Chapter 5: Hit by Friendly Forces!
During World War II, Britain did not follow the same route as the Soviet Union at that time, but really weakened the front armor and increased the weight of the rear, which is funny, where is the advantage of such a tank annihilation?
The Firefly tank and the Avenger tank destroyer with the same firepower, the protection of the tank is actually higher than that of the Tan J, the mobility is a little lower but the gap is not big, and the soldiers certainly prefer the tank. In addition, the prototype Sherman tank of the Firefly tank was directly sent by the United States, eliminating the need for the British to manufacture the process itself, and finally the Cromwell chassis equipped with the QF17-pounder gun was dismounted.
"But ......," Willisa thought, "it's okay to praise the Firefly tank a little, St. Gloriana would not use a hybrid vehicle out of the British pride tradition, but the power of the QF17-pounder gun is a threat to the truth, if this tank is indeed used as a tank, it may make the advantage of the truth smaller, I hope the disparagement just now is effective." ”
Although Willisa is not arrogant enough that her knowledge of chariots is definitely much greater than that of Darjeeling and the others, what Willisa can consider, of course, Darjeeling can also consider to be more likely, and it is not possible to buy other chariots equipped with QF17-pounder guns, that is, there is really no way to introduce them or the value of the introduction is not worth the price. But if you pray a little in your heart, you can at least make Willisa feel a little more comfortable.
The structure of the Gakuen town is tighter than that of the town on land, and the roads are much narrower, and the two tanks move quickly on roads that would make it a little troublesome to turn around (not all tanks can turn in place), and the buildings on both sides fly quickly and backwards opposite each other.
These give the feeling of driving on a closed track.
After a while, the buildings on the right side of the road were replaced by lawns and trees, and the view suddenly opened up, and at the same time, there was silence except for the roar of the engines.
"Bang bang!" The slightly crisp sound of a QF6-pounder cannon suddenly came from the side.
The Cromwell tank, which was the first to be driven from the building range, was immediately baptized by these two guns!
The cannon hit the corner of the Cromwell's turret, and was ejected by the large inclination. The other shot missed at all and hit the front of the turret instantly!
I saw that on the opposite side of the lawn on the right, about 25m, two Crusader tanks drove out of the construction area almost at the same time as the two Cromwell tanks.
At such a close distance, even if Cromwell's armor exceeded 100mm at its thickest point, it would not help. Generally speaking, it is like this -
But because Yuhanari rotated the turret in advance and set the angle - the boxy turret does have the disadvantage that the four-way attack will be perpendicular to the attack, but when the angle is placed, it also has the advantage of being easier to estimate.
That shot completely hit the turret of the Cromwell tank, did not make a mark, and was blown aside by the terrible ricochet.
"Attack them and kill them before the next shot hits!" Mint Lu shouted quickly, listening to her voice, it seemed a little panicked.
It was the first time to play against an opponent in the regular lane, and this tension was of course.
However, what Mint Lu said is also reasonable, this cannon has already hit, if it is a school shot, maybe the next shot will not be able to resist at an angle. Unless Willissa, who is driving the chariot, can dodge.
Willisa has the confidence to dodge, but Mint Dew is not confident, in order to survive the chariot, you have to defend the chariot, and sometimes, offense is the best defense.
The four vehicles continued to sprint forward almost relatively stationary on two roads.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer, these two roads are not parallel, the front is the meeting point, the armor-piercing projectile fired by the howitzer relies on the metal jet, and the depth of penetration generated by the hit will not change very much with the distance, but the anti-tank gun is different, the QF6-pounder gun relies on the kinetic energy generated by the great initial velocity, and the kinetic energy of the shell will decay with the air resistance encountered in the flight of the shell, that is, the closer the distance, the last swing angle can not protect itself, the more unfavorable it is for the Cromwell tank equipped with the howitzer.
"Hurry up!" Mint Dew's tone was even more urgent.
"I, we're done!" The reaction was slower, the turret started later, and the lavender, which felt that it really couldn't catch up, was almost crying.
The turrets of the two Cromwell tanks were turning to the right of the Crusader tanks that had been aiming. Due to the angle of Yuhanari in advance, Mint Dew's chariot aims before Lavender's chariot.
"Shoot!" Mint Lu shouted over the intercom.
"Boom!" As Yuhani deducted the fire, the front of the gun close to the 100mm caliber was suddenly covered in flames, and the QF6-pounder gun was in front of him, like a toothpick.
However, this is not a specialized anti-tank gun, so although the flames are much more spectacular than the other side, and its power against the vehicle is not much higher, it is like killing a Crusader tank with a knife.
The thick armor-piercing bullet flew towards a Crusader tank in front of the opposite side.
However, the two Crusader tanks on the opposite side came to a sudden brake almost at the same time, and the relative position of the Cromwell tank changed instantly, causing the shell to shoot out.
Then, before Lavender could lock on to the target, the turrets of the two vehicles on the opposite side were slightly adjusted, aiming at the Mint Dew and Lavender vehicles respectively.
"Bang!" Small-caliber guns have the advantage of small caliber, the shells are light, the reloading is fast, this time only one cannon sound was heard, and the opposite side was admirably synchronized.
Dressa's choice is the same as the Crusader tank on the opposite side, and attacking a high-speed vehicle must be set with a considerable amount of advance, so the brakes are the best choice at this time.
Mint Dew seemed stunned and gave no instructions, so Willisa could only press the brakes according to her own judgment, as if there were sparks of friction shooting from below, but she would definitely be able to avoid the shelling from the other side. If the car behind can make the same choice -
"Boom!" Everyone in the chariot of mint dew suddenly almost fell down—
The black tea in Mint Lu's hand spilled, and most of the tea was left and the teacup was not broken, which must be praised; The cannonball held in the jackfruit's hand almost smashed down, but fortunately, the charioteer girl of the Black Tea Academy learned to elegantly artificially steady, and now she can't be elegant, but she still barely managed to prevent the cannonball from falling to the ground.
It wasn't because of Willissa's brakes, but because Lavender's chariot didn't brake sharply, so it crashed into it hard!
By the time Lavender noticed the movement of the car in front of her, it was too late.
Dressa's sudden braking is a fact, even if it is increased by the rear car with a forward vector, it is not as big as a normal drag race, the deceleration has indeed been reached, and Willisa hurriedly stabilized the chariot.
The cannonball flew almost close to the front of the car, sending out sparks and making a sound that made the teeth of the occupants of the car ache!
