The Third Reich

Chapter 336 Black Panther 3, Good Work!

"Fire!" Looking at the German tank, he accurately entered his field of vision, and, with a distance of only 200 meters, this time, the Polish tank finally had a chance to destroy the Germans!

The battalion commander, Major Stanislaw Grinski, shouted, and then he moved the trigger with his foot.

"Boom!" The 37mm tank gun, the muzzle of a fire burst out, and the firewood stacks around it were blown away at once. At the same time, in the black smoke of the muzzle, the 37mm anti-tank Cannonballs, fly out!

Although the caliber is not large, this is a tungsten core armor-piercing projectile!

Moreover, the penetration depth of the armor-piercing projectile is related to the distance. The closer the range, the greater the penetration depth. Now, the distance from the opponent is only 200 meters, so there is no need to worry about the accuracy, and there is no problem with the penetration!

In fact, there was no radio station in their tank. Major Stanislaw's shout was not heard by more people, but his cannon shot was heard in an instant.

The sound of the cannon was a signal, and the other tanks immediately fired!

Fire!

This is really tricky enough, right on the side of the Panther tank!

The 37mm tungsten core armor-piercing projectile flew to the side of the Panther tank almost instantly. This was the second time that Wittmann's tank was hit within a few hours since the start of the war!

In the violent impact, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile quickly drilled into the side of the Black Panther tank. Its hardness exceeds that of the steel-core armor-piercing projectile, which means that its penetrating ability is better!

The pointed head drilled hard, and at the same time, it began to become more and more blunt, and the speed became slower and slower.

Why are depleted uranium warheads so popular in later generations? It is because of the self-sharpening effect of depleted uranium alloy, the more you drill, the more you grind, the sharper it becomes! And tungsten alloy, it is absolutely blunt the more it is ground.

In this way, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile continues to drill into the armor. This is a head-to-head contest!

At the same time, the armor of nickel alloy steel is also holding up hard, withstood! Absolutely can't let the other party penetrate!

The temperature at the impact site was rising sharply, and the armor-piercing projectile was still digging into the side armor of the tank.

Ahead, how deep is it? The armor-piercing bullet doesn't know, it only knows that as it keeps drilling into it, its head becomes duller and slower, but the front is still steel!

It was looking forward to a sudden loosening in front of itself, and then calmly drilled in, stirring up an earth-shattering explosion inside, but now, it has no strength.

The drill can't move, the speed has been zero! It stopped there. At this time, it did not know that it was only a few millimeters away from drilling through!

The side armor of the Panther 3 tank is 45mm thick armor protection, which is the same as the historical one. Due to the large inclination angle, the actual protection ability is more. This thickness is almost the same as the frontal armor of some light tanks. thick.

However, this is still unable to withstand advanced anti-tank guns, and it is impossible to make a tank reach the same thickness in all directions. At the time of design, the Panther tank was required to block the 85mm gun on the front, and only the 50mm anti-tank gun was required on the side.

Now, the opponent is a 37mm anti-tank gun, but it is equipped with a big killer such as a tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet. As a result, it almost penetrated!

On the battlefield, this small difference is the difference between life and death!

Black Panther 3, great!

For armored soldiers, an excellent tank, which can allow them to stay in it with confidence, is the most confident. The front is not penetrated, and the side is not penetrated!

In fact, this is all a momentary thing. It was a slow motion just now. The real situation is that after hearing the sound of the impact, the process of the impact will end almost instantly.

If it is penetrated, the person in the tank will be finished. If there is no penetration, then continue to fight!

For the well-trained crew, in fact, almost immediately after hearing the sound of the impact, they started to fight back!

Putting his hand on the button of the turret rotation, the hydraulically driven turret turned rapidly, and at the same time, the driver in front also instantly judged the target direction, pulled the operating lever, and the tank body also began to turn towards the target. !

All of this can only be done quickly by well-trained crews, who perform their duties, especially the driver!

In addition to increasing the speed of the muzzle rotation and allowing the tank gun to aim at the target faster, when it is reversed, the thickest armor of the car body will move towards the most threatening target direction, so that the tank will not pierced!

At the same time, the radio operator also quickly issued an alarm in the radio, pay attention, there are enemies in the fields on both sides!

Everyone is working closely together, and the most important thing is the loader!

Now, in Wittmann's tank, the loader is Corporal Gunther Weber, a young, energetic young man just eighteen years old. While the turret was turning, he pulled out a 75mm from the back of the turret. Armor-piercing bullets.

Just now, although the turret was turning, there was no ammunition inside the gun chamber, but the crew was on guard.

Why not reload in advance?

For a well-trained tanker, they will not load the ammunition before finding the target, because the types of targets are different, and the types of shells required are different. The target, hit the ordinary sandbag fortifications, hit the enemy's position, what is needed is the grenade.

As for the tank gun, as long as the shells are put in, they must be shot out, and it is absolutely impossible to withdraw.

In the current situation, the use of grenades is more written, and at the moment of being attacked, Wittmann has shouted loudly: "Armor-piercing bullets!"

At this time, the body of the car was moving, and the turret was also moving. The people in the turret, the commander and the gunner, were all sitting on the gondola. They rotated with the turret while searching for the target quickly, while the loader, Half bent, he was like an acrobat!

In a galloping chariot, bending over to move shells and loading shells requires superb balance. If the balance is not good, you will even be injured in bumps. In a flash, when the shell fell, it hit the foot, it was definitely a comminuted fracture.

But now, Weber, as if he had practiced the lower plate, did not shake at all, steadily stuffed the armor-piercing projectile into the cannon, closed the gun door, and shouted loudly: "The armor-piercing projectile is loaded!"

From being attacked, to turning, turning the turret, and loading artillery shells, Wittmann's crew took only five seconds!

It's absolutely fast!
