Chapter 827 ME63 (5th Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

The air was filled with tank exhaust, and tank tracks made a sound on the grassland. Looking around, all I could see were Soviet tanks. The leading ones still had red flags on their turrets, waving in the wind, looking very majestic. They really performed a "steel torrent" drama in front of Qin Chuan.

"Armored soldiers, get ready!" Olbrich issued a battle order.

The German tanks adjusted the angle of their turrets one by one, and aimed their guns at their prey like hunters.

"Fire!"

With Olbrich's order, the German tanks roared at the Soviet tank group one after another.

At this time, the German "No. 4" tank was replaced with a long-barreled 75MM caliber anti-tank gun... It is actually somewhat different from the anti-tank gun PAK40.

The difference is that if the anti-tank gun is used as an anti-tank gun by infantry, there is enough space behind it, so the shell can be made very long... A longer shell means that more gunpowder can be loaded, so the warhead can hit farther and penetrate deeper.

But if this anti-tank gun is installed in a tank, it will not be the same... The space in the tank is limited, and too long shells will not only affect the operation, but also require a longer length for recoil.

Therefore, it is necessary to modify it appropriately, that is, shorten the recoil mechanism and shorten the shell, and give this gun a new name KWK40.

Because the shell is short and the charge is small, the "No. 4" tank gun does not have the ability of PAK40 to penetrate 102MM at a distance of 1500 meters. Its penetration at 1500 meters and 1000 meters is 77MM and 85MM respectively.

But this penetration is enough to destroy the T34 with only 45MM armor thickness on the front.

One after another, T34 stopped and emitted black smoke under the attack of German artillery, and the HS129 in the air swooped down again and again to fire a series of shells at the tanks... Soon, the plain was full of tank wreckage, broken down, burning, and even exploded and shattered.

But the Soviet tank torrent was not frightened by this loss. They continued to bypass the tank wreckage in front and continued to advance, although this would slow them down and sometimes even expose the side armor to the enemy's guns.

Gradually, the Soviet tank group approached the German defense line.

After all, the Soviet army had an advantage in numbers, and it was advancing at full speed towards the German army, so the German army only had a few minutes to react.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Eberhard glanced at Qin Chuan nervously.

Qin Chuan knew what Eberhard meant. The enemy tank vanguard had approached 800 meters, and it was time for the 1st Infantry Regiment to take action.

But Qin Chuan did not do so, because he noticed that there were only more than 100 tanks in this wave, and more than 40 were destroyed during the charge.

If the battle continued like this, these more than 40 tanks would probably be almost gone when they rushed to the German tanks... There was no need for ME63 to take action at all.

Qin Chuan believed that the Soviet offensive would not be so simple.

So, he did not respond to Eberhard, but raised his telescope and looked across the plain to the opposite side.

Sure enough, after a while, another group of tanks appeared in the aperture of Qin Chuan's telescope, one layer after another, so dense that there was no end in sight.

"Here they come!" Qin Chuan said.

This wave is the main force of the Soviet tanks.

The Soviets are very smart. If all the tanks are deployed at once, it will cause the tanks to be too dense.

This will not only make the tanks easily covered or killed by enemy artillery fire, but even the wreckage of the destroyed tanks in front will block the way forward for the tanks and cause congestion... In the case of inferior penetration at long distances and superior numbers, the Soviet army hopes that its tanks can rush into the enemy tank group for close combat.

Once a congestion occurs, it will be fatal to the Soviet tanks.

Therefore, attacking in batches is a better choice.

"Battle preparation!" Qin Chuan ordered: "Try to choose a target at one thousand meters!"

"Battle preparation, target one thousand meters!"

"Battle preparation, target one thousand meters!"

...

The order was passed down.

1500 meters, the speed of the Soviet tank group is getting faster and faster.

Due to the opening and obstruction of the tanks in front, it is even difficult for the German tankers to find or aim at them... The tank crews have limited vision in the tank cabin, and with the interference of the first wave of tanks and wreckage, they have not even discovered that another wave of Soviet tanks has rushed towards them until this time.

1300 meters, the Soviet tank group has stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

This is how marching on snow is. It takes a certain distance to accelerate, otherwise the tracks will slip on the snow without significantly increasing the speed.

The Soviet army was obviously very experienced in this regard, so they let the first wave of tanks cover the front and the main force could follow closely behind and attack at high speed.

1000 meters.

At this time, the German tanks seemed to have discovered more tanks behind them, so they soon became chaotic... Everyone knows that with so many tanks and such a close distance, a tank "hand-to-hand combat" seems to be inevitable.

At this time, Qin Chuan shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Fire!"

"Swoosh"

With a burst of rocket-like whistling, one ME63 after another with a long tail went straight to the target.

ME63 obviously does not have the problem of tank vision, so they can easily observe, find and choose their targets.

There is even some coordination between them... There may be a waste of several operators choosing the same target at the same time when choosing targets. This has been solved during training. They should first solve the target in front of them.

The wind on the plain is strong, blowing the ME63 tottering while moving.

According to common sense, they should have deviated from the target long ago, but under the control of the operator, they were "pulled" back again and again and went straight to the Soviet tanks... This scene stunned everyone, including the German soldiers.

They couldn't believe that there were any artillery shells that could adjust their trajectory during flight. This was simply a fantasy.

But this is the fact, because at this moment, ME63 had already hit the tanks one by one accurately and burst into a cloud of smoke, and then the tanks slid forward for a while and stopped moving.

Qin Chuan roughly calculated that the hit rate was much better than expected... 20 ME63s hit 8 tanks, which was even higher than the one-third hit rate during the exercise.

Qin Chuan thought that this might be because the operators were camouflaged with white cloth and connected to the white snow.

Of course, another reason was that the Soviet army did not know that these rockets were controlled by operators, so they did not know how to suppress them.

But in any case, the Soviet army was doomed to lose this battle... Their nightmare had just begun.
