Chapter 1937 Devil Navy Tank

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Speaking of the Type 97 tank, it is easy to think of the Type 97 tank of the Little Devil Army.  There is nothing wrong with this idea.  This kind of tank is actually a transformation from the army tank of the little devil.

    Although the navy and the army do not match each other, and although the navy wants to build its own, after all, the navy does not have the technical reserves for tank research and development. If they want to make their own tanks, they can only start with ready-made tanks. Anyway, these tanks are not  The Army's own, which was developed by Mitsubishi.

    The Navy has always been paying attention to the Army's tank plan. When they got the data of the Army's Type 97 medium tank, they thought the Army was too funny.  In the eyes of the Army, their Type 97 tanks are already considered the main weapon.  But this tank is only equipped with a 57mm tank gun.  That is to say, it is just to be able to show off its power and prestige on the mainland of China. If it is to fight against other armies, it is simply a piece of shit.

    The navy is different from the army. The navy looks at the whole world, especially what the Americans on the other side are doing.  It is precisely because of this that the navy has a broader vision. They know that even if it is a medium-sized tank, it needs to have thick enough armor and strong enough anti-tank firepower.  Only the little devil's army has been building cars behind closed doors.  So the devil's navy finally couldn't see it anymore. After all, they were going to fight the Pacific War. They were going to land on the enemy's land. In the landing operation, it was the little devil's navy that rushed ahead.  Their naval infantry needs to have better, more flexible fire support weapons.

    For the Devils Navy, it is impossible to develop a tank from scratch.  So they planned to use the technology of the Type 97 medium tank from the very beginning.  So they found Mitsubishi. In addition to increasing the protection of the Type 97 medium tank, the most important thing is to equip this tank with a new tank gun.

    Although the devil navy looks down on the army's vision.  But the facts have proved that the devil's navy's vision is not very good.  Their navy has stronger artillery, after all, the navy's naval guns are very powerful.  In this era, many tank guns are actually naval artillery.  For example, Soviet tanks often used naval cannons.  Even during the Cold War after the end of World War II, the famous t-54 tank, which is China's 59 tank, used a 100mm tank gun, which was the Navy's 100mm naval gun.  Generally speaking, tank guns should be cannons with long barrels.  The longer the barrel, the faster the shells fly out, and the stronger the armor-piercing ability. After all, for tanks, their main target is the enemy's tanks.  They mainly perform anti-tank missions.

    But the Devils Navy searched around their arsenal, and actually equipped this tank with a 120mm short-barreled howitzer.

    Generally speaking, tanks do not use howitzers.  The characteristic of howitzers is that the trajectory is curved. Because the barrel is very short, the initial velocity of the shells flying out is not high enough, and they follow an arc.  However, the warhead of the howitzer is very heavy, so a lot of explosives can be loaded inside, and the enemy's target can be destroyed by explosion.  Throughout World War II, the more famous use of howitzers is probably the Soviet kv-2 tank, which used a 152mm howitzer and became a famous toilet head tank.

    The cannon has a straight ballistic trajectory because its barrel is extremely long. Of course, the most perverted one is the German tank gun, which is more than 50 times the caliber, or even more than 70 times the caliber.  Especially the latter, with a straight trajectory.  When facing the enemy tank target, there is no need to make any advance at all, just aim and fire.

    But the tank gun of the little devil actually uses a short-barreled howitzer.  So it can be seen that the little devil's navy is as weird as the air force.  Because the barrel is very short, the pitch angle of this gun is very large. In the plan of the Devils Navy, in addition to destroying the enemy's bunkers, it is even said that it can be used to hit low-flying aircraft.  Using a howitzer to shoot down a plane is probably only a kid who can be so whimsical.

    Although Qin Baoshan is not optimistic about this kind of tank gun, and Qin Baoshan also knows that this kind of tank of the little devil's navy has not played any role in history. On the Pacific battlefield, the tank of the little devil's navy is also used to make fun  of.  Especially when they faced the main force of the US military, the Sherman tank, the tactic used by this tank gun was to launch grenades and blow up the tank through an explosion, but in fact it couldn't do it at all.  At most, even if it hits the Sherman tank, it just makes the tank bump back and forth, causing some trouble for the tank crew inside.  Only the Soviet kv-2 tank, with a 152mm grenade, can directly kill the tanker inside.  However, the armor-piercing shells fired from the barrel of the Sherman tank can destroy the Type 97 tank of the Devils Navy at one time.

    In short, this tank is nothing at all.  But that also depends on the target of the battle.  ifIf facing the U.S. military, this kind of tank is nothing at all, but if it is used on the anti-Japanese battlefield, this kind of tank is very threatening. For example, it uses a 120mm short-barreled howitzer.  It is quite easy to hit infantry targets.  As soon as the bombardment passed, the machine gun position had to fly into the sky.  Moreover, Chu Yunfei's subordinates did not have anti-tank weapons. They did not have a large number of rocket launchers like the Eighth Route Army.  So if it is right, it will probably be very troublesome.  This kind of tank weighs fifteen tons, and it seems to have an engine of two to three hundred horsepower, so the power is not bad. If it shakes slowly, it can also be driven into the mountains.

    According to Qin Baoshan's memory, there are not many Type 97 tanks of the Devils Navy, and they are only equipped with the 16th Naval Infantry Regiment in Yokosuka.  But if all of them are taken out, it will also consist of four tank squadrons.  A tank squadron of the devil has 3 tank squadrons, each tank squadron has 3 tanks, and the squadron headquarters has 3 tanks, so a tank squadron of the little devil has 12 tanks, four tanks  If the squadron comes together, there will be forty or fifty tanks.  Chu Yunfei probably couldn't hold on to it.

    No wonder Wei Dayong wanted to tell Qin Baoshan about the situation at this time. Chu Yunfei was in a crisis. Like last time, should the Eighth Route Army provide help?  Even Li Yunlong couldn't make up his mind, so he wanted to come to Qin Baoshan to discuss it.  It's just that Qin Baoshan has been sleeping, and there is no way to disturb him.  Anyway, Chu Yunfei should be anxious about this kind of thing, and Li Yunlong doesn't need to be too anxious.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
