Chapter 637: 637 hits

"1100 meters! 1100 meters ahead!" The commander of the Leopard tank behind him kicked the back of the gun commander's chair with his own foot as he loudly confirmed the position of the opponent's fire. Obviously, when he heard this distance, the gun commander hesitated slightly for a moment, because he rarely heard the command to fire at a distance of 1100 meters, and he had not yet adapted to it.

After all, the German 75 mm long-barreled gun had almost unbelievable penetration, and when this kind of gun faced opponents like the French B1 tank or the Soviet T-26 and KV-1 at a distance of 1,100 meters, the main gun penetration of the Leopard tank was enough to destroy them at a distance of 1,100 meters. However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the hit and the extreme confidence in their own armor, the German tank crew members often did not fire at their own targets at extreme distances.

They would put the opponent into a relatively easy to destroy distance, and then suddenly open fire to kill the opponent in large numbers, at which point if the opponent tried to retreat, he still could not immediately get out of the attack range of the Leopard tank, and would eat a few more rounds of attacks - and so the German armored forces were born with a large number of destruction.

But now there is an enemy tank that has opened fire at a distance of 1,100 meters, which is obviously a provocation to the arrogance and honor that the German armored forces have had for a long time, and it is also shaking the experience accumulated by the German armored forces at a distance of engagement.

This is not the T-34 tank, although this Soviet tank has only been in service for a short time, but it has been proven that its 76 mm caliber gun cannot penetrate the front armor plate of the mid-to-late Leopard tank, and this is not the KV-1 and 2 tanks, because the power and sound of the fire are different, obviously this is a new type of tank that has never appeared on the battlefield.

"Don't be in a daze! Fire! Fire! Find a way to turn the tank around, I want to turn the hull in the direction of the opponent's attack! Quick! Hurry!" both commanders reminded their men not to be in a daze anymore, they had to do everything possible to get rid of the current situation of being shrouded in long-range attacks, in order to ensure that they were not killed by the other side in a daze.

"Forward! Drive down the roadbed, the front of the car is facing the direction of the opponent's firepower! Load the new 'super' armor-piercing projectiles, let the other side know that we are powerful!" The ace tank commander gave the order to attack loudly, and no one in the world was suspicious of suppressing the German armored forces, no matter how powerful the opponent was, the arrogance buried deep in the bones of the German armored forces was never dusted.

The power wheels of the Leopard tank rolled up the tracks and rolled forward, throwing the dirt to the sides, and rushed violently towards the opponent he had never met, the 75 mm caliber long-barreled gun that was once invincible on the battlefield, and the black hole pointed at the direction where the green smoke had not yet dissipated at the fastest speed.

"Fire!" In the distance, in the cramped tank compartment, the commander of a Soviet Red Army tank gave the order to open fire again, with a knife-like scar on his face that stretched from the top of his head to his mandible, and the wound was so terrible that it ruined a cold and handsome face.

The commander didn't wear a standard bumper helmet, but casually hung his headphones around his neck, and his voice was so cold that it was like an echo from the abyss of hell. Another thing that was different from the rest of the Soviet soldiers was his neckline, which was not the red badge of the Soviet Red Army, but a pair of black wolf heads.

"Boom!" Without the slightest hesitation, his gun commander immediately fired the shell, and the terrible large-caliber ammunition flew a distance of 1,000 meters this time, and finally hit the German Leopard tank that rushed down the slope at the end, and through the observation window on the tank, you can see the moment when the shell hits the front armor plate of the Leopard tank.

The front armor of the Leopard tank is sloped, and if it is against a frontal shell, this inclined armor design can play a role in increasing the defensive effect and causing the opponent's shell to ricochet, but at this moment, the Leopard tank is rushing down the roadbed, so the Soviet tank shell has doubled the angle of incidence, almost canceling out most of the tilt angle of the inclined armor.

At the same time, the Soviet tank that fired was not a T-26 fast tank with an obviously insufficient caliber of the main gun, nor a T-34 tank and a KV-1 tank with the same power, but a Stalinist tank with a 122 mm main gun, which produced less than 25 units in mass production!

On the basis of sacrificing the rate of fire, this tank gun using separate ammunition is a few points greater in power than Germany's current main 88 mm caliber tank artillery, although the overall table is not stronger than the world-famous 88 gun due to loading difficulties and other reasons, but in terms of armor-piercing power, this gun is not trivial, and finally gives Soviet tanks the ability to face German tanks head-on.

