Chapter 85: The Panzer IV that fires a cold shot?

The truth is out now. Google search reading

This guy is not a shadow life at all, it should be an electronic life form that can be separated from its carrier for some unknown reason.

Its physical carrier, maybe it has disappeared long ago, maybe it is Tia.

In this way, its original owner, Tia's old father, Mr. Mike, is actually a time traveler.

However, Ruger didn't waste too much time on this matter.

The old noisy has completed its reconnaissance mission, so it's okay to give it a break.

It's having fun controlling the LED of the small fan there, which is much better than being annoying when it's noisy.

So Ruger just said hello to it and put it and the fan in the back seat.

On his side, Ruger directly clamped the mobile phone with the camp map on the special bracket near the dashboard and started to circle the information inside.

Hiding the tank behind the barracks and preparing to shoot a cold cannon at itself, right?

Even if we don't talk about attacking, it will be more powerful in defense, and we will not be afraid of the enemy's direct fire, right?

Sorry, Ruger's artillery can fire indirect fire.

After taking the time to jump back to the back row, adjust the angle of the mortar howitzer, and replace the new shells on the loader, Ruger quickly returned to the cockpit and continued the previous route.

He stopped the car in advance when he was two corners away from the first ambushed tank.

Controlling the tank to turn the front of the car in place and adjust the angle, he gently pressed the firing button integrated on the steering wheel, smiled at the front in the air with a mocking smile, and pressed the switch.

Tu~tu~

Two more dull artillery sounds sounded in succession, and two mortar shells were fired one after another.

When using mortars at close range, you don't need to load too much propellant, and the shells are not fast, so the sound will be more dull.

This time, Ruger held the muzzle of the mortar high, at an angle higher than when it was used as an anti-aircraft gun before.

The two shells flew out almost vertically into the sky, and after reaching the highest point, they both fell down, drawing a very high parabola, and fell to a position dozens of meters in front of Ruger.

This is the mortar attack method of the mortar howitzer.

There are many theories about why modern firepower similar to mortars is called mortars, and the two most famous ones are.

One is that when a general mortar is used, the ammunition is loaded at the front muzzle.

After the ammunition is placed in the barrel, the shell falls under the action of gravity, compressing the firing pin below, and then triggering the primer to shoot the shell out.

The other is that mortar mortar means close shooting, that is, close shooting.

As for the pronunciation problem, it is said that the tone changes while it is catchy.

Ruger has no particular preference for these two statements, because both statements are no longer applicable to modern mortars.

But when he used it at this time, it really had a flavor of close shooting.

On a normal battlefield, this kind of usage is unlikely to occur.

It is not impossible to shoot with mortars, but it is unlikely to use mortars to attack tanks.

It is not absolutely impossible, but the probability is very, very small.

Tanks are frontal assault forces and offensive tools. The probability of hiding in a corner and firing cold cannons is not high.

On the other hand, the mortar shells fly very slowly, and the ballistic characteristics are obvious. It is almost impossible to hit a running tank unless the latter does not know how to change direction.

The most likely situation is that the tank itself has a malfunction and cannot move, or it is simply parked in its own camp without starting, and is attacked by mortars.

Then, even armor-piercing shells may not be able to break the armor of the tank. Even if the tank is hit by a mere mortar, what can it do?

Well, I have to say that the armor of the tank is not thick in all directions without dead ends.

Under normal circumstances, the front armor of the tank is the last, because this is the direction to face the enemy.

This feeling is the same as when Ruger saw that the situation was not good and installed explosive anti-armor on the front armor first, but not on the other three sides. In fact, it is the same.

So the armor on the sides and rear of the tank is much thinner than the front armor.

And the top of the tank is still the same, or even more vulnerable.

In fact, apart from the different delivery methods, his thing is very similar to those anti-tank missile weapons with top attack functions.

For example, the famous Hellfire air-to-ground anti-tank missile.

That kind of anti-tank missile is still flying horizontally when flying towards the target. When it is about to hit the target, it will quickly raise its head and climb, and finally draw a large arc and attack from the top of the target.

The effect is so good.

It is not that Ruger is modest. If the mortar can really hit the tank more stably, the advanced anti-tank missiles that cost many times more should not appear.

No matter how weak the top of the tank is, it will not be damaged after being hit by the mortar shell.

The biggest disadvantage is that it cannot hit, or it is difficult to hit.

But who can blame the ghosts for not knowing this? At least they acted as if they didn't know this.

This gave Ruger the opportunity to bully the weak.

That's right, he was just bullying the weak by using mortars to attack the hidden tanks.

Is the ghost weak?

There may be some discussion elsewhere, but it is definitely true here.

And in Ruger's words, it is still a big dish that can give points.

Because with the explosion of two shells, Ruger also received the chance to kill.

However, after reading the information inside, Ruger realized that he seemed to have wrongly accused others.

[Kill the observer of the 75mm anti-tank gun on the chassis of the Panzer IV - the biochemically modified creature - the cheetah man, and get 15 points. ]

There are two similar records in succession, except that the "observer" is replaced by "gunner" and "loader" respectively.

Obviously, these three "hands" are a group of gun crew members, not crew members.

From the long list of weapon name prefixes given by the system very considerately, Ruger can also see that the opponent's tank is not a tank at all.

The 75mm anti-tank gun on the chassis of the Panzer IV, as the name suggests, is a 75mm caliber anti-tank gun installed on the chassis of a Panzer IV tank.

This is not a tank at all, and it is even difficult to say that it is a tank.

However, Ruger has not seen it with his own eyes, so it is not easy to say for sure.

According to the simple concept, if this guy who was put together temporarily is equipped with a layer of armor on the outside

Moreover, this armor does not affect the normal firing of the anti-tank gun, so this thing can barely be considered a tank.

In fact, the famous tank destroyer during World War II was actually based on this idea.

However, the real tank destroyer has made some other adjustments, which is definitely more complicated than this simplified version.

Speaking of which, the Panzer IV tank destroyer is just a Pak39|42 75mm anti-tank gun installed on the chassis of the Panzer IV.

If such a simple tank destroyer is placed in a corner and fired cold guns, it is indeed not a wrong way to use the tank.
