Chapter 1437 Funeral Bells

After knowing the weaknesses and penetration range of the German tanks, the T3485s did not stand still and start a shooting game with the Germans.

Even if the firepower output is basically equal, the T3485 is at an irrefutable armor disadvantage compared to the German Panther or King Tiger. On the contrary, it has greater mobility. The advantages are worth taking advantage of.

Brother Dali once said: "Then if I remain motionless, wouldn't I be a bastard?"

No one wants to be a bastard, not even anyone with a little brain, ability to think, and sense of reason, including the Red Army medium tank soldiers who drive these T3485s.

Compared to Black Panther 2 and King Tiger, the T3485s were particularly maneuverable and quickly maneuvered, although they were not as fast as the wind in the muddy wilderness. But just by the sight of the speeding tracks rolling up large swaths of mud, you can tell how fast it is. This is basically what tank racing is all about these days.

After one round of shooting, the T3485s entered a high-speed maneuvering state. They continued to fire even while moving, trying their best to continuously aim at the German turret while moving at high speed.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for Black Panther 2 to accurately hit, penetrate armor, and defeat the Germans. There is no doubt about this.

But the Russian armor-piercing shells that kept passing by the turret with sharp wind-piercing screams, or ricocheted near the penetration position, making a ping-tong-pong-pong-metal collision sound, really hit the inside of the car. The already nervous SS armored soldiers were put under unimaginable psychological pressure.

On the one hand, one must maintain a high degree of mental concentration and maintain precise operations to continue fighting without losing concentration. On the other hand, one must also be on tenterhooks for fear that the next armor-piercing bullet flying from nowhere will tear the turret apart with a "bang" sound of metal collision. The armor was poured into the tank, and everyone on the top and bottom of the vehicle was blown to pieces and turned into a mass of blood and flesh.

It is impossible to say that there is no psychological pressure. At best, it is just a matter of different people's will and mentality, and the impact will be different.

Of course, there is another situation derived from this, that is, the SS armored soldiers in combat status were a little confused, and even made operational errors directly. This will inevitably waste time and miss opportunities. The precious opportunity that fleets by will not stop waiting for you.

The probability of the German army's main gun misfiring and artillery shells missing the target at close range began to skyrocket. The T3485s seized the opportunity and rushed to the last 100 meters. Up to this point, they no longer implemented any unnecessary tactics. This is no longer necessary.

The T3485s, which had cut into the shortest straight line, began to rush straight towards their nearest targets, with no other purpose but one purpose: to attack the side armor of the Germans, and to attack the weakest point where it was easiest to penetrate.

The German tanks, which had already sensed the opponent's purpose, responded quickly. The two tracks supported by the dual-stream transmission began to drive the heavy body and change the course at a speed visible to the naked eye. It tried its best to keep the strongest main armor belt on the front of the car body facing the enemy as fast as possible, and the turret also accelerated and pointed towards the enemy while rotating together to ensure that it could fire at any time.

This scene seemed familiar, except that the German army took the initiative last time, almost forcing Malashenko, who did not have a dual-stream transmission system and could only slowly and lamely turn the car's course, to a dead end.

Feng Shui is turning, and we are at your home today.

The Vikings, who have always been domineering, cruel and cruel, probably never thought that one day they would be ridiculed by Russians and would be thrown into confusion.

With the support of dual-stream transmission, the speed of turning the car body on the spot is very fast, but the speed of T3485 running at full speed and charging at close range is even faster than this!

Even after destroying several T3485s at this face-to-face distance, the scene that the SS armorers least wanted to see being surrounded by the enemy finally happened as promised.

"Aim for the Kraut's belly! Hit me!"

"Fire!"

boom--

The biggest problem on the previous generation of Panther 1 was that the defense of the side and rear armor was too weak, so weak that even the Red Army's light tanks could easily penetrate it if they reached a sufficient distance. This is too brittle for the main medium tank that cannot always face the enemy, so brittle that it is almost unacceptable.

According to the improvement requirements put forward by the National Defense Forces, the Panther 2's body has indeed been strengthened to some extent on the side and rear armor. At least it will no longer be easily shot by some BT fast tanks like before.

But in front of the newly installed 85mm gun of the T34, the enhanced defensive armor is still the same as nothing, and there is no difference. Even if it is described as useless, it is not an exaggeration to describe it.

The 85mm hood-piercing projectile easily tore through the side armor of the Black Panther 2, shattered the hood and then poured into the interior of the vehicle.

Similar to the layout of the ammunition racks of the previous generation Panther 1, the ammunition racks of Panther 2 are still concentrated on both sides of the vehicle body. The 75mm fixed-loading ammunition is neatly stacked on the left and right sides of the centrally placed loading hand. .

Loading is indeed convenient, but when the ammunition explodes and flies, the force is also uniform and convenient.

The moment it penetrated the armor on the side of the car body, it hit the 85mm armor-piercing projectile on the rear ammunition rack and exploded the ammunition in an instant.

The raging torrent generated by the explosion of ammunition rushed through the interior of the tank like a fire dragon, igniting the fuel tank in the vehicle and triggering the explosion of powerful fuel. It also killed all five SS armored personnel in the vehicle in the blink of an eye. Torn to pieces.

From the moment the T3485 successfully bypassed them, it would be extremely difficult for the SS armored personnel to regain their disadvantage if they wanted to keep facing the enemy.

Even if the dual-flow transmission turns the car body faster, it will never be faster than the T3485's racing speed.

One after another, the T3485s circled around the extremely clumsy-looking German tanks. The German Panther 2 and King Tiger, who were tired of coping, simply gave up the targets closest to them and began to attack those that could be reached in the shortest time. After completing his aim, T3485 came to the rescue of his comrades. At the same time, he also hoped that others would do the same to him and help each other.

At least, this won't be a useless waste of time, and it's better than being led around in circles by a Russian on a leash like a dog.

When the war situation reaches this point, it cannot be said that the German army has no hope of winning. If it can maintain the status quo and continue to persevere without collapse, it can even be said that the German army has a good chance of winning and the chance of winning is quite large.

However, the premise of all this is that no other Red Army troops rush to the battlefield and enter the battlefield. This is what the German army has always been afraid of.

But sometimes, what you fear most will come true. The reality is so joking and extremely cruel.

That burst of diesel engines roaring in unison from the rear, a mechanical sound like the galloping of thousands of horses, became the last funeral bell heard by the German soldiers before they died.
