Chapter 2223: The Leopard's Death Continues

It is undoubtedly a terrible thing for a tank to be paralyzed and lose mobility on the battlefield. Google Search Reading

To put it in specific terms, this is no different from an infantryman being shot in the thigh by a sniper and falling on the battlefield crying for help. The direct result of being unable to move and losing mobility on the battlefield is to become a living target. The probability of survival can be said to be negligible, and dying on the battlefield is reasonable and not unexpected, and the same is true for tanks.

The difference is that an infantryman has one life, while a tank has the lives of all the people in the vehicle.

Although it is a good thing to be covered by the indirect artillery barrage outside the field of vision instead of the direct artillery fire within the field of vision, it means that even if it loses mobility, it will not be killed by targeted concentrated fire.

But a tank that has lost mobility can no longer move to the edge of the barrage coverage where the artillery fire is relatively sparse, which is always an obvious fact. Standing still in the central area covered by artillery fire indirectly means that the mortality rate has soared greatly.

A 132mm Katyusha rocket flew from nowhere, and just happened to hit the precious and rare paralyzed Panther G in the sea of ​​bullets and fire. After a sharp whistle, it hit the connection between the turret root and the body of the Panther G with a standard parabolic trajectory.

The most criticized thing about the entire Panther series by the German army is its fragile protection performance, and this so-called "fragility" is concentrated in the weak protection area common to all types of tanks, that is, the dome armor and the side and rear armor.

So needless to say, as the last sub-model of the Panther series, the fragile dome armor protection of the Panther G, which is the last sub-model of the Panther series, is impossible to withstand this thundering blow in front of the Katyusha rocket with a diameter of up to 132 mm and a charge more powerful than the 122 high-explosive grenade.

Boom——

Crack——

Crack——

The flames of the explosion spread from the base of the Black Panther G's neck, instantly breaking through the fragile armor of the Black Panther G and tearing open a shocking and hideous wound.

This chemical energy explosion impact, which was almost a zero-distance explosion, directly broke the armor defense of the Black Panther G in the most violent way, and in the next moment, the blazing flame chemical energy, overpressure shock, and hot projectile fragments were all poured into the car along the armor gap that was blown open.

The final result was that this unfortunate Black Panther G was killed again after losing its ability to move.

The mechanic and driver at the front of the vehicle were crushed to dust and blasted into minced meat. The explosion from directly above their heads sent the two German armored soldiers to "painless salvation" on the spot. In a split second, they couldn't even blink, and even a piece of meat was hard to find.

It wasn't enough to kill two people on the spot. The violent chemical energy impact of the almost zero-distance face-to-face explosion was certainly more powerful than this.

The front-end cockpit of the Panther was directly connected to the middle combat compartment of the vehicle without any armored partitions to separate and protect it. The impact flames, like the explosion of a fire dragon, immediately swept to the middle combat compartment of the vehicle and continued to wreak havoc.

Needless to say, using flesh and blood to fight against chemical energy explosions will definitely not end well, and this time is no exception.

The three German armored soldiers, one loader, one gunner, and one commander, didn't even have time to react before they were engulfed by the flames and fire before they felt fear and pain.

What was devoured along with it was not only the flesh and blood, but also the cold 75mm armor-piercing shells and high-explosive shells, as well as the gasoline tanks on both sides of the vehicle.

It was not known whether the oil or the ammunition was ignited and detonated first. In short, the strong explosion that followed was indeed earth-shaking and powerful, and even forcibly overwhelmed the power of a 152mm high-explosive grenade that exploded next to it, making it pale in comparison.

The Panther G's small-headed turret, with its vertical gun shield chin as its iconic feature, took off directly on the spot and became the "German Lufthansa". In the standard combat state with the canopy fully closed, because there was no place to relieve pressure, it could not withstand the violent chemical energy impact bursting from the inside out of the vehicle body, and it immediately sprayed fire and the turret was lifted up to a height of more than ten meters like a rocket.

Even in the purgatory battlefield with flying gunfire and explosions, a tank turret with a large size and a fishing rod main gun was directly lifted up to a height of more than ten meters in one breath, and took off on the spot to ride a rocket. Such a scene can still attract enough attention and attract people's attention.

The reason is that it is really "too spectacular".

Imagine that if the manhole cover in your community was instantly flown to a height of more than ten meters due to a biogas explosion, you would also shout "Fuck!" on the spot to express your shock and then watch it, such as Malashenko who witnessed this spectacular scene on the battlefield.

"These **, they are flying really high"

"I bet that the butts of the Nazis in the car are all flying in the sky, but it's a pity that there is no hook in the sky, otherwise the fascists' butts can be hung in the sky, haha ​​...

Malachenko only saw the Panther G flying head-on through his low-magnification wide-angle commander's periscope, while Iushkin, who had a high-magnification narrow-angle gunner's scope, saw the whole process of the unfortunate Panther G from being hit to rocket-like flying head-on clearly and in full view, and enjoyed the most brilliant and dazzling fireworks display.

Of course, with Iushkin's "sinister mouth and black heart", it is natural to ridicule the five "bloody and weak, flying with the car" German armored soldiers again, as a "death prayer".

Although there are not too many scenes like this, they are by no means isolated.

Some of the German tanks were paralyzed and lost their mobility and were covered and blown up by subsequent artillery fire. Another part was those that were caught off guard and hurriedly fled after being bombarded. As a result, they had a battlefield car accident because they were too panicked and did not choose the way to go, and collided with other self-tanks that were also fleeing around, and both stopped and paralyzed.

It may sound stupid, but this is indeed what happened.

There was no infantry outside the vehicle to guide, the vision inside the vehicle was limited, and the sudden incident made people impatient and prone to mistakes. These can all be considered as one of the reasons.

But if you want to talk about the main reason, if the three German armored soldiers in 1944 were not bad to a certain extent, they really couldn't do such a bad job. Being scared by a bombing on the battlefield and causing a car accident and crashing into each other, what else is it if not obviously making a fool of the enemy?

The Germans can be bad, but this is not a reason for Malashenko to pity them. The destruction they deserve will still hit the Germans on the top of their heads with all their strength, and their brains will burst.

Soon, Malashenko, holding the radio transmitter, issued the first tactical order as soon as he met the enemy and joined the battle.
