As a tank designer, Kartsev is quite talented, or he will not stand out in the Nizhny Tagil Design Bureau and become the chief designer. Now, Kartsev has gradually stepped back and let the deputy chief designer Division Venetitov took on more design tasks. Lewen Novel The fastest chapter update is the reason why he can lead the team to Kushiro, otherwise, he will have to stay in Nizhny Tagil.

Now, Kartsev has an indescribable excitement, and he feels that this visit to Kushiro is worth it! The gain is simply too great.

Armor, ammunition, fire control, Andre said it rightly, and even, Andre also put forward a lot of "wonderful", but absolutely practical ideas!

For example, in the fire control system of a tank, a laser range finder is already necessary. Andrei asked whether it is possible to develop a laser suppression system to interfere with the other party's laser range finder. After reaching the opponent's laser emission source, immediately increase the power and directly "burn through" the opponent's laser rangefinder, causing soft kill.

This kind of whimsy, but there is a certain feasibility, so Kartsev's thinking is wide open, yes, it can be done like this!

So, that night, when Kartsev stayed at the guest house in Kushiro, he didn't sleep all night. Thinking of Andre's idea, he wanted to go back to Tagil immediately, especially the idea of ​​​​the armor-piercing bullet. That's right, go back to verify and you'll know!

…………

island nation, Tokyo.

"It's here, it's finally here!" Several small islanders were wearing the uniforms of senior officers of the Self-Defense Forces. Fingers in white gloves, looking at merchant ships in the distance.

Lt. Gen. Paul James, commander of U.S. forces in Japan. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After a long voyage, the army troops transported from the mainland came along with the heavy equipment!

The recent war, the Americans held back their anger, when the Soviet armored forces landed on Kushiro. Americans actually found it impossible to cope! main cause. That is, the United States believes that the island country is very safe, only the air force and the navy are stationed, and the army, which is the main ground war, is not stationed here.

It is the army that decides the outcome of the war in the end! Thinking of the new theory of the domestic air force, just relying on the high-intensity strike of the air force can disintegrate a country's will to fight, this is simply nonsense!

"Report, the 1st Cavalry Division came to station in the island country." He looked at Lieutenant General Paul in front of him. The commander of the 1st Cavalry Division who got off the boat, the large Major General Field-Taylor, saluted Lieutenant General Paul in front of him.

First Cavalry Division! In the army, you can get the number one. In addition to the 1st Cavalry Division, it was the 1st Armored Division. At this time, the 1st Armored Division was stationed in Germany, ready to guard against the Soviet Union's attack at any time. It was on the front line, and the 1st Cavalry Division. Although it is in the continental United States, it is definitely the first army sent out in the event of various situations.

Although it is called a cavalry division, this division does not have a horse. It is a fully armored unit, in fact, an armored division.

This division was established in 1921. As a strategic reserve force in the United States, it has participated in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It was the first ace army that the United States invested in various wars. The United States took a rest, and in just over a year, it came to the battlefield again.

As an ace division, the 1st Air Cavalry Division has a staff of 16,000 people. During the Vietnam War, it began to have more than 400 UH-1-based helicopters and became an air assault division. At the same time, the main land combat equipment of the 1st Cavalry Division is also the advanced M60A1 main battle tank. These equipment cannot be quickly reached by air transport, and can only be reached by sea and across half the world. The fastest speed.

"It's hard work." Lieutenant General Paul said to the incoming commander of the 1st Cavalry Division: "Our task is very heavy. If we want to retake northern Hokkaido, this battle is not easy to fight."

Lieutenant General Paul was also quite depressed when he remembered that he was forced to ask for peace at that time. If he did not ask for peace at that time, the Soviets must have occupied the entire Hokkaido by now. When the time comes, they will cross the strait to conduct a landing operation, which is simply impossible. Mission, and now, with the territory of southern Hokkaido, our armored troops can be stationed there at any time and attack directly north.

The Soviets are content with the status quo. They occupied half of Hokkaido, and they are already happy. What a fool! Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Paul will be somewhat confident.

"Yeah, when we were at sea, we got the news that the new Soviet tanks are very powerful, and the Type 74 tanks of the island countries do not have any advantage in front of their 125mm tank guns." Major General Field said.

The overall performance of the island country's Type 74 tanks is similar to that of its own M60 tanks. Since the Type 74 tanks are vulnerable, their M60 tanks will also face the strangulation of Soviet armored troops.

"Yes, the Soviets have the advantage of weapons, but we also have our own advantages." Lieutenant General Paul said: "As long as we have seized air supremacy, the First Cavalry Division can take advantage of helicopters."

The first cavalry division can be called an air assault division. It has a large number of UH-1 armed helicopters. Through anti-tank missiles, it can kill and damage a huge armored group. Of course, this premise is that it has seized air supremacy.

The mainland is transferring new F-15 fighters must be better than the Soviet Union in equipment!

"Boom, boom." While chatting here, the equipment on the cargo ship was gradually moving downwards, and everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the heavy equipment that came down from the ship.

"Oh, what is that?" The officers of the Island National Self-Defense Force present couldn't help but express surprise.

The first to come down is not the tall M60 tank!

The length and width are larger than the M60, but the height is much lower. The rumbling sound of the rear engine is not like the sound of a diesel engine, with some kind of whistling. The most obvious change is the turret at the top. It is not a round cast turret, but a new welded turret with edges and corners!

That must be the latest American tank, a weapon used to restrain the Soviet armor!

At this moment, the driver in front stretched out his head, looked at the road ahead, and rumbled up.

"Our new tank has been finalized and entered into service?" Although Lieutenant General Paul is a Lieutenant General of the Air Force, he still has some understanding of land warfare weapons. (To be continued.)
