Chapter 30: The Most Reliable Comrade
The "reliable comrade" drove the huge KV-5 with a roaring engine roaring towards the riverbank flush with the river, also in front of the Hessian motorcade!
The KV-5 is very heavy, but the huge body accommodates two very reliable V-2 diesel engines in World War II, 1200 horsepower, the power of the engine is very strong, the power is much faster than that of infantry tanks, and the weight ratio of only 30t in France is also very powerful, and it is enough now.
It was already very close, and the KV-5 rushed to the shore before the opponent's artillery could be aimed, and the destroyed Panther tank was used as a shield in the middle of the road!
In this way, the weak point of the tank is also hidden.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a huge splash erupted from the nearby river, where a bullet hit, what appeared to be a projectile ballistic, perhaps a deterrent shot from a distant combat vehicle of truth based on the coordinates reported by the KV-5.
"Captain, is that?" Miho felt that the blow was a little strange, the feeling of shooting from behind.
Maho didn't make up his mind, the number of tanks that appeared in the truth has not yet reached the total, and now it's not strange that even if there are enemy tanks in the rear, but looking at the falling trajectory, it looks like a self-propelled gun or something, and it's really hard to make a conclusion about the information obtained by just one shot, and at this time it's still the most important thing to deal with the KV-5.
Just in case, Maho still gave the order to guard the rear of the car at the end.
At the same time, the KV-5 also launched the operation of "reliable comrades" -
Nina: "Shoot as many shots as you can!" β
Alina: "Don't underestimate the monsters of the streets! Even though this is just the eldest sister of Little KV! β
The turret of the KV-5 was slowly turning as fast as possible, and in conjunction with the hull steering, it was again aimed at the vehicle on Hess.
"Don't be funny! Such a backward tank! Erica roared and ordered the gunners to open fire.
"Boom!" The armor-piercing shell of the 88mm long-barreled cannon hit the front of the KV-5.
The front of the KV-5's turret is 180mm, even if the distance is 500m, even if the King Tiger's gun hits the strongest position of the KV-5 turret, as long as there is no ricocheting, there is absolutely no reason why it cannot penetrate, not to mention that it is now less than 10m?
The design of the KV-5 was originally a product of the Soviet-German war, and the indicators were very high, and it was definitely cruel to deal with the German tanks of the same period, but it could only surrender in the face of the Tiger King.
However, in a hurry to seize a little time, the KV-5 finally fired a shot that hit the turret of another King Tiger.
The King Tiger turret is generally very powerful, and it is no problem to deal with this gun developed before World War II, however, this King Tiger turret is Porsche's! The thickness is only 100mm, and despite the radian, the KV-5 is also high, plus the barrel is deliberately depressed, and the arc is artificially reduced, so -
The Tiger King was destroyed by KV! It's a shame for the German zoo!
This raid of the KV-5, replacing a Panther tank and a Porsche Tiger King, simply earned grandma's house. Moreover, other purposes seem to have been achieved.
The atmosphere at the scene became awkward, the KV-5 and the Panther tank were stacked on top of each other, and the total weight was similar to that of the rat tank, how did you want the Hessian Peak to push away the 700-horsepower tank?
Suddenly, the frightened voice of the car at the end sounded on the radio: "Report, a large amount of artillery fire was found in the direction of ten o'clock!" Lots of artillery fire! β
However, this warning was too late, and the sound of dull compressed air came from the sky, not a sharp whistling. It was also a sign that enemy bullets were coming in this direction, and the sound of pushing the air came first.
Before he could react, all the outcropping captains retracted into the car and fastened their hatches.
Immediately afterwards, the "bomb rain" dragging the flames fell from the sky!
Rockets over 300mm landed on the heads of the Hesshorn convoy like the previous downpour! Explosions and splashes come and go! It even makes people feel that this tactical bombing-like attack will not cause a landslide.

In terms of the School of Truthββ
Even in the jungle, not far from the entrance to the Truth Field, even the most lush vegetation in the area could not completely cover the towering shelves of the two chariots, and rocket after rocket was firing out one after another to ignite the tongues of fire at the tails.
The Katyusha rocket launchers, which were carried on the chassis of some KV series vehicles, and at the same time carried the turrets of the tanks normally, during World War II, only a small number of experimental vehicles were produced.
The seemingly flawless combination of both a powerful main tank cannon and a Katyusha rocket launcher that covers the blow is actually very bad, and the chassis of the KV series of combat vehicles, which is overwhelmed at all times, plus the weight of a fully loaded rocket launcher, also has to ensure the ammunition load of the tank gun, which is undoubtedly a nightmare for the suspension of the tank.
Now the weight of the KV-2 and KV-122 ...... It has already been mentioned, about 60t and 70t respectively.
Before and after World War II, the most reliable engine in the Soviet Union was the V-2 diesel engine and a variant version made to adapt to various types of combat vehicles, with 500 horsepower...... Up to 600 horsepower, it is very reliable in the T-34 and runs very far, but it is a little embarrassing in the heavy tank, but fortunately it is enough for a tank that does not need to be soared. But before the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Union had unrealistically studied various super tanks.
For this reason, a high-horsepower engine is needed, for example, when developing the King Tiger heavyweight KV-3, a 750-horsepower V-5F diesel engine or even an 850-horsepower engine was used, because the V-2 500-horsepower engine was far from being able to meet its use requirements.
This engine has more horsepower than the German engine used in the King Tiger, and it seems to be the right engine. However, the condition of this engine at the time of testing was actually very bad, and it was constantly debugged during the testing of the 222 Project experimental vehicle of the King Tiger heavyweight KV-3.
In the end, it was not used in large quantities, but was used in some experimental research, such as the vehicles seen today. And it is also within the rules of the Battle Lane League.
These are post-war imitations of modern materials, reliability is guaranteed, at least so far it is enough.
Now, because it can be equipped with this engine, the Chariot of Truth has managed to carry the Katyusha rocket launcher and act as a Katyusha rocket launcher without leaving the chariot form!
Although the base is still a tank, after all, they are in the rear to suppress firepower, although the tank itself is also very good, but the advantage of their firepower is still in the rear, the most obvious is the range advantage, but it is also a disadvantage - the accuracy is too low, so you have to shoot all the ammunition out in one go.
Originally, the Katyusha rocket launcher was just an additional add-on to the tank, which did not affect the bomb load of the tank itself, and destroying an enemy vehicle was considered a profit.
Determine the exact location of your side, according to the approximate location of the Hessian convoy that the "reliable comrade" identified and reported before his "death", and then confirm the launch of the elements.
