Chapter 1336 Ice Storm (5)

There are always all kinds of outrageous things in this world, and sometimes these things happen so suddenly that they can overturn your perspective. 6̳̳

Generally speaking, the introduction of new weapons to the battlefield can achieve good results, which is natural, just like how the Americans of later generations demonstrated their modern war theories in actual combat for the first time during the Gulf War. The investment in a large amount of new equipment has indeed had gratifying effects, and of course the current German army also thinks so.

It's just that the scene of ricocheting clearly in front of you is indeed a bit unacceptable to be honest.

No matter what kind of weapons the Russians on the opposite side are using, I have worked so hard to develop the latest equipment, isn't it just to beat you in terms of technical equipment? If after using it for a period of time, the opponent counterattacks and creates a stronger weapon to overtake him, this is still acceptable.

But right now, even the latest heavy tanks are still unable to damage the Russians' broken tractors at all. Such a result cannot be described as a slap in the face.

For those armored soldiers of the National Defense Force who were originally full of confidence, this was simply equivalent to a slap in the face, which is no exaggeration.

It stands to reason that the Germans had the opportunity to realize how powerful their opponent's new heavy tanks were, but the problem was that during the Battle of Kursk on the southern front, they were barely able to get it in Prokhorovka. Malashenko's IS6 car No. 177 was finally abandoned due to the arrival of Soviet reinforcements and the flood of strategic counterattacks.

Analysis of those photos alone cannot provide too specific data. Backman, who personally investigated Malashenko's car, did not even have time to measure the armor data. He just took some photos of the internal configuration and equipment installation, and then covered the sky. The Soviet aviation units that blocked the sun came over and had to withdraw.

But there are no what-ifs on the battlefield. Let’s take a step back and say that the most powerful anti-tank gun currently available to the German army is the Chang 88.

Newer and stronger tank main guns and anti-tank guns are currently either on the design drawings or still lying in the test workshop. Since the Chang 88 cannot achieve satisfactory results, even if the opponent's specific armor data is analyzed It’s all in vain, that’s what the saying goes, “There’s nothing left to do”.

"Fortunately, the armor can stop it! The IS6 can completely withstand those new heavy tanks of the Germans!"

After seeing his own IS6 heavy tank troops being blasted by the Germans' direct fire, Lavrinenko's first reaction was joy and excitement!

Medium tanks cannot withstand the enemy's heavy armor-piercing firepower. In the final analysis, this is nothing, and it can even be said to be normal.

Take the T34 for example. From 1941 to the present, this legendary medium tank has created countless battlefield myths. At the beginning, it could even scare the Germans out of their wits with its super comprehensive performance.

But the T34 was never invincible from beginning to end. Even in 1941, it was as brittle as paper when faced with heavy direct anti-armor firepower such as the German 88 gun. You cannot require a medium-sized tank with a moderate tonnage and mass production to have an absolute armor-crushing effect. This is contrary to common sense.

If this were the case, the war would not have been so difficult until now. It can even be said that it is a miracle that the Germans can still hold on after being locked up in the Soviet Union and beaten violently.

As long as our own heavy tanks can withstand the heavy anti-armor firepower of the opponent's heavy tanks, this is half the standard for our own heavy tanks.

You ask the other half?

Of course, it depends on whether your own heavy tanks can penetrate the enemy's heavy tanks at the same distance. Only if you can do this can you be considered 100% qualified.

What does it matter if you can't wear it? Lavrinenko really didn't think too much at this time, because the opportunity for practical demonstration was already close at hand and coming soon.

After killing this group of German black panthers, the biggest threat at stake has been eliminated. At least for a short time, they no longer have to worry about the front being breached and losing control of the situation.

Next, naturally, we have to fight back against those arrogant German heavy tanks! Just being beaten without fighting back has never been Malashenko's style of running the army. In Comrade Ma's own words, "If you are a coward who doesn't fight back after being beaten, don't be embarrassed by my hands!".

These IS6 heavy tanks, which had just joined the battle, only fired one shot. The well-trained loaders of each vehicle assembly, almost all of whom had unicorn arms, still maintained sufficient physical strength, and the loading speed would not be significantly reduced due to the weakening of physical strength.

On the contrary, precisely because they had just fired one shot, the loaders of each crew were still in a period of explosive loading. It is easy to insert the 122mm projectiles and cartridges placed at your feet into the breech, and the loading action is done in one go without any sloppiness.

"Armor-piercing bullets are good!"

"Aimed! Target heavy tank!"

"fire!"

boom--

When the German King Tigers had fired two shots in a row and were loading the third wave of direct shells, the IS6 heavy tanks, whose loading speed was indeed at a serious disadvantage, finally began to speak again.

The rough and unrestrained 122mm main gun sprayed out blazing flames of death, shaking the snow in front of the car body, and the full-caliber armor-piercing projectiles that came out of the barrel at high speed rushed straight towards the target with strong force. Those fat tiger kings who were targeted still dragged their heavy bodies and stood still in place, without any evasion or maneuver in the face of the incoming artillery fire.

It only takes the blink of an eye for the high-speed flying armor-piercing projectile to hit the target at a distance of 800 meters. The King Tiger, which uses a large angle tilt method to arrange the armor on the front of the car body, withstood this wave of shelling. The sound of metal hitting and the sound of armor twisting and deforming came at the same time, accompanied by the screaming sound of supersonic shells tearing the air, which was extremely harsh.

The rapid stranglehold of the battle did not leave much time for the warring parties to think. The impact of the 122 cannon on the main armor belt on the front of the King Tiger was immediately revealed.

Lavrinenko, who was holding the commander's periscope with his hand and staring intently, looked down on too specific details. The wide-angle commander's periscope itself did not have the higher magnification of the main gun sight.

Even if Lavrinenko, known as the "sniper's eye", has good eyesight, he can only barely see clearly that most of the shells hit the target accurately. Those huge German heavy tanks are indeed quite easy to aim.

When the impact of the shells and the smoke and fire from the missed shells on the ground dissipated, Lavrinenko, who did not even dare to blink, finally saw clearly the result of this salvo, but the tone of the words that blurted out in an instant without thinking. But it’s really not great.

"Damn it! The coffins of these Germans are still moving!"
