The German anti-tank missiles spitting out blazing tail flames flew out at a very close distance. The anti-tank missile launch sites preset in advance were so concealed that people could not even notice that this small size was not even noticeable.
weapons.
Distance, hit rate, flight time.
All the crucial shooting elements have been taken into consideration. The commander of the German anti-tank missile position, who has practiced mastering this new weapon countless times, is quite confident that he can hit the target at the current shooting distance. He is very sure.
But being able to hit is one thing. Whether it can produce effective damage after hitting is another matter that is completely unrelated and completely different. It cannot be directly equated.
Boo hoo hoo——
Boom boom boom——
Just one salvo fired and at least six bullets hit simultaneously! This is really rare for the German army, which has only nine launchers in the entire anti-tank missile position. You still need more than 65% of the actual first-shot hit rate.
What kind of bicycle? It can fully meet the needs of actual combat. The German anti-tank missile soldiers who witnessed the missile hitting the Russian tank and hitting the bullseye shouted excitedly on the spot.
"Okay! Hit, hit!!!"
The excitement at the moment disappeared before it could subside, and the irritation and frustration soon followed.
"Damn it! That Russian monster is still moving and bursting out of the smoke!!!"
Since the first time he encountered the German anti-tank missile, Malashenko was glad that his early foresight was just right and ready to be used, which was the external modular composite armor that was originally designed to resist the Iron Fist.
Although it is the same defense enhancement kit, it is true that different vehicles can have different qualitative changes when used.
The medium tank uses a tank-killer rocket launcher that can well withstand the direct-aiming bombardment of the German Panzerfaust and the tank-killer rocket launcher, which are constantly escalating in power and diameter.
And if a heavy tank that can withstand the fierce bombardment of Panzerfaust and Tank Killer head-on uses this thing, it can easily go to a higher level and directly transform into a wall of sighs that can swallow German anti-tank missiles head-on.
The Kraut anti-tank missiles in this timeline were squeezed by the strong anti-armor pressure on the front line and their power was greatly increased. The penetration depth was increased by simply and crudely increasing the charge.
The test results show that this kind of size is not too small. The feeling of holding it in your arms is not much different from holding a 122 propellant cartridge. The static penetration depth has reached an extremely exaggerated 350 mm level, which is much better than that of the previous one.
Historically, the power of the immature anti-tank missiles of the Germans has reached a whole new level, and it is enough to threaten the IS6 heavy tanks, which are the new main force of the Red Army.
But this is only compared to the first batch of mass-produced basic IS6 heavy tanks.
Starting from the second batch, the latest IS6 heavy tanks shipped from the factory have a built-in rubber interlayer in the front protection main armor belt to enhance the resistance to chemical energy metal jets. In addition, additional armor can be added through an upgrade kit.
The modular composite armor continues to enhance the anti-break ability.
In other words, except for the early first batch of IS6, there is a high probability that it will be penetrated by the German anti-tank missile in the naked car state. The IS6 mass production model in the second batch of specifications is enough to be used in the naked car state.
It can withstand bombardment even when the Germans bring out more powerful anti-tank missiles, and has prepared a countermeasure in advance: just attach additional additional armor kits.
Because of this, the German army was so confident that they even cheered for a wave of anti-tank missile bombardment at the moment of the hit, but in the end it only produced the most unbearable tragic effect.
The flames and smoke that rose up at the moment of the missile explosion enveloped the entire front face of the tank. However, after the smoke was blown by the wind, the flames quickly disappeared, and the field of vision was restored. What emerged from it was not a Russian tank that was burning and making constant explosions.
Instead of wreckage, the IS6 heavy tanks that continued to press the accelerator to death without suffering any fatal injuries continued to impact.
"The anti-tank missile hit directly, and the additional armor on the front of the vehicle was damaged!"
"Don't worry, keep moving forward! The machine gun suppresses the Germans' firing position and prevents these Nazis from reloading! Quick!"
The batch of anti-tank missiles that were fortunate enough to be captured in previous battles helped Malashenko a lot. A thorough study of these missiles allowed Malashenko to quickly figure out its basic design, general performance, and of course more crucial things.
weaknesses, and enough to formulate targeted tactics and strategies to counter them.
"This is a weapon that has a certain degree of guidance accuracy but is very difficult to control. Tests have shown that it cannot accurately hit long-distance tank-sized targets through long-distance control. So on the battlefield you will probably encounter Germans using this thing to counterattack
Shoot at close range. When it fires and is exposed, the reloading phase is your opportunity. Suppress or destroy it to prevent it from firing again. If you cannot use the anti-tank gun, then the vehicle-mounted machine gun will be your best choice. There is no one.
Remember to have quick eyes and quick hands.”
The memory of the performance analysis meeting on Kraut's new anti-tank missile that Malashenko personally hosted and explained is still echoing in my mind. It was a meeting for all tank commanders and combatants in the division, all tank troops above the platoon level.
All the commanders and soldiers were present and participated in order to explain clearly how to deal with this German thing.
Among the people who showed up at that important meeting, of course, included the company commander who had just swallowed two anti-tank missiles alive. He clearly remembered the analysis and explanation of the division commander and he immediately gave the order.
Fight back.
"Machine gun suppresses the Kraut's firing position, fire!"
Da da da--
Dong dong dong dong——
Not only the 7.62mm machine gun coaxial with the main gun, but also the 12.7mm Teska high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun on the roof also fired at the same time.
The people responsible for the operation are of course not the tank crew members, but the mechanized infantry who dismount the infantry fighting vehicles and follow their own tanks.
In simulation training and actual combat again and again, I have already faced infantry fighting vehicles, and I am familiar with what to do in the final stage of tank charge.
There is no reason why the roof-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun as a mobile firepower point should not be effectively used. Those soldiers with quick movements and quick eyes have already climbed onto the moving IS6 heavy tank at this moment, using the cover of the turret to lower themselves and operate the guns.
shooting.
The new ring-shaped machine gun slide support allows the Deshka to be easily switched back and forth between the two firing modes used by the crew out of the hatch and the infantry behind the turret. All you need to do is grab the Deshka and turn it.
However, this is another small improvement design added to the second batch of IS6 heavy tanks in addition to enhanced defense. The person who made the suggestion is still Comrade Malashenko.
When a dozen IS6 heavy tanks at the head of the vehicle intensively projected crazy machine gun barrages from two tanks: 12.7 plus 7.62, which were also mixed with those mobile guns. Although the accuracy of the shooting was not good, the muzzle was still "boom".
"Dong dong" kept ringing, and the 25mm cannon shells used the rate of fire to compensate for the accuracy.
The German anti-tank position, which had been cheering loudly just now, was instantly transformed into a raging land of flying sand and rocks, with dust flying everywhere.
