Chapter 916: Our Tanks Are Coming

Nerfenich Air Force Base was one of the first military bases to lose contact with the outside world, and Montel felt that there was something wrong. After all, the communication cable was cut, which was possible because the angry German people outside also needed to vent, and some of them knew the location of the communication cable. The telephone line was also cut.

But, satellite communication can't be unusable, right? The base's radio can also transmit for hundreds of kilometers, but now, all of them are unusable! Satellite communication will never fail! Unless the satellite is destroyed! And the base's radio can't be unusable either, it is subject to strong electromagnetic interference, and the interference is specifically aimed at the frequency band of our own radio!

This place seems to be an isolated island, having lost all contact with the outside world. Fortunately, this is a military base with sufficient food reserves, so we cannot be trapped here.

No matter how fast the reinforcements were, they could not arrive now, so Montel always felt something was wrong.

And now, which unit do those tanks coming outside belong to?

"We can already see the outlines. They are M60 tanks and Leopard 1 tanks. They are our troops!" At this moment, the British tank soldiers on the Challenger tanks outside saw the outlines of the tanks coming from the opposite side through the infrared night vision goggles and immediately shouted.

Yes, they are our own troops! Look at those M60 tanks, the logo painted on them is the logo of the US army! And the Leopard 1 tank is also the logo of the Belgian army!

Sure enough, reinforcements have arrived!

The crowd, which had been quiet and prepared to rest and gather strength to continue the demonstration tomorrow, were alarmed again when they saw the tanks coming.

"Another group of American lackeys are coming. We can't let them in!"

"Yes, we can't let them in!" The people of West Germany were extremely angry at this moment! Soon, several young men stood on the road ahead.

"You running dogs of the Americans! If you want to get through, just run over me!" a West German youth shouted, "You have occupied our military camps, occupied our military bases, and imprisoned our Minister of Defense! You are all a bunch of beasts!"

"Yes, you beasts! Release our Minister of Defense!"

People kept standing in the middle of the road. They didn't do this during the day. When the American reinforcements came, they rushed in at once. After that, they finally came up with this idea, to form a human wall! If there were more tanks coming, they would let them run over them!

At this moment, the tank on the opposite side stopped, the hatch on the turret opened, and an equally young man crawled out from inside.

"We are not America's running dogs! We are the West German Bundeswehr! Please move aside, now we will rush in and rescue our people! We must rescue our Minister of Defense!" the young man on the tank shouted loudly.

They were not Americans, British, or people from other Western European countries! On the tank were our own guys! Seeing this scene, the West German people were immediately excited!

Finally, our tank arrived!

"These British tanks have been running rampant here during the day. Now is the perfect time to blow them up!"

"Quick, blow up the British tanks!"

"Yes, I have to take a picture and post it on our BBS!"

"Do you have a fast enough internet connection? I have a scanner at home, come to my house and send it!"

"Okay, but you have to use my online name!"

As the discussion continued, a path opened up in the crowd, and the British armored troops here were dumbfounded.

How is it possible? How could this happen? The troops coming here were not reinforcements from our side, but the rebellious German army! Yes, the German army has already rebelled! They dared to besiege the barracks and turn around, which was already a rebellion!

"Quick, call the regiment commander, request to open fire, request to open fire!" The tank soldiers shouted loudly, but unfortunately, there was a crackling sound in the headset and the radio interference was very serious. They could only rely on the guard soldiers at the back to contact the tower using the intercom.

However, the only thing that made them feel fortunate was that their Challenger tanks did not feel any pressure when facing the opposing M60 tanks and Leopard 1 tanks.

After all, the tanks on the opposite side are equipped with NATO-standard 105mm tank guns, which were originally developed by the United Kingdom.

The L7 105mm rifled tank gun is a new type of rifled gun developed by the British Royal Arsenal in the 1960s to counter the Soviet Red Army's powerful T-54/55 armored cluster and its equipped D-10T 100mm tank gun, a 52-caliber rifled anti-tank gun.

This type of tank gun has high chamber pressure and good accuracy. Its initial velocity and power are far higher than those of the tank guns in service in various countries at the time. It can penetrate two T-54s side by side. Therefore, it was designated as the standard gun for NATO main battle tanks and was mass-produced. Many NATO countries introduced patented production.

Even new tanks, such as the US M1 and early production models, are still equipped with 105mm tank guns.

However, the real armor-piercing capability of this tank gun depends on its ammunition. The original M735 tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile can penetrate 150/60 degree homogeneous steel or NATO three-layer heavy targets at a distance of 2000 meters. This armor-piercing capability is just enough to penetrate these early models of T64/72/64A/72A.

Later, the United States developed a new depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile, the M833, which is conservatively estimated to be able to penetrate armor at a distance of 2,000 meters, equivalent to 210mm/60 degrees. The actual performance was kept secret until later generations.

Of course, the United States only uses this type of artillery shell for its own use and does not export it.

And now, even if the German army on the opposite side really uses the latest depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets from the United States, it is impossible to destroy their own tanks. After all, their own tanks are equipped with the most advanced Chobham armor!

The Chobham Armour was developed in 1976 by the Vehicle Engineering Directorate of the Ministry of Defence in the town of Chobham, and is the pride of the British Armoured Forces!

It consists of several layers of ceramic blocks sandwiched between steel armor plates. The outer armor plate is made of high-strength steel, and the ceramic plates are inserted between the steel armor plates one by one in the way of wall building. This allows the expansion of the outer metal layer and the middle ceramic layer to be consistent, thus avoiding cracking of the ceramic layer lining.

Ceramic is a material with high hardness and low toughness. When armor-piercing ammunition passes through this material, it consumes a lot of energy, thereby hindering the passage of the armor-piercing ammunition.

Historically, the early "Chieftain" tanks equipped with Chobham armor had their protection against armor-piercing shells increased from more than 300 mm to more than 550 mm, and their defense against armor-piercing shells increased to about 450 mm. The Chobham armor on the later-produced "Challenger I" tanks has undergone some improvements to further enhance its protection. For example, the frontal protection capability of the "Challenger I" that participated in the Gulf War has been increased to be able to resist 750 mm armor-piercing shells!

The current Challenger tank is fully capable of blocking the attack of a 105mm tank gun head-on. At the same time, the Challenger tank's 120mm tank gun can easily penetrate the enemy!
