When it comes to turning waste into treasure, sometimes it’s not just about a single object.
As long as possible, anything can be turned into treasure, and even the excrement can be used as fertilizer.
Since the original set of experimental launchers simply doesn't work, then we simply don't need them. We have to completely redo the loading and deployment launch modes and the entire design, and start over from scratch to find other solutions.
Generally speaking, this is a long process that requires a lot of time to repeatedly design, demonstrate, and test repeatedly.
As for all the Germans, what they lack most is time.
Forced by the huge realistic pressure, the Germans quickly focused on the tank bodies and chassis that had been recovered from the front lines and piled in rear factories or large repair shops, waiting for repair or recycling.
superior.
In terms of carrying capacity, these tank-level chassis can easily carry such a large missile after removing the turret. After all, no matter how heavy this thing is, it will not be heavier than a tank turret made of solid homogeneous steel.
In terms of deployment methods, mobile deployment mounted on a tank chassis is many times more powerful than deployment at fixed launch positions.
The small anti-tank missiles used by infantry have been successfully tested and put into mass production. The Germans who have begun to field troops in small batches have reason to believe that anti-tank missile operation and sighting devices that can be miniaturized to the infantry level can be integrated and loaded into
It is on a tank chassis that is larger in size and has a stronger carrying capacity than a flesh-and-blood body.
It can also appropriately enlarge the size and increase the weight of the equipment in exchange for better performance and enhanced combat effectiveness.
Theoretically everything is tenable and can be established, then all that is left is the hands-on operation of converting the theory into actual products.
Because the missile and vehicle body chassis are all ready-made, the newly added vehicle-mounted operation and sighting devices also have reliable technical support. They only need to be modified and appropriately upgraded based on the infantry version.
Therefore, the entire transformation and integration process was unprecedentedly fast, and the Germans also experienced the joy that the Soviets often experienced in the past: the joy of integrating design with a large number of existing shelf products and mature technologies, the joy of lightning speed and reliability.
However, it seems that this happiness was discovered a little too late for the Germans and arrived a little too late.
The truly manufactured "Type 6 Tiger Missile Tank Destroyer" and "Type 4 Missile Tank Destroyer" are reliable enough, even though they are modified using a large number of different batches and different models of body chassis recovered from the battlefield.
Well, if you put these finally modified cars in a row, it is almost difficult to find two cars that have exactly the same appearance and details.
But there is no doubt that this thing is effective, and it is indeed very effective in the field of anti-tank for which it was designed.
To what extent is it effective?
In one shot, a captured IS6 heavy tank that could not be repaired due to missing parts and was "reluctantly given up" by the Germans was blown to pieces.
Yes, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a mess in the true sense.
Not only was the vehicle immobilized, but all usable parts were removed. The scrapped IS6s used as backup parts for those still usable German IS6s were blown apart, and the turret was directly removed from the body and chassis.
The upper lift flew down.
Moreover, everything that can be removed from the chassis of the vehicle was removed, including but not limited to the tracks, road wheels, and even the suspension rods connected to the vehicle.
After a loud explosion that burst into flames, the IS6, which had already been scrapped, was left with only a broken body and chassis that had been restored to factory settings. It was burning like a dark coffin.
The overjoyed Germans seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. This thing could actually destroy the troublesome IS6 from the front with one shot! It was a new precision strike weapon with a longer range and tracking guidance. This was simply heaven.
Save me Germany!
What happened next was what happened to Malashenko.
The Germans, who were counting on this kind of "decisive weapon" and "black technology weapon" to come back from adversity, couldn't wait to put these newly modified magically modified vehicles into the battlefield and sent them directly to the area that needed firefighting the most and was in the most critical situation.
On the Luo Highlands.
Together with a large number of reinforcements drawn from the city of Berlin, they were mixed into a relatively tough Tianlingai army to create the mace of Malashenko's leader division.
But reality is always independent of people's subjective willpower. It is unrealistic to expect one or two new pieces of equipment to change the war situation and compare the situation between the enemy and ourselves.
The only role these projectile vehicles, blown by the Nazi propaganda machine as "Russian-destroying artifacts", played on the Zelo Highlands was to annoy Malashenko, and then carry out a more complete and devastating blow.
The end came.
Most of them were raised by the leader, and a few were abandoned or captured after being paralyzed.
This is what Ke Jin saw before his eyes.
After listening to Malashenko's narration just now, and understanding all the details that Malashenko relayed and learned from the prisoners of war, Kogin basically had a rough judgment in his mind and then spoke to Malashenko.
asked.
"You just said that this thing can destroy IS6 with one shot? Directly from the front?"
Looking at Kogin's still unbelievable expression, looking for a definite answer, Malashenko smiled lightly without any unnecessary emotion after hearing this, but the words that came out of his mouth next were terrifying to death.
"In fact, it's not just the IS6, this thing can even destroy the IS7 with one shot from the front, and it's also a mass-produced version of the composite armor IS7."
"I saw with my own eyes on the battlefield how this thing flew towards IS7 and how it turned my strongest and most valuable main battle technical equipment into a pile of scrap metal. Amidst the huge explosion and raging fire, it only took
one strike."
"There was no need to salvage and repair the IS7 and there was no possibility of rescuing the crew, because with just one blow the IS7 exploded on the spot and its head was moved. You would never imagine that I saw with my own eyes how huge the IS7 was, and it was upside down in the car.
I was so shocked when the turtle shell turret on the chassis was lifted directly from the chassis and flew into the sky. This was destroyed from the front, it was crazy!"
"."
I didn't expect Malashenko's answer to be like this. Kogin also fell into the same "shocked my mother for a whole year" expression as Malashenko did at the beginning.
Although Kojing did not preside over the design of the IS7 project, Kejing, who participated in the entire design process and constantly gave suggestions, knew how powerful this thing was and what an epoch-making "super heavy tank" it was.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is actually very close to the "ultimate perfect tank" in Ke Jing's mind based on current technology and design concepts.
You can hardly imagine how to design a heavy tank more powerful than the IS7 with current technology. It is even more unimaginable how powerful a super heavy tank, especially one known for its terrifying protection, is.
Only with a terrible attack can it be killed in one blow from its strongest protective frontal main armor belt, which exploded on the spot.
Of course, Malashenko could guess the reason for Kogin's horrified and shocked expression. He also knew that there was only one reason why this kind of unsophisticated anti-tank weapon could kill IS7 head-on.
"Guess how much charge the warhead of this thing has. I bet you can't guess it right."
