Chapter 1257 Blocked by Five Anti-Tank Guns
A head-to-head battle has begun.
Stalin tanks are also divided into many models. The original models, Stalin-1 and Stalin-2, look like enlarged T-34s, and the turrets are also very similar. Until Stalin-3, they began to have A big change, the turret became a round tortoise shell. Since then, the protection has improved by leaps and bounds, and it has almost become a standardized turret style until later generations until the T-90.
The current Stalin tank spans Stalin-1 and Stalin-2, almost directly starting from Stalin-3. Under the stimulation of T-34, in the shadow of the failure of KV tanks, Ketin still took it out. Here comes the real thing.
It is only because of the defects of the power system that although the bulletproof shape of this tank is good, the overall weight is only 46 tons, far from the 60 tons of the later Stalin-4.
Stalin-4 is the product of quick success. The power of the diesel engine can't keep up, which makes the tank's maneuverability very poor. At the same time, the transmission system is unreliable and often fails. Coupled with the most terrible rollover king, it is possible to turn the turret 30 degrees. Overturned, and only a few hundred were produced.
However, the 250 mm thick armor on the front of the Stalin-4 turret is definitely a miracle, and the current Stalin tank, the front turret thickness is only 160 mm, which is still a good spherical effect.
In the past, it could withstand the blow of the Tiger tank's 88mm gun, not because it was thick enough, but because of the terrible ricochet, but now, the tungsten alloy core has not been ejected, it has been drilled in !
The tungsten alloy warhead is rapidly drilling inward, melting the surrounding armored steel to form a small hole. At the same time, its speed is getting slower and slower, even when its storage speed is less than one-third One time, the front has been drilled through.
With a speed of several hundred meters per second, with the surrounding melted heat, and with a fierce murderous aura, the warhead drilled into the turret.
The thickness of 160 mm, converted into German armor steel, is at most 130 mm. In the cast turret, there are countless air bubbles, and now, the 75 mm shelling armor-piercing projectile will not waste too much effort, as long as it is If you can hit it, you will definitely be able to penetrate it without being bounced!
The warhead penetrated in and flew in the small turret. First, it hit the body of the most unlucky commander. The body of the commander was instantly penetrated by the hot armor-piercing projectile. With countless splashes of flesh and blood, the warhead continued to penetrate backwards, hit the back of the turret, then bounced back and plunged into the gunner's body again.
The entire turret was full of flesh and blood, but luckily, this armor-piercing projectile did not detonate the tank.
Yes, the tank is still there, it has not been destroyed.
Different types of ammunition have different killing mechanisms. Armor-piercing projectiles rely on metal jets, and armor-piercing projectiles rely on hard hitting. If it is an armor-piercing projectile for naval guns, the interior is charged, while armor-piercing projectiles for tanks have only hard metal rods. Can't directly produce explosion effect.
Most tanks, after being hit by armor-piercing projectiles, fly with heat flow, and can always hit the ammunition, hit the engine, and detonate the internal explosion of the tank.
Of course, there are also unexpected situations, such as now.
The tank was accurately hit, and the three people inside the turret had all become mashed meat, but the tank still existed.
This made the opposing anti-tank artillery quite depressed, and Locke thought he missed a hit.
At this time, the second armor-piercing bullet had just been loaded, and he wanted to send another round to the tank, but he saw the target tank stop, and the driver in front crawled out of it covered in blood. .
The tank was hit, and the flesh and blood of the people behind splashed onto the driver in front. The driver was full of fear. He thought that his tank was about to explode in the next moment, so he quickly opened the hatch and climbed out.
His battle is over, even if he continues to drive forward and there is no one behind him, it is impossible for him to continue fighting in a tank, at most it is just pretending.
"Boom!" The second armor-piercing projectile flew towards a Stalin tank on its right again. This time, it missed a hit, and the tank was still advancing.
"Quick, keep shooting!" Locke shouted loudly from the gun emplacement.
All kinds of German artillery have a very high rate of fire. The current 75mm anti-tank gun has a rate of fire of up to 14 rounds per minute, which can be completed in almost five seconds. If the opponent is scattered, It takes some time to aim at the target, but now, the Soviet tanks are quite densely arranged. In this case, the well-trained anti-tank gunners give full play to the advantages of the artillery, which is almost every five seconds.
This almost drove the Soviet tank troops mad.
Near him, there are also four 75mm anti-tank guns. An anti-tank gun company composed of these five anti-tank guns actually stopped the attack of their hundreds of tanks!
This is simply unbelievable.
Their first few shells were all fired at the Stalin tanks. The five artillery pieces each fired about four shells, destroying eight Stalin tanks.
How much time did they take? Less than twenty seconds!
How far can a tank force advance in twenty seconds? Only 100 meters, 100 meters away!
What's more maddening than this?
From a distance of 1,500 meters, they rushed to 1,400 meters, and their eight Stalin tanks were abolished, and on the opposite side, no German tank troops appeared, just a few infantry guns.
Now, they can't fight back. Their tank guns can't shoot accurately at a distance of more than a thousand meters. Now if they want to shoot, they have to stop. This will make their impact even slower. Minutes, there will be a lot of danger.
Kristof, the commander of the tank unit, was a little cold. He thought that the Stalin tank was strong enough, and he took Lieutenant General Muzichenko to break through first, but the Stalin tank was reimbursed!
He was not in the Stalin tank, but on a T-34 tank. After all, the spherical turret of the Stalin tank made the interior space quite small, and there was no way to arrange more than two radios needed to command the tank.
Now that all the Stalin tanks have been killed, Christoph has realized that it is not good, but unfortunately he has no other way. As long as he starts to charge, there is only one option left: "Charge, even if there is one tank left, Also rush over and open a gap for our infantry!"
They charged with the determination to die, and such troops were the most effective.
