Chapter 577: This is not fair

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
At dawn, the British offensive was completely in trouble. The firepower on the German position completely made Tobrook's original British armor power desperate. A Matilda tank burned in the yellow sand, so lonely and lonely.
The Germans have many secret weapons, such as the new jet fighter being developed, the super weapon long-range surface-to-surface missile being tested, and the more advanced Tiger King main battle tank. The predecessors of these weapons have already given their opponents a headache. One can imagine how these advanced future weapons will bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire battlefield once in service.
However, there are many more stupid methods in the German army. These methods fill the entire battlefield with the wisdom of the grassroots soldiers, and also give the entire German tactical system a more flexible and changeable special style.
For example, a simple multi-barrel rocket launcher with multiple iron fist rockets lined up and mounted on wheels, called a building demolisher by soldiers. For example, the 88mm caliber cannon is roaring on the position.
On the battlefield in the future, if you want to find a weapon, like the 88mm caliber cannon of Germany in World War II, it is suitable for all ages and the three armed forces. This weapon also conquers all German commanders with its own excellent performance. Won the favor of the first-line infantry.
This artillery was installed on naval destroyers and submarines and used as air defense firepower. Even this type of air defense weapon is installed on the aircraft carrier. It can be said that this caliber cannon is basically the standard air defense weapon of the German Navy.
At the same time, this artillery was deployed by the Air Force Air Defense Forces in every corner of the German occupation area. As for the number of such artillery, it seems that even Catherine himself does not know the specific number, but from the beginning of the war, it has been accumulated and used in large numbers. Germany has at least tens of thousands of such artillery. You can count on each important The port and airport saw this artillery figure.
It is also a weapon favored by the Army. The tank gun of the Tiger tank is modified from this anti-aircraft cannon, and the caliber is exactly the same, all of which are 88 mm. And this cannon is also used by front-line soldiers for anti-tank, and the effect is equally astonishing.
What is even more surprising is that this kind of cannon produced on the Krupp artillery production line has another function worth remembering that it can support the shooting of infantry, and the power is not small.
Rommel likes this kind of artillery best because it gives him an unparalleled firepower advantage. He used to strengthen his infantry on the frontal line of defense with this weapon originally belonging to the Air Force, and then pulled out more valuable armored forces to carry out flanking roundabout operations. This is his signature method, so that his opponent is undefeated. The core of this play is that your infantry can withstand the frontal impact of the opponent's armored forces. Rommel's tactics are almost to give pressure to these 88 mm caliber cannons.
One after another, the shells were pushed by the soldiers into the cannon's bay, and then the artillery was fired immediately, firing a deadly shell. The skilled German air defense artillery team can use this cannon to shoot every minute. Amazing rate of fire.
The most classic German 88mm caliber anti-aircraft artillery launching site is a shallow pit with traffic trenches on both sides of nearly one meter. As long as there is time, the soldiers will dig such a classic shallow pit, and then deploy this anti-aircraft cannon inside. As a result, the artillery only exposed a height of less than one meter above the horizon, making it more difficult to find.
In fact, the phenomenon of transpiration in the desert is very serious, and the targets close to the surface cannot be seen because of the smog and the transpiration heat. In this way, the launch position of the German 88mm anti-aircraft artillery can not be found at all. This has become the most popular of all enemy soldiers. Depressing thing.
In the end, both sides can only compete with the aiming observation system. Whoever finds that the other party is far away and has a faster aiming speed, who can survive the desert competition. The aiming system has always been the proudest competition of the German army. The mirror design of Les is No one can challenge at this time. The aiming rangefinder on the battleship is as small as the sight of the sniper. The Germans are much more accurate than the enemy in the same period.
Speaking of the speed and accuracy of capturing the target, and the rate of fire after the start of the attack, how can the standard of tanks on the ground compare with the air defense artillery designed for attacking aircraft? The 88mm cannon was originally designed to attack enemy aircraft at an altitude of 26,000 feet. Fighting a tank 1,000 meters away is definitely a big deal. It is not a fair contest at all.
