Chapter 2431 The Behemoth Moment (Part 2)

If you do something wrong or say something wrong, you have to pay a price.

The difference is that sometimes the price is light and easy to bear. Sometimes the price is huge, so huge that it can make people cry and scream, and it is not impossible to lose their lives, just like the German army is doing now.

You think those high-explosive grenades need to hit directly to hurt your armored vehicle, but in fact you are wrong, and you are very wrong, very wrong.

Those German assault guns and tank destroyers with low shapes, most of which hide themselves behind earth slopes and terrain bunkers, are indeed very difficult to hit from the front. Most of the large-caliber 152 grenades that came head-on either hit the earth slope, or hit the front of the earth slope, the side of the earth slope, and the surroundings of the German broken cars, and even whizzed over the top of the head.

The 152mm howitzer, which has a low main gun caliber, slow initial velocity, a pissing ballistic trajectory, and poor accuracy, coupled with the crude Mao-style optical sights, is quite normal and not outrageous to hit these "cunning" German short targets.

After all, it was not the original design intention of the ISU-152A to bombard armored targets protected by bunkers. Isn't it normal that the dog can't catch the mouse?

However, there must be a "but" in the final result.

However, these large-caliber grenades with a caliber of up to 152 mm do not even need to hit heavy armored targets directly. The large amount of high-speed impact fragments and blasting shocks caused by the near-miss explosion are enough to destroy the most vulnerable parts of any armored unit: the walking device and optical sights.

The German army, who thought they could rely on armor protection and withstand the near-miss explosion, soon realized how stupid they were.

Whenever a Russian large-caliber grenade explodes around the vehicle, no matter whether it is a fully enclosed armored combat vehicle of 20 to 30 tons or 40 to 50 tons, it will be shaken violently like a baby rocking car without exception, just like a drunk electric drunkard who is crazy and can't stop.

The power of this high-explosive grenade is so great that the German crew protected by the fully enclosed armor can feel the destruction and horror that is strong enough to penetrate the armor through the cold steel plate.

"Oh my God! Those Russians are bombarding us with heavy artillery, which is definitely more powerful than those Stalin heavy tanks!"

Without the premise of accurate near miss bullets, the power of the 122 heirloom grenade is at most to make these German soldiers feel "ears hurting and heads dizzy and a little confused", but the current situation is completely different.

The German soldiers sitting in the car felt dizzy and their ears hurt. They were shaking as if they were stepping on wires. The strong explosion shook the air around them. The German crews felt like their brains were about to be shaken into paste.

This grenade was definitely not fired from the 122 heirloom!

The German crews, who had never seen the Russian new steel monster, quickly determined the caliber and power of its main gun based on their own experience and real-life feelings. It must be at least 122 or above, at least 152. What good would it be if it was hit directly by a single shot? It was a blessing from the German emperor if it was not blown to pieces on the spot.

"No, we can't stay here any longer! We have to retreat! If we get hit by those Russians, we're done! This is heavy artillery coverage!"

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, they reacted quickly. Under the shock of the huge and terrifying power, the German assault guns and tank destroyers immediately began to plan to retreat in an organized manner.

If nothing else, at least we must first get out of the direct coverage of these Russian steel monsters that are impenetrable and powerful, pull the distance to a farther position, and then use our own accuracy to fight with them.

These Russian steel monsters, which have poor accuracy at medium distances, will only have worse accuracy and will be even more difficult to hit at long distances. This is the best choice to save yourself first and then destroy the enemy.

The German army thought well and made no mistakes in tactical judgment, but this has no direct connection with whether it can be successfully implemented in practice.

"Can't move!? The right track seems to have a problem!"

"Damn it, we're spinning in place! What's going on?"

"The left track is damaged, we can't move!"

The cruel real battlefield is not a virtual game world. The power of explosives in real wars is much higher than that in games, and they are not even the same concept or level.

In the game, if the 152 grenade doesn't hit, it's basically fine. In reality, even if the 152 grenade doesn't hit, as long as it explodes within 20 meters of your broken car, it will definitely kill you. It will literally wipe you out of the equipment sequence.

The track was destroyed, the road wheel was shaken off, and the driving wheel was directly shattered by a huge amount of high-speed fragments

The fragile walking device is not protected by heavy armor. The armor coefficient of these steel structural parts is not even 1. The solidity is far from comparable to the real armor plate. It is completely vulnerable to the impact of the 152 grenade that explodes within a dozen meters or even a few meters.

The retreat was definitely impossible, at least that was the reality facing a considerable number of German assault guns and tank destroyers. It was too late to think about "why didn't I do it earlier?"

Originally, I was thinking of breaking the Russians’ legs and forcing them to withdraw from the battle, but in the end, I never expected that after just one round of shooting, there would be such a ridiculous result.

I wanted to break their legs but failed, and I became a clown instead. It was me who had my legs broken! ? The twisted and deformed side skirts and the broken tracks were simply the most ruthless mockery of the Germans in the car.

“Abandon the car! Everyone abandon the car! We have to leave here, quickly!”

Everyone is a fully enclosed armored combat vehicle with “no turret means no human rights”, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

The Germans wanted to break the legs of the Soviet steel monsters on the opposite side, making them unable to fight and withdraw from the battlefield. In fact, they themselves were the same. After encountering a broken leg, they still couldn’t fight or run away, so they could only abandon the car.

One by one, the Germans opened the hatch on their heads and the escape hatch behind the fighting room to escape. The German beasts with broken legs were all paralyzed on the ground, unable to move, and could no longer use and fight. The massacre under the large-caliber overpressure explosion was far from over.

"Don't let those Germans run away! They are all high-value technical troops. Concentrate your firepower on the infantry fighting vehicles to kill them!"
