Chapter 1551 Only Two Cars Left
German turrets don't turn fast.
A saying is that if the rotation is fast, it will not be easy to improve the accuracy, depending on the gear density of the seat ring. At the same time, the biggest reason is the weight of the turret.
The turret is definitely not rotated manually. If the turret is driven by hydraulics or electricity, there is a limit problem of driving. When the auxiliary power is not enough, the turret cannot rotate fast.
For the German crew, this problem is not a problem. Although it is impossible for them to turn the turret quickly, they have another unique skill.
Turn in place.
At this time, the ground was all muddy, and the track, which was more than one meter wide, began to turn.
Forward on the right, backward on the left, when Schmidt in front killed the steering wheel, the chassis of the tank received the command to turn in situ, and the entire tank began to turn in situ with the center as the axis.
If it is on hard ground, this kind of brutal operation may cause some terrible consequences, such as the crawler falling off during rotation, which is a big problem, but now, the ground is extremely slippery, and when the crawler is turning, it is abruptly pushed to the side Push out mud more than half a meter high.
The car body is rotating, and the turret is also rotating. While they are rotating together, the muzzle is rotating rapidly.
Inside the turret gondola, the vision of the gunner Sergeant Calpanet changed rapidly.
The Soviets also moved quickly.
"Boom!" A flame emerged from Yakov's muzzle, and a 152mm armor-piercing projectile flew towards the opposite side. At this time, the German tanks were turning, and their speed was very fast, but they only completed Just a half turn, just to put the widest turret sideways on him.
The huge cannonball flew towards the turret of the Rat tank, and then came into close contact with the armor on the side of the turret.
It smashed the armor on the outside of the turret severely and began to drill inward. At the same time, the speed was also dropping rapidly, and soon, it stopped.
No penetration.
For ordinary tanks, the front is the thickest, the sides are second, and the back is the smallest. This is true. However, it is not so for a rat tank. Its front is 240 mm thick, while the sides and back are indeed thinner. Some, only 220mm.
This gap is nothing at all. The 152mm armor-piercing projectile cannot penetrate the front, nor can it penetrate the sides and back!
If the opponent really wants to have a victory, attacking the walking mechanism below is the right way, provided that the depression angle is sufficient.
The rat tank is absolutely safe, and there is no need to worry about any risk of being penetrated. Now, listening to the sound of being hit again outside, the people inside the turret don't care at all. In front of Sergeant Kalpanet, finally A target appeared.
Let's fire in turn.
"boom!"
"boom!"
One after another SU-152 was named.
When the third car was shot, the opponent suddenly began to retreat with a black smoke from the engine at the rear!
Soviet people, also know to be afraid? Where did the rush of energy just go?
Yakov is not afraid.
Now the Soviets have very few armored forces, and the shortage of oil makes them more difficult. At this time, the service of the SU-152 is of great significance. They can destroy the German Tiger tanks head-on.
They are what the front lines need most.
As a result, in this light rain, a new German tank was accidentally discovered. Originally, Yakov planned to kill this tank to enhance his confidence.
As a result, more than a dozen of his own chariots were destroyed, and the terrifying firepower, terrifying rate of fire, and terrifying maneuverability of the opponent left a deep impression on him.
At the same time, his last efforts failed.
He originally planned to go around to the back and destroy it, but when he found that the back could not be destroyed, it was meaningless for him to continue fighting.
It is his mission to keep the last two Su-152s and go to the front line to deal with more Tiger and Panther tanks, not to continue to consume them here.
So, Yakov ordered a retreat.
In the drizzle, they easily got into the rain curtain and left, and it was very easy to leave the battlefield.
At the same time, their two chariots separated from two directions, making it easier to escape.
They can't go forward, that would give each other a chance, they can only go backwards.
If it is a tank with an advanced hydraulic transmission system in later generations, the reverse speed is as fast as the forward speed, it can still escape, but the Soviet tank does not have this function.
Its reversing is quite slow, because it has taken the lead, it has indeed retreated into the rain screen. According to Yakov's plan, after a certain distance back and complete safety, it can continue to drive forward. , so that you can just bypass the opponent and retreat quickly.
However, his thinking is naive.
When he found that two chariots had retreated, Hans knew that it would be impossible to completely wipe out the opponent today. So far, he has killed more than a dozen tanks. In this battle, the record will be The envy of many tank commanders.
Now, he can only kill one more, not more.
Where are you chasing?
Hans had no other way to judge, but chose the one on the left with his intuition.
In this era of tanks, the driver is still on the left, so that the driver can find the target earlier by chasing the tank on the left.
"Chase the enemy on the left, don't let it run away!"
Following Hans's order, Schmidt stepped on the accelerator again, the rat tank's body of more than 100 tons swayed and began to accelerate, and a black smoke came out from the tail.
The petrol engine was rumbling, electricity was fed into the motor, converted into power, and the tank began to roar and charge forward.
In the rain curtain, everything seems to be hidden, where is the enemy?
Schmidt's eyes looked towards the front, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Turn on the night vision device." At this moment, Hans gave the order again.
Now, active infrared night vision goggles are almost standard equipment for all armored soldiers, and some infantrymen have also begun to be equipped with individual night vision goggles. This equipment, which relies on infrared headlights to detect targets, is mainly used at night.
But now, Hans has a whim, except at night, there are certain advantages to using it now.
The moment the infrared headlights were turned on, a column-shaped white fog appeared in front of them. This was the release of infrared rays, and the surrounding water vapor immediately evaporated. In an instant, the distance they could see more than doubled. .
Originally, he could only see 30 meters away, but now he can see at least 60 meters away. Then, Schmidt was Yixi, and the chariot that was running away appeared in his field of vision.
Catch up!
