After struggling in a nightmare for almost a year, I finally got a new gun, which was enough to destroy KV1's new Panzer IV tank head-on within a regular combat range.
Not long after the joyful excitement had passed, the Russians' newer model of heavy steel monster rumbled across the street and came into view.
Faced with the embarrassment of having his proud new main gun hit the front armor of the opponent's vehicle but being bounced off on the spot, one can almost imagine the anger, despair and shock that the German armored commander felt in his heart at this moment.
"Damn Russians! Damn heavy tanks! Why are the tanks in our hands always obsolete in front of the Russians?!"
If it weren't for the fact that Malashenko, a little butterfly from another dimension, suddenly broke into this timeline and flapped its wings, the latest 75-gun German Panzer IV tank would have been enough to deal with all types of Soviet tank units at this stage, even if it was armored
She was still extremely fragile, but at least she had the strength to fight back, so she wouldn't be pinned to the ground and only beaten.
But unfortunately, with Malashenko, a peaceful war traveler who wants to survive the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet tank technology tree that has been tampered with beyond recognition is destined to become a nightmare for the German army.
If there is one thing that Malashenko hates most on the battlefield, then it is that the reckless German dares to use armor-piercing bullets to hit his precious car and take the initiative to provoke him. This is the most intolerable thing that concerns Malashenko's life.
, the idiots who dare to do this must be eliminated.
"Seryozha, change gears! Reduce the speed to below 10 kilometers per hour and keep moving forward!"
"Iushkin, let me see if you can do what you usually brag about! Kill the Long Fours closest to the street!"
Old-fashioned tanks that were not equipped with main gun stabilizers during World War II were almost unable to fire while moving, but this was not always the case and there were exceptions.
The inability to fire accurately while moving is simply because of the uneven off-road road surface, which will cause the main gun that is rigidly connected to the turret to tremble along with the tank itself. Of course, the main gun sight that is also rigidly connected cannot escape the exception, just like
A running sniper cannot kill an enemy while moving.
But if the tank itself is traveling smoothly and is very close to a stationary shooting state, it becomes possible to fire accurately while moving.
Malashenko, who had rumbled past most of the ruins and bomb craters, was now directing his lead car on a relatively flat urban road with no obstacles or ruins.
In this case, slowing down the vehicle speed further reduces the shaking of the vehicle body caused by high-speed driving. Combined with the good shock absorption and solid stability brought by the heavy tank's wide tracks and huge tonnage, it is possible to fire and hit the target while moving.
Although the probability is not absolutely accurate, it is at least greatly improved.
The long-barreled Panzer IV tanks lingering not far from the street entrance and turning their turrets toward him are Malashenko's biggest concern at the moment.
Looking at the German armored force, there is only one Panzer IV tank equipped with a 75 mm long main gun, which can threaten its own IS1 prototype within a normal combat distance. These extremely threatening primary targets must be eradicated first, while maintaining
Firing on the move was the bold tactic Malashenko decided to try when he wanted to take care of both ends.
The distance between the No. 4 tanks at the street entrance was about 300 to 400 meters. At this distance, it was absolutely safe to fire at a tank-sized target while parking! If Iushkin missed,
Malashenko threw this embarrassing guy out of the turret and kicked out the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment to lead a Mosin Nagant as infantry.
But the problem is that the current situation is to fire on the move. Although I have done things like bombarding German positions on the move before, but that was when I was close enough that I could use the main gun sight to clearly see how distorted the expressions on the Germans' faces were.
distance, and the target of the bombardment is an existence the size of a defensive position.
To be honest, even Malashenko himself was confused when he fired at a tank while moving at a distance of three to four hundred meters, because this was really the first time a big girl got on the sedan! At the moment, I can only pray for Iushkin’s so-called title
The strongest gunner of the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment can give it a shot. If you miss, it will not only be embarrassing, but the German army on the opposite side will seize the opportunity to shoot again.
"Armor-piercing bullets are good!"
"Iushkin! It's up to you, let those German guys see how powerful you are!"
"I know, I know! I'm going to kick the ass out of these Krauts!"
There is a saying in China that "the emperor is in a hurry and the eunuch is not in a hurry", but if this sentence is applied to the current No. 177 IS1 prototype heavy tank, it has to be said differently, "the commander is in a hurry and the gunner is in a hurry", or even "the gunner is in a hurry than the tank."
"It's long but urgent".
Iushkin, who was in charge of gunnery and shooting, was under great psychological pressure. Iushkin, who had already killed dozens of German tanks, knew very well that if he missed the shot, there might be four or five more shots.
German armor-piercing bullets greeted him at the same time.
Maybe one of the four or five rounds of armor-piercing bullets will hit the main armor belt on the front of the tank at a tricky location, such as the cast gun mantlet with a physical thickness of only 100 mm on this prototype tank.
Although the semi-curved mantlet has a very high chance of ricocheting, the only area that can be penetrated 100% of the time is the palm-width horizontal area in the center of the mantlet.
But those who dare to risk their lives and repeatedly try to bet on luck on the battlefield often end up with bad results. Ever since he was a child, his luck has always been extremely bad. Iushkin has never won even a child's house game.
I believe that my character will suddenly explode and I will be lucky. No matter what, this shot will knock out the No. 4 tank that has been set in the sight scale!
Seryosha, who held the joystick in his hand and pedaled the accelerator and brake pedals, operated at extremely high speeds, forcibly reducing the speed of the tank in the shortest possible time and causing a violent shaking of the vehicle body.
The swaying IS1 prototype No. 177 still continued to drive forward on the wide street, without falling into the troublesome low-speed turtle crawling state due to the slow engine speed after parking.
The sight of the main gun in front of him was still shaking slightly. Iushkin held his breath. Big beads of sweat dripped from his forehead along the brim of his tank hat to the bridge of his nose. He continued to concentrate without noticing.
At that moment when the flow of time seemed to have slowed down countless times, Iushkin found out the vibration pattern of the gun mirror while driving at a constant speed and adapted to this rhythm. Iushkin, who chose to believe in himself at this moment, finally took action decisively.
