The German turret did not turn fast.
One theory is that if the rotation is fast, it is not easy to improve the accuracy, depending on the gear density of the seat ring. At the same time, the biggest reason is the weight of the turret.
The turret is definitely not rotated manually. The use of hydraulic or electric power to drive the turret has a driving limit problem. When this auxiliary power is not enough, the turret cannot be turned fast.
For the German car group, this problem is not a problem. Although they cannot turn the turret quickly, they have another unique skill.
Turn in place.
At this time, the ground is already full of mud, and the crawler, more than one meter wide, began to rotate.
The forward on the right side and the backward on the left side. When Schmidt killed the steering wheel in front, the chassis of the tank received the order to turn in place, and the entire tank started to turn in place with the center as the axis.
If it is on a hard ground, this kind of brutal operation may cause some terrible consequences. For example, the crawler will fall off during rotation, which will be a big trouble. But now, the ground is extremely slippery. When the crawler is rotating, it will force the side. Roll out mud more than half a meter high.
The car body is rotating, and the turret is also rotating. While they are rotating together, the muzzle is rotating rapidly.
In the turret basket, the gunner's Sergeant Karpanet's field of vision changed rapidly.
The Soviets also moved quickly.
"Boom!" A flame came out of Yakov's muzzle. A 152mm armor-piercing projectile flew towards the opposite side. At this time, the German tanks were turning, and their speed was very fast, but they only finished. It was only half of the turn, just turning the widest turret side towards him.
The huge shell flew towards the turret of the mouse tank, and then it made close contact with the armor on the side of the turret.
It severely smashed the outer armor of the turret and began to drill in. At the same time, its speed dropped rapidly, and soon it stopped.
No penetration.
For an ordinary tank, the front is the thickest, the side is the second, and the back is the smallest. This is true, but for the mouse tank, it is not necessarily the case. Its front is 240 mm thick, while the sides and back are indeed thinner. Some are only 220 mm.
This difference is nothing at all. The 152mm armor-piercing projectile cannot penetrate the front, nor can it penetrate the side and back!
If the opponent really wants to achieve results, attacking the walking mechanism below is the right way, provided that the depression angle is sufficient.
The mouse tank is absolutely safe. There is no need to worry about any risk of being penetrated. Now, listening to the sound of being hit again outside, the people inside the turret don’t care at all. Sergeant Karpanett’s eyes finally The goal appeared.
Fire one by one.
"boom!"
"boom!"
One by one SU-152 was called.
When the third vehicle was shot, the engine at the rear of the opponent suddenly started to retreat with black smoke!
The Soviets also know to be afraid? Where did the rush of energy just go?
Yakov is not afraid.
The Soviets now have very few armored forces, and the shortage of fuel makes them even more difficult. At this time, the service of the SU-152 is of great significance. They can directly destroy the German Tiger tank.
They are the most needed on the front lines.
As a result, in this light rain, a new German tank was accidentally discovered. Originally, Yakov planned to kill this tank to increase his confidence.
As a result, more than a dozen of his own tanks were destroyed, and the opponent's terrible firepower, terrible rate of fire, and terrible maneuverability all left a deep impression on him.
At the same time, his final efforts also failed.
He originally intended to go around and destroy it, but when he found that he couldn't destroy it, his continued fighting became meaningless.
It is his mission to keep the last two Su-152s and go to the front to deal with more Tiger and Panther tanks, not to continue to consume them here.
So Yakov ordered a retreat.
In the drizzle, they could easily get into the rain and leave. It was easy to leave the battlefield.
At the same time, their two chariots separated from two directions, making it easier to escape.
They can't move forward, that will give each other a chance, they can only go backwards.
If it is a tank with a later advanced hydraulic transmission system that reverses as fast as forward, it can still escape, but the Soviet tank does not have this function.
Its reversing is quite slow, because it has the first opportunity, it really retreats into the rain. According to Yakov’s plan, after retreating for a certain distance and completely safe, it can continue to move forward. , This can just bypass the opponent and retreat quickly.
However, his ideas are naive.
When he found that two tanks had retreated, Hans knew Today, he wanted to wipe out each other, it was impossible. So far, he has killed more than a dozen tanks. One battle, the record will make many tank commanders envy.
Now, he can only kill one more, no more.
Which side are you chasing?
Hans had no other way of judging, he just chose the one on the left based on his instinct.
For tanks in this era, the driver is still on the left, so when chasing the tank on the left, the driver can find the target earlier.
"Chasing the enemy on the left, don't let it run away!"
Following Hans's order, Schmidt stepped on the accelerator fiercely again, the mouse tank swayed over a hundred tons and began to accelerate, and a black smoke came out from the tail.
The gasoline engine was rumbling, and the current entered the motor, which was converted into power, and the tank began to roar and rush forward.
Under the rain curtain, everything seems to be hidden. Where is the enemy?
Schmidt's gaze turned to the front, but he couldn't see anything.
"Turn on the night vision." At this moment, Hans gave the order again.
Active infrared night vision devices are now standard equipment for almost all armored soldiers. Some infantrymen are also equipped with individual night vision devices. This equipment that relies on infrared headlights to find targets is mainly used at night.
But now, Hans had a whim, in addition to night, there are certain advantages to use now.
As soon as the infrared headlights were on, a columnar white mist appeared in front of them. This is the release of infrared rays, which immediately evaporates the surrounding water vapor. In an instant, the distance they can see has more than doubled. .
Originally, he could only see 30 meters away, but now he can see at least 60 meters away. Then, Schmidt was overjoyed. The running chariot appeared in his field of vision.
Catch up!
