Chapter 1405 "Tiger Death"

The main gun sighting position calibrated in advance according to the 300-meter scale was already ready. The huge steel body with a combat weight of 60 tons was shaken violently during the stop, and even the thick and slender 122mm heirloom gun barrel was shaking up and down.

Iushkin, who continued to hold the elevation wheel with his left hand and had already put his right hand on the main gun firing lever, was waiting, waiting for the gun to stop completely and stop shaking. He was absolutely sure that he could hit the armor-piercing shell in the barrel with a single shot and hit the German's broken car face.

It didn't take long for this moment to arrive, at most less than two seconds after the car came to a complete stop.

"Die, you nazi dog!"

When people's adrenaline is soaring, they often habitually say a catchphrase, which is the same as the later generations who play games and make some wonderful operations and add a swear word, such as "I will eat this computer screen on the spot" by a well-known anchor.

The main gun firing rod pulled down by the right hand instantly drives the breech firing pin to produce an instant mechanical chain reaction.

The primer propellant in the shell is instantly ignited, converted into violently burning chemical energy, rushing forward and gushing out in the barrel. The huge 122mm full-caliber wind cap armor-piercing projectile also rushed forward violently under this effect, whistling out of the barrel with dense rifling in a spiral stable flight posture, accompanied by a huge muzzle storm and flames.

The recoil of the 122 heirloom is so great that the dual-chamber muzzle brake, which is designed to be efficient and can reduce more than 60% of the recoil, cannot completely offset this huge recoil.

The IS4 heavy tank, which weighs a terrifying 60 tons, trembled violently the moment it fired, and even the cold steel tracks dragging in the mud retreated a little bit. The armor-piercing projectile itself, which was whistling towards the target with a sharp sound of breaking the wind, was even more unstoppable!

Iushkin's confidence is not groundless or unfounded. With the blessing of absolute strength, Iushkin is qualified to give himself absolute confidence without any problems.

On the 300-meter distance of the gun mirror, Iushkin, who always stared at the target with his right eye through the main gun sight, can see that the armor-piercing projectile fired by his hand really hit the bull's eye and hit the soul, perfectly achieving the optimal strike effect he expected.

The 122mm wind cap armor-piercing projectile that hit the right face of the Tiger King turret accurately had strong armor-piercing kinetic energy. The physical thickness and inclination of only 180mm were almost equivalent to the homogeneous steel protective armor that could not be ignored. It was not enough to offset such a fierce attack. It was pierced by the 122 armor-piercing projectile that smashed the wind cap on the spot.

No accidents happened, and there were no other possibilities.

In order to facilitate quick loading, the Tiger King crew filled the first ready-to-fire ammunition rack at the back of the turret with 88mm fixed ammunition. In the end, they will pay a painful price for their behavior that may not be called "stupid".

The amount of charge in the warhead of the projectile is so large that the 122 armor-piercing projectile, which is comparable to a small-caliber high-explosive bomb, successfully triggered the armor-piercing delay fuse after penetrating the armor and exploded on the spot.

The raging flames, carrying hot bullet fragments, rushed through the narrow turret space, destroying everything around.

The first ammunition rack at the rear of the turret, which was only 60 centimeters away, naturally became the object affected by the explosion.

The 14 fixed 88mm shells on it quickly became the rocket propellant for the launch of the "German Killer Space".

Of course, the Tiger King turret, which was too heavy, was not as easy to be blown away as the small-headed son of the Black Panther.

However, even the thick-skinned Tiger King could not avoid the miserable fate of having its back of the head blown open and half of its top of the head removed on the spot. If it were a metaphor for a person, it would be similar to the US President Kennedy who had his head blown off by Oswald's gunshot. In short, both had a "skylight" on their heads.

The Tiger King, whose rear half of the turret was almost blown off, turned into a steel crematorium with scorching flames and scorched black smoke in a loud bang and flames. Even the tracks on both sides of the vehicle were broken into several sections by the strong impact of the explosion.

The "tiger death" of the first Tiger King was just the beginning.

As more Stalin heavy tanks entered the last 300 meters of effective penetration distance, the already tiny armored confrontation advantage of the German Tiger King was completely offset, and it could even be called a reverse reversal.

It is true that the weaknesses of the Tiger King and IS6 are on the front of the turret, near the root of the gun, but the front of the IS6 turret can penetrate the weak point area, which is obviously much smaller than the fat and big face of the Tiger King.

Considering the final state of the battle between the two sides at this moment, both were stationary and stopped to shoot at each other, the IS6 heavy tank, which had a huge advantage in both quantity and armor resistance, was obviously superior to the King Tiger and had a better combat power.

When dealing with the IS6 heavy tank cluster in motion, the German armored soldiers, who were still feeling good about themselves, soon felt the huge pressure coming at them like a mountain.

Boom boom boom boom——

The Tiger Kings, who intended to fight to the end for the slim hope of the battlefield, kept firing, and the 88mm capped armor-piercing shells that were ejected from the barrels hit the front armor of the enemy tank's turret one after another, but there were still very few that could achieve actual significant effects.

What's even more sad is that due to the lack of actual combat experience against this new type of enemy heavy tank, many of the Tiger King crew gunners who were fighting IS6 for the first time were fighting completely based on the word-of-mouth experience that "the enemy's weakness is at the root of the gun" and only fired at the root of the gun without thinking about whether it was left or right.

The final result derived from this is that the IS6 heavy tanks, which stood tall like reefs in the sea, suffered much less losses than the Germans in the frenzied close-range battle.

On the contrary, the Tiger IIs, which had great weaknesses and could be fully summarized in a simple sentence, were beaten badly. One by one, they were pierced in the face by the continuous and continuous bombardment of 122 armor-piercing shells, and ended up with an extremely miserable result of exploding on the spot.
