Chapter 1286 Punching the Observation Hole (Plus 1)
The observation hole is relatively small, so it needs to be close to it.
Now, Schmidt's eyes are firmly attached to the observation hole, looking ahead through this slit.
Although his tank is in the back, the triangular array, the three tanks, all have their own field of vision. From here, Schmidt can see the rear of the rat tank in front of him, and also has a half-circle field of vision to the right. .
Schmidt didn't know that the small observation holes in front of him were all concerned.
Distance, 1,500 meters, Crosswind 3, Liudmila is calculating quickly and carefully, in addition to these data, there is the opponent's forward speed, in this case, you should estimate the advance.
Lyudmila held the rifle in her hand and tilted it down very calmly, and then she pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" Flames emerged from the muzzle, and with the flames, a 7.62mm bullet flew out of the barrel and spun toward the front.
In less than two seconds, it was in close contact with the huge tank, and, just right, the bullet burrowed into the slit!
At this moment, it encountered something hard and was blocked abruptly.
"Wow!" Schmidt only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and then the glass cracked with fine lines, and there seemed to be something embedded in the glass.
Schmidt immediately exclaimed: "There is a sniper on the opposite side and hit my observation hole, I can't see anything clearly!"
Schmidt was quite unfortunate and quite lucky.
If it's a Soviet tank, it's a slit, a viewing hole, and nothing on it, but a German tank has a thick layer of bulletproof glass.
The Soviet Union's industry is not as developed as Germany's. The glass of the cockpit of the Soviet Union's fighter jets often has scratches, which makes the pilots unable to see the outside, let alone the tanks. Everything is about simplifying the production process and expanding the output. Therefore, the Soviet Union's tanks It's just a slit and nothing. If bullets do fly through the slit, it can only be said that the tanker's luck is too bad.
But Germany is different.
Historically, since the No. 3 tank, the observation holes of German tanks have glass, and now, the German Panther tank has glass from the original model.
There are many advantages to having glass, preventing the sand blowing over, small flying insects, etc. from fascinating the eyes of the tanker, and it is beneficial to the sealing of the tank when crossing the river, and in the same way, it can also block bullets!
For example, now, without this piece of glass, Schmidt would have been shot through his head by the bullet and died in his driver's seat, but now, it's just the glass, and he can't see anything clearly.
"Keep going at the current speed!" Commander Kurt yelled, "Kill their snipers!"
When needed, the driver can operate blindly. For example, in the past, tanks could only rely on infrared headlights in the dark, but only the commander had an infrared receiver, so the driver listened to the commander, the commander said. Open it how you want.
Although it is now unclear, Schmidt is still steadily moving the tank, and at the same time, Hans is ready.
The turret of the Rat tank is quite heavy. Although the power of the hydraulic drive motor has been increased, the rotation of the turret is similar to that of the Tiger, and it is very slow. Fortunately, it is almost directly in front.
Just when Schmidt was shot, on the opposite position, the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle was just rising, and Hans took aim at once.
That is to say, in less than five seconds after the opponent shot, Hans's foot stepped on the trigger.
"boom!"
The 128mm tank gun made a huge roar.
The entire rat tank was vibrating, and black smoke came out of the muzzle several meters high, covering the entire tank. In the black smoke, a 128 mm high-explosive grenade flew out.
Originally, tanks could not be loaded directly. They were loaded before shooting. This was because of the problem of the type of ammunition. Only when the target was encountered, the commander ordered the loading.
However, the 128mm chariot gun of the Rat tank was stuffed with grenades when it started.
They are going to attack the enemy's position. In this case, the grenade is the most suitable type of artillery shell. At the same time, even if there is an enemy tank, the 128mm grenade is powerful enough.
At the same time, the greater benefit of using grenades is that you don't have to worry about accuracy.
If it is an armor-piercing projectile, it must be accurately aimed before it can hit the target, while for a grenade, the target is within its own killing radius.
Therefore, in the process of shelling, the rat tank did not stop, and it was completely fired during the march.
With the whistling of the god of death, the 128mm shells splashed about ten meters from the location where Lyudmila had just shot.
"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, and a large crater was blasted on the ground in an instant, countless shrapnel flew horizontally, and the dust rose more than 20 meters.
With the explosion as the center, within a radius of 20 meters, it is impossible for anyone to survive, and within 50 meters, if there is no protection, they may be scratched by shrapnel.
The violent explosion sounded on the ground, shaking everyone's eardrums. When the smoke from the shells dissipated, the first thing they thought of was the safety of Lyudmila.
What about Lyudmila? Did it just get bombed?
"Cough, cough." Lyudmila coughed twice, her body was covered in dust, and her face turned pale.
Sure enough, being a sniper is the most terrifying, because they are facing enemy artillery!
Just after firing a shot, Lyudmila immediately ran to the next position. Her caution saved her life. Even so, she was still affected by the afterglow of the explosion.
The corners of her mouth coughed up blood.
"Comrade Lyudmila, are you injured?" the company commander said with concern: "Now you immediately withdraw from the battle."
Lyudmila was not injured by the shrapnel, but she fell on the ground at a nearby shooting position. As a result, when the 128mm grenade exploded on the ground, the vibrations came from the ground, and it was hard. Injured her internal organs.
Lyudmila's eyes were looking at the tanks in the distance. Those tanks with black cross marks were rumbling over!
"No, I won't withdraw!" Lyudmila said, spitting out blood mixed with saliva: "I want to live and die with the position!"
"Christoph, take Comrade Lyudmila out immediately!" shouted the company commander.
At this moment, there was a rumbling voice behind him, and the company commander turned his head and saw that his own reinforcements had arrived!
