There are not many German troops remaining on the position like the surface of the moon, and even fewer can be said to have combat effectiveness.
The sparse machine gun firepower could not organize an effective firepower network at all. It was as leaky as a sieve. The maximum caliber of the few anti-tank guns was only 75 mm. Such firepower is quite difficult to deal with today's Soviet medium tank troops.
, facing a heavy tank force composed of all IS6 and its improved sub-models, it is natural to imagine how much capability the German army has left on the position.
"Damn it! It didn't work! We couldn't penetrate the Russian monster at all! It bounced away again!"
"Don't tell me it doesn't work! Keep firing! Load armor-piercing rounds, quickly!"
"Aimed!"
"fire!"
boom--
The blazing shells rushed out from the muzzle brake and roared towards the roaring steel monsters.
The German anti-tank gun team on the position was hoping for a miracle, hoping that a shell would penetrate the armor of those Russian monsters and cause damage to them.
This is not only a matter of causing actual damage, but also a kind of spiritual encouragement and will stimulation.
The German army urgently needs a miracle to continue this desperate battle with no hope.
But the truth is often extremely cruel. The hopes and miracles that people pray for when they are desperate often only lead to ruthless reality.
Ding-ding——
crackling——
call out--
The noises hitting the armor plates are different, but in the final analysis, they are all the sounds of ricochet and failure to penetrate, and even the sound of being stuck in the armor plate cannot achieve a semi-penetration effect.
Malashenko, who was sitting in the car and sticking to his post as commander, could not even feel the strong impact, nor did he feel the strong tinnitus in his ears, as if there was only a mosquito surrounding him.
It screamed for a while and then flew away immediately.
"Humph, you're so weak! You're even more helpless than a girl who hasn't had enough to eat!"
At this point in the war, the 75mm anti-tank gun, which has the largest number of equipment and the most widespread use among the front-line German troops, is actually no longer able to pose any effective threat to Soviet heavy tanks.
If the comparison between tanks can be used to describe it appropriately, it is like the long 75 Panzer IV tank without considering armor protection, which can kill the IS6 with one shot from the front.
It's possible to put it on Anton Planet, but on Earth, sorry, there is no magic here.
The Soviet heavy tank clusters that were advancing fiercely under the firepower of the German anti-tank guns did not even bother to stop. Now, the German anti-tank guns that are worthy of causing the Soviet heavy tanks to stop and fire during the assault are just long 88s.
Qualifications. With the Long 88, all the junk can no longer be served by the main gun. The dual-channel firepower of the turret and coaxial machine gun is enough to destroy it.
Dong dong dong——
Da da da--
The is4 heavy tank command vehicle with coaxial and roof-top machine guns both equipped with Deska is roaring and firing, and the is6 armed with a 7.62mm DT coaxial machine gun and a roof-mounted Deska high-speed machine is also firing at full firepower.
"Death! Fascist lackeys! Accept the warm greetings of communism!"
The person who controls the anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof is not the commander of each vehicle crew. The commander is an extremely important and critical position and must not be easily put to risk in battle.
With the support of the circular machine gun guide rail, the machine gunners who adjusted the machine gun mount to the rearmost position were the "tank knights" infantrymen who moved forward with the vehicle.
This approach is somewhat similar to the US military's Xie Mantou, which deploys Lao Ganma on the back of the head for the infantry to use. After Malashenko tried several similar operations before, he found a roof-mounted machine gunner covered by a turret bunker.
As long as you are not too desperate and deliberately exposed, the probability of death in actual combat is actually quite low, and you may even live longer than those machine gunners in the position.
Based on the priority principle of "if it works, then I will use it", a similar combat mode was quickly promoted in Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division. The charging scene in which the roof machine gun and the coaxial machine gun roared and fired at the same time,
It became the tried and tested fighting method of the heavy tanks of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, which could suppress the German infantry to the greatest extent even if the main gun did not fire.
Da da da da——
Kakaka——
"There's no ammunition! Change bullets, change bullets, change bullets quickly..."
The Deshka heavy machine gun, which has only 50 rounds of ammunition per box, does not have excellent firepower sustainability. Naturally, the crew members in the battle did not have time to open the hatch and pass ammunition from the vehicle to the infantry brothers standing behind the vehicle.
Fortunately, there is a small storage box behind the turret of every Red Army heavy tank, which can be used to store some maintenance tools. In wartime, it can be vacated to store spare ammunition for the machine gunner.
This is also one of the battlefield modifications carried out at the request of Comrade Ma. The small storage box on the back of the turret is not factory-made, but was welded and hung one by one by Karamov.
The sustainable firepower output of the heavy machine gun on the roof caused unimaginable trouble to the German troops on the position. The Deshka heavy machine gun bullet chain mixed with armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets could not even break through the thin civil engineering bunker, killing and injuring them.
The German soldiers hiding behind them, and even the German anti-tank gun crews protected by the anti-tank gun mantlets, were not spared and could not escape death.
Dozens of tracer barrages swept violently like red fire dragons. In less than half a minute, they wiped out most of the German machine gun groups and anti-tank artillery groups on the position, including people and equipment.
It all turned into a hornet's nest.
By the time the remaining German troops were about to collapse mentally, they could already feel the ground beneath their feet shaking violently, like an earthquake, and the sounds of chainsaw-like machine gun fire and anti-tank gun fire all around them had disappeared.
Those Russian steel behemoths, which were unscathed except for a few scratches on the paint, had already been killed in the face, very close at hand. Along with them, there was an impassioned shout from behind the tank.
"For the motherland! Comrades, hurrah!!!"
Ula—Ula—
The moment this hell roaring slogan was sounded, it completely defeated the fighting will of the remaining German troops who could no longer struggle.
The Red Army soldiers who charged on foot were so fast that they even surpassed their own tanks. They hardly encountered much resistance or counterattack the moment they jumped into position.
A small number of German troops chose to turn around and run away in an attempt to survive, but what awaited them were only ruthless bullets shot from behind and even machine gun barrages.
More German soldiers chose to throw away their weapons, raised their hands above their heads, fell to their knees with a thud, and surrendered immediately.
Either his face is expressionless or numb, or he is bursting with snot and tears, fearing that he will be shot on the spot in the next second.
Roaring and racing past them were the heavy tanks of the Red Army that didn't even bother to look at the scum of these invaders. There were more invaders ahead waiting to be conquered.
