Steel Soviet Union

In the era of post-modern warfare armed with high technology, infantrymen have many anti-tank weapons and equipment available.

Various barrels and recoilless rifles are basic weapons, and more high-end anti-tank missiles include fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles, which can not only penetrate the weak side and rear armor of a tank with a single hit, but also use large-caliber missiles It is not impossible for an anti-tank missile to hit a main battle tank head-on.

But during World War II when anti-tank weapons were scarce, infantrymen did not have so many anti-tank tricks.

It's actually quite good to have anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns available. If you don't have anything useful, you have to go up with explosive packs and anti-tank grenades. Going up there is basically a dead end. One piece.

Of course, the more extreme ones were those leading the Japanese Empire. Their glorious record of ramming a tank with a toilet peg in their hands was truly unprecedented and unprecedented.

To put it bluntly, this is even more exciting than holding an explosive bag and fighting upwards.

Germany, which claims to have the best technology in the world, will naturally not engage in such a low-tech thing. Facing the huge anti-tank pressure on the front line, the Germans worked hard and worked hard on research and development. The final usable result is in The most famous "infantry artillery" on the battlefield of World War II: the Panzerfaust anti-tank grenade.

It is actually a bit inappropriate to say that the Panzerfaust is an anti-tank rocket launcher. As an infantry anti-tank weapon of the same era, the Bazooka is essentially different from this thing. Bazooka's rockets follow a straight trajectory. The rockets are at least equipped with an engine that can work for a short period of time, and their range is pretty good.

As for the Iron Fist, this thing purely relies on the chemical energy of the propellant in the slender tube to push the large anti-tank grenade in front of the tube and fly out, following a standard parabolic trajectory.

As for the range, in addition to being technically sophisticated, you also have to pray for the bonus of faith in the head of state. You can’t hit this thing just by aiming accurately. The initial flight speed of 35 meters per second is simply unsightly.

Does Iron Fist have any advantages?

Of course, the biggest advantage of this thing is its power.

Not to mention the crispy skin of the small T-70, even if it is replaced by the rough-skinned and thick-skinned IS2, there are still many areas on the front main armor belt that cannot withstand the blast of this thing.

The armor-piercing depth of 200 mm was simply too high for later generations, but during World War II when composite armor and explosive reactive armor were not popular, this level of armor-piercing depth was simply the best for traditional homogeneous steel armor.

The iron fists carried by this small group of German troops on the position greatly exceeded the battle predictions of the Soviet reconnaissance troops. No one expected that the wooden box the size of a grenade box actually contained highly efficient infantry anti-armor weapons that could easily destroy tanks.

Captain Alexi, who mistakenly thought that as long as the anti-tank gun was knocked out, the Germans would be out of business, he was overturned in the gutter.

Those "sticks" with a range of only a few tens of meters had no effect at all at first. Captain Alexi led the infantry and tank team to charge forward at a rapid pace, basically without any obstruction from the Germans.

But as soon as the tank drove onto the German position, an unimaginable nightmare enveloped everyone and hit their heads accurately.

Captain Alexi didn't know what those elusive Germans were holding. They were actually able to fire one of his tanks one by one while being very portable, able to move freely, and could be operated by a single soldier. Send them off one by one.

After killing a German who came to attack his car, Alexi, who stuck his head out of the turret despite the hail of bullets flying across the battlefield, finally saw clearly that the thing the German was holding was actually A "stick"!

A stick as thick as an elbow can blast one's own tanks from a distance? What a fucking joke! ?

Captain Alexi, who was shrouded in extreme shock, still maintained his clear consciousness and ability to judge. Knowing that the enemy had weapons beyond conventional recognition, if he ordered the tanks to continue to move forward, it would be an act of seeking death.

To be on the safe side, Captain Alexi ordered the remaining tanks to stop advancing and stay on the spot as a direct fire point in front of the formation, using main guns and machine guns to continue to put pressure on the Germans who dared to show their heads.

"Take your men up! The tanks will cover you. The Germans have anti-tank weapons that we don't understand. Be careful!"

Some of the heavy tanks of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division were trial-installed with the infantry wired telephone developed by Karamov.

However, there is no such configuration on the light reconnaissance tank. Alexi can only risk his head sticking out of the turret and barking orders loudly.

The infantry platoon leader who led the team managed to understand Alexi's meaning amidst the fierce exchange of fire. He immediately waved his hand and led the soldiers in his platoon to charge forward.

Unfortunately, this obviously newly constructed position not only had shallow trenches but also lacked transportation trenches. Many tall and tall Red Army soldiers had to hunch over to barely find cover.

The thieving Germans used the few remaining machine guns to block the main communication trenches leading to the rear of the position. It was obviously impossible to win with smaller casualties through this. But if they jumped out of the trench and straightened up and launched a charge, the losses would be too great. A platoon of light infantry simply could not afford such a large-casualty tactic.

The Il-2 attack planes in the sky were constantly diving, rising, turning, and diving again. The roaring and roaring sounds of wing cannons and large-caliber aviation machine guns were endless. The red tracer barrage was like a river of fire falling from the sky on the German-controlled positions. In every corner, snowflakes and broken soil agitated one after another, and from time to time, German soldiers staggered to the ground amidst a burst of howling like a slaughtering pig.

However, the stalemate situation in the battle did not change. The German troops, who already had more troops than the Soviets, fought to the death no matter what. No matter how heavy the casualties were, they still forced themselves to stay on the position despite the air raids and faced off head-on with their opponents. Even Captain Alexi, who led the team and commanded the battle, was astonished when he saw such a tenacious fighting will.

"Whose army are these German guys from? They look like a bunch of lunatics!"

The stalemate situation in which the offensive forces were insufficient and the defenders could not use excess forces to attempt a counterattack did not last long.

When the roar of steel roared from the far end of the rear, before Captain Alexi had time to look back, he heard a rapid sound from the wireless transmitter hanging in his hand.

"Valery, Commander of the Medium Tank Battalion of the 1st Tank Regiment, we are here to support you! Let's crush the fascists together, comrades!"
