Looking at these new and unexpected steel behemoths in front of him, Lavrinenko, whose eyes were dull, couldn't help but feel a little crazy, and his brain was still temporarily blank and in a state of panic.
The stronger armor can withstand the close-range direct bombardment of the Kraut 88, and the higher mobility ensures that this thing can keep pace with the main heavy tank force, coordinate the attack, and can also be more effective in the important matter of mobile support.
good performance.
It is true that the firepower has not changed, but does the firepower need to be changed and improved?
May I ask what kind of bad car the Germans have that can make trouble in front of the 152?
The answer is of course no.
Lavrinenko still clearly remembers that when Kursk encountered the German Ferdinand who was rampaging on the battlefield, and all kinds of weapons could only make a sound when hit, and when he couldn't fight at all, he finally
These 152 giant guns came out and taught the Germans how to be scum.
Thick armor? Doesn't matter.
I don’t need to break through your armor. Try the overpressure impact of a 152 high-explosive grenade hitting your face. If you don’t believe it, your dome armor is too thick to explode, let alone that you don’t even have a gap for overpressure to get into the car.
nothing.
Of course, no matter how thick the armor was, it could not withstand the fierce bombardment of the 152 Cult. Ferdinand was blown to pieces. When he went to inspect the wreckage after the war, the scene was even more miserable.
The cockpit at the front of the car body only had its dome armor broken through and was blown to pieces. The power compartment in the middle of the car body also had its dome armor broken through and was completely destroyed by the explosion.
The situation of the fighting room at the rear is slightly better, after all, it is supported by 200 mm thick front armor.
However, the explosion and overpressure that got into the car still shocked the German soldiers in the fighting room until they bled to death. The German soldiers who were seriously injured but not dead did not fare much better either. They dared to ride without machine gun protection.
Ferdinand, who was shot at close range with his face in his face, was extremely vulnerable to being pressed close to his face by the Red Army infantry during the battle.
The weapons in the hands of the infantry are very difficult to damage your thick armor, which is why the German stick dares to wave close to the rider's face, but I still can't kill the few seriously wounded soldiers who abandoned the car and fled for their lives? One of them counts.
Everyone is served at once!
Lavrinenko still has vivid memories of these scenes in Kursk. He also remembers that when he first encountered the Tiger King and was helpless by the heavy armor, the unparalleled 152 was still in danger and was ordered to show off his power in the line of fire.
Blow up the new iron turtles of these German guys and kill them all.
One thing to say, this power is already very damn powerful. At least among the Germans I have encountered so far, I have not met anyone who can catch 152 to survive. If you want to say that there is really no need to increase the firepower, it does not make much sense.
So in total, this new isu152 seems to have only advantages and no disadvantages. Such a cool new thing is really a huge surprise beyond expectations.
"It's unbelievable. I've never even heard of the existence of this thing before. It sounds very powerful just by it."
Faced with such an unexpected surprise, he was naturally overjoyed and didn't say anything, but Lavrinenko still had a question he wanted to ask Malashenko.
"Does this thing have a new name? It's not still called siu152, right? There should be some difference."
When Lavrinenko said this, Malashenko, who guessed that a good brother would ask the same question, just smiled.
"The name is not too surprising, isu152a. It just adds a simple letter to distinguish the difference in sub-models. The body is still from the is series, and the main gun is still 152 mm in caliber. According to the naming method, it is really difficult to introduce a new one.
name, so I added a letter suffix to distinguish it."
"Currently, the output of this thing is still very low, and it is still in the initial production stage of a batch. Most of the 50 units that the Kirov plant has produced are here, and there are a total of 28 units on the train. Use them first.
Look, if the feedback is good, I will submit a report and apply for more, which will be used to replace all the old isu152s in our division, and by the way, I will also provide improvement suggestions to the rear."
Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division can be regarded as the "Guards of the Guards". This is not only reflected in the combat effectiveness and troop composition, equipment configuration, but also in the priority of receiving logistics supplies and new equipment, as well as the treatment enjoyed by the leading division.
It is also the only Scorpion shit in the entire Red Army.
As long as Malashenko feels the need, he can draw up a list and submit a request for equipment to his superiors. This is unlike many others who can only "take whatever the superiors give them." Whether it is good or bad is just that, and there is no choice in hand.
Quan's friendly army mayors and comrades would never envy him in their dreams.
In most cases, as long as it can be satisfied immediately, it will be sent as soon as possible according to the list and delivered in place. If it is not possible, it will be transferred from the new equipment assigned to other brother units, giving priority to ensuring the supply of equipment to the leading division.
Only when there is really no goods on hand, the higher-level logistics department, that is, the logistics equipment department at the military level, will wait for a call back to the leader division, and will prioritize delivery as soon as the items arrive.
So Malashenko said that he had booked the new isu152a in advance and could get more as long as he found it useful. He was not bragging.
Our Comrade Ma really has this ability, and Lavrinenko certainly knows it well.
Malashenko, who was about to get up from the bench, was planning to go over to see how the truck was being unloaded and give some instructions on the spot. Lavrinenko also planned to follow Malashenko over to take a look.
But at this moment, the boy Iushkin came from nowhere and ran up to Malashenko, obviously running a little out of breath, and kept asking questions.
"Comrade Commander, why is there a big guy I've never seen before parked on the truck behind me?"
"I took people up to remove the camouflage cloth and unload the truck. I thought it was also a self-propelled artillery. As soon as I took off the camouflage cloth, I found that it was not at all. It was a new tank that was larger than the IS4 and had never been seen before. Was the person loading the tank the same?
The wrong goods were loaded? This is the only car in the entire train that is different. This is not normal."
If Iushkin hadn't suddenly rushed over to report with such a loud noise, Malashenko, who was chatting with Lavrinenko, would have probably forgotten that there was such an important new gadget parked on the train.
Before Lavrinenko, who was also unaware of the situation, could say something, Malashenko quickly stood up when he remembered what had happened, and then hurriedly gave an order to Iushkin, who was slightly panting in front of him.
"I almost forgot. That thing is also ours. It's a new car I brought back from Leningrad. Be careful not to make any mistakes when unloading it. This thing is now such a treasured one in the whole country. It is to be replaced.
It’s our command vehicle. Hurry over and keep an eye on it, don’t dump it on the railway track. I’ll take a look at the situation here and I’ll be there soon. If anything happens, I’ll ask you for it! Go quickly!”
? I I've got some things to do a little busy here.
