Chapter 786 Mobile Shooting

After struggling in the nightmare for almost a year, I finally got a new gun, which was enough to destroy KV1's new Panzer IV tank head-on within a regular combat range.

Not long after the joyful excitement passed, the Russians' newer heavy-duty steel monster rumbled across the street and came into view.

Faced with the embarrassment of having the proud new main gun hit the front armor of the opponent's car body but being bounced off on the spot, the anger, despair and shock in the heart of the German armored commander at this moment can almost be imagined.

"Damn Russians! Damn heavy tanks! Why are the tanks in our hands always obsolete in front of the Russians?!"

If it weren't for the fact that Malashenko, a little butterfly from another dimension, suddenly broke into this timeline and flapped its wings, the latest 75-gun German Panzer IV tank would have been enough to deal with all types of Soviet tank units at this stage, even if it was armored He was still extremely fragile, but at least he had the strength to fight back, so he wouldn't be pinned to the ground and left to be beaten.

But unfortunately, with Malashenko, a peaceful war traveler who wants to survive the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet tank technology tree that has been tampered with beyond recognition is destined to become a nightmare for the German army.

If there is one thing that Malashenko hates most on the battlefield, then it is that the reckless Germans dare to use armor-piercing bullets to hit his precious car and take the initiative to provoke him. This is the most intolerable thing that concerns Malashenko's life. , the idiots who dare to do this must be eliminated.

"Seryozha, change gears! Reduce the speed to below 10 kilometers per hour and keep moving forward!"

"Iushkin, let me see if you can do what you usually brag about! Kill the Long Fours closest to the street!"

Old-fashioned tanks that were not equipped with main gun stabilizers during World War II were almost impossible to fire while moving, but this was not always the case and there were exceptions.

The inability to fire accurately while moving is simply because of the uneven off-road road surface, which will cause the main gun that is rigidly connected to the turret to tremble along with the tank itself. Of course, the main gun sight that is also rigidly connected cannot escape the exception, like A running sniper cannot kill an enemy while moving.

But if the tank itself travels smoothly and is very close to a stationary shooting state, it becomes possible to fire accurately while moving.

Malashenko, who had rumbled past most of the ruins and bomb craters, was now directing his lead car on a relatively flat urban road with no obstacles or ruins.

In this case, slowing down the vehicle speed further reduces the shaking of the vehicle body caused by high-speed driving. Combined with the good shock absorption and solid stability brought by the heavy tank's wide tracks and huge tonnage, it is possible to fire and hit the target while moving. Although the probability is not absolutely accurate, it is at least greatly improved.

The long-barreled Panzer IV tanks lingering not far from the street entrance and turning their turrets toward him are Malashenko's biggest concern at the moment.

Looking at the German armored force, there is only one Panzer IV tank equipped with a 75 mm long main gun, which can threaten its own IS1 prototype within a normal combat distance. These extremely threatening primary targets must be eradicated first, while maintaining Firing on the move was the bold tactic Malashenko decided to try when he wanted to take care of both ends.

The distance between the No. 4 tanks at the street entrance was about 300 to 400 meters. From this distance, it was absolutely safe to fire at tank-sized targets while parking! If Iushkin misses, Malashenko will throw the embarrassing guy out of the turret and kick out the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment to lead a Mosin Nagant as infantry.

But the problem is that the current situation is to fire on the move. Although I have done things like bombarding German positions on the move before, but that was when I was close enough that I could use the main gun sight to clearly see how distorted the expressions on the Germans' faces were. distance, and the target of the bombardment is still the size of a defensive position.

To be honest, even Malashenko himself was confused when he fired at a tank while moving at a distance of three to four hundred meters, because this was really the first time a big girl got on the sedan! At the moment, I can only pray that Iushkin, who is known as the strongest gunner of the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment, can give me some help. If he misses, it will not only be embarrassing, but the German army on the opposite side will seize the opportunity to shoot again.

"Armor-piercing bullets are good!"

"Iushkin! It's up to you, let those German guys see how powerful you are!"

"I know, I know! I'm going to kick the ass out of these Krauts!"

There is a saying in China called "The emperor is not in a hurry with his eunuchs", but if this sentence is applied to the current No. 177 IS1 prototype heavy tank, it has to be said in a different way, called "the commander is in a hurry and the gunner is in a hurry", or even "the gunner is in a hurry than the tank." Long is still urgent."

Iushkin, who was in charge of gunnery and shooting, was under great psychological pressure. Iushkin, who had already killed dozens of German tanks, knew very well that if he missed his shot, there might be four or five more shots. German armor-piercing bullets greeted him at the same time.

One of the four or five rounds of armor-piercing bullets may hit a tricky position and pierce the main armor belt on the front of the tank. For example, the cast gun mantlet on this prototype tank has a physical thickness of only 100 mm.

Although the semi-curved mantlet has a very high chance of ricocheting, the only place that can be penetrated 100% of the time is the palm-width horizontal area in the center of the mantlet.

But those who dare to risk their lives and repeatedly try to bet on luck on the battlefield often end up with bad results. Ever since he was a child, his luck has always been extremely bad. Iushkin has never won even a child's house game. I believe that my character will suddenly explode and I will be lucky. No matter what, this shot will knock out the No. 4 tank that has been set in the sight scale!

Seryosha held the joystick in his hand and pedaled the accelerator and brake pedals in a burst of extreme speed, forcibly slowing down the tank in the shortest possible time and causing a violent shaking of the vehicle body.

The swaying No. 177 IS1 prototype still continued to drive forward on the wide street, without falling into the troublesome low-speed turtle crawling state due to the slow engine speed after parking.

The sight of the main gun in front of him was still shaking slightly. Iushkin held his breath. Big beads of sweat dripped from his forehead along the brim of his tank hat to the bridge of his nose. He continued to concentrate without noticing.

In the moment when the flow of time seemed to slow down countless times, Iushkin found out the vibration pattern of the gun mirror in the current constant speed driving state and adapted to this rhythm. Iushkin, who chose to believe in himself at this moment, finally took action decisively.
