Illiterate people can't be tankers, or they can only be loaders.

Now, German tanks are a standard group of five.

There are three people in the turret, the gunner, the captain and the loader.

The artillery commander is responsible for operating the tank gun to fire, the vehicle commander is responsible for observing the surrounding conditions, indicating the target, and calculating some firing data in advance, while the loader is responsible for moving shells.

There are two people in front, the driver on the left and the electromechanical worker on the right.

Now, as the commander, weitman is quickly and effectively determining the firing data, which is a very simple proportional conversion.

His big triangle can just coincide with the triangle with a side length of two meters one kilometer away. Now, as long as he knows that the opposite tank is a T-26 tank with a width of 3.4 meters, he can convert the distance according to the proportional relationship between the other tank's width and his own triangle.

Yes, it's mental arithmetic. This is the knowledge that every vehicle commander and artillery commander must master, memorize the size of enemy tanks, and be able to do mental arithmetic at the same time!

After the rapid calculation, inform the gunner. According to the instructions, the gunner presses the button, the hydraulically driven turret rotates an angle and adjusts the elevation of the gun. Then, the gunner heard weitman's command.

"Fire!"

FireStarter! The gunner's hand pressed the firing button, and then the whole tank roared violently.

Boom!

At the muzzle, a fireball burst out. Right in front of the fireball, a blunt headed armor piercing bullet flew over!

Inside the turret, there was a choking smell of gunsmoke. Weitman shouted, "start!"

Start! The tank driver in front, after firing, had already finished the action of engaging gear. After weitman's order came, he stepped on the accelerator hard.

V12 diesel engine roared happily, driving the driving wheel and track, and began to move forward again!

All this is almost done at one go.

At this time, the 75mm armor piercing bullet just flew to the opposite side!

The blunt head accurately hit the T-26 body and collided with the body, making a huge sound.

At this moment, Kochakin was shocked, Christopher was shocked, and the loader was also shocked.

How is this possible?

Now, the distance between the two sides is 1500 meters. At this distance, the other side has accurately projected shells!

Soviet tankers almost always fire within 500 meters when shooting. Only in this way can they maintain the accuracy rate at more than 50%. At a distance of one kilometer, the best shooter can only ensure a 10% hit rate. Now, the other party actually hits himself accurately at this distance?

Their surprise lasted only a moment.

Then, the 15mm thick armor was forcibly smashed through, with countless flying scrap iron and huge kinetic energy. The armor piercing bullet with its head flattened came in at a speed of more than 500 meters per second.

"Boom!"

The ammunition inside the tank was detonated in an instant under the high temperature of impact! Huge flames and black smoke completely surrounded the tank. In the towering smoke column, half of the turret was forcibly lifted up!

There can be no living mouth! The battle of tanks is so cruel!

As in the battle song of the armored forces, if we are doomed, at least our loyal tanks will give us a metal grave!

Weitman's tanks were roaring, and the tail engine emitted black smoke. He rushed first towards the Soviet tanks in front. For him, those Soviet tanks were his prey and his victory!

Just now, when he saw the black smoke rising from the other party's tanks from the sight, there was a faint pleasure in his heart.

"Order company 1 not to rush too fast and pay attention to the formation!" In the rear, Kurt, the head of the 1st Armored Regiment, gave orders loudly.

Hearing his command, the electromechanical personnel in the command tank quickly turned the knob of their radio, adjusted it to the frequency band of company command, and shouted: "1 company, 1 company, don't rush too fast, keep the formation!"

The electromagnetic wave was transmitted silently. In the tank of the commander of company 1, the electromechanical personnel received the signal and turned the radio station in front of them from the receiving state to the transmitting state. In the frequency band inside company 1, they shouted loudly: "company 1, company 1, pay attention to keep the formation and don't rush too fast!"

After the shouting, he quickly switched to the receiving state.

The radio waves continued to pass. The electromechanical personnel of weitman's tank received the news and shouted to weitman, "the company commander said we rushed too fast!"

"Slow down and wait for our comrades in arms." Weitman shouted, and then he was happy: "800 meters ahead, 11 o'clock, a bt-5!"

In later films, we can see the pictures of these heroes. The tank men hold the radio and shout around on the public channel. In fact, this is simply impossible.

Armored 1st regiment, hundreds of tanks, if we shout together, there is only one result. There is noise everywhere, and no one can hear it.

Therefore, in the use of tank radio, the calls in different workshops are different channels, and the sending and answering also need to be switched back and forth. In the battle, the communication between vehicles is very frequent and the amount of information is very large.

In this case, the commander only commands the battle of the vehicle, which is a task requiring high concentration, so it is impossible to operate the complex radio station. Therefore, in the five person tank, there are full-time correspondents to carry out cumbersome radio operation. In the battle, they quickly send information according to the commander's instructions, receive and sort out the external information, and concisely convey it to the commander.

Of course, if tanks like the Soviet Union do not need electromechanical personnel, because they have no radio at all. They can rely on cavalry and carrier pigeons.

Or, show half of your body and command with body language.

For example, now, the turret of bt-5 tank in the target is open, and the commander shows his upper part and is shouting loudly.

Well, good, commendable courage!

"Boom!" Wittman's tank, fired for the second time.

In the sight, weitmann held his breath and observed the second result?

damn! It's flying!

The shells did not concentrate on the bt-5 tank, but flew over the top of the tank's turret! Right in front of its trajectory is the tank commander!

In the sight of the sight, it was just a sudden thing. Weitman saw the other party's conductor, the upper half of his body, and there was no one at once! 75mm armor piercing bullet directly hits people's body, which is absolutely instant meat!

The lower half of the body was intact. At this moment, it fell into the tank turret with blood.
