Chapter 189： Rage T-26

In terms of volume and length, it is larger than CV33, but in terms of height, the opponent is far beyond!

CV33, the top of the car body is almost flat, and the tank on the opposite side has a big turret on top!

The car body is high at the front and low at the back. The neck is a bit long, and there is a turret on top. This tank is the Soviet T-26! Especially on the top of the turret, the tank gun like a firewood stick made the Italian tank soldiers here frightened.

The opponent also has tanks, and there are tank guns on the opponent's tank! Look at the caliber, it's 45 mm!

The 45mm tank gun is definitely an extremely outdated tank gun compared to World War II. But now, at the end of 36, the 45mm tank gun is definitely powerful!

This tank, like tanks in many other countries, was designed on the basis of the British "Vickers" tank. It was officially finalized in 1931 and equipped with the Soviet Red Army in 1932. It was one of the early main equipment of the Soviet Red Army tank unit. .

If compared with the German No. I tank in the same period in history, the firepower of the T-26 is much higher than that of the No. I, and it exceeds the No. II, reaching or even exceeding the level of 38t and the early No. III. After all, even the latter two. , And only equipped with 37mm guns.

The early T-26A adopted a parallel double turret design. The main gun had a caliber of 37 mm. The caliber of the T-26B was increased to 45 mm.

This embodies a principle of the Soviets, firepower, firepower, firepower! This is the first principle! Mobility and protection must give way to firepower!

Even if the armor protection of this T-26 light tank is only 15 mm, it is not capable of resisting infantry firepower. They must first strengthen the tank gun!

In the later period, it was the same. When the KV2 appeared with a 152mm howitzer, it looked like a complete big-headed son, and even won the title of toilet head.

The T-26 tank is a tank equipped with a large number of Soviets. Now, this tank has been secretly transported to Madrid!

Inside the tank, tank soldiers from the Soviet Union were driving.

Tanks are absolutely high-tech equipment in this era. It is impossible to train ordinary people to be able to drive tanks for combat without three or five months. If nothing else, the cumbersome operation essentials require a high school degree.

Therefore, these tank soldiers are all from the Soviet Union, and they have at least one year of experience in operating tanks in their hands.

Now, the rebels are attacking Madrid. It is mainly a defensive battle. However, in the defensive battle, you can still fight back several times!

Like now! The rebels are aggressive, and they need to get rid of their spirit!

The engine of the T-26 tank is roaring. This ten-ton tank has a 91-horsepower engine at the tail. At this time, the gasoline engine is roaring, and the tank soldiers are operating the tank and attacking the Italian army on the opposite side. Counterattack.

T-26! It turned out to be T-26! When the Italian tank soldiers saw the opposite tank clearly, they hardly hesitated to make their choice, put in reverse gear and ran away!

Your own machine gun can't pose a threat to the opponent at all, and the opponent's 45mm tank gun can easily destroy yourself!

The Italians are not stupid. They were looking forward to having German tanks to give them courage. Now, only they are left. They are not confident enough. Now, when they encounter the opposite tank, they can only be Choose Back.

Operating a tank to turn around is not so easy and will waste precious time, so in the first time, they all chose to engage reverse gear.

As for the infantrymen of the Noodle Army who followed, they were not stupid. They saw their tanks retreating, and of course they followed them and ran backwards.

"Oh, oh!" The soldiers in the position behind cheered instantly. They were extremely excited. As soon as their tanks were dispatched, they scared the opponent back!

The cheers here are encouraging the T-26 tank troops. They stepped on the accelerator, increased their speed, and attacked in the direction of the Italian army!

In any tank of this era, the forward speed is greater than the backward speed, so it didn't take long for the T-26 tank to catch up with the CV33 tank in the back!

Although both tanks are small, there is no doubt that the CV33 tank is even more compact!

A T-26 tank stopped and the commander shouted: "Aim, shoot!"

"Boom!" The T-26 tank uttered a roar, and the car body trembled violently. In the tremor, a 45mm shell flew over!

In this era, how to counterattack armored forces is an emerging topic. After research, there are two common anti-armor shells, cap-piercing shells and steel core armor-piercing shells.

Among them, the capped armor-piercing projectile is a common solution.

Due to the increasing inclination of the front armor of the tank body or warship, the common armor-piercing projectile in the shape of a pointed cone is easily bounced by the inclined armor. If the warhead is blunt, the armor-piercing projectile will be It can make the armor-piercing projectile "turn up", reducing the angle of incidence of the warhead and making it easier to penetrate the armor.

Therefore, weld a quilt with better toughness and a blunt appearance on the outside of the sharper head of the armor-piercing projectile to reduce jumping. This blunt head is called the "quilt cap" of the armor-piercing bullet. This is the blunt-headed armor-piercing bullet.

These armored soldiers sent from Moscow are highly skilled and have a high accuracy in static-to-movement shooting!

This 45mm armor-piercing projectile that flew out accurately hit the weak armor of the CV33. Then, the front quilt just started to soften, and when the warhead inside was ready to exert force, the target armor Can't bear the pressure of the impact, and broke a big hole!

Along this big hole, a 45mm armor-piercing projectile got in, from the front, through to the back, and hit the engine behind.

A raging fire emerged from the inside of this CV33 tank and destroyed it accurately!

On the front of Badajoz, this small tank put a lot of pressure on the defenders, and now, in front of the T-26 tank, this small tank is vulnerable!

The Soviets have always attached great importance to the power of artillery. The current 45mm tank gun is also a product of this kind of thinking. How powerful is its firepower? At a distance of 100 meters, it can penetrate about 40 mm armor steel!

The CV33 small tank, the front armor is only ten millimeters thick, it can't withstand the shooting of this tank gun! As long as it hits, it will be destroyed!

One after another T-26 uttered a deafening roar. Under their blow, the Italian army completely retreated!
