Chapter 534 Are you going to run your horse?

The turbid air mixed with the smell of gasoline floated inside the tank. The German armored soldiers who had just fired two shots at the Soviet infantry position saw the scene they least wanted to see.

The armored behemoths roaring out from the blind spots on both sides of the village are powerful Soviet heavy tanks. These Soviet heavy tanks that are extremely difficult to deal with in battle are even more so than the T34. Once they encounter the Soviet army The heavy tank force is definitely a fierce battle for the German armored soldiers that may not even protect their lives.

"Stop attacking the position, the target is those Russian heavy tanks! Prepare to fire!"

The frightened German army quickly turned its guns to prepare for the steel confrontation that was about to break out. Malashenko, who had just sat in the tank for a while, was also giving orders to his crew members.

"Kirill, load armor-piercing rounds! Iushkin, give priority to dealing with those German long-nosed Panzer IV tanks. These bastards pose the greatest threat to us!"

"Understood, Comrade Commander!"

The long-nosed Panzer IV is the nickname given to the German Army's new Panzer IV F2 tank by the soldiers of the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment. They prefer to call it this easy-to-understand name rather than the convoluted official name. In the end, even Malashenko called Kailai a smooth nickname.

The total output of the German Army's new Type IV F2 medium tank so far is still a mystery to Malashenko. In my impression, the German Army's Type IV F2 medium tank should have just begun mass production at this time, but it is coming one after another. The bad news that emerged further deepened Malashenko's worries.

"Damn it, I guess the tiger will be out of the cage in a month or two at the latest. Who knows how much the timeline of these German guys has been accelerated? Damn it!"

There is essentially no big difference between the active change of self-will and the passive butterfly effect. A double-edged sword derived from the intervention of the time traveler is accelerating the tank timeline of the Soviet and German armies at the same time. There is no doubt that the future has become increasingly difficult to accurately predict based on the original historical trend.

boom--

With a loud sound, the 75 mm full-caliber hooded armor-piercing projectile was ejected from the barrel and rushed toward the Soviet army. The German tank, which was parked and could fire stably, opened fire first and launched the attack. Malashenko, who had just ordered to stop and fire, opened fire. Before he finished speaking, the car was directly hit by an armor-piercing bullet.

Ding-ding——

Being able to destroy the T34 medium tank from the front within a regular combat distance does not mean that it can ravage the IS1 at will. The strong sloping armor on the upper part of the vehicle body abruptly caught the armor-piercing projectile that was fired at an incorrect angle and was eager to fire. One was not too deep. The shallow pit in the armor was the only "result" left by the No. 4 F2's first fire.

The main gun sight with four times magnification could clearly see the domineering appearance of the Iron Father at a distance of 700 meters. The German gunner, who had never seen this new Soviet heavy tank before, was a little shocked. His mouth opened wide. The armor-piercing bullet that had just been struck by the armor on the front of the opponent's car body was forcibly struck by him. He could clearly see the next scene.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is that!? The armor actually caught our shells!"

A roar from the gunner made the German commander instantly confused. The commander's periscope with low magnification and wide viewing angle could not see clearly what was different about the leading Soviet heavy tank 800 meters away, and even the commander just now could not see anything different. It was completely unclear whether that shot penetrated the armor or not.

"Confirmed! The Russian tank is still moving! The armor has not been penetrated!"

Another loud roar from the gunner made the German commander's brows twist even more into a twist.

The 43 times caliber 75mm tank gun carried by my new vehicle is currently the latest and most powerful tank gun of the German army. It can destroy the Soviet T34 medium tank from the front at a distance of 800 meters as long as it does not ricochet. This is what I have learned. According to the accurate values ​​obtained after the live-fire test of the captured T34, there is no problem in penetrating the KV1, which has a high physical thickness but a small tilt angle.

But now the so-called new heavy tank of the Soviet Army directly caught this 75 mm full-caliber armor-piercing projectile. If this was a ricochet, it would be useless. After all, even if it is equipped with a converted armor-piercing projectile, it cannot be 100% Anti-bounce is reasonable, but being caught by the opponent's frontal armor without a ricochet is the most unbearable thing.

As soon as the new equipment that I just put on arrived on the battlefield and I was ready to try it out, I was directly beaten and mercilessly slapped in the face by the opponent. No one can bear this kind of thing. All the hard work was wasted in an instant. This is what I said. situation.

The German captain forced himself to mentally suggest that the problem was the incorrect angle of incidence of the armor-piercing bullet just now. The German captain, who was completely unaware that cold sweat had begun to break out on his forehead, then pressed the throat sounder and spoke. Order.

"All crews, adjust the angle of incidence against the Russian tanks! Try to destroy them from the front at a large angle of incidence! Allow maneuvering to deploy to new firing positions!"

"Where are you running your horse?"

boom--

Almost at the same time as the German captain and commander gave the order, Malashenko, who had been shot directly without doing anything, once again spit out sweet words and yelled out those curse words that Iushkin could not understand at all.

Iushkin, who had long been accustomed to this, already guessed what Malashenko meant just by listening to his tone. Then he instantly stepped on the firing pedal and directly inserted a Kirill round into the 85mm hood of the gun breech. Armor-piercing grenades blasted out of the barrel.

The shooting distance of less than 800 meters is fleeting for an 85mm hooded armor-piercing grenade with a muzzle velocity of up to 790 meters per second.

The Panzer IV F2 medium tank, whose armor thickness has not been strengthened at all, still only has 50 mm of armor protection on the front of the body, and this low-level protection does not have any equivalent bonus from tilted armor, as long as the angle of incidence and its There is no possibility of ricochet for Tricky.

For the 85mm D-5T tank gun, which can still penetrate more than 100mm of armor at a distance of 800 meters, this inferior armor protection is simply easier than cutting a cream cake.

The huge explosion of ammunition and the fiery shock wave instantly swept through everything on the surrounding land.

Except for the turret, which was lifted seven or eight meters high and then fell from the air, still maintaining its roughly intact shape, the entire body of the No. 4 tank had been reduced to the state of assembled parts and exploded into pieces. The power of the car's gasoline and the eighty ready-to-fire 75mm custom tank gun shells is enough to destroy everything in an instant.
