In the beginning, Germany still used old tube radios, which consumed a lot of power, were large in size, complicated to operate, and each level of communication needed to switch frequencies, so it led to the need for a special radio officer, and the German five-person tank squad was the most well-equipped.

Now, with the progress of electronic technology in Germany, the volume of the transistor radio station has been greatly reduced, and the operation is also simpler, although there are still radiomen, and the main task of radiomen is to operate machine guns in combat.

At the same time, the commander does not need a radio officer to communicate with his superiors, and the commander can directly call his superiors on the radio.

Sub-caliber armor-piercing bullet is a special armor-piercing bullet with the latest technology that has been conceived by Ciric and turned into reality step by step by German technicians, and its most appropriate name should be called tail stabilized armor-piercing bullet, but this statement is too tongue-twisting, and it is most convenient to call it shell-piercing shell.

This kind of armor-piercing projectile is specially used for the most terrible targets, and ordinary armor-piercing shells are more than enough to deal with goods such as the T-34.

"Sub-caliber armor-piercing shells, loaded!" Bowman shouted.

The loader bent down, skillfully stuffed an armor-piercing bullet with a red mark into the tank gun, closed the gun door, and shouted loudly: "Reloaded!" ”

"Straight ahead, a KV-2, at a distance of fifteen hundred meters, ready!" Carl Bowman continued to shout.

Beside him, the gun commander steadied his pedal, and the heavy turret began to rotate, and finally, he firmly placed the opponent in the center of his optical sight.

"Thirteen hundred meters away."

In this era, there is no such advanced thing as a laser rangefinder, and the judgment of the target distance is completely based on the most basic optical laws, calculated by the scale in the optical lens of the sight.

Bowman is a young man, his brain is extremely nimble, and his mental calculations are so easy.

The driver, Hensley, in front, was concentrating on his tank, and in this kind of battle, it was important to engage the enemy quickly, and it was even more important to stop at any time.

"Distance 1,100 meters, stop, fire!" Bowman shouted loudly.

After receiving the order to stop, Hensley stepped on the brakes, and the harsh metal sound of the brake belt grinding came from the tail, and the heavy Tiger tank came to a screeching stop.

The sudden inertia sent the barrel of the tank a little downward, and then, as soon as it regained stability, the gun commander's foot moved to the firing machine.

"Boom!"

A huge cannon sound was heard, and the whole tank shuddered.

The propellant burned violently, and in less than a second, the shell was propelled to an initial velocity of 1,100 meters per second!

The speed of the projectile is related to the weight of the warhead, and the smaller the mass of the projectile with the same kinetic energy, the higher the speed.

The tungsten alloy warhead, which flew out of the muzzle, dropped two halves of the butt from its tail when it was discharged.

This small butt is the most critical device in the entire sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile, reducing the diameter of the warhead and increasing the length-to-diameter ratio, which is the most effective way to increase the depth of penetration.

The tail of the armor-piercing projectile, stretching out its dexterous wings, flew towards the opposite side.

This distance is only one second.

Inside the KV-2 tank, the battalion commander Kurilenko looked at the German tanks rushing over on the opposite side, and he was a little nervous.

Those tanks, the newest tanks used by Germany in the last Brest conflict, are said to be more advanced than the Panther 3 tanks, and their own 152mm tank guns can effectively pose a threat to them?

"Reload the grenade." He shouted to his loader.

The 2-mm gun of the KV-152 tank, which was meant to be contingency, was a shortened M-10 howitzer for the Navy.

There is only one type of ammunition for this kind of cannon, which is a 52kg high-explosive shell. Although the Navy's 1915/28 semi-armor-piercing KV-2 could also be fired, this shell was generally only used by the Soviet Navy and was in very small stockpiles. Due to the huge size of the shells, the KV-2 tank carried only 36 shells.

This is simply a pit daddy, against the enemy's armor, the use of grenades?

The answer is completely feasible, the grenade mainly relies on the explosives in the warhead, as long as the amount of explosives is sufficient, any armor can be exploded, and explosives to blow up the armor is also a way.

After receiving the order, the loader began to move the shells, first stuffing the warhead in, and then stuffing the propellant, this 52-kilogram shell, of course, was divided into parts, otherwise, how could the loader carry such shells and stuff them all?

This slow action took about thirty seconds, which is already the fastest speed.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching, and you can already clearly see the opponent's tank, and in the sights, you can even see the bolts on the opponent's tank to fix the additional armor.

The distance of the exchange of fire will soon be close to a thousand meters, and when dealing with armored targets, the best distance for them is no more than five hundred meters, and a thousand meters away, they will definitely fly.

However, Kurilyenko was surprised to see that one of the leading tanks on the opposite side actually stopped in an instant, and in less than two seconds after stopping, a puff of black smoke came out of the muzzle, and the other side opened fire!

Germany's most elite tank unit is said to be able to hit the first shot from a distance of 1,000 meters, originally Kurilyenko thought it was a legend, but he didn't expect the Germans to really do it.

"Brake!" Kulilenko shouted loudly, and with his shouting, he felt his body begin to involuntarily rush forward, crashing into the armor in front of him, and despite wearing a thick tank cap, he still felt a raw pain.

When the opponent shoots, it can be escaped by various maneuvers, after all, tanks are not as agile as airplanes, and when power is limited, brakes are the best choice.

If it was a low-profile T-34 tank, this trick might have worked, but unfortunately, they drove a KV-2 tank with a toilet head!

The main purpose of braking is to let the opponent's shells hit the open space in front of him, after all, the opponent has to arrange the advance amount according to the speed of both sides, but because the head of the KV-2 is too big, the opponent is aiming at its big head, and now he brakes suddenly, and it only makes the opponent's trajectory offset a little.

It was supposed to hit the middle of the toilet head, the position of the cannon shield, and now, this armor-piercing projectile hit the bottom part of the toilet head!

It's a flat piece, it's 110 mm thick, and now the armor-piercing bullet comes at an angle, and it has to pass through 120 mm thick.

For a tungsten alloy warhead with a thin rod, such a thickness is simply a knife for killing chickens.
