Chapter 2425 Delayed Explosion

The last step of the ejector rod was not used to push the propellant cartridge forward into the chamber. Only the two main and auxiliary loaders on the left and right worked together to forcefully push the propellant cartridge and the projectile into the breech in an instant. .

The loading time was compressed to the shortest possible extent, and the action of pushing the ejector rod into the chamber, which was supposed to save a certain amount of manpower, was omitted. The roar of the loader, which was accompanied by the dull sound of the breech closing, immediately echoed in the air. inside the car.

"Loading complete!"

"Aim! Fire!"

"This is a greeting for the Red Navy! Fascist bastard!"

Boom——

Transplanting destroyer guns directly onto tanks is not without cost. At least one of the costs that has been determined is that after installing a huge muzzle brake, it still cannot fully digest the huge naval-level medicine chamber capacity. The huge projectile firing recoil.

Under the powerful effect of this recoil, even the IS7 heavy tank with a total combat weight of 70 tons, which is comparable to the size of the third-generation main battle tank of the 21st century, was still hit by the remaining recoil and the whole vehicle violently crashed. Trembling, retreating slightly, the huge body like a moving mountain swayed like a stroller, trembling slightly under the violent wind from the muzzle.

The 130mm full-caliber semi-armor-piercing delayed fuze grenade projectile that escaped from the barrel at extremely high speed, with a shrill scream of wind, rushed out of the muzzle at extremely high speed amid the extreme spread of the muzzle storm and the splash of flames, heading towards He rushed straight towards the small soil slope that was emitting rising white smoke.

The fragile soil slope was like paper in the face of the powerful and heavy 130mm semi-armor-piercing delayed fuze grenade projectiles.

Traditional high-explosive grenades with contact-type impact fuses will explode upon contact on a soil slope, releasing most of their destructive power into the soil and the air. However, the semi-armor-piercing delayed fuse from the Red Navy ammunition depot Grenades don't.

The thick wall of the projectile, which is thick enough and designed to penetrate light armor, easily penetrated the upper part of the slope. The projectile warhead charge under the action of the delayed fuze will not detonate immediately, but will detonate in the upcoming attack. It exploded into a ball of bright fireworks in a few seconds, not now.

It shoots in from the front edge of the earth slope and shoots out from behind the earth slope.

The projectile that penetrated the entire upper half of the small slope continued to move forward with a huge amount of remaining kinetic energy. In the next second, it hit the concrete outer wall of the German bunker, but this was still not the case. The final moment comes.

Under Malashenko's order, the deputy loader Sergey, who was responsible for adjusting the fuze cap on the projectile's head, made manual fine adjustments to set the delayed detonation time of the projectile long enough to prevent the projectile from penetrating the soil slope. As for immediate detonation, it will still take some time to transform into a violently spreading explosive chemical energy flame. 6̾̾

As for why he did this, Malashenko did not say anything clearly when he gave the order. Sergey, who only knew that executing the order was the top priority, did not ask any more questions. But looking at it now, there is actually no need to ask more questions afterwards, because the real answer is about to be presented, just in the next second.

The delay fuse, which is enough to penetrate the lower deck of a small and medium-sized warship before detonating, is set to a long enough detonation time so that it can still complete the detonation with the remaining strong kinetic energy after penetrating the upper part of the soil slope. The second penetration penetrated the outer wall of the Kraut bunker next to the earth slope and poured into it.

The 130mm armor-piercing projectile with kinetic energy large enough to penetrate the armor of a light cruiser is definitely not something that conventional military-standard concrete outer walls can withstand. This kind of ordinary machine gun bunker, which is converted into equivalent armor defense, is not even as good as the armor protection of the No. 4 tank. It is almost no different from paper in front of the 130mm Red Navy naval gun.

Boom——

The semi-armor-piercing delayed fuze grenade projectile instantly broke through the concrete outer wall, and finally detonated smoothly at almost the center of the bunker, exploding into a ball of extremely diffuse flames.

The two German machine gun teams, which were still operating two MG42 machine guns for crazy firepower output, were instantly unlucky before they had any time to make any effective response.

The explosive potential is so violent that it can break through light armor and destroy medium armor. It is so powerful that it can lift off the top of the entire concrete bunker in just a blink of an eye, scattering countless debris like a goddess. It is usually thrown into the air, flying all over the sky, and then falls heavily in the swirling waves. It still hurts when it hits the surrounding people who have no time to avoid it, causing a burst of secret yells and curses to suddenly rise in private.

"Suka! This fire support is too powerful. Is it from those 152?"

"Shut up! Are you blind? Who are you scolding? That's Comrade Senior Commander's car!"

""

After all, Malashenko's command vehicle is so iconic. The turret painting, decorated like a Christmas tree, is extremely eye-catching on the battlefield and can be seen at a glance. There is no mistaking it.

Even if this will straighten up your battlefield recognition, it will not be conducive to concealment, and it will be easy to be discovered by the Germans and subject to some possible and potential concentrated fire attacks.

But the opposite benefit is also visible to the naked eye and real. When the battlefield recognition is full, it can also be seen by our own soldiers at a glance. This kind of "comrade division commander is with me, right beside me and with me." The feeling of "fighting side by side" is unmatched by any pre-war mobilization speech, and its effect on boosting morale is no less than that of a certain human emperor's aerial brainwashing ship.

Well, the only difference is that Malashenko's car is not equipped with loudspeakers, and it will not play those "teacher commander's sayings" that make the soldiers of the leadership division feel excited and proud after listening to it, and they tear up the German sticks with more force. Golden sentence".

The German machine gun bunker blocking the advance was shot into the soul, tearing away the protection of the military-standard concrete outer wall, and exploded directly inside, leaving only a bare foundation and broken walls. At first glance, one might even think that it is some kind of newly unearthed prehistoric civilization relic, rather than a military project of modern civilization.

The squad leader who poked his head out of the trench and saw this scene nodded slowly, then straightened the AK assault rifle in his hand, pointing the muzzle of the gun and the bayonet directly forward. After turning around, he immediately raised his right arm to the man behind him. Comrades waved their hands.

"Keep going! Comrades! Victory is close at hand, crush those fascists! Hurrah!!!"

U-la——

There will always be a time when you shout a war cry on the battlefield, and as long as you are an infantryman, there will always be a chance and there will be no exception.

At the same time, Malashenko, who had just completed a round of heavy fire support and determined that the target had been destroyed based on the huge amount of debris raised by the explosion after the breakthrough, had also found his next target.

It was a Leopard tank destroyer that rushed to the front of the German armored formation, stopped while swaying, and tried to aim at itself.
