Chapter 503： Test firing range (1/2)

In the Cambrai area, a battle between armored forces began.

It can be said that the two sides met on a narrow road.

The British army's offensive is very fast, and their tactics are still very backward. In the front of the advance, they did not know to deploy scouts and carry out reconnaissance in advance. This is simply a reckless march.

On the German side, it was because they were not offensive at all. Their tank company was only accepting reluctant **** missions. In this way, they did not send scouts.

When they found each other, they had no choice but to collide in this way.

From a quantitative point of view, a German tank company against an opponent's tank brigade, in any case, is not like a close battle. However, in combat, you cannot simply compare the quantity, but also compare the quality. Row!

The diesel engine rumbling in the back, Meyer looked at the sight with hope in his Panther 3 tank. Now, the biggest problem is the inability to accurately measure the distance.

How to measure the distance is one of the most common technical problems for German tankers. They can make the conversion according to the magnification and the length and width of the target in the sight.

But now, they don’t know the model of the other’s tank or how wide the other’s tank is. So now, Meyer can only calculate by guessing, turning the steering wheel on the sight to estimate the width of the opponent, first according to 2.4 Come on.

In this case, the distance should be one kilometer, it's time to shoot, try.

”Attention, prepare for a test shot,” Meyer shouted.

Hearing his words, the driver in front immediately stepped on the brakes, and the huge Panther tank suddenly stopped, followed by the 88 mm tank gun with a loud noise.

”Boom!” The smoke extractor in the turret was humming, and there was still a smell of gun smoke flying through the turret. Meyer didn't care to choke and stared at the opponent's tank closely.

No hit, before the impact point, this shows that the distance estimated by yourself is wrong.

How wide is the other party?

Well, try following 2.6 meters.

Meyer gritted his teeth and continued to give instructions to his gunner. At this distance, there is no need to worry about the opponent's counterattack. After all, looking at the small tank gun carried on the opponent's turret, you know that it is definitely not an order of magnitude. Yes, the opponent will not tear his own armor.

”Boom!” The second cannon rang again, and Meyer gritted his teeth and looked at his cannonball. It flew again, not right!

Continue to expand, according to the estimate of 2.8 meters!

At this time, the other party is still moving forward. If estimated at 2.8 meters, the current distance is only one kilometer.

”Attention, a distance of one thousand meters, deviate from a secret position to the left, fire!” Meyer shouted loudly.

”German tank soldiers are all bluffs, don't be afraid!” Sitting on his turret, George still exposed half of his body even though he was about to fight.

He looked at the opponent’s armored soldiers, and fired at a distance of 1,300, 400 meters. After firing two shots, he failed to hit his own side, especially the first shell that was far away from his side. The queue is hundreds of meters long!

I was frightened by the Germans. It is pure nonsense to say that Germans can shoot accurately at a distance of one kilometer away.
