The ZIS-3 76.2mm cannon, which was responsible for covering the B-4 howitzer, opened fire, and compared to the F-34 76.2mm tank gun now used by the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks, the ZIS-3 76.2mm cannon was actually not much more powerful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The ZIS-3 76.2mm cannon could not penetrate the 80mm frontal armor of the No. 4H tank at a distance of 500 meters, and had to be shortened to within 300 meters to penetrate a short section of 80mm armor plates mounted at a 90-degree angle on the upper part of the No. 4H tank. If you want to ensure breakdown, it is better to close the distance to about 100 meters.

However, a 76.2mm cannon was unlikely to move to the German tanks, so in today's operation, 16 ZIS-3 cannons belonging to the same artillery battalion were placed at a distance of 500-1000 meters from the target building. At this distance, they could suppress the German firing points on the target building with direct fire, and on the other hand, they could threaten the German tanks and assault guns - they could not penetrate the frontal armor and artillery shields, but they could still do it with a track, and they could also frighten the German reactionaries.

In addition, two valuable ZIS-2 57mm anti-tank guns were placed 1,200 meters away from the target building, carefully protected with camouflage nets and sandbags. Because of the problem of firing angle and occlusion, this gun, which was regarded as a killer weapon, could not reach Captain Schwarzenegger's tank for the time being, and could only quietly wait for the opponent to move into position.

Excluding the huge 85mm anti-aircraft gun, which was easy to spot on the battlefield, the ZIS-2 57mm anti-tank gun was the most powerful in the hands of the Soviet Red Army and the only one that posed a major threat to the Type 4H tank.

However, due to the high production cost of this artillery (the body barrel of 72.9 times the caliber is difficult to process, and a lot of rare metals are needed), it is equivalent to 10-12 76.2mm caliber SIZ-3 type, and the barrel life is too short, after 40 rounds, the muzzle velocity and accuracy will decline significantly, and after 50 rounds, the rifling will be smoothed, and the barrel will be scrapped.

Such expensive artillery was of course impossible for the Soviet Red Army, which took the route of winning by numbers, to be equipped in large quantities.

Therefore, after the "crisis No. 4" and the "heavy tank crisis" appeared on the front, the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR could only equip each tank corps, mechanized corps and infantry corps on the Warsaw front with a battalion of 57mm anti-tank guns (16 guns) as a killer weapon.

At the same time, several tank factories in the Soviet Union also rushed to produce a batch of T-34 tanks equipped with a 57mm tank gun (that is, the ZIS-2, which was already installed on the T-34 in March 1941, but was abandoned because of its short service life) for emergency use.

"Boom!"

Two 76.2mm shells flew past Captain Schwarzenegger's car and hit nearby buildings, opening two large holes in the solid brick wall. Frightened, Captain Schwarzenegger hurriedly retracted his sturdy and burly upper body back into the stuffy tank. Then he closed the hatch again and yelled, "Damn it! ”

"Stand back! Let's step back! Hurry back! "Captain Schwarzenegger did not want to joke with his own life and repeatedly ordered the tank to reverse.

"Bang dang!" As soon as his order was given, before the tank could reverse, a 76.2mm hood-piercing shell flew at high speed and hit the front of the tank. Captain Schwarzenegger, who had just retracted into the tank, was shaken and staggered because he didn't have time to grab the handle, and the door of his brain hit somewhere, and he screamed twice in pain. However, it can still be called, indicating that Captain Schwarzenegger's life is still alive, and the tank is fine, the engine roared, staggered and retreated.

"Thor, I'm Captain Schwarzenegger, it's your turn!" Captain Schwarzenegger was relieved to see that the tanks were retreating, picked up the intercom and gave the order to his wing's No. 2 car to attack—of course, there was not just one tank here, but as many as four. Therefore, it is possible to alternate sorties and cover each other.

Thundered!

After a loud bang, another B-4 howitzer fell. In the blink of an eye, half of the B-4 howitzer company was killed. However, Yakov, who was lying in the crater watching the battle, shouted excitedly.

"It's exposed! A tank No. 4! The 57mm cannon fires quickly! ”

It turned out that the No. 4 tank that fired the B-4 to kill the B-4 appeared in a bad position, and the body was exposed under the muzzles of the two 57mm tank guns in ambush.

Boom!

The two 57mm guns immediately seized the opportunity to open fire, and the first two shells were all missed, but the No. 4H tank, relying on its strong armor, did not pay any attention at all, but turned its guns and began to bombard the other B-4. At the same time that the 75mm high-explosive shell fired by this tank hit a B-4, it was also pierced through the frontal armor by a 57mm armor-piercing shell on the spot.

