The Soviet Union's research on anti tank guns began in 36 years. It can be said that it was the Spanish Civil War that put heavy pressure on the Soviets on anti tank weapons.

After that, the Soviet design unit designed 15 kinds of anti tank rifles with different calibres from 12.7 mm to 25 mm. After a large number of investigations and experiments, the scheme of the Soviet small arms range scientific research group was finally affirmed.

This is a 14.5mm anti tank gun code named ptrr-39.

It is 1.7m long, of which the barrel is 1180mm and the weight is about 24kg. Using ordinary bullets at 500 meters, they pierced 20 mm armor placed at 20 degrees, and 30 mm armor at 100 meters.

However, in the history of later generations, this gun did not shine brightly and its production was complex. At the same time, the Soviets felt that it was overpowerful. This gun was produced very little and was finally cut down.

As a result, after the Barbarosa plan, the Soviet Union found that they didn't have a suitable anti tank gun in their hands! As a result, in a hurry, I got the ptrs-41 rifle, which is a handy weapon.

Now, in the Spanish Civil War, the sudden emergence of panther tanks surprised the Soviets, so they beat up this anti tank gun and sent it to the Spanish battlefield to test its performance.

But now, this test has not yet begun, it has been captured here!

Any armored soldier wants his tank to be thick enough to withstand the attack of the other party. He absolutely doesn't want to be punctured by the other party!

Now that the Soviets have discovered such weapons, goodrian is very cautious.

So, in the square of the railway station, where the fierce exchange of fire just broke out, we found an open space to test this anti tank gun.

Elijah, the machine gunner in the armored Grenadier, undertook the test task. Before becoming a machine gunner, he was an anti tank gun shooter and had rich experience in using Germany's own Mauser 13.2mm anti tank gun.

The target was placed 300 meters away. Everything was clear under the light.

"Bang!" As he pulled the trigger, the body of the gun jerked backward. The cylindrical multi chamber retractor in front of the muzzle ejected gas backward and there was dust all around,

Although a rubber cushion was added behind the butt of the gun, Elia still felt a huge force hitting his shoulder. This thing can only be used by the strongest soldiers!

In many military novels, I admire the 12.7mm Barrett rifle. I think it is an omnipotent weapon and the trump card in the sniper's hand. In fact, the word cannon fodder is added in front of the sniper.

Cannon fodder sniper! No matter how well the sniper hides, as long as he shoots, he will expose his target. This is because of the muzzle brake!

In order to counteract recoil, you need to spray some gunpowder gas backward. These gases will make a lot of movement! The next moment, you will be found by the other party, and then call back the counterattack covered by artillery!

Now, this 14.5mm anti tank gun is in this state.

300 meters away, a 20mm thick armor with the 14.5mm bullet in the middle! The warhead has passed, but the body is still embedded in it!

"It seems that the Soviets didn't realize how hard our armor was." After receiving the report, goodrian was finally relieved.

This armor is placed vertically without inclination, and the other side's bullets can't penetrate completely. Therefore, on the battlefield, you don't have to worry about being observed by anti tank hands with this rifle, even at the rear!

The depth of armor that tanks can penetrate is related to the quality of armor. Now Germany doesn't have to worry about rare metals. It uses the best armor steel, which is cold-rolled, far more than the cast steel of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the 20 mm armor that the Soviet can penetrate 20 degrees will become unable to penetrate here in Germany!

Even in the late stage of World War II, Germany lacked rare metals. Relying on advanced scientific and technological strength, it adopted carburizing process, that is, surface hardening process, which is often said by later generations, and its hardness is also very good.

"Next, let's test the penetration depth of 100 meters." "Add the armor thickness to 30mm," goodrian said

Panther 2 tank is a simplified Panther tank with a weight of only 20 tons. The armor behind its gun is the weakest. The inclined armor is equivalent to a thickness of 30 mm. Now, it is necessary to test whether this tank can withstand the attack from the back of this anti tank gun!

After preparation, the second experiment began again.

Now, it's more than ten o'clock at night, and almost everyone is not sleepy. They look at their own armor steel and can withstand the latest anti tank gun attack of the Soviets at a distance of 100 meters.

In other words, even in street warfare, the other party can not pose a fatal threat to his tank. The most is to hit the track, load wheel and other positions, which may cause mechanical failure.

Panther 2 tanks can carry it, and Panther 1 tank has no problem.

This problem is not a problem. There is no need to worry.

Wash and sleep. When the northern army comes up tomorrow, your side will continue to attack!

Just as goodrian was about to leave, sherner hurried out of the warehouse: "Sir, we found these things in the warehouse!"

A wooden box has been pried open with a crowbar. Inside, there are yellow and orange bullets!

The cartridge case is made of good copper, while the warhead is not shiny and some are black.

The test shot just now is only an ordinary 14.5mm armor piercing bullet, and the one in this box is obviously a special armor piercing bullet!

"Try it!" Said goodrian anxiously.

"Bang!" With the gunshot, the armor plate of 30mm away from 100m was punctured!

"Change to 50mm thick!" Goodrian looked very ugly and continued to shout.

"Bang!" 50mm thick armor plate, also punctured!

"Tilt placement!"

Now, it's finally blocked!

Looking at all this, everyone's face was ugly.

This means that if your Panther 2 tank enters the street battle, it will be penetrated from the side by this anti tank gun! Only our own 30 ton Panther 1 tank can withstand the impact of this bullet. In other words, in future street battles, we should send Panther 1 as the main force!

"Telegraph the discovery here to general Shrek immediately!" Said goodrian.
