Chapter 1285: The Battle of the Tractor (Added 2)
The N1 tank drove up, and after learning that the Romanian army on the opposite side had received tank reinforcements, Petrov in the rear immediately sent the tractor tanks he had just obtained, and these tanks were in the rear of the position anyway, so they moved quickly and finally arrived at the battlefield.
The internal space of the tractor tank is narrow, in fact, it is the location of the original tractor cab, welded with steel plates around it, and the turret is added to it, and the entire tank can only hold three people.
A driver, a commander and gunner, a loader.
At this time, Lieutenant Badakhov, who was inside the car, was looking ahead through the observation hole, and his face changed when he saw the terrible German tanks that were climbing up.
"Quick, armor-piercing!"
Badakhov didn't have the confidence to destroy the other party, but he at least had to give it a try, just before he came, he received an order that the Romanian army had tank support, and they thought it was the kind of light tank in the Romanian army, and the 45mm anti-tank gun could easily destroy it, who knew that it came up, and it was terrible to see such a big guy!
"Boom!" The 45-mm anti-tank gun roared, and with the sound of the gun, the entire turret was filled with gunsmoke.
This hastily transformed so-called tank is only capable of firing, and there is a lack of effective smoking equipment in the turret, so as soon as it fires, it is such a scene that no one else who is dozens of centimeters away can see clearly.
Badakhov coughed while putting his eyes close to the observation hole, their anti-tank gun did not have an effective sighting device, so he didn't know whether it hit or not, but the opponent's size was so big, he could hit it with his eyes closed.
Yes, the only drawback of the mouse tank is that it is too large, which makes it easy for the opponent to aim and hit, but the 45mm gun is like tickling for it.
The shell hit the main armor in front of the Mouse tank, and the 240 mm thick armor was only hit with a shallow pit, and even the Mouse tank did not intend to return fire at all.
Using the 128mm gun of the mouse tank to fight such a thing is too big and too big to use.
Of course, without the use of rat tanks, a Tiger tank on the side of the formation has already opened fire.
Lieutenant Zwwedi's eyes were fixed on the sighting device, and his hull trembled as he gave the command to fire, this brand new tank, the interior still smelled of fresh leather, and even the tank gun had only fired a shell.
88 mm blunt-tipped armor-piercing bullets, with a sharp whistle, flew to the tractor on the opposite side.
Since it was a back attack, the position where the shell hit was exactly on the diesel engine more than two meters long in front of the tractor.
The engine of the tractor is in the middle of the front, just like all kinds of cars of this era, the outside of the engine has been wrapped with armor, but unfortunately, the armor a few millimeters thick, in front of the 88-mm armor-piercing projectile, is simply like papier-mâché.
When the warhead and the armor came into close contact, the armor in front was opened a large opening, and the armor-piercing bullet drilled into it, and then, encountering the high-horsepower diesel engine.
The armor-piercing projectile continued to drill forward, opening a large hole in the cylinder block of the diesel engine, knocking the connecting rod and piston into the air, and at the same time, the speed of the armor-piercing projectile became slower and slower.
When it almost penetrated the engine compartment more than two meters long, it finally stopped.
At this time, the engine had been completely destroyed, and all kinds of flying parts made the outer shell ping-pong, and the three people inside the turret in the back survived the attack.
The engine can block armor-piercing shells, so in later generations, the Israeli Merkava tank, deliberately put the engine in front, it was intended to block shells, although it was effective, but it could only be fired once, and it was scrapped immediately.
The engine stopped working, and the N1 tank became an iron lump, and the three people in the turret did not intend to give up.
"Armor-piercing bullets!" Badakhov continued to shout.
He knew that the time left for his side was already measured in seconds, and during this time, they had to fire as many shells as possible, hit the enemy, even if they couldn't penetrate it, destroy their external equipment, and pour their own shells on them!
The loader also recovered from the shock and continued to reload the shells, while Badakhov shook the wheel with his hand and began a new aim.
It's a pity that their speed was too slow, and in front of the well-trained German tank crews, they had only one chance to fire!
"Boom!" Lieutenant Zwedi's tank, the second shell went out again, this time, his gun commander aimed slightly higher.
The 88-millimeter blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile pierced the air, emitting a Doppler whistle before hitting the turret above.
The armor in front of the turret bent sharply, and a large hole appeared, and then, in the back of the turret, a large hole was also cracked.
This blunt-tipped armor-piercing projectile pierced the entire turret!
When it came out, it still had a lot of speed, and continued to fly forward, and at the same time, under its drive, the entire turret fell behind, revealing the inside of the turret of this N1 tank.
The flesh inside was a blur of flesh and blood, and there was not a single complete corpse in sight, and when the shell penetrated it, it was carrying a large number of fragments, which turned all three people inside into minced meat.
It didn't explode.
The engine compartment in front was in shambles, and the turret above flew away and turned into an open-top tractor, which just stayed quietly on the battlefield, as if telling something.
"Go around, let's hit each other's sides!" On another N1 tank, Belenko shouted loudly.
The tanks that rushed up were too strong for them to confront from the front, so they could only destroy the other side by going around to the side.
No other way!
The driver, Troyvich, pushed the lever, and a puff of black smoke came out of the engine in front of the tractor and began to rush down.
"Turn left, turn left." Belenko shouted.
Trojvich pulled the left lever to make the tractor turn to the left, but unexpectedly, when he pulled, the tractor turned to the right instead!
"Operate in the opposite direction, you idiot, didn't you say you used to operate a tractor on a farm before?" Belenko cursed loudly.
The steering of the crawler tractor is complicated, specifically, which side is turning, pull the operating lever on which side, let the track on this side stop rotating, and the other side continues to walk, and it turns around.
However, if you pull which side when going downhill, although the power is cut off, because of the downhill, it turns faster and turns in the opposite direction.
Trojvich would love to say that I haven't driven a mountain road! But he could not say anything, he released the lever while pulling on the other side, and as a result, the force was too strong.
The ground beneath your feet suddenly flipped over.
