Chapter 671 Tungsten Alloy Armor Piercing Projectile
Just now, they moved their positions, but now they have no time and the other party is already very close. If they move again, they will be caught up by the other party if they can't wait to shoot again.
At this time, they are all left to fight, fight!
Can't beat it? Then keep fighting!
While they opened fire, other firepower on the front also began to shoot. Except for the terrifying kv-1 tank, the rest of the tanks were not scared.
Even Finnish soldiers holding anti-tank guns were able to beat the BT-5 to smoke immediately.
At this time, the kv-1 tank did not stop and fire. Advance so slowly would obviously waste time.
At this time, the engine at the tail of the kv-1 tank was bursting with black smoke, constantly moving forward.
Crush over! The defense line is in the same direction. As long as he can rush over and reach the back of the defense line, these soldiers guarding the defense line will all run away in panic. They don’t even need to fire guns. They can only use machine guns to shoot the Finns!
"Boom!" The 50mm anti-tank gun continued to fire. Now, they have fired five shells, and the tanks on the opposite side have rushed to a distance of 100 meters!
This shell flew to the opposite side again, but unfortunately, just like when I was just now, it still couldn't penetrate the opponent's armor!
The huge monster-like tank was rumbled towards them! At this time, Mirokov and others were already full of confidence in the tank.
Their tanks are the most powerful, and nothing can penetrate their armor!
According to the training information, their tanks have a front armor thickness of up to 130 mm! This thickness is definitely greater than that of the German tanks, so they are not afraid of being penetrated, because in this era, anti-tank weapons that can penetrate theirs do not exist at all!
Finns, let you see the strength of the Soviet army!
The tank rumbled forward. He had just received five guns, and the opponent's accurate head was quite high. Unfortunately, it was impossible to penetrate!
The driver even aimed at the other side and drove over, killing the opponent's anti-tank gun position first!
Use your own tracks to crush them all!
On this side, Pattifer gritted his teeth and shouted: "Recharge, continue to load!"
There is only one chance to shoot. If this shot cannot be penetrated, it will only be with an anti-tank grenade! Damn it, how thick is the Soviet tank?
You should know that the anti-tank gun of our side can penetrate 78 mm thick vertical steel plates 500 meters away. Is the thickness of the opponent's armor exceeding 100 mm?
"Yes!" The loader answered, and picked up the last shell in the ammunition box.
On their side, there are two ammunition boxes in total, and there are six shells in each ammunition box. Now, there is only the last one left in this ammunition box.
When I picked up the loading hand, I clearly felt that this shell was heavier than the ones I just did. What's going on?
Just as he quickly stuffed the shell into the barrel, his eyes saw the color of the warhead, which was much brighter than the steel armor-piercing bomb just now!
"Fire!" At this moment, the tank on the opposite side had already started to move to a distance of fifty meters, which was the last one! The ammunition in the other ammunition box was not used!
If this one cannot penetrate...
Pattifo's thinking stopped here. He watched the shell he fired accurately hit the Soviet tank that was close to him. He could even see the several deep pits on the other party's gun shield and the body of the car were all left by his shooting just now.
This time, the shell they expected flew towards the target at high speed and smashed heavily on the armor. Then, the warhead drilled forward and forward, and suddenly, the front of his head relaxed.
Already penetrated!
The warhead drilled in and just rubbed against the turret armor, forming a high temperature. At this time, Mirokov in the turret seemed to smell the burning smell.
A thin metal molten material splashed over with the armor-piercing shell. When it splashed on the cannon captain's body, the cannon captain made a tragic sound.
His pain was not long. The warhead that had penetrated hit the ammunition behind them. Then, a violent explosion came!
"Boom!" The 76mm shell emitted a violent explosion. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas instantly stirred up a piece of flesh and blood in the entire turret. There was no complete human body inside, and it all turned into a roasted meat filling.
The high-pressure gas drilled into the seat of the turret, and the sealing here was not tight, and then the gas began to vent.
If you can see from outside, with a loud bang, the seat ring of the turret was coming out, and hot flames and black smoke came out. With the explosion, the turret was lifted half a meter high and then fell heavily.
There is no more living person inside!
Destroyed, finally destroyed!
Pattifer suddenly remembered something and shouted excitedly: "For this kind of tank, we can use our tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs!"
It is not because of the close distance that it penetrates the opponent's tanks and armor are quite thick! How thick is it? It is definitely more than one hundred millimeters!
Therefore, steel armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate the opponent, even if they are at zero distances!
Fortunately, in their ammunition, in addition to steel armor-piercing bombs, there is another type, which is tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs!
During the initial trial production, this 50mm anti-tank gun used tungsten alloy armor-piercing bomb, the speed was close to 1,200 meters per second, the effective range was 2,700 meters, and it could penetrate 120mm vertical steel plates at 500 meters!
Therefore, tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs are a way to significantly and effectively improve armor-piercing capabilities!
In later generations, armor-piercing bombs were almost mainly tungsten alloys. The only ones that were better than it were depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs.
Armor piercing bombs are hard and hard, the higher the strength, the better. The hardness of tungsten alloy is the highest.
However, this kind of armor-piercing bomb is not equipped in large quantities because tungsten alloy is too expensive!
If it were historically the situation, Germany would not have been too luxurious to use tungsten alloy to build shells, which would be a waste of resources. But now, with the secret excavation of Austrian tungsten ore, Germany can now mine 400,000 tons of ore and produce 1,800 tons of commercial metal tungsten.
Therefore, German tank guns have also begun to be equipped with a certain proportion of tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs.
Of course, if it was supported to Finland, it shouldn't have supported tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs. However, these shells were not transported from the factory, but were eliminated from Germany's own equipment sequence.
