Chapter 2093 Tightening the Noose (Part 2)

Fate played a big joke on Alsim. The armor-piercing shell fired by the Germans didn't explode!

After only penetrating the armor plate on one side of the vehicle, the inner wall of the armor plate on the side where Alsim was leaning against made a huge metal collision sound, and it didn't even penetrate the armor on both sides of the vehicle at once.

"Susuka! I'm so scared. Did the fuse of this useless German shell fail? It didn't explode???"

I thought I would be affected by the strong explosion of the infantry fighting vehicle and die with my comrades around me. Alsim, who survived the disaster, was breathing heavily and was grateful, but he couldn't help wondering what caused this.

Time on the battlefield will not stop because of Alsim's thinking

At the same time, after realizing that the side armor of the vehicle body was penetrated at the rear infantry compartment, but the shells did not explode and did not injure the two crew members in the fighting compartment, the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle that was hit was not scared to abandon the vehicle and flee like some American armored soldiers who knew that the armor was penetrated. Instead, it directly pulled the trigger to fire based on the principle of "If you don't kill me, I will fucking kill you."

"Die! Nazi pig!!!"

Bang bang bang bang--

The fully filled magazine stuffed into the hopper by the loader continued to supply ammunition, and one after another deep red 25mm full-caliber armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets came out of the muzzle flames with a shrill whistle, and rushed towards the German artillery vehicle that had just fired a shot not far away.

The performance of the infantry fighting vehicles in the hands of the Russians was really unclear. The SS soldiers who were busy reloading and aiming in the vehicles were completely unaware of the miserable fate that was coming towards them. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

The kinetic energy was much stronger than that of Deshika's 25mm armor-piercing bullets, and it broke through the already fragile armor of 251 without any suspense.

The hot bullet tore through the flesh with extremely strong residual kinetic energy, and the armor fragments pierced by the armor-piercing bullets that were violently bombarded one after another were also injected into the flesh like countless hidden weapons attacking from the front.

The flesh was no longer alive under the double kinetic impact and tearing. The SS crew, who were still standing in human form in the last second, were torn to pieces in the next second. They were scattered all over the ground in a spray of blood like a smashed watermelon. In just two seconds, no one standing in the open compartment could be seen.

However, all this was far from over.

I don’t know whether it was out of resentment or to completely kill the Germans and eliminate future troubles. Not only did the beaten BMP43 fire at the lonely 251 gun vehicle, but the remaining two BMP43s that were originally shooting at the infantry also turned their turrets at some point. The situation immediately turned into three 25mm machine guns of three infantry fighting vehicles firing wildly at the broken 251 vehicle.

Three crimson tracer fire dragons fired at the same time, and immediately turned the entire 251 into a bright torch with sparks and crackling sounds.

First the fuel caught fire, and then the ammunition exploded. The thin-skinned and large-filled 251 could not withstand such a triple violent attack. After just one round of concentrated fire and each vehicle had just fired a box of shells, it was torn into pieces in a violent explosion.

"Suka! This is too cruel, even more cruel than the anti-tank gun!"

To be honest, if it can penetrate the armor and has sufficient penetration depth, the machine gun firing armor-piercing shells to counter armored targets is indeed more exciting than the single-shot anti-tank guns that fire one after another to counter armor. Alsim, who witnessed how miserable the German 251 died, was not exaggerating, but the actual situation was indeed the case.

From the 251 being hit to the whole car being hit with sparks and exploding into a ball of fire, the whole process was only a short four or five seconds.

That is to say, once targeted, the German crew would not even have a chance to abandon the vehicle and escape. Four or five seconds was not enough for the driver to get up from his seat and jump out of the car. He could avoid the dense armor-piercing projectiles, but he could not avoid the subsequent explosion of the whole car.

First, they were beaten into a pile of minced meat like a meat grinder, and then they were directly cremated and roasted by the strong ammunition explosion. Is this one-stop service of "Soviet humane destruction" a bit too "humane"?

