Chapter 925: 125mm Grenade Counterattack

Ineffective! The Americans' greatest hope, their anti-tank missiles, were unable to tear the front armor of the Soviet tanks! This shattered the Americans' last hope, and at the same time, the launch of these anti-tank missiles completely angered the East German People's Army on the opposite side.

"Grenades, fire, take out those anti-tank missiles!" Carl shouted loudly on the radio.

Grenade!

When the tank is moving, it never puts ammunition in the barrel. Only when the commander gives the order will the corresponding ammunition be put in. After all, when the target is unclear, it is impossible to determine the type of ammunition. For example, now, if you want to kill those anti-tank missiles, grenades are definitely more effective! Moreover, compared with armor-piercing shells, precise aiming is not necessary, and grenades do not need to be aimed at the approximate position. Just aim at the approximate position and shoot it, and the problem is solved!

On the turret ring, a circle of ammunition was rotating rapidly, and then a grenade was stuffed into the barrel by the automatic loader. According to the direction of the opponent's just firing, the gunner took aim and then pressed the button.

"Boom!" Amidst the huge explosion, a 125mm high-explosive grenade flew over!

In addition to the necessary guard tanks left along the way, the 21st Regiment now has more than 70 T-72 tanks. Now, these tanks are aiming at the anti-tank missile launching positions in front, almost two shells aiming at one target!

If it were night, it would be difficult to aim at a distance of two kilometers due to the limited range of infrared imaging night vision goggles. But now, the east has brightened, the sky has gradually improved, and the field of vision is wide. What can't be seen?

With the roar of death, the 125mm high-explosive grenade flew towards the launching positions of the anti-tank missiles!

At this time, the Americans were in a state of surprise. Why couldn't they penetrate the enemy's tanks? Why couldn't they penetrate the enemy's tanks? At this time, they saw the thick smoke flying out of the muzzles of the enemy's tanks, and then they saw the shells flying over!

Oh no, damn it, they reacted too quickly and fired shells at our side!

Although it was not as spectacular as when the 155mm grenade was launched, the 125mm grenade was enough to turn the entire position into a sea of ​​fire! Some American soldiers turned around and ran back in fear, while others lay on the ground, holding their heads and waiting for that moment to come.

At this time, the vehicle-mounted anti-tank missiles showed their advantages. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately started the car and reversed violently!

However, the shells came so hard, almost instantly!

"Boom!" A shell exploded two meters away from the anti-tank missile launch position. In an instant, the ground shook and countless shrapnel flew up!

The American soldier lying on the ground suddenly felt something hit his chest hard, as if his belly touched the water first when diving, or as if he was punched in the boxing ring. His throat felt hot, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

He has suffered serious internal injuries!

When a large-caliber howitzer shell is flying towards you, lying on the ground is the stupidest choice. However, running backwards is not a good idea either!

The flying shrapnel caught up with the American soldier who was running backwards quickly. In an instant, he felt a huge air wave hitting his back, and countless shrapnel hit his body in the air wave!

He staggered forward a step, then fell down, bleeding from his mouth, and his back slowly turned red.

A jeep carrying an anti-tank missile launcher was moving backwards quickly, and a shell hit it! In the huge explosion, the entire launcher turned into a burning fireball!

Of course, there were also lucky ones. Seeing that the situation was not good, several American soldiers immediately ran towards their own tanks and hid behind them. They listened to the bang bang sounds of shrapnel hitting the tank armor after the shells exploded. Fortunately, they themselves were unharmed!

The feeling of escaping death was not pleasant, and they could feel that their clothes were soaked.

Anti-tank missiles are not suitable for frontal use on the battlefield! Especially anti-tank missiles carried by individual soldiers, they are more suitable for ambushing where the enemy armored forces pass by, launching sneak attacks from the side, and running away after firing, and immediately moving positions!

Now, the two sides are on the front battlefield! Using anti-tank missiles face to face is quite dangerous for the shooter. Although anti-tank missiles have the advantage of distance, the general armor-piercing projectile has a range of more than 3,000 meters, but it can't withstand the bombardment of grenades!

The anti-tank missile unit suffered a devastating blow in an instant. Montel knew that he had no choice but to use tanks against tanks to solve the problem!

"Attention, load armor-piercing shells and prepare to destroy the Soviet tanks." Montel continued to issue combat orders.

Loading armor-piercing shells! Inside the tall M1 tank, the dark-skinned black loader stuffed the heavy armor-piercing shells into the barrel.

At this time, Western tanks did not use automatic loaders. The French Leclerc was the first tank to use an automatic loader, but it has not yet been successfully developed. Fortunately, Westerners are tall, especially in American tanks, where loaders are almost always black.

In later generations, although the M1 tank used the same 120mm smoothbore gun as Germany, the ammunition was completely produced by the Americans themselves. Moreover, the United States relied on its own technology to produce depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles, which had an armor-piercing capability that was one level higher than Germany's 120mm.

But now, the United States has hastily replaced its 120mm smoothbore guns, but has not had time to develop new depleted uranium shells. Just like depleted uranium armor, it is still in the process of development. American tanks are equipped with only ordinary DM33 armor-piercing shells, the same as those in Germany.

In fact, Rheinmetall began exploring the 120mm tank gun in the 1960s, and by 1974, this type of tank gun had already begun to take shape.

At the same time, the firepower of a tank gun is not only determined by the gun itself, but also has a lot to do with the ammunition it uses. This 44-caliber 120mm tank gun originally used the DM23 kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile based on the Israeli M111Hetz design, which is equipped with the Leopard 2.

The DM23 was subsequently replaced by the DM33 and began to be exported to many countries, including Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, etc.

Later, France and Germany jointly developed a further model DM43, which was even more powerful. At the same time, the United States also developed a unique kinetic energy projectile, the M829 series, which used a depleted uranium core. This armor-piercing projectile played a great role in the subsequent Gulf War.
