Chapter 457: It's Just a Piece of Paper

With the sound of cannonballs, a blazing flame came out of the horn in the second half of the section, and the rear was surrounded in an instant, and this scene was definitely more spectacular than launching a bazooka. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

These flames spread backwards to a distance of fifty meters, and from a hundred meters away, you can feel the heat!

Smoke fills the air.

The operation of this cannon is quite dangerous, but its power is also quite unheavenly!

This is a 75-mm gun after all! The warhead, flying at a speed of 365 meters per second, flew towards the French tank, which was already approaching a thousand meters on the opposite side!

At this distance, it flies for about three seconds.

When he spotted the flames on the opposite side, Bailey shouted loudly, "Turn left at full speed!" ”

The other side has fired a cannonball, no matter what kind of shell it is, in short, it will definitely be a threat to its own side, how to deal with this threat?

You can brake suddenly, or you can steer immediately, depending on where the threat is coming from. If it's on the side, the brakes are the best way, and now it's almost frontal and it's a direct shot, then the brakes won't work.

Only turn!

However, Bailey made a mistake.

If the speed is fast enough, then his steering can still dodge, but now, even the S-35 tank, the speed is too low!

Hearing his order, the tankman pulled the brakes on one side, the left track locked, the right track was still turning, and just like that, the tank brushed the ground and turned to the left.

If he had been given two more seconds, he would have been out of danger, but now, only after the steering was completed, and the hull was still in the outline of the projection just now, the shell flew over!

If the muzzle velocity of the shell is high enough, such as more than 700 meters per second, then at this time, the opponent can be killed directly with kinetic energy, which is the principle of armor-piercing shells.

But now, the recoilless gun belongs to low-pressure guns, and the muzzle velocity of the muzzle is too small, and it is not enough if it hits directly, so this flying shell is not an armor-piercing shell, nor a grenade, but an armor-piercing shell!

In this era, the main force of anti-armor is still ordinary armor-piercing shells, but all kinds of new anti-armor ammunition are being developed rapidly.

Among them, the principle of armor-piercing shells, dates back to 1888, when the gathering effect of a column of explosives with a dimple was discovered.

However, it was not used effectively until before World War II, during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, when the German intervention forces first used armor-piercing shells.

However, it was not popularized until the early stage of World War II, when it was discovered that when a thin metal cover was lined with a thin metal cover on the dimple of the explosive charge, the armor-piercing power of the charge was greatly enhanced, which led to the widespread use of the shaped energy effect, and it has been shining ever since.

A cone-shaped metal medicine shield plays a role in converging the metal jets, so to speak, an idea, changing the world.

The advantages of being a traverser must of course be reflected, so the further application of the energy gathering effect has long been overcome by German military experts.

Just like a reflector gathers light, a copper conical medicine shield is used to gather metal jets!

At this time, this 75-mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the middle of the S-35's hull.

When it hits it, it is as if a piece of surface has been flattened, and the front end is instantly subjected to tremendous pressure, which triggers the mechanical fuse, and the explosives in the warhead explode violently.

Behind the copper cone, the shock wave from the explosion hit the metal liner at a speed of 8,000 meters per second, concentrated at the apex of the cone.

Under this pressure, the entire metal liner is compressed towards the bottom of the cone, and the pressure is concentrated on the midline of the cone. The compressed metal liner is stacked together and pushed outward from the center of the bottom of the cone.

Under tremendous pressure, these metals are sprayed outward in a straight line at a powerful speed of 8,000 meters per second, which is the armor-piercing principle of armor-piercing bullets, using metal jets!

This powerful jet of metal slammed into the S-35's armor, and its powerful kinetic energy forced the steel structure of the steel armor to flow liquid around it, giving way to a tunnel.

If you can cut one side, you can see the domineering of this metal jet at this time.

At the same time, the head of the jet is also constantly spreading around, and the jet is constantly consumed, and the energy of the follow-up metal jet is insufficient, after all, the explosion is only a matter of a moment.

Now, entering the final stage, there are only two results, if the jet is completely consumed and still cannot penetrate the armor, it will not be able to penetrate the opponent. Otherwise, the armor is destroyed.

What is the result now? The tank, of course, was destroyed!

According to the theories of later generations, the penetration data of armor-piercing shells is at least five times the diameter, that is, a 75-mm shell can penetrate more than 300 mm of armor!

Of course, in fact, it will definitely not reach such a high, but it is still effortless to break through the S-35.

The S-35 belongs to the 20-ton class of tanks, and the armor protection is already not weak, the thickness of the frontal armor of the turret is 55 mm, the thickness of the body armor is 40 mm, and the weakest rear part is also 20 mm.

According to historical data, the tank gun at this time was about 37 mm to 50 mm, and it could withstand.

However, in front of the current LG40 recoilless gun, it is just a piece of paper!

The metal jet, almost without hindrance, effortlessly penetrated the 40 mm armor, and when the first beam of heat entered the inside of the hull, in an instant, the entire inside of the hull burst into flames!

At this time, the temperature of the metal jet was still several hundred degrees, and the speed was several thousand meters per second, and everywhere it went, it was a fire.

A trickle of streams splashed onto the 75 mm ammunition, and in an instant, a violent explosion was created.

"Boom!" In the midst of a loud noise, the ammunition exploded.

The small turret, at this time, was directly lifted away by this huge air current, as for the people inside, of course, it was impossible to live, this is the fate of the tank crew.

When the tanks are hit, the tanks are their metal graves.

The destruction of this tank instantly stunned the other tankers.

What's going on?

If the other side is a tank, then forget it, they can still accept it, but now, what does the other side have? Just a few broken motorcycles, and they actually destroyed their own tanks?

It's just horrible! Especially the other tank that was close to this tank, after witnessing the explosion inside, was already frightened.

"Quick, hang up the reverse gear, retreat!" The captain shouted.

If they continue to charge resolutely and decisively at this time, then they should be able to advance through, after all, only one motorcycle on the other side has this kind of big killing weapon, and the other motorcycles are all machine guns.

However, they were frightened.

When the whole country was shouting for peace, the soldiers also lost their blood, and almost none of their front-line soldiers had gone through that cruel war, and they did not have the courage to fight to the death.