Well, who cares? Anyway, it's very pleasant to serve the fascist bastards like this!

Alsim, who had already reacted from the brief shock, thought so.

The destruction of the 251 gun vehicle seemed to be just the beginning for this group of SS soldiers who were already crazy.

Just as Alsim picked up his AK and prepared to fight the fascists again, behind those SS lunatics, at the further corner of the street, a dilapidated and abandoned wooden house was smashed into countless pieces with a huge crash, and then a scene that was enough to scare all the SS who turned back subconsciously appeared in front of them.

"All crews concentrate their firepower! Fire with the machine guns on the vehicles! Kill all these bastards on the street!"

There is only one kind of Red Army heavy tank that is so huge that it can only be described as "shocking visual impact": the No. 177 IS7 heavy tank prototype is absolutely unique in the entire Soviet Army.

In addition to the powerful 130mm cannon, the IS7 has another biggest feature in terms of firepower output: it has a lot of machine guns.

How much? There are machine guns all over the body.

Even after Shashmurin cancelled the seemingly useful but actually fancy rear-facing machine guns at Malashenko's suggestion, this huge but not bulky super steel beast still has 7 forward-facing machine guns to play anti-infantry firepower.

There is a forward-facing 62mm machine gun on each side of the vehicle body, which is fired remotely and controlled by the new fire control handle that makes Iushkin extremely happy. There is also a 5mm KPV heavy machine gun just above the main gun, and a 62mm DT light machine gun on each side of the breech block. Together with the vehicle body, there are a total of 5 forward-facing machine guns.

As for the remaining two, after Malashenko suggested that the flashy "Teletubbies" machine gun turret design of the IS7 be cancelled, Shashmurin, regardless of the cost, used a more brutal design and directly mounted a twin-mounted 5mm KPV heavy machine gun on the top of the already huge turret of the IS7. Even if it is twin-mounted, it will not look abrupt, but rather a bit slender and thin.

It is worth mentioning that the KPV heavy machine gun is still a test weapon that has not yet been finalized and put into production. At present, only some prototypes have been trial-produced for testing. The ammunition is very crudely "take-it-as-it-is", directly using the 5X114mm bullet of the Simonov anti-tank rifle, and no new bullets have been developed, so the power is absolutely fucking powerful!

As luck would have it, Shashmurin, who was rushing to make a new "super heavy tank", needed a powerful new heavy machine gun that could match the IS7's super body. The DShK used on the IS6 seemed to be a bit "too weak" for the IS7, so the more powerful KPV in the trial production naturally became Shashmurin's choice.

As for the problem that this thing lacks a suitable gun mount and the recoil is too large to affect the accuracy, it is not a problem for the IS7 with a combat weight of 70 tons. What if the recoil is so strong that it can still knock the IS7 away? I will directly connect it rigidly with the tank and wipe out the recoil for you, and shoot the German stick on the head of the twin mount!

What's more coincidental is that Malashenko, a time traveler from the future, is well aware of the famous KPV. Shashmurin's suggestion to use the new KPV heavy machine gun was naturally in favor of it.

After two simple tests at the shooting range to prove that there was no problem with the sample gun installed on the tank, Malashenko directly took away the prototype vehicle, which was not much different from the existing Teletubbies IS7 in history, and prepared to conduct actual combat tests.

Now, when the five forward-facing machine guns under Iushkin's control were firing at full power, Malashenko, who saw that the Germans were doomed to fail, was itching to do it, so he directly pushed open the new turret cover on his head, which was very different from the existing IS7 turret cover design in history, in order to facilitate the crew members to manually control the roof machine gun, and leaned out by himself.

Instead of letting one of the loader and deputy loader who should have been the shooter of the roof-mounted machine gun take the position, the division commander and vehicle commander personally took charge of this "turbocharged" twin-mounted KPV, and with his hand on the movable gun mount, he swung the gun directly. The two super-long black barrels with a sense of conquest were already aimed at the SS German batons who were collapsing on the trail, ready to spray.
