Chapter 1137: Positive Effect (Plus 1)
How long does it take to stop, aim, shoot, and start again? For an experienced tank crew, it can be controlled within ten seconds, and for a tank crew like Modlin, five seconds is enough.
At the beginning of the start, they have been aiming, just waiting for the opportunity, both sides are facing forward, at this time, only need to fine-tune the angle of the tank turret, as for the pitch of the gun body, as long as the distance is determined, the elevation angle is also determined.
Long after the start of the sortie, the loaders had already stuffed shells into the chambers, and against the T-34 tank, the zG.39 was capped armor-piercing, which was more than enough.
"Boom!" Modlin's tank guns, fire first! A puff of black smoke rose from the muzzle, and in the red-hot gas, the warhead flew towards the Soviet tank on the opposite side.
One second after his tank gun fired, the Tiger tank next to him also fired, and after another two seconds, the eight Panther 3 tanks on both sides fired almost simultaneously.
The black smoke from the muzzle of the cannon was spreading rapidly, enveloping the entire formation, and Mordrin received another order on the radio: "Keep going!" ”
An armor-piercing projectile accurately smashed on the turret of a T-34, and the turret with a large inclination angle can make the shell bounce up as if it were a splash.
However, the armor-piercing bullet was not bounced off, and the hood in front of it was smashed almost instantly, and when it was smashed, it bounced slightly, but later, the hood was smashed off.
The blunt head at the back was exposed, and it smashed to the top of the T-34, at this time, the blunt head played a strange effect, the originally flying shell, when it came into contact with the turret of the T-34, it was easy to jump at a large angle, but after the blunt head smashed up, the shell was twisted correctly.
This is the prominent role of blunt armor-piercing bullets, which can provide a good positive effect, so that the warhead is facing the shot, so that all its energy can be used and the loss is smaller!
In World War II, due to the existence of the positive effect, blunt-headed armor-piercing bullets were used in large quantities, and at the same time, because the blunt head would bring greater flight resistance, a sharp hood would be put on the front, which was the most common cap (hood) armor-piercing projectile.
This armor-piercing projectile on the German 88-mm tank gun, at a distance of a thousand meters, also has a penetration depth of 99 mm, and the 34-mm armor at a 60-degree angle on the front of the T-90 tank could not stop the German armor-piercing shell at all!
After all, this is Soviet armor, and if it is converted to German armor, it will not even be 80 mm thick.
The front hood and quilt cap are relatively soft materials, and under the impact just now, they will be deformed, or even melted or bounced off, and the real armor-piercing effect is the armor-piercing bullet in the back.
The warhead of the steel-core armor-piercing projectile in the back, like a relay race, began to carry out its own task, and it drilled at a speed of more than 700 meters per second towards the turret of the T-34.
The material of this turret is not hard at all, and at the same time, halfway through drilling, it also felt a sudden loosening in front of it and hit a large bubble!
As long as the turret is cast, it is inevitable that bubbles will appear, which is determined by the basic metallurgical principle, but the Soviet tanks, without exception, use the cast turret, because this turret is more convenient and easy to form the best bulletproof shape.
At the same time, it is also because of welding technology.
It is not so easy to weld thick steel plates, especially to ensure that the mechanical strength of the weld does not decrease, which was done best by Germany in World War II.
A few millimeters of large bubbles relieved it, and then it continued to drill forward with all its might, and finally, this time, it was completely penetrated.
"Boom!" When the shell got in, directly behind the turret, there was a pile of ammunition, which hit the ammunition accurately, and then, in a violent explosion, the T-34 tank exploded.
From the seat, a puff of black smoke came out, and then the turret jumped half a meter high from the body and fell down so hard that no one could escape from it, and they all disappeared with the tank.
The tragic war has begun!
Onward, keep going!
The Soviet tank crews knew that their 76 mm tank guns had to be within 500 meters to have enough hits, especially now that the Germans were lined up in dense formations, they were simply increasing the hit rate for their own side, and they needed to desperately close the distance between the two sides to 500 meters!
No matter the sacrifice!
There are constantly T-34 tanks that are hit by bullets and catch fire, and the tanks behind it are silently moving up to fill the gaps, and this kind of frontal steel collision is to compare who is stronger!
Soviet tank crews, not afraid of death!
By the time the bell-shaped tank formation rushed to a distance of five hundred meters, it had already fired five or six volleys, and each time even if only two tanks were hit, it had already killed about ten tanks on the opposite side!
This number is terrible, because such a bell-shaped formation, there are fifteen in total!
This means that at a distance of 500 meters from a thousand meters, the number of tanks lost by the Soviet Union exceeded 100, and this is only a conservative figure, in fact, only Modlin's own tank killed three Soviet tanks on the opposite side, and Modlin's formation killed sixteen tanks on the opposite side!
During the offensive, the Soviet tank units were already sparsely dispersed, and at this time, the commander of the Soviet 35th Tank Division had already realized that something was wrong.
If this continues, his troops will soon be gone!
As the distance approached, the hit rate of the shells also increased, and finally, the remaining T-34 tanks began to return fire.
Fire!
The gun commander stomped on the blaster fiercely, and the 76-mm shell flew towards the opposite side!
The Germans, who are actually lined up in such a dense formation, are simply looking for a fight!
The Soviet tank men roared, and their shells, one by one, flew towards the opposite side.
"Boom!" A 76 mm blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile smashed the armor of the Tiger tank, and in the battle just now, it had been in a state of being beaten, and now, it was finally about to return fire!
The blunt head also easily turned the shell and began to drill inward, but then it realized that the armor in front of it was so hard?
The hardness of ceramic armor, of course, is harder than that of Germany's densest armor steel! The 76-mm armor-piercing projectile drilled hard into it, and a lot of energy was consumed.
When its head finally loosened, it felt like it had taken almost all its strength, and it was relieved that it thought it had penetrated, and then it was hit with something its head.
Just drilled through the composite armor, and now it's the official turret armor!
