Chapter 273: Ambush

The tank gun is still the original tank gun, but the performance can also be greatly improved by using different armor-piercing shells. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The L7 105mm tank gun, originally only the M735, is also a common armor-piercing projectile in the Western world, as an emergency against the Soviet second-generation and a half tanks.

After that, the United States developed a new type of armor-piercing projectile. M774 is a mature armor-piercing projectile, the United States synchronously tested the tungsten warhead and depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile warhead, after comparative testing, in the RHA test DU has a slight advantage, but in the test of composite armor DU has an overwhelming advantage, since then the United States has completely switched to depleted uranium bullets, tungsten alloy bullets are only used for export.

It is precisely because of the unique advantages of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells that the United States was fooled by the Soviet Union last year, and found that the Soviets also mastered the technology of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, and the barrel caliber became 125 mm.

To increase the power of armor-piercing bullets, the most important thing is to increase the aspect ratio, M774 uses a 26mm piercing rod with a length-diameter ratio of about 13:1, and its performance surpasses that of the Israeli M111 tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet in the same period, and in later wars, Israel's M111 has been able to penetrate the monkey version of the T-72.

Later, the United States was not satisfied, and developed the M833 using a 24mm uranium alloy piercing rod with a length-diameter ratio of 18, the performance of this armor-piercing projectile has always been kept secret, and there is a saying that 2000m away penetrates 420mm armor at 60 degrees. That is, 210mm/60 degrees.

In later generations, the United States also developed the M900 armor-piercing projectile, which was the result of the final excavation of the L7/M68 series. The wearing rod with a length-diameter ratio of 26 is adopted, and it is the performance king of the 105 armor-piercing bullet in service in various countries around the world in later generations. It can deal with the T80U bare car turret, but it cannot penetrate reactive armor.

In this way, the performance of the 105 tank gun reached its limit. The United States eventually replaced it with a 120-mm tank gun.

And now, the island nation has simultaneously obtained the most advanced M833 armor-piercing shells, which very confidently penetrate the main armor of the Soviets' tanks, and the attack on the Soviets has already fired the first shot!

However, why didn't the other side react?

Tracer shells, the trajectory of the shells can be seen clearly, but, for some reason. There was no reaction from the other side! The cannonball, like a stone thrown into the water, did not even splash a wave.

Could it be that the distance is too far, and the fire control system is not accurate enough to hit? Sakuragi Teng knew that he had not been operating the M1 tank long enough, could it be an operational error?

"Armor-piercing bullets!" Sakuragi Teng continued to shout, now, the two armies face each other. There is no choice, you have to move forward!

The light of those infrared headlights is still shining, in the night vision device. I can see it so clearly, at this time, the distance has reached a thousand meters!

Within a kilometer. The outline of the opponent's tank, you can see it clearly!

"Fire!" Sakuragi shouted loudly.

"Boom!" The roar of tank guns sounded again. It's still a tracer armor-piercing projectile, and Sakuragi is in the night vision device. You can clearly see that the shells flew to the opposite tank, easily passed through the hull of the tank, and even the armor of the tank could be seen, and it was beaten in all directions... It's just that there were no explosions like last year.

However, that tank must have been destroyed!

Onward, keep going! The gas turbine is roaring, the tank is attacking rapidly, at this moment, Sakuragi Teng seems to have sensed the strength of his own side, and the rolling armor torrent will soon crush the armored forces of the Soviets on the opposite side, and then, occupy Kushiro!

Recapture Kushiro, then continue north, occupy the newly established naval base of the Soviets, and preferably capture the Soviets Kiev intact! And then use those equipment as collateral and let the Soviets sign a new agreement that recognizes that all of Hokkaido belongs to the island nation!

Onward, onward!

The tracks stirred the dirt and made a rattling sound, and all around, the sound of tank guns firing was deafening.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, Sakuragi Teng seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly, the sweat on his back came out.

Damn, hit the trick!

Even if the armor of the Soviets is no longer a paper shell, now, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to five hundred meters! At this distance, the night vision device of the Soviets should be able to play a role, why didn't the Soviets fire?

Moreover, the tank that was just broken is supposedly finished, why are the infrared headlights still glowing? In the night vision device, you can see so clearly, the turret is scattered, and the infrared headlights are still like a lighthouse.

And most importantly, those infrared headlights, don't move at all! If there is a tank unit of the Soviets on the opposite side, either advance or retreat, you have to move! And now, the other party is just so clubbing, waiting for his side to rush forward, it's incredible!

Damn, those are fake targets! Thinking of this, Sakuragi shouted loudly on the radio: "Stop advancing, stop advancing!" ”

Caught in the trap! This tank unit led by Sakuragi Teng fell into the trap set by the Soviets!

Stop moving forward! There will definitely be more powerful killer moves ahead!

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge roar sounded from the side.

Although the periscope of the tank can observe the direction of three hundred and sixty degrees, just now they were attracted by the infrared headlights in front of them, and their attention was focused on them, until now, they found that on their flanks, there were bright bright spots, and the armored forces of the Soviets were dispatched!

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a new 3BM32 tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile flew out of the barrel of the 125mm tank gun, threw away the butt, spread the tail fin, and flew forward.

Although in history, the number of 3BM32 armor-piercing bullets has also appeared, but it is a short and thick guy, completely different from the current one, after careful comparative tests, the Soviet Union abandoned its original design, and adopted an armor-piercing bullet with an increased aspect ratio, and this 3BM32 tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile, the length diameter ratio reached 18! Combined with the thrust of the ****** of the 125 mm tank gun, it gave an initial velocity of 1800 meters per second, and on the shooting range, 600 mm armor-piercing performance was achieved!

And now, when the depleted uranium armor of the Americans has not yet been stuffed into the honeycomb of the M1 armor, the front of the M1 tank cannot block a blow from the 3BM32, let alone attack from the flank!

As if it were papier-mâché, the side of the M1's wide turret was suddenly drilled a big hole by 3BM32! (To be continued.) )
