"Fire! Fire and kill it, it's aiming at us, quick!"
"But there are high-explosive shells in the barrel!"
"It doesn't matter what the hell the bullet is, just shoot it out! Fire!"
"yes!"
boom--
The German armored vehicle crew could not hear what was being shouted on the Russian radio channel on the opposite side, but the high-explosive projectile that hit the armor plate with the roar of the gun made a real loud noise, deafening.
"Did we kill it?"
Looking at the body of the King Tiger that was half-hidden in the blast smoke and had not fully revealed its true appearance. There was no field of view or sighting equipment available, and the loader who could only immerse himself in work couldn't help but express uncertainty.
question, even the sound of breathing became rapid and wheezing, and beads of sweat broke out.
Encountering the most powerful and difficult heavy tank currently in service in the Germans, it would be a lie to say that I didn’t feel nervous at all. The more you can’t see anything, the more panic you will feel, especially
It's even more stressful when you're face to face at such a close distance.
"It seems...it seems to have been killed. I think we have killed it! Yes, it should be killed..."
The gunner, who also lacked confidence, was full of uncertainty in his words. He was not completely sure that he would be able to kill the German's strongest steel monster with one shot. The thickness of the skin and flesh of that thing was completely different from that of his own is6.
At the same level, one must not underestimate its defense power even a little bit.
"Don't worry about it, keep loading, armor-piercing bullets! Quick!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the loader continued to work, while the vehicle commander, who was also the battalion commander, was also keeping an eye on the target and did not dare to be careless at all.
When the flames and smoke of the explosion gradually dissipated, and the mighty shock wave finally settled, the majestic giant thing that reappeared in the field of vision, and the slight trembling that had begun on its body, only made people scream.
.
"Sokka! This thing is not dead, it is alive! He is moving!"
"Move, reverse! Don't stop and be a target, reverse sideways!"
Almost at the same time as the gunner's exclamation, the battalion commander, who had already expected that the super monster in front of him might not be dead yet, reacted immediately and immediately ordered the driver to start reversing.
The main gun has not been loaded yet, so now is not the time to fire.
At this time, standing still will only make the Germans a target, and they will be helpless and unable to do anything meaningful. Since there is no need to remain still and fire, then it is best to maneuver to prevent the Germans from aiming at the weak point and shooting accurately.
The choice, the moving target that runs can always make it more difficult for the German to aim, which is better than staying motionless like a bastard.
The IS6, which suddenly sprayed out a burst of black smoke from the tailpipe, maneuvered again and began to reverse at full speed. The King Tiger that slowly drove out from behind the dissipated flames and smoke was also moving, but it was not maneuvering forward, but turning.
The turret aimed its black hole directly at the target.
"Target locked, fire!"
boom--
The front of the car was hit hard by a 122mm high-explosive grenade, but it was not seriously damaged and was forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
The King Tiger, whose entire anti-magnetic coating had been almost destroyed, finally began to fight back, spraying fury, and the armor-piercing bullets that escaped from the gun with a shrill scream hit the target in the blink of an eye.
call out--
Ding-ding——
crackling——
A series of tooth-grinding sounds of metal twisting and deformation came from outside the car. It was like putting a person in a big bell and then hitting the bell hard, giving people a splitting headache.
"There's no breakdown! This blow is cruel enough!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Keep maneuvering and reload quickly! Complete your aim first and be ready to fire at any time!"
"receive!"
Although the incoming kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile did not completely penetrate the main armor belt on the front of the is6, it did cause "severe" damage to the tank itself that was visible to the naked eye, as the driver closest to the shot site said.
A large piece of external additional armor was directly peeled off by the energy impact. The front of the car body painted in winter camouflage looked like a tree trunk that had been chopped by a knife, leaving a clearly visible and deep and ferocious scar.
, diagonally upward to the edge of the turret.
This was not over yet. A heavy blow hit the upper part of the car body, shattering the hood and quilt, deforming the warhead, and ricocheting due to the ridiculously exaggerated defensive inclination on the front of the is6 car body.
.
However, this powerful and heavy full-caliber armor-piercing projectile did not exhaust its impact kinetic energy even after ricocheting, but continued to move along the forcibly derailed trajectory at an extremely high speed, which shows that it burns chemical energy
How ferocious the converted impact kinetic energy is.
It hit the edge of the gun mant diagonally upwards, followed by another ricochet. The violently vibrating metal friction and impact made a harsh sound like fingernails scratching a blackboard, leaving a series of lightning flashes, and finally trailing a silver-white warhead tracer.
The trail shot straight into the sky like a meteor and disappeared into the sky without a trace.
"Quick! That bastard needs to be reloaded, so hurry up before he does it. Hurry!"
"It'll be ready soon, right away, right away..."
call out--
boom--
Before the anxious shouts in the car could finish, the screams that broke through the air without warning and the dull sound of cannons sounded again without anyone in the car expecting it, and it was a direct hit.
Ding-ding——
"Suka! Another shot, there's a problem! Then why does the German reload so fast!?"
"Shut up! Don't ask questions, fire and kill it before the third shot!"
Not only the cursing and shouting gunners were greatly puzzled and shocked, but the battalion commander comrade in the commander's seat was also the same. He couldn't figure it out at all, let alone understand the German's terrifying fire of two guns in five seconds.
What exactly does speed mean?
In the past, although the Germans' elite King Tiger crews were able to achieve a very high rate of fire, with integrated warheads and cartridges, easy-to-load custom shells, they were able to fire bursts of fire that could not be achieved by Stalin's heavy tanks, but that
At most, one shot takes about seven to eight seconds, which is understandable.
The Tiger King's five-second shot in front of me has never been seen or heard of by the battalion commander, let alone others, who at least claims to be fairly experienced in combat. It is simply unbelievable.
But I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I'm frightened in my heart, but Comrade Battalion Commander still understands what he needs to understand: the battlefield is never the time to hesitate or ask questions, especially when the opponent is still alive and kicking and the threat is huge.
If there is any hesitation or delay, it is always right to kill the enemy first and then think about the problem later.
"Loading completed! Good armor-piercing bullets!"
Bang——
The loader's loud report sounded almost at the same time as the sound of the breech closing, but just before the remaining words in the car could be heard, something even more unexpected and a ghost happened again.
Boom——
That King Tiger opened fire again before the is6 counterattacked!
