Chapter 372 Comprehensive Development (1)

Through a review of historical battle examples, Zhang Xuewu found that compared with the poor performance of the large formation, some small t34 tank troops often performed well. With the continuous improvement of the Soviet tank industry, t34x76 was gradually replaced by t34, and basically made up for the above two major shortcomings. In the later period, t34 no longer had much performance advantages over the new German tanks, but the battlefield performance has made great progress. It can be seen that it is not only the three indicators of firepower, armor and maneuverability that determine the performance of the tank, but many design details can play an important role.

Zhang Xuewu knew very well that he had no strength to compete with the Soviet Union in terms of industrial strength, so he could only seek breakthroughs at the technical level. Design ideas and technological leadership are Zhang Xuewu's only advantages and the biggest advantage.

In history, the German Black Panther tank and T34 were the main tank models that fought a decisive battle on the Soviet-German battlefield. In history, it was also the tanks produced by all parties at that time. As we all know, the design of the German Black Panther tank was severely affected by the Soviet T34 craze, so the Germans had the goal of comprehensively surpassing the T34 in performance at the beginning of the design.

t34x85 is a comprehensive improvement of t34 to address the emergence of "Black Panther" and "Tiger" styles in the Soviet Union, which corrected several defects of t3476 and enhanced firepower.

Judging from the firepower and armor data, the Black Panther's index seems to be higher than the t34, while the Black Panther is far inferior to the Iron Cavalry. Although the Black Panther uses a 75mm tank gun, its body tube is 70 times the caliber and its power is 50 times the caliber, and both are inferior to the Iron Cavalry's latest 105mm gun. From the perspective of armor-piercing ability, the Black Panther can penetrate 180mm armor with a high-speed armor-piercing projectile at a distance of 500 meters, while the power of the T-34 at a distance of 500 meters is 107mm. The difference between the two is large, compared with the 328mm of the 105mm tank gun of the Iron Cavalry that fires armor-piercing projectiles at a distance of 500 meters. The two are different.

Furthermore, the front armor of the Black Panther is 100 mm, which is 20 mm higher than the 80 mm in history, while the t-34x85 is only 45 mm, and the front of the Black Panther's turret is 140 mm·t34x85 is 90 mm. Compared with the 200 mm and 60-degree angle special alloy armor of the Iron Cavalry medium main battle tank, whether it is the 75 mm gun with a cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry caval

In terms of firepower and frontal protection, the Black Panther is no weaker than the tiger and even slightly more than the Black Panther. In history, the side armor was weak, while the Germans obtained data from the practical experience of the jackal light tank produced by Rehe, which was thickened to 100 mm. In history, the side of the Black Panther turret was only 45 mm, which was far less than the seventy mm of the t34. In actual combat, side protection was sometimes more important than the frontal. This weakness led to a higher combat loss rate of the Black Panther.

For Zhang Xuewu, the German Black Panther's maneuverability is also worse than that of the t34, with a maximum speed of 46 kilometers per hour, which is 55 kilometers per hour and the Iron Cavalry's medium main battle tank. The maximum distance of the Black Panther Highway is 200 to 250 kilometers, while the t34 exceeds 300 kilometers.

More importantly, the t34 adopted a more modest idea when designing, and the armor and firepower were maintained at a medium level, thus ensuring good productivity. The Black Panther pursued the best performance in all aspects and the manufacturing process was relatively complex, which caused certain constraints on production and processing. From the historical production quantity, the t-during wartime output reached 220,000 vehicles, while the Black Panther was only 5,976 vehicles earlier, and the latter was at a disadvantage in terms of quantity.

When t34x85 was put into the battlefield in 1944, it did not have the indestructible image of t3476 in 1941, but its firepower, protection, and mobility were very balanced. Both anti-tanks and support infantry were competent, and its good mobility made it the main force of combat offensives. Although the Black Panther is better in terms of indicators, its performance is unbalanced, resulting in a range, low output, and high combat losses made it often only maintain a scale of hundreds on the front line. Although the Black Panther performed well in some small-scale battles, it was not very competent for the heavy responsibility of large-scale wars.

Compared with these two, the German black panther has evolved many times, while the Soviet T34 is still in trouble. In the final analysis, it is because Stalin believes that the Soviet Union must maintain a strong deterrent force, and that the nearly 10,000 TB series tanks produced and installed before have nowhere to consume? The Soviet Red Army cannot carry out large-scale installation of new tanks? Therefore, the Soviet Union is also anxiously developing new tanks, and on the other hand, looking for buyers for its backward and outdated tanks all over the world.

