Chapter 792: KV-2 (I)

The first thing Andrey felt when they saw this tank was an unparalleled sense of oppression, not only from the huge turret, but also from its overly large main gun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Andrei swore that he had never seen a tank of such a caliber, neither their own Soviet army nor the enemy's! Even if you only use your eyes to visually inspect it, its caliber is definitely more than the 122mm used in their common howitzers, and Ouge, who knows a little about Soviet-made calibers, guessed that this should be the Soviet army's 152mm caliber gun after a little thought.

"What?! 152mm?! Although the real thing was in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Ouge say this, after all, the T-34/57 he was using now only had a 57mm gun, and the caliber of this monster was almost three times that of his tank's main gun. Let's not talk about things like hit rate and launch speed, it's just the ability to destroy, and the two sides are not in the same dimension at all!

Although Andrei always valued the armor-piercing ability of tank guns, he was never optimistic about the short-barreled howitzer, which was also because their armor-piercing ability was too weak, and they did not have any advantage in the rate of fire. When fighting against enemy tanks, there is a possibility of directly damaging the internal members of the enemy tank, but in general they are still at a great disadvantage.

However, the tank in front of him now is completely different, if he attacks the enemy's tank with a caliber of 152mm, even if he uses a high-explosive grenade, the damage to the internal members has reached an unimaginable level, even if it is the heaviest tank he has seen so far, the Tiger, it is estimated that it will be difficult to completely take such a powerful blow, whether it is the members or the tank itself......

Andrei took a brief look, and the tank did not seem to have any bullet holes on its body, only a lot of shallow wounds from the black explosion, so it should be black and not destroyed. But since there is such a powerful tank in hand, why are these Soviet troops still in a bitter battle?

After Andrei learned a little about this situation, he couldn't laugh even more - in fact, when they were attacked, the Germans also attacked this monster when they focused on taking care of the heavy weapons they dragged in trucks. But no matter what, they couldn't penetrate the monster, and in desperation, they changed into high-explosive grenades and began to strike at the members of the tank.

For this reason, the gunner, the commander and the loader were injured to varying degrees by the first few shells, and the few people who took over were not much better. Due to the fact that they were in a state of being attacked by surprise, and the tank was really a bit bulky, there was no way to deal with this situation, and there was no way to continue the battle later. These members escaped from the tank under the cover of others, so that they could be guaranteed not to be left behind when they chose to evacuate.

At this time, Andrei understood why there were so many scars from the explosion on this tank, and it seemed that the Germans had also wasted a lot of effort on this tank, but the final result was only to injure the crew of this tank, and did not cause fatal injuries to the tank or any of the members, which is really a miserable record.

However, while Andrei was apparently learning about the situation with the reinforcements, his head was racing about another thing - tanks!

Right! That's right! He's just got a crush on this monster-like tank! Andre thought this was a big killer when he saw him for the first time, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many outsiders present, he would have even drooled his saliva down.

In fact, Andrei turned out to be a complete guerrilla warfare 'dirt bun', although he was very good at encountering enemy tanks in the field. However, due to the influence of many factors such as tactical thinking and the tank configuration of the squad, while his tactical thinking has advanced rapidly, his achievements in tackling tough battles and holding battles are not particularly great.

At first, Andrei thought it was not a big deal, after all, he only wanted to fight the enemy tanks. He avoided those tasks of attacking and defending battles as much as he could, after all, he was not so stupid as not to know what he was good at, but always pushed some tasks that he was not good at.

But after a long time, Andre found that the actual situation was not as simple as he thought, although Andre seemed to be a little comfortable in dealing with his superiors, but the way of fighting became diverse with the two sides from point-to-point contact at the beginning to face-to-face contact, and the battlefield was unpredictable, and no one knew what it would become in the next moment.

And a tank commander like Andrei, who is good at guerrilla attacks everywhere, will find some 'good things', but at this time Andre will be distressed that his T-34/57 is really poor in terms of destruction ability, and he is completely useless for some strong fortifications such as arsenals, and because of his lack of destructive power, he gives up good opportunities in vain more and more times, which makes Andrei feel sorry.

If the absorption of the KV-1 was due to Andrei's compromise in order to improve the attack and defense, then this tank is a compromise in terms of destructive ability, after all, the caliber of 152mm is really amazing, and the thought that it can shoot shells with a larger caliber than the current mainstream howitzer, Andrei is excited, even if this tank does not belong to him at all.

In addition to the destructive power, Andrei actually took a fancy to another point of this tank - deterrence. Needless to say, the terrifying shape of this tank can surprise even a well-informed and outstanding tank commander like Andrey, not to mention those novices who have just come into contact with tanks and those infantrymen who have never touched tanks at all, it is estimated that when they see this 152mm caliber, their legs are already trembling with fright.

After that, although Andrey's interest in the tank was very high, for the safety of the team, he still asked the others to drive the tank back, and his own team was only responsible for cover. Along the way, though, he asked a few things about the tank, which was named after the KV-1 that shared the same chassis as it was - the KV-2! (To be continued.) )
