Chapter 209 Cermet Bullet

"Cyric, why aren't you sleeping?" The room was clean and tidy, and that was the difference between having a woman and not having a woman.

Cyric was still looking at the map in deep thought, put on his pajamas, and Hannah, who had washed herself to a good smell, shouted to Cyric.

"Okay, come here." Cyric said, and wanted to turn to bed when he heard the voice of his bodyguard, Graf, from outside: "General Cyric, there is an emergency military situation on the front line."

"Okay, I'll come right away." After that, Cyric was about to go out.

Hannah got up from the bed, picked up Cyric's military coat, and put it on him: "It's cold at night."

Cyric turned around, held Hannah in his arms, and kissed him deeply. He was very satisfied with such a wife.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon." After speaking, Cyric turned around and walked out.

Behind her, Hannah looked at her with concern. She watched her man leave, full of concern.

"What's going on?" Cyric asked when he came to the headquarters.

"Guderian sent a telegram," said the chief of staff. "They have successfully captured Fort Henares. Now, the infantry division sent by General Mora is heading for the confluence on the starry night."

Cyric nodded, he thought that there was something wrong with this first battle! Now it looks like things are going well.

So what's the hurry?

"After taking the local arsenal, they found an anti-tank gun that had not yet been shipped to Madrid. This gun was so powerful that it could penetrate 50mm of armor when using a special warhead."

Suddenly, Cyric felt his eyelids twitching, didn't he?

Soviet anti-tank guns! Cyric is no stranger to this.

Historically, the Soviet Union's 14.5mm anti-tank gun was also famous. Unfortunately, it only played a role in the early period of World War II. In the later period, the German Tiger type and Tiger King came out, and the anti-tank gun for individual soldiers was never used again. Can't penetrate tanks anymore.

And now, their tanks are only 20 tons, and anti-tank guns can still bring some threats.

"Guderian dispatched two infantry fighting vehicles, intending to send this weapon to the base." The staff continued.

Cyric nodded: "Tell Guderian, don't worry about losses, our current advantage is speed! One or two advanced anti-tank weapons will not change our results. What we need now is to verify our The tactics are correct!"

Advanced tactics are an important factor that dominates the outcome of the war. In the early days of World War II, Germany's armored forces were actually not advanced.

When fighting France, Germany only had tanks No. 1 and No. 2, and even laying down in the middle of the way, they still defeated France. When they fought against the Soviet Union, the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks equipped by Germany did not have the T of the Soviet Union. -34 advanced, still beat the Soviet Union to the point of shit, hit Moscow in a few months.

Tactics are more important!

In addition to the Panther 2, Guderian's armored division also has nearly half of the Panther 1 tanks. These 30-ton tanks are completely able to resist the blow of this anti-tank gun.

Don't worry about loss, go to war, it's impossible not to die.

After receiving Cyric's telegram, Guderian was relieved, and Cyric gave him a reassurance, don't be afraid, continue to fight!

In the second half of the night, when the soldiers of the Northern Army arrived, Guderian continued to set off without waiting until dawn.

Their tactics are ahead of this era! The blitzkrieg battle is fast, relying on the mobile advantage of the armored corps, assaulting hundreds of kilometers a day! Hit the opponent by surprise!

At noon the next day, this weapon was delivered to the base of the Condor Legion.

"This is a ceramic bullet." When he saw the bullet in this box, Cyric immediately told the origin.

Historically, the PTRR-39 developed by the Soviets had only ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, and until the PTRS-41, there was a ceramic armor-piercing projectile. This special 14.5mm metal-ceramic armor-piercing projectile can penetrate 50mm armor plates at a distance of 100 meters. .

Therefore, such power was enough to penetrate the main armor of the German No. 4 tank within 100 meters and penetrate the 30 mm thick side armor and engine of the No. 4 tank at a distance of 300 meters. Power is very strong.

However, this advantage is only short-lived. When it was discovered that even anti-tank guns could hit their own tanks, the German tank soldiers immediately began to reinforce, adding additional armor on the outside of the No. 4 tank, and the newly manufactured tank. , It also thickened the armor. For example, the front armor was increased to 80 mm, and the side armor exceeded 50 mm, making this anti-tank gun ineffective.

"This kind of bullet is a certain threat to us, but it is only temporary." Cyric tried to recall everything in history.

Cyric's crossing is constantly changing history. Now, the Soviet anti-tank gun is a living example.

However, many cannot be changed, for example, the industrial base of the Soviets!

"Moreover, the manufacturing process of this gun is complicated and the output is very low, and this kind of bullet is even more difficult to manufacture." Cyric said: "So, it is very likely that the Soviet Union has already supported the items we captured this time. all of it."

Don't worry, these weapons will not be produced much!

"We have never thought about using ceramics as warheads in our country." Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen said on the side: "These bullets can be sent back and given to our personnel for study."

Hearing this, Cyric also had an idea: "Yes, hand it over to our staff to study, not only how to make armor-piercing bullets, but also how to make hard armor."

Ceramic armor is not unfamiliar in later generations. This is the main secret of Chobham armor, and it is also a research direction of composite armor in other countries. It can be said that in addition to depleted uranium armor, this armor is advanced.

It is impossible to make just one sample. Otherwise, if you import the last Challenger 2 from the UK, disassemble it, you can copy it yourself. The most important thing is the craftsmanship and the processing process.

Now, everything is starting from scratch. Maybe by the end of World War II, there will be no mature products. However, after all, this is an idea and a research direction!

"Our base is ready to continue relocating immediately." Cyric said: "We must support our First Armored Division and fight this battle well."

Tank troops can charge quickly without any scruples. There is a premise that they must seize air supremacy! With the lightning-like attack of the tank troops, the aviation troops in the rear must also keep up!

Therefore, the headquarters of the Condor Legion will be relocated to Fort Henares, from where it can radiate to the entire eastern part of Spain!

"General, General Jose of the Central Army is here." Outside, Graff walked in and said.
