Soon, the warhead of the rocket came into close contact with the front end armor of the Panther 3 tank.

On the battlefield, there are not many times when you can hit the front armor of the hull, and in general, it is the turret armor that hits.

This is because in a normal firefight, both sides are almost at the same height, and when shooting at each other, the probability of the shell hitting the front of the turret is the highest, taking into account factors such as the ballistic bending caused by gravity.

Therefore, the armor on the front of the turret is also the thickest of all tanks, and the thickness of the main armor of the Panther 3 here has reached 130 mm, all of which are the best nickel alloy steel, so that the Panther 3 tank can withstand the frontal attack of the 85 mm tank gun.

Even if it is an 85-mm shell, it is not afraid, and now, the caliber of Bazooka is only 60 mm, but the depth of penetration cannot be calculated in this way.

It uses the principle of a shaped warhead, which penetrates the opponent through a metal jet.

Moreover, Aiken was aiming in the shell crater, almost only half of his body was exposed, and the bazooka was less than half a meter above the ground, so he shot almost upwards with his head up, and when the shell hit, it hit the hull armor that was directly opposite, almost from the position between the radioman and the driver, and there was close contact.

The armor here is only 100 mm thick.

When the warhead hits the armor, the huge pressure brought by the collision immediately triggers the mechanical fuse in front of the warhead, and inside the copper medicine cover, the explosion of the explosives forms a strong heat, melting the front medicine cover, and then forming a hot metal heat stream with a temperature of more than 1,000 degrees, rushing towards the armor in front of it, as if a high-pressure water gun can easily blow through the mud layer, in front of it, the metal is like soft bread, as long as it can be broken with a fork.

The heat flow of the metal is rapidly impacting forward, in fact, it is not positive, the heat flow has a declination angle of about ten degrees, which makes its impact distance longer, in the process of impact, the heat flow is constantly cooling and decelerating, which is similar to the hard hitting of armor-piercing bullets.

If you can penetrate the opponent's armor before the energy of the metal heat flow is exhausted, the armor will be successfully pierced, and if the armor is still thick after it is exhausted, it will not be able to penetrate.

This silent contest lasted only a short moment, and this stream of heat successfully penetrated the excellent nickel alloy armor of the German football, and then, pierced into the back.

The temperature of the metal heat flow was still five or six hundred degrees, and the moment it penetrated, a huge flame emerged from the small hole and swept through the entire inside of the tank.

Under this flow of heat, no one could be left alive, and several tankmen inside were instantly turned into roasts, and at the same time, this flame ignited the shells inside. "Boom!"

The tank was martyred, the huge explosive energy of the ammunition came out of the pressure relief plate at the back, and the entire rear of the tank was billowing smoke, due to the timely pressure relief, the turret of the tank was not overturned, but it had also lost its combat capability.

The power of the bazooka is very powerful, just take the historical data, the German Iron Fist 30 has a range of 30m and an armor-piercing depth of 140mm; The Iron Fist 60 has a range of 60m and an armor-piercing depth of 200mm; The Iron Fist 100 has a range of 100m and an armor-piercing depth of 220mm.

It can be seen that no tank can block the fire of such a single weapon, even a mouse tank, and the frontal gun shield is only 180 mm.

As for Bazooka, there are two versions, one is the vertical armor-piercing thickness of 127 mm, and the other is the armor-piercing thickness of 76 mm at the time of incidence at a 60-degree angle. (Maybe it's a statistic after conversion.) In short, Bazooka's body of the Panther 3 can be penetrated, except for the frontal artillery shield, other places can't withstand Bazooka's blow!

(Of course, there are many theories, some say that this thing is chicken ribs, and historically even the main armor of the Leopard type cannot penetrate it, and it cannot beat the T-34-85.) Now, according to East China's heroes, let's set it to just penetrate the frontal hull armor of the Black Panther 3! It's a later improved Bazooka. ）

At the beginning, Ciric had concerns about getting the bazooka out, and it was from this point of view that it was simple, effective, and an infantry anti-tank weapon of mass destruction, which was not good for Germany.

Wrecked, frontal wreck, for the first time on the entire Soviet-German battlefield, the infantry, using the weapons they wielded, actually destroyed the terrible ferocious tank!

When this scene was seen, all the Soviet defenders in the positions behind were boiling.

They could see very clearly that the American reinforcements, the marmots, were lying in ambush in front of their position, and they watched as they opened fire with their pipe-like weapons, and the tail burst into flames, and then they saw that the tanks on the opposite side were destroyed.

If they had this weapon in hand, they would no longer have to be afraid of the tanks of the Germans!

"Great!" Grevich shouted: "You are simply our saviors!" ”

"What kind of weapon is this? It's amazing, and we need it too! ”

Hayasi said quickly, "Bazooka, we all used to call it. ”

The name of Bazooka quickly spread throughout the entire defensive line, and at this time, there was no pessimism in the positions, and they regained their courage and would definitely be able to defeat the Germans on the opposite side.

When they found out that the infantry could destroy their tanks, would they dare to charge like that?

Of course you dare!

At this moment, the battalion commander Westhagen found the location where the target was hiding, only fifty meters away from his side, and at this moment, he gave the order: "Fifty meters in front of the right, fire coverage!" ”

One of their own Black Panther 3 tanks was actually destroyed, which made the German tank crews present angry, no one thought of retreating, they wanted revenge, they wanted to kill the enemy in front!

On the right side of the triangular queue, the remaining four Panther 3 tanks immediately poured a dense rain of bullets over.

They move quickly, and at this distance, the tank gun cannot fire due to the limitation of the depression angle, so they can only use machine guns to kill the opponent!

There was little time wasted, and just as they spotted the flames, they turned the turret, and at the same time that their own tanks were destroyed, a dense barrage of bullets had already been fired.

"Snort!"

As the bullets flew away, Aiken felt countless bullets hit his body, and under the impact of the bullets, his body fell backwards, and he staggered back a few steps, and his body retreated to the back of the crater.

Blood was gushing out of his body, and his life was only a few seconds left.

"Aiken!" Seeing him like this, Carl shouted loudly: "You can't die, I'll take you back and go to the doctor to save you!" ”

"A pig's head that speaks broken English." By this time, Aiken was still using this familiar mantra: "I'm stupid at home, I'm hopeless." I've taken out a tank, I've taken out five German devils, I've earned it, now it's your turn, don't disgrace you guys from Hawaii. ”

With that, Aiken's head finally tilted to the side, and he stopped breathing.

The bazooka in his hand was still bloody, and Carl wiped away his tears and picked up the bazooka.
