Chapter 1334 Ice Storm (Part 3)

"Report the situation, Lavry! I can see the battlefield now, get into combat distance immediately!"

The voice came from Malashenko, and Lavryenko was very familiar with the voice of his good brother who had been with him day and night.

After waiting for Malashenko's "I'm here" message, Lavryenko, who felt that hope was within reach, almost grabbed the radio transmitter beside him with trembling hands and spoke loudly.

"The battlefield situation is critical, we can't hold on! These Germans are all crazy! Come quickly, Malashenko!"

Lavryenko has never lost his composure like this, and he seems to have never heard such an impatient tone and has no impression at all, at least in Malashenko's impression.

From the radio, he can already experience the kind of urgent crisis. After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Malashenko immediately replied to the transmitter in his hand.

"Already here! The first batch of IS6 will enter the combat position immediately. They are the main force with the fastest speed! In addition, prepare to connect to the artillery to provide the artillery direction. The self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers are responsible for providing you with indirect fire cover. The combat deployment has begun and the preparations will be completed within a minute!"

The extremely critical situation did not allow Malashenko to order the ISU-152 to drive into the German's face and aim directly at him.

No matter where the 152 high-explosive bomb hits and how much effect it can have, Malashenko is now giving orders with the mentality of disrupting the German offensive formation and causing trouble for these damn guys.

A 152 grenade indirect fire can at least cause some trouble to the Germans. If you are lucky, it will hit the top of the turret. Don't say you are a black panther or a tiger. Even if you are a tiger king, you will still die on the spot! The only possible outcome is that the head is blown to pieces, and the latest ISU-152 self-propelled howitzer is fully capable of this.

Malashenko, who was determined to do it, not only prepared a battalion of ISU-152s to fire, but also asked the Katyusha self-propelled rocket battalion with the heaviest firepower in the division to join this firepower feast.

A dense rain of rockets hits down, even if you are the reincarnation of the god of war, you will have to die honestly. Whether it is infantry or tanks, you have to go directly on the road. Malashenko, who has not been able to get the precise strike coordinates, is waiting for now.

As Malashenko said, the IS6 heavy tank echelon galloping at high speed in the snowy wilderness arrived at the combat position in a short time and was ready to join this cruel stranglehold battle that has become white-hot at any time.

At this moment, the Germans are still busy dealing with the Red Army medium tanks blocking their way, intending to form a breakthrough to open the current battlefield deadlock.

The German army was obviously caught off guard and unprepared by the sudden joining of a large group of Red Army heavy tanks.

The Panthers at the front were even attracted and temporarily stopped their charge. The large number of Tiger Kings behind them who were responsible for covering the formation also began to turn their turrets. The black hole-like super-long-caliber main gun was rapidly pointing at the target that had entered the range. The moment when the main gun roared was imminent.

Lavrinenko had been curious about the effect of using the 122 main gun to attack the Germans' new heavy tanks. Although there was Malashenko's advice first, it was not that Lavrinenko doubted Malashenko's words or did not believe them. It was simply based on the basic principle that hearing is false and seeing is true.

Lavrinenko really wanted to see with his own eyes what effect the 122 gun, which was invincible against any German tank in previous battles, would have on these new monsters of the Germans.

Those German wrecks look really strong! There is no doubt about that.

But Lavrinenko still hopes that Malashenko is wrong, even if it is just this one time. The standard 122mm main gun equipped on the heavy tank is fully capable of dealing with these monsters. This of course refers to effective penetration over a large area, not the need to accurately aim at the weak points and shoot at close range as Malashenko said.

It may not sound that the difference is too big, and they can all be penetrated anyway, but Lavrinenko, who has extremely rich practical experience, knows that there is an absolute essential difference between these two situations.

Just like now, at a distance of 700 to 800 meters, you let the 122 main gun accurately aim and shoot at the front of the turret protected by the gun shield. Not to mention that the general gunners of the Stalin Guards First Tank Division can't do it, even Lavrinenko, who once worked as a gunner and commander on the T34 for a long time and was nicknamed "Sniper's Eye", personally went into battle, to be honest, he was not sure.

After all, the main gun of a tank is not a sniper rifle. Even if it is a high-caliber 122 heirloom main gun that is considered to be quite accurate in the Red Army, it is simply unrealistic to use it to do such a high-precision job.

Let alone Lavrinenko's temporarily replaced IS6 command vehicle or other IS6 heavy tanks that have just arrived. These steel behemoths that have just traveled a long distance and marched in a motorized manner have not undergone any mechanical calibration of their main guns. After a bumpy and rapid march, the accuracy of the 122 guns that were not as good as the Germans' is now even worse.

But even with so many objective factors and unknowns, and even unfavorable situations, the scene that Lavrinenko expected still came quickly and was expected. After the IS6 heavy tanks with strong armor and powerful guns stopped the body, they quickly turned the turrets and locked the target, and almost played the main gun roar at the same time as the Tiger Kings entrenched in the distance.

Boom boom boom——

The heavy armor duel between the Chang 88 and the 122 heirlooms kicked off. The huge roar of the artillery was accompanied by the violent spread of the muzzle flames and blasts, stirring the surrounding air and snow.

The main gun of the Chang 88 did have to be played first. This was the inevitable result of the favorable battlefield conditions of the German army waiting for the fatigue and using static to control the brake. In the World War II battlefield where neither side had a two-way stabilizer for the main gun, whoever stopped the car first to stabilize the main gun and took the lead in aiming was the boss. This was the absolute battlefield truth.

The first wave of armor-piercing shells, which came with a sharp whistling sound, hit the IS6's armor firmly. The German army on the opposite side, who were quite confident in their new treasure, hardly thought that there was any possibility of failure.

The only fate of these Russian tractors who had just rushed to die was that their bodies were torn apart and scattered all over the ground.

It's a pity that the truth on this land of Russia often does not stand on the side of the invaders.
