The modified MG42, which has been completely rested and can no longer be used, cannot be thrown away casually. Yegorovich has a special liking for this weapon that he personally modified, and he is like a lover when he uses it smoothly.
He threw the "seriously injured" MG42 behind him, grabbed the gun belt and carried it on his back. Yegorovich, who was half-crouching on the tank's engine hatch, saw the opportunity, leaped forward, and jumped out of the vehicle.
Like an arrow from a string, he spread his long legs and ran straight towards the IS6 heavy tank that had been spotted.
"Hey, hey! Yegorovich, where are you going? Watch out for bullets and come back quickly!"
Ordinary people can't run around on the battlefield with a heavy machine gun on their back. This is not an anti-Japanese drama with bullets drawn and no protagonist. But the young squad leader's loud greetings and shouts from behind still call out.
Without returning to Yegorovich's running footsteps, his left hand was already injured and half-stained with blood. Yegorovich was still running at a high speed as if he hadn't heard.
Although the firepower on the battlefield is intensive, it can rarely target one person alone in a very short period of time.
In short, this competition is about who is better, your foot speed or the enemy's reaction speed.
Fortunately, Yegorovich, who is taller than Malashenko, really has a pair of unparalleled long legs, and the straight-line distance he can cover with one step is farther than the average person.
In addition, Yegorovich was an infantry major and a veteran with a strong physical ability, so running around with weapons was not a problem for him.
At a distance of less than a hundred meters, Yegorovich rushed to reach it at half the speed of an ordinary person. After arriving behind the IS6 heavy tank, he raised his head and looked at the rear end of the turret and the
The first thing Yegorovich did when he was sitting on the roof of the car was to rush up with a big kick without taking a break to catch his breath.
The people inside the tank were unaware of Yegorovich's presence. The noisy battlefield sounds and roaring diesel engines blocked everything. But this was not important to Yegorovich at the moment, because he did not need the people in the tank.
If his comrades cooperate with him, he can accomplish everything he wants to do on his own.
The shape of this IS6 heavy tank is very special. Even its appearance is very different from other IS6 heavy tanks. It is enough for people who meet it for the first time to remember it at a glance. However, Yegorovich, who belongs to the infantry regiment, does not
I just know whose car this is.
Yegorovich risked being killed and climbed onto this IS6 heavy tank for only one purpose: he took a fancy to the unique twin-mounted heavy machine gun on the top of the turret of this powerful heavy tank.
Machine gun model?
I don't know. Looking at it from a distance, Yegorovich just felt that he had never seen this thing before, and it seemed that it was not the standard equipment of the Red Army.
It was only after he actually climbed onto the engine compartment cover at the rear end of the turret of the IS6 heavy tank that Yegorovich had the opportunity to get up close and personal. Only then did he realize that this thing, which was indeed quite large in size, was actually a twin 12.7mm tank.
mm Deska anti-aircraft heavy machine gun! It also comes with a machine gun shield that can cover almost no blind spots in front of the shooter.
As a veteran gunner, Iushkin drooled when he first saw the IS4, just like a madman who saw his dream lover, the goddess of destiny.
At this very moment, Yegorovich's eyes were already shining, and he looked at the big treasure in front of him with wide eyes and a similar expression.
It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand the love that veterans who have experienced many battles have for powerful new weapons, but let me tell you, this is really no better than the feeling of a girl you have been secretly in love with for ten years, and suddenly one day takes the initiative to confess to you.
How much difference.
Yegorovich had no extra time to carefully appreciate the industrial masterpiece in front of him, a violent war machine that could be called a dream lover.
Is the thing useful?
You won’t know until you try it yourself.
A chain of orange-yellow 12.7 mm large-caliber bullets connected one round after another connected the gun body's ammunition supply port and the magazine box. Yegorovich's breathing became a little cramped, his heart rate accelerated, and his adrenaline surged. When he saw this
How can I endure this situation in the future?
Without saying a word, he grabbed the big treasure in front of him, which was placed backwards and leaning against the sky. Just relying on his skillful experience and accurate intuition, he found the latch used to control the direction of the machine gun on the side of the firing device.
button.
The moment the button was pressed, the big baby that had been fixed to death immediately started to move, as if a soul had been injected into it.
The ring-shaped machine gun mount built by Karamov himself gives this twin heavy machine gun the maximum possible range of movement. Not only the commander can get out of the running tower and control the shooting when necessary, but also the commander can shoot when necessary.
, other soldiers and operators can also control it directly outside the vehicle at the rear of the turret.
Of course, this idea is not original to Karamov, but was first adopted by Malashenko during the Battle of Stalingrad. He temporarily modified the heavy tanks in hand at the time and received good feedback from actual combat. The roof heavy tank can be operated by outsiders.
The machine gun does indeed provide great battlefield flexibility. It no longer has to be rigidly operated by the tank crew and adopts a fixed gun mount.
After that, similar designs were preserved and used until Karamov, the mechanical master of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, finally upgraded it to a ring-shaped machine gun mount on the turret top, completing the final shape.
Now, Yegorovich, who can enjoy it with his own hands, is just a beneficiary of this outstanding design that was born in advance.
With the help of movable ball bearings and gun frame latches that can be fixed at any time, this twin-mounted 12.7mm Deshka heavy machine gun with a machine gun shield appears to be so flexible in the hands of the already extremely powerful Yegorovich
, transcendent and ordinary.
If I had to describe it, it would be basically the same as the feeling of ordinary infantry using Bobosha.
With the experience and lesson just now, Yegorovich, who knew that the Germans would definitely shoot him again, became much smarter. He perfectly used the wide machine gun shield to cover up the only half of his upper body that was exposed.
.
If the German sniper can shoot through the less than three centimeter gap between the machine gun shield and the turret dome at a distance of at least 500 meters.
Then it can indeed hurt the current Yegorovich.
But if he couldn't, or if he fired a shot and exposed his position but missed, it was already foreseeable what kind of revenge he would encounter from Yegorovich, a tough man who was determined to retaliate.
Dong dong dong dong——
The roaring sound of the twin-mounted 12.7 mm Deshka heavy machine gun firing is enough to overwhelm all other light weapons. The red tracer barrage, which is full of destructive power, is packed with instant burning indicator bombs, conventional bombs, and armor-piercing bullets to form a mixed chain of ammunition and sweep across the whip direction.
Target, hot cartridge shells were sprayed out one after another, splashing like a heavy rain on the snow-covered turret dome.
This huge roaring sound not only became the absolute protagonist of small weapons in the surroundings, but even the commander Kirill, who was directly under the machine gun and under the tight protection of the turret armor, could clearly hear it.
"Comrade Commander! Our roof-mounted machine gun is firing, and someone is manipulating our gun outside!"
