As an old country, the British army has a very deep foundation.
When the German tank threat came, they entered a stage of rapid development. The first thing they developed was the 2-pound gun. This 40mm anti tank gun has been heavily equipped with British troops.
Of course, the actual combat has also shown that this anti tank gun has zero power over the new German tanks!
Then, they made persistent efforts and developed a 6-pound anti tank gun, which has been equipped in some troops. However, this 57 mm tank gun shows that it still can't break through the main armor of German tanks in the battlefield of North Africa!
How thick is the German tank armor? This is everyone's question. The specific data have always been confidential. On the battlefield, German tanks have not been lost.
Therefore, it has always been a mystery how thick the armor of German tanks is, and Britain has not stopped developing new anti tank weapons.
In this era, the best way to improve the power of tank guns is, of course, to increase the caliber. Almost all countries do so.
German tanks are no exception. They have 75mm and 88mm tank guns, while Soviet tanks also carry 76mm gun barrels. Therefore, Britain has vigorously developed a new 17 pound gun.
These are for shells. When converted to the barrel, it is 76.2mm, which is definitely not small. The British anti tank gun has developed rapidly almost recently.
When the supporting mk3t armor piercing projectile is used, it can penetrate 110 mm thick average armor at close range. Can the thickness of German tanks exceed 100 mm?
Moreover, the updated armor piercing projectile is still under development and can have greater penetration depth.
This kind of anti tank gun was only recently developed. After that, all the produced, that is, the first 100, were pushed to the London defense line, hoping to delay the attack of German tanks.
Of course, it can only be hysteresis.
What if this anti tank gun can penetrate German tanks? Too few! When a hundred guns are scattered over the defense line of more than ten kilometers, they are sparse.
For example, here, only two 17 pound guns can reach, and now, what they have to face is not an opponent like Panther 3 tank, but a more terrible big guy!
How thick is the opponent's armor? No one knows. What they know is that generally speaking, the bottom of the tank is the weakest place.
Now, the other party is climbing the earth slope, and the front end of the car body is raised. From your own side, you can just see the bottom of the other party's car body, so hit that place!
"Fire!"
When the behemoth on the opposite side was found, the side was shocked and ready to start. Especially next to the 17 pound gun, the gunner nervously stuffed the shell in, quickly shook the high and low aircraft and aimed!
They aimed at the top of the slope. Now, when the other party's tank appeared, the gunner pulled the gun rope violently.
"Boom!" At the muzzle, the firelight gathered, and the 7.69 kg warhead flew across with everyone's expectations at the initial speed of 884 meters per second!
The victory or defeat is in one fell swoop!
If the tone is fixed and the other party explodes, the other party's plot will go bankrupt. The other party will certainly stop for a few days. When the backup comes, his own side will have more confidence.
If you can't get through
If not, when I think of here, the shell has flown to the bottom of the other party's body with a roar!
In everyone's attention, the shell rubbed the other party's bottom armor, turned in a direction, a fierce son, and plunged into the soil below!
Bounce!
Just when the other party raised it, the angle was just right, so that the flying shell produced a bouncing bullet and plunged to one side!
The last chance for the British disappeared.
They guessed well that the bottom of the rat tank has the weakest protection, only 60mm thick armor, although this armor is thicker than the main armor of many tanks.
After all, there is no need to worry about armor piercing bullets at the bottom, as long as it can prevent mines.
But now? The British fired shells at the bottom of the other side from a tricky angle, but it was a pity that the shells were bounced away.
At this time, the tail is emitting the black smoke of the huge engine. The rat tank has come down from the earth slope! Its gun barrel slowly rises.
"Target, straight ahead, anti tank gun, main gun, howitzer, fire!" Sergeant rip, the captain, shouted calmly.
"I see!" Shouted the two loaders.
The turret of the rat tank was quite large and there was enough space inside, so two loaders were arranged.
One loader picked up the grenade warhead and stuffed it into the gun chamber. The other picked up the firing cartridge and stuffed it in the same way. Then he closed the gun door and shouted, "loading is over!"
Once fired, it needs to be loaded twice. Yes, this kind of shell is sub loaded ammunition.
With the increase of artillery caliber, the shells will become heavier and heavier. In this way, the overall shells will cause difficulties in handling. Therefore, sub loaded shells appear in this way.
This is not a problem, because this 128 mm cannon was originally used as an anti-aircraft gun, and was first used on German warships. The automatic device can handle everything.
Germany has a tradition of changing anti-aircraft guns into tank guns. The 88mm gun is the most famous one. Now the mouse tank is so huge that of course we can't just take the 88mm gun, and we don't have time to develop artillery for it, and we don't have that energy, so we almost copy the structure of the 128mm anti-aircraft gun.
However, the automatic loading mechanism is not added. It uses manual loading. On the tank, the weight factor should be considered.
The gunner stepped on the button and the turret turned rapidly under hydraulic drive. Then he shouted, "aim over, fire!"
FireStarter!
"Boom!" In the huge gunfire, smoke filled the whole turret.
When the anti-aircraft gun is changed to the tank gun, there should be a lot of improvements. After all, the internal space of the turret is narrow. Only the waste gas of the shell is enough to give a headache to the designer. A special smoking device is needed.
However, this mouse tank has no energy to do this. It mainly tests the chassis.
While coughing, the conductor wiped the lens of the sight in front of him and looked ahead.
At the muzzle, a huge fireball came out and a 128 mm high explosive grenade flew forward!
"Boom!" On the position of the 17 pound gun 900 meters away, the heavy anti tank gun was blown up in an instant! The gun barrel was crooked, and the wheels on the gun rack flew to one side. Several Gunners became broken meat at this moment.
128 mm high explosive grenade is so cruel!
