When Commander Tyre desperately shouted that he wanted armor-piercing shells, the gunner named William had already stuffed the armor-piercing shells into the chamber of the Leopard tank.

Clean tactical maneuvers were the basis for the efficient killing of German armored forces. Karjus felt a slight tremor in his tank, and a single shell hit the enemy in the distance.

After all, at a distance of less than 100 meters, it is almost inevitable to hit the target accurately. This shell destroyed the T-26 tank without a single surprise.

The hit T-26 tank burst into flames, and the entire tank exploded, turning into a pile of broken parts.

The armor of the current tanks, especially the Soviet tanks with thin skins and big stuffing, is very slim and cannot contain the force of the explosion at all.

And at this moment, from the other side of the Calius Leopard tank, a powerful shell flew over and hit the side of the Calius tank.

The sides of the Leopard tank were hung with skirts of armor plates, which were actually a layer of steel plates that were not thick. This layer of steel plate can only play a partial protective role, and cannot directly resist the impact of artillery shells.

The flying shells pierced through the steel plate at once, and then hit the tracks of the Leopard tank, directly breaking a section of the tracks.

"I'm X, we've been hit!" Erich, the driver sitting in the cockpit, was the closest to the place where he was hit, and he was the first to shout loudly.

Almost at the same time, Karjus felt the shock of the shell hitting his tank, but the next second he realized that his tank had not been penetrated.

"There are enemies on the flanks! There are enemies on the flanks! Reversing! Reversing! Calyus was also startled by the blow, and instinctively wanted to retreat.

Under the cover of the buildings on both sides, the Leopard tank would soon return to a safe place if it reversed.

Then Karyus could easily think of a countermeasure to deal with the Soviet tank that suddenly appeared on the other side.

It's just a pity that when the tank's driver, Erich, pulled the lever and drove his tank to start reversing, the broken track fell quickly from behind to the ground.

Then this Leopard tank lost power on one side. The tracks on the other side were still rotating, and the body was tilted a bit.

"Bastard! It seems that something is wrong with the left side of our tank! The moment Erich found out that there was a problem with his tank, he sensitively gave up the idea of brute force.

Backwards are now not feasible, and with the tracks on one side, the only thing a tank can do now is to turn at a high angle.

If he forcibly reverses, he may turn the more fragile rear end towards the other side, so he can't continue to risk reversing now.

"Calm down! Our tanks were not penetrated! Point the turret to the other side! There's an enemy over there! He gave the order to turn the turret, and then looked to the other side through his more open viewing window.

"Tanks forward! Use the hull to follow the steering and save turret steering time! Karjus knew he couldn't run away, and all that was left was to give it a go.

As for giving up tanks, subconsciously he didn't think about it that way. This may be the occupational disease of all tank soldiers, and they are not willing to give up the Iron Brothers who fought with them easily.

A KV-1 tank was parked at the end of the hamlet, in the direction that Karyus had just scouted. It wasn't there originally, it was apparently just out there.

Although the bombardment has destroyed most of the heavy Soviet weapons and equipment here, there are still fish that have slipped through the net.

After the Leopard tank was hit, the members of the Soviet tank crew did not immediately open fire, and in their impression, their own 76.2 mm caliber cannon was also indestructible.

They were waiting for the opposing team to abandon the tank and escape, or for the tank to burn inside for a while, and then it exploded.

It's a pity that the Soviet tank commander saw not the explosion of the Leopard tank in his observation window, but the turret on the Leopard tank, turning a little bit.

"Armor-piercing shells! The enemy was not destroyed! He hurriedly gave the order to open fire and waited for his men to re-prepare for battle.

At a distance of about 100 meters, the shell did not penetrate the side of the enemy tank - this incident surprised and panicked the Soviet tank commander.

In fact, the side armor of the Leopard tank was not so thick. It's just that the luck of this cannonball is really not very good.

The shell first pierced a thin skirt of plates, and then hit the tank's tracks. The shell, which broke the tracks, had long lost the power to advance and hit the side armor, which did not have a breakdown effect.

If this shell had not hit the track, then it is estimated that by this time Kaljus would have experienced a bloodier battle.