"Anti-tank guns! The anti-tank guns of the Soviets destroyed car No. 2! ”

Immediately, a voice sounded in Captain Schwarzenegger's headphones, the voice of Sergeant Anderson, the No. 5 car commander of his company.

"Oh God, car No. 2 is finished, burned into a fireball, and no one will survive!"

"Damn it!" Captain Schwarzenegger pushed open the hatch on the top and leaned out halfway to check the situation on the battlefield, but saw many German infantry carrying weapons and dragging 75mm infantry guns rushing out of a nearby building.

"What's going on?" Captain Schwarzenegger asked aloud, "Why did you run away?" ”

"Captain, Stalin's hammer (B-4) is going to fire!" An army non-commissioned officer stopped and said loudly to Captain Schwarzenegger, "We must move for the time being!" ”

It turned out that the B-4 howitzer, which had not been damaged, was already in position and ready to fire 203mm large-caliber shells. Because there were 4 KV-2s with thick skin and flesh to protect the front of this B-4, the 75mm infantry guns could not shoot directly, and although the mortar shells could kill and injure the members of the B-4 artillery crew, they could not pose much threat to the giant cannon itself, so the German soldiers stationed in this building could only choose to move temporarily......

……

Brandt, the "killer" with a replica of the Iron Cross of the First Class on his chest (the real thing must be kept properly, the official copy worn on the battlefield) is walking around a large building with a 62nd Division infantry in order to familiarize himself with the terrain - the building that his company will be guarding against.

At this time, a building more than 1,000 meters away suddenly collapsed after a loud bang!

"Oh my God, that house has collapsed!" Brandt exclaimed.

The soldier with whom he was familiar with the terrain said in a somewhat frightened tone: "It's Stalin's hammer!" ”

"What?"

"Stalin's hammer, a damned Soviet howitzer with a 203mm caliber!"

"It's B-4!" Brandt knew what Stalin's hammer was.

"Yes, that's the B-4," the soldier nodded, "it's a weapon for the Bolsheviks to demolish houses, and I think they must have wanted to demolish Warsaw...... What a beautiful city, just like that, little by little! ”

"yes, it's been torn down little by little, why is that?" Brandt looked at the collapsing house and let out a long sigh in his heart.

It is clear that two imperialist powers are vying for hegemony, but they are in the name of socialism, one side shouting for the establishment of a greater EU co-prosperity sphere, and the other saying that all mankind will be liberated. And the place where they fought, but in the capital of the weak Poles.

And it is clear that Warsaw is going to be razed to the ground!

……

"For the happiness and freedom of the Polish people, for the liberation of Warsaw, comrades, rush!"

With the shouts of a political work cadre, hundreds of world revolutionary fighters who had long been armed with rifles and submachine guns, eager to charge, jumped out of their hiding places, and then shouted "Ula! They rushed together and rushed towards the building that had just collapsed.

Yakov. Dzhugashvili also crawled out of the muddy crater where he was hidden, and together with the artillery battalion commander Sharapov, under the protection of several guards, rushed forward to check the three B-4 howitzers that had been knocked to the ground by German tanks. The B-4 is a very sturdy piece of equipment, even if it is directly hit by a 75mm high-explosive shell, it will not be broken into parts, and it can be dragged back to repair and used to demolish the houses of the people of Warsaw.

And at this moment, it was as if the screeching sound of the linen was tearing from the pile of rubble less than 1,000 meters ahead!

Before Yakov could understand what was happening, he was thrown into the mud, and then he felt some warm, slippery liquid running on the back of his head, and he reached out and touched it, and when he saw it, he realized that it was human blood. It turned out that the sound just now was that the Germans were firing machine guns!

Just as Yakov pushed away his comrades who were pressing on him, trying to see if the man was dead or active, screams, cries and gunshots as dense as fried beans were already coming from the front.

It turned out that the German soldiers only left temporarily when the B-4 opened fire, and when the house collapsed, they quietly returned and seized the ruins. Now they are fighting against the Soviet Red Army on the ruins!

After pushing away the body pressed on his body, Yakov found that this person was none other than the commander of the artillery battalion, Sharapov, who had now become a glorious revolutionary martyr, and the German bullets had opened several holes in him. When Yakov looked up at the area where the gunfire was dense in front of him, he saw the soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army charging one after another.

Fearless in the face of enemy bullets, you will be treated as if you were dead! (To be continued.) )
