Chapter 673 Tungsten Alloy Armor Piercing Projectile

Just now, they moved their positions once, but now, they have no time, and the opponent is already very close. If they move again, they will be caught up by the opponent before they can shoot again.

At this time, they only have to fight, fight!

Can't wear it? Then keep playing!

At the same time as they opened fire, other firepower on the front also began to shoot. Except for the terrifying KV-1 tank, the rest of the tanks were not to be feared.

Even Finnish soldiers with anti-tank guns were able to hit the BT-5 to smoke immediately.

At this time, the KV-1 tank did not stop to fire, and it would obviously waste time to move forward slowly.

At this time, the KV-1 tank, the engine at the rear was emitting black smoke, and it was constantly moving forward.

Roll over! The line of defense is all in one direction. As long as he can rush over and reach the back of the line of defense, these soldiers guarding the line will have to flee. They don't even need to fire a gun. They can beat the Finns to lose their helmets just by shooting with machine guns. Abandon armor!

"Boom!" The 50mm anti-tank gun continued to fire. Now, they have fired five shells, and the opposite tank has also rushed to a distance of 100 meters!

This cannonball flew towards the opposite side again, but unfortunately, just like before, it still couldn't penetrate the opponent's armor!

That huge monster-like tank is rumbling towards them! At this time, in the tank, Mirokov and others are already confident.

Their tanks are the most powerful and nothing can penetrate their armor!

According to the information at the time of training, the thickness of the frontal armor of their tanks is as high as 130 mm! This thickness is definitely more than the German tanks, so they are not afraid of being penetrated at all, because in this era, anti-tank weapons that can penetrate them simply do not exist!

Finns, show you the strength of the Soviet army!

The tank, rumbled forward, had just received five shots, but the opponent's target was quite high, but unfortunately, it was impossible to beat!

The driver even aimed over there and drove over, killing the opponent's anti-tank gun position first!

Use your own tracks to crush them all!

Here, Patty Buddha gritted his teeth and shouted: "Load, keep loading!"

There is only one shot left. If this shot cannot be penetrated, it can only be loaded with an anti-tank grenade! Damn, how thick is this Soviet tank?

You must know that this anti-tank gun of your own can penetrate a 78mm thick vertical steel plate 500 meters away. Could it be that the thickness of the opponent's armor exceeds 100mm?

"Yes!" The loader replied while picking up the last shell in the ammo box.

On their side, there are a total of two ammunition boxes, and there are six shells in each ammunition box. Now, there is only the last one left in this ammunition box.

When the loader picked it up, it was obvious that the shell was heavier than the previous ones. What happened?

Just as he quickly stuffed the cannonball into the barrel, his eyes saw the color of the bullet, which was much brighter than the steel armor-piercing bullet just now!

"Fire!" At this moment, the opposite tank had already moved to a distance of fifty meters, and this was the last one! The ammo in the other ammo box is no longer used!

If this one can't penetrate...

Pattyvor's thinking stopped here. He watched helplessly as the cannonball he fired accurately hit the nearby Soviet tank, and he could even see the opponent's gun mantlet. Several deep pits on the car body were left by the shooting just now.

And this time, the projectile with their expectations flew towards the target at high speed, and hit the armor heavily. Then, the warhead slammed forward and drilled forward. Suddenly, the front of the head loosened.

It's been drilled!

The warhead got in, and just rubbed against the turret armor, forming a high temperature. At this time, Mirokov in the turret seemed to smell the burning smell.

A thin molten metal splashed down with the armor-piercing projectile. When it splashed on the gunner, the gunner made a terrifying sound.

His pain didn't last long. The warhead that got in just hit the ammunition behind them. Then, there was a violent explosion!

"Boom!" The 76mm artillery shell sent out a violent explosion, high temperature and high pressure gas, and instantly stirred up a piece of flesh and blood in the entire turret. There was no complete human body in it anymore, and all became charred. Existing like mincemeat.

The high-pressure gas drilled into the seat ring of the turret, where the seal was not tight, and then the gas began to vent.

From the outside, you can see that with a loud noise, hot flames and black smoke came out from the seat of the turret. With the explosion, the turret was lifted half a meter high, and then fell heavily.

Inside, there can be no more living people!

Destroyed, finally destroyed!

Petiver suddenly remembered something and shouted excitedly: "To deal with this kind of tank, we can use our tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets!"

It's not because the distance is close that the opponent penetrates the opponent. The opponent's tank and armor are quite thick! How thick is it? Definitely over a hundred millimeters!

Therefore, steel armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate the opponent, even at zero distance!

Fortunately, in their ammunition, in addition to steel armor-piercing bullets, there is another type, that is, tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets!

In the initial trial production, this 50mm anti-tank gun, when using tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles, has a speed of nearly 1200 meters per second, an effective range of 2700 meters, and can penetrate a 120 mm vertical steel plate at a distance of 500 meters!

Therefore, tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles are a way to significantly and effectively improve armor-piercing ability!

In later generations, armor-piercing bullets are almost dominated by tungsten alloys, and better than it, only depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets are left.

Armor-piercing projectiles are hard to hit. The higher the strength, the better. The hardness of tungsten alloy is the highest.

However, this armor-piercing projectile is not equipped in large numbers, because tungsten alloy is too expensive!

If it was the case in history, Germany would not have the luxury to use tungsten alloy to make artillery shells, which is simply a waste of money. But now, with the secret mining of tungsten mines in Austria, Germany can now mine 400,000 tons of ore per year and produce 1,800 tons of commercial metal tungsten.

Therefore, German tank guns also began to be equipped with a certain proportion of tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles.

Of course, if it was to support Finland, it should not have supported tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles. However, these projectiles were not shipped from the factory, but were eliminated from Germany's own equipment sequence.

When Germany was equipping it, one of the six shells in an ammunition box was a tungsten alloy warhead! Experienced gunners cherish tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets and use them only when necessary!
