The overwhelming barrage of rockets and heavy artillery barrages was basically like this, a scene that was a thousand times more exciting than hail.
The German troops on the position expected that the Russians on the opposite side would not give up and would definitely launch a more violent attack after regrouping. However, they did not expect that the Russians who had only mortars to cover the last wave of attacks would not be able to give up in a short time.
The second wave of attacks less than half an hour later was actually a combination of rocket launchers and heavy artillery. The gap was so fucking huge, who would have thought?
"Bombardment! Russian bombardment! Hurry and take cover!"
call out--
Boom boom boom——
Before the loud words could even be finished, the rain of crackling bullets, which was even worse than dumplings on New Year's Eve, had already rained down instantly and exploded.
Those terrified German soldiers who were about to flee did not even have the last chance to save their lives. The overwhelming and crazy artillery barrage that swept over them took away their lives in just an instant.
Be it weapons and equipment or flesh and blood.
Everything that can be destroyed on the position cannot escape, and all objects that can be thrown into the sky basically take off on the spot and shoot straight into the sky.
Malashenko was already accustomed to such scenes and was not surprised by them. However, Gornakov, who had never seen such scenes several times, had a completely different expression at this moment holding a telescope in his hand.
.
"It's unimaginable that this is the firepower of the division's artillery. A Guards Artillery Brigade can't do more than that. Those German guys are definitely doomed now. Even if they build bunkers in such an open area with no obstructions, in this kind of
It will not be of much use in the face of high-level shelling, and ordinary civil structures and shell-proof holes cannot withstand it at all."
In most cases, traditional geotechnical bunkers are the only shelter for soldiers to avoid shelling. Of course, this also means that they are effective in most cases, but there are still some exceptions, such as now.
Whether it is a 132mm Katyusha rocket or a 152mm high-explosive grenade projectile.
As long as either one of these two hits the side of the ordinary infantry's artillery-proof hole, without even a direct hit, it can instantly collapse the trembling Germans hiding in the artillery-proof hole, including the hole and the hole, and bury them alive.
.
If it is a direct hit, the end will only be more miserable. In this case, even burying a whole body alive becomes a luxury. All the bullshit anti-gun caves and the people in the caves should go to hell. The only ones left in place are
It will be a huge crater covered by floating soil. Maybe you can find a few pieces of minced meat and weapon parts mixed in the floating soil. It's that simple.
Gornakov is right. Under such a level of shelling, there is no need to consider bunkers. If you want to survive such a level of shelling, you can only pray that you have strong luck and protection in your life.
There is no other way.
Like Gornakov, he was also holding a telescope and watching the German positions bathed in artillery bombardment. Comrade Comrade Political Commissar of the 211th Infantry Division thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Comrade Division Commander, do you think this kind of shelling can eliminate the Germans' hidden firepower points that have caused us big trouble?"
Comrade Political Commissar's words suddenly popped out of his mouth as if for no reason. Gornakov was a little stunned and didn't understand why his partner asked this, but he quickly answered with a cheerful smile.
"Ha, you are right. Look at this firepower. What reason do those German cannons have to survive such destruction? Whether it is a self-propelled artillery or a towed artillery, it must be finished now. Later
After we take the position, I have to go over there and see for myself what kind of junk we had, and I hope those Germans can still have some spare parts left for me to take a look at."
Is there anything wrong with what Gornakov said?
To be precise, from a general perspective, there is certainly nothing wrong with this statement.
How capable are those German artillerymen that they can survive this level of rapid artillery fire? Are they invincible or what? What's more, they are still a group of fragile artillerymen with high attack and low defense.
Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the case, and of course the political commissar comrades also know it clearly in their hearts.
But, I don’t know why, there is always a kind of uneasiness lingering in my heart, as if... as if the German guys opposite have some trump cards in their hands, or
It seems that the true appearance of the trump card has been exposed, but I haven't guessed it correctly yet.
"I think we still have to be careful, Comrade Division Commander. It only takes one mistake to underestimate the enemy. Until we confirm with our own eyes that the enemy's hidden firepower points have been destroyed and see the evidence, any so-called "destroyed" is just our subjective opinion.
There are objective inaccuracies in speculation, and we cannot ignore and avoid this."
"All in all, we still have to prepare for the worst when attacking later and be ready to deal with various emergencies at any time, what do you think?"
What Comrade Comrade Political Commissar said sounded quite philosophical. It seemed that senior political commissar comrades would all speak in this way. Of course, Gornakov was already used to this and was not surprised. After thinking for a while, he answered quickly.
blurted out with a nod of approval.
"Well, what you said does make sense. We should be careful to prevent accidents from happening again."
"You stay here with the artillery and keep an eye on the point to keep in touch. I will go back to organize and supervise the troops to prepare for the attack. By the way, I would like to remind the generals and comrades to be careful."
"Okay, let's do it."
Malashenko had no idea what Gornakov and his political commissar partners were underestimating and discussing. At this moment, Comrade Ma had returned to his post, holding on to his command vehicle and making final preparations.
The time pointer on the watch is almost approaching the expected end time of the bombardment.
"No matter what kind of cannon those Germans have hidden, it will definitely be finished now, and it will definitely blast all the junk into the sky!"
Similar to Gornakov's situation, Iushkin, who was holding his gunner's sight and watching the Western scene, was also very optimistic, but in contrast, Malashenko, who was sitting next to him as the commander, seemed careless.
"How can you confirm that it must be the artillery of the Germans? What if I say that it is not artillery, but an armored force and a heavy armored force? Do you still think that artillery preparation alone can handle everything?"
"...."
Malashenko's sudden words reminded Iushkin of the previous battle in which the division's artillery covered the Kraut Tiger King.
In that battle, even though the artillery firepower was almost as powerful as the scene in front of me, it still failed to kill all the Kraut Tigers, not even half of them.
Unless those thick-skinned Fascist armored monsters are directly hit by artillery shells or rockets, even if they are near misses, they will not cause any substantial damage if they explode within a few meters next to the vehicle. Survive the artillery fire.
The tenacious resistance put up by the tiger kings who came down is a good illustration of the situation. Now that Iushkin thinks about this scene, he still feels fresh in his memory.
