Steel Soviet Union

After such a brutal bombardment, the German King Tiger could actually survive. This situation really surprised and surprised Kulbalov, who had been shot black.

How did this nearly 70-ton monster, which was even larger than a Red Army heavy tank, survive the bombardment? Could it be that the Germans also built a bunker for this monster? Or is it something else?

No matter what the reason was, Kulbalov didn't want to let the German Tiger King continue to be so domineering.

You must know that this thing is not a relatively harmless No. 4. It is the ground heavy armor unit with the strongest firepower output in the German armored force sequence: carrying a King Tiger with a length of 88mm.

Let alone the medium-sized tanks of the Red Army, which would be instantly killed by this thing as long as it took one shot. Even the heavy tanks of the Red Army were at risk of being destroyed in front of this thing.

Neither the IS6 nor the IS4 heavy tank is absolutely invincible, and the main frontal armor belt has corresponding weak points.

Once these weak points are hit by a full-caliber hooded armor-piercing projectile launched through the Chang 88, there is a high probability that the armor will be pierced on the spot and the projectiles will be poured into it, followed by an earth-shattering explosion and the head moving. , the entire tank will instantly turn into a blazing steel crematorium, and there is no other possibility.

Judging from the sudden flash of muzzle flash and the illuminated surrounding scenes, the experienced Kulbalov judged that the German Tiger King should be about seven or eight hundred meters away in a straight line. And judging by the fact that the firelight illuminated the situation for a moment and that there was no other gunfire at the moment, it was very likely that the Tiger King was fighting alone, just him.

Kulbalov had no reason to be afraid of this German monster. Due to his mission and mission, he had to completely eliminate it as soon as possible, and the radio transmitter in his hand soon sounded an order from the comrade of the division commander.

"The flares will be replenished immediately! Take your men and rush forward to kill this Tiger King, Kurbalov. There is no need to show mercy to the enemy!"

Similar to Kulbalov's idea, Malashenko also believed after a short period of thinking and judgment that the German tiger king was probably left to break up the rear, or it was simply a few SS desperate lunatics who wanted to pull some Red Army troops. A back-up vehicle to die.

Keeping this thing is both a threat and unnecessary. Eliminating it immediately is the most appropriate choice at the moment.

The location of the King Tiger was not illuminated by the first wave of flares launched previously, and it was in an endless darkness where it was difficult to see the specific situation around it.

The reason why it can see the location of the Red Army troops through the darkness and shoot accurately is entirely because the Red Army was illuminated by the flares it shot out. Relatively speaking, it was in a "red light and dark" situation. This was conducive to this lonely King Tiger taking the lead in launching a sneak attack.

After receiving the order from Malashenko, Kulbalov immediately took action. The nearest IS6 heavy tanks immediately heard the wind and began to change the course of their vehicles, preparing to charge towards the target.

At the same time, the Red Army tanks that were farther away and had not been ordered to attack were turning their muzzles and loading shells, ready to fire a few rounds at the German guy and cover friendly units to launch an attack.

Soon, a new round of flares that Malashenko promised to Kulbalov came over and fell straight into the sky. The incandescent light that was instantly ignited illuminated the entire cold earth as bright as day. Everything in the darkness has been pulled out and exposed to the world.

Because of this, Kulbalov, who stuck half of his head out of the turret to get a better view, finally saw the enemy's specific situation clearly through the telescope in his hand.

The huge King Tiger was stuck in the ground like a dying beast with broken legs. The track on its right side seemed to have been interrupted, and there was a large crater at the back of the track. , it seemed that it was at least the effect of the explosion of a high-explosive grenade fired by a 122mm cannon, which caused the giant tiger beast with a broken leg to tilt backward and sink into the pit.

"Comrade Commander, this King Tiger is paralyzed! The right track is broken and it is stuck in a large crater. It has no maneuverability!"

Malashenko was located far away and could not clearly see the specific situation that Kulbalov could see. The radio report from Kulbalov was the only first thing that Malashenko could know at the moment. hand message.

"Then don't hesitate! Send a few more cars to rush up and get rid of this mess quickly! Move quickly!!!"

Malashenko could no longer stand the feeling of being pooped on his head by a broken German bike with a broken leg. This was simply terrible! After hearing Kulbalov say that the Tiger King had broken its legs and lost its mobility, he became even more angry: Damn you! How dare you, a brat with a broken leg, show off in front of me? Look, I won’t bury you today!

Soon enough, just as Malashenko was emphasizing the order to Kulbalov again, the Red Army tanks that were farther away, but had shells loaded into their chambers and were ready for fire support, had already begun to attack.

Boom boom boom——

The dull heavy sound of the 122mm heirloom main gun in the thick night shook the cold earth. The small puddles formed after the rain fell during the day were stirred up by the violent storm of flames rushing out of the muzzle brake. There are ripples.

The 122mm full-caliber hooded armor-piercing projectile that escaped from the barrel roared towards the target with huge impact kinetic energy.

The accuracy may be slightly poor, but it is absolutely destructive. Once it hits the King Tiger's armor, it will cause some noise that can affect the operation of the crew. Even if it fails to penetrate the armor, it can still have some influence and delay. effect.

The effect of the first wave of salvo fire was actually not good. The long-distance cross-country maneuvers and violent bumps in recent days had some impact on the accuracy of the Red Army tank's main gun. This won't show much in a mid- to close-range firefight, but as soon as the distance is extended to a mid- to long-range, the error in accuracy will immediately show up and be infinitely amplified.

It was clearly aimed at the turret, but when it was actually fired, it hit the front of the strongest vehicle body. After a loud clang, it had no effect.

Hitting the front of the car body is actually a relatively good result. This can be regarded as a hit, even if it is just an invalid hit.

A small number of armor-piercing projectiles missed the target directly. The shells either flew past the head of the German Tiger King, or simply rubbed against the side armor of the vehicle, bursting out a string of blazing sparks, and then disappeared without a trace. , a scream that broke through the air echoed over the battlefield.
