It was also because the Japanese army's direct anti-tank firepower was too weak, almost equivalent to better than nothing.
The design positioning does have the combat function of close-range direct shooting, but because the German troops are everywhere, the threat of various anti-armor firepower is too great, and the TOS-1A, which is forced to fight in the mid-range range of the battlefield, is now finally
Now you have the conditions to experience a real tank addiction before going into battle.
The Japanese army was puzzled. The question of what TOS-1A was was finally solved. Amidst the roaring and shaking explosions, they personally experienced the destructive power of this terrifying behemoth.
When a 310mm super-heavy rocket landed, it directly exploded into a large area. The flying remains of Japanese soldiers carried a large amount of soil and shot up into the sky. The worst among them was undoubtedly the group of Japanese soldiers who were launching a counterattack against the Red Army.
He knew that he was no match for the Red Army when he raised his gun and fired at him. The "accurate shooting" he was so proud of was nothing compared to the Red Army's rain of bullets.
This large group of people alternately covered the oncoming Japanese troops from the communication trenches and trenches, which was quite clever.
Trying to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, use ready-made traffic trenches and trenches to directly shorten the attack distance, skip the gunfire stage and go directly to face-to-face hand-to-hand combat.
In an attempt to offset the Red Army's powerful firepower advantage, they used the so-called "courage of the Imperial Warriors" to defeat the Red Army in a blood-spattered sword-blade battle and eliminate the infantry threat.
I can only say that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.
As soon as this large group of Japanese infantrymen, scurrying around like trench rats, approached with their heads lowered in traffic ditches and trenches, huge Andlyusa rockets with a diameter of up to 310 mm were aimed at their heads and fell straight down.
The Japanese army, which can be considered proficient in infantry tactics and relied on this ability to make a living, almost always did it impeccably, at least there were no obvious fatal mistakes.
"Ha-ha-I said those Japanese devils are completely finished now! For sure!"
The reason is very simple. The bombing only kills people. No matter how heavy the casualties are, the position is still in hand. As long as the position is still in hand, there is still a chance and there is still time to fight. It is not lost until all the troops are exhausted.
This carefully planned second position will fall apart. What kind of echelon layout, machine gun blockade, and grenade squad will be wiped out. In half an hour, this position will be completely owned by the Russians. How can we not let Fan Fan's mind be slightly normal?
The Japanese commander was horrified.
As soon as the 310mm rocket barrage here was completed, the infantry of the leader's army rushed forward with their long guns and short cannons in their hands and immediately followed up and rushed forward.
There was no chance to send troops to support and stabilize the defense. The time from being bombed to losing the block position was only five minutes.
In addition, the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle, which came with its companions and had a lot of ammunition left, was at full firepower.
How could the Japs, who had just been swept away by TOS-1A's devastating bombing, withstand such a torment?
You can arrange your troops as you like and use whatever infantry tactics you want. It's up to you to choose and use them.
The destructive power of this volcanic eruption was so huge that the infantry soldiers could feel their whole body spinning and the earth shaking. Even if they were out of killing range, they still had ready-made bunkers around them that had captured the Japanese positions to provide cover and avoidance.
You can still intuitively feel that this power is enough to completely destroy anything it comes into contact with.
When the entire infantry movement area is a bombing zone, it is completely contained, and there are no strong enough anti-gun bunkers to rely on.
The Japanese army was completely stunned by the "land bomber" TOS-1A that suddenly entered the battlefield. They were frightened by the extremely terrifying follow-up attack speed of the leader's attack force, even more than the destruction caused by the TOS-1A.
The fear of bombing.
This is indeed not a "war crime" committed by the Japanese army.
But there is still no way to escape the final outcome of being blown to pieces, crushed into ashes and sent to heaven.
Although there was not much ammunition left and needed to be replenished, the remaining ammunition, which was about to bottom out, was still enough to hold on for a while and the heavy tanks followed closely.
"yes!"
Comrade platoon leader who personally led the attack loudly gave the order, and the result was exactly as expected.
At the level of 310 mm, traditional geotechnical bunkers are completely useless in the face of its destructive power.
Driving the TOS-1A directly to the front of the formation for close-range direct-aiming shooting support was something that almost all the infantry soldiers of the leading army present had never experienced.
Repeat 4 rounds, take 20 minutes, and give it half an hour as a grace period.
Boom boom boom—boom boom—
What's the meaning?
This means that the Russians only need to repeat the operation just now, for five minutes.
Mainly with machine guns that still have a lot of ammunition left, supplemented by main guns that fire a shot from time to time to increase their presence and prove that they still have ammunition to fire.
"Sukka! This is not an artillery attack! It's clearly a land bomber!"
Unexpectedly, the TOS-1A 310mm heavy-duty rockets fired half a box, and half a battalion of 16 vehicles fired collectively. It was really not something that the Japanese could withstand or neutralize with just a few tricks of infantry tactics.
The TOS-1A bombing, which came and went quickly, was certainly extremely powerful, but the entire bombing lasted only about ten seconds and ended in less than twenty seconds.
Boo hoo hoo hoo——
But as soon as the bombing was completed, the Russians' infantry and large and small tanks rushed forward and quickly wiped out the remaining enemies without even leaving a chance for reinforcements to stabilize the position. This is what really frightened a group of Japanese commanders.
To the most terrifying place of aphasia.
Even the semi-buried anti-gun holes reinforced by wooden structures can't stop it. It's just nonsense to expect that trenches dug into the ground can block 310mm rockets.
From movement formation to unit distance, from alternating cover to shifting positions.
Stepping on the Japanese minced meat that was still smoking under their feet, they strode forward and quickly captured the TOS-1A concentrated fire bombing area just now. The attacking troops seized the fighter planes and continued to push forward.
"Stop talking nonsense! Check the weapon and change the magazine! The TOS-1A will bombard you for a while. Follow me immediately after the bombing! Get ready to fight!"
All infantry tactics will be turned into battlefield performance art, which will serve no purpose other than showing off poor skills and making people laugh.
So even though these Japanese soldiers were bombed into a trance, they tried their best to avoid the bombardment, lying down, lowering their bodies, minimizing the area to be bombarded, and doing everything they could.
In the end, the Red Army didn't even come face to face with it, but was blown up by 310mm heavy rockets that swept across the sky.
The few remaining soldiers were wiped out as quickly as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. More than 300 soldiers had just rushed forward in an orderly manner. They were moving forward within a position of considerable width and sufficient depth, trying to fight the Red Army with bayonets.
The devil.
The Russians mounted bayonets with firepower that was stronger than that of a field heavy artillery group. They used land equipment to produce a power almost on the same scale as aviation bombing, and ruthlessly threw the most complete destruction on their own heads.
The cruel battlefield did not even leave the Japanese army time to think. The destruction of the Red Army's iron fist came faster than the brain circuits of these devil leaders.
That extremely terrifying roar sounded again only half a minute after the leader's attacking troops captured another position.
Looking at the scene in front of me, it was exactly the same as the first land bombing.
Feeling despair in his heart, the Japanese Lieutenant General division commander couldn't bear to look directly at him. He stood in front of the observation post without turning around or showing anything strange to his subordinates. He faced directly in the direction of the battlefield and closed his eyes.
