Chapter 461: Artillery battle

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

In the early days of April, the weather in Poland was still very cool, but most of the German artillery positions were on the upper body. It seemed that the whole scene was so hot.

A big man with chest hair pushed the cannon with the shells, and the soldiers in the back pushed the stacked charges into it, and then the soldiers helped to close the breech, and the whole action was done in one go. Then after a short period of sighting and adjustment, as the flag spokesman not far away waved the red flag in his hand, five 150 mm caliber cannons on this position simultaneously roared.

The German artillery is slightly stronger than the Japanese artillery, but it is still basically at a level. The conventional artillery of the Germans had an advantage in the number of artillery pieces of 105 and 150 mm caliber, but it was not as good as the Japanese army in the number of artillery pieces of 75 mm caliber and even 37 mm caliber. This result is also directly related to the establishment of the German army and weaponry.

In terms of equipment, the Germans have a large number of anti-tank guns with a caliber of 75 mm, but although these guns are huge, they cannot be compared with the Japanese 75 mm mountain guns as the main caliber of field artillery. At the same time, the German 40mm caliber antiaircraft guns are pure anti-aircraft weapons, so they are not as good as the Japanese 37mm caliber artillery, because the Japanese 37mm caliber has anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns.

On the other hand, the German infantry support weapons are mainly 60-mm caliber mortars and 80-mm mortars. The short-range direct support weapon is a bazooka, while the Japanese army uses a toss-barrel as the primary support weapon. Artillery force-the specific artillery support firepower is better, it is really impossible to judge.

Of course, if you count the No. 3 assault gun used to support infantry and the Friedrich rocket of the Rocket Artillery Force, the German artillery alone is enough to overwhelm the Japanese army in terms of artillery. Of course, this is not something to be proud of, because the Japanese Army The strength of the artillery is only a little stronger than that of their tank troops.

On the whole, during the French campaign, the overall strength of the German artillery was only better than that of Japan, but now the German artillery has been "not as good as today", they have seized thousands of French cannons in France, and there are still enough There are millions of stocked shells. These arms naturally became the weapons of the Germans, and they continued to use their waste heat in places where they were needed.

If you add the artillery of Belgium and the artillery produced by the French occupation area as war compensation, then this number is very impressive. Although this seizure of weapons caused some collapse of the German logistics forces, the already messy logistics classification was more than doubled. But the benefits are obvious, that is, in just 2 months, the German artillery is one third more than the original.

Sometimes the accumulation of quantity will eventually lead to a qualitative leap. This is a well-known reason that everyone now knows. Now the German artillery unit has relied on the accumulation of quantity, and there has been a change in quality. The troops made a four or six account, and the scene was not inferior.

"Boom!" Once again, the shells flew into the distance at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. These long-range artillery units could not see their results. They could only repeat their actions mechanically, turning one after another. The shells hit the front line near the coordinate parameters provided to them.

"Coordinates, 75, 44! Adjust the parameters!" A second lieutenant standing next to the radio held the earphones in his ears with one hand while recording the position of the enemy positions provided by the frontline observation post with a pencil.

"Artillery parameter adjustment! Coordinates: 75, 44! Cannonball loading!" A captain officer next to him commanded loudly.

With the officer's password, a group of German soldiers with their upper body busy again, and in a continuous password, the shells and charges in the hands were loaded into their cannons.

Then the flag flew, another round of shells was shot out, over fields and farmhouses, over woods and streams, over barracks and tanks parked by the road, over the front line of the soldiers in the trenches, over the trenches The dense craters and corpses in front of it then landed precisely on a land packed with Soviet attacking soldiers.

In an artillery observation post with a wooden roof and elaborate camouflage on the front, a soldier was using a scissor periscope to observe the Soviet position on the opposite side, and then he excitedly stated the result of the bombardment: "hit the target! It ’s true! The shot was extended by about 15 meters with the same direction. "

"04, 04! I am 01, I am 01, the direction is unchanged, the distance is corrected by 76! Repeat: the direction is unchanged, the distance is corrected by 76!" Another soldier picked up the radio and reported loudly.

On the radio, the second lieutenant shouted the calculated coordinates again: "Coordinates, 76, 44! Adjust the parameters! Shoot now!"

