Chapter 2001: The Impartial and Kind Father 7
[Recite the URL three times silently. Did you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you could share it on Facebook for me]
"Damn it! The Russians are using high-explosive shells to bombard us. How could they do that? This is against the rules."
The so-called rule is probably "tank to tank, you have to use armor-piercing shells", at least for the Germans who are used to using small-caliber, high-caliber main guns. No one would be stupid enough to think that the long 88 high-explosive shells can do anything to the Soviet heavy tanks.
Human beings are sometimes quite self-centered, as if "I think this way", then "it should be this way", and the so-called rules are like this subconsciously.
However, this set of so-called rules obviously only applies to the German army itself, not to the Red Army on the opposite side. The miserable moment when they were collectively covered in the face by a wave of 122 grenades is the best proof.
"Alfred is dead, his face is covered in blood! I can't move either, someone help me!"
"I can't hear, my ears can't hear! Damn, can you hear? I can't hear anything!!!"
"It's over, this car is useless! The sight and periscope are all broken, we have to leave here! The Russians are still aiming at us!"
Those who were killed on the spot by the overpressure shock of the 122 grenade are undoubtedly lucky, and those surviving German armored soldiers have to continue to live in the terror that wraps around them. Under the aiming of the black hole of the huge cannon of the Soviet heavy tanks on the opposite side, they quickly think about what to do next to be truly meaningful.
The German heavy tank crews, who were full of confusion on the radio channel, were almost in a mess. No one would have thought that the Russians on the opposite side, who did not play by the routine, would suddenly change to high-explosive bombs collectively to do this.
One or two people were killed in the explosion, and the Tiger King that was still barely able to move and did not break down on the spot was considered good.
Some Tiger Kings that were unfortunately hit by several 122mm grenades at different positions almost at the same time were really in bad luck.
Both tracks were blown off and split in half.
The wide and tilted front of the vehicle was blown with black stains one after another, and the angular anti-magnetic coating pre-applied on the front armor was completely collapsed and disappeared by the huge chemical energy explosion impact, and was physically eradicated.
As for the bad situations that can lead to loss of combat effectiveness and forced withdrawal from the battle, such as the broken barrel of the gun, the muzzle brake being blown away, the gun mirror periscope being broken into pieces, etc., every Tiger King that was hit in the face by a 122mm grenade basically had some of them.
After all, there are very few Tiger Kings that can still maintain complete combat effectiveness after being hit by a 122mm grenade.
In essence, the heavy tank cluster led by Malashenko not only has an overwhelming advantage in quality, but also has a multiple advantage over the German heavy tanks after almost completely killing the German medium tanks in the front.
Coupled with the "indiscriminate and random firing" order issued by Malashenko before, the final result is that almost all of the Tiger Kings in the front were hit by four or five 122 grenades, and some were even hit by seven or eight grenades at once. There may be "ultimate unlucky guys" who were hit by more than ten grenades.
Either they were paralyzed on the spot and could not move and became a pile of scrap metal, or the power compartment was hit and caught fire and smoke, and the surviving members quickly abandoned the car, or the car was blown up on the spot and burned into a pile of fireballs, and there was no chance to abandon the car and escape.
In short, Malashenko did succeed, and this result was the same as he expected, and it was undoubtedly what he wanted.
A rough calculation showed that at least seven or eight Tiger Kings lost their combat effectiveness and became scrap metal after being hit by this round of grenade volleys.
Although only a few of them were killed or exploded on the spot, Malashenko could see that most of the paralyzed Tiger Kings still had people abandoning their vehicles and escaping.
However, as long as these Tiger Kings could be wiped out from the combat system and could no longer continue to fight, it would be considered a goal. The Germans who abandoned their vehicles and escaped could not be considered to have truly escaped. It was okay to let these bastards run for a while. When they were crushed by the roaring Red Army tank tracks, they would still have to face a choice that would affect their future lives.
Survival or destruction, this is a question, it's just a matter of time.
"Continue, high-explosive bombs! Keep bombing, bomb these steel garbage until none of them can move! Fire at will!"
A Tiger King that was bombed to the point of no movement was a good Tiger King. Malashenko really thought so, and of course he asked his soldiers to do so.
That is, before Malashenko finished his order, the remaining dozen or so German medium tanks on the opposite side, plus the last few Tiger Kings that could still fire, didn't know whether they had discussed it on the radio or planned to make a last stand before death.
In short, after approaching the distance of 400 meters, they basically stopped running and began to continue to fire at the Soviet heavy tanks in vain.
Ding bang --

Clang clang --
"Are these stupid fascists mentally ill? They can shoot through ass! It's a pure waste of shells!"
Not only to kill the Germans, but also to mock and humiliate them, this is indeed the consistent style of Ivushkin, who is very angry with the fascists.
The situation that the Germans could not penetrate the armor was not only true for the IS6, but also for Malashenko's unique IS7 prototype.
The German shells that kept hitting the heavy armor of the IS7 were really tickling.
The bulletproof design of the IS7 was close to perfection, and the main armor belt of the entire front projection had no weaknesses at all.
According to the design parameter diagram that Shashmurin gave to Malashenko, the weakest part of the front main armor belt of the IS7 under horizontal incoming ballistics is located in a small arc-shaped armor area on the upper part of the turret front face, near the edge of the top cover.
So what is the specific equivalent armor of this weakest defense area under horizontal incoming ballistics after calculating the equivalent defense bonus of the arc-shaped armor?
Sorry, it just broke through 300 mm, to be precise, it is 302 mm according to the theoretical calculation formula.
In other words, even if you pull the Jagdpanther with the strongest penetration in the German army and use a 128 gun to shoot at the scalp area of the IS7, there will be no other impact except hearing a noise and scratching off some paint.
There is no doubt that this is truly invincible, the iron-faced and selfless father.
Therefore, Ivushkin, who had obtained this design parameter diagram from Malashenko and quickly understood and got started with the IS7 prototype, never worried that the Germans' broken cannons could penetrate the front armor of the IS7.
Or listening to the sound of the German shells ding-ding-bang-bang, but not a single one of them could penetrate, has now become a kind of enjoyment.
That is, when Ivushkin was about to turn his head to see why the shells had not been loaded and when he could fire, Artyom's familiar and powerful voice, which sounded obviously out of breath, finally reached his ears again.
"High-explosive shells are good, loading is complete!"
