Chapter 1378: Worthy of Respect
If you hadn't driven down from the log just now, the flying 122 mm shell would have hit the Tiger tank, and the weak armor on the top of the Tiger tank would definitely not be able to block the attack of this shell, especially if it was an ordinary blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile, which could easily smash the top of the Tiger tank under the positive effect.
It's a pity that now, it flew away, grazing the roots of the radio antenna, and startled the people around it into a cold sweat.
At the same time, the slender and long armor-piercing projectile that flew past had reached the top of Stalin's tank, and after it struck downward, it was then ejected.
Yes, it was bounced again!
After reducing the rotation speed of the armor-piercing projectile, the ricochet rate of this shell-piercing projectile has been greatly reduced, but now, under certain circumstances, the ricochet will still occur, which is a problem that cannot be solved in later generations, or why the Leopard 2 tank should add a milk cover, just for the ricochet.
Now, although the German tank only fired at an increased depression angle, when the shell came into contact with the top of the turret, it had an angle of 70 degrees to the normal of the turret, which was too large and easy to ricochet.
Stalin tanks, sinking even more.
"Reload!" Inside the turret, Yuri shouted loudly.
"Our engines will soon be submerged." The loader said, "Let me push the mud out of the way." ”
"No, you can't go out, it's too dangerous." Yuri said, "And, we need you to reload the shells quickly. ”
"I'll go!"
The driver shouted loudly and opened his hatch.
Since the tank could no longer move, the driver was the most relaxed one, however, just now he did not come out.
Because he was in the front, if he had come out of it, he might have been hit before he could climb to the back.
But he had no choice, and now he was left idle.
He pushed open the hatch and was about to climb out.
"Tom tom!" The 40-mm chariot cannon came in his direction, and the fierce artillery fire made sparks fly.
It's amazing!
Just when the German tank troops arrived, of course, these infantry fighting vehicles were not idle, they had been waiting for the opportunity, and when they saw that the other party was still coming out, of course there was no need to hesitate, go straight on!
The driver gritted his teeth and jerked out again.
"Tom tom!" A shell hit the front of the car accurately, and the driver screamed and fell off the car.
The driver was killed?
The three men inside the turret, who didn't have time to care about this one, were quickly reloading.
Originally, the reloading speed of the German Tiger tank was far higher than that of the Stalin tank, and many times, the Stalin tank had only one chance to shoot, and it would be destroyed by the Germans.
But now it's different.
If the German tanks want to fire, then they have to go back and reload the logs, which will take time, so that even the Stalin tanks will take the lead!
"Boom!" The Stalin tank opened fire again, and in the heavy shelling, the whole body was seen to tremble, and continued to plunge into the mud, and then the engine in the tail let out a strained roar, and puffs of black smoke came out.
"Teng, Tengteng." The engine is off!
The mud has blocked the air intakes, there is not enough air, and the engine simply does not work!
"Manual!" Yuri shouted loudly.
Fortunately, the turret doesn't need to move much, if the turret turns half a circle, the manual can exhaust people to death.
In the mud, there was a slight movement.
The driver, covered in mud, got up from the swamp, grabbed the toolbox outside the car, and climbed up hard, with a puddle of blood flowing behind him.
One of his arms was gone, the pain caused him to faint, and the sound of the fire woke him up again, and when he saw that the engine was no longer smoky, he knew it was off.
It took almost all his strength to climb onto the back cover, and then, with his remaining arm, he carefully cleaned the mud.
"Tom, tom!" When the clay figure was seen and continued to climb up and clean the engine, the infantry fighting vehicle in the distance opened fire again.
Countless shells flew over, and in the back of Stalin's tank, the cover of the engine continued to explode, and when the artillery fire was over, only a bloody mud mixed with minced flesh was left on the engine, and no one was in sight.
"Shoot!" Yuri knew what was going on when he heard the voices outside, and there was only anger in his eyes, take out the enemy tank!
"Boom!" The Stalin tanks opened fire again, and at the same time, on the opposite side, several Tiger tanks, at the same time, began to fire at him!
Originally, I thought that the leading Tiger tank would be enough to destroy it, but who would have thought that it would be so difficult to deal with, so when the battalion commander in front continued to prepare to shoot, several Tiger tanks in the back also concocted the same method, turned the hull of the tank in a different direction, adjusted the angle of the hull, and then opened fire.
Blunt-headed armor-piercing bullets!
When they found that their shells had missed, they also knew that there was a ricochet, so they replaced the shells with ordinary blunt-nosed armor-piercing shells and started firing again.
"Boom!"
Smoke rose from the muzzle, and 88-mm shells flew out of the barrel and flew towards the turret of Stalin's tank at high speed.
"Boom!" The shell smashed heavily on Stalin's turret, and the first shell, Stalin's tank actually blocked it, and the shell drilled a big hole outside, but it did not penetrate through.
Then, the second, the third...
"Boom!" Stalin's tank, under heavy blows, suddenly exploded.
Because the hull of the car was already all in the mud, only the turret was exposed, and now it seemed as if it was in the mud, and suddenly there were shining fireworks, and the turret actually flew up a meter high, and then fell to the side.
Karl Maus opened the turret of his tank, showed half of his body, and saluted the Stalin tank opposite.
Although he was an enemy, his opponent earned his respect.
In the situation just now, the other side surrendered was the best option, but the other side still fought until the last moment, and even the last shell almost wiped out its tank.
Karl-Maus looked at the top of his turret, and the additional piece of armor was all shattered, and the 122mm warhead was embedded in his own turret and armor, and it was almost penetrated.
"Hurry up, don't let the Soviets' tank units run away!" The order of the division commander came from the headset.
