Chapter 2629: Fuel supply

The M1 tank is a monster that drinks oil.
This kind of gas turbine is originally used for airplanes. It is small in size and high in power. However, the fuel consumption is really great. Take the M1 tank for example, it stores 1907.6 liters of oil. If converted into mass, it is about two. Tons, yes, this tank can carry two tons of fuel, twice as much as an ordinary tank, but it is still not enough for it, because it consumes 500 liters per hundred kilometers, yes, it is 500 liters, an ordinary small For a car, five liters per 100 kilometers is almost the same, even if it doubles, it is ten liters. This tank consumes more than fifty times the fuel consumption of ordinary vehicles!
Moreover, this also refers to roads, with a maximum range of 350 kilometers. If off-road, this range will be rapidly shortened to about 100 kilometers, which is almost the same as the Tiger tank using gasoline engines in the World War!
The tank soldiers are enjoying themselves, and the fuel is almost gone. They have to go back and refuel. When they come back, there is no more fuel. Repeating this process is annoying enough.
Gas turbines also have one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, the fuel consumed at high speed and idling speed is almost the same. Everyone in ordinary cars knows that the higher the throttle, the more expensive it is. Therefore, many drivers step on the accelerator lightly, and some even start from the beginning. In the end, I didn’t step on it very much, hoping to go all the way at idling speed. Of course, there was not much fuel but a lot of carbon deposits.
Gas turbine tanks are useless if you want to save fuel. If you push the accelerator pedal, the fuel consumption is almost the same!
This is not enough. What's more frightening is that the best fuel it uses is jet fuel No. 4 and No. 5. You must know that aviation fuel is inherently expensive, and all it burns is money.
Fortunately, it doesn't pick oil. Although it is best to use a jet, you can also use diesel if needed, or even gasoline or kerosene when needed. If you need to change the fuel, you only need to turn the dial in the cab according to the specific gravity of the fuel. The operation is very convenient. A complete multi-fuel hybrid engine, if it can burn the cheapest heavy fuel like a marine gas turbine, it would be good, but unfortunately this is impossible.
Now, they are all waiting for the arrival of fuel vehicles, and almost at the same time, the tank troops of the Date Country are also refueling.
The fighter plane overhead had already left. The tank unit uncovered the camouflage net and started cautiously. After walking for five kilometers, they came to a flat sand.
The soldiers picked up the shovels and began to dig the sand on the ground, and within a few clicks, the oil drum below was exposed.
"Quick, refuel now!" The oil pipe was stuffed in, and the soldiers started pumping oil with their hand pumps. The gurgling fuel flowed into the tank. This is an advantage!
The land here belongs to them. This is in the country of date palms, so they have plenty of time to decorate. The opponent is an aggressor, and they are not familiar with it at all!
The Beidou system has never been disturbed, but the GPS system occasionally fails. Once it fails, it is not easy to follow the correct route in desert areas.
This is the case with the supply convoy.
One after another M915 military vehicles were walking in the desert. The large off-road tires and the thick and powerful patterns continuously stirred up the yellow sand. All six tires were spinning hard, leading the entire vehicle forward. .
This is the main military vehicle equipped by Eagle Country in the 1980s. This vehicle is also modified on a simple civilian chassis. However, the cab is very good and fully sealed. When needed, the overpressure system can be activated to filter the outside. The poisonous gas, which can guard against chemical and biological weapons.
Of course, this kind of cab also leads to another result, that is, sultry, even if the air conditioner is fully activated, it cannot stop the heat wave outside. The entire cab is simply an oven.
This sweltering climate can make people feel unexplainably restless, just like now, they are very upset one by one. They could get there in one hour, but their navigation system somehow broke down and they went around in the desert. After a big circle, until there is the wreckage of the Challenger tank, it is considered to have found the right direction.
Now night has fallen.
The driver Howard opened the window, trying to blow the fresh air outside, but when he opened the window, a heat wave came in.
"Damn it!" Howard reluctantly closed the window, and he looked at the edge of the desert in the distance, showing a dim shadow under the night.
He regained his gaze and stared at the rear of the vehicle in front of him. Even if they already had air superiority, he still had to abide by the light control regulations on the enemy's ground, and he could not expose himself by turning on the lights.
Fortunately, now there is the moon above their heads, they are not advancing in the dark night.
The car continued to move forward. He didn't know it, but tanks appeared on the edge of the desert just now.
The infrared night vision device originally has no color, but in order to be able to display more clearly, additional colors will be added according to the intensity of the target's infrared, so that the outline of the opposite side can be seen more clearly.
"It's a fuel supply truck!" Armored Ali saw it at a glance: "Order our troops to follow up quietly!"
"Commander, don't we attack them?" the person next to him couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Attack? What's the point of attacking a few oil trucks?"
Of course it's useful. If you attack a petrol truck, you can make the opponent lose fuel, wait! The people next to you immediately understood that, yes, it’s nothing to attack the fuel trucks. These fuel trucks must be refueling the opponent. Now, if you follow quietly, you can find the opponent’s main force. Suddenly launching an attack while cheering on the other side, the scene is even more spectacular!
This is what Armored Ali means. It’s already night, and it’s not easy to find the opponent’s main force. Although he has sent countless reconnaissance vehicles, now that he has encountered the opponent’s fuel tanker, of course he has to keep up. Up! Unexpectedly, good luck.
Armored Ali still held the textbook in his hand. This tactic, of course, was also taught by the textbook. Find the opponent's supply truck and follow it! In this way, greater results can be achieved. Armored soldiers, relying on their mobility, are going to perform such tasks!
How did the Han people sum it up? Ming Ming Han has never fought a large-scale armored war! Now, he has treated this textbook as the most precious thing.
The heavy diesel engines roared, and tankers were advancing in the desert. They didn't know that, just a few kilometers behind them, a tank unit had quietly touched it!
