Chapter 2464: Artillery Battle
According to the description in German military language, the frontal protection level of the ISU-152A, which wears shoulder armor and carries a huge cannon, is even better than the IS6 main battle tank of the same level. The caliber is so large that it can hunt tigers instantly. A super monster that has become a "brother among brothers" cannot be justified in any way by saying that it is a self-propelled artillery.
Look at what the Germans have on their own self-propelled artillery. Crickets, wild bees, all crispy-skinned convertibles. The Yankees' self-propelled artillery at the same time were pretty much the same thing. The Priest thing really didn't exist. How much better than the German self-propelled artillery.
It's up to you, the Russians, to do something special. It's called a self-propelled artillery in name, but in fact it's such a precious thing that stacks up armor and defense to make heavy tanks pale in comparison. If you really plan to use it as a self-propelled artillery weapon and provide artillery support from a long distance away, then are you going to have some serious problems with such a thick layer of armor?
The German who said "I don't understand, but I was shocked" shook his head. In the end, he did not classify the ISU-152A into the category of self-propelled artillery. In "The Enemy's Fully Enclosed Tracked Armored Combat Vehicle Identification Manual", the ISU-152A is directly classified into the "assault gun" type described in German military language.
After all, according to the definition of a German, he has armored defenses that are enough to withstand the enemy's conventional anti-tank firepower. He also has a main gun with sufficient power to seriously threaten the enemy's conventional targets, and his mobility can fully satisfy the enemy's conventional anti-tank firepower. It is a fully enclosed tracked armored combat vehicle that can be positioned on the frontal battlefield to carry out assault and fire support tasks for front-line field mechanized groups.
So what is this if it's not an assault gun? Or what else could it be besides an assault gun?
Self-propelled artillery?
Sorry, the Germans' own crickets and wild bees are not capable of fighting forward with direct fire from anti-tank guns. They are so thin and thick that they can't be called anti-tank guns. The Russians can give them two anti-tank rifles. It wears dry from the front.
It can be said that it does not have the ability to support direct fire on the frontal battlefield. It is not impossible to use it this way, but it will become a disposable item after use. If you go to the battlefield, don't expect to come back, unless the Russians on the opposite side are all. He is stupid and mentally retarded.
However, these are generally understood to be unable to pose such a fatal threat to solid and permanent defenses. The threat level should be lower than that of ordinary assault guns covered by attack aviation strikes and conventional field howitzer groups. However, they are now a permanent threat to almost all German troops on the defense line. It served as a reminder for the fortifications and the German soldiers stationed inside.
As long as that thing's 152mm cannon fires and it can accurately hit the target with its powerful and heavy concrete-destroying bombs, the German soldiers in the fortification will basically be "missing" anyway.
Even if the warhead charge of 152 concrete destructive projectiles has been reduced compared with conventional high-explosive bombs, it is enough to kill all German soldiers in the same confined space within the fortification. After all, this is 152 millimeters, not 2 millimeters.
Feeling the suffocating fear as if being pulled repeatedly by the scythe of death on my neck, and unprecedented mental pressure.
The German soldiers in the large permanent fortifications began to prepare for revenge, or to protect themselves, they must first eliminate the counterattacks of those deadly enemies.
Large-caliber, powerful, and valuable heavy-duty anti-tank guns turned their muzzles crazily inside the fortifications and responded extremely quickly. The huge and slender orange-yellow cannonball was picked up by the loader with all his strength, and pushed with all his strength into the already pulled breech block. The German gunner, who was just a nervous man, had beads of sweat on his forehead that were bigger than soybean grains. Staring at the gun scope, extremely nervous.
"On target!"
"Loading completed!"
"fire!"
boom--
The power of this cannon was so great that the loose soil on the ground outside the firing hole of the fortification was instantly lifted up, blown away, and scattered into the air around the fortification. The fire and flames spurting out from within directly exploded into an orange-red spherical shape. In the impact of the mixture of dust and fire, only the high-speed projectile was not affected at all and rushed out at extremely high speed.
call out--
Ding-ding——
crackling——
"Sukabule! He's been shot!!!"
A standard Mao Ziguo curse was accompanied by a violent shaking of the vehicle body. The impact kinetic energy of this powerful and heavy armor-piercing projectile is so strong that its total combat weight exceeds that of the IS6 and is close to the 60-ton mark of the ISU- 152A's whole body trembled for an instant, a reaction like a sudden shiver in a human being swept through the entire car, including the crew of course.
"Report the situation! Where was it shot? Say something!"
The whole chin was already surrounded by a huge beard. Only the comrade commander, who had a rough face and hair on his forehead, shouted loudly, and the rest of the crew members immediately started reporting.
"I'm fine!"
"I'm okay!"
"The gunner can still shoot!"
"The main armor belt of the fighting room faced the bullet head-on, but there was no penetration!"
The voices of the crew members competing to speak out their reports gradually faded away, and the comrade commander, who looked unhappy, just stared at the scene and was extremely angry.
"These naughty guys are stupid! Keep reloading, target the two o'clock plateau, that large concrete turtle shell! Kill it for me!"
"yes!"
"Put on the cartridge, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
This armor-piercing projectile, which is powerful, heavy, and has strong armor-piercing kinetic energy, did not complete the task it was supposed to complete.
It did not cause any substantial penetration damage to the target armor. It only created a shallow pit that looked hideous and even the edge armor was deformed and squeezed out like melted chocolate. In fact, it did not penetrate the heavy front armor of the fighting compartment at all. In essence, it could only be said that it "heard a noise", nothing more.
But this does not mean that this is the only effect it brought. This is not the case.
At least it also angered the Russians who were originally preparing to hit another target. In an instant, they angrily pointed the huge and sturdy muzzle at the target of revenge. In the adjustment and aiming of the firing range of the single track rotation, the target was locked: the German bunker that had just fired a 128mm full-caliber capped armor-piercing bullet.
"Damn it! It didn't penetrate! How could it not penetrate!? This is impossible!!!"
"What? The last shot had no effect? Did you see it wrong???"
"This is our most powerful anti-tank gun, why can't it do anything to that Russian monster? What on earth is that!?"
Let's not talk about how the ordinary soldiers under his command were talking and shocked on the spot, but the German gunner in charge of commanding this high-value technical weapon knew that talking nonsense here would not kill the Russian monster on the opposite side with words, so it's better to do something meaningful to make up for it, it's definitely not too late.
"Keep loading! Quick! Load the silver bullet!"
