Chapter 1740 How Do We Fight the Russians?

"German tanks, right at twelve o'clock, aim and load armor-piercing rounds!"

"Loading completed, armor-piercing bullets are ready!"

"Targeted!"

"Fire!"

boom--

The 122mm full-caliber armor-piercing projectile that rushed out from the muzzle fire was so powerful that it instantly smashed through the armor of the poor Panzer IV tank like a meteor hammer stuck to the window paper, and poured into it. The subsequent explosion was like the Chinese New Year's fireworks and artillery shells, causing the entire turret and the three unlucky ones inside to ignite and take off into the sky.

The German army that was dived and bombed by the tactical bomber formation in Figure 2 was not a complete position, but a moving German armored force that surprised Malashenko.

Just at the first moment they met, Malashenko could tell that the German garbage can army in front of him was not simple.

No. 4, who was blown away by a cannon, was just unlucky enough to be the first to die. Behind No. 4, there were a large number of German medium and heavy tanks that had just been bombed by air raids and were in a chaotic formation. It can be seen that the scene was like a bastard who had just been stabbed and the floor was full of bastards crawling around.

The detailed number is unknown, but based on this rough number, it must be at least half the size of a regiment under the German armored division. Right from the start, we met such a powerful opponent, which really surprised Comrade Ma.

"It's really honorable. I'm afraid the main force of an armored division is here, right?"

The road we came all the way was filled with the wreckage of destroyed German vehicles, among which tank wreckage accounted for quite a lot. This is enough to show that the devastating bombardment just now really caught the Germans who had just been driven back to the starting position by surprise. They were bombed before they even had time to complete the re-arrangement. They could not distinguish between east, west, north and south, and suffered heavy losses. .

Based on the formation he had just seen with his own eyes, Malashenko estimated that the German armored forces would have very few remaining troops on hand after such repeated setbacks. Such a big scene.

The Kraut armored force in front of me, which looked like half a regiment, might be the main force of a Kraut armored division.

Considering that the Germans' broken vehicles were bombarded not long after they were driven back to the starting position and were unable to withdraw, such a situation is very possible. The surprise of being able to kill a German armored division with the first blow really made Comrade Ma's mouth turn into a lotus.

"Assault formation! Our troops are superior to the enemy, rush forward and tear these Germans to pieces! Don't give them a chance to fight back!"

Half of the regiment's battered vehicles were blown to pieces and looked miserable. Such an opponent was not worthy of Malashenko's waste of time on tactical encirclement and roundabout attacks. It was the best choice to rush forward and crush these Germans to death. It was almost impossible for the Germans who had been beaten into this state to withstand the fierce impact. Malashenko was betting that this weapon would collapse at the first touch.

Of course, the so-called assault does not mean that all tanks step on the accelerator to death and rush up to fight the Germans with bayonets at close quarters. This is not how heavy tanks work. Doing so will create a disadvantageous situation and lose the advantage.

When the second tank regiment led by Malashenko was close enough to be confident enough to hit the German tanks with a single shot, the IS6 heavy tanks at the front almost all braked and stopped moving forward.

The black muzzle has already been guided by the turret that has been turned in advance, roughly predicting the target's location. After stopping instantly, it only needs to fine-tune the height and direction of the machine to fire quickly. Such efficient combat details are mastered by the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division. It is just a basic operation that everyone knows and every crew is proficient in.

"Fire! Send those Germans to the sky!"

Boom boom boom——

The heavily armored IS6 heavy tanks roared in unison, firing the first wave of armor-piercing projectiles, roaring straight towards the German vehicles that were less than 700 meters away.

There are so many models and varieties of those German shabby cars that are like bastards crawling all over the ground. Not only are the common No. 4 and Sanbald, which have long been outdated, there are even open-top German self-propelled artillery and Tiger-1 Heavy tanks are junk that has been discontinued long ago.

Yes, that’s right, that boxy, crispy shoebox tiger.

Since the debut of Tiger King, Malashenko has almost never seen Tiger Style again.

This is not to say that the Germans have abandoned even the Tigers that have been produced and delivered into service, but that the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division led by Malashenko always fights in the most intense and cruel directions. On the road, they fought head-on with the Germans' main elite, fighting for their lives.

Most of these German main forces and elite armored forces, who are Malashenko's opponents, are also priority targets for the replacement of new weapons. Powerful things like the King Tiger naturally have to be given priority. The retired Tigers were either handed over to other units, sent to the rear for overhaul or transformation, or had been almost completely lost in previous battles, in varying conditions.

All in all, Comrade Ma's smile was indeed brighter than before when he could see a large number of Shoebox Crunchy Tigers again on the battlefield.

"Come on, let's see how I kill you guys today!"

Even the Tiger armor protection, which depends on the distance and luck to withstand the 85mm gun, is simply useless and as fragile as thin paper in the face of the powerful 122mm heirloom bombardment.

In just the first round of firing, more than a dozen German tanks that had just recovered from the disaster and were facing new difficulties were instantly destroyed. Either they were stationary and their life or death were unknown, or the slowly crawling targets were hit by rookie crews. It was not surprising that they could achieve such a brilliant first round of results.

"Russian tanks, Russian tanks are coming! Fight them!"

"What can we fight? Those flies haven't even flown away yet, how can we fight the Russians?"

"Support, we need support! Russian tanks are everywhere, them!!!"

Bang--

Ding--

Before he could finish his words, a cannon shot pierced the front and blew away the 17-ton turret. The Tiger tank, which was regarded as a secret weapon just two years ago, has now become as broken as the Panzer IV. Its 100mm main armor protection is no different from the reinforced 80mm armor protection of the Panzer IV. All beings are equal in front of the 122 heirloom.

The only ones who can still resist are the King Tigers that the German army relies on as the mainstay and the last savior.

But even these heavily armored German behemoths are in a very bad situation at the moment. The 122mm shells that hit from different angles and directions were rumbling and shaking, and there was always the danger of a single shot penetrating the armor, destroying the vehicle and killing people.

"Schlauen, if this continues, we're almost finished! You'd better think about what to do!"
