But the difference with the Tiger tank is that the back of the turret is filled with the head of the King Tiger ready for ammunition. After the ammunition is detonated, there is no way to leave a complete corpse like the Tiger tank.
The first ready-to-fire ammunition rack filled with custom-loaded 88mm artillery shells exploded with such strong power that it exploded the entire back of the King Tiger's turret in an instant.
It doesn't matter if it's hard to understand what such a scene looks like.
To describe it in a more down-to-earth and easy-to-understand way, after a micro bomb is stuffed into a person's head and activated, the scene of the brain blossoming is basically similar to the current Tiger King who died when the ammunition exploded.
Consistent, just like what is shown in the movie.
King Tiger, whose entire top of the turret had a huge gap blown out, was completely stunned. Even the small hatch at the end of the turret, which was often used to supply artillery shells, was under the strong impact of the explosive ammunition.
, was directly thrown away, just like a child discarding a toy that he no longer likes to play with, it flew straight away and disappeared without a trace.
What finally fell from a height of several meters in mid-air was King Tiger's head that had been completely exploded and couldn't bear to look at it.
The dark breech block and the inner structure of the turret were covered with scorch marks as if they were fried. There was no trace of human presence in the turret that originally housed three people, not even a rag and a piece of turret.
No scraps of flesh or limbs could be found.
Who knows what happened to these flesh-and-blood things under such a violent explosion.
All that is left is the steel crematorium transformed from the headless behemoth car body, which is ejecting flames and black smoke like a volcanic eruption, constantly burning anything contained in it.
Show no mercy.
More than one German tank was killed by one shot in a similar tragic death. There were as many as six German King Tigers that were killed in the first round of firing.
You know, the number of King Tigers that were mobilized to support the battlefield was only eight in total.
This is not to say that the Viking Division, as the elite division of the SS, only has so many King Tigers, but when fighting on two fronts, there are only so many King Tigers that can be mobilized.
In the first round of beatings, Mao Zi gathered fire and killed more than half of them, six in total. For this group of SS armored soldiers who still relied on the King Tiger as the backbone of the anti-armor force, this was definitely a devastating blow.
A huge blow like an earth.
"Damn it! Our King Tiger, the Russians killed six King Tigers in the first wave!"
"Are Henschel and the others idiots? How can they guarantee this!? This is the absolute defense that can withstand any tank of the Russians!?"
"Shut up! If you're going to complain, turn off the radio! Load up and keep fighting! Let's fight the Russians!"
The cost of losing six King Tigers was almost too high for this wave of SS armored forces to bear, but it was far from enough to make the Viking division, which had an extremely tenacious fighting will, give up its struggle.
Malashenko, who clearly saw this scene through the commander's periscope in his hand, was naturally very excited. Kulbalov did not embarrass himself! The first wave of fire directly diverted the German's beam, and the remaining
The two King Tigers will not be able to carry them for long. It is estimated that they will soon follow the footsteps of the King Tigers who died tragically and then hit the road.
As for the Viking Division, it has still shown its tenacious fighting will to fight to the end and refuse to surrender. This is not beyond the expectations of Comrade Ma.
From the beginning, Malashenko approached this battle with the attitude of beating these SS scum to death and killing them all.
If the enemy loses control and surrenders midway, that's a good thing. We don't have to take off our pants and fart to waste time on troublesome things later.
It would have been even easier if the Germans had not surrendered. Malashenko did not mind if Pravda added a sentence to his war deeds: "The 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division, led by the heroic Major General Commander Comrade Malashenko
, the description of "annihilating the enemy's elite SS Viking Panzer Division".
The more ferocious and cruel the enemy is, the more Malashenko wants to completely destroy and conquer it. The violent gene flowing in his body is almost boiling at this moment.
"Kurbalov, I am leading the team to cut into the battlefield from the left wing, and I will soon stab the German in the belly! Do you see the specific positions of the remaining two King Tigers?"
What Malashenko cares about is not that these SS scum still have two King Tigers left. At this point, two powerful heavy tanks are no longer enough to save these German thugs. What Malashenko really cares about is those two tanks.
It looks like a special one among the King Tigers.
"I saw it, Comrade Commander! I know what you mean, I've been watching it!"
Obviously, Kulbalov, who also fought from 1941 to the present, instantly understood what Malashenko meant. One of the two King Tigers was indeed different.
"There is a star antenna on the butt of the car, the iconic feature of a German command car! You want me to kill it, don't you, comrade division commander?"
Before he could give the order, Kulbalov already answered. Malashenko, who was a little surprised, just held the radio transmitter in his hand and grinned.
"Act according to the situation. The tactical command of your regiment is in your hands. Don't force yourself to be aggressive! Prioritize the losses of the troops before making a decision!"
There was no time to talk unnecessary nonsense on the battlefield. Malashenko just reminded Kulbalov of the necessary words for the last time, and left all the rest to Kulbalov himself.
Moreover, Malashenko, who has long been familiar with the life style of his general, is convinced that Kulbalov can make the best choice for the situation he faces according to his own wishes and orders, giving himself a sense of satisfaction.
's answer sheet.
That is to say, at the moment when Malashenko was on the phone with Kulbalov, inside the special command-type King Tiger tank that the two men were talking about, the SS commander with the rank of First Class Assault Group Captain,
The same thing happened with the throat microphone, so I was very busy.
"Change the formation! Panther 2 and the assault cannon go up. The remaining No. 4 and Panther 1 retreat back to avoid the main firepower of the Russians to ensure survival. Hurry!"
Wendell, who was screaming at the top of his lungs, was still a little shocked and had not yet fully recovered. He really did not expect that the unfavorable speed of the change in the battle situation would be so fast beyond his imagination.
A company of King Tiger heavy tanks that he personally led was wiped out by the Russians as soon as they came up. Only two of them were left, including his command vehicle, which must not be lost. In other words, it can be used to face the Russians head-on.
