Chapter 1900 Synthetic Assault (Part 1)

No matter what Major General Schmidt and his partner, the Chief of Staff, thought in their hearts and worried in their minds, the coming cruel reality still roared and roared directly into their faces regardless of human subjective will. read

The first wave of offensive under Malashenko's personal command was still continuing. The heavy tank group that came up again in one go soon carried infantry and appeared within the sight of the German troops stationed on the second defensive position.

"Load armor-piercing rounds, aim at the target! Get ready for battle!"

The huge and bulky PAK 43 88mm heavy anti-tank gun is the most powerful anti-armor firepower in the hands of the German army on the battlefield. This powerful anti-tank gun with the same firepower as the King Tiger can take you away one by one like a hammer smashing walnuts. Most of the Soviet army's main tanks that can be thought of include the latest T43 medium tank.

But there are only two rare Soviet tanks except the IS6 heavy tank, which is rare in number and only exists in the Soviet Guards tank force. It is also the mainstay of the force and is equipped with a small amount. On this basis, it is even more advanced than the former. Rare and rare IS4 heavy tank.

The mainstay of the German army, the anti-tank firepower of 88, cannot defeat these two super iron turtles. This is a true situation proven by countless actual combat examples. These two Soviet heavy tanks with strong armor and sharp guns are definitely the most terrifying ground nightmare for any German army.

Fortunately, the number of these two super tanks in the Russian front-line tank troops is not large, perhaps due to the complexity of the process or the cost. Not to mention that they only appear in the elite Guards tank troops. In most cases, there are only a few tanks mixed with other more conventional Soviet tanks.

As long as the number is not too large, the German army will always have a way to deal with it, it is just that the price paid and losses will be greater.

But now, when the German gunner ordered the entire artillery crew to start loading, aiming, and preparing for battle, he raised the telescope in his hand and looked again at the incoming enemy troops that he had only taken a general look at, without having time to take a closer look. , using astonished adjectives such as "your jaw almost dropped to your feet" is no longer enough to describe his vivid expression at this moment.

"How come there are so many!?"

As far as the field of vision can be seen with telescopes in hand, the Soviet tank troops sweeping in with overwhelming force are magnificent.

The tanks that rush to the front are without exception the IS6 heavy tanks whose names can make people feel headaches and even fear.

And there are some slight changes in appearance. Who knows why the Russians used their storage boxes as skirts and hung them on the side of the tank, and even hung them in a half circle around the turret. Maybe to enhance defense? Who knows? Such a big iron box shouldn't be solid, right? If that were the case, could these Russian steel behemoths still run so fast?

A moment of random thoughts could not suppress the fear lingering in his mind. Unknowingly, even the hands holding the telescope were trembling. The German gunner pretended to be calm, and ignored the half-hearted intention to order the fire and used his long gun to fire. 88's advantage in range is to hit the opponent with one shot and see the effect.

"Directly at twelve o'clock, 1,200 meters away, the Russian heavy tank leading the way!"

"Loading complete!"

"Aimed!"

Before the half-opened "fire" sound could be heard, the German gunner's ears suddenly heard a whistling roar like a train whistle.

Woo——

"Artillery attack! Get down quickly!!!"

Boom——

Boom boom boom——

The IS6 heavy tank, which is big enough and rushes to the front, does block the German army's view to the rear to a certain extent, but more importantly, it attracts the German army with its terrifying body with great visual impact. attention.

Following closely behind the IS6 heavy tank, located in the center of the attack queue, the ISU-152 self-propelled artillery group accompanying the assault had all stopped, with their muzzles raised low and aimed at the German positions that were within visual range for direct-aiming test firing. , the large-caliber grenade that whistled low like an old cow panting or a train whistle was fired from it.

"Accurate hit! The enemy anti-tank gun has been destroyed!"

"Keep reloading, high-explosive bombs! Quick! Blast these idiots back into their mothers' wombs!"

The ISU-152 self-propelled artillery, which was modified based on the chassis of the late IS2 heavy tank, has strong armor protection. Due to Malashenko's indirect influence, it is even rougher and thicker than the ISU-152 in history. . Ordinary German anti-armor firepower can't do anything to this monster, and there is no problem at all in following a group of heavy tanks to coordinate the attack.

Not intending to waste time by calling for artillery preparations does not mean that Malashenko will be so determined that his troops will be able to withstand the German anti-armor firepower and launch a strong attack regardless of losses.

In the past, the ISU-152 was rarely used to directly participate in battles. This time, in the first wave of attacks, Malashenko took out all of them and pressed them on, so that they could be launched during the charge without delaying the progress of the assault. The heavy firepower suppressed and uprooted all the heavy firepower points of the Germans who dared to show their fangs on the position, leaving no trace of struggle.

This accompanying high-protection mobile heavy artillery firepower is the most powerful heavy firepower support for the rapidly advancing heavy tank group.

The power of 122 Heirloom is already great, but the power of 152 Justice needs to be even higher on this basis.

An unexpected burst of 152 high-explosive grenades hit the unprepared German army and caused heavy losses. Seeing the enemy's heavy tank group charging close at hand, they subconsciously thought that the Soviet army would not prepare for artillery fire coverage, which ruined these. The lives of German soldiers.

The PAK 43 heavy anti-tank gun half-buried in the gun emplacement could not hide its huge body, and was completely shattered by the 152-meter anti-personnel grenade roaring from a kilometer away.

The gun carriage and breech block were blown to pieces, turning into a pile of hot steel twists just out of the oven. The gun barrel was blown off from the breech block and flew upside down. Due to the strong impact, it was directly stuck upside down on the ground, like a telegraph pole that was severely tilted by a strong wind.

The German gunner who opened his mouth half-opened before giving the order to fire, evaporated together with his entire squad of artillery crew.

After the roaring 152 Justice left a huge crater, it disappeared without a trace or a human being.

The first wave of heavy artillery barrage was extremely targeted. Regardless of whether it was a direct hit, it was always correct to hit the German anti-tank gun emplacements that had been exposed. They only aimed at the enemy, The German anti-tank artillery unit, which did not expect to be beaten so quickly, suffered heavy casualties in an instant, with corpses everywhere.

But the nightmare has obviously just begun here and is far from over. The ISU-152 crews who are busy loading ammunition in the combat room do not care about the feelings of the Fascist lackeys on the opposite side, and quickly type coordinate calibration as quickly as possible. The second wave of bombardment after that was their only target at the moment.
