German turrets don't turn fast.

One saying is that if you rotate fast, it is not easy to improve the accuracy. Look at the gear density of the seat ring. At the same time, the biggest reason is the weight of the turret.

The turret is certainly not rotated manually. If the turret is driven by hydraulic or electric power, there is a driving limit problem. When the auxiliary power power is not enough, the turret cannot rotate fast.

For the German fleet, this problem is not a problem. Although they can't turn the turret quickly, they still have another unique skill.

Turn around.

At this time, the ground was full of mud, and the track more than one meter wide began to rotate.

Forward on the right and backward on the left. When Schmidt killed the steering wheel in front, the tank chassis received the command to turn in place. The whole tank began to turn in place with the center as the axis.

If it is on hard ground, this barbaric operation may cause some terrible consequences. For example, the crawler falls off during rotation, which is a big trouble. However, now, the ground is extremely wet and slippery. When the crawler rotates, it forcibly pushes the side out of mud more than half a meter high.

The car body is rotating and the turret is rotating. While they rotate together, the muzzle is rotating rapidly.

In the turret basket, gunner sergeant calpanette's vision changed rapidly.

The Soviets were also quick.

"Boom!" Yakov's muzzle burst out a flame, and a 152 mm armor piercing bullet flew towards the opposite side. At this time, the German tanks were turning. Their speed was very fast, but they only completed half of the turning, just facing him on the side of the widest turret.

Huge shells flew to the turret of the rat tank, and then made close contact with the armor on the side of the turret.

It smashed the armor outside the turret and began to drill inside. At the same time, the speed was dropping rapidly. Soon, it stopped.

No penetration.

For ordinary tanks, the front is the thickest, the side is the second, and the back is the smallest. This is true, but not for mouse tanks. Its front is 240 mm thick, while the side and back are indeed thinner, only 220 mm.

This gap is nothing at all. A 152 mm armor piercing projectile cannot penetrate the front, nor the side and back!

If the opponent really wants to win, attacking the walking mechanism below is the right way, provided that the depression angle is enough.

The rat tank is absolutely safe. You don't have to worry about any risk of breakdown. Now, listening to the sound of being hit again outside, the people inside the turret don't care at all. The target finally appeared in front of sergeant karpanette.

Fire in turn.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

One su-152 was named.

When shooting to the third vehicle, the other party suddenly had a black smoke from the engine at the tail and began to retreat!

The Soviets, too, know fear? Where did you go just now?

Yakov is not afraid.

The Soviet Union now has few armored forces, and the shortage of oil makes it difficult for them. At this time, the service of su-152 is of great significance. They can directly destroy German Tiger tanks.

They are what the front needs most.

As a result, in the light rain, a new German tank was accidentally found. Yakov had planned to kill the tank to enhance his own confidence.

As a result, more than a dozen of his own chariots were destroyed, and he was deeply impressed by the other party's terrible firepower, terrible firing speed and terrible mobility.

At the same time, his last effort failed.

He had intended to go around the back and destroy it, but when he found that the back could not be destroyed, it was meaningless for him to continue fighting.

It is his mission to keep the last two su-152 and go to the front line to deal with more tiger and Panther tanks, rather than continue to consume them here.

So Yakov ordered a retreat.

In the drizzle, they easily got into the rain and left. It was easy to leave the battlefield.

At the same time, their two chariots separated in two directions, making it easier to escape.

They can't move forward, it will give each other a chance, they can only go backwards.

If it is a tank with advanced hydraulic transmission system in later generations, it can escape as fast as moving forward. However, Soviet tanks do not have this function.

Its reversing is quite slow because it takes the lead. It really retreats into the rain. According to Yakov's plan, after retreating a certain distance and completely safe, it can continue to move forward. In this way, it can bypass the other party and retreat quickly.

But his idea is naive.

When he found that two chariots had retreated, Hans knew that it was impossible to annihilate the other party today. So far, he has killed more than a dozen tanks. In this battle, many tank commanders will envy his achievements.

Now, he can only kill one more, no more.

Which way?

Hans had no other way to judge, just relying on his intuition, chose the one on the left.

In this era of tanks, the driver is still on the left, so when chasing the tank on the left, the driver can find the target earlier.

"Chase the enemy on the left and don't let it run away!"

With Hans's order, Schmidt stepped on the accelerator again. The more than 100 ton body of the rat tank began to accelerate, and a black smoke came out from the tail.

The gasoline engine rumbled, the current entered the motor and turned into power, and the tank began to roar forward.

In the rain, everything seems to be hidden. Where is the enemy?

Schmidt's eyes looked ahead, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Turn on the night vision." Just then Hans gave the order again.

At present, the active infrared night vision is almost the standard configuration of all armored soldiers. Some infantry have also begun to be equipped with individual night vision. This equipment that relies on infrared headlights to find targets is mainly used at night.

Now, Hans has a whim. In addition to the night, it also has some advantages.

The moment the infrared headlights are lit, a column of white fog appears in front. This is the release of infrared rays, which makes the surrounding water vapor transpiration immediately. In an instant, the distance they can see should be more than doubled.

Originally, he could only see 30 meters away, but now he can see at least 60 meters away. Then Schmidt was a joy. The fleeing chariot appeared in his vision.
