The heavy and huge projectile hit the armor plate on the front of the No. 4 car like a heavy hammer. Even the frontal defense of the King Tiger did not dare to eat the 130mm giant projectile. How could it be?
What can the weak No. 4 bear?
The powerful explosion not only exploded the front of No. 4's car body instantly, tearing open a huge hole, but also the welds from the top to the bottom of the front were completely torn apart under the impact of strong chemical energy, violently surging.
The flames poured down like a bursting flood, pouring directly into the car.
The direct explosion destroyed everything. The final fate of this poor Panzer IV was that it was bombed to the point where it couldn't even see the basic shape of a tank. It was everywhere within a white meter or even a hundred meters away.
The fragments of the tank that were blown away were scattered.
The engine wreckage that was thrown out of the power cabin by the powerful explosion and the black pot-bottom turret wreckage that was blown away were even hundreds of meters apart.
It is quite common for heads to be moved and corpses to be separated, but it is rare for them to fly such a distance, which is enough to show how powerful the chemical energy transformed by the explosion is.
"Target solved, load the shells!"
"Load armor-piercing bullets, next shot! King Tiger at two o'clock, prepare!"
Under the huge and heavy body shape, there is hidden a fast loading that does not match the appearance. The entire loading process driven by the semi-automatic loader has a strange mechanical punk aesthetic that is hard to describe. It seems like just looking at this loader
The "click-click" mechanical loading process of the bullet machine is enough to make any normal man as addicted and intoxicated as if he saw a beautiful woman.
Bang——
The huge 130 mm projectile was sent to the lower ammunition transport belt along the upper ammunition rack conveyor belt. When it was ready, the launching cartridges that also started in parallel on the middle ammunition rack were also quickly driven by the conveyor belt, and then the projectiles were sent to the lower ammunition transport belt.
Ammo belt.
The projectile and the propellant cartridge are connected in series, and are sent to the rear end of the breech block on the movable loading slide. They are ready to wait for the last step of the loading process of this 130mm Red Navy naval gun.
"Ready, go!"
"Hehe!!!"
Holding one end of the T-shaped ramrod with both hands against the primer of the propellant cartridge, using all the strength, the last loading process was completed in an instant with the joint efforts of the main and auxiliary loaders. The propellant cartridge was fed into the gun barrel with the projectile against it.
There was a "crash" sound inside, followed by the "bang" sound of the breech closing, before the sound of a loud shout from Artyom's mouth could be heard.
"Armor-piercing bullets are good!"
"Avenge Kirill! Fire!"
boom--
Every violent roar of the is7 heavy tank is an invitation from hell. No German tank can survive even half a minute under the majesty of its muzzle. The final fate was already there from the moment Iushkin pulled the trigger of the main gun.
Destined.
The distance of only two hundred meters is almost as close as a heavy tank to a heavy tank fighting face to face.
The 130mm full-caliber capped armor-piercing projectile roared out from the muzzle brake with flames at a muzzle velocity that exceeded one kilometer per second. Under Iushkin's precise aim, it accurately hit the vehicle that was also in the
Aiming at the target, but not having time to fire, King Tiger's face was flat.
What the 122 Heirloom can hardly do, the Red Navy 130 naval gun can do easily.
The armor-piercing potential of the 130 bullet was an order of magnitude higher than that of the 122 Heirloom. It tore through the front protective armor of the King Tiger's turret without any suspense. The 180 mm thick and slightly inclined protective armor was like paper in the face of such an attack.
The paste is almost the same as A4 paper, and it is as effortless as smashing through a broken plywood wall with a hammer.
Boom——
There was another powerful, trembling, concussive explosion.
The ultra-high charge of the projectile warhead of the 130mm Red Army naval gun ensures more than sufficient damage effects, even if the Germans’ upgraded version of the Long 88 semi-automatic loader removes the annoying ammunition rack at the end of the turret,
However, the huge power of the 130mm naval gun is still enough to destroy the remaining unfired ammunition in its loader.
Let this "wind assist the fire, and the fire borrow the power of the wind" explosion, completely destroy this 70-ton precious German steel, tearing it into hot metal fragments and industrial waste.
There is no chance of survival. If you are hit, you will be penetrated. If you are penetrated, the whole vehicle will explode and rise to the sky.
There is no reason to argue in front of this extremely ferocious Russian steel behemoth. The deep feeling of powerlessness is like countless withered ghost hands climbing up in the abyss, tightly wrapping around the German armored soldiers and crawling all over their bodies.
It was bone-chilling cold and deep in the nightmare of despair, like falling into hell.
"We can't deal with that monster at all! All...all the cannonballs will be bounced away by it like being attracted by a magnet!"
"Keep fighting, for Germany! For the 502nd Battalion!"
"Fight these Russians! Hit their guns!"
According to their own logical experience, the German armored forces tried to find out the weaknesses of this unprecedented Russian steel behemoth from any possible point. They even used the "cannon root" method when dealing with the T34 in 1941.
, but all this is still destined to be in vain.
Ding-ding——
crackling——
call out--
The is7 turret, which is firmly protected by the heavy mantlet, does not have the so-called "gun root weakness" at all. The "weakness attack" method that is applicable to the usual Red Army medium tanks, even the is2 and is6 heavy tanks, does not exist on the is7.
It has no effect at all and is completely ineffective.
The armor-piercing projectiles roaring at high speed were directly bounced away again, just like what a German armored soldier shouted on the radio, as if they were being sucked away by a big magnet, which made people feel hopeless and helpless.
The is7, which had a deep ballistic mark on the gun mantlet, seemed to be unscathed. The huge but not clumsy inverted pot lid-shaped turret rotated rapidly at a speed completely disproportionate to its size. The muzzle was fired repeatedly.
The huge muzzle brake, blackened by the flames, was aimed at the target again.
"This shot regains the honor of the leader! Go to hell, Fasis!"
boom--
The thunderous sound of artillery fire roared again, and the impact of this shot was even more exaggerated and terrifying!
The unlucky Tiger King, who had no time to adjust its parking position and only focused on firing first, unintentionally put itself in an extremely embarrassing situation: the enemy is high and we are low.
The front of the car tilts downward. The King Tiger, which is located on the edge of a crater, is not only located in a relatively low-lying area, but also offsets a considerable part of the upward tilt of the car body.
The No. 177 command-type 1s7, which was at a relatively high position, succeeded with one strike, with deadly accuracy.
The powerful and heavy armor-piercing projectile actually broke through the almost "invincible" upper armor of the Tiger King. With the last impact kinetic energy, it left a hole on the heavy upper armor plate that could
The entire arm was completely inserted into the huge hole and then forced into the car.
An explosion big enough to lift a 20-ton head into the sky followed.
