Steel Soviet Union

Malashenko never thought about letting these Germans go since the beginning.

The direct reconnaissance company that was his pet peeve and his precious child was almost killed. It would be unreasonable for Malashenko to let these thugs continue to attack his nose and face.

Those who dare to seriously provoke Comrade Ma will generally not end up well, unless Comrade Lao Ma has no troops at hand and is really unable to do anything. In that case, the German stick may still be able to do it. He jumped up and down in a majestic manner for a while.

But now, Malashenko has a powerful combat capability that he has never had before, and even has the support of the 20th Guards Tank Brigade, which is also an elite force. Not only does it have an absolutely overwhelming advantage in terms of combat power, but strictly speaking it is no less than a conventional tank army, and it even exceeds it in terms of technical equipment.

By outflanking the two flanks and attacking in the middle, Malashenko not only had to defeat the German troops who had been stunned by the bombings head-on, but also surrounded them from both wings and completely cut off the retreat of the German troops.

All in all, as Malashenko said, none of these German sticks can even think of running away now.

The description of "provoking the wrong person" may be the most suitable for this group of German soldiers who are ready to fight to the death.

The IS6 heavy tank has medium-tank level mobility unmatched by conventional heavy tanks. The combination of a high-power diesel engine with an enlarged diameter and high cross-country trafficability makes the IS6 heavy tank look at the entire Stalin heavy tank from the perspective of future generations. The Tan family ranks second, second only to the steel behemoth IS7, which is directly adapted from the naval speedboat engine.

The advantage of mobility is particularly important in many cases, such as the current outflank run led by Lavrinenko.

Not to mention that the Germans who were planning to fight and make a last-ditch effort knew that retreating and escaping at the moment was unrealistic, even if the Germans really dared to do so, they planned to run away immediately. The IS6 heavy tank cluster, which is almost stuck to the back of the forward medium tank, running at a slightly slower speed and running at full speed, will not let the Germans succeed.

The King Tiger, which can compete with the IS6, is really fast, and the Black Panther, which can outrun the IS6, is a dead end when it comes to fighting this thing.

Those who can barely beat them can't run away, and those who can outrun can't be beaten at all.

There is a reason why Malashenko chose IS6 as the mass-produced standard equipment to replace IS2, and used his own ability to influence Kogin to finally achieve his goal.

The IS6 has a simple shape, and the armor layout is concise and neat without any sloppiness. There is no arrow cluster type upper armor like the IS3, which is a test of welding technology. It only has the most basic one-piece rolling and homogenization that is simplest, violent, time-saving, labor-saving, and money-saving. The steel armor is welded in parallel, and there is a cast turret that is similar to the IS2 heavy tank.

Simple and powerful things are often the most difficult to deal with. This not only perfectly adapts to the macro strategy, but also meets the needs of frontline combat. The three elements of mobility, protection, and firepower are almost perfectly balanced. The IS6 is fully worthy of the term powerful.

The German army, which was preparing to meet the enemy from the front, almost watched helplessly as the Soviet tanks, which were too lazy to pay attention to their own side, moved in two directions to outflank the left and right wings at the same time.

Dare to move?

The answer is don't dare to move.

If you were the current commander of the German army, and your face was being ridden by a larger group of black giant steel beasts, you would never dare to move. Whether it can block the frontal wave is a matter of doubt. Who dares to use the already stretched troops to intercept the Russian tanks that are outflanking them from both sides? This is not what you would do if you wanted to die!

Between sudden death on the spot and chronic death, the Germans, who could already feel the despair swirling above their heads, chose the latter.

Malashenko did imagine that the frightened German troops would surrender on the spot. Strictly speaking, this is not strange. After this series of violent battlefield changes and the tilt of the scale, this can only be regarded as normal.

But just thinking about it does not mean that Malashenko believes that this situation must occur. In fact, the Germans who do not surrender are the situation that Malashenko likes to see the most and is willing to see.

Before entering the regular combat distance of less than one kilometer, Malashenko, who was so courageous, even stuck his head out of the turret to observe the situation.

The outline of the German tank from the perspective of the high-power telescope specially equipped by the division commander was not very clear, but at least he could barely see the general appearance, which was enough for Malashenko, who was holding the telescope in his hand and mumbling to himself, to come up with the answer. .

"Damn it, he's really the German Tiger King! What Lavry reported is right! Even if he turns into a gray man, I'd recognize this fucking pie-faced look!"

Malashenko was momentarily curious at the time as to why the King Tiger that appeared on the battlefield for the first time had a later-production Henschel turret instead of the hip-opening Porsche turret carried on the first 50 King Tigers.

If it is a Porsche turret, it will definitely reduce the pressure on itself. The 100mm physical thickness of the turret has a huge bomb area on the front. Not to mention that the 122 heirloom can be bullied casually, even if the 85 gun is close, it can be directly Open the paste and blast it to your heart's content.

But the details are still insignificant in the end. Whether it is the Henschel turret or the Porsche turret, we have to deal with it. These King Tigers, who are making their first appearance in actual combat, must all be explained here today! I want to go up in person and check whether this Tiger King is strong and healthy, and whether it is developing normally. I must get a captured Tiger King to "let me see."

The brief memory of the moment was fleeting. At the moment, Malashenko, who was holding the commander's periscope and the vehicle in a fully enclosed combat state, had personally directed his IS4 heavy tank to run into the face of the German army.

Surrounding the No. 177 IS4 heavy tank are the guard heavy tank companies directly under the division headquarters. It is their only mission to protect the command vehicle of the division commander who leads the charge in the battle. They do not participate in regular battles. Once they go into battle, they represent the comrades of the division commander on the front line. This is the most appropriate description of this elite heavily armed guard force.

Malashenko, who also led all the remaining heavy tanks of the Second and Third Regiments behind him, had an unstoppable momentum. The huge and extremely heavy No. 177 IS4 heavy tank was like a moving steel castle spewing thick black smoke.

The German King Tigers on the position are already roaring and firing. Standing still is equivalent to firing first. This is probably the only advantage of the German armored forces at the moment.

The armor-piercing bullets that came out of the barrel at high speed roared one after another, but they had not yet hit Malashenko's command vehicle. Malashenko, who was very aware of the performance of his opponent and knew how to deal with it, never ordered a stop. He opened fire and ordered to continue charging, waiting for the final opportunity to kill the Tiger King with one shot.

Malashenko, who judged the combat distance by simply visual reference to the size of the object, finally made a decision and issued an order at a sudden moment while traveling at high speed.

"Iushkin, aim at the front of that bastard's turret! Fire and kill him!"
