Chapter 831: First breakdown
The warhead of the armor-piercing projectile keeps digging inward. This is a contest between spear and shield, and it depends on who has the best skills!
However, it still stopped, just a dozen millimeters away from the end of the armor, it stopped helplessly, it still didn't penetrate!
In theory, it has a penetration depth of 106 mm, but that is only theoretical. In practice, there are many restrictions. For example, the German armor is denser, that is, harder. At the same time, the front is attached. A section of the track has increased its thickness, and in this way, it is blocked!
For the tankers inside the car, this is not the first time that this has happened. They firmly believe that their tank will not be penetrated!
"Fire, grenade, kill it!" Carl shouted loudly at this moment.
No matter who it is, if you want to challenge the German armored forces, you have to pay the same price. For example, now, they have to be prepared to be killed!
Almost less than a minute, the roaring shell flew towards the opposite side! Carl was in the sight, looking at the situation on the opposite side, and found the gun shield on the opposite side, slowly moving forward!
Yes, the opponent is actually shifting positions, but they are not backward, but forward!
Several people pushed the anti-tank gun, and advanced a few meters to the front, which made them pant. This is a big guy with more than two tons!
Then Zanog shouted loudly: "Tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets, reload!"
Yes, when ordinary armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate the opponent, then tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets should be used! This is almost the consensus of all countries in the world. The higher hardness of tungsten means better armor-piercing ability. Even in later generations, it is still the king of tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles.
The only drawback is that this thing is too expensive. Now, when he found that ordinary armor-piercing bullets could not destroy the opponent, Zanog immediately ordered the armor-piercing bullets to be replaced!
Now, the other tank of the opponent is moving up, and the distance has been shortened to 700 meters!
After twisting the muzzle and re-aiming, Gefrey pulled the gun cord again.
"boom!"
The second shell flew out of the barrel with their hope. If it has not penetrated this time, the anti-tank gun supported by the United States is a fire stick!
"Quick, reload again!" Zanog shouted loudly.
This time, there was no hit! The opponent's tank, which was swiftly moving, made a chic turn, making the shells on this side empty!
Not every shot can hit, in fact, on the battlefield, with a one-fifth hit rate, he is the ace gunner!
A precious tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet was wasted like this. They didn't have time to feel distressed, and a new armor-piercing bullet was stuffed in again.
"Boom!" Later, this shell was fired out again!
At almost the same time, they also felt a louder explosion sound in their ears, and the counterattack had begun! A grenade exploded just a few meters away from them!
At this moment, Gefrey's body just leaned against the shield, and the fragments hit the shield, banging loudly, and after the sound, he was unscathed.
A section of intestines hung on the gun door, and it was red everywhere. He removed his intestines with his hands and shouted loudly, "Armor-piercing bullets!"
Another loader gritted his teeth and stuffed the cannonball with his only arm!
"Ready!"
The two of them are the only artillery remaining on this gun position.
In fact, in the brutal war of World War II, anti-tank gunners have always had a very high death rate because they are the primary targets of the opponent’s tanks. At the same time, they can only have a high enough rate within one kilometer. Precision, they have nowhere to get away, they can only fight bravely, and destroy each other before they open fire!
Goffrey returned to the gun position and made fine adjustments again. The last shell still failed to hit. At this time, the tank on the opposite side had already moved 400 meters away!
The opponent has stopped and is about to fire!
"Go to hell!" Geffrey pulled the cannon rope fiercely.
With a fierce whistling, this tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet flew out again!
The penetration depth of a shell is related to many factors, among which the distance is also very important. The closer the distance, the greater the storage speed of the shell, and the higher the penetration depth.
Like now.
If it hits the gun shield, it will also have no result, because the Panther 3 tank's gun shield is 130 mm thick. Only when it hits the front of the car body can it have hope!
And this time, it did not hit the front spare track, after all, the spare track could not protect all positions.
In this way, it drilled vigorously in, drilled in, and then loosened its head and went in!
In front of it, there is the radio operator on the right side of the car body. When the shell penetrated in, the radio operator's head was gone!
The cannonball continued to fly forward, passed through the turret basket, interrupted the gunner’s legs, and got into the ammunition rack behind.
"boom!"
The entire tank made a huge explosion, and the pressure relief plate at the back opened quickly, preventing the turret from being lifted off. However, in the huge impact, it was impossible for anyone to survive inside the tank!
Smoke of gunpowder emerged from the pressure relief plate, and the British soldiers on the opposite side suddenly became excited.
Breakdown, breakdown! This was the first time ever, they finally pierced the German tank from the front!
In an instant, countless people cheered, and some people paid attention to the anti-tank gun that destroyed the opponent’s tank~www.novelhall.com~, but found that all around the anti-tank gun was full of explosive air currents, at least ten More than one shell exploded around it!
Carl was angry.
On the battlefield, his tank can strike mines and cause mechanical failure, but it must never be penetrated from the front by the opponent!
"Attention, pause, search the opposite side, and find anti-tank guns with gun shields, fire them immediately and kill them!" The anger did not make Karl lose his mind, he was more careful, the kind of anti-tank guns with high-altitude gun shields. , It is possible to penetrate them from the front!
In this case, kill them ahead of time!
In fact, it is not only the M5 that can penetrate the Panther 3 from the front, but also the British 17-pounder gun. Unfortunately, the British only produced a relatively small number and deployed it to the suburbs of London. As a result, first of all What they encountered was the mouse tank, which made it impossible for them to play at all. Moreover, the British were not equipped with tungsten alloy shells.
There is no weapon that can keep ahead, the only thing is to continuously improve and develop new technologies!
