The T-34 tank is also called the T-34/76 because it is equipped with a 76.2mm caliber cannon.

The tank weighs 26.3 tons in total.

There are 4 passengers, the engine is a B-2 diesel engine, with a power of 500 horsepower, a maximum road speed of 55 kilometers per hour, and a maximum travel of 300 kilometers.

Moreover, the overall performance of the T-34 tank is very good, with good protection and off-road maneuverability, and its artillery power is relatively high. Its combat performance was at the world's advanced level at that time.

More importantly, its structure is simple, mechanically reliable, and easy to manufacture and repair during war damage, which is very necessary during wartime.

In later generations, T-34/85, which can be equipped with 85mm cannons, was also derived.

The T-34/85 tank can be seen even on other battlefields in later generations.

Therefore, the T-34 tank can be said to be a killer weapon in the hands of the big brother of this era.

Although Germany also made corresponding artillery in order to deal with this tank on the European battlefield, it was Germany after all. It is probably very difficult for the Japanese to destroy this tank at present.

Therefore, this deal is quite cost-effective for Li Yunlong.

Moreover, Li Yunlong also knew that since the Battle of Frost City, the Japanese must have ended and knew that they could not use infantry power to confront Li Yunlong head-on.

Once troops are really needed, tanks and aviation troops will definitely be used as the basis.

When facing the Japanese tank troops, the infantry in Li Yunlong often had to sacrifice multiple soldiers to blow up a tank. This price ratio has always been Li Yunlong's heart disease.

During the Battle of Frost City, the only six Douding tanks he had were basically on the verge of scrapping.

If the Japanese lose this hand, once the Japanese attack again, Li Yunlong will easily fall into a passive position, which is one of the reasons why he wants to urgently increase the firepower of the troops.

Now with the drawings of the T-34 tank, as long as they build a batch as quickly as possible and face the Japanese tank troops, they will have the bargaining chips to confront each other head-on, and more importantly, they can play a deterrent role.

When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, China did not resist, but could not resist.

In addition to the corruption of the Qing government, the bigger reason was that the weapons and equipment were not as good as them, and they could only be beaten passively.

This is also the reason why the Japanese were able to run rampant in China and in the Northeast.

The reason why the Chinese infantry kept losing battles on the battlefield was that the Japanese had much better weapons and equipment than ours.

Moreover, the Japanese are very smart. As long as the situation on the battlefield is not right, they will send tanks and bombers to support them, which will change the situation.

However, most of the Japanese tanks are mainly doding tanks.

But the biggest flaw of the Douding tank is that it has poor defense performance. If the firepower is concentrated, the machine gun can directly penetrate it.

But this is just ideal, how can there be such a long time on the battlefield?

Therefore, the best way to deal with tanks is to use anti-tank guns or airplane cannons to bomb, but the better is to use tanks to deal with tanks.

In this regard, the T-34 must crush the Japanese Douding tank in terms of performance and solidity.

That afternoon, after the people from the arsenal sent the drawings, Li Yunlong took the drawings and entered his room without hesitation. Until the evening, Li Yunlong did not come out.

"Hello political commissar!" Tan Hai, who was guarding the door, immediately saluted and greeted Zhao Gang when he saw him coming.

Zhao Gang nodded symbolically: "Where is Captain Li? I haven't seen anyone since the afternoon and I haven't woken up yet?"

Tan Hai shook his head: "The leader locked himself in the house and didn't even eat supper."

"Isn't this a mess? No matter how busy you are, you can't stop eating!"

After saying that, Zhao Gang was about to push the door into the house, but was stopped by Tan Hai.

"What? You stop me?"

Tan Hai said with some embarrassment: "The political commissar, the leader said that no one can enter without his permission."

"In the afternoon, reporter Feng came and he didn't even see him."

"Feng Nan is not there? He is itchy!" Zhao Gang said with his hips on his hips, "What are he doing inside?"

Tan Hai shook his head: "This leader didn't say anything!"

"But I guess I should be studying something."

"After meeting Director Gao in the morning, the team leader became a little abnormal. He kept saying something like this is a good deal, a rifle is replaced with a tank, or something like that."

"In the afternoon, Director Gao sent someone to send a drawing, and then he locked himself in the house until now."

"Tank?" Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Old Li is probably going to produce our own tank!"

Zhao Gang smiled slightly, then shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, I know everything. Just as the leader said, no one is allowed to go in."

"By the way, you can tell the kitchen team later and let them get some food to keep warm. When the leader comes out, you will deliver it to the leader!"

"Yes!" Tan Hai nodded in response.

At this moment, the door opened and Li Yunlong walked out of the room with an excited look on his face.

"You finally can't bear to come out? Those who don't know thought something happened to you inside, so I almost asked someone to smash the door."

Zhao Gang joked with a smile.

Li Yunlong smiled and turned to look at Tan Hai: "Go, get some food for me, I want to discuss work with the political commissar!"

Tan Hai knew that Li Yunlong wanted to help him and talk to Zhao Gang about work, so he turned around and left with tactfulness.

"What? Have you developed the tank?" Zhao Gang asked with a smile.

Li Yunlong nodded: "I have thoroughly studied it!"

"I have to say that the tank drawings sent by Director Gao do have that little thing, if we can make them out."

"If there are so many, if we can form a tank battalion, the Kwantung Army will basically have no way to do anything to us."

Zhao Gang was stunned: "After working on it for a long time, you just understood the tank? I thought you modified the tank?"

In fact, Li Yunlong did think about doing this. If he could upgrade the T34 to the T90, even the German 88 air defense cannon in his hand might not be able to use this tank?

But the same thing is said, the materials are a big problem. Although he does have some money in his hands, he cannot use them all to make tanks.

After all, war is not a world war, and they need money in every aspect.

"Old Zhao, you respect me too highly. Let's just be an infantry commander. With such profound knowledge as tanks, we have to continue to learn."

Zhao Gang laughed: "Then when do you plan to start producing this tank?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I have told Director Gao that I will start production immediately. At least I want to make a sample!"

Zhao Gang nodded: "I think it's OK!"

"I'll arrange the issue of personnel dispatch. It's time for you to think about other things recently."

Li Yunlong nodded, then hummed a small song and walked towards the kitchen squad.

At the same time, an airplane from the island country is about to arrive in Changchun, northeast China. The people on it narrowed their eyes slightly, and their eyes were filled with complex emotions!
