Chapter 6: Master Tiger lets you know what despair is
"Whew~! Call~! ”
It had been more than two hours since he left the town, and Qi Lin did not dare to relax for a moment to pay attention to the movements around him, trying to find the other party before the Tiger cannon fired, but he didn't even see a shadow so far, but he himself was very tired now because of the mental tension that lasted for more than two hours.
"No, you can't relax, maybe you'll meet it in the next second!"
Qi Lin patted his face, cheered up again, raised his binoculars and continued to look around.
"If memory serves, the convoy was driving in an open area, and then the Tiger was lying in ambush on the right side of the convoy, and it was hiding in a small wooded area far away, with the boss in between them......
While recalling the plot from the movie, Qi Lin held up his binoculars and looked to the left of the convoy, and then ......
"!" Looking at the gun port facing him in the telescope, Qi Lin was so frightened that he wanted to scold his mother, and hurriedly instructed the driver to stop the tank.
"Huh~!"
In the next second, a shell narrowly grazed the front of Qi Lin's tank and crashed into the dirt in the distance.
"Tiger tank, 6 o'clock, 800 yards!" Qi Lin grabbed the radio to tell the other commanders, and at the same time asked the gunner to quickly turn the muzzle, and at the same time asked the driver to run the car again.
"Damn it!"
"!"
A string of expletives came over the radio.
"If we want to get to that crossroads, we're going to have to kill him!" Peterson said, and he was telling the truth.
They were to go to a crossroads to intercept a German unit that had come to attack the headquarters, which was the only way to get there.
On the left side is a dense forest, which cannot be driven at all with the performance of the Sherman tank, or basically cannot get out of it, while the rest of the place is a flat river, and there is not even a small mountain bag.
Although because of Qi Lin's reminder, the people who knew that there was a tiger on the opposite side did not dare to stop, but instead increased their speed a lot, but there was not even a cover around it, if they ran away regardless of it, it was likely that they would be wiped out without waiting for the tiger range.
As the protagonist said in the original plot, unless he falls into the ditch himself, he must be killed.
In this way, there is only one war.
"Whew~boom!"
Just as a few people were talking, another shell came from different directions, but this shell directly pierced the side armor of the Sherman in front of Qi Lin.
Binkovsky's tank ammunition rack was hit, and the huge force of the shell detonation directly sacrificed the turret, flew to a height of three or four meters, and then smashed to the ground, while the body glided forward for some distance before stopping.
"TMD, how come there is still 1? It's tank four! ”
Qi Lin quickly discovered the location of the other tank, as it was parked not far from the Tiger tank, and he had just not noticed.
The plot has changed again, there was originally only one Tiger tank, but now there is an inexplicable No. 4 tank, and it is also a No. 4H tank equipped with a 75 mm caliber 48 times the diameter tank gun, using APCBC (hood armor-piercing projectiles) to penetrate 84 mm at a depth of 84 mm per kilometer.
Not to mention that it also has APCR (hard-core armor-piercing projectiles), which have a penetration depth of 99 millimeters in kilometers, and the Sherman tank just now is only 800 yards away from him, that is, more than 700 meters.
The side armor of the Sherman tank is only 38 mm, and even the frontal armor is only 63 mm thick, even with a 47-degree tilt setting, the equivalent thickness is only more than 80 mm.
And there's an even more powerful Tiger tank on the other side!
It can be said that if nothing else, these Shermans of the Qilin group will be taken away by these two German tanks without any suspense.
Crisis, an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped Qi Lin, and the shadow of death frightened him so much that he almost forgot to command the tank, and sat stiffly in the control tower, looking at the burning Sherman tank in front of him.
At this moment, he had forgotten his previous ambitions, and forgot that he had sworn that he would accept the Tiger tank, but he sat in the thin-skinned tank in a daze, waiting to be destroyed by the other party and burned to death in the tank in the next second.
In the final analysis, Qi Lin is just an otaku who plays games, reads novels, and looks for movies every day.
Although they had fought two battles before and killed one of the opponent's anti-tank guns, they were just following Tang and them to fight a tailwind, bullying crispy anti-tank guns and infantry who had no ability to resist.
Now that he has encountered the Tiger and the No. 4 tank, which can easily wipe out his own team, Qi Lin has collapsed.
This...... Base...... It's not like I can win at all!
"Bang ~ Bang Bang!"
A burst of cannon fire frightened Qi Lin, and he thought that he had been hit, but after a while, he realized that he was not dead.
Hurriedly came back to his senses and looked at the sound of the cannon, only to find that the tanks of the Tang group had already rushed towards the other party, and the place where the Tiger and No. 4 tanks had just appeared was covered by a large white smoke.
