The Third Reich

"High explosive filling, No. 1 charge." Each Carl cannon is organized into a company. At this time, beside the No. 2 gun Ewa, the commander is meticulously commanding.

In history, this type of gun has only one type of ammunition, the concrete armor-piercing bullet, which can penetrate a layer of concrete up to 2.5 meters thick, and is specifically designed to hit enemy fortifications.

But now, this kind of gun has been improved, and it also has the task of launching high-explosive shells, and the ballistics are even better. At the end of the shell, it fell directly from the sky, falling vertically, and hiding behind any bunkers. use.

Following his orders, a loading car next to him began to get busy.

The shell of this gun weighs two tons, so ordinary loading methods are simply ineffective. In order to cooperate with this gun, Rheinland has also specially designed an ammunition carrier with the Panther 2 tank chassis. This truck is equipped with a mechanical boom and a special shell transport clip, which can directly replenish the mortar shells on the battlefield.

Now, with the command of the company commander, the mechanical boom slowly transported the two-ton warhead to the tail of the gun. After it was accurately aligned, the bullet was pushed into the chamber with a special push rod. All of this was hydraulically assisted. , Very easy.

According to the difference in firing range, they use two kinds of propellant. Charge No. 1 has a short firing range. Now, they don't need a particularly long range.

During the entire loading process, the gun body was always level, and when the loading was completed, it began to erect.

Go hard, come on!

The two gunners on both sides turned the crank quickly to shake the gun body!

This gun body weighs more than ten tons, but it depends on the strength of two people's arms!

Yes, when designing, because the power of the hydraulic system is not enough, the result is that the erection of the gun body requires manual means! It may also be that this system is inherited from an ordinary howitzer, that is, it needs to manually shake the height and direction machine.

As long as you give me a fulcrum, I can lift the earth and reduce the strength requirements through mechanical schemes. It is completely possible, but this is a price in distance.

From now on, it is that the gunners on both sides have shaken dozens of times, and the gun body has only raised a small angle!

Turning the crank handle of a 105mm or 155mm howitzer under fierce field conditions is already very hard, let alone a super cannon!

Even the strongest gunner, each pitching action of the gun body takes 4 to 6 minutes. Therefore, the standard gun rate of fire stated in the code of operation of this mortar is 6 rounds per hour. Even if one round is fired every ten minutes, this should also take into account the factor of manual cranking.

Because, not only do you have to shake it up, you also need to flatten it every time you fill it up! This is definitely the most cheating job!

Gunners have long been accustomed to it. German guns have always had this characteristic. For example, Tiger tanks are also very slow to swing the turret. However, another advantage is that they are high in accuracy and can be rotated to a certain angle. .

At three minutes and fifty seconds, the gunner slowed down, and then stopped: "The angle is correct."

Just crank the high and low machine. In terms of direction, only one angle can be fine-tuned. The large-angle steering is performed by the chassis. The rotation of the two crawlers can change the entire gun body to a large angle. From this point of view, it also It can be said to be a self-propelled artillery.

"Fire!"

"boom!"

Normal cannons have long barrels. The longer the barrel, the more work the gunpowder does, and the faster the outgoing shells, the farther they can hit.

However, the mortar gun went the other way. Its barrel is less than twice the diameter of the muzzle. The utilization rate of gunpowder is very low. It is a smoothbore with a large firing angle, low initial velocity, and high arc trajectory. artillery.

Although the range is short, the projectiles are powerful and are mainly used to destroy fortifications. (Cannon without conscience can be regarded as such a cannon.)

Now, after firing, the 2-ton warhead was only accelerated to a speed of 245 meters per second, and the naked eye could keep up with its advancement.

In the black smoke, the warhead drew a graceful curve and flew towards the Soviet soldier who rushed over.

Due to the low speed, the sound it made when it rubbed against the air became even lower. The Soviet soldier couldn't help but raised his head and watched a giant appear in the sky.

Then, the thing flew over their heads, as if it had exhausted all the energy, and fell directly from the sky!

Yes, it just fell vertically! This kind of trajectory is quite strange. The warhead that fell from the sky shows more and more of its own hugeness, and the faces of the Soviet soldiers have expressions of horror.

No one is not afraid of death, especially in front of the enemy's secret weapons.

The whine of the warhead fell, as if screaming of death, these attacking Soviet soldiers stopped their steps and looked for a place to hide.

There was chaos all around. Among them, the captain of the T-34 tank also opened the lid of his head and looked into the sky.

Getting bigger and bigger, his tank was shrouded in black shadow almost instantly.

When he understood what was going on, the captain only had time to shout: "Quick, speed up and drive forward!"

Just now, the infantry outside was chaotic, and the tankers dared not move, for fear that they would crush the infantry. In the coordination of the infantry, this is quite a terrible thing. Press your infantry under your track. , The psychological pressure of tankers is great.

And now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can't care about anything, hurry up!

Hearing his order, the driver in front stepped on the accelerator, but unfortunately, the tank had just moved half the length of the body, and the huge bomb on it fell onto the turret unevenly!

How does it feel to be hit by a two-ton cannonball? If this tank can speak, it will yell.

"Boom!" As a high-explosive bomb, it will explode immediately after it hits the ground, but now, it hit the turret first, and then the explosion occurred, although it was only less than a second apart, this iron made a dozen The turret of tons, at this moment, was flattened!

Yes, it's just smashed! The two-ton cannonball, falling from the sky and accelerating to a speed of several hundred meters per second, has enormous energy!

The entire tank also moved toward the ground following the collision. The coil springs on the road wheels broke because they couldn't bear the huge pressure, and the crawler tracks were forced to press dozens of centimeters downward!

At the moment of the impact, the people inside the tank were bleeding from the violent collision, and the captain at the top was directly crushed into meatloaf!
