Chapter 672
"Armor-piercing bullets, hurry up!" Pettyfer shouted to his men.
There were six to eight people in an artillery squad, and two loader squatted down quickly. The ammunition box had already been pried open with a crowbar. They picked up a yellow-orange cannonball and stuffed it into the cannon.
"Boom." Loaded!
"Attention, aim at the tallest Soviet new tank in front, and prepare to fire!" Pettyvor looked at the other side with his telescope, and gave the order while measuring the distance.
Now, there are still eight hundred meters!
This anti-tank gun has an effective range of more than two kilometers, but in order to pursue accuracy, it is generally fired within one thousand meters. Now, in order to further pursue power, he has to lower the range requirements and wait until Get closer!
Seven hundred meters, six hundred meters, five hundred meters.
"Fire!" Pettyvor shouted loudly.
At this time, the Soviet tanks on the opposite side can actually fire, but the other side has no such plan at all.
The defense line here is very cleverly arranged, and it is not easy to distinguish from the opposite side.
The entire line of defense consists of the support area, the main defense area, the second defense area and the rear defense area (the rear area of Vyborg), and now, they are in the support area, the fortifications here are low, and the surrounding shrubs and the like The natural environment is integrated, and it is not easy to determine the other side.
As long as it fires, it's different.
"Boom!" The gunner pulled the gun rope, and the entire gun body vibrated backwards involuntarily. At the front of the gun muzzle, a 2.25 kg steel armored bullet was moving towards the speed of 823 meters per second. Fly away!
The power of armor-piercing bullets is related to the distance. The closer the distance, the higher the storage speed and the deeper the armor-piercing.
However, the opponent is a tank after all, and it is impossible to put it too close. Otherwise, they may only be able to shoot a shell and die under the crush of the opponent's tank's crawler.
The armor-piercing projectile flew towards the opposite side. At this distance, it took almost half a second to accurately and closely contact the opponent's gun mantlet.
"Boom!" The cannonball hit the main armor heavily, and the cavity effect inside the turret made the sound of the collision louder, and when it was transmitted to everyone's ears, they felt involuntary fear.
Yes, for tank soldiers, this sound means the coming of death! You know, tanks are the graves of tank soldiers!
"Stop moving forward, target, five hundred meters ahead, azimuth straight ahead, a grenade." Just when the others hadn't slowed down, the commander Mirokov had already spoken.
Mirokov has great confidence in his tanks, just like the German tanks, theirs will not be destroyed!
The opponent's shooting revealed the position of the opponent's position. He could see it clearly just now. Now, with one shot of his own, he will kill the opponent's anti-tank gun position!
His calmness infected the entire vehicle. The driver in front stepped on the brakes, and the heavy tank stopped. Then, the loader reloaded and the gunner took aim. After thirty-five seconds, the entire tank, There was a huge roar.
The 76mm shell flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the opposite anti-tank gun position!
"Boom!" At the muzzle, huge black smoke came out, and the entire turret was instantly filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke.
"Damn, turn on the exhaust fan!" Mirokov yelled. There has always been a problem with the smoking device in the cannon. If a few cannons are fired in a row, the people in the turret will be smoked to death.
While shouting, he continued to stare at the target on the opposite side. Just now, he kept moving forward, but did not fire, because he knew very well that their aiming was very poor, and they definitely missed the target when they were far away. Now, it is only 500 meters. It's just the distance, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
With their expectations, the 76mm grenade hit exactly where the opponent fired just now.
"Boom!" The grenade exploded, tearing open the bricks in front of the gun emplacement and flying in all directions.
"Clear, move on!" Mirokov was still satisfied, even if the anti-tank gun was not killed, at least those artillerymen should have been killed almost.
The tracks swayed, and the tank continued to move forward.
Behind the defense line, several artillerymen were panting heavily. Just a dozen meters away from them, the artillery position had just exploded.
The Soviets are crazy! While cursing in their hearts, they looked at their commander, this volunteer gunner Patty Buddha, how wise!
When the first shot was fired, Pattyvor immediately shouted: "Move to the second gun position, fast!"
Shift positions!
The sniper, I feel the most, shooting a shot to change a place, that is a necessary step to survive, a little careless, it is the death of the gods.
But now, instead of rifles, they operate cannons!
When fighting, one must obey the command. This is a basic condition. Just as Pattyvor finished shouting, two loaders, one of whom carried a box of shells, evacuated towards the second artillery position.
Several other people, according to the previous training, quickly pushed up the anti-tank guns and moved their positions.
Yes, a few people can quickly transfer positions!
This 50mm anti-tank gun inherits the advantages of the previous 37mm anti-tank gun. It is quite light. The weight of the bare gun is only 700 kg, and the bracket is less than 1 ton.
Two people pulled the outriggers, two pushed the gun wheel, and two pushed the shield. Therefore, the anti-tank gun was quickly pushed out of the gun position and moved to the second gun position next to it. These days, they have This kind of training is often carried out, and it is quite proficient. In half a minute, it is transferred.
At the same time, in this half-minute time, they have turned the corner, and the Soviet tank guns have opened fire!
Pattyvor was neither proud nor discouraged. He continued to use his binoculars to look at the rumbling tank on the opposite side. It was obvious that his own artillery shells could not penetrate the other side.
However, you can't give up just because you can't break down. Since you can't break down, you can just get close! If 500 meters is not enough, then 300 meters!
On the defensive line here, the Finnish infantry are waiting. They will not give up their positions. If the anti-tank guns do not work, they will kill the opponent's tanks even with anti-tank grenades and Molotov cocktails!
The machine gunner is ready to fire violently when the infantry behind the opponent enters the killing range! Even if they were subsequently killed by Soviet tanks, they would not be afraid!
"Boom!" At a distance of 300 meters, the 50mm anti-tank gun fired again. However, under the watchful eye of Patty, the shell accurately hit the opponent's car body, but still did not penetrate!
Can't wear it, can't wear it!
