    "Good evening to all my friends at the scene and viewers in front of the TV! Today our program is honored to invite six veterans of both sides who participated in the Battle of Chicago fifty years ago to tell us about that battle.  The largest tank battle in history." Just as the young host was about to arouse the emotions of the audience, he was interrupted by a loud shout:

    "Haha, I didn't expect it to be you, old George! After all these years, you are still alive!" No one expected that a thin old Chinese man could have such a loud voice.

    After taking one look at the old school uniform worn by the old man, the host still choked on his words.

    "I didn't die in your hands back then, and those ghosts and gods have not dared to accept me these years!" A tall, gray-haired American old man also stretched out his arms to greet Yang Rukui, who was striding over.

    "Director, turn the camera this way, let's start the topic again!" After the veterans from both sides reminisced about each other and took their seats, the host, who had been standing in Pangbian for a long time, reluctantly brought the topic back.

    "Back then, there really wasn't much to say. Our tanks kept rushing over, killing everything we saw. There was nothing that could stop us!" Yang Rukui's disapproving words made the host roll his eyes.

    "That's true!" George nodded in approval, "At that time, your Type 46 tanks were really powerful, and our Pershing and Super Pershing were unable to compete with them. Even the Overlord Tank was no match for it!"

    After so many years, military experts have reached conclusions on this.

    ¡°I heard you had a secret weapon back then?¡± the host asked knowingly.

    Many details about that battle have long been disclosed, and even the various secret weapons of the Americans at the time have been analyzed one by one.  The host knew it, and so did George, but in front of a large audience, he still needed to go on with what he meant.

    "In view of the thick armor of Chinese tanks at that time, we worked with the British to develop tungsten carbide sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles. Although the source of tungsten resources was controlled by China at that time, the Allies still accumulated a lot of reserves and produced a lot of  There are fewer such sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles, and they were deployed in large numbers in this campaign.

    When I met Lao Yang¡¯s tank.  Although it was the first time I saw the Type 46 tank.  But we also had a premonition that ordinary pointed armor-piercing bullets and even capped armor-piercing bullets would not be very effective. From the beginning, we commanded our tank platoon to fire 4 sub-caliber armor-piercing bullets in succession.  "

    "Four? I heard that this thing is extremely powerful. It seems that it can penetrate 200 mm thick uniform armor at a distance of about one thousand meters?" the host pretended to be surprised.

    The question he asked was not very professional, but George would not find fault in this aspect. He nodded lightly and continued calmly: "Absolutely! The 105mm gun used by our Super Pershing C2. In my opinion  It was enough to deal with the two Chinese tanks rushing in front of me. But our attack missed 3 tanks in the first round. Only one hit the one on the right. I saw it clearly in the gun scope.  The front of his tank."

    "If it weren't for the anti-tank trench that slowed us down, you wouldn't have hit us. But you hit it too squarely!" Yang Rukui said rudely.

    "Yes, that's too right!" George said with a wry smile.

    No one in the United States at the time expected that the Huaxia Type 46 tank that would emerge would be the T64 tank that later adopted composite armor to protect against attacks by various armor-piercing projectiles.  In particular, George's tungsten carbide sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles hit the front where the armor protection was thickest, and eventually they were exhausted.

    "You only have one chance. I didn't expect that your Type 46 tank adopted two-way gun stabilization technology so early!" George was more emotional.

    After the concept of main battle tank was first proposed by the Chinese, later generations continued to divide it, but the core division method is still the combat mode.

    The first-generation main battle tank is only equivalent to a mobile artillery. Except at close range, when shooting at an opponent, it needs to stop to shoot.  To ensure accuracy.

    The Americans¡¯ Super Pershing, Overlord Tank, China¡¯s Type 59, and Level 1 Rhino and Grizzly.  They all belong to this first generation.

    The Type 46, which China emerged in that battle, not only wore composite armor that could resist armor-piercing projectiles, but also adopted two-way artillery stabilization technology.  The tank can be driven at a constant speed while shooting at stationary or moving targets without having to stop.

    This is also an important reason why the Chinese tank corps rushed all the way and attacked at a speed that the Americans did not expect.

    Moving targets are not that easy to hit.

    ¡°Perhaps when it is necessary to slow down or even stop in front of the anti-tank trench, it is easy to be attacked by the Americans, but after crossing the anti-tank trench, the running Chinese tanks make it difficult for the Americans to even aim.

    AndHowever, the gun barrel of the summer tank kept adjusting its direction, hitting those stationary American geese all the way.

    Even the Overlord tank can¡¯t benefit from the T64¡¯s 125mm tank gun.

