Chapter 2430: Giant Beast Moment (Part 1)

Although they had never seen those huge Russian steel behemoths that looked like IS6 heavy tanks but were very different. However, the German army, shocked by the powerful war machine of the Russians, still launched an attack. The armor-piercing shells fired by various cheetahs, four sisters, and three snipers immediately whistled and rushed in like raindrops.

Against ordinary Red Army tank units, such an attack is definitely fierce, and it is not impossible to kill a large number of Soviet armored units in one wave of attacks.

But facing these tall, mighty, and thick-skinned ISU-152A, the anti-armor firepower that the Germans are proud of is doomed to be in vain this time.

Ding bang——

Dang ding——

Crack——

Swoosh——

Various metal impact and collision sounds followed one after another, which were caused by different incident angles hitting armor plates in different areas and different protection angles.

The only thing in common is that none of these crackling armor-piercing shells really penetrated the armor. All of them were mercilessly bounced away in the sparks like stones hitting a dump truck.

To be honest, the front protection design of the ISU-152A's fighting compartment can be said to be the strongest level in World War II, even stronger than the 250mm physical thickness armor of the German Jagdtiger.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. The main armor belt on the front of the fighting compartment of the ISU-152A has not been redesigned or weakened in thickness. It is completely just the upper armor of the IS6 chassis with a slightly modified inclination angle and extended upward until it can completely cover and protect the entire front of the fighting compartment, forming an airtight and dead-angle protection.

Except for the different inclination angles, the main armor belt on the front of the fighting compartment of the ISU-152A is exactly the same as the physical thickness of the upper armor of the IS6 body, which means that the defense performance of the two is completely at the same level. It is only because the ISU-152A's defensive inclination angle is not as good as the IS6, which is a compromise that must be made to accommodate the huge 152 gun in the fighting room.

If the situation allows, Kokin may design a monster-level self-propelled artillery with an unchanged upper armor angle, which extends directly upward to cover the entire front of the fighting room for iron wall defense. In that case, it would be a turretless IS6 with a 152 gun. The defense performance is not to be penetrated by the full-caliber armor-piercing shells of World War II, and even the early first-generation armor-piercing shells after World War II and the beginning of the Cold War would be useless.

But there is no if on the battlefield. The ISU-152A, which makes certain protection compromises in order to carry a powerful gun, is already the best solution that the existing design can make.

Even so, this self-propelled artillery with extremely abnormal protection performance can still make any opponent facing it feel helpless and headache. Looking at the indestructible super iron turtle in front of them, it feels like a mouse pulling a turtle and there is no way to start. The German army on the opposite side who witnessed their attacks being invalidated is in this situation now.

"Damn it! What on earth is this Russian monster? Why can't any of it be shot through!? Why!?"

"Damn, where is its weakness? Who knows where is the weakness of this thing!? How to deal with it!?"

"Shut up! Keep shooting! Paralyze their tracks first. These things don't have turrets. Break the tracks and they're done!"

Although there are many angry and out-of-control people, there are also those who can think rationally, just like the opposites of light and shadow, black and white. There will always be such people. After all, this is a legendary army that once galloped across the entire European continent. Regardless of justice or evil, even at this point, there are still elites who can think.

The experienced German tank commander was right. Shooting the tracks and destroying the running gear to replace this huge Russian steel monster is indeed a very good way.

The only lateral aiming ability of this bulky turretless tank is to turn by the running gear. The adjustable range of the large-caliber main gun to fine-tune the firing range left and right is pitifully small. Once the running gear is destroyed and the normal vehicle body turning and maneuvering cannot be performed, these seemingly threatening Russian steel monsters will instantly become stupid bears with broken claws.

Not only can they not move and have a lame leg, but they can't bite people, and the fragile tracks are definitely much easier to destroy than the heavy armor plates.

This seems to be a brilliant idea that can't be better. Breaking the legs of those Russian steel monsters can send them out of the battlefield and wipe them out from the Russians' combat equipment sequence. Even if the Russians in the car are brave and want to persist in fighting, they are helpless and powerless.

The idea is good, the plan is great, but what does it have to do with the difficulty of your actual implementation?

If you can win the war just by imagining, then why do you keep summarizing practical experience?

That is, when the German assault guns and tank destroyers on the opposite side are reloading quickly and preparing to focus fire on new confirmed weaknesses. The Russian steel monsters on the opposite side, which had just been hit by a round of concentrated fire, suddenly stopped moving forward, and stopped their huge and strong bodies in a trembling manner. The swaying muzzles have already begun to aim at the target before they have time to stabilize.

"Damn it! Those Russians are aiming at us, they are aiming at us!"

"Shut up, reload! Get ready to shoot!"

"Hurry up, faster!"

"I think we need to get the fuck out of here. You tell the driver to do something."

An unknown German crew member didn't even have time to finish his words. The Russian steel monsters on the opposite side, which had just completely stopped and stopped shaking their muzzles, were already roaring and firing without warning.

The huge roaring sound of the cannon stirred up a terrifying shock wave that was visible to the naked eye in the air, almost rolling up the surrounding land.

The powerful and heavy projectile's exit speed is not very high, and the curved trajectory is very unsuitable for precise direct-view aiming.

But it doesn’t matter. The 152 Divine Religion has never needed to do accurate shooting and accurate hits. This has always been the case in the past and now.

Boom——

Boom boom——

It was not armor-piercing bombs or concrete-destroying bombs, but high-explosive grenades that exploded wildly around the German assault guns and tank destroyers.

The German crews who were originally preparing for a direct hit by armor-piercing bombs were stunned. They never expected that those Russian steel monsters would greet them with high-explosive bombs. These protective properties were quite good in the later period. Assault guns and tank destroyers.

"Are the Russians stupid? Do they really think these bullet-missing grenades can deal with us?"
