Chapter 1284: Drilling Observation Holes (Add. 1)
The observation hole is relatively small, so it needs to be close to each other.
Now, Schmidt's eyes are firmly attached to the observation hole, looking through the slit.
Although his tank is behind, the triangular array, the three tanks, all have their own vision, from here, Schmidt can see the rear of the mouse tank in front of him, and also has the right half of the vision.
Schmidt didn't know that the little observation hole in front of him was all about it.
Distance, fifteen hundred meters, crosswind 3, Lyudmila is quickly calculating carefully, in addition to these data, there is also the speed of the other party's advance, in this case, he should estimate the amount of advance.
Lyudmila's hand grasped the rifle, and she deflected it very calmly, and then she pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" Flames erupted from the muzzle, and with the flames, a 7.62 mm bullet flew out of the chamber and spun and flew forward.
In less than two seconds, it was in close contact with the huge tank, and, just right, the bullet was going into the slit!
That's when it encountered something hard, and then it was blocked by force.
"Wow!" Schmidt only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and then the glass cracked into thin lines, and in the glass, there seemed to be something inlaid in it.
Schmidt immediately exclaimed: "There is a sniper on the opposite side who hit my observation hole, and I can't see anything clearly!" ”
Schmidt was quite unlucky, but also quite lucky.
If it was a Soviet tank, it would have been a slit, an observation hole, and there was nothing on it, but the German tank had a thick layer of bulletproof glass.
The Soviet Union's industry was not as developed as Germany's, and the glass of the cockpit of the Soviet fighter plane often had scratches, causing the pilot to see the outside clearly, let alone the tank, everything paid attention to the simplification of the production process and the expansion of production, so the tank of the Soviets was a slit, there was nothing, if there were really bullets flying in from the slit, it could only be said that the luck of the tankers was too bad.
But Germany is different.
Historically, starting with the No. 3 tank, the German tank had glass on the observation hole, and now, the German Panther tank has glass from the original model.
Having glass can have many benefits, preventing blowing sand, small flying insects and other things to blind the tanker's eyes, it is good for the tank to seal when crossing the river, and in the same way, it can also be used to block bullets!
Now, for example, if it weren't for this piece of glass, Schmidt would have died in the driver's seat by that bullet through his head, and now, it's just that the glass is gone, and he can't see anything clearly.
"Keep moving at the current pace!" Commander Cooy shouted, "Kill their snipers!" ”
When needed, the driver can operate blindly, for example, in the past, the tank could only rely on infrared headlights in the dark, but only the commander has an infrared receiving device, then the driver listens to the commander, and the commander says how to drive.
Now, although he couldn't see clearly, Schmidt was still steadily starting the tank, and at the same time, Hans was ready.
The turret of the Mouse tank is quite heavy, although the power of the hydraulically driven motor is increased, and the rotation of the turret is similar to that of the Tiger, which is very slow, but fortunately it is almost directly ahead.
Just as Schmidt was shot, the smoke from the muzzle of the gun had just risen from the opposite position, and Hans took aim at it at once.
That is, just after the opponent's shot, in less than five seconds, Hans's foot stepped on the trigger.
"Boom!"
128 mm tank gun, with a huge roar.
The entire mouse tank was shaking, and at the muzzle, black smoke came out several meters high, enveloping the entire tank, and in the black smoke, a 128-mm high-explosive grenade flew out.
Originally, tanks could not be loaded directly, and they would only be loaded before shooting, because of the type of ammunition, and the commander could order them to be loaded only when they encountered a target.
However, the 128-mm tank gun of the Mouse tank, at the time of departure, was stuffed with grenades.
They were going to attack the enemy's positions, in which case grenades were the most suitable type of shells, and at the same time, even if an enemy tank appeared, a 128-mm grenade would be powerful enough.
At the same time, the greater benefit of using grenades is that there is no need to worry about accuracy.
If it is an armor-piercing projectile, it must be aimed accurately to be able to hit the target, while a grenade, the target is within its own killing radius.
So, in the process of shelling, the rat tanks did not stop, and fired completely on the move.
With the roar of death, 128-mm shells splashed down about ten meters from the position where Lyudmila had just shot.
"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, and a large crater was blown up on the ground in an instant, countless shrapnel flew sideways, and dust rose more than 20 meters.
With the explosion as the center, within a radius of 20 meters, it is impossible for anyone to survive, and within 50 meters, if there is no good protection, it is possible to be grazed by shrapnel.
The violent explosions resounded on the position, shaking everyone's eardrums, and when the smoke of the shells cleared, their first thought was Lyudmila's safety.
And what about Lyudmila? Did you just get blown up?
"Ahem, ahem." Lyudmila coughed twice, her body was covered with dust, and her face was a little pale.
Sure enough, being a sniper is the most terrible, because they are facing enemy artillery!
Just after the shot, Lyudmila immediately ran to the next position, and her caution saved her life, but even so, she was affected by the afterglow of the explosion.
Blood coughed up from the corners of her mouth.
"Comrade Lyudmila, are you injured?" The company commander said with concern: "Now you immediately withdraw from the battle." ”
Lyudmila was not wounded by shrapnel, but she had just fallen to the ground at a nearby firing position, and as a result, when the 128-mm grenade exploded on the ground, the shock transmitted from the ground and injured her internal organs.
Lyudmila's eyes looked at the tanks in the distance, those tanks painted with black crosses, were rumbling!
"No, I won't withdraw!" Lyudmila spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with saliva and said: "I will live and die with the position!" ”
"Christoph, immediately withdraw with Comrade Lyudmila!" The company commander shouted.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound behind him, and the company commander turned his head to see that his own reinforcements had come up!
