Maybe it was because the crosswind at the top of the high ground was a bit strong, or maybe Iushkin simply didn't find his touch and missed the first shot.
When the blazing shell rushed out of the muzzle and headed straight towards the target, Iushkin actually did not realize that his shot was destined to miss until the moment when the shell finally fell and exploded on the ground.
The moment came, the fire was everywhere.
Boom——
The 130mm full-caliber high-explosive grenade exploded very close to the No. 4 tank. It exploded almost against the left track of the No. 4 tank. The overflowing explosion fire and impact flames instantly destroyed the entire tank.
Most of the No. 1 tank was enclosed, along with the German infantry who followed the tank seeking cover.
Click——
Ding-ding——
"Damn it! Missed!"
The sound of shell casings falling into the collection box after the roar of the main gun sounded almost simultaneously with Iushkin's angry roar.
Malashenko, who was staring at the battlefield from the commander's position behind Iushkin, did not speak. He still maintained his posture of holding the commander's periscope with his eyes wide open until the flames of the explosion finally dissipated and recovered.
Vision.
"Then it's over on the 4th, you didn't miss it"
As Malashenko said, even if the powerful 130mm artillery shell did not hit the target directly, it would eventually kill the poor Panzer IV tank.
The 130mm high-explosive grenade that explodes at a distance of less than 10 meters has a destructive power of destroyer gun level.
The high-speed impact projectile fragments rushed out of the flames like a torrential rain at a moment before the naked eye could react, shooting in huge quantities. The completely exposed and unprotected tracks and walking equipment were instantly torn and scarred.
, fragmented.
What is more terrifying than the high-speed and huge amount of fragmentation impact is the explosive power of the warhead charge. This 130mm heavy grenade will never make any jokes on you even with the power of a near-missile explosion.
Optical sights, radio antennas, an MG34 machine gun mounted on the roof, and an additional ring of iron plate armor welded on the edge of the turret to reinforce defense.
Almost everything that could be torn off by external forces was blown away by the roaring wind and flames. No. 4, which was originally loaded with all kinds of decent accessories, was blown to pieces on the spot.
A "naked car".
The strong explosion impact caused the fragile Panzer IV tank to stagger in the blast wind and was almost torn into pieces. But in the end, it relied on the acceptable "precision German craftsmanship" to survive this indirect attack.
The hit's chemical energy impacts soft kill.
Even though it was completely impossible to continue fighting, and even the damage was so severe that there was no need to repair it, the steel body still stood firm and motionless after the storm and flames dissipated.
"Pfft - cough cough -"
The German armored soldier, spitting out a large ball of blood, endured the severe pain and opened the hatch cover, trying to escape from the hot and smoking coffin. However, he never thought that someone had been staring at the tank wreckage waiting for a long time.
boom--
"Ah uh——"
Da da da da da——
Boom boom——
The brief moment of sniper rifle fire failed to attract anyone's attention, and the crazy firepower that roared in like a storm was immediately overshadowed.
"Open fire! Kill these fascists, kill them!!!"
"Load the shells and load the armor-piercing shells! Quick!"
"Let the mortars fire and teach those naughty bitches what a large-caliber mortar is!"
Iushkin locked onto Iushkin at a glance from a distance of 800 meters and kept dynamic tracking. It was not until he was 500 meters away that the roar of a cannon fire became the first battle cry that kicked off the entire defensive battle. Hold on to your feet.
The soldiers of the leader division who had been waiting for this scorched land for a long time were merciless, and all kinds of light and heavy firepower were launched at once, with full firepower.
The ferocious firepower that came like a storm even caused the stunned and disoriented German soldiers to have doubts about who was the attacker and who was the defender.
This completely unexpected and crazy firepower seems to only mean one thing: the Russians on the opposite side have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Driver, start the car and get out of the bunker! It's time to let those fascists get serious!"
As soon as the gun was fired, the battle began. The huge IS7 heavy tank under Malashenko no longer needed to hide in the small and uncomfortable pit.
The first IS7 heavy tank, which appeared on the battlefield with a huge roar and roar, completely revealing its true appearance, will undoubtedly become the most terrifying nightmare for the dumbfounded German troops on the opposite side.
"Oh my God! What is that? What kind of monster has come out of the Russian position?!"
"It's not IS6, that thing is even bigger! It's even bigger than King Tiger!"
"Fire, fire and kill it! Support fire, fast!"
The leader division that advocates high-speed mobile combat has almost no configuration of towed anti-tank guns. This kind of slow maneuvering and even slower deployment is a remnant of the previous era. It is not suitable for the leader division in the new era model, but do not think based on this.
The leading division's anti-tank firepower was somewhat inadequate in defensive battles.
The IS6 heavy tanks, which had already been ordered by Malashenko to be prepared, quickly drove up from the low-lying areas to the front of the position and entered the shooting position. Not only did they bring the enemies in front of them into the range of direct fire, they also
He fully displayed his huge steel bodies in front of the enemy, which was extremely shocking.
It is as fast as the wind and as slow as the forest.
Attacking can invade and plunder like fire, while defending can be immovable like a mountain.
Perhaps there will never be a heavy tank like the IS6 more suitable for mass deployment by the leader division. This vehicle sticks to the front of the position and serves as the mainstay of position defense firepower. It is the mobile counterattack when the leader division enters a defensive state.
The tank fortress is a steel city wall that can cause any German army that dares to come to seek death to smash its head and bleed with blood.
"Damn it! These Russian heavy tanks came out from nowhere, there are too many of them! They are everywhere!"
"This is a trap! The Russians have brought a lot of heavy equipment up. We have to retreat! Retreat immediately!"
Let's not talk about the anticlimactic attack that ended hastily, but you have offended the old horse and still want to run away? It's too late.
It is easy to rush forward but difficult to retreat. There is only one chance for the bait to bite the hook. The determined Malashenko will never let this group of German soldiers retreat so easily. The table has been laid out for you and you can't help but eat.
is you!
"Prioritize the armored targets and vehicles, and each crew can fire freely!"
"The artillery is ready, the rocket assault battalion is ready! Listen to my orders and be ready to project firepower at any time!"
