Chapter 917: Hanging the Challenger

The German troops here were stunned in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The British, really dare to fire! Moreover, these tanks of your own side have not been beaten at all!

Whether it is the M60, or the Leopard 1, it is impossible to survive in front of the 120-mm tank gun of the Challenger, what to do?

As for the surrounding German people, at this moment, they are even more scattered, damn, the tank guns are so powerful, one shot will blow the tanks here into slag!

This thing is more powerful than a machine gun! After all, the machine guns of the British, they did not dare to really open fire on the population immediately, they fired at the sky, and when they found out about the behavior of the British, they were not afraid.

But this tank gun is too shocking!

A hint of coldness flashed in Commander Eller's eyes, he should have done this a long time ago! Give the other party a lesson and see if the other party dares to come up!

"Boom!" Just then, another explosion rang out.

What's going on? Are these bunnies addicted? I only ordered one shot?

If you can't let the conflict expand, then try not to expand, knock out a tank, if the situation can be controlled, then try to minimize casualties, although there is mental preparation, Commander Eyler still does not want to go to court-martial.

Therefore, hearing this explosion, Commander Eller was stunned for a moment, it was obvious that someone didn't listen to his orders?

Wrong! This sound is not the sound of your own firing a tank gun, but the sound of your own being shot and the tank exploding!

Inside the radio, the stinging jamming was mixed with a frightened voice: "Damn, to our left, a new tank unit has appeared!" ”

"Oh no, they are not M60 tanks and Leopard 1 tanks!"

The base here is walled, and when Commander Eller attacked, a section of the wall on this side was damaged, and his tank troops were in these places, and at the same time, the people who made trouble were also concentrated in these places.

But now, just to the east of them, new tank units have appeared! They smashed the wall, and they came this way!

Although the specific outline cannot be seen in the night vision device, NATO troops often conduct military exercises and are quite familiar with their equipment, and these tanks that collide are definitely not M60, let alone Leopard 1!

If it's not these tanks, then what else can it be? They were terrified, after all, the terrible answer, they did not dare to imagine.

The Challenger tank is equipped with advanced infrared imaging night vision devices, and the commander and gun commander have independent sights.

The low body, the hull and turret with blocky reactive armor, and the thicker and longer barrel, this kind of tank is the T-72 tank that has kept NATO like a great enemy!

"It's the T-72 tank, it's the army of the Soviets!" The commander shouted, and at the same time, gave his artillery commander command the target, ready to attack the Soviet tanks on this side!

It's a pity that the opposite tank moves faster!

"Fire!" Captain Karl shouted over the radio.

When it came out of the station of the Second Army of West Germany, Karl's tank regiment was even stronger, with more than 30 Leopard 1s and M60s joining, making his actions more certain, and at the same time, in the United States' equipment preset warehouse, Karl's tank regiment also took the opportunity to replenish fuel, saving the time of waiting for fuel trucks, and Karl went straight to the location of their intended target for this offensive mission, Nerfenich Air Force Base!

Originally, this base was intended to come over with several tank units, but Karl, who rushed the fastest, of course, did not have time to wait for the gathering of other tank units, so he rushed over directly with his troops!

Moreover, when he was about to arrive, Karl worked out tactics to let these agitated officers and soldiers of the Second West German Army, drive these tanks, to advance from the front, and at the same time attract the attention of the British, and then, Karl's tank regiment, attacked from the flank!

Karl's tactics were successful, and when tanks appeared on this side, all the attention of the British was on the tanks of the West German rebels opposite the main entrance, and they did not find a new tank unit that had smashed through the wall from the side! And at this time, this tank unit is exactly on the side of the Challenger tank!

It is impossible for any tank to add all its armor to the same thickness, so it will become an overweight giant and lose its mobility.

Just when it was discovered that a new tank appeared on the side, the tanks on the side of the Challenger tank unit turned their turrets one after another, and just before their turrets were turned over, the 125 mm tank guns on this side had already begun to roar!

In the darkness, the flames from the muzzle of the cannon are so dazzling!

When the shell was fired, the entire hull was shaking, and with the fluttering of the hull, the 3BM42 armor-piercing projectile flew away from the barrel!

At this time, depleted uranium armor-piercing shells were still very rare, and apart from the United States, only the Soviet Union mastered the technology of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells! And this armor-piercing projectile is the most commonly used armor-piercing bullet in the USSR using depleted uranium as a rod-piercing material! (Unlike the historical Soviet 3BM42, which was introduced earlier)

Due to the large aspect ratio, the armor-piercing depth of this depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile is up to 700 mm! And now, even the frontal part of Chobham's armor has absolutely no 700 mm level of protection, let alone the sides!

In the war of the island country, the effect of this armor-piercing projectile is very significant, it can directly tear through the frontal armor of the M1 main battle tank, and now, to fight the challenger, of course, it is also a hanging beating!

In the next second, the 3BM42 armor-piercing projectile had already made close contact with the side armor of the challenger! Penetrated the steel material of the outer layer of Chobham's armor and made close contact with the ceramic block inside.

Then, under the huge impact, the ceramic block cracked, and in the middle position, it turned into foam, although its blocking, so that the speed of the armor-piercing bullet piercing rod weakened, but the armor-piercing bullet is still advancing!

At the same time, the broken ceramic foam and the core of the depleted uranium armor-piercing bullet were rubbing violently, and the temperature was as high as thousands of degrees! At this temperature, the depleted uranium that pierced the rod also began to burn! The Chobham armor could not prevent the entry of such a piercing rod, and soon, a large hole appeared, and the armor had been thoroughly penetrated!

In fact, the whole process of breakdown was just a moment, when the depleted uranium piercing rod smashed on the armor outside the tank, the end was already doomed!

The burning depleted uranium pierced the rod and penetrated the Challenger's turret from the side, igniting the ammunition in the aft compartment.

"Boom!" This sound is even louder, and the earth shakes! The Challenger tank, as a ground weapon, finally ushered in its fate, and in a collision with a Soviet tank, it was hit by a single shot and destroyed! By the time the sound of ammunition detonation came, the tankmen had already gone to another world in glory! (To be continued.) )
