Chapter 1357: Crashing into the building
"Boom!" The German tank slammed into the window with an incomparably rapid momentum, and several medical personnel with guns in their hands hiding behind the window were knocked away in an instant.
If it is an ordinary tank, maybe it will have to hit several times before it will open a hole, but the Tiger tank is extremely strong, just one moment, the bricks and everything are knocked away, the tail engine is emitting black smoke, the driver steps on the accelerator hard, and the Tiger tank rumbles past.
A white coat with a rifle, crushed underneath, shouted loudly: "Help me! My third rib was crushed, and if it continued to come up, my chest would be suffocated, and I would have lost so much blood and couldn't breathe..."
His description was over, and the tank was rumbling up, his upper body twisting twice, never moving again.
The Tiger tank did not reduce the throttle and continued to rampage forward, countless rifles were firing at his tank, ping pong on the tank, but unfortunately it was useless, the tank was still advancing.
"Snort!" A terrible sound like a chainsaw came from the top of the tank, the remote-operated MG machine gun fired, and under a dense rain of bullets, the Soviets around them were shot one after another, screaming and falling.
The Tiger tank only drove in the building for a few tens of seconds, and it had already reached the other end of the building, where several white coats actually pushed the sofa and tried to block the tank's way.
The tank crashed into the couch with ease, and then, crashing through the building from the opposite side, a gaping hole was already being made!
At the same time as the tank crashed through the opening and exited the building, at the entrance on the other side, Romanian soldiers with submachine guns rushed in, keeping in mind their mission to protect the German tanks, even if they sacrificed their own lives!
"Boom!" When the tank crashed into a large hole and crashed into the back of the building, the driver immediately spotted the target.
More than a dozen Soviets, operating two 120-mm heavy mortars, are still firing constantly!
Salakovich put the mortar shell at the mouth of the barrel, and as soon as he let go, the shell fell.
The mortar shot is different from an ordinary shell, when it falls freely to the bottom of the barrel, it will hit the firing pin below, and then fire itself, and then fly out again, without the need for a person to pull the gun rope.
And in the heat of battle, almost everyone becomes numb, only mechanical movements.
Now, for example, Salakovich has just stuffed this shell in, and he almost doesn't use his brain to command with both hands, picking up the other shell, and preparing to stuff this one in after the previous one has been fired.
But at this moment, the hospital building not far away, suddenly the wall collapsed, and he was surprised to see a German Tiger tank, with the barrel backwards, actually crashing directly into the wall.
In an instant, he became anxious, and subconsciously, the shell in his hand was directly stuffed into the muzzle, and then let go.
"No!" At this moment, another deputy gunner on the side shouted loudly, and he, ignoring nothing, got up, spread his legs and ran out.
"Boom!" The barrel of the mortar suddenly exploded, and a huge air current, with countless fragments, was poured towards Salakovich, and in the last second of his life, he knew that he had made a simple mistake, and this mistake was enough to kill him!
Mortars are front-loading guns, and what this kind of artillery is most afraid of is repeated reloading.
When the first shell just fell, it was possible to reload the second shell at any time, if this is the case, the consequences are very tragic, the first one fell to the end, just fired, and the second one came up, just on top of each other, so the most serious thing is to cause the bore!
The shell of the 120 mm mortar can blow up a large crater in the ground, and now it explodes directly in the barrel, the power is also amazing, the barrel immediately scatters in all directions, splashing around, and Salakovich, who is close by, is directly killed, and his deputy gunner has no good luck, after running forward a few steps, he was hit in the back by countless shrapnel, under the huge air current, he fell forward, and has lost all consciousness.
At this time, Hans had just aimed his tank gun at this side, and before he could fire, the opponent's gun position actually exploded by itself!
The two gun emplacements, exactly on either side of the Tiger tank, Hans's barrel was aimed at this side, while the driver saw the other side.
Just when the gun emplacement on this side exploded due to misreloading, on the gun emplacement on the other side, the Soviet gunners had already reacted.
They quickly carried the mortar and turned it around the muzzle, and the distance was so close that they could hit it with little aim!
The mortar is a curved weapon, which does not mean that it cannot be fired directly, the gunners lift the back of the mortar and tilt it slightly so that the shell can fall in, while the loader uses all his strength to try to stuff the shell in, and then give the shell a backward velocity so that it can be successfully fired.
But they were still a step behind.
After discovering the dangerous situation here, the driver in front didn't have time to react at all, after all, if his own turret turned around, the other party would fire.
The radio soldier on the right side of the driver had already reacted at this time, he operated the machine gun in front of him, and fired fiercely at the gunners on this side, and after the sound like a chainsaw sounded, one gunner fell to the ground.
Starting with the Panther tank, the German tank was a five-man driving system, with three people inside the turret, the commander, the gun commander and the loader, and two people in front, the driver and the radioman.
In the past, the operation of the tank radio station was quite cumbersome, requiring special personnel to flip the switch, and the radio personnel were required to operate the superior, the subordinate and the car to talk.
But now, with the progress of German electronics technology, the latest car radios are already small, easy to talk to, and highly automated, but German tanks still have radio crews inside.
After all, the maintenance of the tank is quite physically demanding, and the five-person establishment can make the tank crew easier during maintenance, and at the same time, the radioman is still responsible for operating the machine gun in front, like the current situation, the driver himself has no time to operate the machine gun.
It was only for a moment, and by the time Zvidi reacted, the threat had been eliminated.
At the same time, Zwedi was quite excited to see that if you go over here, there is a shortcut that leads directly to the cistern!
"Forward, keep going!" Zwedi shouted loudly, for the tank crews, there is only advance, no retreat!
