Chapter 1400: Booming Gunfire

There were no telephone lines and the radio communication distance was not enough. The only way to contact Hill 239 was by telegraph. Therefore, even if the telegram that had been prepared was sent directly, there would be a certain time delay until the real shelling fell.

Not only Malashenko, but even the current Political Commissar Petrov himself was not sure whether the artillery position of Hill 239 could respond in time.

The enemy only had less than three kilometers left to charge, and it was a highly mechanized battle group with a very fast forward speed. With wheels and tracks, it would not take much time to travel.

If Hill 239 responded quickly enough, the shelling area with a longitudinal length of one to two kilometers and a horizontal width of two kilometers in front of the position that had been marked in advance in the No. 2 shelling plan would be the absolute death zone for the Germans!

No matter how strong and tough the German tanks were, they would have no chance of survival in front of the Red Army's field artillery cluster starting at 122 mm. The high-explosive shells with indirect trajectory that fell from the sky would directly blow open the tops of these German tanks, taking them away with one shot and spiraling up on the spot.

If the Germans were a little less lucky and were unfortunately hit by a 203mm B-4 howitzer,

then just save some trouble, and there is no need to go over to collect the bodies and save people. Both the people and the vehicles will definitely be blown into slag, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

But if the artillery position on Hill 239 reacted a little slower, and waited until the Germans had rushed to the position and then ran away, at most they would just blow up a group of German infantry hanging behind them, that's all, and don't expect any actual qualitative change effect.

Is the result good or bad?

It won't take long to wait, and the answer will be revealed soon.

Just as Malashenko watched the Germans rushing forward, about to break through the position and crush the faces of the infantry commanded by Varosha, a thunderous sound with thunderous sound effects fell from the sky, almost at the same time.

Boom boom boom --

Boom boom --

The words "earth-shaking" can not only be used to describe the scene of an earthquake, but also to describe the scene that Malashenko saw with his own eyes. In other words, it can be said that it was an artificial earthquake.

The first to fall was the 122mm full-caliber high-explosive grenade with the highest muzzle velocity and the fastest bullet speed after the air resistance friction attenuation.

These high-explosive grenades fired according to the predetermined artillery coordinates were not inaccurate. They fell directly in the center of the German army's advancing column, behind the tanks in front, and exploded between the half-track armored vehicles with weak armor and vulnerable to attack.

In the Red Army's field artillery, the 122mm gun can only be regarded as mediocre, not the largest caliber, nor the strongest power. But even so, the power of the 122mm gun follows the truth that "caliber is king", which is a whole section higher than the general 105mm howitzer.

The unstoppable explosion and projectile fragments naturally killed the German armored vehicles without any problem.

The wreckage and minced meat flew together, and the shrapnel exploded in the wind.

The German army, which was caught off guard and stunned on the spot, had no time to react at all. This artillery bombardment without any signs was really too sudden and too fierce!

But before the German army, which was already bathed in the bombardment, had the simple idea of ​​escaping, the second wave of shells with a slower speed and a straight-line distance of nearly 20 kilometers followed.

Boom boom boom——

Another more violent earthquake, as if Pangu created the world and stepped on the earth to exert force.

All the German bastards who doubted the terrifying power of the 152 Cult had gone to another world to see their German Emperor.

The smoke, dust and flames that had not completely stopped after the last wave of 122 high-explosive grenades fell were immediately raised higher by the more powerful and fierce 152 grenades and rushed straight into the sky.

The flames rising in the rain were almost connected in an instant under the blessing of a sudden gust of wind, and the camp was burned. The number of German troops swallowed up further increased, and was no longer limited to the half-track armored vehicles just now. Even the black panthers who rushed in the front were wrapped up and became the target of the 152 Cult.

The violent explosions and flames were endless. The German troops who were already one kilometer away from the position had been blown to the point of almost disappearing in less than half a minute, and were completely hidden in the flames and smoke. But even so, this horrific nightmare that the German army had never dreamed of has only just begun.

Woo——

At the end of the flight of the curved trajectory, the speed of the shell has been severely attenuated due to air friction, which is slower than the speed of sound in the air, which is 340 meters per second. Therefore, it is normal to hear the whistling sound of the shell before being bombarded on the battlefield.

But even so, the whistling sound at the end of shells of different calibers is obviously different. The lucky German army that survived after multiple bombardments also made some conclusions about this.

For example, the roar of the 122-gun is like a lot of trucks honking their horns, and the roar of the 152-gun is like a train whistle. But now this terrible roar that many people have never heard, cannot be described in words. To describe it accurately, it was different and different from any Russian artillery roar I had heard before.

It sounded almost like, well, like the roar of some kind of prehistoric monster that had awakened from its slumber. It was even higher in decibels and more shocking than the visual roar of a certain ancestor in Shimokitazawa.

Boom——

The frightened thoughts of the German army ended here, and they were annihilated by dust and torn into pieces in a huge explosion comparable to a volcanic eruption.

The caliber of the 203 mm B-4 heavy howitzer is already comparable to that of a heavy cruiser. The caliber of the secondary guns on the dock-pressing battleship that the Japanese are proud of is not as large as this thing. It is natural to imagine how terrifying the power is.

The number of B-4 heavy howitzers is not large, only 4 "just".

But the terrifying power that these four B-4 heavy howitzers erupted the moment the shells all landed on the ground was more powerful and shocking than the previous 122 cannons and 152 cannons.

The blazing storm of flames that shot straight into the sky was connected into a ball, and the momentum was terrifying. The King Tiger, which was extremely unlucky and was directly hit on the top of the turret by the 203 heavy hammer, was the most miserable.

When the smoke and fire from the huge explosion were washed away by the rain, the only "relic" that could be found at the center of the huge explosion was the front half of the King Tiger turret, and the twisted and deformed parts of the King Tiger turret. , the torn apart car body remains.

As for where the rear part of the turret and the staggered road wheels went?

Well, it's better to let those dead Germans ask God about this matter.
