Chapter 2414 Feel the power of the Red Navy

In an IS7 heavy tank that is not far away, his keen eyes have already noticed the target that needs to be attacked when the smoke rises. Although he has not been able to directly look at the target within the field of view to find its precise position, the approximate direction and orientation are enough for the experienced and experienced car captain.

"The target is at 11 o'clock, 300 meters away! Smoke rises behind the earth slope, aim!"

The huge turret is as big as an upside down hill, painted with the "177" call sign, the guard logo, the leader's emblem, and the iconic "revenge of the hero Kirill" turrets are turning rapidly, and the huge black hole can quickly point completely to its location and aim at the target.

"Recharge the delayed grenade, get on the bullet! Quick!"

IS7 is a very special heavy tank. When it was born, it had already set many unprecedented "firsts" in the entire Stalin-type heavy tank family.

One of them is the first heavy tank designed and built using many mature shelf products from the Red Navy.

Those ready-made shelf products from the Red Navy not only make the IS7, which was born in the end, mature and reliable, but also have many "special abilities" that are unprecedented in the Stalin heavy tanks of the same line. For example, using the same 130mm naval gun as the Red Navy destroyer, it fires certain special types that are only available in the Red Navy ammunition depot.

What Marashenko now requires is not the Army's general contact-type collision-fighting fuze high-explosion kill grenade, but the semi-armor-piercing delayed fuze high-explosion kill grenade from the Red Navy.

This special type of ammunition from the Red Navy ammunition depot was originally designed for naval combat and was specially used to kill some small and medium tonnage ships with thin skin, large fillings, no armor or thin armor protection, such as patrol ships, destroyers, light cruisers, etc.

Its working principle is also very simple. It uses a semi-armour-piercing bullet with a certain wall thickness to penetrate the unprotected hull shell or light armor, and detonate inside the enemy ship under the action of a delayed fuse, causing serious internal injuries.

Compared with the traditional high-explosive kill grenades with contact type fuzes, blasting the enemy ship from the inside can significantly enhance the damage after-effect, destroy more cabins, kill more people, and cause more serious damage to the hull structure. This is much more damage than the average high-explosive grenade that hits the ship's shell and explodes.

It may not work very well against those battle patrols and battleships that are thick in skin and thick in armor, but it is definitely a pleasure to deal with small and medium-sized ships with thin skin and large fillings.

The cost is that the half-armor-piercing bullet wall, which is much thicker than ordinary high-explosion kill grenades, will squeeze out a considerable amount of the warhead charging space, resulting in the half-armor-piercing delay fuse grenades having a much smaller charge than traditional grenades, but compared with those actual armor-piercing bullets, the warhead charging volume is still extremely large.

So this is a special type between a real armor-piercing bomb and a high-explosive grenade. It is indeed a special type that corresponds to the special needs of the navy and the maritime combat environment. It is not something that the army can use under normal circumstances.

As the direct orthodox successor of the Red Navy's 130mm destroyer naval gun, Marashenko's IS7 heavy tank carries this semi-armor-piercing delay fuse grenade originally designed for use by the Red Navy.

Don't get me wrong. Marashenko carried this special type of bomb, which was definitely not intended to fight the German tanks or the German infantry. The pitiful armor-piercing depth of the semi-armored delay fuse grenade can obviously not play a role in dealing with the German Zoo, which is now thicker than a certain level of skin and flesh.

On the contrary, because the reduction in the loading of the warhead caused by the thickening of the bullet wall will seriously weaken the overpressure impact of the grenade. It will not only not penetrate the target but also reduce the soft lethality. Some targets that could have killed and shot dead may jump around in one shot. It is so embarrassing to use this semi-armor-piercing delay fuse grenade in a different environment.

But this does not mean that this special ammunition is useless. The battlefield is not a diode test site. In most cases, it does not mean that it is useless at all. In some extremely special cases, it can produce miraculous effects if used properly. For example, now, this is also the reason why Marashenko has forward-lookingly equipped his car with several special ammunitions.

Because it is an infrequently used type of ammunition, in most cases, they will lie quietly in the chassis and floor ammunition rack to sleep and eat dust.

Therefore, if you want to use a 130mm full-diameter half-armor piercing delay fuze grenade, it must be loaded manually instead of semi-automatically. At least it is extremely huge and heavy in weight than ordinary grenades. It must be taken out of the chassis ammunition rack for loading.

"Uh Suka! This thing is so heavy, much heavier than ordinary grenades. It's almost as good as the armor-piercing bombs, Bret!"

"Hurry, put it on, hurry!"

Artem, who was the main loader, greeted the deputy loader Sergei and quickly moved the projectile onto the loading slide, but he himself stood by watching others work without doing anything, pretending to be stupid.

Sergei was responsible for loading the projectiles, so Artem had to be responsible for the operation of the loader and the loading of the launch cartridge.

To be precise, the so-called "manual loading" is just the projectile held in Sergei's arms that needs to be loaded manually. In order to quickly load the cartridge, Artem still operates a semi-automatic loading machine, transporting the conveying belt from the lower half of the ammunition rack at the tail end of the turret, and keeping in the same straight line with the projectile that Sergei has put on the loading slide rail, and then performs the last step of loading the bullet rod.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to push the bullet rod for the last step of loading into the chamber. This is the standard operating procedure of the loading hand clearly stipulated in the operation manual.

But at this moment, in order to quickly load, Artem quickly completed the last step of pushing into the chamber in desperation. He did not turn around and pick up the push rod behind him, but instead winked at Sergey beside him.

Sergei, who had formed a speechless tacit understanding through long-term cooperation and cooperation, immediately understood it, put his left hand on the top of the bullet and supported his body, and his right hand directly pressed against the left half of the launching cartridge.

In contrast, Artem, who was standing opposite the other side of the bulge latch, also stretched out his left hand and pressed against the right half of the launch cartridge with his palm, and put his right hand on the top of the bulge latch to support his body and was ready to go.

"Try hard! Go!"
