"Ahead! Enemy tanks, directly ahead at the street intersection! Twelve o'clock direction!"
"Load armor-piercing rounds! Quick, prepare to shoot!"
"What the hell, it's too late! That Suka thing is aiming at us, prepare to attack!"
The voice that was limited to the radio channel communication within the train crew was not transmitted to the public channel for inter-car communication, whether it was the No. 177 car of Iushkin's acting commander, or Malashenko borrowed it from Kulbalov.
Even the temporary command vehicle that arrived could not hear the last words before the artillery fire came.
The only thing that could be heard was the terrifying roar of flames followed by a gust of howling wind.
Boom——
call out--
boom--
It was impossible to tell which of the two explosions, which were almost connected together, was the sound of firing and which was the sound of projectiles exploding. I could only see the bright and huge rising fireball blooming in an instant on the street in front of me.
"Fuck! This is your mother"
Malashenko, who was shocked by the huge explosion, felt that the car seat was shaking under his butt. He was completely confused about what happened and what kind of attack could cause such a terrifying explosion at that moment.
movement.
Just kidding, this is an IS7 with a combat weight of 70 tons, not the Japanese adzuki bean tank.
Even Malashenko, who was sitting in the commander's position, could feel the car seat shaking under his butt. He knew how big of an explosion it would take to make the movement. It could shake the IS7 like a crib in an instant.
The same trembling left and right.
After being startled, Malashenko immediately calmed down and then grabbed the commander's periscope in front of him, and without saying a word, he looked in the direction where the explosion had just come from.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. One look at it almost shocked Comrade Ma and dislocated his jaw.
I saw an IS6 heavy tank that was the first to arrive on the battlefield to provide support and was now driving at the front of the counterattack queue. It had been completely blown apart by the powerful explosion just now, with its armor torn to pieces and turned into a pile.
Burning pieces of steel that even lost their heads.
The force of the explosion was so powerful and thorough that the head of the IS6 heavy tank was blown away by the ammunition and flew to an unimaginable place: a two-story building on the street that had been captured and the battle had just ended.
The strong momentum of the rush directly broke through the wall of the private house built by the Germans, which was not very strong or thick, and opened a huge gap in the entire outer wall of the building. The flames instantly generated by the explosion,
The head of the IS6, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, was hanging with its turret upside down on the gap in the balcony on the second floor. It looked like something hanging on the shelves of a street shop.
They had just conquered the building, cleaned up the remaining debris, and were cleaning and reloading their weapons while taking a sip of water. The infantry soldiers, who had just taken a breath, had not even sat down firmly when they were struck by this "unforeseen disaster".
The IS6 turret smashed directly into the second floor, which made me tremble all over. I even thought I had been attacked by enemy artillery.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that the head of one of his own heavy tanks was blown up by ammunition and lifted to the second floor.
A brave soldier who was so horrified walked up to it, looked up and down at the huge tank turret that was mostly blackened with shock, and blinked hard before finally confirming that it was his own IS6 heavy tank.
wrong.
Holding the AK in his hand, he carefully turned his head and looked downstairs. At a glance, he saw the twisted pile of metal garbage burning amidst the fire and black smoke. The entire body and chassis had been completely blown to pieces and lost.
Not to mention its outline, the surrounding streets are littered with parts and fragments that have been removed from the IS6.
Due to the explosion of this powerful ammunition, there were many infantry soldiers who were killed by the incoming misfortune before they had time to escape.
A rough calculation shows that there are at least one squad of soldiers lying scattered on the street.
Most of them fell motionless in a pool of blood, and some could not even maintain their basic human shapes. Their limbs were either blown off and mutilated, or they were injured by large pieces of high-speed fragments that swept across the center of the explosion at extremely close range.
Cut into two pieces.
Those soldiers who survived with a little breath were lucky to be saved. After the explosion, the comrades who rushed to save people immediately, regardless of the danger they faced, were braving the oncoming German bullets and risking their lives to seriously injure themselves.
The comrades dragged him away and rescued him.
An IS6 heavy tank was destroyed, and a squad of infantry on board was wiped out. Evaluated based on the damage sustained in an instant, this loss is not insignificant.
But fortunately, the leaders are well-trained and experienced, so they can handle any critical emergency situation with ease. The sudden loss in front of us is just an ordinary episode that may be encountered at any time. To be honest, it is really not enough.
strange.
The IS7 heavy tanks that came to replenish their positions and the newly arrived infantry quickly took up their positions, followed closely by a BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle that quickly transported and supplemented the infantry.
The barrage of 25mm cannons fired together with the roar of the 14.5mm KPV machine gun formed a fire net and poured out, heading straight towards the direction of the enemy firepower on the other side of the street to counterattack.
It was only then that the prototype of the real murderer, the culprit who caused all this tragedy, was revealed from the gradually settling dust and smoke curtain across the street, and his true identity was officially revealed.
"What a fool! It's actually an Assault Tiger, Gan!"
At least a long time ago, at least as early as the Battle of Warsaw, there has always been a shadow in Malashenko's heart that is not big or small, but always lingering.
Malashenko has encountered all the tracked armored combat vehicles of the Germans.
From the PUMA reconnaissance vehicle carrying a 75-gun and the Type 251 half-track vehicle, which are absolutely scarce, to the total production in history, which is just over three digits, it is not much in this timeline.
There are not too many 128-gun Jagdtiger anti-tank destroyers.
All kinds of miscellaneous German armored tanks have been encountered by the leading division, and all of them have been defeated without exception. They have even created a rare product such as the captive No. 4 "Grizzly" assault gun, and will
It was handed over to Vatutin as a gift for his "glorious achievements".
But there was only one object that Malashenko thought he could encounter in the city of Warsaw. There was no other object that the leading division could encounter until they reached the city walls of Berlin.
Malashenko, who was suspicious, thought it was "bad luck" that he couldn't collect all the illustrations of all the tracked armored fighting vehicles of the Germans.
But the reality actually gave Malashenko a "super-large surprise".
Malashenko originally thought that this thing would never be seen again when the red flag was planted on the top of the Capitol. This kind of extremely rare technical weapon should have been exhausted in high-intensity field battles and should not be left for the final decisive battle. Now, now
It was clearly placed in front of Malashenko, and with just one shot it killed the IS6, which ranked second in combat power among all the tanks in the leader division, announcing its strong debut.
It doesn’t change its name when it stands, it doesn’t change its surname when it sits down. That thing is a precious "Assault Tiger" that is modified from the prototype chassis of the No. 6 Tiger tank and carries a 380mm large tube.
