Chapter 1875 Bloodstained Gu Cun (Part 2)
When the huge explosion sounded, Kirill, who was holding his position as the tank commander, had just commanded his car to drive onto the main road in the village, and this surprising and annoying news came from the radio. Read
"From which direction did the shells come! Where are the enemies!? Report the situation!"
If nothing unexpected happened, this was already the third tank of his own that was destroyed, but compared to the loss, what annoyed Kirill more was that he still couldn't figure out the specific situation of the enemy.
The number, position, and distance of the enemy were unknown. Even if they were beaten and searched for the enemy, they should have a general understanding of the basic situation, right? But the news that continued to come from the radio was still annoying.
"The sound of the artillery was covered by the explosion, comrade company commander, the village was full of echoes, and it was impossible to hear which direction the enemy was firing!"
"The road was also blocked, we couldn't move, comrade company commander!"
Damn it!
The huge IS6 heavy tank happened to be destroyed at the intersection where two roads in the village were connected. The turret was directly blown off the body of the vehicle and fell to one side. The two burning wreckages, one large and one small, piled together, completely blocked the way ahead.
Even if the IS6 heavy tank behind had a powerful horsepower, it was impossible to push the wreckage away in such a narrow road. More importantly, there was still a war going on. Who would have the time to play the scrap metal pushing game with you slowly?
The road ahead was blocked, which meant that the road to the north entrance of the village was completely blocked. Kirill, who had just ordered the troops to take emergency action, had no choice but to add a new order to transfer the troops elsewhere.
"Back off! The rear car becomes the front car and go out from the south entrance! Don't crowd in the village, hurry up!"
Kirill's order was conveyed truthfully, and the on-board radio maintained a very clear online communication status, but if this order was really executed, it would be a completely different matter.
If it is an off-road battlefield with open terrain and can run wildly, the IS6 heavy tank can easily turn on the move with its excellent mobility under the blessing of high power-to-weight ratio, and the silkiness is even not inferior to those medium tanks.
But this is not an open field but a village, and there is not enough spacious land for the IS6 heavy tanks to exert their mobility advantages.
Limited by the narrow road, the IS6 heavy tanks can only turn clumsily and slowly. Otherwise, they can only drive out of the village in reverse. This sounds even more unreliable than taking some time to complete the turn, but it is not easy to make the IS6 with only single-flow transmission complete such a difficult turning operation.
The tracks that are locked and flying are doing their best to make the fastest turn. It is too difficult for the IS6 heavy tank that does not have the ability to turn in place to turn around in such a narrow environment. Drivers not only have to take into account the shifting and pushing and pulling of the operating lever in their hands, but also have to pay attention to whether the tank will collide with the house on the roadside if it is not controlled well.
Kirill, holding the commander's periscope, can see everything clearly in front of him. The troops are in the most powerless state now. Kirill swears that he has never been blocked in the village and beaten so badly like now. After fighting out of the village, we must find the right opportunity to kill the group of daring Germans on the opposite side and avenge our comrades!
"Speed up the progress! Set off immediately after the turn is completed, move, quickly!"
Kirill, holding the radio transmitter, is still stepping up to urge his troops. In the case of unclear enemy situation, there may be changes at any time. Kirill is precisely because he knows this that he urges again and again.
But sometimes what you fear will come true, and it is unlucky.
Kirill had just given the order to urge, but he didn't know that the German steel behemoth on another village road, which was close to him and separated by a whole row of houses, had locked the target again.
"Behind the window frame, shoot through the wall! Aim at the Russian turret and fire!"
Kirill was busy commanding the troops to adjust their formation and withdraw from the village as soon as possible, while Karvus and Kosher, two Tiger Kings roaming in the village, were searching for prey.
Judging from the destroyed Stalin VI just now, there must be other Soviet tanks coming to support it. Karvus believed that once the Soviet troops in the village were alarmed by the explosion, they would definitely rush out in full force. It was impossible for a single vehicle to rush over.
But the huge steel wreckage with strong ammunition explosion obviously blocked the next way, so what should we do?
"If I were the commander of the Russians, I would order them to turn around and kill from another exit, or that was the only way."
Kalvus guessed correctly. Kosher followed his idea and searched through the gaps between the houses and the broken window frames, and soon found something.
There were indeed other Russian tanks on the road that was blocked by wreckage across a whole row of houses. Kosher had already seen the target through the completely broken window frame of the wooden house without any glass shards. It was the outline of the rear half of the turret of the Stalin VI.
There was no extra hesitation. To deal with this extremely difficult Russian steel behemoth, every best opportunity to fire must be seized. Especially now, this excellent opportunity that exposed the rear half of the turret to his gun line must not be missed, even if it was a lucky shot through the wall!
Boom——
The Tiger II No. 213 under Kosher's command opened fire again with a startling sound. The rapidly spreading muzzle storm flames were fleeting, and the 88mm full-caliber capped armor-piercing projectiles rushed out with a screaming sound.
First, it smashed the wooden door frame and continued to move forward, and then it also tore the window frame that blocked the trajectory of the projectile to pieces.
The IS6 heavy tank, which had just straightened the vehicle's course and turned 180 degrees, didn't even have time to react. The 88mm armor-piercing projectiles that came in an instant hit the side armor on the left rear of its turret and hit the bull's eye.
The cast armor protection with a physical thickness of 150mm and an arc-shaped defense angle is very thick, so thick that even the Tiger II can only hear a sound when it is fired, but this is not enough to resist the most powerful tank main gun in the Germans' hands: the long 88.
It tore through the armor from the left rear of the turret and poured into the vehicle. The successfully activated armor-piercing delay fuse exploded without any suspense. Dozens of 122mm projectiles stored in the turret were detonated at the same time. A huge earth-shaking explosion resounded over the village again.
"The fourth one! Two to two, Carl!"
