Chapter 2484 Headless Tiger

Malachenko thought he was well-informed. No matter what strange and outrageous car the Germans brought out, Malachenko was confident that he should be able to recognize it and know its model. At least if he knew the approximate model, there should be no problem. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

But that thing, the one with no head, was not just bald and headless. It was not just without a turret, but it didn’t even have a fixed fighting room like a tank destroyer. It was almost just a fucking chassis. Malachenko asked himself whether he knew what it was in his past life or in this life.

It can’t be said that he didn’t know it at all. At least Malachenko could roughly recognize the chassis of that thing and had some impression of it.

Although he hadn't seen this square shoebox for a long time, as the first vehicle that posed a major threat to the Germans on the battlefield and completely changed the quality advantage of the Soviet-German armored confrontation, Malashenko still couldn't forget the shock he felt on the day of the roaring dawn, and he couldn't forget the deep impression left by the iconic features of the Tiger.

Yes, that's right, the thing on the opposite side that even Malashenko couldn't name was actually a thing that was modified from the chassis of the Tiger 1 heavy tank that had disappeared from the battlefield for a long time, and the leader division hadn't seen it on the battlefield for quite a long time. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́̃͝͝m̷̽̂̌ ̗͓̋̃̌

To be honest, if he hadn't encountered the tiger here today, Malashenko would have even thought that this thing had been killed without a single one left.

Oh, no, it shouldn't be killed without a single one left. At least there are still tigers in the Soviet Union.

It's just that it's not in the hands of the Germans, but in the test vehicle storage in Kubinka.

Back to the point, the reason why Malashenko felt surprised and even horrified was that the headless tiger not only looked weird, but the things on the chassis made people say "shocking".

Malashenko can say with certainty that it is indeed a combat vehicle, not a logistics supply or comprehensive support and maintenance vehicle.

The most direct evidence is that it is equipped with a combat system with very obvious identification characteristics, but it is not a turret or fighting room carried by a traditional tracked armored vehicle, but a whole without any Armor protection, only the launcher with ammunition completely exposed?

Because of the distance and angle, Malashenko could not see it very clearly. He could only see two launchers on the left and right sides of the Tiger's chassis. Two objects that looked like ammunition were installed on each launcher. The total number of ammunition carried by the two launchers on the left and right was four.

That was not an ordinary artillery shell. Malashenko's intuition told him that it was probably not an ordinary rocket, although it did look very similar.

The front end of the long and thick projectile was streamlined and arc-shaped, and the air control surface installed at the tail of the projectile was Those four not-so-small wings always give people a bad feeling at first glance, and even remind people of something not so good.

What is it?

The thing called "crying drunkard" by the soldiers of the leader division is a weapon of epoch-making significance in the history of human warfare: the latest anti-tank missile of the Germans.

It was also after realizing that these two things, one large and one small, have such a high degree of overlap and similarity in appearance except for their different sizes that Malashenko, who was originally still doubtful, almost shuddered and shouted on the spot.

"Armor-piercing shells! German tanks, at the twelve o'clock direction, blow it up!"

"Load armor-piercing shells, Artyom, hurry up!"

"Got it, don't rush! It's already being done! "

Accompanied by Malashenko's unhesitating order, the entire crew of No. 177 was immediately so busy that they had no time to take care of other things.

The driver slammed on the brakes to stop the car and prepared for static precision shooting. The two loaders used all their skills to stand in the turret basket and load shells. Iushkin, the gunner, tried his best to aim as accurately as possible during the violent shaking of the car's sudden brakes, while Malashenko still held the commander's periscope tightly with both hands and stared at the target.

But even so, even if they tried their best to fire accurately, the No. 177 IS7 heavy tank switched from high-speed maneuvering state to static precision shooting , but it was still difficult to seize the initiative and gain the upper hand.

Not surprisingly, the "headless tiger" that was originally parked opened fire first.

A huge tail flame gushed out violently from the tail end of the ready-to-fire ammunition mounted on the launcher. The orange-red flames pushed the absolutely heavy projectile to quickly break away from the launcher and fly straight in the direction of the enemy.

At the moment when the thing was fired, Malashenko was sure that he could clearly see from the commander's periscope in front of him that the tail end of the ammunition fired from the launcher was connected to a thin and visible black line.

The guess that was still uncertain just now finally has a definite answer.

The thing fired by the "headless tiger" is not a rocket at all, it is a vehicle-mounted enhanced version of the anti-tank missile used by the German infantry.

A larger, more powerful, and of course longer range, and there may be other new anti-tank missiles with enhanced performance.

At least before this, Malashenko, who had a wealth of information and intelligence sources to consult and understand, had never heard of such a "Tiger anti-tank missile launcher" in the hands of the Germans, and had never heard of any combat reports of other friendly forces fighting with similar vehicles.

There is a high probability that this thing in front of him is the first time to be put into actual combat and appear on the battlefield.

And as the latest and most advanced land warfare weapon put into actual combat, it is natural to be put into the defense of the Zelo Heights, which is grinding flesh and blood and crushing steel, and is currently the most important battlefield on the front battlefield of Berlin.

In this way, why Malashenko can meet this ghost thing in this place seems to be explained in a logical way.

But this is not the most important part at the moment.

The most important thing is that the large anti-tank missile that has been launched is coming at high speed towards us, and it is still accelerating and flying faster and faster under the propulsion of the violent rocket engine.

The subsonic anti-tank missile flight process gave the last chance. Without time to think too much, Malashenko almost pressed the transmitter button without hesitation and roared.

"Missiles are coming! No. 131, get out of the way!!!"
