Chapter 1556 Humanoid Tank

The soldier who was knocked to the ground by a sudden burst of bullets was now sitting on the ground, with two comrades accompanying him, checking to see if there were any wounds on his body.

After all, if you say that a person was shot seven times in the lower body at such a close range, nothing will happen. This kind of thing just sounds so damn outrageous that no one will believe it.

But he understood that the fact before him was indeed the case. The bulletproof armor that had been removed from the chest still contained the seven nine-millimeter warheads that failed to cause penetration. Just like the German armor-piercing bullets could not penetrate the frontal armor of the Red Army's heavy tanks, they were all in vain.

Being able to sit on the ground with surprise even though he was shot seven times like nothing happened is all due to the SN-42 steel plate body armor.

Generally speaking, if the German's nine-millimeter submachine gun bullets are close to within a hundred meters and within a firing range of tens of meters, they can penetrate the not-so-thick SN-42 body armor from the front.

After all, the thickness of this forged steel plate is only two millimeters. It is unrealistic to expect this thing to be as protective as the Kevlar fiber and ceramic insert plate combination body armors of later generations.

But the problem lies precisely in the fact that the SN-42 body armor used by the Combat Engineer Battalion of the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division is somewhat different from the styles used by other friendly forces.

The bulletproof armor that protects the upper torso is not one piece, but two pieces. It has no special technical content. It is just two identical bulletproof steel plates stacked on the chest and fixed with ropes along the four corners of the two steel plates. Okay, put it on.

Although the weight of the entire body armor has doubled, from the original 5 kilograms to 7 kilograms.

But to be honest, this seven kilogram load is really not a problem for the "elite" combat engineers.

Compared to holding a DP light machine gun while shooting from the hip and charging simultaneously, what does the weight of seven kilograms mean?

What's more important is that this double-layered modified body armor has been proven to be effective long ago.

Not only can it block direct attacks from submachine guns at close range, but it can also block various German pistols that are particularly deadly in close combat and have faster discharge speeds. Even the guns with the longest barrel, the longest effective range, and the highest discharge speed Even the runner-type Ruger cannot penetrate the modified version of the SN-42 body armor with double-layer armor.

Of course, this is also limited to the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division using the captured artillery Ruger to test the modified version of the double-armored SN-42 body armor.

After all, the artillery Ruger is as rare as a giant panda on the battlefield. The so-called extreme defense test is simply impossible to appear and occur on a large scale in actual combat.

The solid protection brought by the double-layered heavy armor also has another benefit: Combat engineers, who always fight face-to-face with enemy infantry, can take advantage of this armor in hand-to-hand combat that is no longer common.

The German soldiers who wanted to kill with a fatal blow and stabbed at the vital point were often in trouble and had no idea where to start. Facing the Red Army soldiers whose entire torsos were tightly covered and protected, they had no way to kill them and did not know where to stab them.

It is true that you can choose to stab the limbs with a knife, but the problem is that such a knife is not fatal at all.

The ferocious Maozi was able to withstand the damage of this knife, and with a backhand knife, he killed the German who had no protection and was only wearing a military uniform.

I am disabled and you are dead.

Whether such an exchange is a loss or not is probably very clear to the soldiers involved on both sides of the war.

The double-layer modified version of the SN-42 body armor sacrifices limited mobility in exchange for a very good combat effectiveness bonus for the soldiers of the combat engineer battalion.

This kind of battlefield protection modification and upgrade was only used by a small number of strong and bear-like combat engineers at the beginning, but later it became the unified standard armor of the combat engineer battalion.

Whether this effect is good or not, the front-line soldiers charging into the battle have the most say, and there is no need to debate too much.

Malashenko, who was also surprised by this situation, leaned down, picked up the double-layer SN-42 body armor lying on the ground, and observed it carefully in his hand.

The seven severely deformed nine-millimeter warheads were all stuck in the middle position after penetrating the first layer of protective armor and slightly deforming the second layer of protective armor. They could not advance any further and completely lost their kinetic energy.

It can be seen that if he had not been wearing a double-layered body armor, the soldier who had been shot seven times would have been completely cold at this moment.

Although penetrating a layer of bulletproof armor will cause the warhead to lose most of its kinetic energy, the remaining penetrating kinetic energy can still tear apart the fragile flesh and blood and pour it into it without any suspense.

And because the warhead has been severely deformed, unstable and rolled during the process of penetrating the bulletproof armor, it will cause a more serious cavity effect after entering the human body. A nine-millimeter warhead with a large caliber can make a fist-sized wound on a person without any problem. Even if it does not penetrate the body, it is enough to kill someone on the spot.

"Life is so tough! All seven shots were aimed at your upper body. If a few of them hit your limbs, you might die of excessive blood loss. This is considered a great blessing in not going too far. "

Even Malashenko couldn't help but admire and praise the soldier sitting on the ground in front of him, who was still in shock. This was what Malashenko said sincerely.

The episode came to an end, and Malashenko did not stay too long in the cellar. He came to the entrance and climbed up with the ropes that the soldiers above had lowered and prepared.

The first thing Malashenko saw when he came to the ground was Igokov's ashen expression.

No wonder, the moment he realized something was wrong and opened the cellar entrance, this guy's final fate had already been decided.

An ordinary bandit can be sent to labor reform, and he may have a chance to restart the rest of his life.

But for a bastard like this who is always trying to cover up and harbor bandit leaders No. 1 and 2, sending him to labor reform is a sin that wastes air and consumes food.

Malashenko, who didn't even bother to look at this kind of garbage anymore, waved his hand and gave a very absent-minded order before turning around and leaving.

"Shoot him immediately! There's no need for an interrogation, it's no longer needed."

The collapse on the spot after a brief conversation and the howling of ghosts and wolves were irrelevant. Malashenko, who had finally concluded his journey to save Vatutin, returned to the position of commander of his temporarily requisitioned T43 medium tank. After that, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
