Chapter 1512 Tiger Death

The Tiger King, whose turret rotation speed has been so low that it is impossible to look directly at it, still has not given up. Perhaps it is the crazy and desperate enthusiasm and courage that support these SS soldiers to continue fighting.

Kurbalov is not interested in the madness of these SS fanatics. Now he just wants to kill the stubborn SS Tiger King as soon as possible, and then go back to Malashenko to complete the task. It's that simple.

"Load the shells, aim and keep firing! Hit the German garbage car until there is no movement!"

As the most powerful heavy tank actually put into combat in the entire history of World War II, the Tiger King does have a strong protection power worthy of its nearly 70 tons of combat weight in this era.

If you change to other ordinary German tanks, you will have been beaten to pieces on the spot after being hit by more than a dozen 122 shells. But the Tiger King, this wild steel behemoth with hideous armor and rough main gun, can still stand firm and continue to fight like a reef in the sea.

For this monster whose defense has reached the abnormal level, the best way is to continue to use powerful destructive firepower to completely destroy it. Kurbalov does not intend to give his opponent a fair chance of competition. There is no shitty chivalry at all.

I have an absolute numerical advantage in my hands, so I must make good use of it.

Use this indisputable huge numerical advantage to crush you alive, until you can no longer make a dying struggle, in other words, it is a complete destruction.

Several IS6 heavy tanks sent by Kurbalov to the attack position and ready to approach and fire have entered the last shooting distance that can penetrate the King Tiger turret from the front.

At the same time, other Red Army tanks that stayed in the rear for fire support have also completed loading.

The black muzzle is pointed directly at the SS King Tiger that can no longer move but is still struggling. What will happen after another volley of fire is almost a foregone conclusion.

But just before the Red Army's gunners were about to fire, the Tiger King, which had already aimed at the target it wanted to attack, took the lead again and roared and fired. The 88mm main gun with a 71-caliber barrel once again sprayed out hot flames, but this time the flames were a little different from the usual state in the blink of an eye.

Boom——

""

Speechless and a little stunned by surprise, this was the truest state of mind of Kulbarov who saw the scene clearly after a loud bang.

The Tiger King did fire again before the Red Army took action, but no one expected that the end after firing would be like this.

The entire barrel was instantly blown apart, shattered, and twisted into a blooming state of four petals. The originally huge muzzle brake had now disappeared along with the small half of the barrel in front, leaving only the back half of the barrel, which seemed to be exploded from the inside by explosives, abruptly inserted into the turret, and there was no movement at all.

"Comrade division commander, the battle is over. The German's broken car exploded by itself."

""

Malachenko, who was far away, could not see clearly what happened at the moment when the fire flashed. After learning the details from Kurbalov, he was speechless.

"It exploded by itself? Damn, this is too ridiculous!?"

The intensive bombardment of 122mm high-explosive shells just now not only caused visible damage to the Tiger King, but also some internal damage that is not easy to find or can't be seen at all, such as the direct cause of the barrel explosion.

The 71-caliber 88mm main gun barrel, which is comparable to a fishing rod, is fragile and vulnerable. This German main gun barrel with a very high scrap rate during processing and drilling is not so indestructible.

Several 122mm high-explosive shells exploded in the front of the vehicle, releasing amazing chemical energy destructive power and expanding rapidly. The explosion flames that rushed upward and spread invisibly caused fatal damage to the main gun barrel that was longer than the front of the vehicle.

This damage did not blow the main gun barrel off or destroy it on the spot, but it left cracks that were difficult to detect with the naked eye and even slightly twisted and deformed.

The SS armored soldiers fighting in the vehicle had no way of knowing that the main gun barrel had become like this. They only knew to continue to fight desperately and fire shells at the Russians, hoping to drag a few more people with them before they died.

The result derived from this was that the projectile pushed by the gunpowder gas at high speed rushed into the gun barrel as usual. Before the rapidly expanding gunpowder gas could push the shell out of the gun barrel and release from the muzzle, the cracks densely covered on the gun barrel wall could not withstand the amazing chamber pressure and instantly broke and spread.

With a loud bang, the propellant gas and chemical energy were instantly released, and the Tiger King's proud gun barrel was directly split in two from the front half. The front half of the barrel and the muzzle brake were completely lost, leaving only the wreckage of the rear half of the barrel that could no longer fire and the hot residual temperature.

The several SS armored soldiers in the car were actually lucky. The shell exploded in the barrel during the process of being fired, instead of exploding directly in the breech block. If it failed to fire in the breech block and exploded on the spot, then this Tiger King would have been killed on the spot, with its head blown off, and there would be no other second choice.

Kurbarov knew that it was no longer necessary to completely destroy it, so he changed his order and ordered to capture prisoners alive instead of completely destroying it. This was what Malashenko conveyed to him on the radio.

Although there were no accompanying infantry on the vehicle, several reckless Red Army tank soldiers still carried out their mission thoroughly.

The first IS6 heavy tank that arrived next to the King Tiger stopped immediately on the spot, avoiding the direction of the King Tiger's body machine gun and the turret with a coaxial machine gun. The IS6 tank commander got out of the turret from the side of the King Tiger, left his vehicle, and charged with the PPSh in his hand. The gun climbed onto the King Tiger's turret in a few seconds.

"Come out! Surrender! Otherwise you will die!"

The Red Army tank commander's German level was obviously not very good. It was difficult for him to speak a complete sentence. He could only shout these simple German words he had learned earlier into the car.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the Germans in the car still did not make any movement.

The tank commander, who could no longer bear it, was reaching for the grenade at his waist, ready to give these stubborn Germans a hard time. At this moment, the turret cover, which had been tightly closed, suddenly made a noise.
