Chapter 387: Not Penetrated!

After pushing open the armor of the warhead, the core of the 40-type tungsten core armor-piercing projectile was inserted straight into the gun shield. From a distance, it looked like a toy dart used for relaxation and entertainment stuck in the target, which was particularly ironic.

Compared with Lavrinenko who was sitting in the car and was calm and composed, it was understandable that the German gunner who witnessed this terrible scene in his own gun mirror was not so calm.

"What the hell is this Russian tank made of? Why can't it be penetrated without ricochets? This is simply a monster!"

Compared to the KV85 heavy tank vehicle commanded by Malashenko, which also uses the KV1 heavy tank chassis welded body with additional homogeneous steel armor on the upper and lower front to strengthen the defense configuration, the Lavrinenko vehicle with a square and wide internal space turret does not have an excellent ricochet defense appearance, but its strong armor physical thickness defense is still unquestionable.

Although the original KV220 prototype heavy tank was not actually put into production and the improvement plan was completely denied, the strength of this excellent Soviet prototype heavy tank is real and cannot be denied.

The solid turret frontal defense armor, let alone the long-barreled Type 3 and short-barreled Type 4 tanks in 1941, even the extended-barreled Type 4 tank that was barely unveiled in early 1942, was not enough to pose a serious threat to the frontal armor of the KV220.

Strictly speaking, in this completely different history that was subjectively rewritten by Malashenko, the KV220, which was born early, had an absolutely unmatched advantage in 1941. The KV220 equipped with an 85mm D-5T tank gun was enough to match the German Tiger tank, which had not yet been born, in various data performance indicators including firepower.

If the final design was not enough to meet the Soviet army's large-scale mass production requirements, the KV220, which was developed much earlier than the subsequent Stalin series heavy tanks, would have been enough to reverse the armored confrontation situation that was unfavorable to the Soviet army in 1942.

Of course, there is no if in history, and this cruel point is exactly the same for the German army, which can't do anything to Lavrinenko's car at the moment.

In the commander's periscope in his hand, he also saw the fierce armored behemoth on the opposite side was completely immune to his own attack. Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who was clenching his teeth and could hardly say a word, was really mixed with mixed feelings.

"Damn Ivan! Why can they always come up with such a good tank!? The tanks of inferior nations are several times better than what we have. We should really drag those idiots in the Imperial Propaganda Department to the battlefield and ask them face to face what this is!?"

The manic howling in his heart could not change the current unfavorable situation.

Knowing that the various tanks in his hands could not cause any substantial damage to the enemy Soviet's monster-like heavy tanks, Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who was well aware of this extremely unfavorable situation for his side, was still unwilling to give up.

"Continue the attack! This time, aim at the junction of their turret and the body, just like the previous attack on the T34! I don't believe that these Russian tanks really have no weaknesses, this is impossible!"

Under the forced order of Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who still did not give up, the loader bent down and picked up another 40-type tungsten core armor-piercing shell and raised his hand again to instantly stuff it into the breech.

In the process, the German gunner, who had already calibrated the black muzzle of the gun with Lavrinenko's car, once again pulled the trigger in his hand, and the 40-type tungsten core armor-piercing shell that was instantly ejected from the barrel came with a sharp whistle and hit the turret of Lavrinenko's car, which was still standing still, accurately hitting the position near the junction of the body.

Ding-bang--

The deafening sound of armor collision echoed in the barely spacious interior of the vehicle. Lavrinenko, who had already expected that the Germans would never give up, seemed unhurried. His extreme confidence in the armor of his vehicle allowed him to ignore the attack of the German tanks.

"Hmph, these Germans never know the meaning of giving up! Maxim, tell those Germans that they are standing on the land of the Soviet Union, not in front of the capital of those cowardly Frenchmen!"

"That's right, comrade commander, that's what I was going to say."

Clang--

Boom--

The blazing muzzle flames, wrapped in a scorching storm, instantly blew the snow in front of the vehicle into the air and dispersed it completely. The BR-365 hooded armor-piercing projectile, flying at high speed along a straight trajectory, almost hit back along the exact same German trajectory.

Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who had anticipated the opponent's counterattack, had considered the worst-case scenario and the possibility that this armor-piercing shell would not penetrate the monster-like Soviet heavy tank on the opposite side. Therefore, he ordered Nestor, who had just taken over the driving task, to act immediately after firing the gun.

"Quick! Reverse, Nestor! Now!"

Frightened by the murderous look of Lieutenant Colonel Walter, he almost didn't have the courage to answer. Nestor, who kept his lips tightly shut, could only answer Lieutenant Colonel Walter with his actual actions.

With a slightly stiff and unskilled movement, he immediately switched the blood-stained gear lever to reverse gear. With both hands tightly holding the joystick, Nestor instantly pulled the No. 3 tank, which was originally stationary, into motion.

The Panzer III tank, with a total combat weight of just over 20 tons, is at least far more maneuverable than the KV1, which weighs 47 tons. The diesel engine operating at high speed drives the transmission mechanism and transmits power to the vehicle body guide wheels. Started to retreat quickly.

The steel non-slip tracks in winter rolled up like a meat grinder, rolling up large pieces of frozen soil and condensation snow. The hooded armor-piercing projectiles came at high speed with a high-speed scream, almost wiping out against the commander's command tower. The dazzling Mars passed by, and the correct decision made by Lieutenant Colonel Walter in just a few seconds once again saved the lives of everyone in the vehicle.

Ding-ding——

call out--

The slight shaking of the vehicle body and the extremely harsh friction noise of the shells contacting the armor shocked all the crew members. From countless previous battles, they deeply realized that once one's own tank was penetrated through the armor, it was almost certain to die. The heart almost felt. The gunner, who was about to jump out of his throat, was the first to scream.

"Oh, damn! We're hit, we're hit by the damn Russians, Walter! Abandon the tank now, the tank is going to explode! Hurry!"

Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who was already in an extremely bad mood, frowned even more after hearing this, and extremely dissatisfied words mixed with a strong smell of gunpowder poured out from between his teeth.
