"Report the situation, Lavri! I can already see the battlefield, and I will get into combat distance immediately!"
The voice came from Malashenko, and Lavrinenko was very familiar with the voice of his good brother who lived with him day and night.
Waiting and waiting for the news of "I'm here" from Malashenko, Lavrinenko, who felt that hope was within reach, almost grabbed the radio transmitter next to him with trembling hands.
, speak loudly.
"The situation on the battlefield is critical, we can't hold on any longer! These German guys are all crazy! Come here quickly, Malashenko!"
Lavrinenko has never been so out of sorts, and he seems to have never heard such an irritable tone before, and has no impression at all, at least in Malashenko's impression.
From the radio, he could already feel the imminent crisis. Malashenko took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then spoke back to the microphone in his hand.
"It has arrived! The first batch of IS6 will enter the combat position immediately. They are the fastest main force! In addition, we are preparing to connect with the artillery to provide bombardment directions. Self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers are responsible for providing you with direct fire cover. Combat deployment has begun.
It’s ready in under a minute!”
The critical situation no longer allowed Malashenko to order the ISU-152 to be driven into the German guy's face, aiming directly to blast him.
No matter where exactly these 152 high-explosive bombs hit or how effective they are, Malashenko is already issuing orders with the mentality that even if he can disrupt the Germans' offensive formation, he will add trouble to these idiots.
Order.
A burst of 152 grenade fire can cause some trouble for the Germans no matter how hard it is. If you are lucky, it will hit the turret cover. Don't say you are a black panther or a tiger. Even if you are a fucking King Tiger, you will still be able to survive on the spot!
Having your head blown to pieces is the only possible outcome. The newly equipped ISU-152 self-propelled howitzer is fully capable of this.
Malashenko, who never stopped doing anything, not only prepared a battalion of ISU-152s to prepare for artillery bombardment, but also had the Katyusha self-propelled rocket launcher battalion with the heaviest firepower in the division also join this firepower feast.
A dense rain of rockets rained down. Even if you, the German, are the reincarnation of the God of War, you have to return to the west. Whether you are an infantryman or a tank, you have to go straight to the road. Malashenko, who has never been able to get the precise strike coordinates, is waiting.
Now.
Just as Malashenko said, the IS6 heavy tank echelon galloping through the snowy wilderness at high speed arrived at the fighting position in a short time, ready to join this brutal strangulation battle that was already turning intense.
At this moment, the Germans were still busy dealing with the Red Army medium tanks blocking their way, intending to form a breakthrough and open up the current battlefield stalemate.
The German army's reaction to this large group of black heavy tanks of the Red Army suddenly joining the battlefield was obviously caught off guard and unpredicted.
The Black Panthers at the front were even attracted to their attention and temporarily stopped charging. A large number of King Tigers behind them who were responsible for covering the formation also began to turn their turrets. The black super-long caliber main gun was firing.
Pointing quickly at the target that was already within range, the moment for the roar of artillery fire to start firing was imminent.
Lavrinenko had just been curious about the effect of using the 122mm main gun to attack the new heavy tanks of the Germans. Although Malashenko had given him advice, it was not that Lavrinenko doubted Malashenko.
If you don't believe it, you may not believe it. It's simply based on the basic principle that hearing is false and seeing is true.
Lavrinenko really wanted to see with his own eyes what effect the 122 gun, which had been indestructible against any German tank in previous battles, would have on these new monsters of the Germans.
Those German crappy cars look really strong! There’s no doubt about that.
But Lavrinenko still hopes more that Malashenko is wrong, even just once. The standard 122mm main gun equipped with heavy tanks is completely capable of dealing with these monsters. This of course refers to
Effective penetration of a large area does not require precise targeting of weak points or close range shooting as Malashenko said.
It may not sound like a big difference, and it can be beaten anyway, but Lavrinenko, who has extremely rich practical experience, knows that there is an absolutely essential difference between the two situations.
Just like now, at a distance of 700 to 800 meters, you ask the 122 main gun to accurately aim and shoot the front of the turret protected by the mantlet. Not to mention that ordinary gunners of the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division cannot do it.
Even Lavrinenko, who had been a gunner and commander on the T34 for a long time and was nicknamed "Sniper Eyes", would go into battle in person. To be honest, he was not sure.
After all, the tank's main gun is not a sniper rifle. Even if it is a high-caliber gun like the 122 Heirloom, which is considered a fairly accurate main gun in the Red Army, it is simply unrealistic for you to use it to do such high-precision work.
Not to mention anything else, whether it is Lavrinenko's temporary IS6 command vehicle or the other IS6 heavy tanks that have just arrived. These steel behemoths have just arrived after a long journey and motorized march.
, have not undergone any mechanical calibration of the main gun, and the accuracy after the bumpy and rapid march is no worse than the accuracy of the German 122 gun.
But even with so many objective factors and unknowns, and even unfavorable situations, the scene that Lavrinenko was looking forward to will still come soon, and as expected. IS6 heavy tanks with strong armor and sharp guns are coming.
After the car stopped, they quickly turned the turrets, locked the target, and fired the roar of the main guns almost at the same time as the King Tigers entrenched in the distance.
Boom boom boom——
The heavy armor duel between Chang 88 and 122 Heirloom began. The roar of huge artillery was accompanied by the violent muzzle flames and blast of wind, stirring the surrounding air and causing flying snow.
The Chang 88's main gun must indeed be the first to fire. This is the inevitable result of the favorable battlefield conditions where the German army waits for work and relies on static braking. In the World War II battlefield where neither side had a two-way stabilizer for the main gun, whoever stopped the car first began to stabilize the main gun.
If you aim the gun first, whoever is the father is the father. This is the absolute truth on the battlefield.
The first wave of armor-piercing shells that came at high speed with a scream of air-piercing sound hit the IS6's armor firmly. The German troops on the opposite side, who were quite confident in their new treasure, hardly thought that there was any other possibility of failure.
The bodies of these Russian tractors who had just arrived to die were scattered and scattered, and the ground was covered with debris. This was definitely the only fate.
It's a pity that the truth in Russia is not on the side of the invaders in many cases.
