The moment the shell flew out of the muzzle, two versions of the original sabot fell down, the wing at the tail extended, and the speed of the warhead began to decrease.

From the outside, the 75mm auxiliary gun is very small. Compared with the 128mm cannon, it is like a matchstick. Moreover, its double diameter is also small, which is shorter than the 75mm gun equipped on Panther 2. In this way, the only way to improve its performance is to use new ammunition.

Although the guns are somewhat different, the ammunition is universal. Now the 75mm armor piercing shells on the mouse tank are almost this kind of sub caliber armor piercing shells.

This is also the reason why the Gunners of rat tanks prefer to use 128 mm guns rather than 75 mm guns, because the cost of this armor piercing bullet is almost twice that of 128 mm blunt head armor piercing bullet.

In the air, the tungsten alloy bullet core reduces the speed while flying. At the same time, its flight speed is hardly affected. In this second, the opposite tank does not make any maneuver at all.

In the mobile operation of tanks, sudden braking is often used. Experienced shooters will design the advance. When the tank suddenly brakes, the shells will fly past the front.

However, in the opposite process, if it stops, it can only rely on rapid acceleration. Before the arrival of the other party's shells, get out of at least half of the vehicle length, and you can avoid the other party's attack.

This is also the performance of tanks with 12001500 HP diesel engine and advanced hydraulic transmission in later generations. In this era, no tank can do it, even the Panther 3 tank in Germany.

Now, the Stalin tank has stopped, and it did not expect the German attack to be so fast!

If the rat tank still uses the main gun to fight back, it will take time to load. It is absolutely impossible to fire in a second. Now, this tank, which has almost just stopped, is intimately contacted by the second 75mm armor piercing bullet.

The round turret has a good shape of avoiding bullets. After the 75mm armor piercing bullet hit the turret, it did not jump. It steadily pierced a small hole and began to drill inward.

Compared with the previous armor piercing shells, the biggest advantage of this sub caliber armor piercing shell is that the opening to be opened is very small, its diameter is small, the hole to be worn is small, and less energy will be lost.

Anyway, it does not directly kill the enemy by warhead impact. There is no big difference in warhead mass.

The Soviets were very proud of Stalin's tank. In previous battles, it even resisted the attack of 88mm Tiger tank shells, but now, a 75mm armor piercing bullet like a steel needle still pierced it.

When the armor piercing bullet drilled into the turret, it bounced back and forth three or four times, stirring the interior of the turret into flesh and blood, but fortunately, it did not explode.

The hatch cover in front was opened, and only the driver limped out of it. One of his feet was cut off. He thought the tank was about to explode and rolled down.

Kill one again. Now, there are three tanks left!

Just as Hans opened fire on the tank, Captain Kurt was already observing the other three, of which the nearest one was close to 200 meters, a very dangerous distance!

"Turn right 15 degrees, Stalin tank, 200 meters, fire!" Kurt shouted.

For mature tanks, at least three team members are required in the turret.

The commander of the vehicle is responsible for observing the surrounding conditions and directing the targets to the artillery commander. The artillery commander is responsible for quickly operating the tank gun to aim and shoot, while the loader is responsible for loading ammunition. Only by dividing the work and cooperation among the three people can we give full play to the maximum efficiency.

The rat tank has two loaders because of its sufficient internal space and too heavy shells.

At this time, the No. 1 loader loaded the 128 mm gun and the No. 2 loader loaded the 75 mm gun. Everything was orderly. Just as Hans turned the turret, the 75 mm tank gun was loaded again, and the 128 mm shell was still being loaded semi automatically.

At a distance of 200 meters, even without sight, you can hit it directly by experience. The German tankers are, and the Soviet tankers are even more so.

When it was found that the mouse tank could not be penetrated at a distance of 300 meters, the Soviet tank soldiers risked their lives and approached to a distance of 200 meters. When the German tank turret turned and was ready to fire at him, the bold commander ordered to fire.

They have only one chance.

Yes, it's a chance. In the battle just now, the German tanks showed strong performance, that is, the loading speed is too fast. The sub loaded 122 mm tank gun is too slow to load shells. They don't have a second chance at all. They can only fight once!

"Fire!" On Stalin's tank, with the commander's order, a fireball flew out of the tank muzzle with black smoke, and the whole tank shook with it.

This distance was terrible, and they had no time to reload. Therefore, just after the fire, Stalin's tanks did not retreat. On the contrary, the tankers drove the tanks and continued to rumble forward.

Run backward, but you can't run the other party's shells. Run forward, maybe you can find new fighters. You can only move forward, not backward, before destroying the other party!

In World War II, the Soviet tankers were the most tragic and brave.

They often drive tanks whose performance is lower than that of the Germans. For example, they surround Tiger tanks with T-34. They rely on the tactics of tank sea. The sacrifice of some tanks paves the way for the sneak attack around the back of the other party.

Now, they still think that if they attract the fire of the other party, they can create opportunities for the tanks next to them.

It all depends on how fast the German tanks shoot, and in this regard, the Germans have always been a miracle maker.

"Boom!" Almost at the same time that Stalin's tanks opened fire, the rat tanks also opened fire, and the shells of both sides were flying towards each other at high speed.

If you can take a closer look, you can see that the smoke of the rat tank is not from the main gun, but from the auxiliary gun!

In contrast, 75mm shells are loaded faster. When it is found that 75mm armor piercing shells can penetrate each other, Hans will no longer waste 128mm shell loading time.

The 122 mm shell first flew over. After all, the Soviets fired a few seconds earlier.

The shell did not hit the turret, but hit the lower body of the rat tank!

The Soviet tankers, of course, didn't just know to rush forward. They also had tactics. When they found that the 122 mm tank gun could not destroy the other party's turret, they simply greeted the other party's body!
