Chapter 1513 Infantry's Anti-Tank Weapon

Soon, the warhead of the rocket came into close contact with the front-end armor of the Panther 3 tank.

On the battlefield, it is rare to hit the front armor of the car body. Generally speaking, it is the turret armor that is hit.

This is because in a normal exchange of fire, both sides are at almost the same height. When shooting at each other, considering factors such as the curvature of the ballistics caused by gravity, the chance of the shell hitting the front of the turret is the highest.

Therefore, of all tanks, the armor on the front of the turret is also the thickest. The thickness of the main armor of the Panther 3 here is 130 mm, all of which are the best nickel alloy steel. In this way, the Panther 3 tank is enough to withstand Frontal attack of the 85mm tank gun.

Even if it is an 85mm shell, it is not afraid. Now, the caliber of the Bazooka is only 60mm, but the penetration depth cannot be calculated in this way.

It uses the principle of a shaped warhead to penetrate the opponent through a metal jet.

Moreover, Aiken was aiming in the cannonball crater, almost only half of his body was exposed, and the rocket launcher was less than half a meter above the ground, so he almost looked up and shot upwards. When the cannonball hit, it hit the car in front of him. On the body armor, close contact occurred almost from the position between the radio operator and the driver.

The armor here is only 100mm thick.

When the warhead hits the armor, the huge pressure brought about by the collision immediately triggers the mechanical fuze in front of the warhead. Inside the copper pharmaceutical cover, the explosion of the explosive forms a powerful heat, which displaces the medicine in front of it. The hood melted, and then a fiery metal heat flow with a temperature of more than a thousand degrees was formed, and it rushed towards the front armor, as if a high-pressure water gun could easily blow through the mud layer. In front of it, the metal seemed to be Soft bread that can be broken with a fork.

The metal heat flow rapidly impacts the front. In fact, it is not positive. The heat flow has a declination angle of about ten degrees, which makes the impact distance longer. During the impact process, the heat flow is constantly cooling down and decelerating. The hard hitting of armor-piercing projectiles is somewhat similar.

If it can penetrate the opponent's armor before the energy of the metal heat flow is exhausted, the armor is successfully broken. If the armor is still thick after exhaustion, it cannot be penetrated.

This silent contest took only a short moment, and the heat flow successfully penetrated the excellent nickel alloy armor of the German feet, and then passed to the back.

The temperature of the metal heat flow was still five or six hundred degrees. When it penetrated, a huge flame emerged from the small hole and swept the entire tank.

Under this heat, no one could survive, and several tankers inside turned into barbecue in an instant, and at the same time, the flames ignited the shells inside. "boom!"

The tank was detonated. The huge explosive energy of the ammunition came out from the pressure relief plate at the back, and thick smoke billowed from the rear of the entire tank. Due to the timely pressure relief, the turret of the tank was not overturned. But it has also lost combat capability.

The power of the rocket launcher is very powerful. Take the historical data to say that the German Tekken 30 has a range of 30m and a penetration depth of 140mm; the Tekken 60 has a range of 60m and a penetration depth of 200mm; the Tekken 100 has a range of 100m and a penetration depth of 200mm. 220mm.

It can be seen that no tank can block the shooting of this kind of individual weapon, even if it is a rat tank, the frontal gun mantlet is only 180 mm.

As for Bazooka, there are two versions, one is that the thickness of the vertical armor is 127 mm, and the other is that the thickness of the armor is 76 mm when it is incident at a 60-degree angle. (It may be a data after conversion.) In short, Bazooka can punch through the body of the Black Panther 3. Except for the frontal gun mantlet, other places cannot withstand the blow of Bazooka!

(Of course, there are many opinions. Some say that this thing is tasteless. In history, even the leopard-type main armor can't be beaten, and it can't beat T-34-85. Now, according to East China's hero, let it be set. Let's just penetrate the frontal body armor of Black Panther 3! Think of it as an improved Bazooka in the later period.)

At the beginning, Cyric had concerns about bringing out the bazooka, and it was from this perspective that it was simple, effective, and a big killer of infantry and anti-tank, which was not good for Germany.

Destroyed, destroyed frontally, this was the first time in the entire Soviet-German battlefield that the infantry used the weapons in their hands to actually destroy the terrifying and ferocious tanks!

When seeing this scene, all the Soviet defenders in the back positions boiled.

They could see very clearly that those American reinforcements, those groundhogs, were ambushing in front of their positions, and they watched them fire with round-pipe-like weapons, and fiery flames came out of their tails, and then they watched The tank on the opposite side was destroyed.

If they had such a weapon in their hands, they would never have to be afraid of German tanks again!

"Awesome!" Greevich shouted loudly, "You are our saviour!"

"What kind of weapon is this? It's too powerful, we need it too!"

Hayashi said quickly: "Bazooka, we are all used to calling it Bazooka."

The name of Bazooka quickly spread throughout the entire line of defense. At this time, there was no pessimism on the position. They regained their courage and could definitely defeat the Germans on the opposite side.

Do they dare to charge like that when they find that infantry can destroy their tanks?

Of course dare!

At this moment, the battalion commander Westhagen found the target's hiding place, only fifty meters away from his own side. At this moment, he issued an order: "Fifty meters in front of the right, the fire is covered!"

One of their Panther 3 tanks was actually destroyed, which made the German tank soldiers present angry, no one thought of retreating, they wanted revenge, they wanted to kill the enemy in front!

On the right side of the triangular queue, the remaining four Panther 3 tanks immediately poured out a dense rain of bullets.

They move quickly. At this distance, the tank guns cannot fire due to the limitation of the depression angle. Therefore, they can only kill each other with machine guns!

There was almost no time wasted, just as the flames were found, they turned the turret, and at the same time that their tanks were destroyed, the dense bullets had been fired.

"Chichichi!"

As the bullets flew away, before he could lower his body, Aiken felt countless bullets hit his body. Under the impact of the bullets, his body fell backwards, and he stumbled back. After a few steps, the body retreated to the back of the crater.

Blood was gurgling out of his body, and there were only a few seconds left of his life.

"Aiken!" Seeing him like this, Carl shouted loudly: "You can't die, I'll take you back and find a doctor to save you!"

"A pig head that speaks bad English." By this time, Aiken still used this familiar mantra: "I'm so stupid at home, I'm helpless. I killed a tank, killed five German devils, I Earned, now it's your turn, don't embarrass you guys from Hawaii."

After speaking, Aiken's head finally tilted to one side, and he stopped breathing.

The bazooka in his hand was still bloody, Karl wiped his tears and picked up the bazooka.
