Before starting the main text, according to the old rules, some readers of the previous article "I heard that Wanwan is going to buy a new tank, let's "Diandian" first" will leave a message to reply:
M41 was developed as the successor of the M24, and unfortunately caught up with the Korean War during the development process; this light tank with congenital malnutrition was driven to the shelves and sent to the front line, and its performance disappointed the US military. The US military quickly listed it as an elimination target, put the retired M41 on the shelves with an "old cucumber painted green" and placed it on the shelves.
Kaishen Logistics has been receiving second-hand M41s since 1958, and the number of this batch of M41s is greatly exceeded 700. The 50 M41Ds that have been in service have been pieced together from these 700 vehicles, and of course, they also contain some second-hand or even third-hand accessories collected from other countries.
This car is now the Chinese-type eight-level gold-coin light tank in the game " World of Tanks ". The one who replaced the 90mm cannon is the German-type eight-level gold-coin light tank M41/90 (leKpz M 41 90 mm GF).
M41/90 In addition, its gun is not a 90mm gun, but its own copycat M32K1 76mm gun.
M41D has been replied to in the previous paragraph. Here I will add M48/Yonghu.
"Yonghu" originated from the American M48 and M60 " Patton " (both of which are called Patton) tanks. The M48 was developed as a replacement vehicle for World War II tanks; but the Americans soon discovered that compared with the five pairs of wheels on the opposite side, this car is a scumbag. The M48 equipped with a 90mm gun saw the T-54/55 on the opposite side and could basically walk around, not to mention the T-62 equipped with a 115mm smoothbore gun.
Faced with the five pairs of wheels of the bear, the only two Americans and Germans in the NATO Army who could fight quickly tinker with their new toys: the Germans took out the Leopard One, and the Americans took out the M60 upgraded based on the M48.
After the two of them had new toys, they began to sell their M48s all over the world. Of course, these used car buyers bought upgraded products - mainly replaced with 105mm rifled guns, and then made some personalized improvements according to the buyers' needs (infrared headlights, command towers, machine gun towers, and some rich people also upgraded fire control and engines in addition to these).
Kaishen Logistics' M48 was introduced in 1973 after the M48 was discontinued (1959). All of them were retired vehicles of the US military. This batch of cars was mass-produced in the early model of M48A1 in 1953. After replacing this batch of cars with a diesel engine in the 1980s, it claimed that it could be comparable to the US-massed M48A3 in 1963. This is of course nonsense: the fire control of the M48A3 has been improved, and the power pack is made of the same original model as the M60. There are two models of
Yonghu, called CM-11 (M48H) and CM-12.
CM-11 was born in 1990. This car is an OEM modified vehicle of Kaishen Logistics. The specific modification was American, so he has an American number M48H (H=Hybrid, hybrid). This OEM modified car is a combination of the second-hand M60A3 chassis (discontinued in 1987) and the second-hand M48A5P1 turret. Although the
M48A5 is called A5, it is not a new car that was originally launched: the M48A5 is an early model M48 upgraded by the United States in the 1970s, and this car is only available in the National Guard, and there is no such junk in the regular army. The difference between the M48A5P1 turret and the M48A5 turret is that it has replaced a machine gun turret.
CM-12 was born a little later than CM-11, and this car is not as good as the OEM product above.
There are two reasons. One is the performance of this car: the CM-12 chassis was selected from the chassis of the early second-hand model M48 that was about to be scrapped in 1979, and then replaced with a second-hand M48A5 turret; the cannon was a counterfeit M68A1 105 rifled gun. It is said that when the was changed to the car, it was changed over and over, but in the end, some performance indicators were changed not as good as the M48 in the 1950s.
Another reason is the modification process: just like this car, it almost broke the Kaishen used car modification workshop, and it was impossible to copy the car according to the drawings from more than ten years ago (it was easy to take the open paper exam? Naive)! In the end, we have to spend money to import the second-hand M48A5, just like this CM-12, each of which costs millions of dollars in modification.
three-no modified vehicle series 1: M10 Wolverine tank destroyer
M10 Wolverine tank destroyer and its improved M36 Jackson tank destroyer are both typical World War II American tank destroyer: excellent artillery, strong maneuverability but extremely poor protection ability. The prototype of the M10 is said to refer to the famous T-34 tank of the Mao Xiong family, but the Americans' use of the ideology does not seem to work this time: compared with the T-34, the US military's M10 has many problems.
Although the M10 is equipped with a more powerful M1918 76.2mm (3-inch) gun than the initial M4, this gun has a serious "inconvenience" on the M10: after installing it, it is found that this thing needs additional counterweights (design defects) to rebalance the body, and the turret is driven by hand, so it takes about two minutes to turn it around, making it difficult to operate.
The most tricky thing is that this thing is actually a convertible, without even a roof; let alone professional anti-tank weapons such as Iron Fist and Chariot Nightmare, throwing a grenade in can directly reimburse it with people and cars.
M10 performed well in the North African battlefield, but in the later stage, he entered the European battlefield to face the "head of the zoo"; the position of M10 was a bit embarrassing: facing the German tiger, leopard, jackal, or even the German tiger, leopard, or the black panther front armor, it is very likely that he can't get rid of it.

M36 uses the same Sherman Tank chassis as M10, but unlike M10, the main gun of the M36 is the new T7 90mm tank gun, and a new turret was redesigned to address the problem of the M10 turret (the initial model of M36 directly used the chassis of the M10A1 in production); but the protection is still the same as that of the M10. The turret still has no top cover, and a folding cover that can only be used as psychological comfort was added after the war. After
M36 arrived at the front line, the US military replaced the tank destroyer battalion equipped with the M10 in battalion one after another, and the European battlefield war was basically replaced after the end of the European battlefield. However, the M36 was eliminated immediately after the war. After all, it can do the work , Pershing tank, and the protection of Pershing tank is much better than this paper thing.
