How long does it take to stop, aim, shoot and restart? For experienced tank groups, it can be controlled within ten seconds. For tank groups such as modlin, five seconds is enough.

When they just started, they were aiming all the time, just waiting for the opportunity. Both sides were moving forward. At this time, they only need to fine tune the angle of the tank turret. As for the pitching of the gun body, as long as the distance is determined, the elevation angle is also determined.

As early as after the start of the deployment, the loader had stuffed the shells into the gun chamber to deal with the T-34 tank. The 88mm ordinary. Pzg.39 armor piercing bullet was more than enough.

"Boom!" Modlin's tank gun, fire first! A black smoke came out of the muzzle, and the warhead flew towards the Soviet tank opposite in the hot gas.

One second after his tank gun opened fire, the nearby Tiger tank also opened fire. Two seconds later, eight Panther 3 tanks on both sides opened fire almost at the same time.

The black smoke from the muzzle spread rapidly and shrouded the whole formation. Modlin's order came from the radio again: "move on!"

An armor piercing bullet accurately hit the turret of a T-34. The turret with a large inclination angle can make the shell bounce like floating water.

However, the armour piercing bullet was not bounced off. The hood in front of it was almost smashed at once. When it was smashed, it bounced slightly, but later, the hood was smashed off.

The blunt head at the back was exposed by the cap and hit the top of the T-34. At this time, the blunt head had a strange effect. When the flying shell came into contact with the turret of the T-34, it was easy to jump at a large angle, but after the blunt head hit it, it twisted the shell rigidly.

This is the outstanding role of blunt head armor piercing projectile. It can provide a good positive effect and let the warhead shoot directly, so that its energy can be fully applied and the loss is less!

In World War II, due to the existence of the positive effect, blunt head armor piercing bullets were widely used. At the same time, because blunt head would bring greater flight resistance, a sharp hood would be put on the front, which is the most common helmet (hood) armor piercing bullets.

The armor piercing bullet on the German 88mm tank gun also has a penetration depth of 99mm at a distance of one kilometer. The 90mm armor at a 60 degree angle on the front of the T-34 tank can't stop the German armor piercing bullet at all!

After all, this is Soviet armor. If it is converted into German armor, its thickness is less than 80mm.

The hood and quilt in front are made of relatively soft material. Under the impact, they will deform, even melt or bounce off. The armor piercing bullet in the back really plays the role of armor piercing.

The warhead of the steel core armor piercing bullet behind, like a relay race, began its task. It drilled towards the turret of the T-34 at a speed of more than 700 meters per second.

The material of this turret is not hard at all. At the same time, when it was halfway through the drill, it felt that the front was suddenly loose and hit a big bubble!

As long as it is a cast turret, bubbles can not be avoided, which is determined by the basic metallurgical principle. However, Soviet tanks use cast turrets without exception because this turret is more convenient and easy to form the best bulletproof shape.

At the same time, it is also due to welding technology.

It is not so easy to weld the thick steel plates, especially to keep the mechanical strength of the weld not reduced. Germany did the best in World War II.

A few millimeters of a big bubble let it breathe a sigh of relief. Then it continued to drill forward with all its strength. Finally, it completely penetrated this time.

"Boom!" When the shell went in, just behind the turret was a pile of ammunition. It hit the ammunition accurately. Then, in the fierce martyrdom explosion, the T-34 tank exploded.

From the seat ring, a black smoke came out. Then, the turret jumped up half a meter high from the body and fell heavily. No one could escape from it. They all disappeared with the tank.

The bitter war kicked off!

Move on, move on!

The Soviet tank soldiers knew that their 76mm tank guns had to be within 500 meters to have a sufficient hit rate. Especially now the Germans are in a dense formation, which is simply increasing their hit rate. They need to be desperate to narrow the distance between the two sides to 500 meters!

No sacrifice!

Constantly, T-34 tanks were shot and caught fire. The tanks behind them started up in obscurity to supplement the lack of air. This frontal steel collision is comparing who is stronger!

Soviet tank soldiers are not afraid of death!

When the bell tank formation rushed to a distance of 500 meters, it had fired volley five or six times. Each time even if only two tanks were hit, it had killed about ten tanks opposite!

This number is terrible, because there are fifteen such bell formations!

This means that at a distance of 500 meters from 1000 meters, the Soviet Union lost more than 100 tanks, which is only a conservative figure. In fact, only modlin's own tanks killed three opposite Soviet tanks, modlin's formation killed 16 opposite tanks!

During the attack, the Soviet tank troops were already scattered. At this time, the commander of the 35th Soviet tank division had realized that it was bad.

If this goes on, his troops will soon be gone!

As the distance approached, the hit rate of shells also increased. Finally, the remaining T-34 tanks began to fight back.

FireStarter!

The gunner severely stepped on the launcher, and the 76mm shell flew towards the opposite side!

The Germans, even in such a dense formation, are looking for a fight!

The Soviet tank soldiers roared, and their shells flew one by one towards the opposite.

"Bang!" A 76 mm blunt armour piercing bullet hit the armor of the Tiger tank. In the battle just now, it has been in the state of being beaten. Now, it is finally going to fight back!

The blunt head also easily straightened the shell and began to drill hard into it, but then it found that the armor in front was so hard?

The hardness of ceramic armor is, of course, harder than the densest armor steel in Germany! The 76 mm armor piercing bullet drills hard and consumes a lot of energy.

When it finally loosened its head, it felt that it almost took all its strength. It was relieved and thought it had drilled through. Then, the head was covered with hard things.

Just drilled through the composite armor, and now it's the official turret armor!
