An illiterate cannot be a tanker, or can only be a loader.
Now, the German tank is a standard five-man team.
There are three people in the turret, the gun commander, the commander and the loader.
The gun commander is responsible for operating the tank gun to fire, the commander is responsible for observing the surrounding situation, instructing the target, and at the same time calculating some shooting elements in advance, and the loader is responsible for carrying the shells.
The two in front are the driver on the left and the electromechanical on the right.
Now, as the commander of the car, Wittmann is quickly and effectively determining the shooting yuan, which is a very simple ratio conversion.
His big triangle can coincide with a two-meter-long triangle one kilometer away. Now, as long as he knows that the opposite is a T-26 tank, the width is 3.4 meters. According to the width of the opponent's tank, and his own triangle The proportional relationship can be converted into distance.
Yes, it is mental arithmetic. This is the knowledge that every commander and gunner must master, memorize the size of the enemy's tank, and at the same time know how to calculate it!
After a quick calculation, it was notified to the gunner. According to the instructions, the gunner pressed the button and the hydraulically driven turret turned an angle to adjust the gun elevation angle. Then, the gunner heard Wittmann's command.
"Fire!"
Fire! The gun commander's hand pressed the firing button, and after that, the entire tank made a violent roar.
boom!
At the muzzle, a ball of fire emerged, and in front of the fire ball, a blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile flew over!
Inside the turret, there was a choking smell of gunpowder smoke, and Wittmann shouted: "Start!"
start up! The tanker in front, after the launch, had completed the gear shift, and after Wittmann's command came, he slammed the accelerator.
The V12 diesel engine roared happily, driving the driving wheels, driving the crawler tracks, and began to move forward again!
Almost all of this was done in one go.
At this time, the 75mm armor-piercing projectile just flew to the opposite side!
The blunt head accurately hit the T-26's body and collided with the body, making a loud noise.
At this moment, Kochakin was shocked, Christoph was shocked, and the loader was shocked.
how can that be?
Now, the distance between the two sides is a full 1,500 meters. At this distance, the other side actually projected the cannonball accurately!
Soviet tankers, when shooting, almost always fired within 500 meters, so that the accuracy rate can be maintained above 50%. At a distance of one kilometer, the best shooter can only guarantee 10% of the hit rate, and now, the opponent actually hit him accurately at this distance?
Their surprise only lasted for a moment.
Then, the 15 mm thick armor was pierced forcibly, with countless flying slags and huge kinetic energy. The armor-piercing projectile with its head squashed came in at a speed of more than 500 meters per second. .
"boom!"
The ammunition inside the tank was instantly detonated under the high temperature of the impact! A huge flame and black gunpowder completely surrounded this tank. In the soaring smoke column, half of the turret was abruptly lifted up!
There can be no living! The battle of tanks is so cruel!
Just like in the battle song of the armored soldiers, if we are doomed, at least our faithful tank will give us a metal grave!
Wittmann's tank was roaring, and black smoke came out of the tail engine, and it rushed towards the Soviet tanks in front. For him, those Soviet tanks were his prey and the result of his battle!
Just now, when he saw the black smoke rising from the opponent's tank from the sight, there was a faint sense of pleasure in his heart.
"Order the 1st company, don't rush too fast, pay attention to the formation!" At the rear, Kurt, the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment, shouted the order.
Hearing his order, the electromechanical man in the command tank quickly turned the of his radio to adjust it to the company command frequency band, and shouted loudly: "1 company, 1 company, don't rush too much. Hurry up, keep the formation!"
The electromagnetic wave was transmitted silently. In the tank of the company commander of the 1st company, the electromechanical personnel received this signal and turned the radio in front of him from the receiving state to the transmitting state. In the internal frequency band of the 1st company, he shouted loudly: " 1 company, 1 company, pay attention to maintain the formation and don't rush too fast!"
After the call was completed, he quickly switched to the receiving state.
The radio waves continued to pass, and the electromechanical officer of Wittmann’s tank, receiving the news, shouted to Wittmann: "The company commander said we rushed too fast!"
"Reduce the speed and wait for our comrades in arms." Wittmann exclaimed, and then he was overjoyed: "800 meters ahead, at eleven o'clock, a BT-5!"
In the movies of later generations, you can see the pictures of these heroes, the tankers holding radios and shouting in public channels. In fact, this is simply impossible.
There are 1 armored regiment and hundreds of tanks. If everyone shouts together, there will only be one result. There are noises everywhere, and no one can hear it.
Therefore, in the use of tank radio, the calls in different workshops are on different channels, and the sending and receiving also need to be switched back and forth. In the battle, the communication between the vehicles is very frequent and the amount of information is very large.
In this case, the commander of the vehicle is a task that requires a high degree of concentration. It is impossible to operate the complicated radio station. Therefore, in the five-a-side tank, there are full-time correspondents to perform cumbersome tasks. Operated by the radio station, in the battle, according to the commander’s instructions, quickly send information, and receive and organize the information returned from the outside to convey to the commander concisely.
Of course, if tanks like the Soviet Union do not need electromechanical personnel, because they don't have a radio at all, they can rely on cavalry and pigeons to deliver.
Or ~EbookFREE.me~ show half of your body and use body language to direct.
For example, right now, the turret of the BT-5 tank inside the target is open, and the captain is showing the upper half of his body, shouting loudly.
Well, yes, courage is commendable!
"Boom!" Wittmann's tank opened fire for the second time.
In the sight, Wittmann held his breath to observe, the second result?
Damn it! It's flying!
The shells did not concentrate on the BT-5 tank, but flew over the top of the turret of this tank! Right in front of its trajectory is the tank commander!
In the sight of the sight, it was just a sudden thing, Wittmann saw the captain of the opponent, the upper half of his body, and the swish was gone! A 75mm armor-piercing projectile hits a person's body directly, and it is absolutely broken in an instant!
But the lower half of the body was intact. At this moment, he fell into the tank turret with blood.
