Just like the effect that any armor-piercing projectile will have the moment it hits the armor plate.
The sharp 88 mm hooded armor-piercing projectile of the warhead cut through the outermost layer of homogeneous steel armor, effortlessly cutting through a cream cake like a red-hot razor, entering almost instantly.
The high-temperature warhead continued to penetrate deep inward under the action of extremely strong kinetic energy, and the broken outer armor was quickly squeezed together, forming an accumulation layer that resembled a lunar crater.
The silver bullet fired from the 128 gun is indeed more effective than the traditional armor-piercing bullet fired from the same gun, and the damage effect on the armor has been greatly improved visible to the naked eye. A small shallow pit can be carved out by conventional armor-piercing bullets using all the kinetic energy of the body.
, once you reach the silver bullet, you can directly cross it in one step, not to mention continue to move deeper.
If this situation continues, if possible, then the Germans will probably get the result they most want and have been looking forward to: a frontal penetration of the main armor belt of the Russian steel monster.
But as the saying goes, things are unpredictable. The development of most things in this world is not determined and controlled by human subjective will.
The German hopes that things will turn out the same way, but things may not turn out that way and develop in the opposite direction. This kind of thing has happened countless times when meeting the leader, just like this time.
Click - click -
During the thousandth of a second when the projectile hits deeper into the armor plate at high speed, the shattering sound coming from the front end of the blunted and deformed warhead cannot be heard by any living thing, let alone reacted by human consciousness.
This was even just a sound that could not be heard at all, mixed in with the huge noise that penetrated the armor.
But there is no doubt that even if the sound is undetectable, the thing that caused the sound is happening.
There was one line at first, then two, three, four, five, six.
The dense spider web patterns spread quickly like cracked ice, rapidly extending from the front end of the warhead to the entire body of the projectile, completely covering it.
Even under such circumstances, the 88 mm capped armor-piercing projectile with huge remaining launch kinetic energy did not stop, and continued to advance along the ballistic trajectory without any delay or pause, until the entire warhead was carried along with the projectile.
The time finally comes when the whole body can no longer hold on.
Snapped--
A soft and crisp sound was instantly drowned out by the huge impact of armor.
The already cracked projectile finally could no longer withstand such a powerful impact kinetic energy. Before the theoretical penetration value was exhausted and the projectile did not stop moving forward, it ushered in a completely unexpected final outcome.
ending.
It shattered
What remained in that hideous, rather deep, but unbroken armor hole were only the mottled marks left by the shattered projectiles.
It is difficult to even find relatively large fragments from the almost shattered projectile debris. Except for the countless tiny fingernail-sized fragments that remain in the unpenetrated craters, most of them have been sprinkled on the solid front of the vehicle like falling snowflakes.
on the armor plate, and eventually fell to the ground.
This shattered 88mm capped armor-piercing projectile did not even have time to detonate the warhead charge. Before the delay fuze had time to take effect, the entire projectile was completely destroyed by its own armor-piercing kinetic energy and turned into fragments.
The projectile fuse fell to the ground along with all the debris.
Therefore, to be precise, the final effect of this "silver bullet" is actually the same as the final effect of the previous armor-piercing bullet fired on this ISU-152A.
No matter how big the difference is, it's just a sound, nothing more.
".We hit it. We hit it."
The gunner, who had been holding on to the gun sight, spoke excitedly. He clearly saw the tracer of the armor-piercing projectile and the huge sparks that burst out when it accurately hit the Russian steel monster. It was undoubtedly a beautiful shot.
An accurate hit, however.
"Have we penetrated it? Is the Russian monster completely dead?"
The gunner next to him was still asking uncertain questions. Without telescope equipment, he could only learn about the battle situation through the information transmission from his comrades. His uncertain words were full of hope.
".I, I can't see the Russian guy moving, I think he should."
"Damn it! That Russian guy is still moving, not dead yet! Shasen!!!"
The gunner's words were equally uncertain and lacked confidence. Before he finished speaking, the gunner who had been holding the telescope tightly with bated breath roared out. Everything that happened was clearly visible in the telescope.
It’s simply scarier than the devil in hell crawling up to earth!
The huge mountain-like steel body roared up again with a jet of black smoke, shaking its body.
It was not moving forward but turning to aim. The track on one side was locked, and the Russian steel behemoth that was rotating rapidly on the other side was still able to move. It was as if the attack on it just now was completely ineffective and only caused it to suspend its actions.
That's all.
The surging power drove the heavy steel body to aim at the target as quickly as possible. The 152mm concrete-destroying bombs that had been loaded in the black muzzle were ready to go, and the roaring roar was destroyed in the German gunner's telescope.
It's already coming.
"It's over."
Boom——
"Haaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
In the tent that was filled with blood, stench, and bursts of disinfectant, an injured German soldier who was covered in night sweats, with sweat beads on his forehead as big as soybean grains, suddenly sat up and screamed, shouting loudly,
He was so startled that another injured soldier who was sleeping beside him sat up immediately.
"Bullshit Feldman, what do you mean if you don't sleep? Watch out for the wound opening. Those Russians won't be kind enough to rebandage and change your dressing. Then you'll just be waiting to die."
Although it didn't last long, the experience of changing his identity from a soldier to a prisoner of war was not a good one. The wounded German prisoner, who was called Friedman, still can't forget the nightmare of that day.
It was a horrifying memory that made him lose an arm, have a cut on his chest, and half his body still be pressed under the concrete ruins. He was only one step away from leaving his life in that damn place.
Maybe this is really good luck. At least the Russians discovered him when they were cleaning the battlefield after the war, and saved his life "with great mercy". Friedman still remembers the armored soldier.
The Russian officer who looked like a human tank, his joking words when he discovered him.
"There's actually a living person here? It's interesting. Take him away, bandage him, and see how long this German guy can survive."
