Chapter 1433 Confrontation 2

1300 meters! In the surprised eyes of the Japanese armored forces, the German armored forces stopped anxiously at almost the same time, and then launched the first round of attacks! A 75MM armor-piercing projectile whizzed and flew towards the distant target. After a while, a series of exploded light spots appeared in the Japanese tank group.

boom! When the turret of an MK1 tank was connected to the car body, a burst of flame suddenly burst out. The armor-piercing projectile was accurately lined up in this fragile part. The impact generated by the impact caused a large amount of metal fragments to peel off from the car body. There was an indiscriminate attack on the inside of the car. The 6 people inside the car killed 3 on the spot, and the other two were also severely injured.

The second and third rounds of attacks have already followed one after another before the Japanese have yet to slow down. The interval between each round of attacks is only about 7 seconds! Although continuous attacks may not be able to penetrate the armor of MK1 tanks, continuous attacks still pose a great threat to the Japanese armored forces.

Accompanied by the sound of broken tracks, an MK1 tank stopped 1200 meters away. One of the two MK1 tanks next to it was stuck and one of the turrets was stuck, and the other artillery was hanging down, which seemed to be a gun. There is a problem with the rack.

And when the distance is close to 1000 meters, the 75MM armor-piercing projectile of the Wolf tank can finally penetrate the frontal defense of the MK1 tank! Almost at the same time, two huge fireballs rose up in the Japanese tank formation. A 75MM shell successfully penetrated the armor belt on the front of the car body. The sharp warhead and the ensuing flames and fragments easily moved behind the armor. The group of members was torn to pieces, and by the way set a fire on the ammunition stacked behind the car body!

Another tank was punctured with a turret, and the dense shrapnel and flames directly turned the huge car body into a large oven. In less than 1 second, the entire body of the car was blown to pieces.

The battle between the two sides can be described as one-sided. Through a long-range attack in advance, the German tank platoon successfully paralyzed at least four Japanese tanks beyond the effective range of the opponent. And when entering the 1,000-meter line of life and death, dense and precise firepower quickly slaughtered Japanese armored units at extremely high speeds in a very short time.

"Fight back and kill those guys, otherwise we will all die!" A Japanese tank captain roared hysterically, a hoarse voice resounding throughout the tank, and a loader quickly sent a 6-pound shell into the barrel. Among them, a red flame flew out of the slender muzzle, flying towards the distant target. Soon, the remaining Japanese tanks fired dense shells at 700 to 900 meters.

"This shooting level is really bad..." When the Japanese's first counterattack came, everyone including Rommel let out a sigh of relief. The entire attack process is chaotic and it is almost a simple direct aim. For 99% of the tanks, shooting is about two points. The first is the stability of the attack platform, except for very few that can hit the target by feeling. Except for BT, all tanks must stop when attacking and can only fire after the artillery stabilizes. Otherwise the shells will definitely float. And the second point is ranging! There are two types of ranging, one is that you know the specific height of the target, and then determine the distance between the two sides according to the reference coordinates in the scope, and the other is to determine the target through continuous correction.

However, Japan... Most tankers are shooting while on the move, so good, this part of the attack can almost be ignored, and the other part of the attack is too rapid. The 57MM gun has a high rate of fire. That's for sure, but such a high rate of fire makes the gunner too late. Calculate the distance, so this is almost a blind fight.

Some Japanese tanks began to release smoke screens, but unfortunately, they obviously did not notice the direction of the wind. The smoke screens released by the front tanks directly obscured the view of the rear tanks. Then, under the action of the wind, they were still exposed to the sharp attack of the German tanks. ....

"This can't be called a battle!" In less than 1 minute, Rommel's crew fired 10 shells! At least 3 targets were successfully destroyed! To be honest, he has never seen it like a wild boar, directly facing the hunter's shotgun... There is no efficient smoke screen, and there is no constant emergency stop to disturb the opponent's aim. It was easily killed like a queue... A series of explosions came from the outside of the tank. The Japanese tanks not far away turned into burning iron boxes under precise shots. Although there are more tanks in the back, but to be honest, Rommel is not at all. Not afraid of them!

"Damn it, are all the Germans made monsters?" As the distance approached, the hit rate of the 57MM guns of the Japanese MK1 tanks also rose sharply, and one round hit the armor plate on the front of the wolf tank. , The strengthened frontal armor is still strong enough, and because it is made of cast steel plates instead of willow knots, the defense strength is greatly improved, and it will not cause the steel plate to deform under continuous blows, rivets, and armor plates fall off. .

Bah, a 6-pound shell hit the wide head armor of the Wolf tank. The hard armor directly smashed the warhead. With a crisp sound and scattered shrapnel debris, a shallow dent appeared. On the front of the steel plate. Rommel’s tank was worse. It seemed that the opponent had determined from the whip antenna behind the tank that it was a command tank, so it began to focus its fire attack, and one round of shells landed on the front hemisphere of the wolf tank. There was a series of fires. Feel the vibration of the car body, and the sour noise produced by the impact. Rommel is unexpectedly calm ~lightnovelpub.net~ For more than a year, the British still don't know how to change. "The skilled intelligent tank evacuated backwards, reopened the distance, and repeated the previous aiming and shooting. Once again, another MK1 tank was beaten into a pile of burning rubble. In the frontal battle just now, it took advantage of its performance. Rommel's platoon easily blocked the Japanese attack by more than twice.

On the side, the Japanese Renault tanks also showed their disadvantages in the battle. There are two types of Renault. One is equipped with a 37MM artillery, while the other is equipped with a machine gun. It is also conscientious. This type of machine gun is very rare. However, the artillery version of Renault still cannot beat crickets!

So far, the French Renault can still appear on the battlefield for two reasons. The first reason is that the French do not expect this thing to fight armored warfare. The 37MM gun hits machine gun bunkers at most, and the western front is solidified. Therefore, both sides More defense still relies on rapid-fire guns. And another reason is that this thing is cheap and easy to produce, which meets the current industrial level in France. In the same situation, the cricket tank is also somewhat outdated. The 2-pounder gun is too small, but it is still in heavy service in the German army.
