Chapter 1546： Su- 152 and Yakov

Yes, this kind of self-propelled artillery that suddenly encountered is the latest Soviet weapon specially used to strike Tiger tanks, SU-152.

For the Soviets, in fact they also value artillery and tanks. After the Germans showed up tanks that they could not deal with, the Soviet Union naturally had to find a way.

Since the existing firepower can't penetrate, then continue to brush the caliber.

In this case, the Soviet Union has already tried, for example, the KV-2, in order to carry a 152mm cannon, turned into a toilet head.

This kind of thing can only be an emergency. It has been proved to be useless on the battlefield. The short-barreled 152mm cannon is difficult to aim and has insufficient power. The high toilet head causes a high center of gravity and is easy to roll over.

Therefore, the Soviet Union began to develop a new type of self-propelled artillery called KV-14. This self-propelled artillery was equipped with a 152 mm ML-20 artillery, and was also equipped with an omni-directional observation instrument that could carry out indirect aiming and shooting. ST-10 type long-sighted instrument, can implement direct shooting.

This is not a short-barreled howitzer, but a long-barreled 152mm cannon. This gun gives this self-propelled artillery a multi-faceted task.

It can fire reflective grenades, carry out self-propelled artillery tasks, support frontline battles at long distances, and can also fire armor-piercing projectiles. It can be used as a tank destroyer at close range. Because of its thick armor, it can also accompany infantry to charge as a weapon for demolition of walls.

It can be said to be a complete all-rounder, self-propelled artillery, tank destroyer, assault gun, everything is fine, but it also has its shortcomings.

The recoil force of the ML-20 gun is very large, so it does not use a rotating turret, instead a fixed battle room with guns.

In this way, aiming is a considerable problem. In the past, a 360-degree range of fire could be obtained by rotating the turret, but now, the driver and the gunner must cooperate closely.

Even worse, similar German self-propelled artillery without a turret has an advanced hydraulic steering system that can be fine-tuned, but this self-propelled artillery directly uses the original KV chassis. If you want to fine-tune the direction, it is absolutely not easy.

At the same time, the 152mm shell cannot be a fully loaded, split-loaded ammunition, making it extremely cumbersome to load. The ML-20 cannon has a rate of fire of only 2 rounds per minute.

In any case, in history, when the su-152 self-propelled artillery was on the battlefield in the Battle of Kursk, it established a miraculous skill, known as an animal killer, and even the tiger tank could not stop its fierce attack.

And now, when the animal killer is on the battlefield for the first time, he meets the toughest animal.

The mouse is a little guy in the animal kingdom. The Germans named this huge tank the mouse type, which is simply ironic.

Yakov's eyes were still firm, and he fought bravely for the Soviets until the last moment!

Yes, he is Stalin’s son, Yakov. He was captured in Iran, but he did not do anything to humiliate himself. Although he was a prisoner, he was still a glorious Soviet. He was a Soviet. And proud.

After returning to the Soviet Union, he continued to serve in the army, first to Smolensk, and when the Smolensk battle was fierce, he was transferred back from the front and received new equipment.

He was originally an artillery. In the past, he operated a towed artillery, but this time, he replaced it with a self-propelled artillery. They are familiar with this artillery. It is the same model as the previous towed artillery, but the tank is different. For artillery who have never operated tracked vehicles before, it is difficult.

Therefore, during this period of time, they have been training in the rear. Due to lack of fuel, most of the time they stopped training in place. Recently, the situation in Moscow has become more and more severe. They finally went on the battlefield and came to the map of southern Moscow. La state.

As soon as they arrived in Tula, they received a request for reinforcements from the front line before they were refurbished. So Yakov rushed to the front line with his troops. In Cherny, they also went the wrong way. The troops who went the wrong way have met in a narrow way.

On the whole, Su-152 is not a special tank after all, so it is not suitable for direct bombing, but there are so many of them. A dozen SU-152 can definitely go behind the opponent, so that they can still defeat the opponent. Sure of it.

At the same time, this light rain also gave them benefits. The Germans are good at aiming and shooting at long distances, but now they can’t see far, and the advantages of long-range shooting can’t be brought into play. When the distance is close, tens of meters like now, that is to close your eyes. Can hit. The opponent's tank is so tall, it is simply a living target.

The biggest problem is the rate of fire.

When faced with a dozen enemy tanks suddenly, Hans didn't feel nervous at all, he was only excited.

For the tank soldier, he is commended when he destroys an enemy tank in battle. And when he destroys five tanks , he will be called the Ace Tanker, and his name will be widely promoted as a hero.

As for the 502 Heavy Armored Battalion, their number of destruction is calculated at every turn. For example, the number one Lieutenant Karius destroyed 150 enemy tanks. This can still be confirmed. There are still a bunch of others that have not been confirmed. .

This kind of fantastical destruction figure is simply a mythological record. Now, the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion of the German Third Reich Army, although it is very different from the history, most of the tankers are not there, but, They will still shape their glory.

Now, it belongs to Hans' glory.

According to the customary rules of the German armored soldiers, the results of the destruction are counted on the head of the captain, so although Hans had already killed a lot in Odessa before, he still had no record.

Now, as the captain, Hans finally started to brush his record. Hans' first record was to kill more than ten tanks in one battle and directly promoted to the double ace.

"At eleven o'clock, fire." Hans shouted.

Following his order, Sergeant Karpanet stepped on the button and the huge turret began to turn. Then, there was a loud bang, and there was a burst of gunpowder inside the turret. Amid the hum of the smoke extractor's full-speed work, Karpane The special sergeant shouted excitedly: "Hit!"

The 75mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile directly hit the Su-152's front armor tens of meters away. Although its gun shield is 75mm thick, it cannot stop the attack of this terrible armor-piercing projectile. Hit, almost no doubt will detonate the internal ammunition, the detonation of the 152mm ammunition, the scene is quite spectacular.

"At ten o'clock, fire." Hans continued to shout.

"Boom!" This time, the 128mm tank gun fired.
