Chapter 851 Ace Intuition
The fog obscured Lieutenant Pavel's ability to see the specific impact point of the bullet, but judging from the ballistic flight path, it was as if it hit an iron wall and stopped suddenly, instead of dragging a tracer and continuing to fly forward until it disappeared. It depends on the situation
The shot just now should have hit the target accurately.
But the Russian heavy tank that was believed to have been shot was still moving forward. The terrifying steel body that was getting closer and closer was like a prehistoric beast that broke free from its cage and rushed through the thick fog. The muzzle is so intimidating that it almost makes people breathless. Just looking at it from such a distance is enough to make people feel the bone-chilling cold.
Lieutenant Pavel was the first person to react to the stunned anti-tank gun team. He had no time to think about what happened with the shot just now, and he only continued to give orders.
"Reload, reload quickly! Another shot!"
The new anti-tank guns newly supported by the Germans can't penetrate those Russian heavy tanks!
Such an immediate fact made Lieutenant Pavel panic from the bottom of his heart, and he even did not dare to admit this fact directly.
Those German guys swear that this new 75mm anti-tank gun can deal with all Russian tanks. Whether it is KV or T34, it can ensure frontal destruction within normal fighting distance! This is certainly true!
As for the shot just now, it was probably just bad luck and it hit a bad position. That must be the case! Lieutenant Pavel, who was frantically comforting himself in his heart, kept thinking this.
The integrated 75mm full-caliber capped armor-piercing projectile was once again inserted into the barrel of the gun. The gunner responsible for aiming the gun turned the roulette wheel with sweaty and slightly trembling palms and aimed at the target again, which represented a hit. The reticle of the gun scope has been firmly fixed on that hideous and ugly Russian heavy tank.
"Aimed!"
"Fire! Fire quickly!"
boom--
Ding-ding——
call out--
"Ah, son of a bitch! There's no end for these Germans, right?!"
He was hit by two armor-piercing bullets in less than ten seconds. Lavrinenko, who was still angry after entering the battlefield, immediately breathed sweet fragrance and expressed condolences to the German's mother. However, the troops defending on the opposite position were not actually It's not just the Germans.
The 75 mm armor-piercing projectile that ricocheted directly from the upper edge of the semi-curved gun shield instantly penetrated the sky, leaving a silvery-white ballistic trace that disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only the gun shield of Lavrinenko's vehicle was visible. The shallow scratches on the half edge prove that this armor-piercing bullet has been there.
This time, Lieutenant Pavel, who had his glasses widened the whole time, clearly saw the entire process of the armor-piercing bullet being bounced away instantly. The 75mm anti-tank gun that the Germans boasted as an invincible existence actually failed to attack again!
"Damn it, damn it! Damn it! This is a monster. The Russian tank has been a monster from hell from beginning to end!"
The horrified gunner, whose voice was trembling so much that he couldn't even speak clearly, was saying "refined and easy-going". Lieutenant Pavel, who had no time to pay attention to the terrible curses, continued to work hard and still refused to give up. Even the powerful anti-tank T34 can kill with one shot. There's no reason why the cannon can't penetrate those Russian heavy tanks!
In Lieutenant Pavel's mind, the T34 medium tank, which runs fast, has good armor, and has very good firepower, is already the strongest. (audience)
As long as you can deal with those T34s, you can definitely deal with all Russian tanks!
"Come again! Reload, shoot again! Hurry!"
Lieutenant Pavel, who was under tremendous pressure, still could not accept the fact that those Russian heavy tanks were invincible, or in other words, he rejected this fact from the bottom of his heart and was unwilling to understand and accept it, because this cruel fact was placed on the current life-and-death battlefield. Most likely it means death.
The anti-tank gun, which had been loaded as quickly as possible, aimed its black muzzle at the target for the third time, and the final firing moment was once again imminent.
But at this moment, Lavrinenko, who was severely obscured by fog and had a very limited field of vision, shook the commander's periscope with his hand and could hardly see anything of value. The sound of the two consecutive cannons came from the same direction. Lavrinenko was very clear about this, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the damn target where the muzzle smoke should be left.
"Damn it! Where did this Po Wu come from! Damn it!"
Ding-ding——
call out--
Lavrinenko, who was holding the commander's periscope, finally saw with his own eyes the orange-red muzzle flash that flashed away in the confusing fog at the same time as the impact of the armor-piercing projectile was heard.
"Vatukov, at 10 o'clock, the German anti-tank gun! If you see it, just fire and kill it!"
"Ponomarenko, stop the car!"
Logically speaking, Lavrinenko should not have immediately ordered the car to stop and kill the anti-tank gun that had fired three times.
Although all three artillery shells failed to penetrate the armor and were safe and sound, it should not be a big threat. However, veterans who have survived on the battlefield always have an intuition derived from instinct. Your senses will also become particularly keen.
Lavrinenko, who successfully escaped death in 1941 under the wings of Malashenko's little butterfly, is one of such people.
That anti-tank gun must not be the 88mm gun that poses the greatest threat! At the moment when the fire from the muzzle of the opposite gun jumped and flashed, Lavrinenko felt the impact of the armor of his vehicle being hit almost at the same time and without delay.
Having personally felt the feeling of his vehicle being hit by the 88mm gun, Lavrinenko firmly believed that the flying speed of this shell was much faster than the armor-piercing shell fired by the 88mm gun. The difference in the flying speed of the shells directly led to the fact that these were two completely different anti-tank guns.
And the muffled sound of the gun firing, which was like smashing a full bottle of wine, was completely different from the small smashing sound of the 37mm and 50mm anti-tank guns when they fired. In this way, the known German anti-tank guns that have both high muzzle velocity and louder firing decibels, excluding the 88mm gun, only have one type left: the latest long-barreled 75mm anti-tank gun!
This 75mm anti-tank gun with extremely strong armor-piercing ability and almost at the same level as the 88mm gun is a huge threat.
Lavrinenko, who was not sure that he was completely immune to the attack of this terrible opponent at a very close distance, chose a safe way. Firing to kill this troublesome opponent was the best choice at the moment. No one knew whether the good luck of three consecutive times would end on the fourth time.
All hopes were placed on the 40-type tungsten core armor-piercing bullet with a muzzle velocity of 990 meters per second, but the final result was still futile.
Lieutenant Pavel, who was almost on the verge of collapse and sweating, did not expect that it was this 40-type tungsten core armor-piercing bullet that he had high hopes for that indirectly changed the opponent's decision and ruined his life.
When Lieutenant Pavel raised his head again, the 85mm black hole muzzle that broke through the thick fog was already aimed at the target under the straight trajectory at a distance visible to the naked eye.
