Chapter 621 621 debut
As Otto retracted into the turret, his car was hit by several shells in quick succession.
"Whoa, oh, oh!" The cook shouted, "We've been hit!" β
"Calm down, we're not dead yet!" Kosher shouted, pressing the button at the same time, and the recoil of the shelling made the sixty-ton behemoth jolt, "Hit one!" Oh that's so cool, the enemy is like a papier-mΓ’chΓ©! β
"Turret turn right thirty degrees!" Otto continued to give instructions.
"Understood!"
As the motor rotated the turret, another muffled sound entered the fighting compartment.
"We seem to have been shot again." The cook said as he filled the chamber of the 90 guns.
"Get you on your way!" Kosher pressed the button.
The vibration of the vehicle made Otto's head snort on the periscope, and he ignored the pain, and continued to rotate the periscope to observe the battlefield.
"Stop!" He suddenly shouted.
The chariot came to a sharp stop, sending everyone's bodies rushing forward.
"Otto! Stop, we're on target! Link's voice came from the inside, "Oh goodness, this firepower." β
"They can't penetrate our frontal armor." Otto's voice was calm, "Turn left from the turret, and I see a Russian car trying to outflank us. β
"Turn left, okay I see it." Kosher had both eyes on the Tiger's binocular sight, as if he was going to shove the sight's eyepiece into his eye socket, "Don't think I'm going to miss you when you're moving...... Come on! β
As the body shook, Otto saw flames in the engine of the enemy vehicle from the periscope, and it quickly stopped, but the next moment it erupted flames from the muzzle of the gun aimed at Otto's side.
The trajectory of the armor-piercing bullet was clearly visible, and it flew straight towards Otto, causing him to subconsciously dodge backwards. However, the shell did not even touch the edge of the tiger.
"It's still moving, give it another shot!"
Kosher immediately did so, this time the American-made tank's turret roof spewed a pillar of fire.
"Why do Yankee chariots always spew columns of fire from the turret hatches?" Kosher's voice drilled into Otto's ears.
Otto didn't answer, but nervously continued to search for the next target.
At this time, a machine-gun bullet hit the protective glass of his periscope, leaving a terrible crack. Otto was startled, but immediately calmed down and continued to turn the periscope.
At this time he saw a flash of light in the direction of the farm, and the next moment his car was shot.
"Battle defense artillery! Turn the turret right, in the bushes next to the farmstead, grenade loading! β
The cook immediately unlatched the cannon, withdrew the armor-piercing projectile and inserted it into the ammunition rack, drew a grenade, opened the safety and stuffed it into the chamber.
"That's it!"
"Fire!" Otto shouted.
The shaking of the chariot and the explosion of a cloud of dust in the bushes occurred almost simultaneously.
Then the woods flashed again, but this time the Russian gunners didn't know if they were nervous or knew that the armor-piercing shells could not penetrate, so they took the initiative to change the type of ammunition, anyway, they fired a grenade.
The shock was so strong that Otto fainted instantly.
However, the fainting time was not long, and after more than ten seconds, he opened his eyes, rubbed his painful head with his hand, and asked, "Are the brothers all right?" β
"Alive, damn it...... How's you, cook? Wake up, don't play dead. β
"Oh," came the cook's voice, "damn it, I think I've been hit in the foot by a cannonball, and my foot hurts terribly." β
"Can you still reload?" Otto asked worriedly.
"Yes, no problem."
At this time, they were hit by another cannonball, and the sound of metal grinding gave Otto goosebumps on the back of his head.
A wingman's call came from the headset: "Are you alright?" I saw a big explosion. β
"It's okay, I'm stunned, do you see the exact location of the enemy's gun emplacement?" Otto shouted into the radiophone.
"No, the enemy is hiding too well, but you probably know where, let's bombard it with a grenade."
"I'm going to poke my head out and take a look." With that, Otto pulled the handle and opened the hatch. When the hatch opened, a gust of wind poured into the interior of the chariot, blowing away the smell of gunpowder and engine oil that permeated it.
Otto poked his head out and held up his binoculars to look at the woods.
At this time, Kosher said: "I saw where they were, and there was a camouflage net under a beech tree, and it was no wonder that grandma's was so difficult to spot." β
At this time, Otto also found the target, and the cannon fired at Otto's car again, this time with an armor-piercing shell, and the shell flew very close to Otto, leaving a scream of "Phew".
Kosher then fired, and the grenade landed next to the camouflage net, and the shock wave lifted the net in one piece, revealing the gun emplacements made of logs inside.
"I see them." The wingman also reported, "Shooting." β
"There are other cannons around there, keep firing!"
With Otto's order, the two tigers kept firing, and the grenades fell into the woods one after another, setting off one fireball after another.
Suddenly, Otto's car was attacked from the other direction, but apparently the shooter did not know the distance, and the shell flew over the head of Otto's car, fell to the other side, and smashed a "triple jump" on the ground.
