Chapter 207： Cermet bullet

"Cyric, why aren't you sleeping?" The room is clean and tidy, which is the difference between women and no women.

Cyric was still looking at the map in thought, put on her pajamas, and Hannah, who washed herself fragrantly, shouted to Cyric.

"Okay, come here." Cyric said, and wanted to turn to bed, when he heard the voice of his guard Graf from outside: "General Cyric, the frontline emergency military situation."

"Okay, I'll come right away." After speaking, Cyric was about to go out.

Hannah got up from the bed, took up Cyric's military coat and put it on him: "It's cold at night."

Cyric turned around, hugged Hannah in his arms, and kissed deeply. He was very satisfied with such a wife.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon." After speaking, Cyric turned and walked out.

Behind her, Hannah looked concerned. She watched her man leave, full of concern.

"What's the matter?" Cyric asked when he arrived at the command post.

"Guderian sent a telegram." The chief of staff said: "They have successfully captured Fort Henares. Now, the infantry division sent by General Mora is heading to meet in the starry night."

Cyric nodded. He thought he had encountered some problems in this first battle! It seems that things are going well now.

What's the worry?

"After taking the local arsenal, they found an anti-tank gun that hadn't had time to be shipped to Madrid. This gun is powerful and can penetrate 50mm armor when using a special warhead."

Suddenly, Cyric felt that his eyelids were jumping, right?

Soviet anti-tank gun! Cyric is no stranger to this.

Historically, the 14.5 mm anti-tank gun of the Soviets was also famous. It was a pity that it had some effects in the early stage of World War II. In the later stage, the German Tiger, after the Tiger King came out, the individual anti-tank gun, no more Unable to penetrate the tank.

But now, our own tank is only 20 tons, and anti-tank guns can still pose some threats.

"Guderian sent two infantry fighting vehicles, intending to send this weapon to the base." The staff officer continued.

Cyric nodded: "Tell Guderian, don't worry about loss. Our current advantage is speed! One or two advanced anti-tank weapons will not change our results. What we need now is to verify us. The tactics are correct!"

Advanced tactics are the important factors that dominate the outcome of the war. In the early days of World War II, Germany's armored forces were actually not advanced.

When fighting against France, Germany only had tanks No. 1 and No. 2, and even squatted in the middle. It still defeated France. When it fought the Soviet Union, the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks equipped by Germany had no Soviet T. -34 advanced, still beat up the Soviet Union, hit Moscow within a few months.

Tactics are more important!

Guderian's armored division, in addition to the Panther 2, there are nearly half of the Panther 1 tanks, these 30-ton tanks can fully resist the blow of this anti-tank gun.

Don't worry about loss, fight, it is impossible not to die.

After receiving Cyric's telegram, Guderian was relieved. Cyric gave him a reassurance. Don't be afraid, continue fighting!

In the middle of the night, when the soldiers of the Northern Army arrived, Guderian did not wait until dawn, so he set off.

Their tactics are ahead of this era! Blitzkrieg is fast, relying on the mobile advantage of the armored corps, assault hundreds of kilometers a day! Hit the other side by surprise!

At noon the next day, this weapon was sent to the base of the Condor Corps.

"This is a ceramic bullet." After seeing the bullet in this box, Cyric immediately told the origin.

Historically, the PTRR-39 developed by the Soviets was only an ordinary armor-piercing projectile, and until PTRS-41, there was a ceramic armor-piercing projectile. This special 14.5mm cermet armor-piercing projectile can penetrate 50mm armor plates at a distance of 100 meters. .

Therefore, this power is sufficient to penetrate the main armor of the German No. 4 tank at the time within 100 meters and the 30 mm thick side armor and engine of the No. 4 tank at 300 meters. The power is very strong.

However, this advantage was only a flash in the pan. When it was discovered that even anti-tank guns could hit its own tank, the German tank soldiers immediately began to reinforce it, adding additional armor to the outside of the No. 4 tank, and the newly manufactured tank , Also thickened the armor, for example, the front armor increased to 80 mm, and the side armor exceeded 50 mm, which made this anti-tank gun ineffective.

"This kind of bullet is a certain threat to us, but it is only temporary." Cyric tried to recall everything in history.

Cyric’s crossing is constantly changing history. Now, this Soviet anti-tank gun is a living example.

However, many cannot be changed, such as the industrial base of the Soviets!

"Moreover This gun has a complicated manufacturing process and a very low output, and this kind of bullet is even more difficult to manufacture." Cyric said: "So, it is very likely that we seized these this time. It’s all the support from the Soviet Union."

Don't worry, the output of these weapons will not be much!

"In our country, we have never thought of using ceramics to make warheads." Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen said from the side: "These bullets can be sent back to our personnel for research."

Hearing this, Cyric also had an idea: "Yes, let our personnel study, not only how to make armor-piercing bullets, but also how to make hard armor."

Ceramic armor is no stranger to later generations. This is the main secret of Chobham armor and a research direction of composite armor in other countries. It can be said that in addition to depleted uranium armor, this type of armor is advanced.

It is impossible to make a sample with just one sample. Otherwise, the Challenger 2 imported from the UK will be disassembled and can be copied by itself. The most important thing is the craftsmanship and the processing process.

Now, everything starts from scratch. Maybe by the end of World War II, there will be no mature products. However, this is after all an idea and a research direction!

"Our base is immediately ready to continue the relocation." Cyric said: "We must support our first armored division and fight this battle well."

There is a prerequisite for tank troops to charge quickly without scruples, that is, they must seize air supremacy! With the lightning attack of the tank troops, the aviation in the rear must also keep up!

Therefore, the residence of the Vulture Legion will be relocated to Fort Henares, and from there, it can radiate to the entire eastern part of Spain!

"General, General Jose of the Central Army is here." Outside, Graf walked in and said.
