Steel Soviet Union

"Report the situation, Lavry! I can already see the battlefield, and we will get into combat range immediately!"

The voice came from Malashenko, and Lavrinenko was very familiar with the voice of his good brother who spent time with him day and night.

Waiting and waiting for the news of "I'm here" from Malashenko, Lavrinenko, who felt that hope was within reach, almost grabbed the radio transmitter next to him with trembling hands. , speak loudly.

"The situation on the battlefield is critical, we can't hold on any longer! These Germans are all crazy! Come here quickly, Malashenko!"

Lavrinenko has never been so out of his mind, and it seems that he has never heard such an irritable tone and has no impression at all, at least in Malashenko's impression.

From the radio, he could already feel the imminent crisis. Malashenko, who took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down, then spoke back to the microphone in his hand.

"It has arrived! The first batch of IS6 will enter the combat position immediately. They are the fastest main force! In addition, we are preparing to connect with the artillery to provide bombardment directions. Self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers are responsible for providing you with direct fire cover. Combat deployment has begun. Ready in under a minute! ”

The critical situation no longer allowed Malashenko to order the ISU-152 to be driven into the German guy's face and aimed directly at him.

Regardless of where exactly these 152 high-explosive bombs hit and how effective they are, Malashenko is now issuing orders with the mentality that even if he can disrupt the Germans' offensive formation, they will add to the trouble. Order.

A burst of 152 grenade fire can cause some trouble for the Germans no matter how hard it is. If you are lucky, it will hit the turret cover. Don't say you are a black panther or a tiger. Even if you are a fucking King Tiger, you still can't handle it on the spot! Having your head blown to pieces is the only possible outcome. The latest equipment of the ISU-152 self-propelled howitzer is fully capable of this.

Malashenko, who was working tirelessly, not only prepared a battalion of ISU-152s to prepare for artillery bombardment, but also had the Katyusha self-propelled rocket launcher battalion with the heaviest firepower in the division also join this firepower feast.

A dense rain of rockets rained down. Even if you, the German, are the reincarnation of the God of War, you have to return to the West. Whether you are an infantryman or a tank, you have to go straight to the road. Malashenko, who has never been able to get the precise strike coordinates, is waiting. Now.

As Malashenko said, the echelon of IS6 heavy tanks galloping in the snowy wilderness at high speed arrived at the fighting position in a short time and were ready to join the brutal strangulation battle that was already turning intense.

At this moment, the Germans were still busy dealing with the Red Army medium tanks in front of them, intending to form a breakthrough and open up the current battlefield stalemate.

The German army's reaction to this large group of black Red Army heavy tanks suddenly joining the battlefield was obviously caught off guard and unpredicted.

The Black Panthers at the front were even attracted to their attention and temporarily stopped charging. A large group of King Tigers behind them who were responsible for covering the formation also began to turn their turrets. The black ultra-long caliber main gun is rapidly pointing at the target that has entered the range, and the moment for the roar of the main gun to start is imminent.

Lavrinenko had just been curious about the effect of using the 122-meter main gun to attack those new heavy tanks of the Germans. Although there was Malashenko's advice first, it does not mean that Lavrinenko doubted Malashenko's words or did not believe it. It was simply out of the basic principle that hearing is false and seeing is believing.

Lavrinenko really wanted to see with his own eyes what effect the 122 gun, which had been indestructible against any German tank in previous battles, would have on these new monsters of the Germans.

Those German guys’ crappy cars look really strong! There is no doubt about this.

But Lavrinenko still hopes more that Malashenko is wrong, even just once. The standard 122mm main gun equipped with heavy tanks is completely capable of dealing with these monsters. This of course refers to the effective penetration of a large area, rather than the need to accurately target weak points and shoot at close range as Malashenko said.

It may not sound like a big difference, and it can be beaten anyway, but Lavrinenko, who has extremely rich practical experience, knows that there is an absolutely essential difference between the two situations.

Just like now, at a distance of seven to eight hundred meters, you ask the 122 main gun to accurately aim and shoot the front of the turret protected by the gun shield. Not to mention that ordinary gunners of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division couldn't do it, but Lavrinenko, who had been a gunner and commander on the T34 for a long time and was nicknamed "Sniper Eyes", personally went into battle. To be honest, I'm not sure either.

After all, the tank's main gun is not a sniper rifle. Even if it is a high-caliber main gun like the 122 Heirloom, which is quite accurate in the Red Army, it is simply unrealistic for you to use it to do such high-precision work.

Not to mention anything else, whether it is Lavrinenko's temporary IS6 command vehicle or other IS6 heavy tanks that have just arrived. These steel behemoths, which had just gone through a long journey and motorized march, had not undergone any mechanical calibration of the main guns. After the bumpy and rapid march, the accuracy was no worse than the accuracy of the German 122 guns.

But even with so many objective factors, unknowns, and even unfavorable situations, the scene Lavrinenko is looking forward to is still coming soon and is expected. The IS6 heavy tanks with strong armor and sharp guns quickly turned their turrets and locked the target together after they stopped. The main guns roared almost at the same time as the King Tigers entrenched in the distance.

Boom boom boom——

The heavy armor duel between Chang 88 and 122 Heirloom began. The roar of huge artillery was accompanied by the violently spreading muzzle flames and blast of wind, stirring the surrounding air and causing flying snow.

The Chang 88's main gun must indeed be one step ahead when firing. This is an inevitable result of the favorable battlefield conditions where the German army waits for work and uses silence to brake. In the World War II battlefield where neither side had a two-way stabilizer for the main gun, whoever stopped first to stabilize the main gun and take aim first was the father. This is the absolute battlefield truth.

The first wave of armor-piercing bullets that came at high speed with a screaming sound hit the IS6's armor firmly. The German troops on the opposite side, who were quite confident in their new baby, almost didn't think there was any other possibility of failure.

These Russians who had just arrived to die on their tractors were beaten to pieces and their bodies were scattered all over the ground. This was definitely the only fate.

It's a pity that the truth in Russia is not on the side of the invaders in many cases.
