In history, the failure of the Nomenkan campaign was related to many factors. Among them, equipment was an important aspect. At that time, the Soviet Union had all kinds of advanced tanks, while Japan still had only ten ton tanks. Although they also called these tanks medium tanks, they were actually western light tanks.

Such tanks, of course, suffer a lot if they want to fight against Soviet tanks.

In this era of history, Japan's main equipment is type 89 and type 97 tanks. Even type 97 tanks are only 15 tons, which can't compete with Soviet tanks at all.

However, in this time and space, the situation has changed greatly.

A few years ago, lieutenant general Koizumi daotaro of the 23rd division visited German tanks. They were amazed at this advanced tank, so they began to order from Germany.

They had planned to order only one sample car. With the design drawings, the German side offered 1 million marks, which is already a very rebellious figure.

However, the islanders paid obediently. The islanders needed Panther tanks.

However, when they brought all the design drawings and sample cars of the Panther tank to the island country, they found that their own technology failed, resulting in low production.

Therefore, they had to continue to ask Germany for help. As a result, they continued to buy 100 Panther tanks at the price of 800000 imperial marks, and all the equipment was given to the Kwantung Army.

At the same time, just this year, their tank manufacturing technology finally passed the test. Taking the German Panther 2 tank as the prototype, they developed their own tank, and adopted a new naming rule, called one type tank.

In fact, this kind of tank is very similar to the four type tank of later generations. On the whole, there is the shadow of Panther tank everywhere. It is simply to take the design of Panther tank directly for use.

Of course, there are also different places. For example, in terms of engine, they improved their existing engine and developed a V-type 12 cylinder air-cooled diesel engine with a maximum power of 412 horsepower, which is enough.

In terms of tank guns, the existing 50mm tank guns in Germany were also considered not powerful enough. They directly purchased the 75mm anti-aircraft guns of boforth company and stuffed them into their own turret.

The performance of this new tank absolutely exceeds that of the Soviet tank. Relying on these advanced weapons, they are full of confidence!

Xierik doesn't care how the islanders fight. In short, xierik knows that the islanders' weapons are more advanced than in history, so they will fight longer than in history!

Hold the Soviets! After the Soviets discovered the threat in the Far East, did the Soviets dare to start war again in the west to rob German territory?

As long as Stalin is not crazy, we should know that we can never find Germany to provoke.

In this way, Germany can safely and boldly enter the West! As long as France is defeated quickly, the Soviet Union should know that it is absolutely wrong to provoke Germany.

Only Germany took the initiative to attack, and the Soviet Union did not dare to take the initiative to attack Germany! What big thunderstorm plan? Let's eat shit.

Moreover, not only in the East, but also in the west, Chirac has found something for the Soviet Union. Finland, now there is more and more friction with the Soviet Union. The island country in the East and Finland in the west, can the Soviet Union spare its hand to find something for Germany?

As long as the Far East War, the Empire will never have any worries!

Xierik finally had no worries. He signed a formal order and waved the sickle, starting tonight!

The order was quickly conveyed to the front line. After receiving the order, the powerful SS Armored Division set out again.

Arden highland is located in the forest platform of southeast Belgium, northern Luxembourg and northeast France. It covers an area of about 10000 square kilometers. It can be seen from the map that it has been a strategic place in Central Europe since ancient times. Because there are many forests here, it is also called Arden forest.

In the forest, it is very difficult for large forces to advance. Infantry is already very difficult, not to mention armored forces!

No one would have thought it would be a fantastic idea to use armored forces to cross the Arden forest.

At the same time, it is also the closest to success!

The plan was put forward by Manstein and formulated by some radical staff officers of Manstein. However, it is still goodrian and the SS armored division who really undertake this task!

The most difficult battles should be handed over to the SS!

In history, goodrian was responsible for crossing the Arden forest area, but at that time, he led the 19th armored army. Now, he led the SS armored division, with unparalleled combat effectiveness.

The first armored division is still at the front of the procession. In front of them is the small country Luxembourg. This tiny country has almost no resistance.

Division commander Joseph Dietrich, sitting on a tank, at this time, his tank troops have completed a new round of reloading.

In fact, the tank is still the original tank, Panther 3 in Yishui, but it has been improved locally. For example, there is a large circular searchlight on the top of the tank turret.

This thing consumes a lot of power. Therefore, the engine of panther 3 tank has also been improved and replaced with a more powerful generator to drive the big "searchlight" above.

Although it is called a searchlight, this thing itself does not emit light, or the light it emits is invisible to the naked eye, because it emits infrared!

Only with a special receiving device can you receive infrared rays. This is the image converter installed in front of the conductor. With this device, you can see everything in front at night.

These devices are the most secret. So far, due to limited production, they have only been equipped to the armored division of the armed SS.

Code night sparrow is a cross era system developed by Germany in order to win the war!

In this era, the aim of tanks is visual. It is impossible to fight tanks at night. The emergence of night sparrows has completely changed all this, which will bring new advantages to Germany!

In the dark night, using this system, you can also see the distance of 600 meters in front. However, if you fight at night, this distance is still too close. Therefore, with the night sparrow system, there is also an owl system.

This is equivalent to a bigger searchlight. If you want to see far, you have to use a bigger flashlight! The owl system is a large searchlight mounted on the chassis of a wheeled infantry combat vehicle. Its power is ten times that of a bicycle and can illuminate a distance of 1500 meters in front.

Therefore, in actual use, several tanks equipped with night sparrows and an owl system can make them easier in combat.

Now, with this system, they can also advance quickly at night, such as now!

"Attention, all division, move forward according to the original plan!" After receiving goodrian's message, Dietrich's voice sounded on the radio. Move on!

Tanks rumble. The diesel engine roars. After a simple warm-up, the infrared headlights on the top turn on.
