Chapter 1141 PTRR-39 anti-tank gun
The German wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were harvesting the lives of Soviet soldiers. At this time, the Soviet soldiers fell down like sheep under the strait of the German machine guns.
The scene was very cruel and bloody.
A machine gunner crawled in the grass, trying to use his machine gun to greet the Germans, but just as his machine gun was about to open fire, the 40mm tank gun on the opposite side opened fire at him, and several shells exploded beside him, blowing him up to pieces.
Not all people fought bravely. When the most stubborn people were killed, the rest began to flee backwards involuntarily.
There are fewer and fewer people resisting, but this does not mean that there is no one.
Ostrov is one of them.
He was walking behind the team. After the German tank appeared in front of him, he knew that the situation was not good. If he turned around and ran away at this time, it would be possible that he would run away.
But he didn't, he still remembered his mission.
He put down his long rifle from his back, opened the bipod in front, and pointed the thick muzzle at the front. The huge buttstock was just rightly held back by him.
This gun is no less different from the Monassingan rifle equipped by the Soviet infantry. In terms of length, even without bayonets, it has reached a terrible length of 1.7 meters, almost the same height as a person.
Therefore, this gun cannot be carried behind it, almost always carried, just like carrying a bamboo pole, with the gun pointed to the sky, and it looked quite majestic.
This is the anti-tank weapon and anti-tank gun of the Soviet infantry.
It is always an unavoidable problem to deal with the enemy's tanks alone. Germany's solution is to use recoilless cannons, while the Soviet Union's solution is to anti-tank guns.
This weapon actually started in World War I and was first invented by the Germans at that time.
If you want to penetrate the opponent's armor, you need to have enough energy. For the gun, on the one hand, it is to increase the caliber and on the other hand, it is to increase the length.
Increase the caliber can increase the weight of the warhead and increase the charge amount, thereby increasing the kinetic energy of the warhead. Increase the length of the barrel can increase the work of gunpowder, thereby increasing the initial velocity of the warhead.
Anti-tank guns are such thick and long things.
The Soviets have never given up on research on anti-tank guns. In the past few years, design units across the country proposed a total of 15 anti-tank rifles with caliber from 12.7 mm to 25 mm.
After conducting a lot of experiments and investigations, the plan proposed by the Soviet Union's light weapons range scientific research group won the welcome of the Soviet senior leaders. (nipsvo, the group of people who designed 14.5 high-machine bullets)
Their product is the current ptrr-39 anti-tank gun. The caliber of this gun is 14.5 mm, which is quite a compromise solution, because if the caliber is too large, it will be quite large to the human body's recoil and will pose a threat to human life.
If the diameter is small, the power is not enough.
After the trial production of this gun, it only used ordinary bullets to penetrate the 20mm armor placed at 20 degrees at 500 meters and the 30mm armor placed at 100 meters.
After using special warheads, they can reach a depth of 50 mm, which is quite amazing for an anti-tank gun.
In history, this type of gun was not mass-produced because Germany fooled the Soviet Union and their armor was not 50 mm thick. In history, Germany's No. 3 and No. 4 were really not very thick.
But now it is different. The German tanks have never been penetrated. They are simply a sharp sword hovering above the Soviets' heads. The Soviets have thought of all kinds of ways, such as the current anti-tank guns, which cannot penetrate the armor of the German main battle tanks, but they are also good powerful weapons after all. Therefore, although the production is complicated, they still equipped the troops in small batches so that the troops will not be caught off guard in front of the enemy tanks.
If you can't penetrate the opponent's main armor, you can hit something else. For example, the slit in front of the tanker is aimed at and hit, and a 14.5 mm bullet can fly in. For example, if the opponent's crawler is broken, it is OK. Even when you go around, hit the opponent's side and tail, you may break through, and you will not be helpless.
And now, not to mention the wheeled armored vehicles used by the Germans, there is absolutely no problem!
Ostrov narrowed his eyes, held his breath, aimed at the wheeled armored vehicle that was moving towards him, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" The 14.5mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb flew out of his muzzle. Although the muzzle had been retracted, a huge recoil was still coming. In an instant, his shoulders seemed to be slapped with a shovel, which hurt very much.
He got up, held his rifle and ran away.
In many military affairs, snipers are so awesome, and holding Barrett's snipers is even more awesome. In fact, two words are added to the front of the sniper, called cannon fodder sniper!
No matter how powerful a sniper is, is there any artillery? If you hit someone with a gun, they will use them to hit you. Your position has long been exposed!
Especially for large-caliber rifles, the recoil is quite strong. If there is no muzzle retractor, the recoil will knock people away.
It seems very mysterious. In fact, the muzzle retractor is very simple. At the front end of the muzzle of this kind of anti-tank gun, there is something like a horizontal plug, which is much wider than the barrel, and there are small holes in the middle so that the bullet can be shot out.
At the same time, when the bullet is shot out, the expanded gunpowder gas behind it will also rush out, and a large part of it will impact the reflecting surface of the device, and some of the airflow will be turned and discharged through the side holes, thereby providing a retardant force.
Then, these gases did reduce the recoil of the gun. At the same time, when the gas spreads to both sides, it also blows up everything on both sides.
For example, the dust flew several meters high when Ostrov was just here! The soldier who had been tested in the war could immediately lock his position.
Run, run quickly. If you run slowly, you will be dead!
The sniper must have a very good physical fitness. In addition to carrying this big gun, he must also run fast!
"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion came a few hundred meters away, and he successfully killed an infantry combat vehicle!
But at the same time, other infantry fighting vehicles also discovered his hiding place. In an instant, two or three infantry fighting vehicles were not hesitant to ammunition. The 40mm shells flew out of the muzzle and shot towards Ostrov!
