Chapter 2430 Behemoth Time (Part 1)

Although I have never seen those huge Russian steel behemoths that look like IS6 heavy tanks but are hugely different. However, the German troops, who were shocked by the powerful Russian war machine, still launched an attack. Armor-piercing projectiles launched by various Cheetahs, Fourth Sisters, and Santuzi then roared in and hit their faces like raindrops.

Against ordinary Red Army tank units, such an attack would be absolutely ferocious, and it would not be impossible to kill a large number of Soviet armored units in one strike.

But in the face of these tall, powerful, rough-skinned and fleshy ISU-152As, the anti-armor firepower that the Germans are proud of is destined to be in vain this time.

Ding-ding——

Dangdang——

crackling——

call out--

Various metal impact and collision sounds followed one after another, which were caused by different incident angles hitting armor plates in different areas and different protection angles.

The only thing they have in common is that none of these crackling armor-piercing bullets penetrated the armor. They were all ruthlessly bounced away by sparks like stones hitting a dump truck.

To be honest, the front protection design of the ISU-152A's fighting room can be regarded as the strongest level in World War II, even stronger than the 250 mm physical thickness armor of the Germans' precious hunting tigers.

The reason is also very simple. The main armor belt on the front of the fighting room of the ISU-152A has not been redesigned or reduced in thickness. It is simply a slight modification of the inclination of the upper armor of the IS6 body chassis and an upward extension until it It can completely cover and protect the entire front of the fighting room, forming airtight protection without dead corners.

Except for the different inclination angles, the main armor belt on the front of the fighting room of the ISU-152A is completely consistent with the physical thickness of the armor on the front of the IS6 car body, which means that the defensive performance of the two is completely at the same level. Just because the defensive inclination of the ISU-152A is not as good as that of the IS6, there is a slight difference. This is a compromise that must be made in order to accommodate the huge 152 gun in the combat room.

If otherwise, assuming the situation permits, Bao Buqi Kejin will design a monster-level self-propelled artillery that does not change the inclination of the upper armor and extends directly upward to cover the entire front of the fighting room for iron wall defense. In that case, it would really be a turretless IS6 carrying the 152. The defensive performance is not to mention the full-caliber armor-piercing bullets of World War II that can't even be penetrated. Even the early first-generation sabot armor-piercing bullets after World War II and the beginning of the Cold War are still one shot. Go up and listen.

But there are no ifs on the battlefield. This kind of ISU-152A, which makes certain protection compromises in order to carry a powerful artillery, is already the best solution that can be made by the existing design.

Even so, this kind of self-propelled artillery with extremely abnormal protective performance can still make any opponent facing it feel helpless and have a headache. Looking at the indestructible super iron turtle in front of it, it feels like a mouse pulling a turtle and there is no way to start. , this is the situation now for the group of German troops on the opposite side who have witnessed the ineffectiveness of their own attacks.

"Damn it! What the hell is this Russian monster? Why can't even one shot penetrate it!? Why!?"

"Damn it, where is its weakness? Who knows where the weakness of this thing is!? How to deal with it!?"

"Shut up! Keep shooting! Paralyze their tracks first, these things don't have turrets, break the tracks and they're done!"

Although there are many people who are angry and out of control, there are also those who can maintain rational thinking. Just like the opposites of light and shadow, black and white, there will never be a shortage of such people. After all, this is a legendary army that once galloped across the entire European continent. Regardless of justice or evil, even today there are still those elites who can think.

The experienced German commander was right. Shooting the tracks and destroying the running gear to replace this huge Russian steel monster is indeed a very good way.

The only lateral aiming ability of this bulky turretless tank is to rely on the running gear to turn. The adjustable range of the large-caliber main gun's left and right fine-tuning range is pitifully small. Once the running gear is destroyed and normal vehicle body steering and maneuvering are unable to occur, these seemingly threatening Russian steel monsters will instantly turn into stupid bears with broken claws.

It can't move and is lame, and it can't bite anyone, and the fragile tracks are definitely much easier to damage than the thick armor plates.

This seems to be a brilliant idea. Breaking the legs of those Russian steel monsters can send them off the battlefield and erase them from the Russians' combat equipment. Even if the Russians in the car are not afraid of death, they will still be killed. If you want to continue fighting, you are helpless and powerless.

The idea is good and the plan is great, but what does this have to do with the difficulty of actually executing your German stick?

If the war can be won by just relying on imagination, then why should we keep summarizing actual combat experience?

That was when the German assault guns and tank destroyers on the opposite side were rapidly reloading and preparing to focus fire on the new confirmed weak point. The Russian steel monsters on the opposite side that had just suffered a round of concentrated fire suddenly stopped advancing, and their huge and sturdy bodies stopped in a trembling way. The swaying muzzle was already in place before it had time to stabilize. Start taking aim.

"Damn! Those Russians are targeting us, they're targeting us!"

"Shut up and load! Prepare to shoot!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"I think we need to get the fuck out of here. You tell the driver to do something."

An unknown German crew member didn't even have time to finish his words. The Russian steel monsters on the opposite side, which had just completely stopped and stopped shaking their muzzles, were already roaring and firing without warning.

The huge roaring sound of the cannon stirred up a terrifying shock wave that was visible to the naked eye in the air, almost rolling up the surrounding land.

The powerful and heavy projectile's exit speed is not very high, and the curved trajectory is very unsuitable for precise direct-view aiming.

But it doesn’t matter. The 152 Divine Religion has never needed to do accurate shooting and accurate hits. This has always been the case in the past and now.

Boom——

Boom boom——

It was not armor-piercing bombs or concrete-destroying bombs, but high-explosive grenades that exploded wildly around the German assault guns and tank destroyers.

The German crews who were originally preparing for a direct hit by armor-piercing bombs were stunned. They never expected that those Russian steel monsters would greet them with high-explosive bombs. These protective properties were quite good in the later period. Type assault guns and tank destroyers.

"Are the Russians stupid? Do they really think these bullet-missing grenades can deal with us?"
