Chapter 913: IS-2 (I)

"Stop, stay put!" Under Andrei's order, the squad of eight chariots slowly stopped and stopped next to a cliff that was not too well concealed, but the defensive type was quite good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And if you calculate from this position, the destination of their trip is already in front of you. However, no one had any objections to Andrei's order.

The reason for this is that Andrei and his team were not peaceful on the road, in addition to being involved in skirmishes with other troops, they also had two encounters with the Germans alone. Although the fighting was rapid, and most of them ended with the rapid retreat of the German army, it was not enough to make Andrei let his guard down.

And on this last stretch of the road, Andre finally asked him to stop directly with the team that was not moving fast. Since the friendly radio station has not responded, it is up to Andre to confirm the situation. For this, Andrei had to be careful, and careful......

There was no need to get out of the car to reconfirm the situation, and Andrei quickly gave an order to the team: "Anton, you take Bella to climb the high slope in the direction of ten o'clock to cover us, Leonid, you keep an eye on the back of the point; Natalia, you take Boris and Oge to the main interview to investigate, and Xia Bing and I will touch it from behind to take a look. ”

With the roar of the engines, the eight vehicles drove in different directions, with Andre and Xia Bing being the most important, but their success depended on whether the other two groups worked closely together.

"Kid Anton, can you see us?" When Andrea's group, which was ready to wait for the opportunistic action, had not yet moved, Natalia's group was the fastest of the three, but this speed was also based on the premise of safety.

"No problem." Anton took out his telescope to observe Natalia's position in real time, and instructed them: "400 meters before your 12 o'clock, there is a 200-meter area that is our blind spot, you better go around it from the right. ”

"No, boy." Natalia smiled bitterly and said, "The terrain on the right is too open to walk. Don't worry about these 200 meters, I'll try my best to touch it carefully, you can help me look at the sides of the towering platform in front of me, I don't want two German tanks to suddenly come out of that. ”

"Got it." Andrei put down the microphone and shouted to Bella next to him: "Bella, keep an eye on the vicinity of the platform at eleven o'clock, as long as you confirm that the enemy is ready to open fire." ”

Anton jumped out of the tank, quickly ran to Leonid's tank, and then said a few quick words to him, and Leonid's tank drove towards a hidden position on the side, giving way to the rear of Anton and Bella's two tanks.

In the course of the year, among the battles experienced by the 217 team, there were many, many battles like this that were very different from the original plan, which directly led to Andre, who was not very fond of planning, to rely more on the performance of the scene, and this characteristic also affected the rest of the team.

"Natalia! Stop it! Just as Natalia was slowly exploring, Andre, who was supposed to be on standby, suddenly sent a communication: "I'm here!" ”

Regardless of the situation, Natalia took Boris and Og into concealment, while Andrei continued to observe the enemy, two German Type 4H medium tanks.

"It seems that I came here to explore the way......" Andre frowned and said, "But since you can explore the path here, it means ......"

While continuing to observe the movements of the two tanks, Andrei made some changes to his calculations.

After continuing to observe for half a minute, Andrei still decided to kill the two German tanks first, although this is likely to expose their whereabouts, but it is not clear the specific distribution of the enemy, and the risk of rashly introducing the enemy is still a bit too great. But even if he wanted to do it, it was not Andrei who was in charge, he immediately contacted Anton, who was in charge of support in the rear: "Your two o'clock direction, you are now walking on the avenue, have you located it?" ”

"Confirm the target, two German-made No. 4H medium tanks." After Anton received the target, he immediately called Bella, who was in the same group, and the two car groups were ready to snipe.

"Bang! Boom! ”

Two cannon shots sounded one after another, indicating the rapid approach of the two shells. Compared to shooting on the move or shooting at short stops, this kind of shooting accuracy in pure stationary time is much higher, and the target being aimed is not noticed, which makes it impossible for them to make any action to avoid shooting, and their ultimate fate is only to be destroyed.

However, it is true that Anton and they are not close to these two No. 4s, and the horizontal distance alone is already more than a thousand meters, and at such a distance, the firing accuracy of the tank gun is still slightly low. And in addition to accuracy, armor-piercing ability is also an important consideration, after all, after such a long-distance flight, the kinetic energy of the shell has also been consumed a lot, and it is difficult to say whether it can penetrate the thick armor of enemy tanks.

"Hit confirmed! Target 1: Temporarily paralyzed! However, as if ignoring these, the first salvo of Anton and Bella successfully hit a No. 4. The reinforced Type 4H, at such a distance, was still unable to defend itself against the incoming shells, which had pierced through the shell with a terrible hole in its upper armor, tearing all the surrounding armor apart.

Normally, with the 85mm guns of the T-34-85 tanks that Andrey's squad is now equipped with, it would not have a high armor-piercing efficiency at this distance for the slightly weaker Type 4H medium tank, but this shell was able to penetrate the not-so-fragile upper armor area, which was far from the level of firepower that the T-34-85 had.

And when the perspective is pulled back to Anton's side and sees the tank that Bella is in charge of, the truth of all this is revealed - this is a new heavy tank that has not yet been popularized in the Soviet Army, and its purpose is to replace the KV series tanks that are increasingly out of step with the times, and the car commanded by Bella is the second large model of this series - IS-2.
