In this regard, Zhang Chi held a meeting within the Expeditionary Force. . The fastest update

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Chi sent information and pictures of the "Tiger" tank received from Montgomerina.

The officers were stunned when they saw the documents in their hands. As Chinese soldiers, they always thought that the American tank was the most advanced. Unexpectedly, when they saw this "tiger" tank, it was simply a place in the sky and the other underground.

"General!" Wu Min, the leader of the tank regiment, asked: "These information... means we will face such tanks soon?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Zhang Chi's answer soon caused a sensation in the meeting.

"General!" The fellow villager even asked with the document: "These data are not true, is the front armor 102mm, and the artillery is an 88mm anti-aircraft gun?"

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Chi replied angrily: "Otherwise, why would I send them to you?"

The officers couldn't help but be speechless.

They actually knew it was true early in the morning, just hope it was not true.

"General!" Of course, the one who cares about this issue most is Wu Min, the leader of the tank regiment. He frowned while looking at the data on the file and said, "If these data are true, then how should we fight this battle? The tanks in our hands are not the opponent of this kind of tank at all!"

Wu Min is right. The Germans installed the 88mm anti-aircraft gun on the tank. Everyone knows the power of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun. It can easily make the thick front armor of "Matilda" like a basketball hole at 1,500 meters away. Of course, it is even less difficult to deal with the "Sheerman" tank with thinner armor.

At the same time, its armor is as thick as 102mm, and even the side and even the rear armor is 82mm... In other words, its rear armor is much thicker than the front armor of the "Sheerman" tank 76.2mm, and "Sheerman" cannot destroy it even if it goes around its rear.

Zhang Chi thought for a while and said, "First of all, the enemy will not always be as easy as the Italian army, and the battlefield will not always be as lucky as we fought the German 21st Armor Division when we were in Maherama. If this battle cannot be fought, will the Germans surrender as soon as they set up this 'tiger' tank?!"

The conference room suddenly became silent, and the officers unconsciously showed some shame on their faces.

This may be the sequelae of using American equipment... Since the Expeditionary Force was trained in Myanmar, it has gained an absolute advantage in equipment, whether it is light weapons or heavy weapons.

After that, he fought for several years in this kind of advantage, from Myanmar to the Pacific Islands, and even returned to the Northeast. The equipment can be said to be getting better and better, but the Japanese army basically did not change much, and even became weaker due to the deepening of the war and the lack of resources.

This made the officers and soldiers of the Expeditionary Army gradually get used to fighting wars with superior equipment. Now, when they hear that the Germans have tanks that are more advanced than "Sheerman", they are a little unable to adapt.

"Yes!" Staff Liang replied, "Warning war does not mean that we can always maintain our equipment advantage. If only such a war can be fought, then the little Japanese should have been crippled by the Americans long ago? But what's the result? What we see on the Pacific battlefield is that the Americans can't do anything to the Japanese, and they will eventually have us on!"

"It's right!" the fellow villager nodded and said, "Brothers, weren't we also at a disadvantage in equipment when we faced Japan? We also fought well in China?"

"But... can it be the same?" an officer whispered: "We are facing a guy as big as a German..."

"What are you saying?!" Zhang Chi interrupted him and said, "I want me to tell you, the battle we fought in the past was so painful. At that time, the Japanese had tanks, and even the Japanese had planes. Although the Japanese now don't have any airplanes, we used bayonets and flesh and blood to fight the Japanese. Now we still have tanks, cannons, and armored vehicles..."

Zhang Chi actually had never experienced such a battle. Even if he had it, it was in the early stages of the Myanmar war. He said this mainly to make the officers and soldiers recall their combat experiences when they were under weak equipment and stimulate their blood.

"That's it!" Liang Gongshu nodded and said, "We have suffered all the hardships and fatigues. Today we can say that we have everything, and can we still be afraid of the German devils?"

"It's right!" the officers said:

"We have to fight if we can, but we have to fight if we can't fight if we can!"

"Even if you use your teeth to chew off the German devils' Raush tank!"

"What are a few tanks? I don't believe they can turn into the sky!"

...

Looking at the officers' appearance, Zhang Chi nodded in satisfaction.

What he was most worried about was that the appearance of the "Tiger" tank would affect the morale and confidence of the officers and soldiers. Now it seems that at least there is no need to worry too much about this problem in front of him.

"Second!" After pausing, Zhang Chi continued to return to the topic: "The Germans have few tanks. According to uncertain information, Da Lei has five, and I believe that Germany is likely to launch an attack at night and choose to launch an attack in the early morning!"

"General!" Wu Min couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What are you guessing like this based on?"

"The reason is very simple!" Zhang Chi picked up the photo of the "Tiger" tank and shook it, saying: "This thing weighs 57 tons in total, nearly twice the weight of the "Sheerman" tank. Although this gives it strong protection and firepower, and has sufficient ammunition, the engine is overwhelmed and often has the problem of overheating the engine..."

Wu Min couldn't help but say "Oh" when she heard this.

The battlefield in North Africa is a desert terrain. The characteristic of the desert is that the temperature is extremely high during the day and extremely low at night. Sometimes it even reaches 37 degrees during the day and below zero at night.

This is also the reason why the "Matilda" tanks cannot adapt to the North African battlefield... The "Matilda" tanks also have the problem of engine overheating. They drive in high temperatures during the day and often have to stop and cool down after traveling more than ten kilometers, otherwise they will malfunction or even catch fire.

If the "Tiger" tank also has the same problem, it will naturally choose to act or fight when the temperature is low at night, otherwise it will undoubtedly affect its combat effectiveness to a considerable extent and even cause many uncertain dangers.
