Chapter 1882: Never Surrender Until Death
Although it has long been replaced by the newer MG42 in most infantry units, this does not mean that the MG34 is an outdated and useless equipment. For example, those MG34s equipped on German tanks are still efficient and terrifying killing machines. Read М
The gunner, who already has excellent eyesight, can clearly see even without the help of the gun mirror that it was the Tiger King vehicle with the call sign 217 parked at the entrance of the village that suddenly opened fire and spewed out a burst of hot flames, killing the loader who had been with him day and night and cooperated tacitly on the vehicle, and he didn't even have time to escape.
The fate of being hit in the arms and legs by a MG34 is nothing more than amputation, but if you are hit in the torso by this extremely fast-firing killing machine, to be honest, if you can still survive, it would be a miracle.
Because you don't know how many bullets were shot into the body in just two or three seconds. This extremely fast-firing dog-mongrel machine gun is never ambiguous in taking people's lives.
"Calm down, please! We still have guns in our hands, and we can continue to fight! You have to continue to lead the two of us, we are still a crew, a collective, always have been!"
The commander whose arm was grabbed was already unwilling and full of resentment, but looking at the flames and smoke that had already leaped out of the turret, he also knew clearly that nothing could be done, and it would be meaningless to rush up and do anything at the moment.
The comrades have passed away, but the living soldiers still have to continue fighting for victory and other living people around them. There is no other choice.
"Hold your guns! Follow me, let's leave first!"
The car that was on fire could explode at any time, and staying here would definitely not be a long-term solution.
The commander, holding the steel gun in his hand, quickly ran to the nearest tank with the two surviving comrades, seeking cover from the other intact tanks of his side.
The steel fight between the tanks did not end because of this, and it continued.
After enduring another round of direct fire from the two Tiger Kings at the entrance of the village, two of the last five IS6s, four of which had been destroyed, finally aimed their bodies at the enemy's location and the turrets drove the black muzzles to point them at the target.
The two IS6s with broken tracks were still making difficult turns. One side of the walking device was completely destroyed, and the track was thrown off, causing the body to sink, making one side of the two IS6 heavy tanks completely touch the ground. The single-stream transmission track alone could not complete the body turning under such a large friction.
The terrible situation that only the turret could operate normally made it extremely difficult to aim at the enemy, but the crews of the two IS6s that were paralyzed on the spot still did not give up and were still trying their best until the enemy was eliminated or they sacrificed themselves.
"These Russians are too stubborn! Karl, don't they fear death and surrender?"
Yes, some people may forget the existence of the word "surrender" in such a fierce and intense battlefield.
With such huge casualties, the ordinary Soviet army would have collapsed long ago. More than half of the tanks were destroyed, and two of the remaining tanks were disabled and could not move. The situation was absolutely unfavorable to these Russians. Why didn't they know what was good for them and quickly choose to abandon the car and surrender?
"After the fight, ask them yourself! If there are still alive, open fire now! Don't stand there stupidly!"
The high-intensity fight of burning steel made Karl's adrenaline soar to the extreme. Karl's nerves were stretched to a string and he had only one goal: to quickly kill the last two Russian steel monsters that were intact and about to fire at him.
"Armor-piercing shells are good!"
"Reloading complete!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
The advantage of being stationary and firing first allowed the two Tiger Kings, which were already fast at reloading, to take the lead again and fire for the third time before the IS6s, which had just turned and whose muzzles had not yet completely stopped shaking, could aim.
But this time, what was left for Karvus and Kosher was not the fragile rear armor or the side of the IS6.
The two ruthless and well-maintained IS6 heavy tanks had turned and were facing the enemy head-on. The solid main armor belt became the most favorable guarantee to resist the enemy's artillery fire, a powerful defense that must be broken through if you want to destroy the IS6 head-on.
Karvus knew that the front armor of this iron bastard was not easy to deal with, but at this point he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. There was no victory without destroying it, and it was too early to make a conclusion about who would win.
Two 88mm full-caliber armor-piercing shells were fired at the front of the turret in an instant. The first armor-piercing projectile that hit the armor hit the edge of the gun root accurately, less than half a fist's width away from the weak point of the turret's front armor where the gunner's sight was set.
It was only one step away from success, but at this moment, this step was like a chasm.
If you don't hit the fatal weakness, you don't hit it. The real tank battle of cruel fighting will not have the setting of grinding blood bars in the game.
Crackling--
Swish--
The armor-piercing projectile that hit the arc-shaped part of the upper edge of the gun shield was directly bounced away, like a meteor across the sky pointing obliquely to the sky and rushing straight away.
There was another one after another, but the result of this other armor-piercing projectile was not very good, the kind of bad for Karvus and Kosher.
One of the bullets hit the edge of the turret's front face, which was further away from the weak point, and ricocheted again. This time, the armor-piercing projectile was shot diagonally downward into the soil, leaving a deep pit with white smoke.
It was not unacceptable that both shots missed. Karvus had already expected that it would be extremely difficult to destroy the Russian monster tank from the front. The tiny probability of hitting the top of the head was absolute luck. The backup plan that had been prepared long ago had come to the execution time.
"Start! Move, go around those two Russians! Avoid their gun line!"
Mobility is not the strong point of the King Tiger, especially for a patient with severe osteoarthritis who may lose stability and fall down after taking two steps and cannot get up. If he suddenly broke down under the muzzle of the Russian gun while running, it would be a shame to die.
But, what other way do you have if you don't do this? Hmm? That's the only way.
After a burst of black smoke, the two Tiger Kings sped up again before they could accelerate to a cross-country speed of ten kilometers per hour. Karvus, who was ready to be hit or even killed by being shot, never expected that an unexpected battlefield change would happen so abruptly in the next second.
One of the two IS6s that were originally aiming at this side suddenly shook all over and exploded. The strong explosion blew the head of the IS6 that had not yet pulled down the main gun firing lever and was reloading slowly. The person who caused this scene was Bolt's car, who chose to help Karvus and Kosher instead of fighting the enemy in front of him.
