Steel Soviet Union

Without any retaliation, he was hit by another equally ferocious armor-piercing round. Fortunately, this shot hit the left face of Malashenko's car. The thick and solid armor withstood it like a copper wall. It eliminated all injuries and completely protected every crew member in the turret, including Malashenko.

Although there is not even a scratch on the skin, this does not mean that this cutting-edge IS6 heavy tank is absolutely invincible.

Suppose that 88mm full-caliber capped armor-piercing projectile hits the right side of the gun mantlet armor because the gunner's sight is installed, so enough space must be reserved to lay out a complete set of high-magnification optical sighting systems. , even if it is only such a seemingly insignificant small area.

The physical thickness of the gun mantlet protective armor of only 150 mm is not enough to withstand the direct bombardment of the Long 88 at such a close range. The best result is that one shot penetrates the armor and kills the people in the turret.

In a worse case scenario, the projectile-ready ammunition rack at the end of the turret may even be detonated on the spot, turning the steel behemoth weighing more than fifty tons into a blazing coffin of fire.

In other words, all three crew members in the turret, including Malashenko, will die instantly due to the explosion of ammunition, leaving no trace behind! The ammunition racks for projectiles that cover the entire rear end of the turret are enough to completely erase all traces of the physical presence on this planet.

Malashenko, who was well aware of the weight of his vehicle's armor protection and its biggest weakness, could tell the approximate hit point of the armor-piercing projectile from where the sound of non-penetration came from, and couldn't help but suddenly trembled. Two eyebrows.

The feeling of being too close to death always makes people feel uncomfortable and not good. Malashenko hates this feeling very much, so he must completely obliterate and eradicate everything that brings him this feeling.

"At my twelve o'clock direction, five hundred meters away! The Germans have deployed a new anti-tank gun behind the position. Kill it immediately! Fire!"

It was while Malashenko was speaking that the already swinging scales of victory began to tilt and tremble violently in the direction of the German army again.

boom--

Boom boom boom——

A series of dull, rough and powerful gunshots exploded on the position where the artillery fire was flying. I guessed that since the Germans had a new guy to show up, there must be more than one Malashenko who had his worst idea confirmed.

German armor-piercing bullets came one after another from at least three different directions. After losing its disguise, Chang 88 finally revealed its true appearance and began to reveal its ferocious fangs.

The extremely fast-loading custom-made 88mm capped armor-piercing projectiles were quickly stuffed into the breech of the gun under the operation of these loaders of the Guardsmen Division, who were advertised as pure Aryans, so that they could be discharged towards the approaching enemy. And out.

The IS2 heavy tanks, which are the absolute backbone of the main force, have naturally become the targets of concentrated fire. These PAK43 anti-tank guns, which are placed further back in the position because they are too expensive, rely on their ultra-long effective range. After the roar of the first wave of artillery fire, most of the targeted targets were destroyed.

The sound of continuous ammunition explosions kept ringing in his ears. Malashenko, who was holding the commander's periscope in front of him and staring at the target, still looked determined, as if he was deaf to all the sounds coming from his ears, and then Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and raised the wireless transmitter in his hand and spoke loudly.

"Lavery! Are you okay!? It's your turn! Those German guys are sitting on my head and shitting!"

Generally speaking, in previous battles, there was always Lavrinenko as his deputy, accompanying Malashenko's brigade command vehicle to attack the enemy.

But this time, Malashenko was only accompanied by a few IS2 heavy tanks directly under the brigade headquarters, as well as the battalion-level command vehicle of the commander of the 1st tank battalion, Kulbalov, Lavrinenko and his IS6 The heavy tanks were completely missing, disappearing into the first wave of charging echelons.

When Malashenko blurted out a loud voice while holding a radio transmitter for technical communication, Lavrinenko, who was also holding a transmitter on the other end, immediately responded.

"It took a little more time, but we have arrived! Pay attention to cover us, be careful of artillery fire, and fire immediately!"

The troops led by Lavrinenko, who was belatedly arriving behind the charge echelon and commanding his own car, were none other than the troops that had suffered some irreparable losses in the previous battles, but had not yet been injured. There are still 14 SU152 self-propelled howitzers surviving in the available self-propelled howitzer battalion.

"Comrades, the SU152 is not designed for us to fight positional defense! Although it is also qualified for this job, you must be more clear! Offense is the time when it can best exert its tyrannical power and frighten the enemy! "

Malashenko did not go to the self-propelled howitzer battalion many times, and he left even fewer speeches and instructions. Most of the time, Lavrinenko, who was also listed as the battalion commander, was responsible for more specific things, but this was the only sentence: " "Equipment introduction" has become the most talked about words in the self-propelled howitzer battalion.

Now, it is time to verify whether what Malashenko said is true.

Thanks to the cover and firepower of the Stalin heavy tanks rushing at the front, the SU152, which was moving slowly and was located at the rear of the large force, did not attract much attention. Those German anti-tank guns still insisted on attacking first and posing the greatest threat. Based on the principle of target, they continued to fire fiercely at the Sturm Stalin heavy tanks that were almost riding on their faces.

The German anti-tank gun crew, which had been successfully led by Malashenko to attract attention, lost their last chance to redeem themselves. The SU152 self-propelled howitzers, which only took rough aim without hitting the target, immediately followed the deputy brigade commander. Lavrinenko, who was also the battalion commander, gave the order and decisively opened fire.

"Fire! Blast those Fascist lackeys to pieces!"

Boom boom boom——

If the sound of the Chang 88 when it fires is like the roar of a tiger, then the sound of the 152 Divine Cult's roar is like the Nirvana of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

With the majestic momentum that just sounds enough to conquer the Chang 88 on the spot, the ferocious roar, the 152mm full-caliber high-explosive projectile that is so big that it can only be loaded in the troop's marching cauldron, immediately brought the weapon that was comparable to a train. The terrifying whistle was like a whistle, and it rushed towards the German position not far away at high speed.

The 152 grenades, which were so close that they did not need to be fired at high angles, but fired directly, immediately hit their respective targets. The sound of violent explosions, which were almost continuous, was simply the death knell of the Nazi fascists!