Otto turned his head to look for a new attacker, and at this time, the voice of Herman, the commander of the third car, came from the headset: "There is an enemy artillery crew in the barn, we blew up the stable where the artillery crew is hidden, and we are now tending to the barn." β
Otto immediately found the barn mentioned by car No. 3, which is a common "silo" in Poland, and as the name suggests, a building that resembles a cylinder. The entrance of the silo is generally opened at a high place, and when storing grain, the grain is often poured into the inside of the cylinder from the entrance at the high place, and then people go down to the bottom to step on the grain little by little. This process is repeated until the grain is loaded close to two-thirds of the silo.
Otto saw that the Russians had made a hole in the wall of the silo, and the anti-aircraft guns were placed inside, and it appeared that the artillery had been erected directly on top of the solid grain.
"That silo is still so full." Otto muttered subconsciously.
"The Russian army probably doesn't have time to loot this grain, after all, it's still quite troublesome to take out the grain in the silo."
At this time, the grenades of cars No. 3 and No. 4 hit the Russians' gun positions directly, and the explosion blew off the silos, and the collapsed roof buried the Russians directly.
Otto stuck his head out a little more and looked around the battlefield.
"For the time being, there is no threatening target, and the cars start to move forward, and you follow me, No. 2, and cover me fifty meters behind me. I'm going to see what's going on in the woods. After putting down the microphone, Otto ordered, "Link, go forward, drive towards the woods, and stop fifty meters from the woods." β
"Understood."
As the Tiger began to move forward, Otto glanced at the number three and four to confirm that they were also pushing forward in a standard two-car formation.
As he passed by the burning American-made tank, Otto glanced at the Russian armorers poking out of the turret, and his stomach churned.
The woods were getting closer, and Otto was careful to watch for signs of human activity.
Suddenly, a rifle bullet hit his conning tower. He immediately slid into the turret and closed the hatch with him.
"The enemy infantry is in the woods! Stop right here! β
After the bumps of the chariot had passed, Otto radioed to the other vehicles: "There is enemy infantry in the woods, and we will defend on the spot and wait for the infantry units to come up and clear the woods." β
"Then let's go to the farmhouse," was the voice of the captain of car three, "and we'll stay away from the woods." β
"Keep it in the open and be careful not to have Molotov cocktails thrown at the heat dissipation lid by the infantry." Otto admonished.
At this time, the Russian army rushed out of the woods with a shout, some with explosive bags in their hands, and others holding Molotov cocktails alof.
"Reverse!" Otto decisively ordered, "Machine gun fire is on full force!" β
The sound of firing from the hull machine guns and the shooting of the parallel machine guns sounded at the same time, and the machine gun bullet casings constantly slid out of the shell throwing mouth and landed on the steel plate at the bottom of the fighting compartment, making a crisp metal collision sound.
Otto himself used the GuΓ² linkage device to manipulate the machine gun on the roof of the car to shoot at the enemy, and he was a loader by training, so he was very good at this kind of linkage.
However, because the Tiger is a weapon dedicated to anti-tank combat, the linkage machine gun tower is not equipped with a 20 mm cannon, only 13 mm MG, so the shooting feel is not the same as the cannon that Otto is used to, which makes Otto's shooting accuracy drop a lot.
"Molotov cocktails!" Kosher shouted.
Immediately after that, Julian, who was in charge of the machine gun in the front seat, exclaimed: "Damn, alcohol is flowing in through the observation port!" β
Otto looked down and saw Julian desperately slapping the alcohol that had fallen on him.
The only cook who had nothing to do immediately grabbed a small fire extinguisher and sprayed it at Julian.
The fighting room was immediately filled with the smell of dry powder fire extinguishing agent.
Julian also turned into a white "flour man".
"Damn the Russians! It was possible to throw Molotov cocktails so far! Julian cursed, picking up his machine gun once more and venting his anger at the Russians.
As soon as Otto turned his attention back to the periscope, a wingman's inquiry came from the headset: "I see flames on your front armor, are you okay?" β
"No problem." Otto replied, and at this time he saw through the periscope that the Russian soldiers who had rushed out of the woods began to retreat towards the woods.
At the same time, there was an explosion in the direction of the farmhouse, and the two-story farmhouse with an attic collapsed in half.
"What's going on, Three."
"Someone machine-gun fired at us, and we fired a couple of grenades. The quality of buildings in Poland is really not very good. β
As soon as Otto wanted to reply, a call came from the headset: "Sonorous rose, sonorous rose, report the situation." β
"We have annihilated the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery and armor, wiped out hundreds of infantry, and now there are still some remnants entrenched in the woodland next to the farmhouse, and we ask for infantry to be sent to clear it, and it's over."
"Roger, your unit assists the infantry in clearing the remnants, and then pursues the brigade, over."
"Roger."
Otto put down the microphone, and this time and space tiger-like debut came to an end.
