Chapter 2264 Don’t even think about the next life
“Open fire! Concentrate fire! Kill the Russian heavy tanks first, aim the 88 gun, quick!”
When the rising flames and smoke gradually dissipated, the huge and terrifying steel beast was like a giant bear waking up from hibernation. Its ferocious and huge body was scary enough just from a distance. If you are really fired and hit by this thing, you won’t even have the chance to feel scared.
The Germans were so terrified of the Soviets’ famous Stalin series heavy tanks that as soon as the first IS6 heavy tank rushed out of the smoke, the large number of remaining German anti-aircraft artillery fire points turned their guns and prepared to concentrate fire. The first to bear the brunt was the 88 gun, which was relied on as the core anti-armor firepower and was known as the “anti-everything gun”.
"Armor-piercing shells! Quick!"
"The Russian tank is still moving, my god, I'm aiming at him!"
"Reloading complete!"
"Fire!"
Boom--
In order to enhance concealment and reduce the exposed frontal area, the gun shield was specially removed. This 88 gun, which only had a cross-shaped base bracket and the gun body, was hidden behind a dilapidated and incomplete building that was probably bombed to pieces by the previous Red Army Air Force bombing. The full-caliber armor-piercing shells that came out of the barrel rushed straight towards the target with a shrill scream.
Swoosh——
Ding-bang——
"Hit! I hit! A large piece of the Russian's armor was blown off, I saw it! That tank is finished, hahaha!"
The German gunner, who succeeded in one shot and hit the target directly without test firing, was dancing with joy. He saw with his own eyes that the huge Stalin heavy tank was directly hit by the armor-piercing shell fired by his hand, and the tracer ballistic trajectory accurately hit the front of the tank's body, about the upper front position.
A large piece of armor visible to the naked eye was torn off from the tank and directly collapsed. Under the strong kinetic energy impact, it flew three or four meters away before falling to the ground. The crudely made Stalin heavy tank of the Russians was really not durable, and the armor was of poor quality.
No matter what others think, at least in the heart of the German gunner who was so excited that he was dancing with joy and almost shouted loudly and danced on the spot, he really thought so. The Stalin heavy tank, which was rumored to be more and more outrageous and almost invincible, did not seem to be that difficult to deal with. It was indeed so.
However, just when the German gunners were still excited, the gunner who was holding a telescope and commanding the entire gun crew screamed on the spot.
"It's still moving! The Stalin tank is still moving! Damn it, it's turning the turret and coming towards us!!!"
"What!?"
The gunner, who was 100% sure that his eyes were not blurry and he had not seen it wrong, could not believe it when he heard this.
Such a large piece of armor was blown away. I saw it clearly. You told me that thing can still move, has not been destroyed, and is still aiming at us. How can this be possible?
"Damn it! It's really still moving, it's aiming at us!"
"Armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells! Load armor-piercing shells!!!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"
The German anti-aircraft artillery on the gun position that "shocked my mother for a whole year" did not intend to give up. One by one, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and continued to load and aim desperately, preparing to shoot again. The result this time will eventually be different.
But it may not be the direction the Germans hope for.
"Eleven o'clock! The target is behind the low wall, 88 gun! Hit the wall with grenades, ready!"
"Aimed!"
"Okay! Fire!"
Boom--
The thin layer of snow on the road just below the muzzle was instantly blown away by the heat wave from the muzzle and lifted into the air. The unique violent beauty of this flame wrapped in snowflakes contains destruction and death. All fascists who are inspired by the power of the father will eventually die on the spot.
Boom--
Comrade the commander is right. When the front projection area of the enemy target is very small and it is not easy to hit directly, and it is not a hard armored and highly protected target, it is indeed very effective to use large-caliber high-explosive grenades to kill the enemy in a wide range.
The 122mm high-explosive grenade exploded on the ground close to the low wall, setting off a huge wave of flames and a storm of shrapnel. The high-speed blast that hit instantly blew away all the German artillery groups that were only a few meters away from the center of the explosion, and at most no more than ten meters in a straight line.
Of course, it was not in the form of a complete body, but in the form of large pieces of debris with broken limbs and arms and legs flying at high speed, and was directly blown away.
So much so that after a loud bang, even on the outer wall of the warehouse more than 30 meters away, there were large clumps of splashing blood and broken meat on the wall, scarlet and dazzling, and probably no one will ever know which unlucky German DNA this belonged to.
This 122mm grenade with a range of damage did not cause the ammunition to explode, but it killed the entire German artillery group and cleared all the unprotected soft targets affected by the killing range. Even the 88 gun barrel after the explosion and smoke dissipated was already twisted and twisted into steel twists, and there was absolutely no possibility of continuing to use it.
"Kill the target!"
"Good job, keep moving forward! Charge!"
The huge IS6 heavy tank was still spewing thick black smoke and moving forward, and the German artillery crew that was taken away by a shot would never have the chance to know that the shot they just fired did cause substantial physical damage to the IS6 heavy tank that was the first to bear the brunt, and a large piece of the armor was indeed blown away, which was effective.
However, that was not the main defensive armor of the IS6 heavy tank, but a modular composite armor that was added to the upper armor through a defense enhancement upgrade kit and was specially used to resist chemical energy ammunition attacks.
To put it in a down-to-earth way, it was a "steel sandwich" with a layer of rubber between two steel plates. The weight was indeed "very light", which was very light compared to a whole piece of solid rolled homogeneous steel armor of the same volume. In addition, the detachable external kit was not permanently welded and was not so strong and reliable, so it was actually quite normal to be blown away three or four meters by a high-intensity kinetic energy impact.
However, being able to blow away the external armor was only the first step.
If you want to really hurt this tough IS6 heavy tank, you have to penetrate the main armor belt. Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort to just make a noise and scratch a layer of paint.
And if the company commander can't do this, you'd better forget it and forget about it in your next life.
