2629: C2629 Fuel Supply

C2629 Fuel Supply

M1 Abrams was a monster that drank oil.

This kind of gas turbine was originally meant for airplanes. It was small in size. It had high power, but it consumed a lot of fuel. Take M1 Abrams for example. It stored 1907.6 liters of oil. If converted to mass, it would be about two tons. That's right, this tank could carry 2 tons of fuel. It's twice as much as an ordinary tank, but it's still not enough for it to use. Because it costs 500 liters of fuel for 100 kilometers, that's right, 500 liters. A normal car, five liters per hundred kilometers would be enough. Even if it's doubled, it's only 10 liters. This kind of tank... It was more than fifty times more than the fuel consumption of an ordinary car!

Furthermore, this also referred to the road. The maximum distance was 350 kilometers. If it was cross-country, this distance would be shortened to about 100 kilometers. It was almost the same as the Tiger Tank used by World War!

The Tank Soldier were having fun fighting, but the fuel was almost gone. They still had to go back and refuel. When they came back, it was not long before there was no more fuel. Repeating the process non-stop was annoying enough.

There was another biggest weakness of the gas turbines, which was that the high speed and slow speed consumed almost the same amount of fuel. Everyone in ordinary cars knew that the bigger the throttle, the more fuel it consumed. Therefore, many drivers lightly stepped on the throttle, and some people didn't even step on it from the beginning until the end. They hoped to slow down and travel the entire journey. Of course, there was not much fuel left. There was quite a lot of carbon accumulation.

It was useless for the tank of the gas turbine to be easy to deal with. If he stepped on the accelerator, the fuel consumption would be almost the same as if he didn't step on the accelerator!

This was not enough. What was even more terrifying was that the best fuel it used was the fuel for # 4 and # 5 Jet. One should know that the aircraft fuel was very expensive to begin with. All it burned was money.

Fortunately, it did not choose oil, although it was best to use the Jet. If it was needed, it could also use diesel. It could even use gasoline and coal oil when it was in urgent need. If one needed to change the fuel, they only needed to change the speed plate in the driver's seat according to the ratio of the fuel. It was very convenient to operate. If it is a complete multi-fuel-mixed engine, like a ship's gas turbine, it would be good if it could burn the cheapest heavy oil. Unfortunately, that was impossible.

Right now, they were all waiting for the arrival of the fuel vehicle. At almost the same time, the Tank Force of Coconut Jujube Country was also replenishing their fuel.

The fighter aircraft above their heads had already left. The Tank Force removed the camouflage net and started moving carefully. After walking for five kilometers, they arrived at a flat desert.

The soldiers picked up shovels and started to dig the sand on the ground. After a few moments, the oil barrels underneath were revealed.

"Quick, work harder!" The oil pipes were stuffed in and the soldiers began to pump the oil with their hands. The gurgling fuel flowed into the tank. This was an advantage!

The land here was theirs. This was the Coconut Jujube Country's domestic land, so they had sufficient time to set it up. The other party was an invader, so they were not familiar with this place at all!

The Big Dipper System had never been disturbed before, but the GPS system would occasionally malfunction. Once it malfunctioned, it would not be easy to follow the correct route in the Desert Area.

This was the case with the supply convoy.

One by one, the M915 military vehicles were moving through the desert. Large cross-country tires, thick and powerful patterns... The sand was constantly stirred up and the six tires were all struggling to turn. They brought the entire vehicle forward.

This was the main military vehicle equipped in Y Country in the 1980s. This kind of vehicle was also modified on a simple civilian chassis. However, the driver's seat was not bad. It was completely sealed. When needed, it could start the superpressure system. It could filter out the poison gas outside, which could be used to defend against chemical and biological weapons.

Of course, such a cockpit also led to another result, which was that it was hot and humid. Even if the air conditioner was fully turned on, it would not be able to withstand the heat waves outside. The entire cockpit was like an oven.

This kind of hot and humid weather would make people feel inexplicably anxious. Just like now, they were all very irritated. It should have only taken them an hour to get there. But their navigation system had an inexplicable malfunction, making a big circle in the desert. Only when there was the wreckage of the Challenger Tank could they be considered to have found the correct direction.

Now, night had fallen.

Driver Howard opened the window, wanting to blow on the fresh air outside. However, when he opened the window, a wave of heat came in.

"Damn it!" Howard closed the window helplessly. He looked at the edge of the desert in the distance, and under the night sky, a hazy shadow appeared.

He retracted his gaze and stared at the rear end of the vehicle in front of him. Even if they already had air control, on the ground of the enemy... They still had to abide by the rules of light control. They couldn't expose themselves just because they turned on the headlights.

Fortunately, there was a moon above their heads, so they weren't moving forward in the dark of the night.

The car continued to move forward. He didn't know that at the edge of the desert that he had just looked at, tanks appeared one after another.

Those that came out of the infrared night-vision device were originally colorless. However, in order to make it clearer, it would add an additional color depending on the strength of the target's infrared. This way, he would be able to clearly see the outline of the opposite side.

"It's the fuel supply vehicle!" The armored Li could see it at a glance. "Order our troops to quietly follow!"

"Commander, are we not going to attack them?" The people beside him could not help but ask curiously.

"Attack? What's the meaning of attacking a few oil trucks?"

Of course it's useful. Attacking caravans can cause the enemy to lose fuel supply. Wait! The people nearby immediately understood. That's right. Attacking the oil trucks was nothing. These oil trucks must be resupplying the enemy with fuel. Now, if they secretly follow them, they will be able to find the enemy's main force. Then, while the enemy was refueling, they suddenly launched an attack. That scene was even more spectacular!

That was what armored Li meant. It was already late at night. It was not easy to find the main force of the enemy, even though he had already sent out countless reconnaissance vehicles. But now, since he had encountered the enemy's fuel transport vehicle, of course he had to follow them! Unexpectedly, their luck was pretty good.1

The armored Li was still holding the textbook in his hand. Of course, this tactic was also taught in the textbook. Find the other party's supply truck and follow! This way, they would be able to obtain greater results, armored soldiers. Relying on his mobility, he must carry out this kind of mission!

How did the Han people come to such a conclusion? Clearly, Han Country had never carried out a large-scale armored war before! Now, he had already treated this teaching material as the most precious thing.

The heavy diesel engines roared, and one tank truck after another advanced in the desert. They did not know that a few kilometers behind them, a group of Tank Force had quietly crept up!
