Chapter 332: I'm Not Afraid of Bombardment (Plus Change)
Now, the latest ammunition is still under development, but for ordinary armored targets, the most basic steel-core armor-piercing projectile is enough!
The 75 mm armor-piercing bullet hit the armor of the armored train, and if it hit the turret, it might be blocked, but the armor of this hull can only be protected against machine gun bullets, only 20 mm thick!
You must know that the size of the armored train is very large, only 20 mm thick armor, the weight of the car manufactured is as high as 77 tons, if it is added to 50 mm, then I am afraid it will be more than 100 tons! Far more than the railroad can handle!
Needless to say, the current long-barreled 75-mm tank guns, even the short-barreled 40 anti-tank guns, at a distance of a thousand meters, can penetrate 116-mm vertical steel plates, and it is no problem to deal with the T-34, not to mention the current armored trains. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
20 mm of armor will not be able to block 75 mm armor-piercing shells at all! It easily tore through the armor of the armored train, and, after that, got in!
What's inside? Cannonballs, of course!
Under the turret, more than 200 shells were stored, and at this moment, 75 mm shells easily got into the middle of a pile of shells.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion was heard, and the entire carriage was in flames! From a distance, you can see the flames of this carriage, which are more than ten meters high! The turret at the top, at this time, was completely lifted off!
One Shot! This is the advantage of the long-barreled 75mm gun, and the crew of Weitmann just now can be regarded as extremely fast!
However, at the same time that the opponent's armored train was destroyed a carriage, 100-mm shells fired by the opponent also flew over like this!
The shell hit the gun shield of the Panther 3 tank hard, and before dying, the Polish gunners actually played an incomparably high accuracy!
This is also to blame on Weitman.
In this day and age, shooting on the move is absolutely nonsense, and if you want to fire, you have to stop, so, just now, Wittmann's tank, is stopped.
When he opened fire, he also saw that the other party was firing, so, at the moment when the shell flew out of the muzzle, he gave an order: "Full speed ahead!" ”
If you want to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, you have to rely on the maneuverability of the tank, now, it is not good to go backwards, after all, behind him is the tank of his comrades, and in the dictionary of armored troops, there is absolutely no retreat, you must move forward!
So, Wittmann ordered his tank to move forward, and as a result, just after the tanker stepped on the accelerator and the hull of the tank squirmed forward, a sound was heard that shocked everyone.
It was the sound of the armor-piercing projectile hitting the tank, and the steel tank was amplified by a cavity effect inside.
Could it be that you are going to be penetrated!
For the armored troops, this voice is terrible, which means that death is coming, and the only way for them is to believe in the protection of their tanks!
At this time, the 100 mm pointed armor-piercing projectile was drilling vigorously into the armor of the gun shield! Its pointed tip, constantly squeezing the armor.
The armor of the gun shield is deformed, and this is completely a battle of hard against hard.
If the armor is deformed to a certain extent, it will break, and the projectile will continue to squeeze the armor in all directions, forming a perforation. If the caliber of the projectile is much greater than the thickness of the armor, there will be a situation where shear and punching will be dominant, and the armor defense capability will be greatly reduced.
If the warhead has exhausted all its kinetic energy before it is pierced, then the attack is considered ineffective.
And now, of course, the latter case!
The Panther 3 tank is a 40-ton powerful tank! The most critical gun shield, with a thickness of 130 mm! And with an inclination, all of them are of the finest nickel alloy steel, so that even the frontal attack of the Soviets' 85-mm tank guns can be blocked.
Although it is a 100-mm shell, it is a field artillery, and it is not a specialized anti-tank gun at all! As a result, it did not penetrate even half of the gun shield of the Panther 3 tank and lost all its speed!
"Boom!" Half-drilled warhead, falling off the gun shield, it reluctantly gave up, this is not a task that it will be able to accomplish at all!
Attaboy! Inside the car body, Wittman's crew immediately cheered.
Their tanks, worthy of their trust, even blocked 100-mm field guns!
Now, they're going to keep rushing over and keep firing!
For armored train No. 53, there is now a dilemma.
In one of the carriages in front, there has already been an explosion of ammunition! The explosion of this carriage also caused heavy damage to the carriage behind, and a large number of Polish soldiers on it died in an instant!
And behind this carriage, there is the railway locomotive, and the driver in the front of the car has only one choice.
Reversing!
The explosion just now, the railroad track in front has been damaged, and if you drive over it again, you will definitely have to derail, so you have to reverse it! Moreover, the first two carriages have to be abandoned!
"Take off the hook!" The driver shouted loudly, and on the side of the front of the car, a Polish soldier, who was quickly crossing over, was about to take off the hook in front of the car.
When it's time to give up, you have to give up, otherwise, the carriage behind you will also be finished! The tanks of the Germans, simply invincible!
It's a pity that they still don't have a chance!
The railway passed through the woods, and on both sides of the railway, there were still a few meters of clearing, and now, in the open space on both sides, tanks were rushing at high speed!
Wittmann's tank, still rushing to the front, he only killed one compartment with one shot, and now, with a few more shots, he can also kill the carriage behind!
The other side has another 100-mm field gun, but it is arranged in the rear of the car, and at this time, it can't be turned around at all!
Kill the locomotive in the middle first, and the other party won't be able to run!
With the tank's engines roaring and its tracks rattling, the Panther 3 tank was moving swiftly along the railway line.
And here, the armored train is in a hurry.
"Quick, quick!" The train driver shouted.
The Polish soldier's hand reached the position of the hook, and at the moment when he had just pulled the hook, the front of the car had already moved!
"Ahh
The gushing blood made him unconscious in the next second, and at this time, the train gasped and left the platform.
Fighting is cruel, for the sake of more people's lives, some people must be sacrificed, this is a must, many times, knowing that sending out subordinates is death, then it must be sent!
Like now!
The train driver could not hesitate any longer, the tanks of the other party were already very close!
The barrel of the opponent's cannon is turning around!
"Boom!" Wittmann's tank finally arrived, and at this very moment, Wittmann fired!
With the firing, the hull of the car trembled violently, and the 75-mm armor-piercing projectile roared out again!