Having said that, in fact, although the hull of the German Leopard tank has a mediocre thickness in the side armor, which is much smaller than the historical Tiger tank, its appearance is indeed more protective.

The sides of the low Leopard tank were almost covered with other fragments, such as tracks, such as load wheels, such as glove compartments, which more or less took on part of the protective function.

Such places covered eighty percent of the area of the side of the tank, leaving only a few areas of weakness.

The Soviet tank crews did not know the weaknesses of the Leopard tank, and they did not yet have the ability to capture a Leopard tank and study it.

Therefore, without penetrating the chassis of the Leopard tank, the Soviet tank crew decisively raised its barrel and aimed at the rotating Leopard turret.

In any case, it is a sign of wisdom to try again in another place after trying in one place and failing in another.

Another experience tells us that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and it is easy to give up efforts in one direction and give up halfway......

Therefore, experience is often unreliable, and sometimes the result is the criterion for the inspection process.

If you succeed, you prove that the method of effort is right, and if you fail, you prove that the process is wrong.

"Boom!" The Soviet KV-1 tank, having mastered the opportunity, opened fire again, this time the shells rushed to the turret part of the Leopard tank.

The turret of the Leopard tank was turning, and this shell hit the side armor of the tank's turret exactly that.

After a loud bang, the shell that collided with the inclined armor was bounced in a strange direction by the not huge armor tilt angle.

From their sights, the Soviet gunners could clearly see the straight line drawn by the light from their shells, which folded a strange angle on the enemy's armor.

"No breakdown!" He shouted loudly, informing his comrades of another defeat.

Then the agitation spread in his heart, because the opponent's tank seemed to be impossible to penetrate at all, and it was as strong as if it were a solid steel casting.

But the tank's turret was still turning, reminding the Soviet tankers that the opposite side was indeed a real tank, not a lump of iron that could not be fired back.

"Quick! Fast! Reload armor-piercing bullets! The Soviet artillery commander alerted nervously and loudly, and once again prepared to open fire.

Unfortunately, after two failures, he clearly felt the sweat from his palms, as well as the easily imperceptible trembling.

The second enemy shell hit the tank of Karjus, a tank with the number 111 painted on the turret, and the middle 1 was hit by the shell, and now there is only a burn mark left there.

However, everyone was surprised to find that their tank was still not penetrated, which gave everyone in the tank great courage.

"Keep turning the turret! Aim for our goals! Caljuus's hanging heart was lowered little by little, and his tank gave him an unbeatable tactical advantage.

The Führer provided weapons that had a huge advantage in the face of the enemy, which gave the German armored forces unlimited confidence.

Such confidence has always existed, from the beginning of the war to the end of the war. Although no one knows the future, it is enough for everyone to calmly face the enemy at this moment.

"I'm turning!" Gun Commander Tyre, who pressed the button and did not let go, replied loudly, he had just felt the turret being hit, but it seemed that the motor drive had not lost its effect.

As time passed, the turret of the Leopard tank was turning around little by little, and the Soviet tanks saw this scene and of course panicked.

Because of the panic, their third shell had just been loaded, and the turret on the opposite side had already turned around - this was definitely not good news.

"Fire!" The third time, the Soviet tanks made an attempt, but alas, where they were aiming, this time in front of the turret of the Leopard tank.

The shield there was more than 100 mm thick, which was heavy enough for the Leopard tank to withstand the 76.2 mm guns of the Soviet Union at such a close distance.

So, to the despair of the Soviet tank crews, their third attack hit the heavy shield of the Leopard tank and was once again bounced off.

And this time, the initiative seems to be back in the hands of Karjus. The turret of his tank was already pointed in the direction of the target, and now all that was left to do was to adjust slightly.

The tank's slender-looking 88-mm cannon was aimed at the target, and then a dazzling ball of flames erupted.

Let the enemy's tanks hit 5 times with shells, Karyus is now holding back a breath of anger, and whoever is beaten 5 times will not be in a good mood.

He pressed the throat intercom and shouted to his gun commander Tyre, "Fire!" ”

"Boom!" This time it was the German tank that fired a shell, a cloud of white smoke erupted from the muzzle of the tank, and the shell drew a beautiful straight line and rushed to the target parked in the distance.
