Chapter 1511 Infantry's Anti-Tank Weapons
Soon, the rocket warhead had an intimate contact with the front armor of the Black Panther 3 tank.
On the battlefield, there are not many times when you can hit the front armor of the vehicle body. Generally speaking, the ones hit are turret armor.
This is because in normal firefighting, both sides are almost at the same height. When shooting at the other side, considering factors such as ballistic bending caused by gravity, the chance of shells hitting the front of the turret is the highest.
Therefore, all tanks and turrets have the thickest armor on the front. The main armor thickness of Black Panther 3 here reaches 30 mm, all of which are the best nickel alloy steel. In this way, Black Panther 3 tanks can withstand the frontal attack of 85 mm tank guns.
Even if the 85mm shells were shot, I was not afraid. Now, the caliber of Bazuka is only 0mm, but the depth of the penetration cannot be calculated like this.
It uses the principle of energy-concentrating warhead, which breaks through the opponent through metal jets.
Moreover, Aiken aimed in the shell crater, almost revealing half of his body, and the rocket launcher was less than half a meter from the ground, so he almost shot upwards with his head raised. When the shell came, it happened to hit the armor of the car body, and there was an intimate contact between the radio and the driver.
The armor here is only 00 mm thick.
The moment the warhead hits the armor, the huge pressure brought by the collision immediately caused the mechanical fuse in front of the warhead to be triggered. The explosion of explosives inside the copper pharmaceutical cover formed a powerful heat, melting the front pharmaceutical cover, and then forming a hot metal heat flow with a temperature of more than a thousand degrees, rushing towards the front armor, as if a high-pressure water gun could easily blow through the mud layer. In front of it, the metal was like soft bread, which could be damaged by just a thorn with a fork.
The metal heat flow hits rapidly ahead, but in fact it is not direct. The heat flow has a deflection angle of about ten degrees, which makes its impact distance longer. During the impact process, the heat flow continues to cool down and slow down, which is somewhat similar to the head-on collision of armor-piercing bombs.
If the opponent's armor can penetrate before the energy of the metal heat flow is exhausted, then the armor will be successfully broken. If the armor still has a thickness after exhaustion, then it will not be penetrated.
This silent contest lasted for only a short moment, and the heat flow successfully penetrated the excellent nickel alloy armor of Germany, and then penetrated the back.
The temperature of the metal heat flow was five or six hundred degrees. When it penetrated, a huge flame emerged from the small hole and swept through the entire tank.
Under this heat flow, no one could live, and the few tank hands inside instantly turned into barbecue. At the same time, the flame ignited the shells inside. "Boom!"
The tank exploded for death, and the huge explosion energy of the ammunition came out from the pressure relief plate behind. Thick smoke came from the rear of the tank. Due to timely pressure relief, the tank's turret was not overturned, but it also lost its combat capability.
The power of the rocket launcher is very powerful. Take historical data. Germany's Iron Fist 30 type has a range of 30 and a armor-breaking depth of 40; Iron Fist 0 type has a range of 0 and a armor-breaking depth of 200; Iron Fist 00 type has a range of 00 and a armor-breaking depth of 220.
It can be seen that no tank can block the shooting of such individual weapons, even if it is a rat tank, the frontal artillery shield is only 80 mm.
As for Bazuka, there are two statements: one is the vertical armor-breaking thickness of 27 mm, and the other is the thickness of 7 mm when the incident occurs at a 0-degree angle. (Maybe after conversion, it is a data.) In short, the body of Bazuka's Black Panther 3 can be penetrated. Except for the frontal gun shield, no other places can withstand the attack of Bazuka!
(Of course there are many sayings, some say that this thing is useless. In history, even the main armor of the leopard style cannot be penetrated, and it cannot be beaten t-34-85. Now, according to the hero of East China, set it to the front body armor of the Black Panther 3 just broken through! Just think it is a later-improved Bazuka.)
At the beginning, Cialek had concerns about making the rocket launcher, and he considered it from this perspective. It was simple and effective. The infantry anti-tank killer was not good for Germany.
Destroy, frontal destruction, this is the first time in the entire Soviet-German battlefield. Infantry used the weapons they held to destroy the terrifying and ferocious tanks!
When I saw this scene, all the Soviet defenders on the positions behind were in full bloom.
They saw clearly that the American reinforcements and groundhogs were ambushed in front of their positions. They watched them open fire with round tube-like weapons, and hot flames emerge from their tails. Then, they saw the tanks on the opposite side were destroyed.
If they had such a weapon in hand, they would no longer have to be afraid of German tanks!
"Grevich shouted loudly: "You are simply our saviors!"
"What kind of weapon is this? It's so amazing, we need it too!"
Hayasi said in a quick tone: "Battlehot, we are all used to calling it Bazuka."
The name of Bazukka quickly spread throughout the defense line. At this time, there was no pessimism on the position. They mustered up the courage to defeat the Germans on the other side.
When they found that infantry could destroy their tanks, would they still dare to charge like this?
Of course!
At this moment, battalion commander Westhagen found the target's hiding position, only fifty meters away from his side. At this moment, he issued an order: "Fifty meters ahead of the right, firepower covers!"
A Black Panther 3 tank on his side was actually destroyed, which made the German tank soldiers present angry. No one wanted to retreat. They wanted to take revenge and they wanted to kill the enemy in front!
On the right side of the triangle queue, the remaining four Black Panther 3 tanks immediately poured over the dense rain of bullets.
They move quickly. At this distance, tank guns cannot open fire due to the limit of the dive angle, so they can only use machine guns to kill the other party!
There was almost no wasted time. Just when the flames were discovered, they turned the turret, and as their tanks were destroyed, dense bullets had already been fired.
"Shit!"
As the bullet flew away, before he could tilt his body, Aiken felt countless bullets hit his body. Under the impact of the bullet, his body fell backwards. He staggered back a few steps, and his body retreated to the back of the crater.
Blood gushed out of his body, and his life was only last few seconds left.
"Aiken!" Seeing him like this, Carl shouted loudly: "You can't die, I'll take you back and find a doctor to save you!"
"A pig head who speaks poor English." At this time, Aiken still used this familiar catchphrase: "I'm stupid enough to be at home, I'm out of help. I killed a tank and five German devils. I've made a profit. Now it's your turn. Don't embarrass you guys from Hawaii."
After saying that, Aiken's head finally tilted to the side and he stopped breathing.
Chapter completed!
