Red Soviet Union

invalid! The greatest hope of the Americans, their anti-tank missiles can't tear the front armor of Soviet tanks! This shattered the last hope of the Americans, and at the same time, the launch of these anti-tank missiles completely angered the East German People's Army on the opposite side.

Grenade, launch, kill those anti-tank missiles! Karl shouted over the radio.

Grenade!

When the tank is marching, it never stuffs ammunition in the barrel. Only when the command of the commander comes down, will the corresponding ammunition be stuffed. After all, when the target is not clear, it is impossible to determine the type of ammunition. For example, now, If you want to kill those anti-tank missiles, the grenade will definitely come more happily! Moreover, compared with armor-piercing projectiles, it is necessary to aim precisely, and grenades are not needed. Just aim at the approximate position, and one shot will solve the problem!

On the turret seat, a circle of ammunition was rotating rapidly. Then, a grenade was stuffed into the barrel by the automatic loader. According to the position when the opponent fired just now, the gunner took aim, followed, and pressed the button. button.

Boom! Amidst the loud explosion, a 125mm high-explosive grenade flew over!

In addition to the necessary guard tanks left along the way, the 21st Regiment now has more than 70 T-72 tanks. Now, these tanks are aimed at the anti-tank missile launch positions in front, almost two shells are aimed at a goal!

If it is nighttime, because the infrared imaging night vision device has a limited range, it is very difficult to aim at a distance of two kilometers. But now, the east is already bright, the sky has gradually improved, and the field of vision is wide. Is there anything I can’t see?

With the roar of death, the 125mm high-explosive grenade flew towards the launch positions of those anti-tank missiles!

At this time, the Americans are in surprise, why can't they penetrate? Why can't it break through? At this moment, they saw the thick smoke flying from the muzzle of the opponent's tank, and then, they saw those shells flying!

No, damn it, they reacted too fast and fired shells at their side!

Although it is not as spectacular as when the 155mm grenade is launched, the 125mm grenade is enough to turn the entire position into a sea of ​​flames! Some American soldiers turned around and ran back in horror, while others lay on the ground, holding their heads and waiting for that moment to come.

At this time, the anti-tank missiles on the car showed their advantages. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately started the car and fell backwards!

However, the shells came very violently, almost instantly!

Boom! A shell exploded two meters away from the launch site of the anti-tank missile. In an instant, the ground shook, and countless shrapnel flew up!

The American soldier lying on the ground felt his chest in an instant, as if he had been slapped hard by something, as if his belly first touched the surface of the water when he was diving, or as if he was in a boxing ring He was punched, his throat felt hot, and with a wow, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He has suffered serious internal injuries!

When the shells of the large-caliber howitzer fly, lying on the ground is the stupidest choice, but running backwards is not a good way!

The flying shrapnel caught up with the American soldier who was running backwards quickly. In an instant, he felt a huge wave of air rushing towards his back. Countless shrapnel hit him in the air wave. into his body!

He staggered a step forward, then fell down, bleeding from his mouth, and his back slowly turned all red.

A jeep, with anti-tank missile launchers on it, was backing away quickly, a shell, and it just hit it! In the huge explosion, the entire launch vehicle turned into a burning fireball!

Of course, there was also luck. Seeing that the situation was not good, a few American soldiers immediately ran in the direction of their own tanks, hid behind the tanks, and listened to the sound of the shells hitting the armor of the tanks after the shells exploded. Fortunately, they themselves were unscathed!

The feeling of narrow escape,

It's not good, they feel that their clothes are already soaked.

Anti-tank missiles are not suitable for frontal use on the battlefield! Especially the anti-tank missiles carried by individual soldiers are more suitable for ambush at the position where the opponent's armored troops pass by, and carry out sneak attacks from the side, and, after hitting, run away and immediately change positions!

Now, the two sides are on the frontal battlefield! Using anti-tank missiles face-to-face is quite dangerous for the shooter. Although anti-tank missiles have an advantage in distance, the distance of two kilometers for ordinary armor-piercing projectiles is already against the sky, while anti-tank missiles can easily reach more than three thousand meters. The range, however, cannot withstand the bombardment with grenades!

The anti-tank missile force suffered a devastating blow in an instant, and Montel knew that his side had no choice! It must be solved tank to tank!

Attention, load armor-piercing shells and prepare to destroy the Soviet tanks. Montel continued to issue combat orders.

Load the armor-piercing rounds! Inside the tall m1 tank, a dark-skinned black loader stuffed heavy armor-piercing shells into the barrel.

At this time, Western tanks did not use automatic loading machines. The French Leclerc was the first tank to use automatic loading machines, but it has not yet been successfully developed. Fortunately, Westerners are already tall, especially in American tanks, the loaders are almost always filled by blacks.

In later generations, although the m1 tank used the same 120mm smoothbore gun as Germany, the ammunition was completely produced by the Americans themselves. Moreover, the United States relied on its own technology to produce depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets that had better armor-piercing capabilities than Germany. The 120mm takes it up a notch.

But now, the United States has hastily replaced the 120mm smoothbore gun, and the shells still have not had time to develop new depleted uranium bombs. Just like the depleted uranium armor, they are still difficult to produce. American tanks are equipped with ordinary dm33 armor-piercing bombs like Germany. .

In fact, Rheinmetall has been exploring the 120mm tank gun since 1960, and until 1974, this kind of tank gun has already begun to take shape.

At the same time, the firepower of a tank gun is not only determined by the gun itself, but also has a lot to do with the ammunition it uses. The 120mm tank gun with 44 times the caliber originally used the dm23 kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile based on the Israeli m111hetz design. This armor-piercing projectile is equipped with Leopard 2.

Then dm23 was replaced by dm33, and at the same time began to export to many countries, including Japan, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland in history.

After that, the dm43, a further model jointly developed by France and Germany, was even more powerful. At the same time, the United States has also developed a unique kinetic energy bomb, the m829 series using a depleted uranium core, and this armor-piercing bomb made great contributions in the Gulf War in later generations.
