Chapter 1114 Hit on the Toilet Head (Plus 4)
At the beginning, Germany still used the old tube radio, which consumes a lot of power, is bulky, and is complicated to operate. Each level of communication needs to switch frequencies, so it also requires a dedicated radio operator. Germany's five The man-made tank squad is the most fully equipped.
Now, with the advancement of electronic technology in Germany, the size of transistor radio stations has been greatly reduced, and the operation is also simple. Although there are still radio operators, the main task of radio operators is to operate machine guns to fight.
At the same time, the commander does not need the radio operator to communicate with the superior, and the commander can directly call the superior in the radio.
The sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile is a special armor-piercing projectile with the latest technology, which was conceived by Cyric and gradually turned into reality by German technicians. This statement is too convoluted, and it is most convenient to call it shelling armor-piercing projectiles.
This kind of armor-piercing projectile is specially used for the most terrifying targets. Ordinary armor-piercing projectiles are more than enough to deal with things like T-34.
"Sub-caliber armor-piercing rounds, reload!" Bowman shouted.
The loader bent down, skillfully stuffed a red-marked armor-piercing projectile into the tank gun, closed the gun door, and shouted loudly, "Filled!"
"Directly ahead, a KV-2, 1,500 meters away, get ready!" Karl Bowman continued to shout.
Beside him, the gunner stepped on the pedal steadily, the heavy turret began to rotate, and finally, he placed the opponent firmly in the center of his optical sight.
"One thousand three hundred meters away."
In this era, there is no such advanced thing as a laser rangefinder. The judgment of the target distance is completely based on the most basic optical laws, and is calculated by the scale inside the optical lens of the sight.
Bowman is a young man, his brain is incomparably flexible, and his calculation is so easy.
The driver in front, Hensley, was concentrating on driving his tank. In this kind of battle, it is very important to get in touch with the enemy quickly, and it is more important to stop at any time.
"One hundred and one meters away, stop and fire!" Bowman shouted loudly.
After receiving the order to stop, Hensley stepped on the brakes, and there was a harsh metallic sound of the brake belt rubbing from the rear, and the heavy Tiger tank stopped abruptly.
The sudden inertia caused the tank's gun barrel to go down a little, and then, the moment it regained stability, the gunner's foot stepped on the trigger.
"boom!"
There was a loud cannon sound, and the entire tank trembled.
The propellant was burning violently, pushing the shell to an initial speed of 1,100 meters per second in less than a second!
The speed at which the shell can reach is related to the weight of the warhead. Under the same kinetic energy, the smaller the mass, the higher the speed.
The tungsten alloy warhead flew out from the muzzle, and when it was out of the chamber, the two halves of the magazine fell from its tail.
This small bullet holder is the most critical device in the entire sub-caliber armor-piercing bullet. It reduces the diameter of the warhead and increases the aspect ratio, which is the most effective way to increase the penetration depth.
The tail of the armor-piercing projectile stretched out its dexterous wings and flew towards the opposite side.
This distance is only one second.
Inside the KV-2 tank, the battalion commander Kurilenko looked at the German tank that was flying over, and his heart was a little nervous.
Those tanks are the latest tanks used by Germany in the last Brest conflict. They are said to be more advanced than the Panther 3 tanks. Can their own 152mm tank guns effectively pose a threat to them?
"Load grenades," he called to his loader.
The KV-2 tank's 152mm gun, which was meant to be contingency, was the Navy's shortened M-10 howitzer.
This gun has only one type of ammunition, which is a 52kg high-explosive ammunition. Although the Navy's Type 1915/28 semi-armor-piercing projectile KV-2 can also be fired, this type of projectile is generally only used by the Soviet Navy and has a small inventory. Due to the size of the shells, the KV-2 tank only carried 36 rounds.
This is simply a fool, to deal with the enemy's armor, use grenades?
The answer is completely feasible. The grenade mainly relies on the explosives in the warhead. As long as the amount of explosives is sufficient, any armor can be blasted. Explosives are also a way to blast armor.
After getting the order, the loader started to move the shells, first stuffed the warheads, and then the propellant. Of course, the 52kg shells were packed separately, otherwise, how could the loader carry all such shells? go in?
This slow movement took about thirty seconds, which is already the fastest speed.
At this time, the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching, and the other side's tank can be clearly seen. In the sights, you can even see the bolts on the other side's tank that fix the additional armor.
The distance of the exchange of fire will soon be close to one thousand meters. When dealing with armored targets, their best distance is no more than five hundred meters. If they are one thousand meters away, they will definitely fly away.
However, Kurilenko was surprised to see that the leading tank on the opposite side actually stopped instantly. Within two seconds of stopping, a black smoke came out of the muzzle, and the other side stopped. Fire!
Germany's most elite tank unit is said to be able to hit the first shot at a distance of 1,000 meters. Originally, Kurilenko thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect the Germans to actually do this.
"Brake!" Kurilenko shouted loudly, and as he shouted, he felt his body start to rush forward involuntarily, hitting the armor in front of him. Although he was wearing a thick tank cap, it was still Feel the pain.
When the opponent is shooting, they can get rid of them through various maneuvers. After all, tanks are not as flexible as planes, and when the power is limited, braking is the best choice.
If it is a low-profile T-34 tank, this trick might really work, but unfortunately, they are driving a toilet-headed KV-2 tank!
The main purpose of the brakes is to let the opponent's shells hit the open space in front of the opponent. After all, the opponent must arrange the advance amount according to the speed of the two parties. However, because the head of the KV-2 is too large, the opponent is aiming at its large size. Head, now he braked suddenly, and it only shifted the opponent's trajectory a little bit.
It was supposed to hit the middle of the toilet head, where the gun mantlet was, but now, this armor-piercing bullet hit the bottom of the toilet head!
This is a flat piece with a thickness of 110mm, and now the armor-piercing bullet comes at an angle, and it needs to pass through 120mm thick.
For a thin-rod tungsten alloy warhead, such a thickness is like a knife to kill a chicken.
