Chapter 55: Aim, Fire!

The KV-2 heavy tank is a legend of the former Soviet Union in World War II, and the German blitzkrieg caught most European countries off guard until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and crashed headlong into the Soviet Red Army's steel torrent of T-34 medium tanks.

The main models of the German army, the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, became vulnerable in front of this round-headed and round-headed tank, and the iron-colored army smashed headlong on the wall formed by the T-34.

In response to this situation, Hitler ordered the development of a tank capable of fearless T-34, the famous Tiger.

And the USSR did not give up the confrontation, and the Kv heavy tank was their killer weapon.

The Kv-2 model, equipped with a super-large caliber 152 mm howitzer, once created a miracle on the battlefield where a tank blocked a German armored division.

Lin Xue's tank is the legendary tank that alone blocked the German armored division.

Chen Ming jumped into the tank turret, hurriedly stopped Lin Xue's action to return to Lille City, stopped the engine, and said, "Don't go back yet!" ”

The noise in the tank was too loud, Lin Xue and several of his bodyguards were buzzing in their ears, knowing that Chen Ming said it for the second time, Lin Xue asked in surprise, "Why?" Didn't we already capture that division commander? ”

"It's hard to fight in front, let's copy it from behind, with this big guy here, we have a high chance of success!" Chen Ming had to shout at the top of his voice, no way, Lin Xue and the others were basically in a semi-deaf state, and they couldn't hear it at all.

"Okay, you come to command, let's go do a big vote!" Chen Ming really didn't see that this girl was still full of belligerent genes in her bones, and when she heard the order to fight back, she not only did not hesitate, but also shouted excitedly.

"You go to the position of the communicator, I'll the gun!" Hiding Fritz in the grass next to him, Chen Ming came back and replaced the original gunner's position.

The KV-2 type has six members, but unfortunately Lin Xue and the others only have 5 people, so they vacate the communication troops who are not so important, which is why each of them has a tremor in their ears and cannot hear the sound.

After adding Chen Ming, everyone listened to Chen Ming's command and drove the tank all the way back.

With a weight of 58 tons, all the small obstacles encountered on the way were crushed until they returned to the camp of the 253rd Division.

"High explosive!" Chen Ming issued an order to the two loaders, asking them to load a high-explosive bomb into their chambers.

After more than ten seconds, a sound of reloading came from the headset.

Chen Ming shook the two crank handles, horizontal and vertical, and slowly aimed the muzzle of the gun at the back of the German defense line.

It is clear from the scope that the Germans, with their superior firepower, were on par with the French troops.

Their weapons were so good that they spilled out as if they didn't want money, and the French soldiers could only brave the rain of bullets and lean out to fight back.

This is not only ineffective, but also extremely dangerous.

But this has to be done, and the attacker can still choose a position?

Chen Ming's fingers were firmly pressed on the trigger of the gun, just like the trigger of a sniper rifle.

Turning the turret, a simple wooden bunker appeared in Chen Ming's eyes, just built with ordinary logs, and some sandbags piled up in front of it.

However, although this kind of pillbox is simple, the lethality of the infantry is not small, and there are two MG42 machine guns in the pillbox, and the bullets are constantly spilled on the French front.

Chen Ming's position was only a few hundred meters away from the German defense line, and this distance from the short-barreled howitzer of the Kv-2 was not too far off.

Chen Ming aimed the muzzle of the gun at the machine gun pillbox, took a slight aim, and pulled the trigger of the gun with force.

"Tom"

With a muffled sound, dozens of kilograms of warheads flew in an arc towards the German lines.

The 152-mm high-explosive warhead, filled with explosives, fell directly into the machine-gun pillbox, and the moment the warhead touched the ground, a violent explosion occurred.

The entire wooden bunker was like a balloon filled with water and still filling it, and it was propped up from the inside.

The logs that were blown up flew out irregularly, and these logs became even more terrifying killers, and the position within a radius of thirty meters was directly beaten into a no-man's land by the logs.

The wails of the wounded soldiers were heard incessantly.

The French on the opposite side were stunned when they saw this, and then turned their guns and aimed at the positions on both sides, and the soldiers on this section of the front were rescued from the guns of the two machine guns, and they would put more pressure on the other Germans.

"Reload! High explosive! ”

The moment he pressed the trigger, Chen Ming shouted at the headset, his two hands were not idle, and the two cranks were turned fast by him.

They will not be quiet here for long, at most three artillery shots, and the tank will become a target for German fire.

Even now, some German soldiers have reacted and kept looking behind them.

