Chapter 1681 Six Alliances Swarm

Swish, swish, swish, swish——

Boom, boom, boom——

This continuous and violent whistling sound sounded like the fastest cold wind in the cold winter night, echoing wildly and continuously. After six consecutive violent whistles, it finally stopped.

Accompanied by a series of loud explosions, if the distance is too close, it is enough to deafen people's ears instantly.

"Car No. 412 is destroyed! What did these bastards use!?"

Malashenko, who was quite close to the explosion point, felt that his head was buzzing now. Even if his command vehicle was not directly hit, the continuous explosions still shook him so much that he felt his head was about to split.

Malashenko, whose hearing was barely damaged, could hear what was being shouted on the radio. He raised his right hand, which felt a little soft from the shock, and grabbed the transmitter and brought it to his mouth, then asked.

"Report! What happened?"

"Vehicle No. 412 was destroyed! Comrade division commander, I don't know what the Germans used! It's behind the smoke!"

"Smoke?"

Malachenko, who was secretly shocked, noticed this key word, and then hurriedly took the commander's periscope at hand and looked at a large cloud of smoke rising from the position not far away.

This large cloud of smoke covered a large area and thickness. It looked like some powerful weapon fired repeatedly in a short period of time, and the excessive propellant failed to burn out quickly.

It took time for the smoke to dissipate slowly, and before that, Malachenko couldn't see what was hidden behind the smoke.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long for the smoke to dissipate. Malachenko, who could feel the passage of time, began to see the culprit hidden behind the smoke more and more clearly, and gradually lifted the fog and cleared the clouds.

When the huge smoke from the launch finally dissipated, Malashenko also saw the true face of the culprit behind the scenes: it was a towed rocket launcher that looked like a hornet's nest, with six thick and short cannon barrels, which meant that it had the ability to fire six rounds in a short period of time.

In terms of structure and shape, it is somewhat similar to one of the three major guerrilla weapons in the future 21st century: the 107 rocket launcher of the Tubie family, but the amount of firepower projection and the sophistication of the design are far inferior to the latter.

Malashenko certainly recognized this thing. This was not a strange equipment that the German army had made in this timeline, but an equipment that already existed in history: the 41-type six-mounted 150mm towed rocket launcher.

The Germans named this thing "Smoke Generator", which really fits its characteristics. The huge smoke produced when it was launched, like a tank throwing a smoke bomb, is simply unforgettable. And Malashenko, relying on the memory brought by his previous life, has a more precise positioning description of this thing, which is very down-to-earth, and is called "hornet's nest".

The caliber of this thing is slightly larger than Katyusha, but the firepower is far less sustained than Katyusha, and the total amount of ammunition projected is far from being comparable to Katyusha. The only advantage may be that this thing is relatively light. If there is no truck to pull it, it can be pulled by a horse or other animals, or even a few German strong men can be found to pull and push it.

The scene when it is fired in battle is just like the down-to-earth nickname given to it by Malashenko: a hornet's nest. Once it is fired, it is like poking a hornet's nest and roaring wildly. The time is very short and the firepower is quite strong. It can be called the German barbarian king and a real man in five seconds. After that, there is a long reload time, which can also be said to be a skill CD.

If this thing is only fired in a single load, Malashenko feels that if it does not hit the key and vital parts, it may be able to take one or two shots and bear it with the thickness of the armor of the Red Army heavy tank. I dare not say that the tank can continue to maintain its combat effectiveness, but at least it can protect the lives of the crew members, and there will always be a chance to abandon the car and escape.

But the problem is that this thing is a fucking six-barreled one. Six 150mm high-explosive rockets hit the face in just a few seconds. Don't say that the IS6 can't withstand it. Malashenko dares to say that even if you bring the third-generation main battle tanks of the 21st century, they will be destroyed on the spot and paralyzed into a pile of scrap metal.

The solid heavy armor protection can indeed withstand the bombardment of 150mm high-explosive charges and will not be directly blown through, but the problem is that the tank is not sealed. There are gaps in a lot of parts such as the sighting equipment, the connection between the turret and the body, and the observation port.

The overpressure generated by the explosion of high-energy explosives can easily penetrate into the vehicle through these gaps. This powerful kinetic energy impact will instantly burst blood vessels and shatter internal organs, severely injuring the crew members to bleed from all seven orifices or even die on the spot.

The magnitude of the overpressure depends on the charge of the incoming enemy ammunition. The larger the charge, the more amazing the overpressure, and the more likely it is to kill people in an instant without destroying the seemingly intact tank structure.

The unlucky IS6 was hit in the face by 6 150mm rockets and was completely paralyzed into a pile of scrap metal.

The front of the vehicle was hit by 4 bullets, and the left and right sides of the turret were hit by 1 bullet each.

The result was that the gun barrel of this IS6 was blown off from the root of the gun, just like a felled tree, leaving only a stump, or a "gun stump"?

The tracks on the left and right sides of the vehicle were also directly blown off from the front part, especially the first guide wheels on the left and right sides were blown away, leaving only the bare connecting rods inserted on both sides of the vehicle body, which was extremely eye-catching.

Several huge black marks of explosions that slightly broke the armor remained on the front main armor defense belt of the IS6, which was extremely abrupt.

No one knew what the situation was like in the car after being bombarded by 6 consecutive 150mm high-explosive rockets. This situation was too rare and the result could only be guessed.

Just when almost everyone was about to give up hope, this seemingly motionless IS6 heavy tank suddenly had its turret cover pushed open from the inside out, and a hand stretched out.

"Great! There are still people alive in the car! Our comrades are still alive!!!"

Surprises always last too short, and only the cruel reality stays with us for a long time.

The bloody right hand had already exhausted all its strength just to push open the turret hatch. Without knowing the body posture of the person who raised his hand in the car, the right hand just drooped like a tombstone beside the hatch that was pushed open, and stood outside the turret.

This hand, which was originally regarded as hope, ultimately brought only cruel reality and the bad news of death.

This also once again proved the cruelty of war. Sometimes you are not sure to win just because you have advanced equipment. Even if you don't penetrate the armor, you can still destroy a thick-skinned Stalin heavy tank.
