Steel Soviet Union

Tanks in high-speed charging state cannot fire on the move and suppress firepower at medium and long distances. They can only choose between advancement and precise fire. It is impossible to have the best of both worlds. Therefore, this is supposed to be the German counterattack. The best time for tank guns to fight.

However, the highly integrated operations of the various arms of the leadership division have overcome this weakness very well. The skillful application of various types of technical equipment is enough to make up for this annoying shortcoming.

The German anti-tank gun positions are no longer safe even when shooting the IS6s that are advancing at high speed, and the armored clusters mixed with BMP43s are no longer safe. Those who parked behind the IS6 to hold up the formation, raised a certain muzzle elevation angle, and took advantage of the curved and non-straight trajectory of the 152 grenade to provide direct artillery support, became the most terrifying nightmare of the German anti-tank guns and an invitation to death.

Boom——

Boom——

Boom boom boom——

One after another, 152mm grenades exploded and bloomed on the German anti-tank gun positions, ruthlessly destroying one anti-tank gun after another with cruel large-scale AOE damage, and one group after another was responsible. German anti-tank artillerymen manning them.

In the usual Red Army tank divisions, the lethality caused by the use of small guns such as the SU76 is insufficient, and the long-range accuracy is inherently poor. As a result, the effective kill rate is even lower, and it is difficult to kill a German anti-tank gun even with multiple shots. This situation does not exist at all with the support of the leader's powerful technical equipment foundation.

Every time the ISU152A fires its weapons, it is the death knell of a German gun on the road.

Even if the 152mm grenade, which has huge destructive power and explodes a large area, does not hit directly, even if it hits the geotechnical bunker of the German anti-tank gun position, or even thirty meters away behind the German anti-tank gun position, it still has no impact. The German anti-tank artillery had only a way to survive.

Being swept into a sieve by the splashing shrapnel that hits at high speed is already the greatest luck. Being torn apart by the flames of destruction, the flesh and blood are flying everywhere, and not even a whole person can be found. The unlucky person who can no longer see the slightest trace of human form is the most unlucky person in the world. tragedy.

"The attack is going well! We are approaching the final distance, and we are releasing the infantry to dismount and prepare to charge!"

The most direct and real-time feedback from the forward attack troops could be clearly heard from the radio, but Malashenko did not give an order, and the radio transmitter was still hanging on the iron stand at hand. Only Kurbalo Fu Na's follow-up order came from the radio channel.

"Continue to attack and break through the enemy's position! Move the self-propelled artillery positions forward to prepare for advance support, and the follow-up troops will follow up and rush upward! Send the reinforcements up, quickly!"

For Malashenko, there is no probing attack at all. This is a one-stop charge that must be successful no matter what.

The determined Malashenko threw in the absolute main force of Kulbalov's brigade in one breath. Before the forward attack force could break through the enemy's position, he put in follow-up reinforcements and rushed up.

Even if the forward attack force suffered resistance and certain losses, even if it forced its way in, the German positions would be torn apart. All this had already been determined when the initial combat plan was drawn up.

The first wave of troops that rushed forward quickly moved forward as a whole. The ISU152As who stayed at the back of the formation to support the formation also temporarily suspended fire projection, began to maneuver, and continued to advance to the next gun position ahead.

The empty edge of the highlands did not remain vacant for long. This scorched earth, already covered with craters and track marks, soon welcomed the second wave of steel guests, and the earth began to tremble again. That was where the Kurbalov Brigade followed Comrade Brigade Commander ordered to follow up the second wave of reinforcements.

"The infantry fighting vehicles charge to support, and the self-propelled artillery enters the gun position and prepares to fire! Hurry!"

Different from the previous wave of battering ram attacks with heavy tanks as the absolute main force, the structure of the second wave of reinforcements has obviously changed.

It is no longer mainly heavy tanks, but mainly infantry fighting vehicles, supplemented by a small number of heavy tanks.

As soon as they reached the top of the highland, they quickly spread out in the limited battlefield width, that is, the front of the highland peak, and quickly followed the traces of the comrades who had just passed by the first wave of attacks to expand the results of the battle and consolidate the German positions. More infantry reinforcements, much needed as the gap opened violently in both directions, soon arrived.

Boom boom boom——

Behind those BMP43 infantry combat vehicles that were advancing at high speed and heading towards the friendly armored groups to quickly reinforce them, the ISU152A self-propelled artillery groups that had already entered the gun positions and were in their respective positions were raising the elevation angle of the gun barrels and firing loudly.

The method of artillery bombardment is no longer direct-aimed artillery support, but changed to high-elevation angle artillery fire.

The roaring large-caliber grenades flew over the heads of the German troops and went straight into the depths of the positions behind them.

Among the German soldiers who were already in a state of panic, some people soon realized what the problem was. A strong shudder and terrible thoughts rushed straight to their foreheads and suddenly came out.

"Not shooting at us but at the rear of the position?! Are the Russians dividing the position into pieces under artillery fire? Do they want to eat us whole???"

The barrage of artillery fire divided and hindered retreat and reinforcements, and then completely swallowed up the entire position cut out by the artillery fire as quickly as possible.

This tactic sounds as bloody as cutting flesh. Thanks to the clever German commanders, they can realize it in time and think clearly. But in the end, it is just the last moment of awakening before death and destruction.

Knowing how you will die does not mean that you can defeat the fate of death. It is exactly the same as the state of a death row prisoner who is about to have his feet dangling on the gallows.

"Fire missiles! Fire quickly! Keep firing, fire them all!!!"

The Germans, who were almost suffocated by the powerful and overwhelming sense of oppression, had completely entered a state of madness and fought with all their strength.

The German commander in charge of commanding the anti-tank missile position roared and howled orders at the top of his lungs.

Those carefully camouflaged anti-tank missile launchers are extremely concealed and small in size, and are far less easy to detect and target than huge anti-tank guns.

One of the more funny things is that when you pull it close enough to launch, it is to ensure a satisfactory hit rate.

It sounds ridiculous, but it's true.

The German army, which operates these new anti-tank missiles code-named "Little Red Riding Hood", has actually already discovered the problem.

This control method is extremely anti-human. Anti-tank missiles that use visual tracking and manual command guidance are really difficult to use. The missile needs to be continuously controlled manually and corrected during its ultra-low-altitude flight. The entire process must be done with full concentration and without making the slightest mistake.

Even if the joystick in your hand makes a slight mistake and turns in the wrong direction for 0.5 seconds, the anti-tank missile flying at high speed against the ground will most likely plunge into the ground like a fool, causing people to curse in anger. Siesen"!

Moreover, the poor flight control surface is extremely ineffective and unresponsive, so this anti-tank missile must be roughly aimed in the direction of the enemy tank before launching. After launching, it cannot have too much direction error until it hits the target. Otherwise, the missile would not have time to correct its flight trajectory, and would most likely miss the target a few meters away.

Don't launch too far away, otherwise it will be difficult to control the flight trajectory. The longer the flight time, the easier it is to make mistakes and send the missile into the soil.

But it cannot be launched too close, otherwise the significance of anti-tank missiles as precision-guided weapons will be lost. You can even hit Panzerfaust and Tank Killer by firing close to the face, but why do you still want to use an anti-human anti-tank missile to make a fool of yourself?

Under the constraints of various restrictive factors, it is already the commander of the German missile squadron who can only make mid-range and short-range salvos until they are almost confident enough to hit the target without losing the significance of long-range precision guidance. optimal decision made.

Whether this decision can achieve meaningful results is a completely different matter.
