When the huge explosion sounded, Kirill, who was sticking to his post as commander, had just directed the car to drive onto the main road in the village. This surprising and annoying news came immediately from the radio.
came from.
"From what direction did the shells come! Where is the enemy!? Report the situation!"
If nothing else, this was already the third friendly tank that had been killed, but compared to the losses, what annoyed Kirill more was that he still couldn't figure out the specific situation of the enemy.
We don’t know the number, location, or distance of the enemy at all. Even after being beaten and searching for the enemy, we should have a general understanding of the basic situation, right? But the news that continues to come from the radio is still very annoying.
"The sound of the artillery was covered up by the explosion, Comrade Company Commander, there were echoes everywhere in the village, and it was impossible to hear from which direction the enemy fired!"
"The road is also blocked, we can't move, comrade company commander!"
Damn it!
The huge IS6 heavy tank happened to be destroyed at the crossroads connecting two village roads. The turret was directly lifted off the tank body and fell to the side. The two large and small tanks were burning.
The debris piled up on top of each other, completely blocking the way forward.
No matter how powerful the is6 heavy tank behind it is, it can't push the wreckage away on such a narrow road. What's more important is that there is still a war at the moment. Who has the time to slowly play a game of pushing scrap metal with you?
The impassable road ahead meant that the road leading to the north entrance of the village was completely blocked. Kirill, who had just ordered the troops to take emergency action, had no other choice but to add new orders to move the troops elsewhere.
"Back off! Change the tail car to another car and go out through the south exit! Don't crowd into the village, act quickly!"
Kirill's order was conveyed truthfully, and the on-board radio maintained a very clear online communication state, but it would be a completely different matter if this order was actually carried out.
If it is an off-road battlefield where the terrain is open and you can run wildly, the IS6 heavy tank can easily turn on the move with its excellent maneuverability thanks to its high power-to-weight ratio, and its smoothness is not even inferior to those of medium tanks.
But this is not an open land but a village, and there is not enough space for the IS6 heavy tanks to display their mobility advantages.
Limited by the narrow road, the IS6 heavy tanks can only turn awkwardly and slowly. Otherwise, they will have to maintain the reverse state all the way out of the village. This sounds even more unreliable than taking the time to complete the turn.
, but it is not easy to make the is6 with only single-stream transmission complete such a difficult steering operation.
The tracks that are locked and flying are doing their best to turn as quickly as possible. It is too difficult for the is6 heavy tank that does not have the ability to turn in place to turn around in such a narrow environment. The drivers not only have to take care of their hands
When pushing and pulling the operating lever, you have to always pay attention to whether the tank will collide with a house on the roadside without control.
Kirill, who was holding the commander's periscope in his hand, could clearly see everything in front of him. The troops were in the most powerless moment. Kirill swore that he had never been blocked in a village and beaten like this before.
It's been so miserable. After we get out of the village, we must find the right opportunity to kill the bold Germans on the opposite side and avenge our comrades!
"Speed up the progress! Set off immediately after the steering is completed, start moving, fast!"
Kirill, who was holding a radio transmitter in his hand, was still urging his troops. If the enemy's situation was unclear, something might happen again at any time. It was precisely because Kirill knew this that he urged his troops again and again.
But sometimes, whatever you are afraid of will happen, and you will be extremely unlucky.
Kirill's order to hurry up and supervise him had just been given, but he didn't know that right next to him, across a row of houses, the German steel behemoth on another village road had already set its sights on the target again.
"Behind the window frame, shoot through the wall! Aim at the Russian turret and fire!"
Kirill was busy commanding the troops to adjust their formation and evacuate the village as soon as possible, while the two King Tigers, Calvus and Kosher, were hunting in the village, searching for prey.
Judging from the destroyed Stalin VI just now, other Soviet tanks that came to support must have been followed. Kalvus believed that once the Soviet troops in the village were alerted by the explosion, they would rush out in full force. One tank alone
It is impossible for a car to rush over.
But the huge steel wreckage of the car, which was detonated by a powerful ammunition, obviously blocked the way forward, so what should we do?
"If I were the commander of the Russians, I would order to turn around and go out through another exit, or that's the only way I can do it."
Calvus's guess was correct. Koschel followed his thoughts and visually searched through the gaps in the houses and broken window frames, and soon made the discovery.
As expected, there were other Russian tanks on the road blocked by debris across a row of houses. Koshel had already seen the target through the window frame of the wooden house that was completely broken and without any glass shards. It was a small half tank.
The outline of the rear half of the Stalin VI's turret is barely visible.
There is no unnecessary hesitation. To deal with this extremely difficult Russian steel behemoth, you must seize every best opportunity to fire. Especially now, this kind of perfect weapon exposes the rear part of the turret to its own gun line.
Don't let go of the opportunity, even if it's a chance of shooting through the wall, you must shoot it!
boom--
The No. 213 King Tiger commanded by Koschel opened fire again with a startling scream. The rapidly spreading muzzle blast flames disappeared in an instant, and the 88mm full-caliber hooded armor-piercing projectiles rushed out from it with a startling scream.
First, it smashed the wooden door frame and continued to move forward, and then also tore into pieces the window frame blocking the trajectory of the projectile.
The is6 heavy tank, which had just straightened its course and completed a 180-degree turn, didn't even have time to react. The 88mm armor-piercing projectile fired instantly hit the side armor on the left rear of its turret, hitting the bullseye.
The cast armor protection with a physical thickness of 150 mm and curved defensive angles is very thick. It is so thick that even the Tiger-1 cannons are likely to be heard, but it is not enough to withstand the strongest armor-piercing firepower in the hands of the Germans.
The main gun of the tank: long 88.
The armor was torn from the left rear position of the turret and poured into the vehicle. The armor-piercing delay fuse that was successfully activated exploded without any suspense. Dozens of 122mm projectiles stored in the turret were detonated simultaneously, causing an earth-shattering explosion.
A huge explosion then resounded over the village again.
