Chapter 1548 Su-152 and Yakov

Yes, this kind of self-propelled artillery suddenly encountered is the latest Soviet weapon designed to fight Tiger tanks, the SU-152.

For the Soviets, in fact, they also attached great importance to artillery and tanks. After the Germans appeared incapable of tanks, the Soviet Union naturally had to find a way.

Since the existing firepower cannot penetrate, then continue to brush the caliber.

In this case, the Soviet Union has already begun to try, such as KV-2, in order to carry a 152mm cannon, it has become a toilet head.

This kind of thing can only be used in an emergency. It has been proved that it is of no use on the battlefield. The short-barreled 152mm gun is difficult to aim, and its power is not enough. The high toilet head causes a high center of gravity and is easy to roll over.

As a result, the Soviet Union began to develop a new type of self-propelled artillery called KV-14. This self-propelled artillery is equipped with a 152 mm ML-20 type artillery and an all-round observer, which can implement indirect aiming shooting, as well as The ST-10 type farsighted device can implement direct shooting.

This is not a short-barreled howitzer, but a long-barreled 152mm gun that gives this self-propelled gun the versatility of its mission.

It can fire reflex grenades, carry out self-propelled artillery tasks, support front-line battles at a long distance, and can also launch armor-piercing projectiles to act as a tank destroyer at close range.

It can be said to be a complete all-rounder, self-propelled artillery, tank destroyer, assault gun, everything is fine, but it also has some shortcomings.

The ML-20 gun had a lot of recoil, so instead of a rotating turret, it had a fixed fighting compartment where the gun was mounted.

In this way, aiming is quite a problem. In the past, turning the turret could obtain a 360-degree field of fire, but now, the driver and the gunner must cooperate closely.

What's worse is that similar German self-propelled artillery without a turret has an advanced hydraulic steering system that can be fine-tuned, but this self-propelled artillery directly uses the original KV chassis. If you want to fine-tune the direction, it is absolutely not easy.

At the same time, 152mm shells cannot be fully loaded and sub-loaded ammunition, making it extremely cumbersome to load. The rate of fire of the ML-20 artillery is only 2 rounds per minute.

In any case, in history, when the su-152 self-propelled artillery went to the battlefield in the Battle of Kursk, it established a miracle and was called an animal killer. Even the tiger tank could not stop its fierce attack.

And now, for the first time on the battlefield, animal killers meet the most powerful animals.

The mouse is the little guy in the animal kingdom. The Germans named this huge tank the mouse, which is simply ironic.

Yakov's eyes are still firm, for the Soviets, fight bravely until the last moment!

Yes, he is Stalin's son, Yakov. Although he was captured in Iran, he did not do anything to humiliate his identity. Although he was a prisoner, he was still a glorious Soviet. He was a Soviet And proud.

After returning to the Soviet Union, he continued to serve in the army, first to Smolensk, and just as the fighting in Smolensk was raging, he was transferred back from the front and received new equipment.

He was originally an artilleryman. In the past, he operated a towed artillery, but this time, he replaced it with a self-propelled artillery. This artillery is familiar to them. It is the same model as the previous towed artillery. However, the chariot is different. For For artillerymen who have not operated tracked vehicles before, it is difficult.

Therefore, during this time, they have been training in the rear. Due to insufficient fuel, they stopped training in place most of the time. Recently, the situation in Moscow has become more and more serious. They finally went to the battlefield and came to the map in the south of Moscow. La State.

As soon as they arrived in Tula, they got a request for reinforcements from the front line before they were repaired. Therefore, Yakov rushed to the front line with his own troops, and in Cherny, they also went the wrong way. In this way, the two The troops that went the wrong way met by a narrow road.

On the whole, the Su-152 is not a specialized tank after all, and it is not suitable for direct bombardment, but there are a lot of them. A dozen SU-152s can definitely go around the opponent's back. In this way, they can still defeat the opponent. of grasp.

At the same time, this light rain has also benefited them. The Germans are good at long-range aiming and shooting, but now they can't see far, and the advantages of long-range shooting cannot be exerted. When the distance is close, like now, it is dozens of meters, that is, with eyes closed can hit. The opponent's tank is so tall that it is a living target.

The biggest problem is the rate of fire.

When suddenly facing a dozen enemy chariots, Hans was not nervous at all, he was only excited.

For a tank soldier, he is honored when he destroys an enemy tank in combat. And when he destroys five tanks, he will be known as the ace tanker, and his name will be widely publicized as a hero.

As for the 502 heavy armored battalion, their destruction figures are always in the hundreds. For example, the number one lieutenant Karius destroyed 150 enemy tanks. This can still be confirmed, and there are still a bunch of them that have not been confirmed. .

This kind of wreckage number is simply fantastic, and it is a mythical record. Now, although the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion of the German Third Reich Army is very different from history, most of the tankers are not there, but, They will still shape their glory.

Now, it belongs to the glory of Hans.

It is a customary rule of the German armored troops that the destruction of the battle results is counted on the head of the commander, so although Hans has killed a lot in Odessa before, he still has no record.

Now that he has become the captain, Hans has finally started to score. Hans's first record is to kill more than ten chariots in one battle, and he is directly promoted to the double ace.

"At eleven o'clock, fire," Hans shouted.

Following his order, Sergeant Karpanet pressed the button, and the huge turret began to turn. Then, with a loud bang, there was a burst of gunpowder inside the turret, and in the hum of the smoker's full speed operation, Karpane Special Sergeant shouted excitedly: "Hit!"

The 75mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile directly hit the front armor of the Su-152 dozens of meters away. Although its gun mantlet was 75mm thick, it could not stop the attack of this terrible armor-piercing projectile. Hit, almost no doubt will detonate the internal ammunition, 152mm ammunition detonation, the scene is quite spectacular.

"Ten o'clock, fire," Hans continued.

"Boom!" This time, the 128mm tank gun fired.
