Commanding the troops to launch a fierce attack on the third and final defensive position, Malashenko, holding a microphone in his hand, soon received the news that a tank unit composed of Germans and Romanian bastards was attacking.
The situation of being close to oneself.
Of course, judging from Malashenko's consistent style of commanding battles.
Even if Vatutin did not order the destruction of this tank group, Malashenko, who would never allow a duck to fly, would definitely order the killing of this group of arrogant enemies. Those bastards who dare to ruin their own good deeds must be punished.
At this point in the battle, there is only one final push left to break through the third defensive position.
Malashenko, who was rapidly weighing the pros and cons, did have a brief thought of retreating, but this brief thought was quickly replaced by a strong desire to win.
Rather than retreating to safety first, wouldn't it be better to seize the Romanian positions and use their defenses against the Germans? There is nothing more satisfying in war than to retaliate.
"Let me test how tenacious your loyalty to your master is, you bastards..."
Malashenko hung up the microphone in his hand back to its original position and did not issue any update orders.
One hour may not be particularly sufficient, but it is enough to cover the final attack distance of less than three hundred meters.
The is1 heavy tank with full throttle continued to speed forward at full speed. The Romanian army stationed on the position had tried every means to mobilize all the anti-tank firepower, but even so it was still a drop in the bucket in the face of those powerful opponents.
"Tanks, quickly destroy those Russian tanks, they are coming!"
"Damn it! Damn it! This crappy German anti-tank gun doesn't work at all. Which bastard invented this!?"
"Fire! Fire! Fire quickly!"
Malashenko, who led the infantry behind him to attack forward, was in an orderly manner, but the Romanian army on the position was at the last moment before collapse.
boom--
Ding-ding——
call out--
I tried both full-caliber armor-piercing bullets and sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing bullets, but no matter what kind of shells were hit on those monster tanks of the Soviet army, the result was all kinds of sparks flashing in vain, which was almost even to those steel behemoths.
It didn't even count as tickling, but it really made the Romanian soldiers who were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the Germans very angry.
If you want the horse to run, you don't give it good grass to eat. You only use the broken grass that will probably cause diarrhea to fool the fool. The Germans have been doing this since the beginning. Of course, they don't expect to gain anything from it.
What a great result.
"Damn it, retreat! Retreat! Russian tanks are coming, cover and retreat!"
Most people will choose to run away timidly under the pressure of absolutely real sensory impact. This is one of the primitive instincts of human beings, just like eating and sleeping. Just imagine if you encountered saber-toothed tigers and jungle fires in ancient times, and you would have anal sex like an idiot. I don’t know.
Even if the primitive people escaped, I am afraid that human beings would not have been able to survive in the prehistoric era when all beasts were kings and later come to dominate the planet.
Malashenko had expected that these Romanians would choose to retreat under tremendous psychological pressure, because normal people would choose to do this under normal circumstances, and those Romanians were obviously among the normal people.
37, 50, 75, after trying all German anti-tank guns of all calibers, they only destroyed one IS1 heavy tank, broke the tracks, broke legs and paralyzed two tanks.
And the only IS1 heavy tank that was destroyed from the front was extremely unlucky to be hit by a sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectile from the 75mm Pak40 anti-tank gun, which hit the bullseye and penetrated the 100mm physical thickness of the mantlet armor on the front of the turret.
.
The tungsten alloy bullet core penetrated the gun mantlet armor and continued to move forward, carrying the lifted impact fragments, forming a terrifying metal storm in the turret, killing the gunner and loader and seriously injuring the commander.
The uninjured driver simply climbed into the turret and moved away the bodies of the two comrades. He dragged the commander, who was covered in blood and had fainted, from the escape hatch at the bottom of the tank, but failed to trigger the ammunition explosion.
This is1 heavy tank had its turret tilted and became a zombie tank parked on the battlefield.
Of course, this level of combat losses cannot be counted as a complete loss of tanks for the Soviet army.
The final result of this battle will inevitably end with the final victory of the Soviet army, and after that, all paralyzed tanks and zombie tanks abandoned on the battlefield will be properly processed and recycled.
These recovered tanks can be reassembled and rushed to the battlefield with a little processing. Such tanks cannot be regarded as completely lost tanks. This is why the number of destroyed tanks reported by the German army is always the same as the number of lost tanks reported by the Soviet army.
The reason for the large discrepancy in quantity.
It’s not that the Soviet army intentionally concealed the good news but not the bad news. Just repairing a “tractor” as the Germans called it and putting it into full condition again on the battlefield was really not an overly difficult task.
The destroyed IS1 heavy tank also made Malashenko realize that this new heavy tank with excellent performance and balanced attack and defense is by no means invincible.
The area without large arc protection in the center of the entire gun mantlet has only 100 mm of physical thickness armor protection. If the incident angle is appropriate, this kind of armor protection can even be used by sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles fired from 50 mm small water pipes like pak38.
Possible breakdown.
Although the real battlefield is not as good as the game, the anti-tank gun under huge psychological pressure is not accurately aimed in most cases, and is fired directly after being attached. The is1 heavy tank in a moving state will not stop stupidly and let anyone
Tanks and anti-tank guns are natural enemies. From the moment they discover each other, they will fight each other desperately until one side is killed first.
But in the final analysis, this kind of situation can be regarded as a side reminder to Malashenko, who just mentioned the new car. The IS1 heavy tank is not absolutely invincible in the face of the enemy's anti-tank firepower. It may still be destroyed at close range.
It was lucky enough to be penetrated by the sub-caliber tungsten-cored armor-piercing projectile passed down by those Germans. Even if the armor protection cannot be considered 100% invincible, it is still necessary to take out those small water pipe anti-tank guns with a high degree of caution.
At the moment when Malashenko was reflecting on the battle situation, the IS1 heavy tanks at the forefront had already climbed up to the position, showing their domineering and majestic bodies to face and intimidate the enemies who were timid to escape.
Malashenko was about to pick up the microphone at hand and update his order before he took any actual action. A loud fire explosion shot up into the sky and shot up from the ground within a visual distance.
