The German 500-kilogram aerial bomb containing a 260-kilogram warhead charge was extremely powerful. The huge explosion was accompanied by high-speed flying fragments of shrapnel, and even several surrounding Red Army soldiers were instantly reduced to meat. They were in the commander's position.
Malashenko, who was commanding the battle, suddenly lost consciousness after his eyes darkened.
The 500-kilogram aerial bomb fell from an altitude of more than 200 meters at an angle of five degrees. When it landed and exploded, it deviated nearly 100 meters from Malashenko's car due to the inertia of the pylon.
It happened that the final explosion center point of this 500-kilogram aerial bomb was a relatively low-lying pothole area. From a horizontal perspective, Malashenko, who was located in a relatively high hilly area, successfully escaped. The aircraft was
The Soviet Lager fighter jet directly broke the wing of the Stuka, but ultimately failed to finish off Malashenko and his crew.
It was about a minute later, maybe longer.
All in all, when the unconscious Malashenko opened his eyes again at the call of the person next to him, Malashenko, who immediately realized that he should not be dead, immediately subconsciously called out.
"Is everything okay? Everyone! Report the situation!"
"Everyone is okay, Comrade Commander, you are the last one to wake up!"
The person who responded loudly to Malashenko was the loader Kirill, who was patting his back to wake him up.
Malashenko, who felt that his whole body was sore as if his bones had been cut and cramped, could not think too much after hearing the most optimistic result. Then he gritted his teeth and held on to the pain, holding the commander's periscope in front of him and closing his eyes.
Come up together.
But Malashenko, who put his eyes in front of the commander's periscope, never expected that the commander's periscope, which had a narrow field of vision, would directly turn into a pile of broken glass, the extremely sharp and sharp glass
It's so bad that he didn't stab Malashenko's eyes directly.
"Damn it! It's not a good idea to break something, but it blew up the periscope! Now you're blind!"
Without the commander's periscope, the only viewing device in the vehicle, Malashenko was truly blind. The result was almost the same as the commander being killed in action.
"Iushkin! How is the sight of your main gun? Is it still usable?"
Hearing Malashenko's loud and fast question, Iushkin's face was stained with oil and sweat, and he immediately answered while gasping for air.
"There's nothing wrong with the main gun sight! I'm looking for those damn Germans. Comrade Commander, can you give me the direction?"
The main gun aiming angle with narrow viewing angle and high magnification, and the commander's sight with wide angle and low magnification are originally a set of supporting equipment that complement each other.
The gunner Iushkin, who was in a highly concentrated and tense state during the battle, could only see an extremely narrow and limited field of view in the high-power main gun sight and had no time to think about anything else, making it difficult to proactively track down the enemy.
Malashenko, who holds the commander's periscope, which is mainly responsible for detecting enemies, is responsible for overviewing the battlefield situation and making decisions before issuing orders to find the most threatening attack targets and inform the gunner Iwu through verbal shouting or slapping actions.
Shi Jin's general attack direction.
Iushkin, who held both the turret steering gear and the main gun elevation machine in his hands, immediately began to turn the main gun after receiving the order. In a series of one-stop actions, he simultaneously operated the elevation machine and the steering gear to point the muzzle at the target.
At the same time, the target distance and the ballistic descent of the main gun were estimated based on combat experience, and the pitch angle of the main gun was manually corrected by adjusting the density of the main gun sight, and finally the gun was fired to destroy the German tank.
But now, the commander Malashenko, who uses a crew as a combat unit, has lost the crucial commander's periscope in his hand. This is almost equivalent to the gunner Iushkin who can only use a narrow viewing angle and high magnification.
He was half-blinded when he used the gun sight to "seek the enemy through the cracks in the door".
On a cruel and deteriorating battlefield where the sound of gunfire continues and it is almost impossible to identify the enemy by listening to the sound, the current situation is no exaggeration to say that even if a German tank approached him at close range, the incompetent gunner Iush
Jin and the blind Malashenko may not have noticed it, and then they were shot into the soul without knowing it and completely ascended to heaven.
After several seconds, Iushkin, who didn't wait for Malashenko to reply, turned his head around in confusion. Malashenko, who looked as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, sat in his commander's seat.
, as if he was making up his mind for something extremely dangerous and crazy.
"The commander's periscope was blown to pieces, Iushkin. Stay in your gunner's position and continue fighting, waiting for my order!"
After saying that, without waiting for Iushkin to reply, Malashenko straightened up his back instantly, and with his right hand over his head, he directly pushed the top cover of the commander's turret above his head outwards and then smashed his whole head.
He reached out.
After being stunned for a moment, the gunner Iushkin immediately understood what Malashenko's intention was, and he blurted out a loud roar that almost shocked his jaw to death.
"Comrade Commander! Are you crazy!? This is on the battlefield. The German infantry is everywhere. You will die! Come back quickly!"
Malashenko, who had already eaten the weight and became determined, turned a deaf ear to the loud shouts of the gunner Iushkin.
Instead of dying in a tank like this or abandoning the car to escape like a coward, Malashenko, who has experienced so much since coming to this strange world and has had some subtle inner touches, would rather act like a real
The Lieutenant Colonel of the Red Army Tank Corps also used practical actions to live up to the Lenin Medal lining his protective suit on his chest.
Only the small half of the head above the bridge of the nose and at the corner of the eye was stuck out of the turret to obtain a field of vision while minimizing the chance of being shot. He picked up the binoculars hanging on his chest to act as the temporary commander's periscope.
It didn't take long for Malashenko to give the order while shouting loudly.
"One o'clock direction, three hundred meters! The German Panzer III is aiming at us! Kill him!"
"Crazy! They're all crazy! Not only are those Germans crazy, but you are also crazy and don't even want your life!"
Iushkin, who was muttering some unreasonably bad words, did not stop what he was doing.
The skillful and rapidly rotating steering gear drove the 7-ton main gun turret and tried its best to change the direction. Iushkin, whose entire arm was about to be dislocated, ignored the pain in his wrist and paused for a moment, almost clinging to it.
His right eye, which was looking at the main gun sight, immediately fixed his gaze on the enemy target that had appeared in the center of the field of vision.
