"Do they have any weaknesses in talking about this new tank?" General Streck asked.

"No, they didn't!" Colonel Albridge replied: "They only told us that the armor of this new tank is not thick, because it can be penetrated at a distance of 600 meters!"

The "No. 3" tank can only penetrate the "Matilda" at a distance of 400 meters, and if it is six hundred meters, it can penetrate the new tank... This means that the armor of the new tank is not as good as that of the "Matilda".

"But this doesn't seem to be of any use to us!" Colonel Albridge added: "Because their tank guns can also penetrate our tanks at this distance!"

"This is a matter of quantity!" General Streck said: "But this is our weakness!"

General Strek was talking about reality, there were only 70 left in the German army... To be precise, after the 15th Armored Division suffered losses in this battle, it is likely that only twenty-four tanks of the 21st Armored Division were left.

"Should we transfer the Italian armored division?" asked Colonel Slein.

"This won't help us!" Colonel Albridge shook his head: "Their tanks are M13s with extremely weak performance, and they don't even have gunners!"

"No gunner?" Colonel Slain looked at Colonel Albridge in surprise.

"Yes!" Colonel Albridge replied: "Although their tank members are also four, the four are the commander, driver, loader and machine gunner... In other words, they have equipped machine gunners but not gunners!"

"So how did they fire?" Colonel Slain asked.

"It's up to the machine gunner!" Colonel Albridge spread his hands: "It's just an amateur... I only recently learned about this from the officers of the Italian Armored Division."

It was the first time Qin Chuan heard about this.

But when you think about it carefully, although it is a bit incredible, it also meets Italy's combat needs.

Because before the outbreak of World War II, most of the battles in Italy were colonies against local guerrillas or African indigenous tribes, so the more important thing about tanks was machine guns rather than artillery... The machine guns were shot accurately and densely, and more importantly, the less expensive bullets.

As for artillery... it is just used to scare people. It only needs to be able to shoot shells out and explode and it can shock the African natives, so there is no need to consider the correct head at all, so there is no need to configure special gunners.

So it is conceivable what would be the result of letting such an armored force deal with the British new tank.

"Sir!" Qin Chuan interrupted at this time, "Maybe we can block the British attack!"

"What?" said Colonel Albridge. "Sergeant, maybe you don't know that the British had defeated the 15th Armored Division's tank regiment with these tanks, and they had forty tanks, and we only had twenty-four!"

"I know, colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "But that's because they don't know the weakness of this tank!"

"Do you know?" Albridge asked.

"I may know!" Qin Chuan said: "But I'm not sure!"

"You're not sure!" said Colonel Albridge. "Sergeant, that's my army. It's related to the lives of hundreds of tank crew members and soldiers, and even you, but you want us to use an uncertain weakness to deal with the enemy?"

"Colin!" General Streck reminded: "You must be clear that if we continue like this, everything you said will probably become a reality... But if you are willing to listen to the sergeant's thoughts, although it is not guaranteed to be correct, maybe the sergeant guessed it?"

Colonel Albridge was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "You are right, General. But I don't have hope for this!"

General Streck raised his eyebrows at Qin Chuan and signaled Qin Chuan to continue speaking.

"If I guess correctly..." Qin Chuan pointed to the sketch and said: "The tank guns on the top turret of this new tank should be the same as the Stuart tank gun, and they are all 37MM tank guns!"

General Streck turned his eyes to Colonel Albridge.

"Yes, it's it!" Colonel Albridge replied: "But the point is the 75MM caliber tank gun below it!"

"This is exactly what I want to say!" Qin Chuan continued: "So we can ignore the turret at the top at a certain distance, because we know that the artillery of the Stuart tank has a depth of only 36MM within 500 meters, while the side armor of our army's No. 3 tank has 37MM, which means it cannot be penetrated!"

"Yes, what can this happen?" Colonel Albridge said anxiously: "I said, the point is that 75MM cannon..."

"Colin!" Qin Chuan pointed to the 75MM cannon on the sketch and said, "I don't know if you noticed that this 75MM cannon is installed on the side!"

"Of course, I can see it!" Colonel Albridge replied.

"It has no turret, so it cannot rotate!" Qin Chuan said: "Unable to rotate means it cannot aim at the side target..."

Upon hearing this, Colonel Albridge seemed to have understood something and was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, Sergeant. If they want to aim at us... they have to turn the body of the vehicle, and the gunners have to wait until the body is stopped before they can aim, which means that their aiming speed is very slow!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded and said, "So, when our tank faces this new tank..."

As he said that, Qin Chuan took a matchbox from the table. Colonel Slein knew it and immediately took out a matchbox from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is our tank, this is the enemy's tank!" Qin Chuan placed two matchboxes on the table and explained while moving: "Usually, tanks use frontal armor to face the enemy and approach the enemy..."

This is of course, because the front armor is the thickest part of the tank.

"If that's the case!" Qin Chuan said: "We are walking in a straight line. Even if the enemy's new tank 75MM cannon firing is not big, we can easily aim at us and destroy us!"

Then Qin Chuan set the matchbox again and explained in another direction while demonstrating: "But if we are walking on the diagonal line, we are using half of the side armor to face the enemy..."

"Then it will be difficult for the enemy's 75MM cannon to aim at us!" Colonel Albridge said: "Because we will continue to escape from their shooting world, they must constantly adjust the body. This will not only affect the aiming and shooting of its 37MM cannon, but also theoretically... its 37MM cannon is difficult for its lateral armor!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.
