Chapter 334 (1/2)
”Fire!” Looking at the German tanks, they accurately entered their own vision, and only 200 meters away. Now, Polish tanks finally have a chance to kill the Germans!
The battalion commander, major Stanislaw greensky, shouted, and then he stepped on the launcher with his foot.
”Boom!” 37mm tank gun, a fire came out of the muzzle, and the firewood stacks piled around were blown away at once. At the same time, in the black smoke of the muzzle, 37mm anti tank gun shells flew out!
Although the caliber is small, this is a tungsten core armor piercing bullet!
Moreover, the penetration depth of armor piercing projectile is related to the distance. The closer the range is, the greater the penetration depth. Now, it is only 200 meters away from the other party. There is no need to worry about accuracy and there is no problem with penetration!
In fact, there was no radio station in their tanks. Major Stanislaw's cry was not heard by more people, but the sound of his gun came out in an instant.
When the gun rang, it was a signal, and other tanks immediately fired!
FireStarter!
This is really tricky enough, right on the side of the Panther tank!
The 37 mm tungsten core armor piercing bullet flew to the side of the Panther tank almost in an instant. This is the second time that Wittman's tank has been shot in a few hours since the war!
In the violent impact sound, the tungsten alloy armor piercing bullet quickly drilled in on the side of the Panther tank. Its hardness is higher than that of the steel core armor piercing bullet, which means its breakdown ability is better!
The sharp head tried to drill in. At the same time, it began to be more and more blunt and slower.
Why are depleted uranium warheads so popular in later generations? Because of the self sharpening effect of depleted uranium alloy, the more drilling, the more grinding and the sharper! Tungsten alloys, however, are definitely more blunt.
In this way, the tungsten alloy armor piercing projectile continues to drill into the armor, which is a hard fight!
At the same time, the armor of nickel alloy steel is also trying to resist, resist! Never let the other party in!
The temperature at the impact site is rising sharply, and the armor piercing projectile is still drilling into the side armor of the tank.
How deep is it ahead? Armor piercing bullet doesn't know. It only knows that as it keeps drilling inside, its head becomes more and more blunt and its speed becomes slower and slower. However, it is still steel in front!
It was looking forward to a sudden release in front of itself, then calmly drilled in and stirred up an earth shaking explosion inside, but now it had no strength.
I can't drill. The speed is zero! It stopped there. At this time, it didn't know that it was only a few millimeters away from drilling through!
The side armor of panther 3 tank is 45mm thick. It is the same as in history. Due to the large inclination angle, it actually has more protection ability. This thickness is almost as thick as the front armor of some light tanks.
However, this is still unable to resist the advanced anti tank guns. It is impossible to make a tank reach the same thickness in all directions. In the design, the Panther tank is required to block the 85mm gun on the front and only the 50mm anti tank gun on the side.
Now, the opponent is a 37mm anti tank gun, but he was equipped with a big killer such as tungsten alloy armor piercing projectile. As a result, he almost broke through!
