Imperial Overlord

Wegner, Wittmann's gunner, was firing at a Soviet tank, and his gun was aimed at a forward-moving T-26, a very easy target.

These tanks are very fast, so when they are moving fast, it is difficult to get hit by large-caliber artillery.

Of course, this is difficult to be relative. Most of the time, the t-26 tanks are heading towards the German tanks, so their speed advantage should not affect the German aiming too much.

In this kind of terrain, the Germans did not have any good options. After all, they were a bit hasty in the challenge, and they couldn't find a terrain suitable for them to start the battle.

"Damn it! There are too many of them!" Duke, who was in charge of driving the tank, complained loudly while reversing.

Just as they were complaining, the Soviet tanks spread out more on the wings - about 50 tanks of various types were spread out on the front, which looked very spectacular.

This may be the largest tank battle between the two sides since the beginning of the Soviet-German war. The Soviet Union did not have t-34 tanks before, so the overall strength could not keep up with this time.

With the addition of the t-34 tank, this tank battle is destined to become very tragic. As soon as the two sides began to fight, they entered the most intense climax.

Keep as far away as possible from the enemy, this is the German tank code of engagement. Taking advantage of their own artillery and destroying opponents with armor and artillery is the favorite thing of the German armored soldiers.

The sky was filled with fine raindrops, and the rain hit the icy tank armor, making a crackling sound.

The slightly square turret of the Panther tank slowly rotated in the rain, aiming the thick 88mm caliber cannon at the distant target.

"Boom!" A puff of white smoke spewed out, and the cannonball rushed towards the distant target like lightning.

On this side, the thick smoke from the muzzle that should have been gradually dissipated was dispersed by the rain, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Wittmann's crew has fired 5 shells, hitting three hits and two misses.

After all, it was a rainy day, and it was a hit result while the opponent's tank was traveling, which was already considered very good.

However, the reserve ammunition of the Panther tank is not much, because the volume inside the tank is really not enough.

This rhythm wears off, and the German tanks will soon be submerged in the steel torrent of Soviet tanks.

"Steady! Wegner! You are the best! Improve your hit rate! Hold on for another hour, and our reinforcements will arrive!" Wittmann pressed the communicator on his throat and shouted to Wegner.

Wegner was depressed. After all, under normal weather, his hit accuracy was among the best in the army.

Obviously he didn't want to lose face at such a time, and calmly used his sight to lock on a t-34 tank again.

The opponent had already stopped and was ready to fire. Obviously, at this distance, the Soviet tank crew also dared to make a bold attempt to challenge the armor of the Panther tank with their own artillery.

Inside the scope, the t-34 tank spewed out a puff of white smoke, apparently already firing, Wegner did not hesitate, and pressed the firing switch.

The recoil of the artillery made the entire Panther tank tremble, and the artillery in the car shrank back suddenly, and then pulled back to its original position.

Everyone knew that another shell was fired, but they didn't know if it hit the distant target accurately.

Only the commander Wegener's scope can accurately see this picture. The shell did hit the t-34 tank, but it did not penetrate the armor of the t-34.

Because of the angle, the sloping armor of the t-34 tank bounced off the shell, which made Wegener depressed.

He had to loudly order Homan, the loader, to continue loading a shell, so that he could attack again before the opponent's tank moved.

Homan didn't hesitate at all. After hearing Wegner's order, he immediately took out an armor-piercing bullet from his side and stuffed it into the gun chamber.

Wegener, who was controlling the artillery, did not hesitate, and directly pressed the switch to fire, and fired a new shell.

This time he did some fine-tuning, so the shells rammed into a distant Soviet t-34 tank in a different place.

The shell still did not deviate and hit the t-34 tank in the rain. This time the shell was not bounced, but penetrated the front armor of the t-34 tank.

It does not mean that if the armor-piercing projectile can penetrate at a certain distance, it will certainly penetrate the enemy's armor. This is a matter of luck and cannot be forced.

For example, if the angle of the enemy tank is slightly deviated, it may cause the ricochet effect of the shell being bounced.

At the same time, the breakdown experiments were obtained in theoretical situations, and in actual combat situations, there are many different results.

For example, some soldiers will stack sandbags or hoist logs in front of the tank to increase the defense capability of their tank.

To give the simplest example - in real historical time and space, the artillery penetration data of the Stalin 2 tank and the thickness of its own tank armor are stronger than that of the Tiger tank, but the performance in actual combat is very mediocre.

In actual combat, the German Tiger tank defeated the Stalin 2 tank more than once, which is completely contrary to the conclusion of the paper data.

On the one hand, it is because of the high technical and tactical level of the German tank ace, and on the other hand, it is also because the Soviet army attaches great importance to test data, but ignores other details.

For example, the armor of the Stalin 2 tank is cast, and the casting quality during wartime is not high, resulting in a large number of air bubbles in the armor, so the actual protection level does not meet the drawing standards.

Therefore, at the distance that can be penetrated, it is not surprising that the armor of the t-34 tank cannot be penetrated. After all, the protection level of the t-34 at this distance still has a certain ability to resist.

What's more ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In fact, the t-34 tank has a very fatal flaw, and this flaw has not been fully compensated until the end of World War II.

The driver's hatch of the t-34 tank, as well as the observation window, and the directional machine gun are integrated on the armor plate on the front of the tank. This opening is much larger than the Panther's directional machine gun opening.

In such an armor plate, two holes, one large and one small, were opened, which seriously affected the armor protection strength.

So the Germans found a trick, as long as you aim at the hatch and fire, you can achieve an easier breakdown effect.

The cannon of the Wittmann crew members just happened to hit the edge of the hatch, tearing open the armor of the t-34 tank and killing the members inside.

There was no fire and explosion. In the rain, the t-34 tank didn't move again, just stopped there, letting the rain beat.
