Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 376 Eye of Blizzard (Part 1)

"Kirill, load high-explosive shells! Iushkin, the Germans are pushing their anti-tank guns out of the gun holes, letting them know that time is not on their side!"

He moved the main gun elevation and turret steering gears, which were held in his left and right hands, up and down at the same time to adjust the muzzle pointing. The sound of the metal friction closing of the 85mm high-explosive shell inserted into the gun breech and Malashenko's order were the beginning of the killing. signal.

"Go to your God! I believe in communism, damn nazis!"

哢达——

The sound of the mechanically driven main gun's firing pedal caused the breech firing pin to instantly hit and ignite the propellant primer in the cartridge case. Under the stabilizing effect of the dense rifling in the barrel, the 85mm high-explosive projectile immediately absorbed the chemical energy of the violent combustion of the propellant. It spirals out from the muzzle under push.

The muzzle velocity of up to 790 meters per second was fleeting at a shooting distance of less than one kilometer. The 85mm high-explosive projectile that accurately hit a German anti-tank gun emplacement immediately turned into a blazing fireball, tearing apart. The shattered shrapnel that cracked the flying snow and the cold wind and struck quickly with a scream that broke through the air, immediately knocked down several German soldiers who were pushing the anti-tank gun with their bare hands to the ground like autumn wind sweeping down fallen leaves.

"Legs! My legs! Ah! Who will save me, the medic, where is the medic!?"

"Intestines, his intestines are leaking out! What should I do? Do you want to help him stuff them back in?"

The frantic emergency rescue of injured comrades was just a small episode after the successful attack. More German anti-tank gun crews successfully pushed their comrades into the gun emplacement and began to aim and fire.

"At one o'clock, the leading Ivan tank, hit its tracks as much as possible to stop them from charging over!"

"Aimed!"

"Load it!"

"Fire!"

boom--

Knowing that the thing in their hands would not be effective against Soviet heavy tanks at a distance of several hundred meters, the German anti-tank gun crew had no choice but to choose to fix their target on the KV1's tracks. .

But as the saying goes, "Those who seek the top will win, those who seek the middle will win, and those who seek the bottom will lose."

The ancient Chinese judgment on the truth of war is still outdated even in the era of thermal weapons. Due to the outdated weapons in their hands, the tactical target was downgraded from destruction to paralysis. The German anti-tank gun crew was forced to What great results will be achieved?

With just a simple optical sight in your hand, it is not easy to accurately hit a moving tank hundreds of meters away. To accurately hit a tank, it only accounts for 100% of the front projection area of ​​the tank. The tracks that are less than twenty are even more difficult.

A 50mm tungsten core armor-piercing round that hit the upper front of Malashenko's car ricocheted away without any suspense, leaving shallow scratches like scratches from a car accident and even the outermost 25mm welded attachment. The armor plate was not even broken, and the crisp collision sound of the warhead and armor that echoed in the tank was the only "contribution" of this tungsten core armor-piercing bullet.

"Ha, the Germans' armor-piercing bullets are weak! Iushkin, let them see our Red Army's artillery shells. Only dead Germans are good Germans!"

With the considerable tremor coming from the joystick in his hand, he could feel the residual power of the German armor-piercing bullet that was directly bounced away by the ricochet. The driver Seryosha, who was heavily protected by the thick front armor of the vehicle body, did not regard those German anti-tank weapons at all. He took the gun seriously, and on a whim, he even shouted excitedly at Iushkin, who was in the turret behind him and was responsible for controlling the main gun.

"You heard it all, Kirill, another high-explosive round! This time it will blow up the butts of those Germans!"

Before Iushkin could even finish his hurried words, Kirill, who had already transformed into a qualified loader after experiencing a series of brutal battles, had already started taking action.

The fixed 85 mm high-explosive shell placed on the first ammunition rack at the rear of the turret was pulled out by Kirill with skillful operation. The princess folded her arms like she was embracing her lover, then turned around and pushed the object into the chamber. .

"Good high-explosive bombs!"

"Say hello to the white bandit for me, damn you!"

哢达——

boom--

Seryosha, who kept his vehicle charging at full speed, could not stop for Iushkin's artillery attack. The sight of the main gun, which was shaking with the whole tank due to the off-road snowy road conditions, was already very dangerous. Difficult to control.

If the first high-explosive bomb just now was accurately hit by Iushkin's superb gunnery skills and at least half of it by luck, then Iushkin's luck this time was obviously not very good.

call out--

With an ear-numbing scream, it roared past just a dozen centimeters above the head. The second 85mm high-explosive shell fired by Iushkin was regrettable because the gun scope trembled. It missed the target and blew up a small dirt bag behind the target German anti-tank gun emplacement.

Two men carrying ammunition boxes and MG34 general-purpose machine guns rushed past the German machine gun team, and unfortunately became the only results of this high-explosive round that missed the target.

"Missed! Iushkin! Aim and fire!"

"I know! But we are moving at full speed now. It is not that easy to aim. Besides, we will also kill De."

Ding-ding——

Before Iushkin could even finish the reply he blurted out to Malashenko, a high-speed armor-piercing projectile that came from nowhere suddenly hit the left front of the turret and made a loud noise.

Iushkin, who was forcibly interrupted from speaking, was very angry. He was about to yell something, but he was blocked by Malashenko's blurt.

"At ten o'clock, there are German tanks, three Panzer IIIs! There may be more behind them! Kirill loads armor-piercing shells, Iushkin kills them!"

The moment the crisp sound of ricocheting bombs sounded, he subconsciously swung his commander's periscope towards the left front of the turret. His passive way of searching for enemies allowed Malashenko to immediately capture the air that had not completely dissipated. The muzzle smoke came, and the three Panzer III tanks, which were covered with snow and turned into pale beasts, were all pointing their muzzles in the same direction.

"Damn Germans, what can your garbage tanks do?"

Ding-ding——

Boom——

Iushkin, who was whispering and cursing, was ruthlessly interrupted by the German attack again before he could finish his words. The remaining two German Panzer III tanks, which did not stop after the failed attack, opened fire almost at the same time.

No. 177 KV85, which was attacked by three armor-piercing shells in less than ten seconds, is still very strong. The three German armor-piercing shells that hit the edge of the gun mantlet, the oblique side of the turret, and the front of the car body all failed to work. Iushkin, who was full of buzzing sounds, almost gritted his teeth and once again grasped the turret steering wheel in his hand and started accelerating at full speed.
