Chapter 1393 Blessings come in two ways

Malashenko, who had kept his hand on the periscope, clearly saw what was happening in front of him. The shell that destroyed the first Panther did not come from the IS6 that made the impact, but from another heavy tank on the side. Called here.

In other words, the benefactor who saved Malashenko's life had at least two heavy tanks teaming up.

One of them knocked over the leading Panther tank with one shot, and the other one hit it at full power, stepped on the accelerator, and hit the German Panther on the spot with its head.

Malashenko didn't know who came to the rescue at such a critical last moment and pulled the lives of all his brothers back from the edge of the cliff. No matter who it was, he deserved his great gratitude.

Malashenko planned to ask who saved him, but before Malashenko could take the initiative to ask, a familiar voice suddenly came from the microphone hanging beside him.

"Are you okay? Malashenko, are you okay?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Comrade Lao Ma, who was originally curious and puzzled, immediately grinned.

"It's you, Lavery, thank you very much."

Malashenko heard it correctly. The person on the other end of the radio holding the microphone in his hand and talking to him was undoubtedly Lavrinenko, but this was not all the correct answers.

"Don't just thank me. Thank Kirill quickly. He didn't even load the shells before he ordered the car to rush forward."

"Kiril?"

With Lavrinenko's reminder and the wide-eyed glance of both eyes, Malashenko saw a car with a unique and special shape that could be recognized at a glance within the field of vision of his commander's periscope. The IS6 heavy tank with a big difference was parked next to the Panther that had just been knocked out.

Malashenko realized what was going on without saying a word. He immediately turned his head and reached out to push the radio button, switching the channel to a state where Kirill, who was also the commander of the car, could hear it. He spoke repeatedly.

"Kiril, report the situation! How are you doing there? Is anyone injured!?"

Kirill's car was a special car specially approved by the division commander, Malashenko's "ex-wife". It was an IS6 recovered from the Prokhorovka battlefield after the war and finally modified by Karamov. Heavy tanks.

This modified IS6 belongs to Karamov's "artistic display" and "whim". It is the only one in the entire Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division! The iconic twin-mounted 7mm Teska anti-aircraft heavy machine guns stand proudly on the turret and are majestic. This alone is enough to confirm that the identity of this IS6 is indeed Kirill's car.

Malashenko, who spoke in a hurried tone, was afraid that Kirill would do something wrong and be knocked out of the violent car accident that he had just stepped on the accelerator.

You must know that even in an ordinary car accident, if two cars collide, it is normal for someone to be killed and crippled, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

As for the proactive battlefield car accident just now, two tanks with a total combat weight of over fifty tons collided directly with each other.

Although the speed is not as fast as a car on the highway, it is worse than the heavy tonnage and full strength. Moreover, tanks these days do not have seat belts or airbags. If it hits an armored bulkhead and kills someone, it Very likely to happen.

"Kirill, can you hear me!? Answer me, right now!!!"

Malashenko, who couldn't wait for Kirill's reply, became even more impatient and irritable, blurting out his words again in a rapid-fire manner.

That posture was so strong that if Kirill didn't reply, Comrade Ma would immediately get out of the car and rush over.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not happen. Words that made Malashenko extremely surprised and excited soon came over the radio.

"Comrade commander, I hit my head on the roof here. Fortunately, I was protected by the tank cap, but I was just a little dizzy. Everyone else in the car was fine too. A few shells were knocked out of the ammunition rack. Come out, luckily it didn’t explode, let’s try to see if we can get this baby to move again, it should be fine.”

Among the combat uniforms of Soviet tank soldiers, there is something that may seem inconspicuous but is extremely important: the tank cap.

This thing looks dark and unattractive, but the impact buffering effect of the soft lining cannot be ignored. There are iron bumps everywhere inside the tank. Any bump or knock would be serious. Not to mention that if such a serious car accident occurs, if there is no protection on the top of the head, then the person who is hit will have a bruised forehead and head.

This unattractive tank cap is not only used now, but also used by Russian tank soldiers decades later. The rustic armored soldiers who learned from the Soviet tank corps also use this artifact from beginning to end. The 59 crew has this thing on their heads, and the 99A crew still has this thing on their heads.

Although it has been continuously improved with the help of modern science and technology, the material of the tank cap has undergone essential changes, becoming more excellent and more in line with practical needs. However, the basic outline and shape have never changed, that is, there are constant minor changes but no major changes, which is enough to show that this black Soviet-made tank cap is indeed an artifact.

The tank cap on his head saved Kirill's life, and other crew members in the same crew also escaped from fatal injuries under the protection of the tank caps.

But on the other side, in the German Panther tank that was paralyzed on the spot, the crew members of the German armored forces were far from so lucky.

The German armored soldiers who collapsed at their respective posts were extremely miserable. Although not all of them died in this unexpected disaster, even those who could barely move and breathe had blood flowing down their faces. , a hole in his head and multiple fractures all over his body.

If it were Anton Star's Germanic Superman, he might still be able to fight, and it wouldn't be a problem if his head was shot off 152 times.

But this is the earth, not the planet Anton. These mortal German armored soldiers only wear the most basic military uniforms and cloth caps on their foreheads, which has no protective effect at all.

In addition, the Panthers were unprepared, the incident happened suddenly, and they were hit from the side. However, the IS6 commanded by Kirill did it intentionally and faced the enemy head-on. All the crew members had seized the opportunity of their respective abilities. Grab the firm part and be ready for impact.

One is intentional and the other is unprepared.

The completely opposite final results of both parties in the car accident are not so difficult to understand under such circumstances.
