Chapter 2949 Red Smoke! 203 Roar!

Red smoke suddenly began to emerge from the third floor of the Capitol. Such a striking emergency immediately attracted the attention of the remaining troops at the foot of the Capitol and on King's Square who were preparing to fight the enemy's desperate counterattack.

"A signal came from the top of the Capitol, red smoke! Requesting direct artillery support!"

"What!?"

Such an emergency almost immediately reached the ears of Malashenko, who was also commanding the battle on King's Square.

At the moment when the Capitol was about to fall, a signal requesting direct artillery support suddenly came from the area near the top of the building. For such a thing, let alone the people below who dared not act on their own, they had to quickly ask the division commander for instructions. Even Malashenko, who claimed to have experienced all kinds of storms, saw it and said, "Fuck."

""

He opened the commander's periscope in his hand and witnessed the red smoke rising and floating on the top of the Capitol.

Various possibilities and problems flashed through his mind in an instant. Malashenko, who knew nothing about the specific situation in the building, had to make a decision quickly. Whether to fight or not depended on the division commander's words.

"Open fire, let the 203 go! Try firing first!"

After experiencing various artillery attacks, it is obvious how ridiculous the defense of the Capitol is.

A 122 can only make a noise, and a 152 can only make a hole.

Using TOS-1 directly can solve the problem.

But it may lead to excessive problem solving.

The explosive equivalent of a salvo is far greater than that of a 152 howitzer battalion's TOS-1. If a 310mm heavy rocket hits the top of the Capitol, Malashenko is really worried that his soldiers will be killed.

If a salvo really buries the elite of the Alsim Company, Malashenko, who is scared, asks himself if he will have no place to cry when the time comes, because he gave the order himself. At this time, you have to admit that being too powerful and too saturated is sometimes not a good thing.

However, Malashenko was not completely helpless. The leader division now had another new equipment between 152 and 310 - the experimental ISU-203 self-propelled artillery.

This "super beast" that used the IS7 chassis to carry the 203 cannon showed its amazing power when it first appeared in the battle to capture the Reichstag.

The German strong bunkers and pillboxes on the King's Square that had finally survived the indirect fire were all blown up by the close-range bombardment of this thing.

The few Tiger Kings and Jagdtigers parked at the foot of the Reichstag as fixed fire points and bunkers, as well as the 88mm anti-aircraft guns and long 88 anti-tank guns with fixed gun mounts, also tried to fire fiercely at this tall and powerful "Russian beast" that had broken the limit and was even more powerful than the IS7, trying to destroy it.

Of course, the result was as expected.

Even the most powerful and deepest-penetrating Jagdtiger 128mm gun that hit the bull's eye could only make a crisp sound and create a shallow pit in the main armor belt of the ISU-203, and that was the best it could do.

On the other hand, the ISU-203, which seemed to be irritated, turned its guns and fired back in retaliation, but it was no surprise that with just one shot, it could restore a 70-ton monster like the Jagdtiger to factory settings.

Are you kidding? That's a 203mm gun! It's a 203mm heavy cruiser-level firepower.

Let alone the Jagdtiger, even if you Germans drove a rat over, it would be killed on the spot and you would never be left with only hemiplegia.

Not only the various armored vehicles and fortifications at the foot of the Capitol, but also the sealed gate of the Capitol, which was reinforced with various obstacles, bricks and concrete, was directly smashed open by the ISU-203's unceremonious "Slavic knocking".

There is no doubt that this huge self-propelled artillery with great deterrence is the undoubted absolute conqueror on the King's Square at this moment. It is the "Soviet Mechanical Godzilla" that can make the enemy's liver and gall bladder break and be humanely destroyed as soon as the sound of the gun is heard.

And now, under the direct order of Malashenko.

Several ISU-203s that were originally planning to go to the northern defense zone to meet the enemy immediately followed the order to brake and stop, and began to adjust the muzzle direction within the range allowed by the left and right firing ranges. The giant muzzle brake of the same configuration as the IS7 immediately aimed at the target.

"Concrete demolition bomb! Quick! Load now!"

Originally designed to demolish various front-line solid and permanent fortifications, it is natural for the B-4 203mm howitzer to be equipped with concrete demolition bombs. Now it is just an ISU-203 equipped with the same main gun, and the Red Army follows the consistent "take it as it is" approach and puts it directly into the vehicle.

The upper fighting compartment, which is extended to the rear of the vehicle, has an unprecedentedly large volume among all the Red Army's armored combat vehicles. It is large enough to accommodate the 203 cannon and leave enough recoil distance for the breech block, and then put a semi-automatic loader of the same design as the IS7 but larger in size at the rear of the fighting compartment.

It is true that it is larger in size, but it also has larger shells.

The semi-automatic loader of the IS7 can hold up to 6 rounds of reserve ammunition and 1 round of ready-to-fire ammunition, a total of 7 rounds; but in the ISU-203, sorry, 4 rounds of reserve ammunition and 1 round on the loading slide There are only 5 rounds of ammunition to be fired in total.

Following the commander's order, the two strong loaders immediately began their respective tasks, operating the loaders on their respective sides to transport the warheads and propellant cartridges onto the loading slide and align them one after another. Hold the "T" shaped ejector rod together and push forward together with the breech block.

Wow——

Bang——

"Loading complete!"

The breech block was closed and a shout rang out. The gunner, who had already pointed the black hole of the muzzle at the target, made a quick decision and pulled the firing lever next to the breech block to the end.

Boom——

The steel behemoth with a total combat weight of more than 70 tons sprayed explosive flames, and suddenly reversed due to the huge uncontrollable recoil force, while the powerful and heavy giant projectile broke free from the muzzle and headed straight for the target.

At the same time, at the target location where the artillery shells were about to arrive, the SS, who not only did not run away, but dared to fight back against Sulovechenko, still knew nothing about the impending destruction.

Da da da da——

Chug tug tug——

Crackling--

The roar of gunfire was like fried beans, accompanied by the ricocheting sound of bullets flying everywhere. Sulovechenko, whose position was exposed due to the sudden firing, was pressed tightly against the edge of the stand. Even if he moved slightly under the intensive firepower, he was facing If he moved even a little bit, he would most likely be killed on the spot instantly.

"Damn it! I can't control that much anymore, rush with me in class one! Cross the bridge immediately!"

Alsim, who was anxious to get angry, could only stare. Due to the blind spot in his field of vision, Alsim could only hear gunfire and could not hit the enemy. In desperation, Alsim was about to lead the commando across the bridge to attack the Nazi thugs. .

But he never thought that a powerful and heavy iron lump would be one step ahead of him, and it had already arrived with a bang.
