Chapter 272: The Great Battle on the Mountaintop
Miho's IV is a flag car, and it is still very safe to park relatively far back, but the other tanks are not so lucky.
The first to be attacked was the fireflies of Oarai.
Come to think of it, fireflies, a thin-skinned cannon-filled chariot, naturally have a great hatred value.
A number of Tiger Kings set fire to this firefly at the same time, and the members of the Discipline Commission were killed before they could react.
Although the body is blocked by cover, the turret still has to be exposed, the turret of the Firefly is not too thick, and the 8.8cmKwK.43L/71 of the Tiger King can be said to be how to fight and how to wear.
Most of the shells hit the dirt of the bunker, and only one hit the Firefly's turret, but that was enough to take out the Firefly.
A white flag stretched out from the top of the Firefly turret, signaling that the vehicle was officially out of battle.
The second to suffer was the M3 Lee, whose body was so big that the bunkers couldn't cover it, and a large part of the body was exposed, making it very vulnerable to attack.
In the face of 88mm armor-piercing shells, the armor of the M3 Li was useless, and it was killed with one shot.
"The Ducks and Rabbits have been killed!"
"I know, don't panic."
Hearing Miho's voice, the people of Oarai were a little relieved.
While Miho was calming everyone, Hua on the side launched an attack.
The power of 7.5cmKwK.42L/70 is very powerful, but it is still not enough to penetrate the Tiger King from the front.
The cannonball hit the head of a Tiger King, and it was bounced off in an instant, and the Tiger King was still unscathed.
The Tiger King immediately stopped, slowly turned the muzzle, and launched an attack on Miho's IV.
The cannon soon rang out, and a PzGr.39 armor-piercing projectile flew towards Miho's tank.
At such a close distance, it was naturally impossible for the gunners of Hesse to fly, and this shell accurately hit the turret of the IV.
Fortunately, Miho's IV has been upgraded and equipped with a Panther F-shaped turret. The defense of the conical cannon shield is very strong, and it directly bounces off the cannonball of the Tiger King.
"The gap in combat power is too big......"
Looking at the battle situation in front of her, Miho frowned.
The Tiger King of Hesse Peak hit Da Xi with one shot, while the chariot on his side hit the Tiger King only with ricochets and did not penetrate.
Fortunately, the chariot on Daxi's side is not powerless, and there are still people who can punish the Tiger King from the front.
A shell-piercing shell was fired from the muzzle of the Centurion MK.II, and the shell of the shell automatically detached, leaving only the core to continue flying.
The core of the projectile flew at an astonishing speed of 1200 m/s and hit the head of the Tiger King.
The APDS fired by the 17-pounder gun has an armor-piercing ability that is even stronger than Pan's HVAP, and it is no problem to penetrate the head of the Tiger King at this distance.
This Tiger King was directly destroyed, and the white flag was slowly raised.
In World War II, the maximum rate of fire of a 17-pounder gun was 10 rounds / min. Due to the lighter training shells used in the lane, the rate of fire could actually be a little faster, 12 rounds per minute.
In other words, if Hesse left Liligi's centurion alone, their eight chariots wouldn't last a minute.
"All car groups, priority is given to the centurion."
Even at the foot of the mountain, Maho cares about the battle on the mountain all the time.
After giving the order, the various crews pointed their guns at the centurion.
"Watch out for the Wildcats!"
Miho also saw this scene and immediately reminded Liliji.
"I can't help but kill as many vehicles as I can before I get destroyed~"
Liliki looked very helpless, but there was nothing she could do, although the bunker protected the body of the chariot, but at the same time, it also sealed the chariot's movement.
The body protection of the Centurion MK.II is still very good, at least the Tiger King can't be penetrated, but the turret protection is an eternal pain.
The attack on Hesse Peak was not long in coming, but with the centurion's large depression angle, Liliki only let the chariot go out with half of the turret exposed, which was very difficult to hit.
The shelling of the Hessian either fell on the mound in front of it, or flew over the top of the turret and hit the slope behind the centurion.
The 17-pounder gun was reloaded quickly, taking only 5 seconds. Immediately after reloading, the Centurion launched an attack on another Tiger King.
Soon the cannon sounded, and another APDS flew out.
APDS is still very easy to fight the Tiger King, and it can directly penetrate the main armor of the Tiger King, and you don't even need to aim at the weak points.
As a result, another Tiger King was shot by the centurion and had to raise the white flag.
When Hesse Peak faced St. Gloriana, because the difference in combat power between the two sides was not too big, St. Gloriana did not get the bullet type to be corrected.
In the absence of APDS, St. Gloriana's Centurion MK.I, could not inflict any damage on the front of the Tiger King at all.
It was only now that the chariots of Hesse Peak had seen the true strength of the Centurion, and they didn't even need to aim carefully to hit the Tiger King head-on, and they could be penetrated with a single shot.
In terms of rate of fire, accuracy, and penetration, the 17-pounder gun that fires APDS is definitely the first gun in comprehensive capability in the battle lane.
"All Tiger Kings, rotate the body 30° to resist bullets!"
It seems that it has been too long since I have encountered a chariot that can penetrate the main armor of the Tiger King from the front, and Maho was also caught off guard, and now I remember to ask the Tiger King under his command to put an angle.
By swinging the angle, you can increase the angle of incidence of the opponent's shells, thereby strengthening the bulletproof effect of the body.
"Attack that Tiger!"
"Yes!"
The Tiger King can meet the enemy at an angle, but the Tiger Hunter without a turret can't do it, so Liliki decisively let her gunners turn to attack the Tiger Hunter.
The gunner quickly turned the muzzle of the tank to the Tiger Hunter and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, immediately pulled the trigger.
The flight speed of the APDS is very fast, and at this distance, by the time you see the fire of the 17-pounder gun, you have already been hit by the APDS.
Before the Tiger could react, it was hit into the fighting compartment by an APDS.
The front of the fighting compartment of the Tiger Hunt is 250mm thick, but it still can't stop the erosion of APDS, so it can only be judged as destroyed unwillingly.
The power of the 17-pounder gun's APDS is simply devastating, and there is no tank in World War II that it cannot penetrate head-on.
