Chapter 1299: Coaxial Sub-Cannon
At this time, the turret of the mouse tank was turned one hundred and twenty degrees, and the flying 122-mm shell hit the side of the turret of the mouse tank just right.
At this time, the angle was also one hundred and twenty degrees, and this terrible armor-piercing bullet had a close contact with the nickel alloy armor, and then, with a whoosh, it was bounced off.
True, there was a ricochet.
This 122 mm tank gun was originally improved from the cannon, after equipping the tank, most of them were grenades, and the proportion of armor-piercing shells was quite small, because the navy had naval guns of the same caliber, so the navy instead stocked a large number of 122 mm armor-piercing shells, so now, these Stalin tanks have sufficient armor-piercing shells.
How deep can a 122 mm armor-piercing projectile penetrate? At the current level of the Soviet Union, it will not exceed 150 mm, and when converted into German armor steel, that is about 130 mm.
And the side armor of the mouse tank is also more than one hundred and fifty mm thick, so even if it is hit head-on, there will be no problems. As for now, it is just a dragonfly, and it does no damage to the rat tank.
The turret continued to turn, and finally, the muzzle of the gun was directly behind, that is, directly in front of this time, on the Stalin's tanks that were moving over!
A well-trained German tankman was ready to shoot in less than ten seconds!
Just after turning around, Hans took quick aim on the differentiation plate of his sighting device, and it took almost only three seconds to complete the preparation for the shot.
"Fire!" With a shout, Hans stepped on the blaster, and the 128-mm armor-piercing projectile flew out of the turret with a whistling voice.
"Reload!" Before the smoke cleared from the inside of the turret, the loader began to move the shells in preparation for the next shell.
Hans was still watching his target, and Kurt had already begun to look around for the whereabouts of the four tanks, and the time left for him was too short! The 128 mm armor-piercing projectile hit the turret of Stalin's tank, and this kind of turtle-like inclined armor can bounce the opponent's shell to the maximum extent, but it is also the favorite of blunt-tipped armor-piercing shells.
The 128 mm shell, without any advanced bullets, is the most common blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile, when it smashed on the turret, under the huge kinetic energy, the entire turret shook violently, and even the hull was stiffly hit and retreated dozens of centimeters, the track slid on the ground, and two furrows appeared.
Caliber and power are by no means simply proportional, and the performance of a 128-mm armor-piercing projectile is at least five times more than that of a 50-mm blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile.
Now, under the mere violent impact, the Stalin tank was already too much to bear, and then, blunt-tipped armor-piercing shells on the cast turret, began to drill into it at a rapid pace.
In front of it, a large hole appeared, and in an instant, it pierced through the main armor that Stalin tanks were proud of, and drilled into the interior.
"Boom!" Under the impact of 128-mm armor-piercing shells, and under the ensuing countless heat streams of broken armor, the ammunition inside the tank immediately underwent a terrible detonation.
At the turret's seat, a stream of hot air emanated, pushing the turret up half a meter before falling down again.
This Stalin tank, there could be no more survivors, all the tankmen were already killed, including Yuri.
Yuri's sacrifice was to buy time for the other tankmen, and the other Stalin's tanks, at full speed, drove towards the rat tank.
At the same time, the turret of the rat tank also began to turn to its right, and Coulter's voice was very low: "Fifteen degrees to the right, five hundred meters away, fire!" ”
"Boom!" With the sound of shooting, the inside of the turret was filled with gunsmoke, and the smoke machine was whirring outward, and Hans looked at his target.
Actually off target?
At the moment when the fire was fired here, the opponent's tanker suddenly stopped the tank, so that an accurate shot occurred, and Hans actually missed!
In battle, the real hit rate is quite low. (East China Zhixiong has been hitting the first shot, and many people have complained about it.) )
And in the current battle, a single miss can bring terrible big trouble, because there are many enemies!
"Boom!" At this time, a Stalin tank at the front, only three hundred meters away from the Mouse tank, stopped for a short time, and then opened heavy fire in this direction.
The 122-mm shell, with a terrible roar of death, crossed a graceful arc and flew to the rat tank on this side.
Although the accuracy of the Soviet tank was not high, and the Soviet tankers aimed very quickly, and did not have much time to aim accurately, however, the target of the mouse tank was too large, and it had no possibility of missing the target at all.
In the next second, the 122-mm armor-piercing projectile again smashed into the armor of the mouse tank, and this time, it hit the position of the hull.
The shells drilled hard inward, and in front of it, excellent nickel alloys, desperately blocked, and soon a deep pit was formed in the armor, the edges of which were melted iron slips.
The shell finally stopped, it didn't drill through!
The violent impact sound reached the inside of the tank, and several tankers did not have the slightest fear at all, and for Hans, without waiting for the loader to reload, he just quickly turned the turret wheel, turned the knob of his front control panel, and stepped on the trigger again.
"Boom!" The Rat tank opened fire again, only this time with much less movement.
The 128 mm tank gun had not yet been loaded, and Hans fired this time with the secondary gun next to the thick and large tank gun!
Yes, for a mouse tank, there is a lot of space in the huge turret, and if only one 128 mm gun is installed, it is a bit wasteful, and at the same time, when dealing with some small targets, 128 mm shells are too wasteful.
However, you can't make a multi-turret monster, and Führer Ciric doesn't like it.
So, they simply installed a 128-mm KK 44 L/36.5 coaxial secondary gun on the right side of the 36.5-mm gun.
The so-called coaxial is the same axis, installed together is side-by-side, on the tank, coaxial machine guns are quite common, the turret turns, the machine gun follows the rotation, you can destroy the enemy in front at any time, at the same time, the coaxial machine gun has another use, that is, ranging.
Before the birth of the laser rangefinder, the distance of the enemy was measured mainly by optics, the width of the opponent's tank was known in advance, and the conversion was carefully calculated in its own sights, which was too troublesome, and then the coaxial machine gun ranging was made, and after aiming, first fire a shot with a machine gun to observe the impact point, if the machine gun hit, then it proves that the aiming is correct, and then the gun is fired.
The current coaxial secondary gun is an upgraded version of the coaxial machine gun, and its ballistic characteristics are exactly the same as the characteristics of the 128 mm tank gun.
