Fafnir gasped as he watched as the giant monster hurriedly ordered his Tiger No. 223 to reverse for cover. The beast ran over at 10 kilometers per hour off-road, occasionally stopping to fire cannons. The mighty fire suppressed the German tanks in front of them, and the "small" tanks of the Soviet Red Army took the opportunity to storm up.

The situation suddenly became very unfavorable for the German army, this monster completely ignored the German 88 guns, and used its huge body to cover the advance of the Soviet Red Army, and two 122mm and one 152 long-barreled guns on the three turrets posed a great threat to the German tanks and soldiers - Favinier saw a Ferdinand hit the side directly by the thick and long 152mm shell of the turret in the middle, and the Ferdinand was almost completely blown up after the smoke of gunfire!

The Germans saw the Soviet army taking the opportunity to attack, and had to rush out and shoot at the attacking Soviet tanks regardless of casualties, while several Panthers and No. 4 tanks were desperately approaching the monster from several directions, trying to interfere with the advance of the monster as much as possible. Fafnir also loudly ordered his chariot to approach the side of the behemoth, and at the same time opened fire with all his strength to attack the Soviet tank next to it, trying to knock out the help of the behemoth. At the same time, other German armored vehicles and rocket artillery fired smoke grenades in full force, enveloping the behemoth's surroundings.

This behemoth also has a great history: in 1930, Soviet tank designer Krivsky came up with the idea of a multi-turret super-heavy tank. The tank is designed to be the strongest hammer in the group, used to crush enemy resistance, and serves as the most important node in a tank battle group, both offensively and defensively. Its strong firepower and heavy defense make it a combat backbone, and other tanks can get important support firepower and body cover from this tank. This line of thinking started with the T28, passed through the T35 in the middle, and then was officially put into design in 30 years. Ten years later, the design of the two bodies has just been completed, as well as the design of the running gear and field tests. In 1940, designer Cliveski was held accountable for wasting state money and nearly shot. But he completed the final improvements to the power and running mechanism in prison, and in fact by mid-1939 the actual development work had been partially terminated, and the scrapping of the semi-finished body was already on the agenda. Thanks to the invasion on June 22, 1941, the designer Cliffsky was released from prison, and the military council was not available for a while to take care of the discarded and refurnace work of this model, Cliffsky took the opportunity to convene the original design team and use his spare time to continue to improve the production of this model, where he received strong support from Danny, the political commissar of the 112 factory, and specially allocated workers to provide production services.

Finally at the end of 41, all the improvements of the car body were completed, and the two completed car bodies carried out the actual marching test, and the test results were finally satisfactory, although the original design speed could not be reached anyway, but after all, it also drove to the level road surface 15 kilometers per hour, off-road 10 kilometers per hour, and the failure rate was also within an acceptable range. When the turret was tried to be installed for a full-equipment test, it was found that the original turret had already been allocated to the Soviet Navy shore defense forces and installed in the Sevastopol fortress on the Crimean Peninsula. At this time, the production task was extremely intense, and there was no time and extra man-hours for the production of the turret for this semi-finished product, which dragged on until mid-1942. In 1942, the abandonment of this "white elephant" (in the language of the military council) was again raised, and this time the commissar of the 112 factory, Danny, and the designer Krivsky were firmly opposed, and Danny especially proposed that workers could be mobilized to install guns on the turrets of the production of such tanks in the corners, and there were also suggestions in the committee to try again - after all, a lot of rubles have been invested in ten years, and it cannot be dismantled just like that... As a result, in 1943, an order was given to put the two tanks into battle, and Plant 112 provided two JS2 thickened turrets to be installed in the front and rear positions. The central turret was equipped with a redundant KV5 turret, which was mounted on a BL10 test 152mm cannon after enlargement and thickening improvements, and then mounted on the seat, and after the initial test, it could not wait to be put into the Kursk battlefield. The body of another car was left on standby in the factory due to the lack of turret, and this tank received a "Great Soviet" production designation - the GS1 super-heavy tank.

