Chapter 830: Who's going to shoot the cannon
As long as you're alive, you need to fight! They were the last soldiers of the British, and they had to not only defeat Germany here, but also counterattack back to Europe, and they had the burden on their shoulders.
"Mike, Mike, quick, let's go!" Gefrey shouted to the loader beside him.
However, Mike didn't move.
Only then did Geverey notice that there was a large pool of blood beside Mike, and a piece of shrapnel had been inserted into his back, cutting a large gap.
Mike was no longer breathing.
War is to the death.
Gefrey stepped on the soft ground and ran towards his machine-gun position, and if he died, he could not be resurrected, and his only way was to pour his bullets on the Germans and let the Germans die!
ran for dozens of meters, and when he ran to his position, he was stunned.
His water-cooled Vickers machine gun was already crooked to the side, and the barrel was bent!
Change the barrel!
The barrel of the machine gun can be replaced, and when there are multiple bullets, the barrel is scrapped and replaced with a new one, but when he bowed his head and bent over, he found that the box on the side had also been blown up and scrapped!
No more guns!
Gefrey was just thinking about how to solve it, when he heard Zanog next to him shouting loudly from the gun position: "Who will shoot the cannon, who will shoot the cannon?" ”
"Me!" Gfrey shouted loudly, in the past, he used to fiddle with the 2-pounder cannon, and now, it doesn't seem to be much different from this cannon, right?
Gfrey ran to the anti-tank gun position, the first gunner, the second gunner, all killed, Zanog needed to find a new man to shoot.
The arrival of Gefrey made Zanog relax a little, and he shouted: "Armor-piercing bullets, reload!" ”
The only remaining gunner quickly loaded the shells in the ammunition box and closed the gun door, and then Zanog continued to shout loudly: "Two thousand away, ready!" ”
Two thousand away? Hearing this, Gefrey immediately shouted: "No, it's too far to hit!" ”
If it is a howitzer, it is normal to hit more than ten kilometers, but the effective range of the anti-tank gun is definitely within a thousand meters!
The M5 anti-tank gun can indeed hit two thousand meters away, but at this distance, he can't hit it accurately.
"We will expose the target, it will only make it easier for the Germans to destroy us, the Germans have a high accuracy of tank guns!" Gfrey continued to shout.
Almost at the same time as he shouted, a few dozen meters away, another M5 anti-tank gun opened fire.
"Boom!"
The cannon body shook violently, a thick flame came out of the muzzle, and a 76.2 mm shell flew out of the muzzle at a speed of more than 800 meters per second!
On the opposite side, the Panther 3 tanks, which were already densely packed with Germans!
This shell, sure enough, did not hit! It was several meters away from the German tank, and it was stuck in the sand.
However, its firing angered the German tanks on the opposite side.
I saw that the German tanks stopped, and it took almost less than two seconds for them to open fire!
More than one, at least four or five tanks, are firing!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Anti-tank guns hit tanks with armor-piercing shells, however, tank guns hit anti-tank guns with grenades, which require lower accuracy in comparison, as long as they hit nearby!
The tank guns of the Germans were very accurate, and the shells exploded almost next to the M5, and some of the tank shells even hit the gun racks!
In the huge explosion, countless sands were kicked up, dust flew, and several gunners screamed and fell to the ground.
Anti-tank guns, also with the explosion, flew high.
Zanog's face turned pale, and if it hadn't been for Gefrey's reminder, he would have just fired a cannon.
"Within a kilometer!" Gfrey shouted: "What is the penetration depth of one thousand meters of our cannon?" ”
The Germans had too many tanks, and although it would have been more appropriate to put them at a distance of five hundred meters, at that time, there was too little time left for them to fire.
"With a vertical penetration depth of 106 mm, it will definitely be able to penetrate the tanks of the Germans!" Zanog said.
Although in terms of caliber, it is the same as the British 17-pounder gun, and moreover, it is 50 times the diameter, but the power of this gun is not comparable to the British one at all.
The volume of the chamber of the American cannon was more than 3 liters, and the volume of the chamber of the 17-pounder gun reached 9 liters. More charge, of course, means a lot of energy, the British 17-pounder gun is quite high, although this leads to a low life, but on the battlefield, it will definitely not be able to use the life of the barrel, it will be finished.
There is a popular saying in later generations that the Germans are the length of the brush, the British are the brush chamber press, and the hairy likes to brush the caliber, which is different.
On the opposite side, the German Panther 3 tanks were still rushing up, as if they were going to conquer this place in one go, and everyone felt their hearts pounding.
Originally, there was a minefield in front of the position, but the German rocket artillery had already detonated the minefield in advance, and most of them could pass normally, except for some unlucky ones who would press on the mines.
Onward, onward! German armored forces, unstoppable!
"A thousand meters away!" Zanog shouted loudly.
After checking the shooting elements again, Gfrey pulled the cannon rope hard.
"Boom!" This M5 anti-tank gun, with a roar, fired its shells!
In the Mercedes-Benz tank, Karl Mauss was also calmly observing.
Knowing himself and his opponent, he is invincible, as an Imperial soldier, he is familiar with all the weapons of his opponent, but now, he finds that the other party must have new equipment!
If the opponent's first shot, he was not sure, then now, the cannonball fired from another direction made him even more convinced that the cannon shield erected high was not a rubber toy, but the real thing!
At the time of observation, the other side had already opened fire!
"Stop!" Karl Maus shouted loudly.
With his order, the driver in front stepped on the brakes, and the tank, which was several tens of tons, came to a sharp stop, which was also the most direct reaction to the enemy's shells.
This time, though, it did.
The angle of fire of the opponent was high, and it would have grazed them, but when they stopped, the shell of the opponent hit the hull in front of them and thumped.
In front of the hull, the thickness of the armor was a hundred millimeters, and at the same time, on the outside, a circle of spare tracks was hung.
The armor-piercing bullet hit the track, pierced the track, and then, drilling into the hull armor in front, drilled inward, drilled inward! As the most advanced anti-tank gun in the United States, it cannot disappoint the United States!