"Chengling Park" M36
At that time, Kaishen Logistics, which was preparing to transform and develop second-hand car renovation and modification business, quickly set its sights on these two World War II famous cars. I don’t know if the People’s Liberation Army has opened the secrets. In addition to completing the job of collecting scraps (the previous article mentioned that he towed away a large number of scrapped Situ Yat from the scrapped parking lot of the US military), he also actively carried out new business and started arms smuggling - creating a batch of scrapped M10 in the name of “non-military surplus materials.” There are a total of 34 scrapped M10s that cost a lot of money, but these wolverines were all pulled out of their teeth and claws - the cannons cannot be fired!
A group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals under Mr. Jiang Er had no choice but to take tools to cover their noses and go to the waste warehouse and garbage dump to dig. After digging, they actually dig out a museum-level thing - the Japanese Type 91 105mm field cannon.
91 105mm field gun was a French Schneider 1913 105mm field gun (Canon de 105 ml 1913 Schneider, not the M1943 mentioned in some articles). This gun was made by the French based on the Russians' 107mm artillery in the early 2000s before World War I.
After the First World War, the French built up a large number of artillery stocks in their hands and sold them all over the world. A batch of artillery was transferred to the Japanese. The Japanese tried it and found it was not bad, so they copied a lot of defective products and used them themselves. After Japan surrendered, these cannons were successively in the inventory in the Kaishen logistics warehouse and the collections in the military blog.
This Type 91 105 field artillery collected by the Military Expo originally belonged to a certain artillery company of the Northeast People's Liberation Army. This "meanor cannon" that made great contributions in the battle of Liberation Siping later entered the pass with his troops and was also reviewed at the founding ceremony.
car also has accessories, and the three-no modification workshop can finally start construction. After the "Nanjing 60 Arsenal" of old cucumber green paint knocking and renovating, the "brand-new" second-hand three-no modification vehicle: M10-105 self-propelled artillery is freshly released!
seems to be, is it changed well?

The car can indeed drive on the highway, but this cannon... Specifically: the protection is paper-based, the turret is difficult to rotate, the personnel are difficult to enter and exit, and the sights are very difficult to serve. Moreover, because of the problem with the cannon itself, even if the shell is aimed at, it may not fly towards the target, so you can only hear a sound. In the mid-to-late 1950s, all of these cars were retired due to the arrival of second-hand M7 cleric howitzers. Most of them were dismantled and a fake gun was installed and became exhibits.
Although this batch of cars was finally buried in the long river of history, with the rise of the world of tanks, the information of this car was dug out from the old paper pile and once became a popular candidate for the C-Series self-propelled artillery line. However, this C-type self-propelled artillery line has not yet been visible...
This camouflage M10-105 is not used.
. I don’t know why it was painted like this.
0. Kaishen Logistics has also rewelled a batch of M36s. This batch of M36 belongs to Lu Bu—this is not even a second-hand car, it is a third-hand car. Originally, the United States provided aid to France, but later I wondered what happened that several vehicles were asked to get back to Kaishen Logistics. Although it is a third-hand car, the guns of this batch of M36 are good and can be fired. All of these M36s have been deployed in Kinmen and have also participated in the Kinmen artillery battle. Later, as the accessories were lacking, the batch of M36s did not jump for long, and they were unable to move.
For this batch of worn M36, Kaishen used car modification workshop, which was helpless, finally thought of a very unique way to deal with it: pull it into the bunker and use it as a fixed firepower point! Not to mention that this method is really useful, there are still two cars that have been used until the beginning of this century!
Three-No Modified Vehicle Series 2: Type 64 Light Warrior
Compared with the M10-105, which has not registered in the World of Tanks until now, this car is a well-known World of Tanks 6 gold coin car (light tank). But this car is actually a second-hand car body + second-hand accessories DIY. If you dare to go on the road now, you will definitely be detained by the traffic police and the car.
The turret of this car is from the M18 Hellcat, and the chassis is from the M42 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (the same as M41 tank); the M18 Hellcat was developed as the replacement of the M10 Wolverine. Its biggest advantage is not its artillery but its speed - this car runs very fast and is said to be able to reach 90 kilometers per hour on the road!
Hellcat's tactics are very interesting: unlike German tank destroyers hiding from grass and fighting black guns, Hellcats fight in groups and fight in groups; when they encounter the "head of the zoo", the basic combat routine is "eat him for a round, and rush up while he loads up"; using the advantages of mobility to engage in side attacks and sneak attacks, let alone this tactic is very effective, and a large number of American versions of "tiger-beating heroes" were born.
Kaishen Logistics was trying to find hundreds of second-hand Hellcats when he was shopping for used cars. The performance of these used cars is indeed good and has received a lot of praise; Kaishen used car modification workshop has also tried every means to extend the life of this batch of cars until all Hellcat chassis are completely reimbursed.The chassis of
was reimbursed, but the cannon could still be heard; in 1975, the remaining turrets of more than 50 scrapped Hellcats were removed and installed on the chassis of the second-hand M42 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. After a cucumber-painted green paint-style knocking, scrapped car parts and used car chassis have become a "independently developed" new light tank.
However, this so-called new type of vehicle became a scrapped vehicle after less than six years of use. By the end of 1981, the last batch of assembled vehicles, , died in Penghu and was demolished. However, it is worth mentioning that this three-no assembly vehicle actually went to the world of tanks to settle down and became a C-Series six-level gold coin car.
This batch of three-no assembly vehicles now has a retained