GS1 super heavy tank, 15 meters long, 5 meters wide, 5.5 meters high (including antenna), three turrets, weapons are one 152mm cannon, two 122mm tank guns, and nine machine guns, the gun range is 122mm 270 degrees, The 152mm has a range of 360 degrees, the vehicle weighs 400 tons, the engine is two M50 marine gasoline engines, each with 1300 horsepower, a total of 2600 horsepower, the speed is 15 kilometers per hour, and the off-road speed is 10 kilometers; the frontal armor is two wedge-shaped armor put together into a wedge-shaped ricochet surface, the front thickness is 180mm, and the side hull is also a 60-degree angle bevel, with a thickness of 150mm and a tail thickness of 100mm; the front of the turret of JS2 is 220mm, and the front thickness of the turret of KV5 is up to 260mm. The crew is set at 14 personnel, 2 commanders and deputy commanders, 3 gunners, 2 drivers, 6 loaders, 1 signal corps, and 1 additional commander to command tank groups using on-board radios.

The monster moved to the outskirts of Prokhorovka by rail, dismantled the tracks, and was dragged by the heavy locomotive using the inner load-bearing wheels as wheels, and after arriving at the battlefield, it took a day to install the tracks, just in time for the fierce battle on the 12th. The results have been good so far, destroying a Ferdinand, causing incalculable damage, suppressing the Germans in front of them, and eliminating many German military vehicles and infantry.

The GS1 continued to exert its might, with the 122mm gun destroying two more No. 4 tanks trying to get closer, and the 152mm overturning two No. 3 assault guns one in front of the other. Fafnier's Tiger approached about 1,000 meters, destroying and damaging several Soviet tanks defending the GS1 along the way, but other Soviet tanks also took the opportunity to destroy quite a few German tanks, especially the No. 4 tank and the Panther. The German Stuka in the air also desperately dropped bombs, and none of them hit the monster due to the interference of the Soviet Air Force fighters, and the near-miss bomb monster completely ignored it, still slowly crushing the German front.

A huge explosion sounded, 150 meters to the left of Fafnier, a Panther was reduced to parts by the GS1's heavy guns, while a Tiger was hit by the 122 and lost its combat effectiveness, and another 122 destroyed a No. 4, the German infantry was completely unable to get close to the GS1 to carry out the blasting, and the 9 machine guns firmly controlled the surrounding area of 100 meters. , fortunately, the number of Soviet tanks that followed on the side was limited, and they had already been destroyed quite a lot by the Germans, and they had begun to disconnect from the GS1. Fafnir had already fired more than a dozen cannonballs at the beast, and it didn't seem to have done much damage...... Fafnir himself was terrified of hiding from the artillery fire - if it weren't for his hunch, he would have been killed by this beast.

The Germans suffered heavy losses, and a Grizzly assault gun finally approached the GS1 under the desperate cover of several Tigers, firing a 150mm shell, but unfortunately it didn't hit! Then a Tiger that came out of cover was destroyed by the GS1, and the Grizzly Bear hurried to fire a second shot! Favenier clearly saw that the 150mm shell accurately hit the front and bottom of the GS1, and the explosion destroyed the GS1's tracks and some of the load wheels, so that the slow advance of the giant beast finally stopped!

At this moment, a Stuka in the air clumsily began to dive, and a huge bomb under the belly of the plane could be clearly seen!"These guys actually brought a bomb to engage in battleships!" Faffnier sighed.

The dive may seem slow...... But just a dozen seconds later, the Stuka seemed to rush to the GS1, and from Fafnier's point of view, the Stuka looked as if it was going to crash the tank directly with a bomb. In the blink of an eye, the bomb left Stuka, who pulled out of the dive at a blistering speed.

After a long day-like few seconds, Fafnir's astonishing dynamic vision could clearly see the bomb "slowly" touching the GS1 tank! Huge explosions, fireballs and smoke obscured the sky and people's vision, and the shock wave knocked down the infantry on the ground, and Fafnir heard a huge explosion and tremor in the tank. It took a long time for the smoke to clear, and the huge monster finally turned into a huge wreckage!

Before being destroyed, GS1 destroyed a whole German company of tanks: 7 Tigers, 9 No. 4 tanks, 5 Panthers, and 5 assault guns can be confirmed to have been destroyed by it. This achievement had a far-reaching impact! It directly stimulated the Führer's desire to develop the P-series tank, and at the same time, the Red Army completed the production of a second tank after the battle..........
