Chapter 1549: There are only two left
The German turret, which did not turn fast.
One theory is that if you turn fast, it is not easy to improve the accuracy, depending on the gear density of the seat ring. At the same time, the biggest reason is the weight of the turret.
The turret is certainly not manually rotated, the turret is driven by hydraulic or electric power, which has a driving limit, and when the power of this auxiliary is not enough, the turret cannot rotate fast.
For the German crew, this was not a problem, although they could not turn the turret quickly, but they had another trick.
Turn on the spot.
At this time, the ground was already all mud, and the tracks, which were more than a meter wide, began to rotate.
The right side of the forward, the left side of the backwards, when the front Schmidt killed the steering wheel, the chassis of the tank received the order to turn in place, and the whole tank began to turn in place with the center as the axis.
If it was on hard ground, this brutal operation could have some terrible consequences, such as the track falling off during rotation, and it would be a big problem, but now, the ground is extremely slippery, and when the track turns, it pushes the side out of the mud more than half a meter high.
The hull was rotating, and so was the turret, and as they rotated together, the muzzle of the gun was spinning rapidly.
Inside the turret gondola, the vision of the gun commander, Sergeant Calpanet, changed rapidly.
The Soviets also moved quickly.
"Boom!" A burst of fire erupted from Yakov's gun, and a 152-mm armor-piercing shell flew towards the opposite side, at which point the German tank was turning, and they were fast, but only half of the turn, just turning the widest turret to the side of him.
Huge shells flew towards the turret of the Mouse tank, and then made close contact with the armor on the side of the turret.
It smashed open the armor on the outside of the turret and began to drill inside, and at the same time, its speed dropped rapidly, and soon, it stopped.
There is no penetration.
This is true for ordinary tanks, which are the thickest in the front, followed by the sides and the smallest in the back, but this is not necessarily true for the rat tank, which is 240 mm thick in the front, and the sides and back are indeed thinner, only 220 mm.
This difference is nothing at all, a 152-mm armor-piercing projectile cannot penetrate the front, and the same cannot penetrate the sides and back!
If the opponent really wants to have a result, attacking the walking gear below is the right way, provided that the depression angle is sufficient.
The rat tank is absolutely safe, there is no need to worry about any risk of being penetrated, and now, listening to the sound of being hit again outside, the people inside the turret don't care at all, and in front of Sergeant Calpanette's eyes, the target finally appeared.
Let's fire in turn.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
SU-152 after SU-152 were named.
When the third car was shot, the opponent suddenly puffed black smoke from the engine in the tail and began to retreat!
The Soviets, also know to be afraid? Where did you run with all the momentum you just had?
Yakov was not afraid.
Now the Soviets, the armor force is very small, and the shortage of fuel makes it difficult for them to move forward, at this time, the SU-152 is of great significance, they can destroy the German Tiger tank head-on.
They are what is most needed at the front.
As a result, in this light rain, a new German tank was accidentally discovered, and Yakov had planned to kill this tank to boost his own confidence.
As a result, more than a dozen of his own tanks were destroyed, and he was deeply impressed by the opponent's terrible firepower, terrible rate of fire, and terrible mobility.
At the same time, his last effort failed.
He originally planned to go around to the back and destroy it, but when he found that the back could not be destroyed either, it made no sense for him to continue fighting.
It is his mission to keep the last two Su-152s and go to the front line to deal with more Tiger and Panther tanks, not to continue to consume them here.
So, Yakov ordered a retreat.
In the drizzle, it was easy for them to get out of the rain and leave, and it would have been easy to get out of the battlefield.
At the same time, they had two tanks, disengaged from both directions, making it easier to escape.
They can't move forward, that would give the other side a chance, they can only go backwards.
If it is a tank with an advanced hydraulic transmission system in the future, the reverse speed is as fast as the forward, then it can escape, but the Soviet tank does not have this function.
Its reversing was quite slow, because it had taken the lead, it did retreat into the rain, according to Yakov's plan, after retreating a certain distance and being completely safe, then it could continue to move forward, so that it could bypass the other party and retreat quickly.
However, his ideas were naïve.
When he found that two tanks had retreated, Hans knew that it was impossible to completely annihilate the other party today, and by now, he had killed more than a dozen tanks, and this battle, the record would be the envy of many tank commanders.
Now, he can only take out one more, no more.
Which side to chase?
Hans had no other way of judging than to rely on his instinct to choose the one on the left.
In the tanks of this era, the driver was still on the left, so that by pursuing the tank on the left, the driver could find the target earlier.
"Chase the enemy on the left, don't let it run away!"
With Hans's order, Schmidt stepped on the accelerator again, and the body of the rat tank, more than a hundred tons, swayed and began to accelerate, and at the tail, a puff of black smoke came out.
The gasoline engine was rumbling, the current entered the motor, which was converted into power, and the tank began to roar forward.
In the rain, it seems that everything is hidden, where is the enemy?
Schmidt's gaze looked ahead, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Turn on your night vision." Just then, Hans gave the order again.
Now, active infrared night vision devices are almost the standard configuration of all armored troops, and some infantry have also begun to be equipped with individual night vision devices, which rely on infrared headlights to find targets equipment, mainly used at night.
And now, Hans had a whim, and in addition to the night, there are certain advantages to using it now.
The moment the infrared headlights were lit, a columnar white fog appeared in front of them, which was the release of infrared rays, which made the surrounding water vapor immediately transpirate, and in an instant, the distance they could see was more than doubled.
He could only see 30 meters away, but now he could see at least 60 meters away, and then, Schmidt was happy, and the fleeing chariot appeared in his field of vision.
Catch up!
