With the sound of guns, a hot flame came out of the horn mouth in the latter half, which immediately surrounded the back. This scene is definitely more spectacular than launching a rocket launcher.

These flames spread back to a distance of 50 meters, and you can feel the heat 100 meters away!

Smoke filled the air.

The operation of this kind of gun is quite dangerous, but its power is also quite against the sky!

This is a 75mm gun after all! The warhead flying at the speed of 365 meters per second flew towards the French tank that had approached a kilometer away!

At this distance, it takes about three seconds to fly.

When he found the fire opposite, Bailey shouted, "turn left at full speed!"

The other side has fired shells. No matter what shells they are, they will certainly pose a threat to their own side. How to deal with this threat?

You can brake hard or turn right away, depending on where the threat comes from. If it's side, braking is the best way, but now it's almost front and direct, the braking doesn't work.

Can only turn!

But Bailey made a mistake.

If the speed is fast enough, he can avoid turning, but now, even the S-35 tank, the speed is too low!

Hearing his command, the tank driver pulled the brake on one side, the track on the left was locked, and the track on the right was still rotating. In this way, the tank brushed the ground and turned to the left.

If he was given another two seconds, he would be out of danger, but now, after only completing the steering, the car body was still in the outline of the just projected projection, and the shell flew over!

If the initial velocity of the shell is high enough, such as more than 700 meters per second, then it can kill the other party directly with kinetic energy. This is the principle of armor piercing projectile.

But now, recoilless guns belong to low-pressure guns. The muzzle velocity is too small. Direct impact is not enough. Therefore, this flying shell is not armor piercing shells or howitzers, but armor breaking shells!

In this era, the main force of anti armor is still ordinary armor piercing ammunition. However, all kinds of new anti armor ammunition are being developed rapidly.

Among them, the principle of armor piercing projectile can be traced back to 1888, when the energy accumulation effect of explosive column with recess was found.

However, there was no effective use at that time. Until before World War II, during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, the German intervention army first used armor breaking bombs.

However, it was still not popularized until the early stage of World War II. It was found that when a thin metal cover was lined on the explosive charge recess, the armor breaking power produced by the charge was greatly enhanced, which led to the wide application of the energy accumulation effect, which was brilliant from then on.

A conical metal liner plays the role of gathering the metal jet. It can be said that an idea changes the world.

Of course, the advantages of being a penetrator should be reflected. Therefore, the further application of energy accumulation effect has long been conquered by German military experts.

It's like a reflector gathering light. Use a copper conical medicine cover to gather the metal jet!

At this time, the 75mm armor piercing bullet accurately hit the middle of the S-35.

After the impact, it was as if a piece of surface had been flattened, and the front end was subjected to huge pressure. This pressure triggered the mechanical fuse, and the explosives in the warhead exploded violently.

Behind the copper cone, the shock wave generated by the explosion strikes the metal lining at the speed of 8000 meters per second and concentrates on the top of the cone.

Under this pressure, the whole metal lining is compressed towards the bottom of the cone, and the pressure is concentrated on the center line of the cone. The compressed metal liners are stacked together and then pushed outward from the center of the bottom of the cone.

Under great pressure, these metals eject outward along a straight line at a strong speed of 8000 meters per second. This is the armor breaking principle of armor breaking projectile, using metal jet!

This powerful metal jet hit the armor of the S-35. Its powerful kinetic energy forced the steel structure of the steel armor to flow around and give way to a tunnel.

If you can cut a side, you can see the hegemony of this metal jet at this time.

At the same time, the head of the jet continues to spread around, and the jet continues to be consumed. Moreover, the follow-up metal jet lacks energy. After all, the explosion is only a moment.

Now, entering the final stage, there are only two results. If the jet cannot penetrate the armor when it is completely consumed, it cannot penetrate the other party. Instead, the armor is destroyed.

What is the result now? Of course the tank was destroyed!

According to later theories, the penetration data of armor piercing projectiles are at least five times the diameter, that is, 75 mm shells can penetrate more than 300 mm armor!

Of course, in fact, it is definitely not so high. However, it is still effortless to break down the S-35.

The S-35 is a 20 ton tank. Its armor protection is not weak. The armor thickness of the front of the turret is 55 mm, the armor thickness of the body is 40 mm, and the weakest rear is 20 mm.

According to historical data, the tank gun at this time is about 37mm to 50mm, which can withstand.

However, in front of the lg40 recoilless gun, it is a piece of paper!

The metal jet, with little obstruction, easily penetrated the 40mm armor. When the first heat flow entered the interior of the car body, a fire burned inside the whole car body!

At this time, the temperature of the metal jet is still as high as hundreds of degrees, and the speed is thousands of meters per second. Everywhere it goes, it is a fire.

A pinch of trickle splashed on 75mm ammunition. In an instant, a violent explosion was produced.

"Boom!" In the loud noise, the ammunition exploded.

At this time, the small turret was directly lifted off by this huge air flow. Of course, the people inside could not live. This is the fate of the tank soldiers.

When tanks are hit, they are their metal graves.

The explosion of this tank stunned the other tankers in an instant.

What's going on?

If the other party is a tank, it's OK. They can accept it, but now, what does the other party have? Only a few broken motorcycles destroyed their tanks?

This is terrible! In particular, another tank close to this tank was frightened after witnessing the martyrdom explosion inside.

"Come on, shift into reverse and retreat!" Shouted the conductor.

If they continue to charge firmly and boldly at this time, they should be able to push forward. After all, the other party has only one motorcycle with such a big killer, and the other motorcycles are machine guns.

But they were scared.

When the whole country was shouting for peace, the soldiers lost their blood. Almost all of them had not gone through the cruel war, and they had no courage to fight to the death.
