Wegener, Wittmann's gun commander, was firing at a Soviet tank, and his gun was aimed at a moving T-26 tank, which was a very easy target to destroy.

Such tanks are very fast, so when they move quickly, it is difficult to be hit by large-caliber guns.

Of course, this is difficult to relative, most of the time the T-26 tanks are directly facing the German tanks, so their speed advantage should not affect the German aiming too much.

Firing in this terrain, the Germans also had no good choice. After all, they were a little hasty, and they couldn't find a terrain that suited them to start a battle.

"Damn it! There are too many of them! While reversing, Duke, who was in charge of driving the tank, complained loudly.

While they were complaining, the Soviet tanks spread out more on the flanks - about 50 tanks of various models were spread out on the front, and it looked very spectacular.

This may have been the largest tank battle between the two sides since the beginning of the Soviet-German war. The Soviet Union did not have T-34 tanks before, so the overall strength could not catch up with this time.

With the addition of the T-34 tank, this tank battle is destined to become very tragic. As soon as the two sides began to fight, they entered the most intense climax.

Keeping as far distance as possible from the enemy was the code of engagement for German tanks. Using their artillery superiority to destroy their opponents with armor and artillery is the favorite thing for the German armored soldiers.

The sky was filled with tiny raindrops, and the rain crackled on the cold tank armor.

The Leopard's slightly square turret slowly rotated in the rain, aiming its thick 88 mm cannon at a distant target.

"Boom!" A puff of white smoke erupted, and the cannonballs rushed like lightning towards distant targets.

And here, the smoke from the muzzle of the gun, which was supposed to gradually dissipate, was dispersed by the rain and soon disappeared without a trace.

Wittman's crew had fired five shells, three hits and two misses.

After all, this is on a rainy day, and it is a hit on the march of the opponent's tank, which is already very good.

However, the reserve ammunition of the Leopard tank was not very large, because the volume inside the tank was really not abundant.

This rhythm was consumed, and German tanks would soon be drowned in a torrent of steel from Soviet tanks.

"Steady! Wegener! You are the best! Increase your hit rate! Hold out for another hour and our reinforcements will arrive! Wittman pressed the throat intercom and shouted to Wegener.

Wegener was depressed, after all, in normal weather, his accuracy was one of the best in the army.

Obviously, he didn't want to lose face at such a time, and calmly used his sight to lock on to a T-34 tank again.

The other side has stopped and is ready to fire, obviously at this distance, the Soviet tank crew also dares to make a bold attempt to challenge the armor of the Leopard tank with its own artillery.

Inside the scope, the T-34 tank spewed a puff of white smoke, apparently having fired, and Wegener did not hesitate to press the firing switch.

The recoil of the gun made the entire Leopard tank tremble, and the gun inside the body shrank sharply backwards before being pulled back into its original position.

Everyone knew that another shell had been fired, but it was not known if it had hit a distant target accurately.

Only Commander Wegener's scope could see this accurately, and the shell did hit the T-34 tank, but did not penetrate the T-34's armor.

Because of the angle, the inclined armor of the T-34 tank deflected off the shell, leaving Wegener depressed.

He had no choice but to loudly order the loader Homan to continue to reload one shell, so that the opponent's tank could attack again before it moved.

Homan did not hesitate, and after hearing Wegener's order, he immediately drew an armor-piercing shell from his side and stuffed it into the chamber of the cannon.

Wegener, who was controlling the artillery, did not hesitate, and directly pressed the fire switch and fired a new shell.

This time he made some minor adjustments, so the shell changed places and crashed into the Soviet T-34 tank in the distance.

The shell, still without deviation, hit the T-34 tank in the rain. This time the shell was not ricocheted, but pierced the front armor of this T-34 tank.

It is not that armor-piercing shells can penetrate at a certain distance, and they will definitely be able to penetrate the enemy's armor, this is a matter of luck, and it cannot be forced.

For example, if the angle of the enemy tank is slightly off, it may cause the shell to ricochet off.

At the same time, breakdown experiments are given in a theoretical situation, and in real combat conditions, there are a lot of different results.

For example, some soldiers will stack sandbags or hoist logs directly in front of the tank to increase the defense of their tank.

To take the simplest example - in real historical time and space, the Stalin-2 tank's artillery penetration data and its own tank armor thickness data are stronger than those of the Tiger tank, but its performance in actual combat is very average.

In real combat, the German Tiger defeated the Stalin 2 tank more than once, which is completely contrary to the conclusions of the data on paper.

On the one hand, it is because of the high technical and tactical level of the German tank ace, and on the other hand, it is also due to the fact that the Soviet army attaches great importance to test data and ignores other details.

For example, because the armor of the Stalin 2 tank is cast, the quality of the casting in wartime is not high, resulting in a large number of bubbles in the armor, so the actual level of protection does not meet the drawing standards.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the armor of the T-34 tank cannot be penetrated at a distance that can be penetrated, after all, the level of protection of the T-34 at this distance still has a certain ability to resist hits.

What's more, in fact, the T-34 tank has a very fatal flaw, which was not completely remedied until the end of World War II.

The driver's hatch of the T-34 tank, as well as the viewing window, as well as the course machine gun, were integrated into the upper armor plate of the tank's bow. This opening is much larger than the opening of the Leopard tank's course, machine gun.

On such an armor plate, two holes, one large and one small, were opened, which seriously affected the strength of armor protection.

So the Germans found a trick, as long as they aimed at the hatch and fired, they could achieve an easier breakdown.

The cannon of the Wittmann crew just now also hit the edge of this hatch, tearing open the armor of the T-34 tank at once, killing the members inside.

There was no fire and explosion, and in the rain, the T-34 tank did not move again, just stopped there and let the rain beat.
