Chapter 1302 Faster than Anyone

The moment the shell flew out of the muzzle, two original shells fell, the wings of the tail stretched, and the speed of the warhead began to drop.

From the outside, the 75mm secondary gun is very small. Compared with the 128mm cannon, it is like a matchstick. Moreover, its multi-diameter is also smaller than the 75mm gun equipped on the Black Panther 2. For a short period of time, in this way, the only way to improve its performance is to use new types of ammunition.

Although the guns are somewhat different, the ammunition is universal. Now the 75mm armor-piercing projectiles on the rat tanks are almost all this sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles.

This is also the reason why the gunners of the rat tank would rather use a 128mm gun than a 75mm gun, because the cost of this armor-piercing projectile is almost twice the cost of the 128mm blunt armor-piercing projectile.

In the air, the tungsten alloy core reduces its speed while flying. At the same time, its flight speed is hardly affected at all. In this second, the opposite tank did not make any maneuvers at all.

In the mobile combat of tanks, sudden braking is a method that is often used. Experienced shooters will design the advance amount. If the tank brakes suddenly, the shells will fly from the front.

However, in the opposite process, if you stop, you can only rely on rapid acceleration. Before the opponent's shells arrive, you can avoid the opponent's blow by walking out at least half of the commander.

This is also in later generations, the performance of tanks with 1200, 1500 horsepower diesel engines and advanced hydraulic gearboxes is always available. In this era, no tank can do it, even the German Panther 3 Not even tanks.

Now, this Stalin tank has stopped, and it did not expect the Germans to attack so quickly!

If the Rat tank still uses the main gun to fight back, it will take time to reload, and it is absolutely impossible to fire after one second, and now, this tank, which has just stopped, was hit by the second 75mm armor-piercing projectile for intimate contact.

The round turret has a good shape to avoid bullets. After the 75mm armor-piercing bullet hit the turret, there was no ricochet, and a small hole was firmly pierced and began to drill inward.

Compared with the previous armor-piercing projectile, the biggest advantage of this sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile is that the opening to be opened is very small, its diameter is small, the hole to be worn is small, and it will lose less energy.

Anyway, it does not directly kill the enemy by the impact of the warhead, and the quality of the warhead is not much different.

The Soviets are very proud of the Stalin tank. In previous battles, it even withstood the blow of the 88mm Tiger tank shell, but now, a 75mm armor-piercing bullet like a steel needle is still given to it. Break down.

When the armor-piercing projectile drilled into the interior of the turret, it bounced back and forth three or four times, stirring the inside of the turret into a bloody mess, but fortunately, it did not explode.

The front hatch was opened, and only the driver limped out from the inside, one of his feet was chipped off, and he thought the tank was about to explode and rolled down.

Kill one again, and now, there are three tanks left!

Just as Hans opened fire on the tank, the commander Kurt was already observing the other three, and the closest one was already close to 200 meters, a dangerous distance!

"Turn fifteen degrees to the right, Stalin tank, two hundred meters away, fire!" Kurt shouted loudly.

For mature tanks, at least three crew members are required in the turret.

The commander is responsible for observing the surrounding situation and directing the target to the gunner. The gunner is responsible for quickly operating the tank gun to aim and shoot, and the loader is responsible for loading the ammunition. The three people work together to maximize efficiency.

The Rat tank has two loaders due to its ample internal space and heavy shells.

At this point, the No. 1 loader loaded the 128mm gun, and the No. 2 loader loaded the 75mm gun. Everything was in order. Just as Hans turned the turret, the 75mm tank gun was loaded again. , 128mm shells are still being loaded semi-automatically.

At a distance of 200 meters, even if you don't need sights, you can directly rely on experience. German tankers are, and Soviet tankers are even more so.

When it was found that the mouse tank could not be penetrated at a distance of 300 meters, the Soviet tank soldiers risked their lives to approach the distance of 200 meters, just as the German tank turret turned around and was about to fire at him. Only then did the bold commander give the order to fire.

They only have one chance.

Yes, it is an opportunity. In the battle just now, the German tanks showed strong performance, that is, the reloading speed is too fast, the split-type 122mm tank guns are too slow to reload the shells, and they have no second place at all. Second chance, only one hit!

"Fire!" On the Stalin tank, following the command of the commander, a fireball from the tank's muzzle flew out with black smoke, and the entire tank shook with it.

This distance was terrifying, and they didn't have time to reload, so, right after firing, the Stalin tank didn't retreat. Instead, the tanker drove the tank and continued to rumble forward.

Run backwards, but you can't run past the opponent's shells, run forward, maybe you can find new fighters, before destroying the opponent, you can only move forward, not backward!

In World War II, the Soviet tankers were the most tragic and the bravest.

They repeatedly drove tanks with inferior performance than the Germans. For example, they used the T-34 to besiege the Tiger tank. They relied on the tactics of the tank sea, and the sacrifice of some of the tanks paved the way for the other to sneak around behind the opponent.

Now, they still have this idea, attracting the firepower of the other side, they can create opportunities for the tanks next to them.

It all depends on how fast the Germans can fire their tanks, and the Germans have always done wonders in this regard.

"Boom!" Almost at the same time that the Stalin tank opened fire, the rat tank also opened fire, and the shells of both sides were flying towards each other at a high speed.

If you can look closely, you can see that the thick smoke of the rat tank is not coming from the main gun, but from the secondary gun!

In contrast, the 75mm shells reloaded faster, and when he found that the 75mm armor-piercing shells could penetrate the opponent, Hans stopped wasting the loading time of the 128mm shells.

The 122mm shells flew over first, after all, the Soviets fired a few tenths of a second earlier.

The shell did not hit the turret, but hit the lower hull of the rat tank!

The Soviet tankers, of course, did not only know how to rush forward. They also had tactics. When they found that the 122mm tank gun could not destroy the opponent's turret, they simply greeted the opponent's car body!
