Chapter 2484 Headless Tiger

Malashenko thought that he was well-informed enough. No matter what weird car the Germans came up with, Malashenko was confident that he would be able to recognize it and know its model, at least until it was a rough model. There should be no problem and I can't run away. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

But that thing, that thing that is bare and headless, does not mean that it simply does not have a turret, but does not even have a fixed combat compartment for a tank destroyer, and is almost just a fucking chassis, Malashenko asked himself I don't know what this thing is in my memory, whether it's the past life or the present life.

It can't be said that he doesn't recognize it at all. At least Malashenko can roughly recognize the body and chassis of that thing and has some impression of it.

Although I haven’t seen this square shoebox again for a long time, as the first vehicle to pose a major threat to our own side on the battlefield since the battle with the Germans, the Malashen completely changed the quality advantage of the armored confrontation between the Soviet Union and Germany. Coe still can't forget the impact that that day of roaring dawn brought to him, let alone the deep impression left on him by the iconic features of the tiger.

Yes, that's right. The vehicle opposite Malashenko, which Malashenko couldn't even name, was actually a vehicle that was used on the battlefield and disappeared for a long time. As far as the leader division is concerned, it has been absent for quite a long time. It was a thing modified from the body and chassis of the Tiger One heavy tank that I encountered again on the battlefield. x ̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ́՝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̌̌

To be honest, if he hadn't encountered a tiger here today, Malashenko would have thought that all of them would have been killed.

Oh, no, they shouldn’t have been killed without leaving any trace. At least there were still tigers in the Soviet Union.

It's just that it's not in the hands of the Germans, but in the test vehicle storage warehouse in Kubinka.

Closer to home, the reason why Malashenko felt surprised or even horrified was because the headless tiger not only looked weird, but also the gadgets mounted on the chassis of the car made people call it "big shock".

Malashenko can say with certainty that it is indeed a combat vehicle, not a logistics supply or comprehensive support and maintenance vehicle.

The most direct evidence is that it is equipped with a combat system with very obvious identification characteristics, but it is not the turret or combat room of a traditional tracked armored combat vehicle, but a complete system without any armor protection, only ammunition. A completely exposed launch pad?

Because of the distance and angle, Malashenko could not actually see very clearly. He could probably only see that there were two launchers on the left and right sides of the Tiger's chassis, and two launchers were installed on one launcher. An object that looks like ammunition. The sum of the ammunition carried by the two launchers on the left and right is four.

That was not an ordinary artillery shell, and Malashenko's intuition told him that there was a high probability that it would not be an ordinary rocket, even though it did look similar.

The front end of the long and thick missile body is in the shape of a streamlined arc. The air control surface installed at the tail of the missile, that is, the four relatively small fins, always gives people a bad feeling at first glance, even Think of something that doesn't feel so good.

What is it?

What the soldiers of the leading division call the "crying drunkard" is an epoch-making weapon in the history of human warfare: the Germans' latest anti-tank missile.

It was also after realizing that these two things, one large and one small, except for their different sizes, actually had such a high degree of overlap and similarity in appearance, Malashenko, who was originally doubtful, almost trembled on the spot. Add a loud shout.

"Armor-piercing bullets! The German tank is at twelve o'clock. Blow it up!"

"Load armor-piercing rounds, Artyom, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"I got it, don't rush me! It's already being done!"

Following Malashenko's unthinking order, the entire crew of No. 177 immediately became too busy to care.

The driver was slamming on the brakes to stop and prepare for static precision shooting. The two loaders tried their best to load the shells while standing in the turret basket. As the gunner, Iushkin shook violently when the car braked suddenly. , trying to do everything possible to aim as accurately as possible, while Malashenko is still holding on to the commander's periscope with both hands and keeping his eyes firmly on the target.

But even though they tried their best to fire accurately, the No. 177 IS7 heavy tank that switched from high-speed maneuvering to static precision shooting still found it difficult to take the lead and gain the upper hand.

Unsurprisingly, the "Headless Tiger" that was originally stationary and parked opened fire first.

Huge launch tail flames violently spurted out from the tail end of the ready-to-fire ammunition set up on the launcher. The orange-red flames pushed the projectile, which was definitely not light, to quickly leave the launcher and fly straight in the direction of the enemy. .

The moment the thing was launched and fired, Malashenko was sure that he could clearly see from the periscope of the commander in front of him that the tail end of the ammunition fired from the launcher was connected to a slender and visible to the naked eye. black line.

The guess that was still uncertain just now finally has a definite answer.

The thing fired by the "Headless Tiger" was not a rocket at all, it was a vehicle-mounted enhanced version of the anti-tank missile used by the German infantry.

A new type of anti-tank missile that is larger, more powerful, and of course has a longer range. There may be other new anti-tank missiles with enhanced performance.

At least before this, Malashenko, who had a wealth of information sources for reference, had never heard that the Germans actually had such a "Tiger anti-tank missile launcher", let alone There have been reports of battles between other friendly forces and similar vehicles.

There is a high probability that this thing in front of you will be used in actual combat for the first time and appear on the battlefield.

As the latest cutting-edge land warfare weapon put into actual combat, it was naturally used in the defensive battle of the Zero Heights that ground flesh and shattered steel. At this moment, it was fighting fires and filling lines in the most important battlefield on Berlin's frontal battlefield. .

In this way, it seems logical to explain why Malashenko met this ghost in this place.

But that's not the most important part right now.

The most important thing is that the large anti-tank missile that has been launched is heading towards our side at high speed. Driven by the violently spraying rocket engine, it is still accelerating and flying faster and faster.

The flight of the subsonic anti-tank missile gave him the last chance. Malashenko, who had no time to think about it, pressed the microphone button without hesitation and roared.

"The missile is coming! No. 131, get out of the way!!!"