What's even more unfortunate is that this armor-piercing shell from the new Soviet Stalin tank hit the part of the shell at the welding point between the muzzle of the front course machine gun and the front armor plate of the Leopard tank hull.

So in this case, the Leopard tank's originally thick front armor plate was pierced, and the shells, with the shattered armor and various small parts that were shaken off by the huge shock, converged into a hot torrent of steel, splashing back and forth inside the hull of the Leopard tank, breaking through everything that stood in its way.

"Oh my God! Car No. 1 was hit! Car No. 1 was hit!" Leopard No. 2 was still on the roadbed, and as soon as it finished turning, the commander of the No. 2 team saw the destruction of his friendly tank. It was an ace tank that had destroyed more than a dozen enemy tanks! It was an idol in everyone's minds! It was on this nameless highway that it was so easily destroyed.

Five tank crew members, five fresh lives, and soldiers who were still alive just now became five piles of corpses pierced by shrapnel in an instant. There was little time on the battlefield for the living, and a column of dirt rose from the side of the No. 2 Leopard tank.

"It's two tanks! They have two new tanks!" The commander of tank No. 2 knew that his own people in the rear must be listening on their communication channel, and while directing the battle, he reported all the situations he encountered to the battalion headquarters and even the regimental headquarters and division headquarters in the rear as much as possible.

"Stop moving, reverse slowly, pay attention to the distance of the roadbed behind, release smoke, and reload armor-piercing shells!" None of the battle-hardened members of the German tank crew were soft persimmons, and after a short period of panic, the entire crew of car No. 2 calmed down, because each of them knew that nervousness could not keep them alive on the battlefield, and only calm and calm could make him live longer.

"Dark green livery! Their turrets are larger and have no edges!" the commander of car No. 2 stared firmly at the Soviet tank in the distance that was slowly approaching in disguise, and loudly reported the results of his observations.

"Boom!" the tank gun of the Leopard tank fired, and an armor-piercing shell accurately hit the turret of the Soviet tank, it seems that the power of the new German tungsten alloy super armor-piercing projectile is very terrible, and it almost penetrated the thickened armor of the Stalin tank at a distance of 1000 meters, but unfortunately the Germans were not very lucky, and the shell hit the position of the thickest armored turret of the Stalin tank.

The shells did not penetrate the opponent, leaving a deep pit in the armor of Stalin's tank as a memento. However, the huge tremor had already damaged the internal structure of the Stalin's tank, and the Soviet tank staggered to a halt, with a little light smoke coming out of the tail engine compartment.

"Didn't hit through! Super armor-piercing bullets, reload!" the commander lowered his binoculars and shouted to his men to prepare for the next attack.

And behind a bush not far from this German tank, in the cabin of the Stalin tank painted with a black five-pointed star that had not been started, the man with the scar on his face squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, and scolded: "Fool, as soon as you see merit, rush forward...... Go up and die?"

But the loader beside him, like a deaf man, pushed the warhead into the chamber without a sound, and then stooped down from under the floor to fire the charge, stuffed it into the chamber and closed the bolt.

"Fire!" Scarface didn't hesitate and immediately ordered to continue firing. This was probably the longest exchange of fire between the two sides since the outbreak of World War II, and there had never been a single report of German tanks firing unilaterally, but there had never been an incident in which an opposing tank returned fire and hit a German tank destroyed at a distance of 1,100 meters.

However, it was clear that the Soviet tanks were too slow to save their poor companions, and the German tanks had already fired the second and third shells before the Soviet tanks fired the second shell. One shell hit the tracks of Stalin's tank, knocking off more than a dozen tracks of the Stalin tank and destroying three load-bearing wheels; another shell finally lived up to the expectations of the German tank crew, piercing the front armor of the Stalin's tank hull and completely destroying the steel monster that rushed out to pick up the bargain but was stopped by a single shot.

"It's finally broken!" Before the German tank crew could exhale to relieve themselves, they felt their tank tremble violently as if it had been hit by an eight-magnitude earthquake. These soldiers, who have been fighting in tanks for a long time, know that their own tanks have been hit by the opponent's artillery.

What was different from usual was that this time the gun that hit the Leopard tank was a bit larger, and it pierced the front armor plate of this early production Leopard tank of the A type at once. Without the slightest suspense, the electromechanical crew and the driver must be more than lucky. The commander of car No. 2 did not hesitate, he was already half outside, jumped out of the turret with both hands, and then jumped out of his tank regardless of the height.
