792 tanks never seen
"Tanks! Tank! Just as Stalin was preparing to leave Vladimir, on the outskirts of Moscow, a Soviet soldier was shouting loudly in the distance.
Over there, a tank they had never seen before, a new Leopard, was slowly approaching their position.
The front of the Leopard tank, without the course machine gun, turned out to be a complete steel plate in the frontal armor of its hull.
When dealing with this steel plate, the artillerymen of the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery found that their old tricks did not work very well......
Previously, they preferred to shoot at close range, aiming at the opening of the Leopard tank's course-oriented machine gun.
Although it is almost impossible to hit the heading machine gun of a moving Leopard tank, it is a solution.
As long as you are lucky and really hit this place, it will be possible to penetrate the front armor that the Leopard tank could not have penetrated.
It's a pity that this trick is not feasible now, because the Leopard tank canceled that damn course machine gun, leaving the front without a weak point.
In doing so, the frontal protection of the Leopard tank was improved more than a little, and it was thought that without the heading machine gun, the integrity of the upper armor was better.
Without an opening, there is no hidden danger of breaking from near the opening. This is very similar to today's mobile phone screen, if you open too many holes in the mobile phone screen, it is easy to cause the mobile phone screen to break.
"What kind of tank is this? It is not a Leopard tank for the Germans! A Soviet soldier pointed to the approaching tanks in the distance and shouted to his commander.
"But it's a German tank!" The Soviet officer shouted in a depressed voice, and then pointed at the tank and shouted: "Anti-tankers, destroy it!" ”
"Phew!" A soldier with an anti-tank rifle pulled his trigger. The huge recoil made his whole body tremble.
This anti-tank weapon, with a caliber of more than 14 mm, is actually a giant single-shot rifle.
The rifle had to be fixed to the position with a bipod and then pressed the butt on the shoulder to barely get a single shot.
The huge recoil will make the internal organs of the firing soldier tumble, and if you are not used to it, you may vomit out the breakfast or lunch you just ate.
However, because of the low cost of construction and the lack of anti-tank weapons in the Soviet army, this anti-tank rifle has become a relatively large heavy support firepower in the Soviet army's arsenal.
At least, the Soviet soldiers who were equipped with such weapons had more or less some reliance in their hearts - with anti-tank weapons and without, when facing the enemy's tanks, there were definitely two feelings.
Although, in fact, this anti-tank weapon is not very useful...... For example, this time, the bullets fired did not penetrate the front armor of the Leopard tank.
In fact, even if the Soviet anti-tank gun had its muzzle pressed against the armor of the Leopard tank, it would not have been able to penetrate the German Leopard tank.
If you hit it from the side, at the closest distance, in the weakest place, it may cause some damage, but it is almost impossible to penetrate.
Only in the rear, and at a sufficiently close distance, to find a very good angle, will it be possible to achieve the effect of penetrating the Leopard tank.
It's a pity that when the Leopard tank is penetrated in the tail, it hits the gearbox of the tank directly, and it can't kill the members of the tank crew inside.
The bullet from the anti-tank rifle flew in a straight line onto the front armor of the Leopard tank, and then slammed a spark out of it there before being catapulted into the sky.
Everything is so obvious, and everything is so logical. It would be a joke if an anti-tank rifle of less than 20 mm caliber could penetrate 100 mm thick inclined armor.
The German infantry, following behind the German tanks, had already rushed to the vicinity of the first trench, and three new Leopard tanks were rampage in front of the Soviet positions like three rhinoceros.
They covered 5 assault guns No. 3 behind them, as well as 3 No. 4 tanks. These armored vehicles, which covered a large number of soldiers, had already begun the battle to capture this line of defense.
"Wreck them! Fast! Fire! Wreck them! The Soviet officer pointed desperately at the German tank in the distance and gave the loud order to open fire.
"The Germans have rushed over! If we don't retreat now, it's too late! A soldier turned his head sideways and shouted to the officer.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet flew over and hit the soldier's head, which exploded like a shattered watermelon......
“@#$%……!” The officer retracted his head and subconsciously cursed, only to see the headless corpse fall in front of him.
The blood was still flowing, carrying the soldier's body heat. The officer was so frightened that he looked at the edge of the trench and did not dare to poke his head out again.
Although it is very difficult to aim at a head on the battlefield, and even if someone aims at it, there is a high probability that they will not be able to hit, but no one wants to risk their head.
Bullets were flying outside, and before the Soviet officer had time to muster up the courage to poke his head out, he saw the soldiers around him retreat into the trenches.
"Comrade Company Commander! The enemy tanks are coming! Right above your head! The soldier shouted as he pointed to the edge of the trench.
Then the Soviet company commander saw the tracks of the German tank run over the trench where he was, covering the sky above him at once.
He tried to run away with his legs, but his legs were already limp—no one wanted to be under a tank and wait for it to run over his head.
Don't think that if you crouch in a trench, you won't be afraid, it's just an illusion of imagination. When a tank actually rushed overhead, eight adults would be so frightened that they peed their pants.
"Come here! Come here! Not far from the Soviet company commander, a Soviet soldier waved at him and motioned for him to hurry up.
But the company commander did not dare to move, so he could only lie there and wait for the tank tracks to drive over his head.
The darkness was over, and the moment the tank's chassis moved over his head, the sunlight poured into the trenches again, and the company commander saw the light.
It is a pity that he saw not only the light, but also the German grenadiers behind the German tanks, pointing their rifles at him.
"I ......" As soon as he opened his mouth, the Germans standing on the edge of the trench pulled the trigger, and the bullet passed through his chest, and the huge force pushed him into the trench at once.
His back hit the wall of the trench and he turned his head to look at the soldier who was beckoning to him, who had also been sieveed by bullets......
The pain spread, and the company commander closed his eyes.
