Chapter 459: Just a Piece of Paper

With the sound of the cannon, a fiery flame emerged from the mouth of the second half of the bell, and instantly surrounded the back. This scene was definitely more spectacular than launching a bazooka.

These flames spread back to a distance of fifty meters, and the heat can be felt from a hundred meters away!

Smoke filled the air.

The operation of this kind of cannon is quite dangerous, but its power is also quite against the sky!

This is a 75mm gun after all! The warhead flying at a speed of 365 meters per second flew towards the French tank that was approaching a distance of one thousand meters on the opposite side!

At this distance, it takes about three seconds to fly.

When he found the flames on the opposite side, Bailey shouted loudly: "Turn left at full speed!"

The other party has fired artillery shells, no matter what kind of artillery shells it is, in short, it will definitely pose a threat to our own side. How to deal with this kind of threat?

Depending on where the threat is coming from, you can either brake hard or steer immediately. If it's the side, the brake is the best way, and now it's almost front, and it's a direct shot, the brake is useless.

Only turn around!

However, Bailey failed.

If the speed is fast enough, then his steering can be avoided, but now, even the speed of the S-35 tank is too low!

Hearing his order, the tank driver pulled the brake on one side, the track on the left was locked, and the track on the right was still turning. In this way, the tank brushed the ground and turned to the left.

If he was given another two seconds, he would be able to escape the danger, but now, after just turning around, the car body is still in the outline of the projection just now, and the cannonball flew over!

If the initial velocity of the shell is high enough, such as more than 700 meters per second, then at this time, the opponent can be killed directly with kinetic energy, which is the principle of armor-piercing shells.

But now, recoilless guns are low-pressure guns, and the muzzle velocity of the muzzle is too small. If a direct impact is not enough, this flying shell is not an armor-piercing bullet or a grenade, but an armor-piercing bullet!

In this era, the main force of anti-armor is still ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, but all kinds of new anti-armor ammunition are being developed rapidly.

Among them, the principle of the armor-piercing projectile can be traced back to 1888, when the energy-gathering effect of the dimpled explosive column was discovered.

However, there was no effective use at that time, until before World War II, during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, the German intervention army first used armor-piercing projectiles.

However, it was still not popularized until the early period of World War II. It was found that when the explosive charge pocket was lined with a thin metal cover, the armor-piercing power generated by the charge was greatly enhanced, which led to the widespread application of the energy gathering effect. Since then shine.

A conical metal medicine shield plays the role of converging the metal jets. It can be said that an idea can change the world.

Of course, the advantages of being a traverser must be reflected. Therefore, the further application of the energy gathering effect has long been conquered by German military experts.

Just like a reflector concentrating light, a copper conical medicine shield is used to condense the metal jet!

At this time, the 75mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the middle of the S-35's hull.

When it hit it, it was as if a surface was flattened, and the front end was instantly subjected to huge pressure. This pressure triggered the mechanical fuze, and the explosive in the warhead exploded violently.

Behind the copper cone, the shock wave from the explosion hits the metal lining at a speed of 8,000 meters per second and is concentrated on the apex of the cone.

Under this pressure, the entire metal lining is compressed towards the bottom of the cone, and the pressure is concentrated on the centerline of the cone. The compressed metal linings are packed together and pushed out from the center of the cone base.

Under huge pressure, these metals are sprayed out in a straight line at a powerful speed of 8,000 meters per second. This is the armor-piercing principle of armor-piercing projectiles, using metal jets!

This powerful metal jet hit the armor of the S-35, and its powerful kinetic energy forced the steel structure of the steel armor to flow to the surrounding liquid, leaving a tunnel.

If you can cut one side, you can see the domineering of this metal jet at this time.

At the same time, the head of the jet continues to spread around, and the jet is constantly consumed. Moreover, the energy of the follow-up metal jet is insufficient. After all, the explosion is only a momentary thing.

Now, entering the final stage, there are only two results, if the jet cannot penetrate the armor when it is completely exhausted, it cannot penetrate the opponent. Instead, the armor is destroyed.

What is the result now? Of course the tank was destroyed!

According to the theory of later generations, the penetration data of armor-piercing projectiles is at least five times the diameter, that is to say, a 75mm shell can penetrate more than 300mm of armor!

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a high level, but it is still effortless to break down the S-35.

The S-35 is a 20-ton tank, and the armor protection is not weak. The thickness of the frontal armor of the turret is 55 mm, the thickness of the body armor is 40 mm, and the weakest rear is also 20 mm.

According to historical data, the tank gun at this time was about 37mm to 50mm, and it could withstand it.

In front of the current LG40 recoilless gun, though, it's a piece of paper!

The metal jet, with almost no obstruction, effortlessly penetrated the 40mm armor. When the first beam of heat flow entered the interior of the car body, in an instant, the entire interior of the car body burst into flames!

At this time, the temperature of the metal jet was still as high as several hundred degrees, and the speed was several kilometers per second. Everywhere it went, it was a fire.

A pinch of trickle sputtered onto the 75mm ammunition, and in an instant, a violent explosion was produced.

"Boom!" With the loud noise, the ammunition exploded.

The small turret, at this time, was directly blown away by this huge airflow. As for the people inside, of course it is impossible to live, this is the fate of the tank soldiers.

Tanks are their metal graves when they get hit.

The explosion of this tank immediately stunned the other tankers.

what happened?

If the opponent is a tank, that's fine, they can still accept it, but now, what does the opponent have? Just a few broken motorcycles, and they actually destroyed their own tanks?

This is simply horrible! Especially the other tank close to this tank, after witnessing the explosion inside, was already frightened.

"Quick, put in reverse gear and retreat!" the commander shouted loudly.

If they continue to charge resolutely and decisively at this time, they should be able to push forward. After all, the opponent only has one motorcycle with this kind of killer, and the other motorcycles are all machine guns.

However, they were frightened.

When the whole country was chanting for peace, the soldiers also lost their blood. The soldiers on the front line almost never went through that cruel battle, and they did not have the courage to fight to the death.
