Chapter 2395 Fire Suppression
The German anti-tank missiles spitting out blazing tail flames flew out at a very close distance. The anti-tank missile launch positions preset in advance were so concealed that people could not even notice that this kind of small body was not even noticeable. weapons.
Distance, hit rate, flight time
All the crucial shooting elements have been taken into account. The commander of the German anti-tank missile position, who has practiced mastering this new weapon countless times, is quite confident that he can hit the target at the current shooting distance. He is very sure.
But being able to hit is one thing. Whether it can produce effective damage after hitting is another matter that is completely unrelated and completely different. It cannot be directly equated.
Boo hoo hoo——
Boom boom boom——
In just one salvo, at least six bullets hit simultaneously! This is really rare for the German army, which has only nine launchers in the entire anti-tank missile position. What else do you want with a first-time hit rate of more than 65% in actual combat? It has fully met the needs of actual combat. The German anti-tank missile soldiers who witnessed the missile hitting the Russian tank and hitting the bullseye roared excitedly on the spot.
"Okay! Hit, hit!!!"
The excitement at the moment disappeared before it could subside, and the irritation and frustration soon followed.
"Damn it! That Russian monster is still moving and bursting out of the smoke!!!"
Since the first time he encountered the German anti-tank missiles, Malashenko was glad that his early foresight was just right and ready to be used, which was the external modular composite armor that was originally designed to resist the Iron Fist.
Although it is the same defense enhancement kit, it is true that different vehicles can have different qualitative changes when used.
The medium tank uses the German Panzerfaust and tank-killer rocket launcher direct-aimed bombardment that can well withstand the escalating power and ever-increasing diameter of the projectile.
And if a heavy tank that can withstand the fierce bombardment of the Iron Fist and Tank Killer head-on uses this thing, it can easily go to a higher level and directly transform into a wall of sighs that can swallow German anti-tank missiles head-on.
The Kraut anti-tank missiles in this timeline were squeezed by the strong anti-armor pressure on the front line and their power was greatly increased. The penetration depth was increased by simply and crudely increasing the charge.
The test results show that this kind of size is not too small. The feeling of holding it in your arms is not much different from holding a 122 propellant cartridge. The static penetration depth has reached an extremely exaggerated 350 mm level, which is much better than that of the previous model. The power of the immature anti-tank missiles of the Germans has reached a whole new level in history, and it is enough to threaten IS as the new main force of the Red Army.
But this is only compared to the first batch of mass-produced basic IS6 heavy tanks.
Starting from the second batch, the latest IS6 heavy tanks shipped from the factory have a built-in rubber interlayer in the main frontal protection armor belt to enhance the resistance to chemical energy metal jets. In addition, additional modular composite armor can be added through an upgrade kit to further enhance its resistance to damage.
In other words, except for the early first batch of IS6, there is a high probability that it will be penetrated by the German anti-tank missile from the front when it is naked. The mass-produced IS6 in the second batch of specifications is enough to withstand bombardment in a naked state. Even if the Germans launch more powerful anti-tank missiles, they have already prepared in advance: additional attachments. Armor kits are that.
Because of this, the German army was so confident that they even cheered when the anti-tank missiles hit the target, but in the end they only had the most unbearable tragic effect.
The flames and smoke that rose up instantly when the missile exploded covered the entire front of the tank, but after the smoke was blown by the wind, the flames quickly disappeared, and the vision was restored again. What emerged from it was not the burning wreckage of Russian tanks with constant explosions, but the IS6 heavy tanks that continued to press the accelerator to death one after another without suffering any fatal injuries and continued to impact.
"The anti-tank missile hit directly, and the additional armor on the front of the vehicle was damaged!"
"Don't worry, keep moving forward! The machine gun suppresses the Germans' firing position and prevents these Nazis from reloading! Quick!"
The batch of anti-tank missiles that were fortunate enough to be captured in previous battles helped Malashenko a lot. A thorough study of these missiles allowed Malashenko to quickly figure out its basic design, general performance, and of course the more important thing. weaknesses, and enough to develop targeted tactics and strategies to counter them.
"This is a weapon with certain guidance accuracy but very difficult to control. Tests have shown that it cannot accurately hit long-distance tank-sized targets through long-distance control. So on the battlefield you will probably encounter Germans using this thing to resist Shoot at close range. When it fires and is exposed, the reloading phase is your opportunity. Suppress or destroy it to avoid it from firing again. If you cannot use the anti-tank gun, then the vehicle-mounted machine gun will be your best choice. Remember to have quick eyes and quick hands.”
The performance analysis meeting on the Germans' new anti-tank missiles that Malashenko personally hosted and explained is still echoing in my mind. It was a conference for all tank commanders and combatants in the entire division. All tank commanders and commanders above the platoon level were present and participated. The purpose was to explain clearly how to deal with this German thing.
Among those who attended the important meeting, of course, was the company commander who had just swallowed two anti-tank missiles in the additional armor at the front of the vehicle at this moment. He clearly remembered the analysis and explanation of the division commander and immediately ordered a counterattack.
"Machine guns suppress the Germans' firing positions, open fire!"
Da Da Da --
Boom Bang Bang --
Not only the 62mm machine gun coaxial with the main gun, but also the 7mm Deshika high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun on the roof was firing together.
The people in charge of the operation were of course not the tank crew members, but the mechanized infantrymen who followed their own tanks after getting off the infantry fighting vehicles.
In repeated simulations and actual combat, they were already familiar with what to do in the final stage of getting off the infantry fighting vehicles and following the tank charge.
There is no reason not to make effective use of the anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof as a mobile firepower point. Those soldiers who are quick-witted and quick-handed have already climbed onto the moving IS6 heavy tanks at this moment, lowering their bodies and firing their guns under the cover of the turret.
The new circular machine gun slide rail support allows Deshka to easily switch between the two shooting modes used by the crew outside the hatch and the infantry behind the turret. Just grab Deshka and turn it. This is another small improvement design added to the second batch of IS6 heavy tanks in addition to the defense enhancement. The proposer is still our comrade Malashenko.
When more than a dozen leading IS6 heavy tanks launched a crazy barrage of 7 plus 62 machine guns on one car, mixed with those 25mm machine gun shells whose mobile shooting accuracy is not very good, but the muzzle is still "boom boom boom" and uses the firing rate to make up for the accuracy.
The German anti-tank positions, which had just been cheered on, instantly turned into a raging field of flying sand and rocks and dust.
