Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 566 K-type armor-piercing projectile
Qi Lin ejected the conventional S-type bullets from his G98, and then pressed five K-type bullets into them with bridge clips.

In addition, he brought nearly a hundred rounds of K-type bombs as a backup before leaving the trench that had been bombed into a mess.

As soon as Qi Lin got into another trench, he bumped into a small group of German soldiers who had retreated from the front. Almost all of these soldiers were injured, and two of them were carried on stretchers, covered in blood, and their life and death were uncertain.

"Corporal, why are you here?" The leader of this group of German troops was a second lieutenant. When he saw Qi Lin coming out of the corner with a rifle in his hand, he subconsciously raised the pistol in his hand, but fortunately, he saw it in time. After clearing Qi Lin's military uniform, he didn't pull the trigger.

"Marcus's machine gun squad was taken down by shells. I have to inform other people, otherwise this line of defense will be breached soon!" Qi Lin said casually with an excuse.

"This line of defense has already been breached." The second lieutenant sighed, "None of us can stop those tanks made of steel. They are like monsters, and they can walk on the ground in front of barbed wire and trenches. The three trenches in front are all It has already fallen, and it is estimated that the British will rush here soon, and we have to retreat to the underground fortification."

"Tan... there are only three steel chariots of that kind, and we still have a chance—" Originally, Qi Lin wanted to single-handedly kill the three tanks, but now seeing this group of soldiers, he suddenly thought of a strategy with a higher success rate. big way.

"Opportunity?!" The second lieutenant smiled wryly. "There is no chance. Our bullets can penetrate the armor of this kind of tank. They don't even need to shoot. They can run over our soldiers and kill our soldiers!"

"No, we can penetrate its armor, as long as we use K-type bullets!" After speaking, Qi Lin ran back to the position of the machine gun squad, and brought over the other two K-type bullet chains.

The soldiers looked at each other, and the second lieutenant also looked suspicious, but Qi Lin pushed the K-type bullet in the rifle into the barrel indifferently, and said to the second lieutenant, "We can do an experiment."

After finishing speaking, Qi Lin poked half of his head out slightly—since this area had just been bombarded by artillery fire, the position was filled with a lot of gunpowder smoke, which could just be used as a cover.

Qi Lin picked up the G98 rifle and began to use the sights that come with the rifle to aim...

(As the saying goes - use the machine to aim, and the one who pulls the big bolt is a pure man...)
When using K bullets for armor-piercing, the best shooting angle is perpendicular to the armor plate - K bullets, as early armor-piercing bullets, do not have caps and hoods, so it is impossible to use the rectification effect to correct the angle of the warhead. Once the angle is tilted If it is too large, the warhead will easily slide away from the armor plate and form a ricochet.

Qi Lin had been waiting, and the second lieutenant was also holding the binoculars tightly in his hand, observing the opposite tank through the fading gunpowder smoke.

The smoke is gradually dissipating, and the three Mark I tanks have already run over several barbed wire fences arranged by the German army in front of the position. At this moment, a female Mark I tank crossed a trench. The right half of the body It got stuck a little bit, although for a tank that uses track to advance, it can get out of the predicament soon, but with this large deviation, the armor plate of the right turret coincided with Qi Lin's ballistic for a moment the vertical——

"Bah!!"

Qi Lin immediately pulled the trigger, and the K-type bullet came out, passed through the diffuse smoke, and shot straight on the armor plate of the right turret, punching a round hole!
"Success!" The second lieutenant exclaimed in a low voice, "You...how did you do it?!"

"Let's not talk about this first, run!" Qi Lin was not complacent when he shot through the armor of the tank. Instead, the second lieutenant immediately ran towards the depths of the trench, while the other German soldiers were stunned for a moment. After that, he followed immediately.

Qi Lin and the others had just left the shooting site for more than 20 seconds. First, they fired several rounds of machine guns, and the bullets kept hitting the sandbags and soil on the edge of the trench. There was a deafening explosion - if they hadn't moved in time, they would have all been killed by the shells by now.

During World War I, the most commonly used tactic against snipers was to call for artillery strikes.

"I should have hit the machine gunner in the turret on the right. Look, the tank started to retreat!" Qi Lin took out his trench periscope and looked towards the opposite position.

Sure enough, the Mark I tank, half of which was trapped in the trench, began to retreat slowly after getting out of trouble. After careful observation, it can be found that the other machine guns of the tank were still pouring ammunition towards the German position, except for the gun on the right side. His machine gun never fired again.

The space inside the Mark I tank is very narrow, and the crew is as many as eight people, including the commander, driver, machine gunner and loader. Once a person in one position is shot, it is difficult for others to move the body away Refill, unless they dump the body out of the tank.

But to do that is almost tantamount to suicide.

"What's going on here? Can the K-type bullet really penetrate the shell of that steel chariot?!" The second lieutenant asked Qi Lin excitedly.

When facing a steel monster like a tank, which was on the battlefield for the first time, the second lieutenant was already desperate, but now, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope amidst his despair.

Qi Lin nodded: "Yes, but it is very reluctant. You must hit the armor plate vertically to have the possibility of penetration."

The second lieutenant heard this, and immediately asked the soldiers to divide the K-type bombs on the two ammunition belts. There are a total of 24 soldiers here. Except for the two seriously wounded, each of the 22 people received more than 20 K-type bombs. .

"What should we do next? Shoot at the steel chariot?" The second lieutenant asked Qi Lin, but he didn't realize that he seemed to have completely obeyed the orders of this non-commissioned officer who was several ranks lower than him.

"We can't shoot rashly, it's just a waste of bullets, and it will be regarded as a sniper, attracting a new round of artillery fire." Qi Lin said, "We have to spread out, move along the trenches, and look for reasonable shooting opportunities. Every shot has to change the position... We don't have to kill the tank, ah no, I mean the crew in the steel tank, as long as we let them know that we have the ability to threaten them, they will I definitely don’t dare to be so unscrupulous anymore, and the speed of advancement will be greatly slowed down, and then just let the artillerymen clean them up!”
