Steel Soviet Union

"Assault formation! Each crew will step on the accelerator and rush upwards! Before the Germans come to their senses, nail them to that damn place. Follow me!"

If he leads his troops to fight the enemy alone, then this battle is likely to be the last battle Lavrinenko will face. ReadМ

Whether it was the main force of the division led by Malashenko, or the tank regiment from Kulbalov's side rushing over from north to south. As long as one of these two groups of reinforcements can arrive first and join up with Lavrinenko, then the next battle will definitely become much easier. If the two regiments go together, no matter how tough the German guy is, they will be able to chew him up. Broken.

In view of this, Lavrinenko, who knew that the German was about to die, directly mobilized all the troops at hand and devoted them all at once to the next offensive, intending to use all his strength and this attack in one go. Help the German guy who has broken his front tooth to fight to the end.

Regardless of whether this attack has results or whether the enemy can be completely wiped out here, it is no longer important to Lavrinenko. As long as these bastards can be dragged here so that they can't escape, the final result waiting for them will be death.

The Soviet army used all its resources in one go to launch a super-large-scale charge. The German army that faced it quickly responded and started corresponding actions.

In many cases, elite divisions don't even need orders from their superiors to know what they should and shouldn't do at the moment.

There is no doubt that the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division is such an ace Wehrmacht unit with strong subjective initiative.

Even though they were dizzy and unable to find their way around after being bombarded by Soviet air strikes, this battle-hardened elite division quickly recovered and responded. The black muzzle of the main gun followed the turret. It didn't take long to turn around and point to the target.

"The Russian heavy tanks, each crew fires at will! Take advantage of the terrain to seize the opportunity, and kill them when their sloping armor is offset!"

Waiting for the moving target's sloping armor to be offset by the terrain before firing. This is a tactical skill that puts the gunner's gunnery to a very high test. Even those third-generation main battle tanks in the 21st century that use advanced fire control sights are not guaranteed to be able to perform such a difficult shooting with flying colours.

So for these old-fashioned shabby cars from the World War II era, this is really a job that tests luck and places great emphasis on personal skills and abilities.

It's not like the German army has never done such things in the past, but those were all things that happened after the T34 crisis when the war just broke out in 1941.

At that time, the German armored forces did everything they could to destroy the annoying T34 head-on, such as shooting at the connection between the turret and the car body, paralyzing or jamming the steering gear, forcing the T34 to lose its turret steering ability and have to withdraw from the battle. Wait, those are all basic operations that are extremely proficient. Nowadays, any veteran armored soldier has basically done this.

Another way is to find an advantageous high ground in advance to set up an ambush, use the excellent main gun depression angle of the German tanks to lower it, and use the relative height difference to offset part of the inclination of the Soviet T34 armor. As for how much equivalent armor can be offset, it depends on the relative heights of both sides.

All in all, this is a helpless solution when there is really no other way and no one can do anything.

After the German army had a main gun powerful enough to penetrate the main armor belt on the front of the T34, this tactic that required setting up an ambush in advance, was too limited, and was extremely poor almost never appeared again.

The fact that after such a long time the unique skills of the year were put back into actual combat really made a group of veterans of the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division feel quite sad.

Why does this war keep coming back more and more? Our own few advantages were unknowingly eroded little by little, and now we have returned to the level where we needed to use the terrain to deal with the Russian tanks at the beginning of the war.

It's just that our side endured the most difficult days last time and marched to the gates of Moscow singing triumphant songs all the way. Victory was only a stone's throw away and within reach.

Although it was a nightmarish memory shrouded in the deep terror of the white winter, thinking about it now, at least I could still see the hope of victory. I don't know how much better than the current situation.

With the same tactics and similar circumstances, can our side survive this difficult period and attack Moscow again?

No one can give a definite answer. No matter how cruel the reality is, you still have to leave some hope in your heart.

Dreams always have to be had, what if they come true?

What's more, now is not the time to think about these nonsense, those Russian heavy tanks roaring loudly are about to run over their faces.

"Yes, yes, Russian girl, come to daddy, daddy has good food for you to eat! Go on!"

Click——

boom--

Carrying an extra-long 75mm main gun that looked like a fishing rod, it opened fire. The German Panther tank, which was crawling behind the hilly highlands, finally fired its first shell.

The armor-piercing projectile that burst out of the barrel at the precise moment it captured was indeed powerful and fast enough.

The high-speed armor-piercing projectile that roared through the air spanned a distance of nearly one kilometer and hit the armor plate on the front of an IS6 heavy tank at the front.

But in terms of bulletproof appearance design, the IS6 heavy tank is undoubtedly excellent enough. The super-inclined upper armor plate of the body was almost synonymous with "invincible" in the era of World War II. Even if you look around the world, you can't find a tank gun that can penetrate it frontally from a horizontal shooting angle.

But the problem lies precisely in this angle

The success is also the inclination, and the failure is also the inclination. The size of the relative inclination is the truth that the equivalent armor can never change.

The first shot of the German Panther was indeed very tricky. It hit the face of the IS6 heavy tank just as the front of the IS6 tank was pressing down and rushed over a small slope. It accurately hit the front of the tank. The center of the upper armor plate.

The relative inclination was offset, which greatly reduced the probability of the incoming shells ricocheting. No ricocheting occurred. This was the first good news for the Germans who had high hopes for this first shot, but it was limited to this. Just the last piece of good news.

Ding-ding——

The huge kinetic energy impact was accompanied by a harsh metal impact sound and sparks flying around. The hood and quilt were all smashed into a shattered 75mm full-caliber armor-piercing projectile, exhausting the energy used to fly to the target. All the remaining kinetic energy, but in the end it just ended up like a toy javelin embedded in the target, half-penetrated and firmly stuck.

The IS6 heavy tank's hull nose tilt angle is too great. This does not mean that the German gunners are not good at it, it is simply that the defense of the Soviet steel behemoths is too abnormal. Even the 75mm long fishing rod that Black Panther is most proud of and has a super penetration value can still not damage the IS6 even if the timing is absolutely accurate enough.
