Chapter 105: Guns on the Gun
With a "boom", in the light of fire and gunsmoke, Captain Marriner saw that the broken wall was shattered all at once, and the two German snipers threw the air wave into the air and fell directly into the rubble, not moving.
Captain Marriner's heart was terrified for a moment, and he suddenly had the feeling that if he shot at this tank with a sniper rifle, the tank would probably turn its gun and bombard him at the first time!
At that moment, the "KV-1" tank fired another shot, knocking out two German snipers hiding next to a bunker, along with the bunker.
Without hesitation, Captain Marriner put away his sniper rifle and withdrew from his position with his assistants, knowing that if he wanted to survive on this hellish battlefield, he should not think about fighting this devilish "KV-1" tank.
"Brother Sun, why do you always fight German snipers? We're in the tank, they can't snipe us, right? Seeing that Sun Hui ignored the attack of the German "No. 4" tank that rushed up and blasted another German sniper combat group away, Wang Linlin asked with some puzzlement.
"Your grandson is here to protect your pretty little face." Ye Chuchu saw that Sun Hui had no time to be distracted, and while observing the battle situation, he replied for him.
"What's going on?" Xiao Tiantian took advantage of the time to change the magazine of the machine gun and interjected.
"German snipers will specifically aim at the observation window of our tank, and if two shots hit one place in succession, the observation window will be pierced, and the bullets and glass will smash our faces." Ye Chuchu replied, "So your brother Sun will give priority to taking care of German snipers." ”
As soon as Ye Chuchu's words fell, a shell hit the "Crushing Fascist", and the body of the car shook violently, and smoke rose from the outside in an instant.
"It's not a tank gun, is it?" Due to the smoke, Sun Hui couldn't identify the target for a while, and asked loudly, "Who saw where did the call come from?" ”
"Eleven o'clock, Brother Sun." Ye Chuchu had been carefully observing the battle situation in the command tower, and she immediately found the place where the shell came from, "It's a cannon, not an 88 gun, the caliber is larger, it looks like a 150 howitzer." ”
Sun Hui immediately turned the turret and soon found the target, which was a 150mm "s.FH18" howitzer, which entered service with the Wehrmacht in 34 years, and its subsequent improvements were carried out by the German Rheinmetall and Krupp at the same time. In general, the 150-mm howitzer was unsuccessful, because the weight was too heavy, the firing range was too close, and its limited range was even inferior to the 152-mm howitzer captured by the Germans - an imitation of the German gun, despite this, the 150-mm howitzer was configured as a standard heavy howitzer in the Wehrmacht, and was used in conjunction with the German 105-mm light howitzer, but in actual combat, its combat effectiveness was not as good as the latter.
Sun Hui flattened the muzzle and aimed at it, the German gunners were still struggling to operate the cannon to aim, they had already seen the muzzle of the "KV-1" tank aimed at them, many people showed fear on their faces, but they did not run away, but still operated there hard.
Sun Hui shot a cannon, and he clearly saw that the grenade he shot hit the body of the German cannon, accompanied by a violent explosion and steel splashes, the German gunners were like puppets with broken wires, torn apart by an invisible hand, and thrown away.
After destroying the German artillery, Sun Hui turned his guns to the surrounding German "4" tank and "3" assault gun, and after destroying 3 "4" tanks and 2 "3" assault guns in succession, the German tanks probably realized that this kind of entanglement would only increase losses and was of no use, so they quickly retreated, but they still did not forget to cover the retreating German infantry when retreating.
The "Crushing Fascist" continued to rush forward, and because the "KV-1S" tank was faster and more mobile, it gradually widened the distance between it and the Soviet infantry.
Seeing the Russian tanks alone, Rear Admiral Walter, who had been hiding in the trenches to observe the battle, became extremely agitated, he had already seen the German gunners pushing the 88mm anti-aircraft guns into concealed positions, although the German gunners were extremely skillful, he still felt that their movements were too slow.
At this time, the Russian tanks had not yet discovered the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and they were still advancing, and a group of brave German combat sappers rushed up, holding cluster grenades in their hands, approaching the Russian tanks under the cover of German infantry machine guns and submachine guns, but whenever they got up to attack, the deadly fire from the Russian tank machine guns always hit them accurately, although they went forward, but none of them succeeded, and after a while, the Russian tanks were piled up with corpses, So much so that it actually hindered the advance of Russian tanks.
But the sacrifice of the German combat sappers was not in vain, and by the time their attack stopped, the 88-mm guns were ready, and the muzzles were already aimed at the Russian tanks.
The moment the 88mm gun fired, Walter's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
The shell hit the Russian tank accurately, and the Russian tank immediately rose into smoke, and it went forward a few more meters before stopping.
Seeing such a scene, the major general almost cheered.
The Russian tank stopped, but its turret was still turning, and it soon discovered who was firing at it, and the gunners of the 88mm gun saw its turret turn and gave up the operation and fled.
The Russian tanks opened fire unceremoniously, blasting the 88mm guns into scrap metal with a single shell, thankfully not a single gunner was injured or killed - after many encounters with Russian heavy tanks, they had learned how to survive on the battlefield and put it into practice.
Seeing that the Russian tanks seemed to have stopped due to mechanical problems, and that the Russian infantry did not keep up, the German infantry attacked it again, and this time Major General Walter saw his men use the new anti-tank guns.
This gun is an anti-tank gun of the "MSS-41" type, which was designed by the ZB plant in the city of Brno. The shape of this gun is similar to that of the "Bar-Prab" rifle (the barrel of the "Bal-Prabuk" rifle is fixed behind the stock, so the magazine is close to the bottom of the stock), its magazine is mounted behind the handle and trigger, the magazine is fed from the bottom up, and there is no bolt as on ordinary guns, the shoulder rest is against a buffer, and the buffer is preceded by a complete nose with a locking shoot. Behind the nose are mounted hammers and firing pins. Above the rear end of the barrel is a movable latching sleeve that engages both with the latching shoots in front of the buffer and with the shoots on the barrel.