"Damn it, Lin, what are you doing! Do you want to be a deserter? Don's angry questioning voice came from the radio next to him.
yes, what's wrong with me? Do you want to be a deserter? I used to say that I was going to the tiger style, but now there is just one more scum No. 4 on the other side, and I am afraid of being like this.
Isn't it just a number four, although it is called a German military horse, but my 76mm high-speed gun is not covered!
"I'm sorry, sir!"
The tank makes a sharp turn to the right, armor-piercing shells are ready, the turret turns left!
The tracks spun at great speed and rolled up large clouds of dirt, closely following the three Shermans in front.
Before the smoke cleared, Qi Lin and the others had to get as close to each other as possible, the Tiger tank had heavy armor and the main gun was very accurate, if it was against Sherman at a long distance, it would have an absolute advantage.
However, it has just been drizzling here, the ground is muddy and soft, and the heavy body of the Tiger makes it extremely difficult to move here, and the Sherman is lighter than the body, and the M4A3E8 with HVSS (horizontal suspension system) is also more maneuverable, and if it can be hand-to-hand combat, it will maximize Sherman's advantages.
In addition, although the front armor of the Tiger is 102 mm thick, the side and rear armor are only 82 mm thick.
On their side, the 'Fury', 'Big Shot' and 'Lucy Sue' are all equipped with 76mm anti-tank guns, and if armor-piercing shells are used, they can even directly penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger tank at a distance of 500 meters.
Not to mention the thin and brittle 80 mm positive armor of the No. 4 and its 30 mm thick gauge armor, which even Davis's 'old Phyllis' 75mm tank gun could pierce through.
But Qi Lin and the others didn't run far, and the Tiger tank on the opposite side drove out of the smoke, and at this time the distance between the two sides was still more than 700 meters.
"It's out!" Don said.
"Bang~......"
As soon as the Tiger appeared, Ben fired a shot first, but fortunately the first hit rate on the move was not high, and it did not hit its target - 'Lucy Su' driving in front of Qi Lin.
"Fire!" "Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang!"
Qi Lin and the others also hurriedly returned fire, but the effect was not good, one shot hit the ground in front of the tiger, one shot flew past it, and the other two shots, although hit, were bounced away by the opponent's thick positive armor.
At this time, another No. 4 tank H on the opposite side also rushed out of the gradually dissipating smoke, and a 75mm armor-piercing bullet flew straight away, destroying the left track of the 'Lucy Sue', which limped sharply and then stopped in place.
Then, the Tiger tank, which had a clear view, actually stopped its body and fired another shot at the 'Lucy Sue'.
"Boom!"
An 88mm APCBC shot through the armor of Lucy Sue's car, and the shell tore through the fuel tank inside the car, igniting the gasoline inside, and burning the crew alive in this iron coffin before they could escape.
"Damn, they killed Peterson!" Davis cursed.
Qi Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The five Shermans, it had only been a minute since the encounter, but two had already been lost, but the opposite side was unscathed, and there was still a distance of more than five or six hundred meters in the middle.
The tiger has rough skin and thick meat, and now it is facing him again, Qi Lin is not confident that he can penetrate it with one shot, so he can only knock off the crispy No. 4 first.
"Turret turn left, target tank four, armor-piercing shells."
"Fire!"
With a shock to the body, a heavy and powerful cannon sounded, and an M79 armor-piercing projectile spun at a speed of 792 meters per second and flew out of the muzzle, shooting straight at the No. 4 tank that was turning the turret. The 6.8-kilogram warhead lightly tore through the opponent's 80-millimeter front armor and shot directly into the opponent's cockpit.
"Boom !!"
The violent explosion threw the turret of Tank 4 five or six meters high, and the huge energy generated by the detonation of the shell completely tore through the body, and metal fragments scattered everywhere.
"Yay~!" Qi Lin cheered.
To be honest, he didn't think that this shot could hit the target directly, but not only did it hit the target, but it also shot through the cab and detonated the ammo rack behind the driver.
When he was playing War Thunder Land Warfare, Qi Lin also played German cars for a while, and War Thunder had a system to see the general internal layout of the tank, and Qi Lin remembered that there was a large ammunition rack behind the wheelhouse, because he was hit by others and exploded the ammunition rack, which can be impressive.
"I didn't expect that there was really an ammunition rack there, and I just hit this shot again, so I can only blame him for his face. No. 4 is killed, and now there is only the Tiger on the opposite side, and we still have three tanks here, and we have two M4A3E8, and the distance between the two sides is now about 600 points, which can almost penetrate the Tiger and win! ”
After slightly estimating the strength of the two sides, Qi Lin suddenly felt that the odds of winning had increased greatly, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
As long as it doesn't hit me next......
"Lin, it's aiming at you!" Don's voice rang over the radio.
Huh?!
Turning his head stiffly, the muzzle of the tiger-type black hole was indeed pointed at him.
"......"
"Bang !!"
