Whether in his subjective consciousness or in reality, Vatu Kyon felt that the German field artillery units were not worth mentioning at all.
The parameters and indicators of those tattered divisional 150mm heavy howitzers are simply unsightly. To use a popular saying in the Red Army field artillery unit, "Our enemies are still using outdated artillery that was standard 20 years ago."
The range of the impressive divisional 150mm heavy howitzer was completely suppressed by the 122 and 152 guns of the Red Army field artillery unit. As the mainstay of long-range artillery firepower, the 150mm divisional heavy howitzer was so unusable, not to mention the other German artillery below.
Those German-made 105mm howitzers were almost ignored by the Red Army field artillery units.
As long as the Red Army's offensive artillery fires, there is basically no possibility for the German artillery to reverse the situation.
Even if one dared to fight back at the Red Army artillery positions if they were brave enough and happened to be within range, the retaliatory destructive shelling would quickly hit the Germans' foreheads, leaving no time for them to move their positions.
As time went by, the German artillerymen, who knew they were inferior in all aspects, simply became a doormat who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Few people dared to fight back in the face of the Soviet army's powerful artillery preparations before a large-scale attack. It was not until the Soviet offensive force entered its own firing range and happened to block the Soviet field artillery group outside the range that the German artillery units
He dared to show off his skills, but neither the momentum nor the scale of the artillery attack could compare with the Soviet field artillery.
In view of this, Vatutin always thought that those Germans could not make any good cannons at all. They were just some capitalist scraps and iron that were used in the frontline troops. Even the cannons were full of the blood and sweat of exploiting capitalists and squeezing poor workers.
smell.
But when Vatutin saw this behemoth that looked like a prehistoric beast in front of him, all his previous perceptions were completely overturned in an instant.
"Oh my God, what kind of terrifying monster did these Germans create? This is just a cannon? Isn't this a warship brought to land?"
The voluptuous and graceful figure of Miss Dora is indeed enough to attract the attention of men. Any passionate old man who has nothing to do with sissy will fall under this beauty's pomegranate skirt, raise his neck and look straight up.
Vatutin is no exception.
"It is indeed unbelievable, Comrade Vatutin, but this is indeed a cannon."
Malashenko's performance at the moment was already much better than that of Vatutin, who was in a state of shock. Malashenko, who was mentally prepared because he was a time traveler, saw the second Miss Dora for the second time.
The strong shock and surprise of the first meeting is no longer there.
"We captured the German heavy artillery group that specializes in operating this super cannon. The German artillerymen confessed that this is a super-heavy railway gun system called Gustav with a caliber up to 800 mm. It is placed in front of us.
This giant cannon is Unit 2, and its name is Dora, which is the name of the wife of Krupp Jr., the boss of the German Krupp Arms Company that cast the cannon."
"The Germans originally planned to use this super cannon to conquer the French Maginot Line, but we all know what happened later. No one could capture Paris before the French surrendered, even the one who was good at blitz warfare.
And the famous Guderian couldn't do it either." I love e-books
"Gustav's No. 1 and No. 2 machines have lost their intended role. However, the Germans transferred No. 1 machine to attack the Sevastopol Fortress last year, causing damage to the local defenders.
The main culprit of the unprecedented damage is this thing, it just has a different name."
Malashenko moved the brim of his hat to shake off the snow on it, and briefly introduced the super weapon in front of Vatutin. Malashenko continued to speak.
"As much as I hate to admit it, Comrade Commander, this is indeed the case."
"What is before us is the most powerful artillery system that has ever been built by mankind. Judging from the current level of military weapons, this is the most powerful one without a doubt. Those German guys used their top technology and
The crystallization of industry condensed into such a terrifying war beast."
Vatugin, who was extremely shocked by the scene in front of him, was thinking about all possible countermeasures in his mind.
The big guy standing quietly in front of him was definitely not a simple thing. Vatutin could understand why those Germans called this thing a super weapon and sent two thousand people around it to serve it extremely thoughtfully.
The power of the 203mm heavy howitzer equipped by the Red Army is already quite extraordinary. When a shot is dropped, even if it is near-missed, it will knock the German garbage tank to the ground. It will be even worse if the target is an unprotected human being.
Not a single intact body could be found within a radius of a hundred meters. No matter how strong the defensive positions and fortifications were, they would be reduced to ashes by this brutal firepower.
But if this already extremely terrifying caliber is enlarged by nearly four times? What will be the result?
Vatutin knows that as the caliber of artillery increases, its power is not as simple as 111, but it continues to increase geometrically in a multiplicative manner. Especially after it exceeds one hundred millimeters, every time the artillery caliber is doubled, it can
If the power is multiplied several times, Vatutin cannot imagine how powerful the 800 mm caliber monster in front of him will be.
"We must find a way to transport this thing down the front line quickly, at all costs and methods! The Germans will definitely go crazy if they know that their treasure has been seized! If it weren't for the weather, there would have been countless German planes by now.
If they attack us, even if they blow up this thing, they won't want to leave it to us."
The value of tactical weapons and strategic weapons cannot be measured on the same level. In the middle of World War II before the advent of nuclear weapons, Miss Dora was obviously the standard strategic weapon of the current era.
Vatutin, who had already made a decision in his heart, turned to Malashenko, but his serious words were not what Malashenko expected.
"I will dispatch a special processing unit to take over this place as soon as possible. Malashenko, it is a huge credit for you to capture this German super cannon. I will personally draft a telegram to report this to Moscow. I will tell you just now
All the details that were told to me were listed clearly."
"Take your troops and prepare immediately. There is a new combat mission assigned to you! This super cannon must be processed and transported back to the rear as soon as possible. If it continues to be placed on the front line, it will be like a piece of rancid meat.
The Germans from all directions were attracted, and each wave was definitely getting crazier than the last!
