Chapter 1393: Double Blessings

Malashenko, who had been holding the periscope, saw everything that happened in front of him clearly. The shell that destroyed the first Panther did not come from the IS6 that initiated the collision, but from another heavy tank on the side.

In other words, the benefactors who saved Malashenko's life were at least two heavy tanks.

One tank knocked over the leading Panther tank with one shot, and the other tank ran over with full power and stepped on the accelerator, knocking the German Panther to pieces on the spot.

Malashenko didn't know who rescued his brothers from the edge of the cliff at such a critical last moment. No matter who it was, he deserved great gratitude.

Malashenko was going to ask who saved him, but before Malashenko took the initiative to ask, a familiar voice suddenly came from the transmitter hanging next to him.

"Are you okay? Malashenko, are you okay?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Comrade Lao Ma, who was originally curious and puzzled, grinned immediately.

"It's you, Lavry, thank you very much."

Malashenko was right. The person holding the transmitter on the other end of the radio was undoubtedly Lavrynko, but this was not the correct answer.

"Don't just thank me, thank Kirill first, he ordered the car to rush up without even loading the shells."

"Kirill?"

With Lavrynko's reminder, and a glance with his eyes, Malashenko saw a unique and special IS6 heavy tank in his periscope, which was parked next to the Black Panther that had just been smashed.

Realizing what was going on, Malashenko turned around and reached out to turn the radio button without saying a word. After switching the channel to a state where Kirill, who was also the tank commander, could hear him, he immediately spoke.

"Kirill, report the situation! How is your side? Is anyone injured?!"

Kirill's car was a special car approved by the division commander, that is, Malashenko's "ex-wife", the IS6 heavy tank that was recovered from the Prokhorovka battlefield after the war and finally modified by Karamov.

This modified IS6, which belongs to Karamov's "artistic performance" and "thing on a whim", is unique in the entire Stalin Guards First Tank Division! The iconic twin-mounted 7mm Deska anti-aircraft heavy machine gun stands proudly on the turret, majestic and impressive. This alone is enough to confirm that this IS6 is indeed Kirill's car.

Malashenko spoke in a hurry because he was afraid that Kirill might get hurt in the fierce car accident where he just stepped on the accelerator.

You know, even in an ordinary car accident, when two cars collide, it is normal to kill or maim people. There is nothing to be surprised about.

And the battlefield car accident that just took the initiative was that two tanks with a combat weight of more than 50 tons collided directly with each other.

Although the speed is not as fast as the cars on the highway, it is heavier and more powerful in tonnage. Moreover, tanks these days do not have seat belts or airbags. It is very likely that they will crash into the armored bulkhead and kill people.

"Kirill, can you hear me!? Answer me, immediately!!!"

Malashenko, who could not wait for Kirill to reply for a while, became more and more anxious and irritable, and blurted out a rapid tone like a string of cannons again.

The posture was as if Comrade Lao Ma would get out of the car and rush over immediately if Kirill didn't reply.

Fortunately, the worst result did not happen. Soon, the radio came with words that surprised Malashenko and made him feel relieved.

"Comrade commander, my head hit the top cover here. Fortunately, I have the tank cap to protect it. I am just a little dizzy. The others in the car are fine. Several shells fell out of the ammunition rack after being hit. Fortunately, they didn't explode. Let's try to make this baby move again. There should be no problem."

In the combat uniforms of Soviet tank soldiers, there is something that seems inconspicuous but is extremely important: the tank cap.

This thing looks black and unremarkable, but the impact buffering effect of the soft lining cannot be ignored. There are iron lumps everywhere in the tank, and any collision or knock is a big deal. Not to mention that if such a serious car accident happens, if there is no protection on the top of the head, the forehead will be smashed and the head will be split open on the spot.

This unremarkable tank cap is not only used now, but also used by Russian tank soldiers decades later. The rustic armored soldiers who learned from the Soviet tank soldiers also used this artifact from beginning to end. The crew driving the 59 had this thing on their heads, and the crew driving the 99A still had this thing on their heads.

Although it has been continuously improved with the help of modern scientific and technological materials, the material of the tank cap has undergone essential changes, becoming more and more in line with actual needs. However, the basic appearance and shape have never changed, that is, there have been constant minor changes, but no major changes, which is enough to show that this black Soviet-made tank cap is indeed a magical artifact.

The tank cap on his head saved Kirill's life, and the other crew members in the same crew were also protected by the tank cap and avoided fatal injuries, and finally escaped the disaster.

But on the other side, in the paralyzed German Panther tank, the crew members of the German armored soldiers were far from so lucky.

The German armored soldiers who were lying in their respective positions were extremely miserable. Although not all of them died in this unexpected disaster, even those who could barely move and breathe were bleeding, with holes in their heads and multiple fractures all over their bodies.

If it was the German Superman from Anton Star, he might still have the strength to fight, and 152 shots from his head would not be a problem.

But this is Earth, not Anton Star. These mortal German armored soldiers only have the most basic military uniform cloth caps on their foreheads, which can't provide any protection at all.

In addition, the Panther was unprepared, the incident happened suddenly, and was hit from the side, while the IS6 commanded by Kirill did it intentionally and faced the enemy head-on. All the crew members had grabbed the solid parts they could grab and were ready for the collision.

One was intentional, the other was defenseless.

The completely opposite final results of the two parties in the car accident are not so difficult to understand in this situation.
