As an old country, the British Army has a very profound foundation.

When the German tank threat came, they entered a rapid development stage. The first thing they developed was the 2-pound gun, which was a 40mm caliber anti-tank gun, which had been widely equipped to British troops.

Of course, the actual combat performance has also emerged. This anti-tank gun has zero power on the new German tanks!

Then, they continued to work hard and developed a 6-pound anti-tank gun, which had been equipped in some troops. However, this 57mm-caliber tank gun was still not good on the battlefield in North Africa and could not penetrate the main armor of the German tanks!

How thick are the German tanks and armor? This is everyone’s question. The specific data has always been kept confidential. On the battlefield, the German tanks were not left behind.

Therefore, how thick the armor of German tanks is, it has always been a mystery, and Britain has not stopped developing new anti-tank weapons.

In this era, the best way to increase the power of tank guns is of course to increase the caliber. Almost all countries do this.

The German tanks were no exception. They had 75mm and 88mm tank guns, while the Soviet tanks also carried 76mm gun barrels. Therefore, the British side was working hard to develop a new 17-pound gun.

These are all for shells. When converted to the barrel, it is 76.2 mm, which is definitely not small. British anti-tank guns have developed rapidly recently.

When using the matching mk3t armor-piercing bomb, it can penetrate 110 mm thick average armor at close range. Can the German tanks still exceed 100 mm in thickness?

Moreover, the updated armor-piercing bomb is still under development and can have a greater penetration depth.

This kind of anti-tank gun was only recently developed. After that, all the ones produced, that is, the first batch of 100, were pushed to the London defense line, hoping to delay the attack of German tanks.

Of course, it can only be hysteresis.

Even if this kind of anti-tank gun can penetrate the German tanks? The number is too small! One hundred guns, scattered across more than ten kilometers of defense, are sparse.

For example, here, only two 17-pound cannons can be reached, and now, what they have to face is no longer an opponent like the Black Panther 3 Tank, but a more terrifying 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 dirt slope, and the front end of the car body is raised. From here, you can just see the bottom of the car body, just hit that place!

"Open fire!"

When he discovered the giant on the opposite side, he was shocked and ready to start, especially next to the 17-pound cannon, the gunner nervously stuffed the shell in, quickly shaking the high and low aircraft, aiming!

What they aimed at was the upper part of the earth slope. Now, when the opponent's tank appeared, the gunner suddenly pulled the cannon rope.

"Boom!" At the muzzle, a fire was scattered, and the 7.69 kilogram warhead flew towards the opposite side with everyone's expectations at an initial speed of 884 meters per second!

The victory or defeat is here!

If the opponent is determined and the opponent is blown up, the opponent's conspiracy will go bankrupt and the opponent will definitely calm down for a few days. When the support arrives, the opponent will be more confident.

If you can't penetrate...

There was no if. When I thought of this, the shells had already flew to the bottom of the other party's car body with a whistling!

In everyone's attention, the shell rubbed against the opponent's bottom armor, turned around and stabbed into the soil below!

Jumped!

When the other party raised it, the angle was just right, and the flying shell made a jump and pierced to the side!

The last chance of the British disappeared like this.

They guessed it well. The bottom of the mouse 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 bombs at the bottom, as long as they can be protected from mines.

But what about now? The British fired shells at the bottom of the other party from a clever angle, but unfortunately the shells were bounced off.

At this time, the huge black smoke from the engine emanated from the tail, and the mouse tank had already come down from the earth slope! Its gun barrel slowly rose.

"The target, right in front of the front, anti-tank guns, main guns, grenades, fire!" The commander Sergeant Ripp shouted calmly.

"I understand!" the two loaders shouted loudly.

The turret of the mouse tank is quite huge and there is plenty of space inside, so two loaders were arranged.

One loader carried the grenade warhead and stuffed it into the barrel, while the other one carried the launching medicine bag, stuffed it in, then closed the gun door and shouted loudly: "Reloading is complete!"

When firing once, it needs to be loaded in two times. Yes, this kind of shell is loaded with ammunition.

As the caliber of the gun increases, the shells will become heavier and heavier. In this way, the overall shells will cause difficulties in handling, so the packaged shells appear.

This was not a problem, because this 128mm cannon was originally used as an anti-aircraft gun, and was first used on German warships, and the automatic device could handle everything.

Germany had a tradition of changing anti-aircraft guns into tank guns. The 88mm gun is the most famous one. The rat tanks are so huge now that of course they cannot only use 88mm guns. They don’t have time to develop cannons specifically for it, nor do they have the energy, so they almost copied the 128mm anti-aircraft gun structure.

However, the automatic loading mechanism was not added, and it was loading by manpower. On the tank, weight factor must be taken into account.

The gunman stepped on the button, and the turret quickly turned under hydraulic power. Then, he shouted loudly: "Aim and fire!"

Open fire!

"Boom!" With the huge sound of cannons, smoke filled the entire turret.

When changing anti-aircraft guns to tank guns, there are many improvements. After all, the internal space of the turret is small, and the exhaust gas of the shells is enough to give designers a headache, and a special smoking device is required.

However, this mouse tank has no energy to do these things yet, and it mainly tests the chassis.

The captain coughed while wiping the lens of the scope in front of him and looking forward.

At the muzzle, a huge fireball spewed out, and a 128mm high-explosive grenade flew forward!

"Boom!" On the 17-pound gun's gun position 900 meters away, the heavy anti-tank gun was instantly blown up! The barrel of the gun was crooked, and the wheels on the gun mount flew to the side. Several gunners turned into minced meat at this moment.
