Chapter 242: Unstoppable

"Hey, come down, come down!" The soldier yelled to the front as he ran, "This is live ammunition, you will be hit!"

The soldier was reluctant when he got this old Maozi in the car. However, as a soldier, he must obey orders as his bounden duty. He could only bring this old Maozi up. Who knows, this old Maozi is really restless!

Although the 59 tank is relatively old, its cross-country speed is not slow. The soldier leaned on two legs and chased for a while. The distance was getting larger and larger, and it was about to enter the area of ​​live ammunition. Able to stop, squat down, gasping for breath.

"Quickly, report to the superior." Behind him, other people also chased up, tired out of breath, he took a few breaths, and shouted to the company commander.

The company commander shook his head: "No, we don't have a channel for contact."

As the Blue Army, their tanks have radios, but now, they have jumped off the tanks, and there is no way to contact them.

If you continue to run forward, it will be the area where the live ammunition is fired. If you go there, you will be killed and bypass the exercise area? Leaning on two legs, it took several hours, and when I arrived at the exercise headquarters, the firefight was over.

Since this old Maozi wants to die by himself, there is nothing he can do!

Ivanov didn't feel like he was dead. In his eyes, this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity for him to truly feel the true level of the Leopard-2 tank!

The Blue Army tanks here are still lined up in neat rows, spaced apart and advancing forward, but the tanks have long been empty, and they are completely zombie tanks.

In the earphones, there was a voice from the exercise headquarters: "Attention, the blue army, the blue army, if there is still a car that hasn't jumped off, please jump off the car immediately, the live ammunition shooting will begin immediately, and the live ammunition shooting will begin immediately!"

This is one-sided, and there is no need to answer. If you hear an answer at this time, it means that someone hasn't jumped down.

Unless it's a killer, if you're in a car, you just won't get off.

Under normal circumstances, this situation did not happen. Now, no one thought that there was a guy who died in the corner of the blue army queue.

Ivanov held his binoculars in his hand. Although he was in the third row, because the formation of the tanks was very sparse, his vision was not blocked too much. Now, he can clearly see Those Leopard-2 tanks that came here.

The body of this tank is tall and, if viewed from the front, it is facing the thick barrel, which is really scary. It is a symbol of firepower and is the largest caliber tank gun in the West!

Ivanov carefully adjusted his telescope, and from the scale inside, he could read the distance between the two sides.

Now it is three kilometers, and it will be close to two kilometers soon. Can they fire at two kilometers?

Leopard-2 tank.

Previously, in the 59 tank, the communication between the crew was based on roaring. Only the throat microphone could transmit the sound, but in the Leopard-2, it was not necessary.

The Leopard-2 uses a tank helmet, and the pickup is right next to the mouth, so you can speak at any time. Although the power of the rear engine is as high as 1500 horsepower, the sound insulation is quite good, and only a few noises are transmitted to the front.

Even Liu Minggang's command doesn't need to be so loud.

"Attention, armor-piercing bullets, reload!"

Following his order, in the bumpy tank, the loader held the DM13 tail to stabilize the shelling armor-piercing projectile and forced it into the barrel.

Compared with the previous 59 tanks, other people are labor-saving. After all, the improvement of automation makes them very easy, but for the loader, this is not the case.

Its shells are nearly twice as heavy as the previous 59 tank shells! Almost already reached the upper limit of the loader's physical strength!

Therefore, when he was selected to enter the car group, some people once put forward their opinions and simply recruited some loader!

The loader does not need any skills, as long as there is strength, the training is very simple.

In the previous 59 tanks, because of the small internal space, the tankers were small, and so was the loader. He was not six meters tall yet!

The lower the height, the weaker the physical fitness. There is no doubt that the current Leopard-2 tank, even if it recruits 1.75 meters of soldiers, it is no problem to move the shells in this way.

This proposal was resolutely opposed by the loader. In order to show that their physical strength was sufficient, they trained every day and raised artillery shells when nothing happened. In the end, they proved their ability with their own actions and stayed in the tank.

Who wouldn't want to come to Leopard-2 tank? At this time, I want to get rid of us loader, no way!

If it is a long time and fast shooting, the loader's physical strength may not be able to keep up, but now, the target is only 30 vehicles in total, which is absolutely no problem.

"Loading is complete." The loader shouted loudly.

"Attention, the target ahead, the distance is two thousand and five, ready to fire!" Liu Minggang shouted.

Hearing Liu Minggang's call, the gunner immediately began to fiddle with the equipment in front of him.

For any gunner shooting, the first step is to find the distance. Only by knowing how far the two sides are, can you know how high the tank gun is adjusted to.

In the past, tank ranging used the simplest visual principle. On one's own sight, there were reticles. After seeing the opponent's tank, the width of the car's body occupies a few squares, and it can be scaled. calculated.

For this ranging, you need to know the exact width of the opponent's tank in advance, and then the tanker's mental arithmetic ability must be very strong. Therefore, most of the time, it is estimated, and the error can even be as high as 100 meters.

And now, on the top of the Leopard-2 tank, the yttrium aluminum garnet laser rangefinder emits a laser beam that is invisible to the naked eye and travels at the speed of light. It hits the opposite tank almost instantly, and then reflects back, showing In the lower part of the gunner’s sight.

"The distance is two thousand four hundred and eighty meters." The gunner shouted loudly. At the same time, the tank's digital computer from General Electric Telefunken began to solve the problem at high speed.

In less than a second, all parameters have been taken into consideration, including target distance, vehicle inclination angle, target movement direction, crosswind and ballistic data, etc. The calculation has been completed.

After calculation by the fire control computer, the barrel of the tank has spontaneously started to rotate and raise, aligning with the gunner’s EMES15 line of sight.

Compared to the previous operation, everything is now automated.

"Aiming completed." The gun commander shouted.

"Fire!"

Following the order to fire, the gunner stepped on the firing device severely.
