Chapter 2604 Street Rage (Part 1)

Two turrets standing on both sides of the street, one on each side, were completely sent to the sky and turned into ashes in two consecutive loud noises under the heavy artillery bombardment of Malashenko's No. 177 command type IS7 heavy tank.

After solving the two most troublesome targets at hand, Malashenko's next goal is also very clear: to clear the "man-made garbage pile" deliberately thrown by the Germans at the street intersection to block the road.

These steel lumps are not so easy to clean up. They are not ordinary tanks that can be knocked over and crushed by brute force.

Solid steel barricades, plus the wreckage of tow trucks that were deliberately left in the middle of the road to blow up and block the road. It is estimated that they are determined to defend this place and never retreat. Anyway, they don't need those trucks and don't have enough fuel to start them, so they just blow them up and use them as garbage to block the road. You Germans are really good at disgusting tricks.

The magnetic anti-tank mines and anti-infantry mines hanging on those steel barricades are equally deadly. Not to mention whether the tanks can overturn and smash them when they hit them, the various mines hanging on the iron barricades are enough to make them a disaster. It is troublesome for a steel body to rush up, let alone expect the flesh-and-blood infantry to rush up.

And relying on the weak 75mm cannon of the Black Panther II to blow up this annoying garbage is nothing but a pipe dream. The biggest disadvantage of the Germans' unconventional approach of always liking to use small-caliber and high-caliber tank guns is this. The poor chemical energy aftereffect is almost a common problem of all German tanks.

But the situation is different now. Now there is the Red Navy 130 Justice here, and the 75mm cannon of the Black Panther II can be slightly backed off.

"Blow up that pile of garbage! Fire! Focus fire!"

Just as Malashenko ordered the car to stop and remove the two German turrets, more IS7 heavy tanks followed the division commander's command vehicle and arrived at almost the same time and entered the firing position.

The black muzzles of the huge cannons followed the division commander's order and pointed at the steel garbage that was not too far away in the middle of the road.

The 130mm high-explosive grenade that had been loaded into the chamber opened fire, rushing towards the locked target in the hot eruption of the muzzle fire, and exploded the moment it touched the target.

Boom boom boom——

Boom boom——

The 130mm grenade with strong explosive power exploded all the German mines within the blasting range on the spot. The enhanced fire storm and strong shock wave were very powerful. So much so that it not only shattered and broke the solid steel barricades, but also blew sections of steel directly into the sky.

Even the wreckage of the burning German trucks next to the barricades was blown to pieces. They were blown into pieces by the direct hit of the 130mm grenade, and together with the broken and blown-away barricades, a "hot iron rain" fell instantly.

Looking at the terrifying explosions in the middle of the street, where the rapidly spreading shock waves raised large amounts of dust that could be seen with the naked eye, Malashenko, who had absolute confidence in the power of the IS7's "Red Navy 130 naval gun", twisted his mouth and raised it upwards.

With just these little pieces of junk made by the Germans, it was a pipe dream to stop the IS7's rapid advance.

"Attention, frontline troops! I am Malashenko. I will take over the command now. Please follow my orders."

"Now the frontline assault troops will move to both sides of the road immediately to make way for the attack! Let the heavy tanks charge in front, the medium tanks will be responsible for support and cover, and the infantry of each unit will follow the tanks and prepare for the attack!"

According to the original plan, the central siege team had a total of one combat engineer company, one mechanized infantry company, and one medium tank company. Converted into ordinary troops, this is a standard mechanized battalion.

The reinforcements brought by Malashenko further strengthened the central force configuration that had been selected as the main attack direction. Now there are a total of two tank companies, one medium and one heavy, plus three mechanized infantry companies and one combat engineer company. The total combat organization is 6 companies.

It may not sound like much, but compared to the leader division's usual movement, the scene of at least 100 to 80 tanks can only be considered a small matter.

But it should be noted that in the current street fighting environment, it is actually a bit too much to pack 6 companies of troops into a main street.

6 companies means at least 20 tanks and 600 infantrymen. If more than 20 cars are stuck together and lined up in a long line on the main road in the 21st century, it will look visually impactful, not to mention that these are not more than 20 cars but more than 20 wide and fat tanks.

With such a redundant siege team, Malashenko, who has taken over the command of the front-line battlefield, certainly will not say that all the troops will be pushed forward and charged in a line using the pig-rushing tactics.

With Malashenko's order, the Black Panther II, who were originally at the forefront and kept firing, while holding their positions, and fighting back and forth with the Nazis across the street, began to slowly retreat. While retreating, they did not forget to turn the rear of the car to point forward, and quickly cleared the way at a speed visible to the naked eye, allowing the "big guys" who followed to take over the battle position.

"Cars 113 and 112 suppress the Germans at the opposite street corner! The rest of the crew follow me and move forward!"

While adjusting the formation, of course, they did not forget to suppress the Nazi scum jumping up and down on the opposite side with heavy firepower.

Two IS7 heavy tanks belonging to the divisional guard company were assigned to hold their positions and temporarily suspend their advance. With the powerful firepower of the 130mm main gun and the violent strafing of the KPV machine gun, any Germans who wanted to "take advantage of the situation" on the opposite side of the block were temporarily suppressed and made them unable to take care of themselves.

Then, with Malashenko's No. 177 command vehicle as the lead, a large number of IS7 heavy tanks that followed in formation immediately moved forward, stepped on the accelerator and passed the Panther II medium tanks that had vacated their positions and leaned against the street at the fastest speed. In just two rounds of reloading, they had completed the rotation of positions and arrived at the front of the formation.

"Don't let those big monsters get close! Fire, fire quickly to disrupt their formation! Kill them all!"

Despite being suppressed by the violent firepower of the 130mm cannon and the 5mm heavy machine gun, the German troops on the opposite side, who were also already furious, did not sit still and wait for death. They did their best to do what they could and launched attacks with any anti-tank weapons they could fire whenever possible.
