Chapter 2792: Sniper Fight in the Middle
Despite the reinforcement of TOS-1A, this does not mean that the "Volga River" siege team can push forward with zero casualties.
No matter how powerful a weapon is, it has its weaknesses. There is no perfect weapon in the world that is perfect and all-round.
At least before lifting the huge rocket launch box to spray destruction at the enemy, TOS-1A is extremely fragile from the time it appears in the enemy's field of vision to the time it completes the launch deployment.
The heavy armor on the chassis of the vehicle, the thickest homogeneous steel shell on the launch box, and even the additional composite armor on the outside of the box shell.
Don't get it wrong. These are not for you to charge into battle with TOS-1A and step on the accelerator to death. This is not the original design intention and battlefield positioning of TOS-1A at all.
All of this heavy armor protection is, without exception, all for you and your comrades around you who may die in the explosion when you are inevitably attacked. This is the only purpose.
In order to protect this heavy firepower support equipment with thick armor but extremely fragile and relatively worrying survivability, the "Volga River" siege team must use relatively more fragile infantry and tanks to coordinate the offensive, and rush forward a distance along the street that has just been repelled, trying every means to project suppressive firepower and attract attention to the target building.
The purpose is only one - don't let the Germans have too much energy and firepower to go to TOS-1A.
Once this thing is blown up, not to mention the entire crew, there will be no residue left, and all living things in half of the surrounding streets, even lightly armored objects with protection, will be annihilated and disappear in a flash.
Except for the Stalin tanks that keep a certain distance and are heavily armored, it is conceivable that nothing will be left after the sky-high explosion.
It is such a troublesome, constrained, and sounding "broken equipment", but it is a "land bomber" that terrifies the enemy and boosts the morale of the own side.
This is war, war is so real. The truth is that no matter you or the enemy, you may be disgusted and hurt by the same weapon in different environments, no matter whether the equipment is enemy or friend.
"Go! The attack formation moves forward, and the infantry should pay attention to follow the tanks and don't fall behind! Be careful of the enemy's artillery firepower, and pay attention to concealment!"
Less than 20 minutes after the last wave of offensive failed and temporarily retreated, the "Volga River" siege team, which had been resting on the street for a short time and completed personnel rotation, launched an attack again.
This time they strengthened their firepower. Not only did they have the TOS-1A trump card that had not been revealed and the enemy did not know yet, but the ISU-152A self-propelled artillery that arrived first to reinforce also joined the battle.
And replaced the two IS6 heavy tanks that had entered the city earlier with an equal replacement of "two for two", and followed the two IS7 heavy tanks at the front to launch an attack.
The relatively clumsy, turretless, and slow-reacting ISU-152A can only stay in this position. After all, the Nazi scum on the street are not only entrenched in the tall administrative building at the end, but also swarming everywhere in the streets on both sides of the road, with all kinds of long guns and short guns available everywhere.
Only the super-heavyweight behemoth like IS7 is most suitable for such a position and charging in the front, and the larger caliber firepower upgraded from the last round of 122 to 152 is the key to suppressing the target administrative building.
"The Russians are coming again! Fire, fire quickly!"
Chi La La La La La --
Da Da Da Da --
Boom-Boom --
Swish --
The two IS7 heavy tanks at the entrance of the street had just driven out and appeared in the field of vision. The German infantry stationed in the buildings on both sides of the street, only more than 100 meters away, immediately picked up all the weapons they could use and fired crazily.
Machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, Panzerfausts, bazookas, anti-tank guns
The explosion of a frying pan resounded throughout the street in just one puff of smoke, and it was deafening. The ammunition and firepower of the German troops stationed in this building area were abundant, and to be precise, they had exceeded the previous estimates of the "Volga River" siege team, which had already been experienced in the last round of failed attacks.
This time, the fully prepared "Volga River" siege team was still fearless.
The two IS7 heavy tanks at the front, regardless of the flying objects and projectiles from the opposite side, forced their way up and immediately used their main guns and machine guns. Relying on the relative stability of driving on paved roads, which is always much stronger than off-road roads, they drove forward without even stopping the car, and fired while moving.
Boom boom boom boom——
"High explosive shells are ready!"
"Fire!"
Boom——
The Germans were firing intensively, and the two IS7s fought back resolutely without giving in.
The roaring sound of the 5mm coaxial machine gun and the 130mm main gun came again. The German soldiers on both sides of the street had been destroyed, killed, and shattered in the previous round of offensives, and now swept in again and stationed in the ruins, and followed in the footsteps of their comrades before they could even fire a round of bullets.
"Ah! Ahhhhhh!!! Legs, my legs——"
"Mom, save me, someone save me! Mom, woo woo mom"
The wounded German soldiers who were half-crippled by 130mm high-explosive grenades and split in two by 5mm heavy machine gun bullets were shouting, demanding hope for life when they were about to die.
"Go up! Don't retreat, hold your ground!"
"Ammunition man, this ammunition man is dead! Who will be my ammunition man? I need an ammunition man!"
"Iron Fist, bring up the Iron Fist! Quick!"
Ignoring the cries for help from his comrades who were close behind him, he knew that there was no need to save them, because it was likely that he would also survive like this in a short time. The Germans continued to fight desperately.
Bang——
A sharp gunshot cut through the sky and suddenly sounded from the commanding heights of the top floor of a building on the street.
"Uh——"
The Red Army soldier following the IS7 heavy tank was shot in the chest, and fell to the ground with a muffled groan, his life or death unknown. No matter how closely he followed the tank, he could not escape the precise shooting of the sniper from above.
But the good days of the German sniper were over.
"Loading completed!"
"High explosive shells ready!"
The reports of the main and deputy loaders sounded almost at the same time, followed by the commander's shout without hesitation.
"Right hand, red house, third floor balcony, fire!"
Boom--
The Russians are very violent, and sniping is also fair.
The sound of a 92mm gun brought about a fierce retaliation from a 152mm artillery.
The gun fired, people were shattered, and debris fell to the ground.
Only the pungent residual smell of the warhead charge that was not fully burned, wrapped in the fresh smell of blood, still echoed between the ruins of the third floor that had been blasted open with a huge gap.
Single shot, bolt action, with a scope, accurate, and can kill people in seconds.
Tell me, you German bastard, why is this not considered a sniping match?
