Chapter 678 Tank No. 4
"Is there any problem?" Wu Yuhang saw Abner standing still and asked, "The front armor of the German tank No. 4 is 80mm, right?"
"That's right!" Abner replied.
"That's good!" Wu Yuhang was startled by Abna, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he was sure the data was correct.
"Then..." Abner then asked, "Col. How do you plan to use a bazooka to block the German tanks?"
Wu Yuhang did not answer, he took the rifle from the guards, waved at Abner while walking, and said, "You'll know when you go out and take a look!"
The two of them walked out of the command center, found a place to slowly poke their heads out, raised their telescopes and looked at the battlefield.
Dozens of German tanks drove forward in an orderly manner, followed by teams of German infantry, including dozens of armored vehicles... The German combat style is a bit similar to that of the Japanese army, that is, it is extremely courageous, and sometimes it can even be described as "stupid".
On the armored vehicle, the German officer wore a very obvious high-brimmed hat and directed the soldiers around him forward with his head held high and his chest, and from time to time he raised his telescope to observe forward.
These German officers will naturally become the key targets of snipers in the Expeditionary Force... So one German officer after another was killed on armored vehicles.
But Colonel De was shot dead and the commander of the lieutenant colonel, and the commander of the lieutenant colonel was shot dead and the commander of the major. They were all very high-profile as if they were afraid that the enemy would not know that they were officers.
Later, the snipers of the Expeditionary Force were no longer interested in those officers because they found that no matter how many officers they killed, they could not affect the command of the German army. Those low-level officers would come up one by one... Since they could not effectively destroy their command, killing the officers would become meaningless.
However, the German tank captain did not dare to stick his head out... The tank had poor external perception ability, and the German tank captain often liked to stick out his head to observe the situation outside the tank and command the tank to fight.
This can indeed make up for the shortcomings of the tank and command the tank to respond quickly, but after all, there are only a few tank crew members in total and they all perform their own duties. If the enemy is suppressed by snipers, it will obviously not apply.
Then, as the German tanks got closer, the good show came on.
After a burst of cannon sound, smoke rose on the battlefield... It was smoke bombs fired by the Expeditionary Force.
The smoke bombs accompanied by the smoke and dust on the battlefield quickly covered the battlefield hazy.
It is true that smoke bombs will also block the Expeditionary Force's view, but the Expeditionary Force is located in the trenches and is in the dark, so it is even more difficult for the enemy to discover it once the smoke bomb is fired.
But the German army was just the opposite. They were in the open and had a big target... The giant tank was ahead, and even if there was smoke, it was easy to be discovered.
What's worse is that it is even harder for the German machine gunners and gunners located in the tank to observe the external situation, and the driver's situation is similar. So the tank's speed slowed down, and the gunshots and gunshots were much weaker, as if they were moving forward carefully on their toes.
But even this is useless. Soon, a smog sounded like torpedoes in the sea, and a smog started from the trenches of the expeditionary army and finally reached the German tanks. Then a "boom" burst out a ball of fire... The flame seemed particularly bright in the hazy smoke, and the tank staggered forward for a while, and then stopped and stopped moving again.
Then there was another unique roar of the bazooka, and then it was heard one after another. With the sound of the German tanks, one after another, turned into flames.
It should be said that it was not so easy to hit a tank in the bazooka because it had to fire within 100 meters... This thing has too much wind skew, and even if the target is a tank, it would be difficult for a big guy to hit it if he targeted it a tank a hundred meters away.
The problem with shooting within 100 meters is... the German cover infantry can easily see the bazooka shooter, and the bazooka shooter is carrying such a big thing and has to poke out the upper body to aim. This is a good target for German infantry and even machine gunners in tanks.
But after the smoke bomb, everything was confusing. In addition, the bazooka shooter and the cooperation and cover of the Expeditionary Force snipers and mortars, so you can aim at the target with relative confidence.
This scene only made Abna stunned.
The bazooka thing is similar to a fire stick in the hands of the British army, because few British troops dare to use the bazooka to pick enemy tanks at such a close distance... You should know that it is a tank. Even if the speed is slow, it can be more than ten kilometers per hour, and the distance of one hundred meters is not a minute. This can almost be said to be that one shot cannot stop the tank and is right in front of you.
What surprised Abna was how could the Zhong* team have such poor accuracy and hit such a high hit rate... almost every two shots, which is as high as 50% hit rate.
After the war, Abner asked this question, and he even doubted whether the rocket launcher used by the Chinese team was upgraded or equipped with special sights.
Wu Yuhang just smiled and said, "Nothing is enough, only hands are familiar!"
Of course, Abner didn't know what this said. Later, he learned that the Chinese team had fired more rockets on the Pacific battlefield, so he had a feeling of the rocket launcher... As soon as he picked it up, he felt the speed and direction of the wind, and Dalei knew the flight trajectory of the rocket.
So not only did they not have any special sights, some soldiers even felt that the sights were inconvenient to carry and increased weight, so they simply frustrated.
In fact, this time, the tank group that attacked the German army was not as easy as it seemed, and the soldiers were still under pressure.
The main reason is that I used to fight Japanese tanks, but now I have replaced them with German tanks... This refers to German tank No. 4.
The No. 4 tank on the German army at this time was H\J type... The armor of this tank is very special. Its 80mm thick armor is divided into two layers, with a little space in the middle. This is the so-called "space armor". The side armor and rear armor are also covered with a thin layer of armor outside.
This design is obviously aimed at the metal jet of the rocket... When the metal jet hits the thin armor, it will be shot out in advance. Because there is a gap in the middle, the high-temperature metal jet spreads around and then hits the main armor, thus weakening the rocket's armor-piercing ability in stages.
So in this battle, although the armor of the German tank No. 4 is only 80mm, which is much smaller than the depth of the rocket, the rocket needs two rounds, and three rounds or even more, it cannot destroy the tank No. 4.
