, m1a1 was really not suitable for such modifications, so the little Armstrong, who did not love his father and mother, aimed at the 68 main battle and the amphibious battle brought back by the Sea Wolf Commando.
The combat capability is relatively strong. Although there are not many rivers in the west of Beland, the Belanders did not understand that this model was specially used in coastal areas. They installed the teaching brigade with a big stroke. Therefore, the main battle of the 68, which has always been known for its durability and reliability, has made the teaching brigade quite dissatisfied. It is precisely because of this that the Sea Wolf Commando was lucky and got a car. If it was a complete main battle of the 68, they would not dare to provoke the commando.
Originally, the 68 main battle was to be transported back to China for further research, but for some reason, the unlucky tank was unable to be sent back to China for a while, so he had to stay in the base. After a large number of experts from afar were satisfied, they handed it to Armstrong Jr. to confirm that his patent was indeed of practical value, but he didn't give him much time. The boss immediately sent a C-17 to transport the tank back to China. This is probably the last chance for Armstrong Jr.
The tank had dived to the deepest part of the swimming pool—4 meters deep, and it was not floating yet. Everyone was a little worried. If the fire died in the water, it would be completely finished. The whole tank would have to be turned into a can. What are you afraid of? What is it? The foam that kept rolling constantly disappeared suddenly, and the undulating water surface calmed down. Lieutenant Colonel Alvin was shocked: "No, the tank was shut down under the water! Hurry up, drag it up!"
The engineers who were ready to take action immediately. The two tanks that were ready to drag were activated. The frogman jumped into the water and swam towards the deflatored tank, intending to tie the steel cables to let the tank drag it up. However, a loud noise suddenly came from the water, and the water column kept spraying upwards.
The tank that had already been turned off actually floated up by itself! You know, the tank is full of weight now. Four armored soldiers and an engineer, and the shells were stuffed into fifty rounds in one breath. It was overweight. It actually floated two-thirds in the water, and drove to the other end of the swimming pool with pride! Those who witnessed this miracle were stunned. Lieutenant Colonel Alvin was also shocked: "Can you ignite the fire again under such deep water and use a floating raft to float to the surface? It's incredible! It seems that the patent of this stubborn donkey still has certain practical value!"
"But..." Looking at the slow 68 main battle, he shook his head regretfully and sentenced the technology to death: "It is too slow in the water. Such speed is fatal on the battlefield and is very easy to be destroyed by the enemy. If the bottleneck of speed cannot be solved, this patent may eventually be recognized by the military."
The lieutenant colonel, who was born in the army's armored soldiers, took it for granted a major technical death penalty. Of course, his concerns were not overwhelming: the speed of the Fudu tank was really too slow. In armored battles, it would be fireballed by the enemy in less than ten seconds! But he ignored that the battlefield of the amphibious tank was on the water. How do you ask the navy to deal with a tank in the water? Use laser-guided bombs to bomb? Use torpedoes? Or let the helicopter sweep with a cannon?
Experience is important, but empiricism can kill people...
