Chapter 775： Mouse tank

"The king is still in the city. Just in the daytime today, the king and the queen are still inspecting the city." While patrolling, the supervising team instilled this fact on the frontline soldiers.

"Behind us is London, our capital. For many years, we have never been beaten by the enemy in the capital. Now, we must fight bravely to defend our capital!"

The king, right behind him, without losing an inch, is here to fight the Germans!

The news continued to spread on the ground, and gradually, the soldiers' mood calmed down.

Yes, the king appeared in the city every day. When digging trenches, the citizens spread the word. Even one day, the king appeared in the suburbs and digging trenches with everyone.

How could such a king abandon the city and run away?

The enemy is propagating indiscriminately, the enemy is fighting psychological warfare, and we must not be fooled by the enemy!

It's just that the whole night, the other side is clamoring so much, it can't help being a bit annoying.

No one can fall asleep at this high pitch.

When the day came, when the eastern sun appeared, almost everyone looked at the opposite side with red eye circles. The Germans, are they going to play fatigue tactics?

But throughout the day, there was nothing but the German shouting!

Another day has passed, and from day to night, the Germans seem to only shout!

So, this night, most soldiers put cotton in their ears, held their weapons, and fell asleep in the trenches. If they don't sleep, they should collapse. The Germans might have this idea!

This time I slept quite comfortably, and the tension of days was relieved in my sleep. However, most people have their own wives, children, or parents in their sleep.

They are a little homesick.

"Rumble, rumbling." A huge roar came from the opposite side. With the roar, the whole ground trembles.

The soldiers in their dreams were awakened one after another. They rubbed their eyes, slowly poked their heads out from behind the breast wall, and looked to the front. Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

what is that?

A huge monster appeared on the opposite position!

This monster looks extremely tall, it is like a cruiser, has been driven to land!

This is a tank. The overall configuration is completely similar to that of a tank. The lower part is the car body and the upper part is a turret, but it is equivalent to an ordinary tank, more than doubled!

Is the entire car body four meters wide?

They can only see the front, the large car body of the other party, and the track on the opposite side. They are probably more than one meter wide and the height is definitely more than three meters!

How much should such a big guy weigh? It must be more than a hundred tons!

At this time, they had an ominous premonition in their hearts. In the past two days, the Germans have been engaged in propaganda, which is actually a guise. The real purpose of the Germans is to wait for this big guy. Our own anti-tank trenches!

They can't see the opponent's car from the side, but it is conceivable that the opponent's car is definitely quite long, long enough to easily span their own anti-tank trenches!

At the front end of this huge tank, there are two large iron wheels. When the wheels are rolling forward, there will be occasional explosions. It is a buried anti-tank mine that was crushed by the wheels in advance.

The German weapons set the world record time and time again, making the opponents undefeable!

This weapon is the most proud work of Dr. Porsche. It has been officially named Rat Tank by the Weapons Bureau!

The equipment generation, the finalization generation, the pre-research generation, and now, German weapons and equipment have embarked on the fast lane.

The Panther 3 tank is already the most powerful tank equipped by Germany, capable of sweeping the entire world, but Germany will never be satisfied.

The new generation of Tiger tanks are being steadily developed. In the initial state, this tank is designed in accordance with the 45-ton tank. At the same time, it has enough potential to expand to 60 tons.

In the Tiger tank competition, Porsche's product bid failed. Compared with Henschel, Dr. Porsche had a broader mindset. He developed electricity to promote this cross-century creation. As a result, mechanical failures continued.

In order to pursue the stability of the equipment, the Weapons Bureau chose Henschel’s plan, and Dr. Porsche’s bid failed.

After the failure of Porsche, it is uncomfortable. After all, as a technical madman, realizing his technical ideals is what he hopes most.

He felt that his life was worthless, and at this time, the head of Cyrenk personally instructed him to give Porsche a new generation of tank development projects.

The initial plan of the project is a 100-ton tank!

This project made Dr. Porsche extremely excited You should know that after the weight exceeds 50 tons, the poor mechanical transmission will become unreliable, especially the clutch device, which will be reimbursed frequently. Yes, if it exceeds one hundred tons, then mechanical transmission is simply impossible to adapt.

Only electric drives work!

Ordinary mechanical transmission is the engine, clutch, gearbox, all the way to the driving wheel, which drives the track.

In electric drive, the engine drives the generator. The electricity from the generator is then transmitted to the motor, which is reduced by gears to directly drive the crawler. This eliminates the need for intermediate links and does not require a complicated mechanical transmission, which naturally improves stability. .

However, in the Tiger-style chassis, it is terrible, and the failures continue, because Dr. Porsche can not solve the heat dissipation problem. Generators and motors are easy to burn.

So, now expand to 100 tons? On the contrary, it is easier, because the power cabin has more space!

At this time, the mouse tank that came into operation was 12 meters long, and half of the space belonged to the power cabin!

If it is directly driven, a diesel engine is the best choice, because the torque is large, but if it drives the generator, the power output is definitely the first. Therefore, Dr. Porsche directly brought the latest 1800 horsepower Daimler -Mercedes-Benz DB601ARJ engine.

Yes, the engine used in the BF109 aircraft has been further improved, and the power has finally reached the order of 1800 horsepower. Moreover, this is a liquid-cooled engine, so there is no need to worry about heat dissipation.

The engine provides energy to the generator through an indirect gearbox. The electricity generated by the engine is then used to drive two electric motors, which drive the action gears to move the vehicle. In the test, it ran out at a terrifying speed of 38 kilometers per hour. 22108
