Tanks in a high-speed charging state cannot fire on the move and suppress fire at medium and long distances. They can only choose between advancement and precise fire. It is impossible to have the cake and eat it too. Therefore, this is supposed to be the German counterattack.
The best time for tank guns to fight.
However, the highly integrated operations of the various arms of the leadership division have effectively overcome this weakness, and the skillful application of various types of technical equipment is enough to make up for this annoying shortcoming.
The German anti-tank gun positions are no longer safe even when shooting the IS6s that advance at high speed, and the armored clusters that are mixed and coordinated with the BMP43. Those who park behind the IS6s to press the formation, by raising a certain muzzle elevation angle, take advantage of the already curved trajectory of the 152 grenade
The non-vertical characteristics of direct-aimed artillery support became the German anti-tank gun's most terrifying nightmare and an invitation to death.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom boom boom——
One after another, the 152mm grenades exploded one after another on the German anti-tank gun positions, constantly blooming, using cruel large-scale AOE damage to mercilessly destroy one anti-tank gun after another, and one group after another was responsible.
German anti-tank artillery that manned them.
In the usual Red Army tank divisions, due to the use of small guns such as the SU76, the lethality is insufficient, and the long-range accuracy is inherently poor. As a result, the effective kill rate is even lower. It is difficult to kill a German anti-tank gun even with multiple guns.
This situation does not exist at all with the support of the leader's powerful technical equipment foundation.
Every time the ISU152A fires its weapons, it is the death knell of a German gun on the road.
The destructive power is huge. Even if the 152mm grenade that explodes a large area does not hit directly, even if it hits the geotechnical bunker of the German anti-tank gun emplacement, or even thirty meters away behind the German anti-tank gun emplacement, it still has no impact.
The survival of the German anti-tank artillery was at a loss.
It is the greatest luck to be swept into a sieve by the splashing shrapnel that comes at high speed. The flesh and blood are torn apart by the destructive flames. Not even a whole person can be found. The unlucky guy who can no longer see the slightest trace of human form is the most unlucky person in the world.
tragedy.
"The attack is going well! We are approaching the final distance, and we are releasing the infantry to dismount and prepare to charge!"
The most direct and real-time feedback from the forward attack troops could be clearly heard from the radio, but Malashenko did not give an order, and the radio transmitter was still hanging on the iron stand at hand. Only Kurbalo
Fu Na's follow-up order came from the radio channel.
"Continue to attack and break through the enemy's position! Move the self-propelled artillery positions forward to prepare for advance support, and the follow-up troops will follow up and rush upward! Send the reinforcements up, quickly!"
For Malashenko, there is no probing attack at all. This is a one-stop charge that must be successful no matter what.
The determined Malashenko threw in the absolute main force of Kulbalov's brigade in one breath. Before the forward attack force could break through the enemy's position, he sent in follow-up reinforcements and rushed upward.
Even if the forward attack force encounters resistance and certain losses, even if it breaks through forcefully, the German positions will be torn apart. All this has been determined as early as when the initial combat plan was drawn up.
The first wave of troops that rushed forward quickly moved forward as a whole. The ISU152As who stayed at the back of the formation to support the formation also temporarily suspended fire projection, began to maneuver, and continued to advance to the next gun position ahead.
The vacant edge of the highland did not remain vacant for long. This scorched earth, already covered with craters and track marks, soon welcomed the second wave of steel guests, and the earth began to tremble again. That was where the Kurbalov Brigade followed
Comrade Brigade Commander ordered the second wave of reinforcements to follow up.
"Infantry fighting vehicles charge to support, and self-propelled artillery enters the gun position and prepares to fire! Hurry!"
Different from the previous wave of battering ram attacks with heavy tanks as the absolute main force, the structure of the second wave of reinforcements has obviously changed.
It is no longer dominated by absolutely heavy tanks, but mostly infantry fighting vehicles, supplemented by a small number of heavy tanks.
As soon as they reached the top of the highland, they quickly expanded in the limited battlefield width, that is, the front of the highland peak, and quickly followed up along the traces of the comrades who had just passed by the first wave of attacks, to expand the results of the battle and move the German positions
The gap opened violently in both directions, and much needed infantry reinforcements soon arrived.
Boom boom boom——
Behind those BMP43 infantry combat vehicles that were advancing at high speed and heading towards the friendly armored groups to quickly reinforce them, they had already entered the artillery position. The ISU152A self-propelled artillery groups in their positions were raising the elevation angle of the gun barrels and firing loudly.
The method of artillery bombardment is no longer direct-aimed artillery support, but changed to high-elevation angle artillery fire.
The roaring large-caliber grenades flew over the heads of the German troops and went straight into the depths of the positions behind them.
Among the panicked German soldiers, some soon realized what the problem was, and a strong shudder and frightening thoughts rushed straight to their foreheads and suddenly came out.
"Not shooting at us but at the rear of the position?! Are the Russians dividing the position into pieces with artillery fire? Do they want to eat us whole???"
The barrage of artillery fire divided it, hindering retreat and reinforcements, and then swallowed up the entire position cut out by the artillery fire as quickly as possible.
This tactic, which sounds as bloody as cutting flesh, was thanks to the clever German commanders who could realize it in time and think clearly, but in the end it was just the last moment of sobriety before death and destruction.
Knowing how you will die does not mean that you can defeat the fate of death. It is exactly the same as the state of a death row prisoner who is about to have his feet dangling on the gallows.
"Launch the missiles! Launch them quickly! Keep launching them, launch them all!!!"
The German soldiers, who were almost suffocated by the powerful and overwhelming sense of oppression, had completely entered a state of madness and fought with all their strength.
The German commander in charge of commanding the anti-tank missile position roared at the top of his lungs and howled out orders.
Those carefully camouflaged anti-tank missile launchers are extremely concealed and small in size, and are far less easy to detect and target than huge anti-tank guns.
One of the funnier things is that you have to get close enough before launching to ensure a satisfactory hit rate.
It sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
The German army, which operates these new anti-tank missiles code-named "Little Red Riding Hood", has actually already discovered the problem.
This control method is extremely anti-human. Anti-tank missiles that use visual tracking and manual command guidance are really difficult to use. The missile needs to be continuously manually controlled and corrected during its ultra-low-altitude flight. The whole process must be concentrated without any mistakes.
The problem.
Even if the joystick in your hand makes a slight mistake and turns in the wrong direction for 0.5 seconds, the anti-tank missile flying at high speed will most likely plunge into the ground like a fool, making people curse in anger.
Siesen”!
Moreover, the poor flight control surface has extremely poor performance and slow response, so this anti-tank missile must be roughly aimed in the direction of the enemy tank before launching. After launching, it cannot have too much direction error until it hits the target.
Otherwise, the missile will not have time to correct its flight trajectory, and will most likely miss the target a few meters away.
It cannot be launched too far away, otherwise it will be difficult to control the flight trajectory. The longer the flight time, the more likely it is to make a mistake and send the missile into the soil.
But you can't launch it too close, otherwise the significance of anti-tank missiles as precision-guided weapons will be lost. If you launch it close to the face, even Iron Fist and Tank Killer can hit it, and you still need to operate anti-human anti-tank missiles.
Dried chicken feathers?
Under the constraints of various restrictive factors, it is already possible for the commander of the German missile unit to keep the medium and short range salvo until it is almost certain enough to hit the target without losing the significance of long-range precision guidance.
optimal decision made.
Whether this decision can achieve meaningful results is a completely different matter.
