Chapter 206 Wittmann's Battle

An illiterate can't be a tanker, or, can only be a loader.

Now, German tanks are the standard five-man team.

There are three people in the turret, the gunner, the commander and the loader.

The gunner is responsible for operating the tank gun to fire, the commander is responsible for observing the surrounding situation, indicating the target, and at the same time calculating some shots in advance, while the loader is responsible for moving the shells.

There are two people in front, the driver on the left and the mechanic on the right.

Now, as the commander, Wittmann is quickly and effectively determining the shooting elements, which is a very simple ratio conversion.

His large triangle can just coincide with the two-meter-long triangle one kilometer away, and now, as long as he knows that the opposite is a T-26 tank, the width is 3.4 meters, according to the width of the other's tank, and his own triangle The proportional relationship can be converted into distance.

Yes, it is mental arithmetic. This is the knowledge that every commander and gunner must master, memorize the size of the enemy tank, and at the same time know mental arithmetic!

After a quick calculation, it was notified to the gunner. The gunner pressed the button according to the instructions, and the hydraulically driven turret turned an angle to adjust the elevation angle of the gun. Then, the gunner heard Wittmann's order.

"Fire!"

Fire! The gunner's hand pressed the firing button, and then, the entire tank roared violently.

boom!

At the muzzle, a fireball appeared, and in front of the fireball, a blunt armor-piercing projectile flew past!

Inside the turret, there was a choking smell of gunpowder smoke, and Wittmann shouted: "Start!"

start up! The tanker in front, after the launch, had already completed the action of gearing, and stepped on the accelerator hard after Wittmann's order came.

The V12 diesel engine roared happily, driving the driving wheel, driving the crawler, and started to move forward again!

All of this is almost done in one go.

At this moment, the 75mm armor-piercing projectile just flew to the opposite side!

The blunt head hit the T-26's body accurately and collided with the body, making a loud noise.

At this moment, Korchagin was shocked, Christoph was shocked, and so was the loader.

how can that be?

Now, the distance between the two sides is a full 1,500 meters. At this distance, the other party has accurately projected the cannonball!

Soviet tankers, when shooting, almost always fire within 500 meters, so that the accuracy rate can be maintained at more than 50%. At a distance of 1,000 meters, the best shooters can only guarantee 10% hit rate, and now, the other party actually hit him accurately at this distance?

Their surprise only lasted for a moment.

Then, the 15mm-thick armor was smashed through forcibly, with countless swirling iron slag and huge kinetic energy, the armor-piercing projectile whose head was flattened, crashed in at a speed of more than 500 meters per second .

"boom!"

The ammunition inside the tank was instantly detonated under the high temperature of the impact! Huge flames and black gunpowder smoke completely surrounded the tank. In the sky-high smoke column, half of the turret was lifted up abruptly!

There can be no living mouth! The battle of tanks is so cruel!

As in the battle song of the armored soldiers, if we are doomed, at least our loyal tanks will give us a metal grave!

Wittmann's tank was roaring, black smoke was coming from the engine at the rear, and he took the lead in rushing towards the Soviet tank in front. For him, those Soviet tanks were his prey and his victory!

Just now, when he saw the black smoke rising from the opponent's tank from the sight, there was a faint sense of pleasure in his heart.

"Order the 1st Company, don't rush too fast, pay attention to the formation!" Behind, the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment Kurt gave the order loudly.

Hearing his order, the electromechanical operator in the command tank quickly turned the knob of his own radio, adjusted to the frequency band of the company commander, and shouted loudly: "Company 1, Company 1, don't rush too much. Hurry up, keep in formation!"

The electromagnetic waves were transmitted silently. In the tank of the 1st company commander, the electromechanical operator received this signal and turned the radio station in front of him from the receiving state to the transmitting state. In the frequency band inside the 1st company, he shouted loudly: " 1 company, 1 company, pay attention to keep the formation, don't rush too fast!"

After the shouting was completed, he quickly switched to the receiving state.

The radio waves continued to pass, and the electromechanical operator of Wittmann's tank received the news and shouted to Wittmann: "The company commander said we rushed too fast!"

"Reduce the speed and wait for our comrades in arms." Wittmann shouted loudly, and then he was overjoyed again: "Eight hundred meters ahead, at eleven o'clock, there is a BT-5!"

In later movies, you can see images of these heroes, tankers holding radios and shouting in public channels. In fact, this is simply not possible.

The 1st armored regiment and hundreds of tanks, if everyone shouted together, there would only be one result. There was noise everywhere, and no one could hear it.

Therefore, in the use of tank radios, different workshops use different channels for calls, and it is necessary to switch back and forth between sending and receiving calls. In the battle, the communication between vehicles is very frequent and the amount of information is large.

In this case, the commander's only command of the battle is a task that requires a high degree of concentration, and it is impossible to operate the complicated radio station. Therefore, in the five-person tank, there are full-time correspondents to carry out tedious tasks. It is operated by the radio station, and it sends information quickly according to the commander's instructions during the battle, and receives and organizes the information returned from the outside to convey it concisely to the commander.

Of course, if there are tanks like the Soviet Union, there is no need for electromechanical operators, because they have no radio at all, they can rely on cavalry, rely on pigeons to pass.

Or, show half of your body and use body language to command.

For example, now, for the BT-5 tank in the target, the turret is open, and the commander is shouting loudly with the upper half of his body exposed.

Well, yes, courage is commendable!

"Boom!" Wittmann's tank opened fire for the second time.

In the sight, Wittmann held his breath to observe, the second victory?

Damn it! It's flying!

The shells did not focus on the BT-5 tank, but flew over the top of the turret of this tank! Right in front of its trajectory is the tank commander!

In the sight of the sight, it was just a matter of a while, Wittmann saw the other side's commander, the upper half of his body, and all of a sudden it was gone! A 75mm armor-piercing bullet hits a person's body directly, and it will definitely turn into minced meat in an instant!

The lower half of the body, however, was intact. At this moment, it fell into the tank turret with blood.
