Chapter 931 Descends from the sky

"High explosion bomb loading, No. 1 loading." Each Carl cannon was organized into a company. At this time, next to the second cannon Eva, the commander was meticulously directing.

In history, there was only one type of bullet in this kind of gun, which was concrete armor-piercing bombs, which could penetrate a 2.5-meter-thick concrete layer, and was specially used to attack enemy fortifications.

Now, this kind of gun has been improved and has the task of firing high-explosive bombs. Moreover, its ballistics are even better. At the end of the shell, it fell directly from the sky, fell vertically, and was useless to hide behind any cover.

With his orders, a loading car next to him began to get busy.

The shells of this kind of gun weigh two tons, so ordinary loading methods are simply ineffective. In order to cooperate with this kind of gun, Rhine Company also specially designed an ammunition transport vehicle using the Black Panther 2 tank chassis. This transport vehicle is equipped with mechanical booms and special shell transport clips, which can directly replenish ammunition for the mortar on the battlefield.

Now, with the command of the company commander, the mechanical boom slowly transported the two-ton warhead to the tail of the cannon. After accurately setting it up, it was pushed into the chamber with a special push rod. All of this was hydraulically assisted and very easy.

Depending on the range, they use two types of launching drugs. The No. 1 charge has a short range. Now, they do not need to have particularly long distances.

During the entire loading process, the gun body was always horizontal, and after the loading was completed, it began to stand up.

Work hard, come on!

The two gunners on both sides quickly turned the shaking handle and shaking the cannon body!

This cannon body weighs more than ten tons, but it depends on the strength of two people's arms!

Yes, when designing, because the power of the hydraulic system is insufficient, the upright of the gun body requires manual means! It may also be that this system was inherited from ordinary howitzers, which requires manual shaking of high and low machines and direction machines.

As long as I give me a fulcrum, I can lift the earth and reduce the demand for strength through mechanical solutions, which is absolutely OK, but this pays the price of distance.

From now on, the gunners on both sides swayed dozens of times, and the gun body only rose at a small angle!

It is already very hard to turn the shaking handle of a 105mm or 155mm howitzer under intense field conditions, let alone a super cannon!

Even the strongest gunner, each pitching action of the gun body takes 4 to 6 minutes. Therefore, the standard gun fire rate stated in the specification of this mortar is 6 rounds per hour. Even if one round is fired every ten minutes, the factor of manual shaker should be taken into account.

Because, not only does it have to be shaken, but every time you load it, you also need to put it flat! This is definitely the most deceptive job!

Gunners have long been accustomed to it. German guns have always had this characteristic. For example, Tiger tanks are slow to shake the turret, but another advantage it brings is that they are high accuracy and can be accurately shaken to a certain angle.

After three minutes and fifty seconds, the gunner slowed down and then stopped: "The angle is correct."

Just shake the high and low machine. In terms of direction, you can only fine-tune one angle. The steering at a large angle is carried out by the chassis. Turning the two tracks can change the entire gun body to a large angle. From this point of view, it can also be said to be a self-propelled gun.

"Open fire!"

"boom!"

Generally, cannons have long gun barrels. The longer the barrel, the more gunpowder does work, the greater the speed of the shells that are out, the further they will hit.

However, the mortar cannon goes the other way. Its barrel is less than twice the diameter of the muzzle, and its utilization rate is very low. It is a smoothbore cannon with a large firing angle, low initial velocity, and high arc ballistic ballistic.

Although the range is short, the projectile is powerful and is mainly used to destroy solid fortifications. (If you don’t have a conscience, you can be regarded as such a cannon.)

Now, after firing, the 2-ton warhead was only accelerated to a speed of 245 meters per second, and the naked eye could keep up with its progress.

Covered by black smoke, the warhead drew a graceful curve and flew towards the Soviet soldiers rushing towards the opposite side.

Due to the low speed, the sound it made when it rubbed against the air became even more low. Soviet soldiers couldn't help but look up and watched a huge monster appear in the sky.

Then, the thing flew over their heads, as if they had exhausted all their energy and fell directly from the sky!

Yes, it just fell down vertically! This kind of ballistic is quite strange. The warhead falling from the sky is increasingly showing its hugeness, and the Soviet soldiers' faces are filled with a terrified expression.

No one is afraid of death, especially in front of the enemy's secret weapons.

The whimpering sound of the warhead falling down seemed to be making a whistle of death. The attacking Soviet soldiers stopped their own steps and looked for a place to hide.

There was chaos around them. In the middle of them, the captain of the T-34 tank also opened the cover above his head and looked into the sky.

It became bigger and bigger, and almost in a blink of an eye, his tank was shrouded in black shadows.

When I understood what was going on, the captain had no time to shout: "Hurry, speed up and drive forward!"

Just now, the infantry outside was in chaos, and the tank hands did not dare to move, for fear of driving around and pressing the infantry. In the coordination of infantry and tanks, this is a very terrible thing. If you press your infantry under your tracks, the tank hands were under a lot of psychological pressure.

And now, I don’t care about anything anymore, so I can drive away quickly!

After hearing his order, the driver in front stepped on the accelerator. Unfortunately, the tank had just moved half the length of the body, and the huge bomb on it landed on the turret without any deviation!

What does it feel like to be hit by a two-ton shell? If the tank could speak, it would definitely scream.

"Boom!" As a high-explosive bomb, it immediately exploded after it hit the ground. But now, it first hit the turret, and then the explosion occurred. Although the iron-made turret was flattened at this moment!

Yes, it just flattened! The two-ton shells fell from the sky and accelerated to a speed of hundreds of meters per second, and the energy they had was quite huge!

The entire tank also moved towards the ground with the collision. The coil spring on the load-bearing wheel broke because it could not withstand the huge pressure, and the track pressed down dozens of centimeters!

The moment the collision occurred, the people inside the tank were bleeding from the violent collision, and the captain on the top was directly pressed into a meat pie!
