Chapter 1900 Synthetic Assault (Part 1)

No matter what Major General Schmidt and his partner, the Chief of Staff, thought or worried, the coming cruel reality was still not subject to human subjective will, roaring and rolling directly on their faces. Reading

The first wave of offensive under the personal command of Malashenko continued, and the heavy tank cluster that came up again in one go soon appeared in the field of vision of the German troops stationed on the second line of defense with infantry.

"Load armor-piercing shells, aim at the target! Prepare for battle!"

The huge and bulky PAK 43 88mm heavy anti-tank gun was the most powerful anti-armor firepower in the hands of the German army on the position. This powerful anti-tank gun with the same firepower as the King Tiger could take away most of the main tanks of the Soviet army you can think of, including the latest T43 medium tank, one by one, like a hammer hitting a walnut.

But there are only two rare Soviet tanks: the IS6 heavy tank, which is rare in number and only exists in the Soviet Guards tank unit, and is equipped in small quantities as the mainstay of the force, and the IS4 heavy tank, which is even rarer than the former.

The mainstay anti-tank firepower of the German army, the 88, cannot hit these two super iron turtles. This has been proven by countless actual combat examples. These two Soviet heavy tanks with strong armor and powerful guns are definitely the most terrible ground nightmare for any German army.

Fortunately, these two super tanks may be due to the complex process or the cost, and the number of them in the Russian front-line tank units is not large. Not to mention that they only appear in the elite Guards tank unit, in most cases, there are only a few mixed with other more conventional Soviet tanks.

As long as the number is not too large, the German army will always have a way to deal with it, but the price paid is a little higher.

But now, when the German gunner, who had issued the order for the entire gun crew to start loading, aiming, and preparing for battle, raised his telescope and looked again at the incoming enemy that he had only taken a rough look at before, the expression of surprise that "his jaw almost dropped to his feet" was not enough to describe his vivid expression at this moment.

"How come there are so many!?"

The Soviet tank troops that swept in with overwhelming momentum were magnificent within the field of vision of the telescope in hand.

The tanks that rushed to the front were all the IS6 heavy tanks that gave people a headache or even fear just by hearing the name.

And there were some slight changes in the appearance. God knows why the Russians hung their storage boxes on the side of the tanks as skirts, and even hung them around the turrets in a half circle. Maybe it was to enhance defense? Who knows? Such a big iron box can't be solid, right? If that were the case, how could these Russian steel behemoths run so fast?

The momentary random thoughts could not stop the fear lingering in his mind. Unconsciously, even his hands holding the telescope were shaking. The German gunner pretended to be calm and planned to order to fire without thinking about anything. He used the advantage of the long 88's range to fire a shot at the opponent to see the effect.

"At twelve o'clock, 1,200 meters away, the leading Russian heavy tank!"

"Reloaded!"

"Aimed!"

Before the half-open mouth "fire" could make a sound, a whistling roar like a train whistle sounded in the ears of the German gunner.

Woo——

"Artillery! Get down!!!"

Boom——

Boom boom boom——

The IS6 heavy tank, which was large and rushed to the front, did block the German army's vision to the rear to a certain extent, but more importantly, it attracted the German army's attention with its terrifying body with great visual impact.

Following closely behind the IS6 heavy tanks, the ISU-152 self-propelled artillery group accompanying the assault, located in the center of the attacking formation, has now stopped and lowered its muzzle to aim at the German positions that have entered the visual range for direct aiming test firing. The large-caliber grenades that roared like an old cow breathing and a train whistle were fired by them.

"Accurate hit! The enemy's anti-tank gun has been destroyed!"

"Continue to load, high-explosive bombs! Quick! Blast these stupid X-ers back to the womb!"

The ISU-152 self-propelled artillery, which was modified based on the chassis of the later IS2 heavy tank, has powerful armor protection. Because of the indirect influence of Malashenko, it is even tougher than the ISU-152 in the existing history. The ordinary German anti-armor firepower can't do anything to this monster, and there is no problem in following the heavy tank cluster to coordinate the attack.

Not planning to waste time by calling for artillery fire does not mean that Malashenko will be so stubborn as to let his troops withstand the German anti-armor firepower and launch a strong attack regardless of losses.

ISU-152, which was rarely used in direct combat in the past, was taken out and pressed by Malashenko in the first wave of attack this time, in order to launch heavy fire suppression during the charge without delaying the progress of the assault, and to uproot all the German heavy firepower points that dared to show their fangs on the position, leaving no trace of struggle.

This accompanying high-protection mobile heavy artillery firepower is the most powerful heavy firepower support for the heavy tank cluster that is advancing rapidly.

The power of the 122 heirloom is already great, but the power of the 152 justice is even greater.

The German army, unprepared, suffered heavy losses from the 152 high-explosive grenades. Seeing the enemy's heavy tank cluster charging and approaching, they subconsciously thought that the Soviet army would not prepare for artillery fire and lost the lives of these German soldiers.

The PAK 43 heavy anti-tank gun half-buried in the gun position could not hide its huge body and was completely smashed to pieces by the 152 grenade that whizzed from a kilometer away.

The gun carriage and breech block were blown crooked and turned into a pile of hot steel twists just out of the furnace. The gun barrel was blown off from the breech block and flew backwards. Due to the strong impact, it was directly inserted into the ground, like a telephone pole that was severely tilted by the strong wind.

The German gunner, who had half his mouth open and had no time to order to fire, disappeared with his squad of artillery members.

After the whistling 152 Justice left a huge crater, it disappeared without a trace.

The first wave of heavy artillery barrage was highly targeted. Regardless of whether it was a direct hit or not, it was always right to aim at the anti-tank gun positions that the German army had exposed. The German anti-tank artillery troops, who only focused on aiming at the enemy and did not expect to be hit so quickly, suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and corpses were everywhere.

But the nightmare was obviously just beginning and far from over. Those ISU-152 crews who were busy loading ammunition in the battle room did not care about the feelings of the fascist lackeys on the opposite side. They quickly fired the second wave of artillery after the coordinate calibration as their only goal at the moment.
