The wheeled infantry fighting vehicles of the Germans were harvesting the lives of Soviet soldiers, and at this time, the Soviet soldiers fell like sheep, under the strafing of the Germans' machine guns.

The scene was very brutal and bloody.

A machine gunner was crawling in the grass, trying to greet the Germans with his machine gun, but just as his machine gun was about to fire, the 40 mm tank gun on the opposite side opened fire on him, and several shells exploded around him, blowing him apart.

Not all of them fought bravely, and when the most die-hard people were killed, the rest of them began to run backwards involuntarily.

There are fewer and fewer people resisting, but that doesn't mean there aren't.

Ostrov is one of them.

He was walking at the back of the line, and as soon as the German tanks appeared in front of him, he knew that the situation was not good, and if he turned around and ran at this time, it was possible to run away.

But he didn't, he still remembered his mission.

He put down his long rifle from his back, opened the front bipod, and aimed the thick muzzle at the front, and the huge butt was just right for him.

This gun, unlike the Monasingan rifles that the Soviet infantrymen were equipped with, in terms of length, even without bayonets, it had reached a terrible length of one meter seven, almost about the height of a man.

Therefore, this gun cannot be carried behind him, almost all of them are carried, just like carrying a bamboo pole, the muzzle of the gun is facing the sky, and it looks quite majestic.

This is the anti-tank weapon of the Soviet infantry, the anti-tank gun.

Dealing with enemy tanks alone has always been an inescapable problem, and the German solution was to use recoilless guns, while the Soviet solution was anti-tank guns.

This kind of weapon, in fact, has been around since World War I, when the Germans first invented it.

If you want to penetrate the opponent's armor, you need to have enough energy, and for the guns, on the one hand, it is necessary to increase the caliber, and on the other hand, to increase the length.

Increasing the caliber increases the weight of the warhead, increases the charge, and thus increases the kinetic energy of the warhead, while increasing the length of the barrel can increase the work of gunpowder, thereby increasing the muzzle velocity of the warhead.

Anti-tank guns, such a thick and long thing.

The Soviets never gave up on the study of anti-tank guns, and in previous years they had proposed a total of 15 designs of anti-tank rifles of caliber from 12.7 mm to 25 mm in design units across the country.

After a large number of experiments and investigations, the proposal proposed by the Soviet Scientific Research Group on the Range of Soviet Light Weapons won the welcome of the Soviet high-level. (NIPSVO, the same guy who designed the 14.5 high-altitude bullet)

Their product is the current PTRR-39 anti-tank gun, which has a caliber of 14.5 mm, which is quite a compromise solution, because if the caliber is too large, the recoil on the human body is quite large, and it will threaten human life.

If the caliber is small, the power is not enough.

After the trial production of this gun, it penetrated the 20 mm armor placed at 20 degrees at 500 meters and the 30 mm armor at 100 meters using only ordinary bullets.

And after the use of a special warhead, it is quite possible to reach a penetration depth of 50 mm, which is quite against the sky for an anti-tank gun.

Historically, such guns were not mass-produced, because Germany fooled the USSR, and their armor was not 50 mm thick. Historically, Germany's No. 3 and No. 4 were really not very thick.

But now it's different, the Germans' tanks have never been able to penetrate them, they are simply a sharp sword hovering over the heads of the Soviets, and the Soviets have thought of all kinds of ways, such as the current anti-tank guns, although they can't penetrate the armor of the Germans' main battle tanks, but after all, they are also good high-power weapons, so, although the production is complicated, the troops are equipped in small batches, so that the troops will not be caught off guard in front of the enemy's tanks.

If you can't penetrate the opponent's main armor, you can also hit something else, such as the slit in front of the tanker, aiming and shooting, 14.5 mm bullets can fly in, such as the opponent's track, if it is broken, it is also possible, and even, when you go around, hit the opponent's side and tail, it is possible to penetrate it, and you will not be helpless.

And now, against the wheeled armored vehicles of the Germans, not to mention, absolutely no problem!

Ostrov narrowed his eyes, he held his breath, pointed at the wheeled armored vehicle that was moving towards him, and then pulled the trigger.

"Tom!" A 14.5 mm armor-piercing incendiary grenade flew out of the muzzle of his gun, and although the muzzle had been retracted, there was still a huge recoil force, and for a moment, his shoulder felt as if he had been slapped with a shovel, and it hurt very much.

He got up, grabbed his rifle and ran.

In many military forces, snipers are awesome, and the sniper with Barrett is even more awesome, in fact, the front of the sniper is to add two words, called cannon fodder sniper!

No matter how powerful a sniper is, is there a powerful artillery? If you hit people with guns, they will bombard you with cannons, and your location has long been exposed!

Especially for large-caliber rifles, the recoil is also quite large, and if there is no muzzle brake, the recoil will knock people away.

It may seem mysterious to say, but in fact, the muzzle brake is very simple, that is, at the front end of the muzzle of this anti-tank gun, there is something like a horizontal plug, which is much wider than the barrel, and there is a small hole in the middle, so that the bullet can be fired.

At the same time, when the bullet is fired, the expanded gunpowder gas behind it also rushes out, and a large part of it hits the reflective surface of the device, and makes part of the air flow turn around and discharge through the side holes, thus providing a deterrent force.

Well, this gas does reduce the recoil of the gun, and at the same time, when the gas spreads to both sides, it also blows up the things on both sides.

For example, where Ostrov was just now, the dust flew up several meters high! A battle-hardened soldier will be able to locate him in no time.

Run, run, run slowly, you're dead!

The sniper must be particularly physical, in addition to carrying this big gun, he must also run fast!

"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion was heard a few hundred meters away, and he managed to take out an infantry fighting vehicle!

But at the same time, other infantry fighting vehicles also discovered his hiding place, and in an instant, two or three infantry fighting vehicles, not stingy with ammunition, 40-mm shells, tom-tom, flew out of the muzzle and fired in the direction of Ostrov!
