Chapter 2227 Although grenades are good, don’t be greedy for them
When the dust from the intense ammunition explosion settled, the fire, smoke, and metal debris all over the sky finally turned silent.
This unlucky Black Panther II, which was blasted directly through the dome of the vehicle body by a 122mm full-caliber high-explosive grenade, has long lost its complete tank shape. Only a twisted and deformed vehicle that can barely be recognized as a tank chassis is left.
The remains of the car body continued to burn there, and the entire upper armor of the car body from the bow to the side armor to the chrysanthemum armor was almost completely blown away and shattered.
The two tracks were literally blown into a single track pad, and pieces were scattered on the ground by the explosion. The torsion bar was connected to the road wheels, and the entire walking device of the guide wheels was also completely destroyed.
, and even disappeared.
The powerful chemical energy explosion that burst out from the inside directly caused the mechanical structures connected to the car body to fly out of the car. It can be imagined how powerful the explosion was at that time.
The blast impact that penetrated the dome armor in the middle of the vehicle body went down to the ammunition rack on the inside of the vehicle body. Therefore, it can't be considered that the unlucky Black Panther II was blown up into this state with a loud bang and flames shooting into the sky.
How unjust the death of the two Black Panthers was. It can only be said that the aftermath of being hit by an unreasonable large-caliber grenade should be like this.
After experiencing several difficult battles against German heavy armored treasures such as Scrap Iron Man, Tiger Death, and Bad Tiger, they discovered that full-caliber armor-piercing bullets were not very effective in destroying these valuables.
After several battles, the crews met and exchanged experiences, and a consensus was quickly reached.
Instead of using armor-piercing projectiles that are not necessarily effective against heavy armor and valuables, and cannot be used to bombard soft infantry targets, it is better to directly replace high-explosive grenades with high-explosive grenades that are pre-loaded into the chamber and ready to be fired.
In this way, not only can it be used against those difficult-to-handle German heavy armored valuables, but also when encountering soft targets such as infantry or defensive bunkers, it can also be used to directly target those with medium or light armor protection during fortifications.
There is no need to even think about other German armored vehicles. Heavy armored valuables can blast out internal damage with a single shot of large-caliber grenades, but you are a loser?
Scrap Iron Man, Tiger Death, Bad Tiger and all those precious things can barely carry a car without killing the whole car on the spot. Those little Broken Fours and Three Bald Guys just stand a little aside and blast them directly with one shot.
If it doesn't blow up the car, it will burn high. Thank you Kaiser for his blessing in heaven. What kind of bicycle do you want?
As for the grenade, it does have shortcomings such as low muzzle velocity, poor accuracy, and low long-distance hit rate.
But it doesn’t matter. As the saying goes, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. The most terrible problem is the poor hit rate. Can’t I just pile up the quantity?
The Leader's Division is different from other ordinary Red Army tank units. Here it is not mainly medium tanks and supplemented by heavy tanks, but a completely reversed one with mainly heavy tanks and medium tanks supplemented. And this "mainly" still accounts for
The ratio is extremely high, and the total number of heavy tanks far exceeds that of medium tanks.
In addition, the leader division after the synthetic reorganization has independent combat capabilities. In most cases, it can independently complete most tactical objectives without the cooperation of other friendly ground forces. It is a legion-level field force with strong adaptability to complex battlefields.
It is common to see groups of as few as thirty or fifty and as many as hundreds of heavy tanks deployed across the width of the main battlefield.
This also means that the German army on the opposite side, which is fortunate enough to be the opponent of the leader division, will never face only a few, or rather a dozen, Stalin heavy tanks and blast them with grenades. Instead, it will start with at least thirty or fifty tanks.
Stalin's heavy tanks launched a "battle line column" style concentrated fire bombardment, and the amount of firepower projected was simply not comparable to that of ordinary tank units.
After firing a few or a dozen rounds of grenades, you Santoku can laugh at my lack of accuracy. Most of the shells flew away.
What about the thirty-fifty grenade that starts with a hundred volleys and has no cap? You Sandezi just took a few steps, got out of the car and took a stroll, laughed, you continued to laugh, and had a good laugh amidst the sound of artillery fire.
I, Malashenko, can’t even hear your screams.
Although it sounds simple and crude, it is actually very unreasonable.
In the face of this absolute strength, the German army tried various counter-tactics such as bypassing and long-distance shooting, but none of them worked. Each time it ended in a crushing defeat, becoming an Arabic digit on the leader's division's record list.
Therefore, the Black Panther II that was taken away by a 122 grenade shot and exploded in an instant was not just an example. It was a fierce exchange of fire at this moment, a close fight, and a boiling battlefield that was grinding steel and flesh at the same time.
Almost all German tracked armored combat vehicles are not immune to what they are encountering, or have already encountered and will encounter in the future.
"Next shot, reload with armor-piercing bullets! Ilyukov, smash the head of Black Panther II!"
Of course, it doesn’t mean that grenades are easier to use. Just because they are adaptable on the battlefield, they can be used everywhere with one move.
In the first few rounds, after being able to ensure concentrated grenade fire and salvo bombardment against the German armored targets that threatened the most, the tank commanders of the Leader Division, whose vehicles had different reloading speeds and enemy tracking speeds, still timely responded according to the target in front of them and the enemy.
Due to the current battle situation, an order was issued to adjust the type of ammunition loaded.
For example, those commanders who had high-threat, high-value enemy armored targets within their field of vision, without exception, ordered to put on armor-piercing bullets and prepare to shoot.
The reason for this is quite simple. After the initial one or two rounds of grenade salvos that can maintain the rhythm, each vehicle crew will soon enter a relatively independent state. Unless there is a grassroots commander who specifically orders coordination, otherwise
That is to maintain the basic formation and maintain the relative distance between vehicles and "fight the enemy whom you pick up".
Each vehicle crew works relatively independently, so the reloading time after a single firepower has to be considered.
If the 122 grenade misses a hit, or is only seriously injured but not killed, and the German tractor on the opposite side still has the power to fight back, then the situation will become a turn-based beating, which is relatively passive.
Armor protection is only the last line of life support. The best way to ensure the survival of the entire vehicle crew is always to kill the enemy target first, so that he can't fire, and the threat to you will naturally be reduced to zero, rather than relying on thick skin and thick flesh.
Just passively take the beating, and wait for the next shot to return fire after one missed shot. No one can tell whether the German's shot will hit some dangerous places at a tricky angle.
Therefore, in order to ensure the absolute hit rate and armor damage effect, it is a good choice to switch to armor-piercing bullets at this time. Adjust measures to local conditions and flexibly switch bullet types according to the changing real-time battlefield needs. This is a must for every veteran commander.
Only after passing this level can one be considered an elite commander.
At the same time as our own tanks aimed at the German armored targets and opened fire, wreaking havoc, the mechanized infantrymen riding on infantry fighting vehicles and entering the battlefield simultaneously with the tanks also got off their vehicles one by one and joined the battle, with their hands already charged.
The ready-to-go iron fist is the best "German livestock killer".
