The German artillery bombardment was still falling, and loud explosions soaring into the sky were heard one after another all around. Kulbalov, who was commanding the tank and carrying the infantry to rush out desperately, was thinking about something while his nerves were tense at this moment.
matter.
The Germans have been surrounded for some time. Various heavy equipment and vehicles abandoned along the way are everywhere, and towed artillery can be seen everywhere on the roadside. There are anti-tank guns and large-caliber howitzers, and sometimes they are even responsible for towing
These artillery trucks were all abandoned on the side of the road, apparently due to mechanical failure or the fuel tanks running out of fuel.
Since the Germans have abandoned so much heavy equipment, where did these German artillery come from?
Kulbalov is not a professional artilleryman, but he can still judge some basic things through the sound of gunfire and explosions. For example, the caliber of these German artillery shells falling one after another at this moment will never be lower than 122
Millimeters, because judging from the movement alone, it is far superior to the Red Army's 122 artillery, and it is even close to catching up with the 152 Divine Cult.
"How did these Germans escape with these heavy artillery? Could it be that the Germans from outside came in to join them?"
Thinking of this, Kulbalov suddenly became suspicious and worried about the worst-case scenario. A similar situation also occurred when he was also commanding his own car and was slightly behind Kulbalov's vanguard during the charge.
Some of Malashenko's body.
"Where did these German guys get such a big cannon? Shouldn't they have thrown it away a long time ago?!"
Malashenko, who was also deeply puzzled, also noticed another detail: although the German shelling was fierce and falling continuously, it seemed a bit sparse, and the density of shelling was not high.
It seems that it may only have the strength of an artillery company at most, which means that the Germans do not have many large-caliber heavy artillery.
"Damn it! Now that the battle has reached this point, you can't fucking care about it anymore. A few broken cannons are just like that and can't create much waves. Let's rush in and kill these scum first!"
Malashenko, who had already been forced into his position, did not intend to let it go. A few small German cannons were not enough to stop the offensive that he had been preparing for a long time. He rushed forward to kill the German sticks in front of him.
What Rashenko wants to do most now.
"Kurbalov, keep charging forward! The Germans don't have many cannons, and they are not strong enough to stop you! I will be there soon with a large force, hold on!"
The artillery response speed of this year is far less than that of later generations in the 21st century. It takes a long time to calibrate one bombardment coordinate and then move to the next bombardment coordinate. The artillery observers on the front line have to work for a long time to give the answer.
The new artillery attack coordinates are precise. The artillery group behind them is not responsive enough, and the rate of fire is even more worrying.
If there are enough cannons, they can make up for the shortcomings of the heavy artillery's low rate of fire.
But now the Germans are full of calculations, but only one company of artillery can withstand the sky. Malashenko, who has extremely high mobility in hand, is not afraid of intercepting this artillery barrage at all. The situation with Kulbalov just now was obviously
The Germans predicted the trajectory of the action and fired ahead of time. Now that the enemy's situation was clear, it was naturally impossible for them to continue to be bombed.
Relying on the medium-tank level mobility of the IS6 heavy tank, it can avoid the Germans' sparse follow-up correction bombardment with a little maneuvering.
As for the large force led by Malashenko, which is following closely behind, the same principle applies. Instead of walking in a straight line, outflanking them from both sides is the most appropriate choice at the moment. Malashenko, who relies on his own large number of vehicles, wants to take a look.
How fast can the reaction speed of these broken cannons of the Germans be?
What happened next was indeed as Malashenko expected. Kurbalov's troops quickly rushed out of the artillery barrage and relatively easily got rid of the subsequent shelling of the Germans who fell from the sky. And because Kurbalov's troops
Appropriate tactical maneuvers under the command of Erbalov changed the route, and the next dozens of extended anticipatory artillery fire fired by the Germans all exploded.
The large-caliber long-range howitzer does not shoot directly, but uses feedback from front-line artillery observers to set the elements and calibrate the bombardment coordinates. At a range that often starts at more than ten kilometers, there is a delay of tens of seconds from firing to the fall of the shell.
Nothing more than normal.
The unloaded projectile, which continuously attenuates its flight speed through air friction, cannot even reach one time the speed of sound at the end of the flight. It only flies in a subsonic curve. If a large number of heavy artillery were not assembled for regional coverage in a short period of time, it would not be stopped at all.
Without armored units that are known for their high-speed maneuverability, it would be difficult to even hit them.
What's more, when Malashenko bombed the German armored troops, the German tanks were motionless and in a fighting state of fire. The vanguard force led by Kulbalov now is exactly the opposite.
In a high-speed maneuvering state, if you want to hit the Germans' crappy cannons, you have to wait until next life.
This sudden wave of German shelling really caught both Malashenko and Kulbalov off guard.
But if we wait until we are temporarily out of danger, we will see that the actual casualties and losses caused by this unexpected wave of shelling are actually not large. The failure to hit a tank in the forward charging state was only due to the explosion shock wave and fragments.
The lethal AOE damage knocked down some of the infantry hanging outside the tank, killing dozens of people.
Judging from the sudden attack of large-caliber heavy artillery, such losses are small enough to make people feel lucky, but this does not mean that Comrade Ma can act like this in his heart.
The Germans who have been reduced to this stage still dare to use artillery to attack themselves and play dirty tricks. This is simply a big sword in front of Guan Gong and an ax in his own way!
Malashenko, who was filled with hatred, thought that it was necessary to retaliate against these Germans, and then he grabbed the radio transmitter at hand and pressed the button.
"Malashenko is calling, Comrade Political Commissar, can you hear me? What's the situation with the artillery? We need artillery support here, immediately!"
Malashenko did not forget that he still had two battalions of mobile artillery in his hands. The powerful combination of Katyusha and ISU-152 was enough to send these German guys into the sky one by one, letting these idiots who don’t know the heights of the sky know what
It's the heavy artillery firepower.
However, Comrade Political Commissar's immediate answer obviously made Comrade Ma a little disappointed.
"No, at least not now! The Katyusha Battalion has just loaded its ammunition and is still on the way. The ISU-152 Battalion has been left behind by you and is also on its way. You are rushing forward too fast! Our artillery
