Steel Soviet Union

Even the leading division has almost never encountered this kind of thing like IS7 fighting a tiger on the Eastern Front battlefield before.

Because the King Tiger was finalized and put into production earlier, the Tiger production was stopped too early and the total output was lower. The German army on the Eastern Front had almost consumed all the IS7s on the front before the leader division was equipped and put into the battlefield in batches. A Tiger tank in combat-ready condition.

Quite a few Tigers that were returned to the factory for overhaul later became various variant vehicles. For example, the No. 6 anti-tank missile destroyer, a weird monster carrying four "huge telegraph poles", never had the chance to be used in a serious way. The turret tank style returns to the battlefield.

The Tigers on the front line have basically been used up, and there are not many repaired Tigers that can be sent to the rear. As for the new heavy tanks that are newly produced and delivered to the front line, they are all King Tigers.

This situation led to the fact that by the time the IS7 of the leader division appeared on the battlefield in large numbers, the Tiger had become a "yesterday's flower" that had been beaten violently by IS6 in various ways before, and was swept into the garbage heap of history.

But I never expected that "IS7 vs. Tiger" would happen in the far East, during the battle with the Japanese, and it would be a copycat Tiger, which is somewhat ridiculous.

On the other hand, the IS7 record book, which has hunted all the main tanks and anti-tank destroyers of the German army in the later period, does still lack something like the Tiger to make up the "full collection achievement".

Now that such a good thing and an opportunity has come, there is no reason for the elite tank soldiers under Navarrosha to let it go.

Boom——

The powerful and heavy 130mm full-caliber armor-piercing projectile blasted out from the huge muzzle brake, aiming straight at a tank-sized target no more than 500 meters away.

For tanks during World War II, the distance of 500 meters was already a very close tank-to-tank combat distance.

The vast majority of the main tanks with the technical level of World War II are confident of achieving a hit rate of more than 90% in the first launch at this distance, let alone the IS7, which combines all the top tank craftsmanship and technology of the Soviet Union.

Bang——

The 130 mm armor-piercing projectile that hit the first hit directly hit the upper part of the Tiger's body. Without any suspense, it tore open the 102 mm thick homogeneous steel armor on the spot, which could almost fit a child's head. Big hole.

The projectile that tore through the armor and shattered the wind cap was able to continue penetrating deep into the tank with its remaining inertial potential energy.

The first person to be hit was the Japanese tank driver.

Half of this unlucky guy's head was directly blocked in the forward trajectory of the projectile and served as a target.

The only result of this was that it had no time to react, let alone dodge. Half of its face and half of its head were smashed open like a watermelon by the impact of projectiles that even 102mm armor could not withstand. Flowers and bloody red and white things were splashed all over the dashboard and surrounding bulkheads.

But before this scene happened, the faster-moving armor-piercing projectiles had already beaten the Japanese gunner and commander behind the driver, who were also blocking the ballistic path, into meat paste.

The Japanese gunner and commander, who were beaten in two at the waist and whose upper and lower bodies were instantly separated, had no time to react, to notice the pain, to scream in pain, and even their broken bodies had not fallen to the floor. .

The projectile under the action of the armor-piercing delay fuse detonated instantly, exploding into a ball of bright flames in the rear half of the car body near the power cabin.

The ammunition and fuel were exploded together by the warhead charge of the 130mm projectile, just in the blink of an eye.

The Japanese copycat tiger, with all hatches completely closed in combat mode, instantly entered an internal overpressure and explosion state.

The huge blasting impact pressure pushed the turret, which weighed nearly 20 tons, straight away. A "Japanese-style manned space flight" came. The turret equipped with the short 88 main gun shot straight into the sky like a rocket, spraying blazing flames.

The turret that flew into the air reached at least a height of nearly 20 meters before accelerating back to the ground under the influence of the earth's gravity.

The distorted gun barrel, with the muzzle brake blown away, was inserted directly into the soil at an angle, and the broken turret stood upside down on the northeastern ground. It looked like some kind of street sign, which was blackened and charred. The few remaining remains of Japanese soldiers inside were roasted to medium-rare.

The turret and all three fighting room members were flown into the sky by a local aircraft. The condition of the remaining car body and chassis was not much better.

Because it was instantly killed in a fully enclosed combat state, the huge implosion impact pressure not only blew off the turret, but also almost exploded the body and chassis of the Japanese replica tiger into pieces.

Torsion bars, road wheels, armor fragments, and various other debris parts were thrown into the sky in a high-temperature form. By the time the explosion shock wave dissipated, it was already raining metal garbage all over the sky.

The 700-horsepower imitation gasoline engine was also blown out of the power cabin, spewing fire and smoke like a meteor falling from the sky, drawing a dazzling parabola.

After flying a full distance of more than 100 meters, it hit a passing Japanese soldier heavily on the head, smashing him and his body into a Japanese-style teppanyaki grill on the spot. .

There is no trace of a Tiger tank at the center of the explosion, nor any trace of the Japanese army's struggle here.

Only a huge explosion crater with many wreckage parts inside remained in place. Judging from the size, it was at least as big as the crater caused by a 250kg aerial bomb.

Combined with the recent explosion, the flames shot straight into the sky, and even the turret was blown away 20 meters high.

Who knows how much ammunition and oil the Japanese devils stuffed into their mobile coffin-board vehicles before they could make such a horrifying explosion? Even the 56-ton Tiger is not only big but also has good protection. Even a uniform thing can explode into such a miserable state, with no body left intact.

"Done! Next, load armor-piercing shells! The Tiger at 1 o'clock is 550 meters away, gunner, prepare!"

After the first hit, the IS7 did not stop and continued to load armor-piercing bullets to prepare for the next shot.

At the same time, the rest of the IS7s that were charging into the battle also came up, and even the IS6 heavy tanks, which were more numerous and the backbone of the main force, also entered the shooting position, firing the black main gun muzzles together. Pointing at the Japanese Tigers who were still doing useless work and beating the Red Army's heavy tanks until they clanked.

"Ivan, why do you think the Japanese want to imitate Nazi industrial waste? Even IS6 can't beat this kind of junk."

"I don't know, but it would be best if you beat it into scrap metal as soon as possible. I can guarantee it."

"Well, I'd love to tell my daughter how I hunted these old-fashioned German crap. She'd love to hear it."