Previously, due to the honeymoon period between the Soviet Union and the Chinese government, these tanks were originally intended to be sold to the urgently needed National Government at a high price, and used this as a condition to exchange for some historical clauses. As a result, due to the increasingly serious threat from the Germans, the Soviet Union was forced to make the so-called choice, but now the Soviet Union is very troubled by this huge number of B-grams.

Zhang Xuewu also expressed that he was willing to buy this batch of tanks and all its accessories and ammunition at the price of scrap steel. This time it was the Soviets' turn to consider it. Zhang Xuewu naturally had the ability to take advantage of the situation and was almost cheated by the Soviets in advance. Zhang Xuewu expected that Sino-Soviet relations would end with the entry into force of the Japan-Soviet Neutral Treaty in 1940, but he did not expect that Germany's rise would cause such a great shock to the entire Europe? So the Soviet Union and the Japanese conspired to make peace with the Japan-Soviet Neutral Treaty in advance, which made the ordnance ordered by Zhang Xuewu in the Soviet Union almost detained by the Soviet side because of the treaty.

This also proves that in international relations, there are no real friends, only eternal interests! In the face of interests, the trust between countries is no more than that of a bitch or a client, there is no courtesy, integrity and shame. Naked betrayal and betrayal are constantly being staged. Today is you, tomorrow is him! So there are no so-called friends between countries, only temporary interests sharing groups. Who thinks that one country can become friends in the true sense of no cost with another country? This person must have escaped from a neurological hospital.

However, one thing Zhang Xuewu is very sure of is that if the Germans discovered the weakness of the red beast after the Soviet-Finn War, the Germans who had always taken advantage of your illness and killed their lives would miss the opportunity? Will the Soviet-German War break out in full swing in early 1940? The impatient Germans seemed to want to kick the broken house of the Soviets sooner or later, which was an urgent matter for the Germans. The extreme appeasement policy of Britain and France was also for the purpose of causing trouble! The French Maginot line deeply stimulated the Japanese who were beaten, so the Japanese also built a solid line of defense in Jinzhou, which was the world's number one. The Japanese lacked resources and naturally did not have enough reinforced concrete. Therefore, the Japanese, who were good at digging the ground, carried forward the spirit of the Yamato nation and made every effort to repair the earth.

In fact, what Zhang Xuewu was very worried about is that if the Germans' military strength expanded, it had enough potential to engage in a devastating war, and the Germans crushed the Czech Republic, would Poland point its troops towards France afterwards? Then it aimed at the red behemoth?

If the Germans' military strength is too much higher than in history, will the opportunity and opportunity for Americans to join the war be broken? Because the main reason why Americans couldn't wait to join this war in history was that Japan was trapped in the Chinese battlefield and the Germans were trapped in the Soviet battlefield. Italy in the Axis Alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan, like its representative food, was a plate of pasta.

Gaofei has not stopped developing the air force, because the BF-10r series fighter jets can meet the current combat needs. The foreign and Chinese engineers from Baotou Aviation Research and Design Institute have learned a lot of experience from the improvement of the BF-ko9 series fighter jets. Therefore, Zhang Xuewu is preparing to develop the legendary fighter jets in World War II, which can be called the ultimate fighter jet Mustang P5 of the Piston fighter jets!

Zhang Xuewu did not make a decision on a whim, because the combat radius of the hunting falcon could not meet Zhang Xuewu's requirements, and Baotou was able to produce a VU2 star aircraft engine of 840 horsepower, and the engine's life span exceeded 460 hours. This data made Zhang Xuewu very happy and encouraged all members of the research group to reward him, promising that if an aircraft engine of more than 1,000 horsepower could be developed, Zhang Xuewu would personally name the engine Kunlun and establish an aviation memorial for the research group!

With a strong aviation engine, it is no longer a problem for Mustang P5. Historically, the development of Mustang P5 was legendary. The British Purchasing Committee was preparing to purchase the P40 fighter developed by Curtis, but the company's production task was very busy at the time and could no longer increase its production.

Therefore, the UK asked North American Airlines to produce P aircraft for it, but North American Airlines believed that this aircraft was already behind and was unwilling to produce it. It suggested designing a better aircraft with the same engine. The UK was skeptical of North American Airlines' capabilities, but the company promised to take out the test aircraft for the UK to choose within 120 days.

In this way, the British side reluctantly agreed that this new aircraft was the later famous P5 "Mustang". It was designed by engineers Reginald and Edgar, who had worked in the Messer-Schmidt Company in Germany, and designed the first prototype within the specified time.

For Zhang Xuewu, as long as the Mustang fighter can be put into war at the end of 1940, the air force of his troops will have an absolute advantage and maintain this advantage. The Flame Plan is Zhang Xuewu's last method to break the enemy! Before this shocking secret was solved, Zhang Xuewu would rather choose to remain silent.
