Chapter 1299 Comrade Leader Is Left Behind

Shooting the upper front armor of the vehicle with a larger projection area and more fragile is the best choice when attacking the T34 medium tank, which is much better than aiming at the turret but easily missing the target.

However, the decisive mistake under the unequal intelligence eventually led to the failure of the German anti-tank gun group. Similar situations did not only occur in this gun group. Other remaining anti-tank gun groups on the position that opened fire also suffered the same embarrassment. It was the most realistic portrayal of the moment that it was useless to shoot and only heard a sound.

"Come on, continue! Hit its turret, quickly!"

The German gunner, who knew clearly that there was little time left, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The timing of firing was a matter of seconds, leaving it with only one chance to fire. This time it must not fail!

The third 75mm full-caliber armor-piercing shell was pushed into the chamber again. The German gunner, who was under great mental pressure, could no longer hold on. I don’t know if it was because the weather was too cold or he was really under great pressure. Even the hand holding the elevation adjustment wheel began to tremble.

"Aim, aim!"

"Fire!!!"

Boom--

The third shot will definitely kill the Russian wreck and penetrate its turret!

At least in the moment when the muzzle flames burst and the huge flames licked the bullets, both the trembling German gunners and the German gunners who were determined to kill really thought so.

But will the reality that follows really be as expected?

The answer is not necessarily.

The T43 medium tank, which was moving at high speed, directly made a forced maneuver that was almost drifting while carrying people on its back.

The tank riders who were holding the iron railings specially welded on the turret for infantry use were almost thrown off the car, while the T43, which was rolling up snowflakes and frozen soil all the way, avoided possible death and destruction before the last moment.

The sharp armor-piercing cap almost rubbed the left side armor of the turret and moved forward at lightning speed. The red flag logo of the Guards painted on the white primer was directly rubbed in two, leaving a big scar.

The armor-piercing bullet whose trajectory was changed had a trajectory deflection, and it almost whizzed past the head of the tank rider who was closest to it.

If the soldier had not suddenly lost his balance and wanted to lie on the engine hood of the tank to hold on tightly so as not to be thrown off, he would probably have been shot in the head by the 75mm full-caliber armor-piercing bullet on the spot.

"The distance is close enough! Slow down and let the infantry get off the car, Comrade Kurbalov, hurry!"

Under Malashenko's mandatory request, Varosha, who always liked to lead the team as the assault leader, finally settled down and stayed honestly in a special GAZ jeep assigned to him by Malashenko. This is a special battlefield command vehicle made by Karamov, equipped with a high-power vehicle-mounted radio and an extended antenna to facilitate real-time communication with friendly tanks.

Of course, Valosha, who was so excited when he heard the sound of artillery and gunfire, could not really sit in the car honestly. At this moment, he was standing outside in front of the car. At a relatively safe distance, holding a telescope in one hand and a transmitter in the other hand, he spoke loudly. He could see that his tank knights were already close to the enemy position, at the last moment.

If they didn't get off the car, they would really be a living target for the Germans. It was obvious that Valosha, who saw the tanks in the front still drifting, was obviously very anxious.

"I know, Valosha! Let your people down now, don't worry!"

Kurbalov also realized that the young men under his command, who had been holding back for too long, were really fierce at the moment! If I hadn't reminded and ordered, I'm afraid that these veterans who used to drive heavy tanks and are now transferred to drive new high-speed medium tanks without knowing how to move would really do the bad thing of carrying infantry all the way to the enemy's position without slowing down.

"Put down the infantry quickly! A bunch of Sukas! You are almost rushing to the position! Slow down quickly!"

After getting used to driving slow heavy tanks and suddenly getting used to the new medium tanks that can rush forward, these experienced veteran crews really need some time to adapt, and of course they also need the "elegant microphone" reminders from their regiment commander.

The Red Army soldiers holding their own light weapons quickly jumped off the tanks while the tanks slowed down. Some experienced veteran crews did not miss this good opportunity to force slow down and stop. Now if they don't give the Germans on the opposite side a chance to take advantage of the opportunity to fire two shots, what kind of veterans are they?

Boom boom boom——

The power of the 85mm high-explosive grenade is not that great, at least it is not comparable to the 122 heirloom and 152 cult, but this is only limited to tank guns.

If compared with the high-explosive things that infantry can use, then this thing is much more powerful.

You can't rely too much on the accuracy of a round of high-explosive shells that were hastily fired without completely stopping. It is inevitable that one shell hits the frozen soil layer of the trench and the other hits the German machine gun position. To describe it more accurately, it is "aiming at A and hitting B, but hitting C and killing D", which is probably what it means.

But to be honest, all the high-explosive shells are indeed aimed at the German anti-tank guns, which are the priority target.

Regardless of the final result, this is the only thing that can be confirmed at the moment.

After the successive explosions, snowflakes flew and frozen soil fell. The few remaining German anti-tank guns suffered another disaster and nearly half of them were knocked off. Even among the remaining anti-tank guns that were still functional, there were varying degrees of gun crew casualties and a sharp drop in combat efficiency.

But if the German army thinks this is the ultimate nightmare, then it may be too early to be "happy".

Taking advantage of the T43 and T3485's ability to slow down and let the infantry dismount, the IS6 heavy tanks, which are already among the best in terms of mobility among heavy tanks, rushed forward and overtook them. The echelon of sharp knives at the front suddenly changed hands and became heavy tanks. Even Kulbalov, who witnessed all this from his commander's periscope, was a little helpless.

"These guys are getting faster than the other, and I, the leader, am left at the back! This is a crappy car like a tortoise!"

It's okay for Kulbalov to complain. The current situation is indeed that the IS4 heavy tank vehicle of the regiment leader was thrown at the back of the entire offensive echelon. The most real problem that Kulbalov encountered was that even if he wanted to go fast, he couldn't go fast at all. The IS4's off-road top speed was really just that, and it was already outstanding for a heavy tank of the 60-ton level.

At the moment when Kulbalov couldn't help but complain, the first IS6 heavy tank that stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the front had already rolled over the German position and took the lead.

The iconic specially modified double-mounted Deshka anti-aircraft machine gun is unique. It is the "ex-wife" of our Comrade Lao Ma. She was dispatched to the original loader base of the No. 177 crew under Kurbalov. Lear's command vehicle.