Lin Xue saw the searching soldiers, and subconsciously hung up the reverse gear and prepared to leave here, but before moving, she was yelled at by Chen Ming: "Don't move, stop here, we are still safe!" ”

Chen Ming's words were not polite, but they gave Lin Xue an incomparable sense of security, she stopped the reversing action, and instead ordered the communication soldier next to her to put the machine gun on the chain.

Chen Ming turned the turret again and swept over the German defensive position, he still had a chance to fire two shots at most, and he had to seize this opportunity to tear the German defense line apart.

His mission was to hold the city of Lille for 48 hours, which would have been an impossible task if the French soldiers suffered too many casualties.

Soon, the target reappeared, this time a small ammunition depot in a tent.

This ammunition depot is very close to the German defense line, and it should be set up to facilitate the German troops on the defense line, but this ammunition depot is a little far away from the position of the tank, and there are some debris in the middle, and the firing range is not very good.

"Bet!"

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger again, but this time the goddess of fate was not on this side, he watched as the shell dragged a trail past the side and plunged headlong into the German defensive position.

A few unlucky people who were concentrating on shooting became scapegoats, and were blown three or four meters away by the explosion, tumbling and falling to the ground.

"Reload!" Chen Ming roared angrily.

The German soldiers had already spotted the big guy who was firing two shots in the rear, and some of the soldiers had already organized themselves to shoot at the tank, while the other part of the soldiers had picked up the explosives that had been prepared and hid and approached the tank.

The spherical machine gun on the front of the car spewed out a chain of bullets, wantonly harvesting the approaching German soldiers, who quickly scattered to the left and right, dodging into the dead corners where the machine guns could not hit.

Lin Xue operated the tank to swing left and right in place, trying to expand the firing range of the machine gun, and an anxious voice also came from the headset: "We must withdraw, they will blow us up into the sky with explosives packs!" ”

"Steady, don't rush, fire another shot! One shot only! The shaking of the car body made it impossible for Chen Ming to aim at all: "Stop swinging, we only fire one shot, and leave here with one shot!" ”

German rifle bullets hit the tank's armor with a "clang" sound, and more and more soldiers joined in firing at the tank, a situation that was very dangerous for the slow-moving Kv-2.

Lin Xue looked at the German soldiers who kept shooting, gritted her teeth, and reluctantly stopped all the movements in her hands.

"Reloaded!"

At the same time, the voices of the two loaders were heard from the headsets.

Chen Ming didn't have time to aim carefully, he prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky in his heart, and pulled the trigger hard.

"Tom!"

The low sound of cannon fire did not interfere with Chen Ming's observation, and from the trajectory of the cannonball, Chen Ming had clearly guessed the landing point of this cannon.

As he made his judgment, the shells arced headlong into the tent that served as an ammunition depot.

The explosion came as scheduled, and as the shells exploded, the detonated mountains of bullets were more powerful killers.

Like exploding fireworks, countless stray bullets dragged the flames of light from one center and then flew out in all directions.

The infantrymen who were approaching the tank did not expect the attack to come from behind, and a dozen soldiers were knocked to the ground by stray bullets flying from behind, and the other soldiers also hurriedly fell to their stomachs and prayed that God would not give up on him so soon.

At the moment when the landing point was determined, Chen Ming shouted: "Retreat!" Load! ”

The two words were shouted almost at the same time, Lin Xue was waiting for this order, and at the same time that the retreat order was shouted, she stepped on the accelerator to the end.

Everyone in the car was pushed by inertia, and the tail of the tank emitted billowing black smoke and retreated at a speed like a turtle.

When the ammunition depot stopped spraying stray bullets in all directions, a group of German soldiers continued to approach relentlessly.

It's just that the machine-gun fire on the front of the car is really fierce, and almost all the pursuers are pressed to the ground and cannot move.

But that's just pretty much it.

The soldiers who had previously outflanked them were not far from the tank, and they went around in a larger circle, but approached the retreating tank by a safer route.

"Think of a way, Lone Wanderer, they're less than twenty meters away from the tank!" Lin Xue's tone was even more anxious, and from the periscope of the commander's position, he could clearly see the approaching enemy.

The retreating tank suddenly shook, and a small explosion passed through the armor into the tank.

The tanks were still retreating, but there were already German soldiers who could throw explosives at the tanks.

They underestimated the thickness of the armor of the Kv-2, and the explosives thrown on the sides of the turret did not cause any losses to the crew inside the tank, but this was a bad start, since one was useless, they could have thrown ten of them!

Chen Ming, who felt that he was being attacked, was stunned and shouted loudly: "Communication is coming!" I'm going to figure it out! ”

After saying that, Chen Ming pulled the handle on the back of the turret with both hands, and the whole person left the gunner's seat.

And the communications soldier also curled up and squeezed into the gunner's position.
