Chapter 2603 Love Comes From the Red Navy
Seeing that Alsim's life was in danger, those blind 20mm high-explosive shells could explode at any time at a very close distance to Alsim, and Alsim would be shot into a sieve with flying bullet fragments and die on the spot.
The combat engineers who had just withdrawn from the dangerous position were anxious. Alsim's brothers were about to go up to rescue their company commander, but at the last moment they were stopped by the accompanying mechanized infantry company commander.
"Don't move! Let the tanks come, wait!"
"Suka! Let the tanks kill the 20mm gun first, it's so annoying! This bastard has been beeping non-stop from the beginning until now, hurry up and deal with this bastard first! Don't worry about that pile of garbage!"
The company commander picked up the telephone receiver hanging on the butt of the Black Panther II behind him and just held it in his hand, Alsim, who was suppressed by the violent firepower, started shouting loudly, calling on his heavy firepower to take care of himself first and deal with the bastard on the opposite side, otherwise his "battlefield legend" would really have to die in this hellhole today and be beaten into a pulp.
There is just one thing that neither Alsim, who was shouting loudly, nor the company commander who picked up the phone to call for tank gun support thought of.
Alsim's shouting did not call for 75mm tank gun support, but a fierce bombardment from the 130mm naval gun of the Red Navy destroyer.
Swoosh——
Boom——
The shrieking sound of breaking through the air came first, and the roar of the muzzle came later.
The 130mm full-caliber high-explosive grenade with an initial muzzle velocity of over a thousand meters per second came rapidly, almost passing directly above Alsim's forehead, and flew straight towards the target with a shrill whistle, hitting the target accurately in the instant when the human nerves could not react.
Boom——
Crackling——
The huge explosion sounded along with the sound of brick and stone debris and large groups of construction waste falling. The German firepower point that could withstand the direct bombardment of the 75mm cannon grenade, but could never survive the Red Navy's 130mm semi-armor-piercing grenade, was instantly blown away. After only one test shot, it was lifted into the air and scattered without the need for calibration and supplementary firing.
"Hit the target, done! Comrade Iushkin gets the first point!"
"Great! Next! The right turret firepower point, load the semi-armor-piercing shells!"
Iushkin, who succeeded in one shot, howled excitedly, and the pleasure of the rapid surge of adrenaline has swept through his body. At the commander's position, Malashenko, who witnessed the complete destruction of the left turret firepower point, responded affirmatively, and immediately issued an additional annihilation order.
Malashenko showed the foresight and foresight that a time traveler should have in many things, and the same is true for the type of ammunition for the IS7 main gun.
When the plan was first designed, Comrade Shashmurin, the father of IS7, once did not intend to consider the full-caliber semi-armor-piercing grenade, which is a navy-exclusive type of ammunition used when the IS7's 130 main gun is used as a destroyer naval gun.
But Malashenko asked to keep it, saying that this thing would be useful in the future, and it would definitely have its place at the end of the war.
Although Shashmurin didn't quite understand, since it was Malashenko's request, it was only natural for the design and development unit to respect the opinions of the front-line troops. It was only natural for Party B to modify the design according to Party A's requirements, not to mention that it was a "ceiling-level boss" like Malashenko.
The penetration depth of the naval semi-armor-piercing grenade is not as good as that of the armor-piercing shell, and the charge is not as good as that of the high-explosive grenade. It is a special type of ammunition that is only used to attack those with certain light armor protection and cause as much damage as possible in the hull cabin.
Of course, Malashenko's purpose of asking to keep this thing is not to use it to bombard ships or drive IS7 to fight against warships. Your German brain-twitching performance art cannot be equated with the Red Army.
Malashenko left this naval ammunition type for IS7 to use: to bombard the German fortifications and bunkers, especially in street fighting.
As long as it is not a permanent fortification like a tortoise shell, those civilian buildings that are temporarily reinforced with military-standard concrete and steel plates cannot withstand the direct bombardment of 130 semi-armor-piercing grenades.
Ordinary high-explosive grenades will explode directly when they hit the wall. Even if the 130mm grenade is fully charged, the damage effect may not be particularly good. When encountering a slightly harder target, it is inevitable to reload and explode again, but semi-armor-piercing grenades are different.
This reduced-charge grenade, which operates on the principle of armor-piercing shells, is enough to break through the outer defense of the German reinforced civilian fortifications and detonate inside, instead of exploding when it hits.
Although it is a reduced-charge version compared to ordinary high-explosive grenades, a thicker warhead wall occupies a considerable part of the warhead chamber space to increase the armor-piercing thickness. But in the final analysis, this is a shell with the name of a grenade, and the warhead charge is much higher than that of a full-caliber armor-piercing shell, which is enough to destroy most of the German fortifications and bunkers from the inside, just like now.
The 20-gun firepower point on the third floor, which was penetrated by a shot through the outer defense, exploded completely, just like a watermelon with the flesh emptied out and a thunder king stuffed into it. There was a loud bang and the sky was full of splatter.
Countless construction debris and 20-gun fragments fell from the sky like rain, and in this garbage rain there was not only the smell of fire and gunpowder, but also real liquid raindrops, which were the blood plasma of the Germans that was shattered and splashed.
Things falling from the sky were scattered all over the ground, and the huge turtle shell-shaped turret of the No. 177 IS7 heavy tank had already completed its turn again, aiming its huge muzzle at the next target.
Wow——
Bang——
"Loading is complete! Semi-armor-piercing bullets are good!"
"Free dirt plane, let's go!"
boom--
The second street blockhouse with severely limited vision had not yet realized what had just happened. The 20-gun battery on the indoor gun position was only focused on manipulating the artillery and firing wildly. Even the scythe of death was placed on the neck. The Adam's apple is still unnoticed.
Death like this is actually not bad, at least you don't have to struggle desperately in the terrifying time of waiting for death. This is the greatest kindness given by the enemy.
Boom——
There was another loud scream of "scoring twice", and another implosion that was exactly the same as the scene just now.
Large masses of construction waste, together with metal fragments, carrying fragments of human tissue, once again flowed down like a waterfall, splashing large amounts of dust. A German machine gun team that was unable to dodge downstairs was buried underneath, along with several infantrymen, and was smashed into a pulp by the "high-altitude projectile".
Malashenko, who had solved the biggest and most difficult problem with two consecutive shots, twisted his lips. The good life of these gangs who only know how to bully the gangsters and thin-skinned Black Panthers will be over with their lives from this moment on. .
"Advance the attack formation! Concentrate firepower to blow up the garbage pile blocking the road at the street entrance, prepare high-explosive bombs!"