Of course, this artillery is not without its shortcomings. It can be said that the shortcomings are as impressive as its unparalleled powerful performance. The 88mm caliber artillery, which was selected as an air defense weapon by the Germans, weighed staggeringly. It weighed almost as much as the 150mm caliber howitzer equipped with German standard support weapons. It actually reached a terrible 5 tons. Therefore, compared with other German weapons, this weapon is obviously too bloated. Except under desperate circumstances, there are also North Africa battlefields with relatively convenient transportation conditions. It is rarely used on the front line battlefields.
Another disadvantage is that the artillery itself, including shells, is expensive. If there is a weapon in the German army that uses the same "gold coin bomb", then this weapon is undoubtedly an 88 mm caliber cannon. Under the same circumstances, the price of firing an 88mm cannon is twice as expensive as the Soviet 76mm caliber antiaircraft gun ... Of course, the benefit in exchange for this is the geometrical increase in power.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" On the German core defensive position, nine anti-tank positions arranged in three V-shaped positions, the soldiers of the Air Force Air Defense Force used their artillery to shoot a bolt-like rifle. The rate of fire is coming. The British armored mixed brigade, who was here on the opposite side, proved the terrible opponent with its own losses.
A German officer was standing next to the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and he was standing there. He did n’t seem to be afraid that the opposite side swept the bullets. He put down the telescope in his hand, and then transferred the two sergeants who used scissor periscope The muzzle, the command to attack the opponent's left wing: "Focus fire to the right! Break down the tank there first!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With his orders, three artillery guns quickly turned their muzzles, which was staggeringly fast. The heavy gun body gave this cannon a stable launch platform, and the demand for air firing made this artillery's turning and lifting very fast. With the repeated passwords, these artillery also pointed at the same time. The corresponding location.
The heavy shells flew to the target at a distance of one kilometer in just over a second, with a terrifying impact and penetration energy, it can easily tear the front armor plate of the Matilda tank, and even destroy the entire After the cockpit, you can also destroy the engine and fuel tank behind.
This scene is a bit like the feeling of a high-speed car hitting a wooden fence. At this moment, the sturdy tank is as fragile as the wooden fence, and the sturdy armor plate is broken like a wooden board by the huge energy.
Soon, a British tank was destroyed during the advance, the track was broken due to violent shock, and the driving wheels in front were all flew out. Because the fuel tank was broken down, the tank ignited in a flash, and the turret of the tank was lifted from the inside, but only two hands were seen twisting and struggling, only two seconds passed. The pain suffered by the master with both hands was ended, because the ammunition was exploded, and the huge explosion blasted the entire tank into a pile of scrap iron. The British who were struggling inside could no longer be found.
"Boom!" Another shell flew from the barrel of the 88 cannon, but this time it seemed that the luck was on the British side. The shell flew over a distance of 1500 meters in an instant, but did not hit the main part of the tank. The shell hit the front side of the tank, hit the sandbag and shovel hanging on it, smashed the headlights of the tank, and hit the sand dunes next to the tank, splashing a gravel.
The British in this tank were obviously terrified. They thought their tank was hit because the loud noise and the vibrations from the tank were so amazing that these British tank drivers opened His hatch, quickly jumped out of the tank and ran to the side, but then the driver of the tank was overturned by the German machine gunner, and the captain and the gunner had to raise their hands to surrender.
This time the British offensive was defeated within a few minutes, leaving the wreckage of more than 40 tanks on the battlefield. Most of the tanks have been turned into burning scrap iron due to the explosion, and only a few lucky ones did not die.
There was also an almost intact tank captured, the guy whose headlights were shot. It was not until the prisoners were interrogated that the tank captain, who had not been hit by luck and escaped, was actually the commander of the British Armored Brigade and a senior officer of the rank of colonel.
The German did not treat the British captive badly and asked him to have a breakfast. He took a loaf of bread and looked at the 88mm cannon that was cleaning the cannon. He did not believe that this was the opponent who beat his troops to find the teeth Its unassuming weapon.
However, when he knew that this weapon was a German anti-aircraft gun that could penetrate the front armor plate of a Matilda tank at a distance of 1500 meters, he remained silent for a long time. His armored brigade lost almost half of its troops in this battle. More importantly, the British did not recapture the high ground. The terrible artillery bombardment will continue in the future.
"It's not fair." In the end he said, "How can you Germans use weapons against aircraft to deal with tanks?"
