Chapter 1380 Worthy of Respect
If it had not driven off the log just now, the flying 122mm shell would have already hit the Tiger tank. The weak armor on the top of the Tiger tank would definitely not be able to stop the attack of this shell. Especially the ordinary blunt armor-piercing projectile that flew in, under the positive effect, can easily smash the top of the Tiger tank.
Unfortunately, now, it flew away, wiping the roots of the radio antenna and flying away, causing the surrounding people to break out in a cold sweat.
At the same time, the thin and long armor-piercing projectile that flew past had also reached the top of the Stalin tank. After it hit down, it was ejected.
Well, it's bounced off again!
After reducing the rotation speed of the armor-piercing projectile, the ricochet rate of the shelling armor-piercing projectile has been greatly reduced, but now, under certain circumstances, the ricochet will still occur. This is a problem that cannot be solved in future generations. Why don't the Leopard 2 tanks have to add bras, it's just for ricocheting.
Now, although the German tank has increased the depression angle before launching it, when the shell contacts the top of the turret, it has an angle of 70 degrees with the normal line of the turret, which is too large and it is easy to ricochet.
Stalin tank, sinking even more.
"Reload!" Yuri shouted loudly inside the turret.
"Our engine will be submerged soon," said the loader. "Let me push the mud flow away."
"No, you can't go out, it's too dangerous." Yuri said, "Also, we need you to reload the shells quickly."
"I go!"
The driver shouted loudly and opened his hatch.
Since the tank could no longer move, the driver was the easiest one, but he didn't come out just now.
Because his position was in the front, if he got out of it, he might have been hit before he climbed to the back.
But he had no choice, and now he was the only one left to be idle.
He pushed open the hatch and was about to crawl out.
"Tom tom tom!" The 40mm chariot gun came in his direction, and the fierce artillery fire caused sparks to fly.
Amazing!
When the German tank troops arrived, of course, these infantry fighting vehicles were not idle. They had been waiting for an opportunity. Seeing that the other party was still coming out, of course, don't hesitate, go straight on!
The driver gritted his teeth and slammed out again.
"Tom tom tom!" A cannonball hit the front of the car body accurately, and the driver screamed and fell from the car body.
Did the driver die?
The three people in the turret didn't have time to care about this, they were reloading quickly.
Originally, the reloading speed of the German Tiger tank was far faster than that of the Stalin tank. Many times, the Stalin tank had only one chance to shoot, and it would be hit and destroyed by Germany.
But it's different now.
If the German tanks were to fire, they had to go back and reload the logs, which would take time. In this way, even the Stalin tanks were given the lead!
"Boom!" The Stalin tank fired again. During the violent shelling, the entire body trembled and continued to stab into the mud. Then, the engine at the rear let out a labored roar, and bursts of Black smoke.
"Teng, Teng Teng." The engine stalled!
Mud had clogged the air intakes, and without enough air, the engine wouldn't run at all!
"Manual!" Yuri shouted loudly.
Fortunately, the turret doesn't need to be moved much. If the turret rotates half a circle, it can be exhausted manually.
There was a slight movement in the mud.
The driver, covered in mud, got up from the swamp. He grabbed the toolbox outside the car and climbed up hard. Behind him, there was a pool of blood.
One of his arms was missing, and the severe pain made him faint, and the sound of the shelling of the fire woke him up again. When he saw that the engine had no black smoke, he knew that the engine had stalled.
With almost all his strength, he climbed onto the back cover, and then, with his only remaining arm, he carefully cleaned the mud away.
"Tom tom, tom tom tom!" When he saw the clay figurine continue to climb up and clear the engine, the infantry fighting vehicle in the distance opened fire again.
Countless artillery shells flew over, and at the rear of the Stalin tank, the cover of the engine kept exploding. After the artillery fire, only a red thing with bloody mud mixed with minced flesh was left on the engine, which could no longer be seen. people.
"Shoot!" When Yuri heard the voice outside, he knew what was going on, there was only anger in his eyes, kill the enemy tank!
"Boom!" The Stalin tank fired again. At the same time, on the opposite side, several Tiger tanks started shooting at him at the same time!
I thought that the leading Tiger tank would be enough to destroy it, but who would have thought it would be so difficult to deal with, so when the battalion commander in front continued to prepare to shoot, the following Tiger tanks followed suit. Turn the hull of the tank, adjust the angle of the hull, and fire.
Blunt armor-piercing rounds!
When they found that their artillery shells flew away, they also knew that there were ricocheting bullets, so they replaced the shells of the shells with ordinary blunt armor-piercing bullets and started shooting again.
"boom!"
The gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle, and 88mm artillery shells flew out of the barrel and flew towards the turret of the Stalin tank at high speed.
"Boom!" The cannonball hit Stalin's turret heavily. The first cannonball was blocked by Stalin's tank. The cannonball made a big hole outside, but it didn't penetrate.
Then, the second one, the third one...
"Boom!" Under the heavy blow, the Stalin tank suddenly exploded.
Because the body of the car is all in the mud, only the turret is exposed. Now it seems that it is in the mud, and suddenly there are shining fireworks. The turret actually flew up to a meter high, and then fell. to the side.
Karl Maos opened his tank turret, revealing half of his body, and saluted the Stalin tank opposite.
Although the enemy, but the opponent still won his respect.
In the situation just now, the opponent's surrender was the best choice, but the opponent still fought to the last moment, and even with the last cannonball, he almost wiped out his tank.
Carl Mauss looked at the top of his turret. The additional armor was completely broken, and the 122mm warhead was embedded in his own turret to stay on the armor, and it was almost penetrated by a small amount.
"Accelerate, don't let the Soviet tank troops run away!" came the command of the division commander in the headset.