"Shoot immediately! Coordinates 76, 44!" The officer standing beside commanded again.

The semaphore continued to wave. This time the cannon did not wait for the salvo, but it roared slightly before and after. The deafening timbre also turned into a series of bangs.

On the front line, a German veteran squatted in a trench dug by hand, and beside him, several young soldiers were terrified holding their rifles, and they still prayed for God's blessing. Kind of nonsense.

The veteran was holding a cigarette, holding his own assault rifle, and gently wiped the two battlefield medals hanging on his chest. One was from Poland and was a commemorative medal of the Battle of Poland. Everyone who participated in the Battle of Poland had one This is actually a very commemorative medal for doing this work; the other is a commemorative medal for the Battle of France. The workmanship does not look very good, but it is still wiped clean by the veterans.

The sound of a cannonball falling with different sounds suddenly appeared, and the veteran who had been indifferent suddenly frowned, he shouted: "Quiet down and hide!" Just as the voice spread out, he was all Fell to the anti-explosive trench on the other side.

Although the Germans were not prepared for permanent fortifications, their positions were still carefully constructed. Compared with 20 years ago, their technology for digging trenches and trenching has not declined in the slightest. There are countless retired old men in the National Defense Forces who are best at digging pits. They learn and use or even watch the trenches for a lifetime. Look down on the blitz of the National Defense Forces now.

Nearly every meeting of these people will attack the blitz tactics of the head of state. It is assumed that countless times if they set their defense time, how they will be arranged, enough to make the blitz battle defeated. After the head of state threw the theory of defense in depth on the Eastern Front, these people stood firmly next to the head of the Akado, and they stiffly took the head of the tactical master to the altar.

Therefore, the position of the German hiding place can be said to be "the strongest defense system in non-permanent fortifications". This sentence is the original words of an infantry general in his report. Since it can be praised by the most authoritative antiques in the trenches, these defenses are not as simple as some shallow pits anyway.

All defensive positions are required to be constructed in the shape of m, rather than a simple straight line. These m-shaped trenches have shallow pit traffic trenches on both sides for transferring troops, and behind these trenches, they are constructed in a T-shape. Anti-explosion pit body. As long as the shells do not hit the multi-point junctions of these tunnels, a slight deviation will reduce the power of these shells by more than 70%. If they are a few meters off, then even large-caliber heavy shells will not treat these simple ones. Trenches constitute fatal destruction.

After the key parts have been reinforced with wood and cement, several defense points of this defense line have the ability to resist artillery fire coverage. If the large-depth defense theory is included in the preset 20 km elastic defense area at the front of the entire main defense line, This line of defense is sufficient to deal with any attack by the Soviet Union.

Akado is certainly not a god, but he at least stood on the shoulders of giants. The military pits laid by the Soviet military experts in Kursk for the German armored forces were blown by the victors for half a century. Now he takes it and uses it on the Soviet Red Army. It seems that he suddenly realized that there was another way Shi Bi's pleasure.

The German veteran fell into a fork in a T-shaped anti-explosive tunnel. At about the same time, a shell also landed in another corner of the tunnel. The explosion suddenly raised countless dirt and hid from other places. The soldiers in the corner were buried. After a long while, the aftermath of the explosion finally passed, and the German veteran drilled out of the soft soil, shaking off the gravel and black mud hanging from the helmet.

His ears were still buzzing with a loud noise. Although he covered his ears in time, it took at least a few minutes to recover. This is the experience he had obtained after being bombarded by the French. He shook his head, then picked up his gun from the floating soil, and then turned back to his trench, and saw several comrades who had just returned.

These soldiers have long been told to follow the advice of the veterans as much as possible. Although they are afraid, they have been training on the east line with the trenches they dug for 3 months. Following the veterans ’advice to avoid the shells that may hit them, they have penetrated the bone marrow. Instinct, so they just fell to the ground without hesitation, avoiding the huge shock wave and countless shrapnel of Soviet artillery shells.

If the Soviet artillery sees this result, it may be mad, because a German artillery shell hits the attacking Soviet army position, basically can take a dozen or even dozens of lives, but the shells they fired despite the power Larger, but can only occasionally add a few wounded soldiers to the German army.
