Chapter 741: Anti-Tank Weapons

Although Tryna's side led away a lot of enemy enemies, Trode's side was still facing Soviet troops that were twice as large as him, and the pressure was still very high. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And compared to the rear position, Trood almost had to ensure that every inch of land was fighting, and he did everything possible to avoid a hand-to-hand battle.

It sounds simple, but it's quite difficult to do. Trod was unable to move his troops out of position, and all tactical adjustments were limited to completion in this small area. Moreover, compared to Hans, they did not have any spare space to deploy traps, and they had almost nothing to rely on except for the guns and cannons at hand.

However, even so, Trod did not have no countermeasures, in order to resist the enemy's fierce attack, their preparations on the cover took a lot more effort than the rear position, at least to ensure that before the enemy rushed into the position, they could only inflict quite limited damage to them, and because of this, they could ensure that their firepower would not be reduced in advance, which was also the basis for Trood's tactical adjustment.

"Click!" The distance of the battle is almost within 500 meters, and the firepower of the tanks on both sides has doubled compared to before, so the Trod No. 4 can do a lot of damage to these sturdy T-34s, and the chance of ricocheting has also decreased significantly. However, it is not said that all tanks can be lethal in one hit, it can be said that most tanks can lose a lot of abilities under a single shell, but in many cases it is a choice between attack power and mobility. Examples of this are the fact that some tanks are still able to fight back against Trod even though they have stopped, while others have a scrapped turret but can still charge forward like a zombie.

For the former, Trood would have gone to great lengths to give them a cannonball, but for the latter, Trood had already given the order that there was no need to strike them. The PAK40 used by the infantry has a higher rate of fire and accuracy than the infantry counterpart, and it takes less time to aim at targets than tank crews, so it is obviously more appropriate to hand over these weakly threatening targets to them.

Compared to the 217 squad, which has been focusing on attacking the opponent's armored forces, the Soviet tanks have a more mixed diet, not only returning fire at Trod to interfere with their firing, but also striking at the infantry extensively to reduce the pressure on their own infantry. And the infantry's means of counterattacking tanks, except for the two anti-tank guns, at this stage, there is no good way.

First of all, with the rapid progress of tanks, armor as one of the three most important performance has been continuously improved by various countries, and the traditional anti-tank guns used by infantry have no way to deal with these tanks with more than 50mm armor at every turn. Even the famous Soviet infantry anti-tank weapon PTRD-41 used by Trena could only shoot through a 25mm vertical steel plate at a distance of 500 meters. For the maturing No. 4 and T-34, even if the PTRD-41 is advanced to a distance of 50 meters, the threat to them is extremely limited, except for some extremely weak parts, such as periscopes and other areas that can strike at internal members, it can be said that it is no longer enough to do any damage to the tank itself.

When the German army entered the Soviet Union, these outdated anti-tank guns were found to be unable to keep up with the needs of the war. But there were no new weapons on it, and the infantry could only complain and continue to use them. However, this phenomenon did not change until they came to the front of the Soviet Army Group Center, especially the German soldiers, who found that their anti-tank guns, no matter how close they were, posed almost zero threat to the Soviet armored forces. In this case, most of the troops simply abandoned this weapon and transferred their ammunition to other useful weapons, and it was because of this that the soldiers were more vulnerable to the enemy's armored forces.

But one might say, don't the infantry still have throwing weapons?

That's right, although the anti-tank guns are outdated, but throwing weapons, such as cluster grenades and **************, are still somewhat effective. But it was only a little slower than those anti-tank guns to disappear from the stage of history. In particular, the German cluster grenades, when facing the British and French troops, the infantry were always able to go around the flanks of those bulky and tall tanks, and take advantage of their unpreparedness to deliver a fatal blow.

But since they came into contact with the Soviet troops, they felt that the original tactics were almost unworkable. On the one hand, because many of the Soviet tanks pay more attention to the element of speed, although the operational performance of the tank is lacking, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and its maneuverability is still much ahead of the British and French tanks. This makes it difficult for infantry to get around the side of the tank and destroy it at close range.

The second point is that compared with the British and French tank forces, the Soviet army generally has a certain advantage in numbers, and under the mutual defense, their formation integrity is much stronger. Although all the experience of tank tank warfare is lacking, in the face of numerical superiority, it is not too much of a problem.

As for the ************** of the Soviet army, at this stage, apart from being used in street battles to sneak attack some open-top combat vehicles such as the Weasel 2 self-propelled anti-tank gun, there are few achievements. Even if the frontal armor of a tank like No. 4 is covered in flames, it will generally not cause much damage except for a little suffering for the members inside.

But since there will be a demand, then the progress of weapons will certainly not stop. According to what they have heard in Trode, the Germans are experimenting with a new type of weapon called Plastic Explosive in a small number of troops, which will attach to the surface of the target like a gummy candy with sticky teeth, and explode directly on the surface of the target after triggering, although in terms of power itself, there is not much improvement, but it can deal damage to the enemy at a closer distance, which of course can cause a more considerable effect, and it is rumored to have a good effect on most of the current tanks.

However, now Trood is not equipped with this new weapon, so they can only rely on the barrel of the gun in their hands to win. (To be continued.) )