    Unfortunately, George's Super Pershing was knocked down. He survived the catastrophe and was captured. The four Super Pershings in his tank platoon were also knocked down by the two T64a tanks on the opposite side.

    "Your Type 46 tanks are too powerful!" George couldn't help but sigh. He knew that some of the tank crews in the same prisoner camp as him were driving Overlord tanks, and they were also beaten to pieces by the Type 46 tanks.

    "No! The Chinese Type 46 tanks are not the strongest among the Chinese main tanks that participated in that battle!" A bearded American from Pangbian interjected, "They also have second-generation Grizzlies and Rhinos. I think they  Stronger than Type 46!"

    The Grizzly and Rhino tanks still have their original titles. Although the second-level Grizzly and Rhino are also second-generation tanks, the tanks created by the base technology not only integrate the technology of the United States and the Soviet Union, but also condense the technical essence of countless time and space. Compared with  For the T64 tank, which has many flaws, it is indeed much stronger.  If the American Overlord tank can still hold up for a while in front of the T64 tank, it will collapse early when facing the second-level Grizzly Bear and Rhino.

    The Americans just hoped that there would not be many second-level Rhinos and Grizzlies, so they launched a large-scale tank war in an attempt to win by numbers. However, they did not expect that an equally abnormal T64A tank would appear, and even the second-level Grizzlies would appear.  The number of Rhinos and Rhinos also doubled with the upgrade of the base, directly suppressing the Overlord Tank and retreating step by step.

    "Although I'm just a pilot, I always believe that the Apocalypse tank is the strongest!" Pangbian, the fat old man who could no longer fit into the American flight suit, said solemnly.

    As soon as the words "Apocalypse Tank" were uttered, it was as if they were filled with magic, causing everyone present to stop speaking together.

    For the Apocalypse Tank, which only officially appeared in the later stages of the battle, George, who was captured early, had a trace of regret on his face that he could not see it in person.

    And the bearded man who had fought against rhino and grizzly bear suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of terror in his eyes.

    The three old Chinese soldiers involuntarily straightened their tired waists, and their faces naturally overflowed with pride.

    Even the audience and hosts were fascinated. The story of Apocalypse Tank grew with them and became a true legend in the minds of many people.

    Everyone at the scene was immersed in their own thoughts for a while, until the host responded and smiled at the fat old man and asked: "Have you ever been in contact with the Apocalypse Tank?"

    "My Saber fighter was shot down by the Apocalypse tank back then!" The fat old man's face, which had been smiling all the time, couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness.

    "As you know, China's tank troops advanced too fast back then, and they were mixed with our troops. The carpet bombardment tactics that we used as one of our trump cards to cover all directions with artillery fire also failed. What's more, at that time, China's tank troops  The Pioneer Cannon has moved to the front line again. Which artillery dares to attack openly in front of the Pioneer Cannon? Our artillery will eventually be jointly strangled by the Pioneer Cannon or your heavy artillery, missiles, and attack aircraft in the sky.  , it won¡¯t work at all.¡±

    Although the fat old man was only a pilot, he was familiar with some details of that year: "Without effective on-site support from artillery fire, our tank troops were always under attack from your Type 46 and second-generation Rhinos and Grizzlies.  At a disadvantage. In order to change this disadvantage, Washington launched the windmill plan."

    "Oh, is that the ground attack plan of the piston propeller fighter?" the host asked in surprise on behalf of the audience.

    "Yes. Although those old-fashioned piston fighters were not effective against jet fighters, they were still very dangerous against the tanks on the ground at that time. At that time, our jet fighter group was busy resisting the attacks of Chinese fighter jets and was unable to escape.  Now, we can only rely on these old-fashioned piston fighters. You also know that at that time, the number of piston propeller aircraft in the United States was definitely the first in the world!" When he said the last sentence, a trace of emotion appeared on the face of the fat old man.  Proud, but then a wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth,

    "Such an attack plan has been implemented a long time ago, but those piston propeller fighters were too slow and were easily shot down by China's dense anti-aircraft artillery during the attack. Most of our piston fighters were damaged in this way at that time. It's just that this  Once, the Pentagon formulated a tactic to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, intending to take advantage of the Chinese tank army's rapid assault and lack of support from fixed positions of anti-aircraft artillery to launch an air strike and win a key victory.

    We also thought in advance that the rapidly advancing Chinese tanks lacked the support of anti-aircraft missiles, so some jet fighters also participated in this air attack, but we never imagined that there are such terrifying tanks in the world as the Apocalypse Tanks.Device!  "The fat old man's little eyes suddenly widened. (To be continued ps: I tried other writing styles, which delayed the time again. I hope you can understand!
