Chapter 1377

The opponent is really cunning!

When the 66th armored battalion arrived, the battalion commander Carl Maus looked at the tank in the mud in the distance and admired his opponent.

The height is too low.

It is impossible for your tank guns to have such a depression angle. That is to say, if your side rashly launches an attack now, almost all your shells fly over the other party's turret and can't hit the other party's tank at all.

The other side is easy to project their shells onto their own tanks. Although they have additional armor, the protective performance of Tiger tanks has been greatly improved. They can carry them hard, but they will also cause armor damage after all.

If the angle is not right, it may be broken down by the other party.

Now, a thousand meters away, Carl Maus ordered his tank to stop. He looked at the tank with the its turret exposed and was almost admiring each other.

The other side's position is also very clever. It's on the side of the road. That is to say, if your tank forces want to move forward, they must pass from its side. Even if a Tiger tank is hit by a 122 mm tank gun on the side, the outcome is quite terrible.

A tank trapped in a mud pit actually blocked the way of its own armored division. I really don't know what to say.

"Our best way is to call air support." On his side, the gunner also said, "we can't hit it, but our hs-129 attack aircraft can easily destroy it."

"Yes, the best way is to call our attacker, but our time is precious!"

Yes, time is precious.

The attack aircraft cannot be in the sky at any time. It will take at least 20 minutes to call hs-129. They will lose their precious time!

What's Carl moss worried about? Of course, I'm worried that the enemy will run away!

There is no doubt that these tanks will not appear here for no reason. It must be that the enemy accidentally fell here when retreating, which means that their large forces are nearby. For tank hands, fighting with the enemy's tanks is the most exciting. Kar Maus can't help but want to catch up.

Twenty minutes is enough for the other party to run away. He doesn't have much time.

"But we don't have enough depression angle." Said the gunner.

"The depression angle is not enough, and the skids come together!" Carl Maus said, "remove our skids, put them behind the tank, support the tank and increase our depression angle!"

Because it was driving in the swamp, the tank troops had long been ready. Behind each tank, there was a thick log. Anyway, the Soviet Union was not short of anything else, at least this wood.

This piece of wood was intended to be used when the car got stuck. Now it can be taken out in advance!

"We must aim at it, or it will overturn easily," said the gunner

"I see." The driver in front gently pulled his steering wheel, and the hydraulic transmission of the Tiger Tank understood the intention. The track on the left turned forward and the track on the right turned backward, making the tank turn in place naturally.

The car body was facing the Stalin tank. The loader got out of the turret, climbed behind the tank, pulled the steel cable, loosened the log carried behind the car body, and it rolled down.

"Back up!" The loader stood behind the tank and shouted.

The tracks on both sides were shaking, slowly retreating, and gradually retreating to the log. When the track contacted the log, the log turned, and the bark outside was gnawed down by the track. Fortunately, I ate hard and went up smoothly!

When both tracks went up, the body of the tank suddenly leaned forward. The gunner looked at his vision and shouted down, and immediately shouted, "OK!"

Although the rear of the car body is only raised by about 10 degrees, it is enough to support the aiming of the tank gun. The gunner is slowly turning his steering wheel. He must aim!

German tank guns and sight are very precise, which can enable them to fire at a long distance, but not the Soviet Union. If they exceed 500 meters, the hit rate is much lower. When they are more than one kilometer away, the hit rate is even less than 10%.

Now, Stalin's tank only left a turtle shell on the horizon. Originally, it was intended to kill several more German tanks, but now, the German tank stopped one kilometer away. The gunner looked at the other party in the sight and wanted to tilt up the tank, which immediately sank his heart.

"German tanks actually increased the depression angle by tilting the body. We don't have time. Let's fight." The gunner said to the commander.

Yuri, the commander of the vehicle, was also deeply worried. It seems that the tactics they formulated are useless. He also plans to kill more vehicles when the other party gets close. Now it seems that the other party doesn't intend to get close at all and wants to fire at his own side from a long distance.

Because the loading speed of Stalin's tanks was too slow, they did not fire immediately. By now, Yuri knew that it was no longer necessary to wait.

"Aim for me." Yuri said, "their bodies are cocked up. We can hit the top of their turret. We must break through their tanks!"

The protective power of any tank cannot be the same everywhere. The top is definitely the weakest. For example, the front protective power of Stalin tank exceeds 100mm, but the top is less than 50mm, so hs129 in the air can easily break through it with 40mm machine guns.

German, certainly the same.

"I see." The gunner carefully adjusted his tank gun. When he stepped on the launcher, he saw a flash of fire from the target tank.

"Boom!" Almost at the same time, the 88mm tank gun and the 122mm tank gun fired!

If it is larger than the caliber, of course, the 122 mm is more dominant. However, Germany's technology is more advanced. When the shell flies out of the barrel, the rear sabot is thrown away, the tail wing is open, and the slender core flies opposite.

At the same time, Carl Maus shouted, "drive!"

Of course, he also saw the fire from the opposite side. Although the distance is one kilometer, he can't take it lightly. Compared with the opposite side, his advantage is that he can move. He can stand up and shoot. After shooting, of course, he has to avoid it.

A black smoke came out of the tail of the Tiger tank, the diesel engine clattered, and the caterpillar gnawed at the bark and crashed down from the log behind.

Then, the 122 mm shell flew over the top of its turret, interrupting the radio antenna behind it. The shell flew over with a terrible roar, causing pain to everyone's eardrums inside the turret.
