Chapter 634 Self-rescue wood

Shire thought he didn't need to explain to Matthew. He only needed to produce steel ropes to prepare round wood.

But if you think about it, you don't feel right.

If you don't say anything, Matthew did not know the specifications, hardness of the round wood, and the strength of the steel rope. These must be equipped with multiple tests to determine the data before they can be equipped in batch equipment.

Therefore, Charle patiently explained to Matthew:

"The tank weighs 31 tons, and there will be many problems in the journey, especially in some extreme climate."

"For example, when snowing in winter, tanks are easy to get out of trouble because of slipping."

"There is also the rainy season, tanks often fall into the muddy field and can't travel."

Ma Xiu nodded and agreed that these problems appeared repeatedly on the "Santa" self -propelled artillery.

but……

"What does this have to do with round wood and steel ropes?" Matthew puzzled: "What do you mean, can they make tanks get rid of it?"

Shire nodded with certainty.

Matthew and smiled suddenly: "You are not kidding. General, it is not enough to rely on one round wood when the tank is trapped. We need at least dozens of round wood."

What he thought in his head was to put dozens of round woods on the muddy road so that the tank passed.

Shire didn't say anything. He took Matthew to the desk and explained the paper pen and drawing:

"Suppose the tank is caught in a pit or muddy, and we can do this at this time."

"First tie the round wood with a steel rope on the tank track."

"Then start the tank, the tank crawler will bring round wood backwards ..."

(The figure above shows the state of self -rescue wood components and the state when bundled to the track)

(The picture above is the self -rescue wood carried by the tank)

Matthew suddenly realized: "Then the reaction force of this round wood will take out the tank with the tank."

"Yes." Sher replied:

"But there are a few attention, the round wood is hard enough, otherwise it is easy to be crushed. It must be slightly wider than the tank so that the steel rope can be tied."

"At the same time, the strength of the steel rope is large enough, otherwise it is easy to be broken."

"The most important thing is that once the round wood is tossing under the heavy wheel, it must be stopped. First, unbutton the steel rope and continue to move forward, otherwise the log will rotate with the track to the body."

Matthew stared at Charles, I don't know if it was listening.

After a while, he suddenly woke up and asked:

"General, you, how do you know this method?"

"This tank has just been produced, and it has not encountered similar difficulties."

"I mean, shouldn't it be the difficulty first, and then find a solution to the difficulty?"

Charles have not yet come out, and the solution to the difficulty will be available first.

"'Char A1' occasionally happened." Charles Huh: "The common method is to fill in stones and use other vehicles to help out of trouble. At that time, I was wondering if I could have a simpler way to save myself. "" "

Matthew nodded slowly and admired from the heart:

"It is indeed a simple way, a good way."

"It does not need any auxiliary vehicles and manpower, it can be done by relying on itself."

"This is very suitable for use on the battlefield, because there is often no conditions to rely on others at that time."

Everyone is fighting at the enemy during the battle, and it is unlikely to save the tank trapped in the mud.

Even the second line and even the rear, a troops are easily blocked or chaotic if multiple tanks are trapped.

At this time, if the tank can be rescued, it will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

Charles pushed the sketch to Matthew: "What you need to do is to try to produce self -rescue wood and do some necessary tests. After appropriate, apply it to the tank. Is there no problem?"

"No problem." Matthew answered certainly.

Then Charles took the sketch again, and said thoughtfully: "In addition, we can also add a phone call behind the tank."

"Telephone?" Matthew looked at Charles in surprise: "Who can it be played with it?"

The tank is moved. Do you still expect it to drag the phone line?

"No, Matthew." Charle replied calmly: "No need to call anyone, only the infantry to call the tank soldier in the tank to enhance the tank coordination."

Matthew was stunned and stared for a while before exclaiming:

"Good idea, Charles, install the phone."

"This is not expensive, and there is no technical content."

"But it can make Tanfan collaborate with a qualitative leap. You are a genius, Shire!"

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

(The previous two figures are the phone installation of the modern tank, which is used for tank collaboration.)

In fact, Charles had already thought of making a phone call for tanks very early.

Since the invention of tanks, Tan Tan co -organized has always been a big problem. Especially in the intersection, the tanks sometimes have to fight at night, such as attacking Antwerp.

Equting a telephone for the tank can solve the pace tank collaboration well, and even enables it to have the basic night warfare capabilities: infantry can indicate the tank to move forward and indicate the goal for it.

But Charles have never done so.

The reason is that the Germans have greater difficulties in tanks.

There are as many as 18 "A7V" tanks, and 5 members of the "Shangsi Ricia" tanks. Even the LK1 light tanks that have only been developed recently need 3 tank members.

There are only two members of the "Shire A1" tank.

Fewer members means easier coordination, not to mention that the "Charter A1" has advantages in all aspects of performance, and the First Armored Army has spent a long time training infantry-tank coordination.

If Charles moved the telephone to the tank at this time, the Germans would benefit more.

At that time, the "Charter A1" not only failed to increase its advantage over the enemy tanks, but might even narrow it.

The "Charter B1" heavy tank is different. Its crew needs 4 people, which makes coordination difficult.

More importantly, the 75mm gun of the "Charter B1" tank is mainly for coordination with infantry, and adding a telephone to enhance infantry-tank coordination has many benefits for it.

Even if the Germans learn and use it in their tanks soon, the German tanks will no longer face the "Charter A1", but the powerful "Charter B1".

"It will be mass-produced next month, is it okay?" Charles asked.

"No problem." Matthew nodded heavily.

Then he seemed to remember something: "By the way, you asked me to send a few people to the Brest Shipyard to learn..."

Charles almost forgot about this.

He just sent a telegram to Matthew, which didn't explain in detail. Matthew was probably confused and didn't know why a tank builder had to go to the shipyard to learn naval technology.

"Two-way stable fire control system." Charles answered simply: "It will be useful. You can regard the tank body as a ship, and then install a two-way stable fire control on the turret."

Matthew was stunned. Can this be done?

Is this too exaggerated?

If this technology succeeds, will the German tanks still be a match?
