Chapter 1752 Digging Your Own Grave

Coincidentally, if it weren't for Colonel Klose's order to make the final preparations before the bombardment, the Il-2 pilots, who could only look down from the sky and had a very poor vision, would probably not be able to find the location of the enemy's artillery positions. Read

Colonel Klose's order became the last fuse for the funeral of the German artillery. The artillery positions, which were lined up in a row, not dense but rigorous, and had the unique flavor of the Germans, looked like a parade formation at a distance from the sky, and they were so tangible in every detail.

What's more terrible is that because the previous wave of shelling to cover the retreat consumed a lot of ammunition, the German self-propelled artillery that wanted to launch another large-scale bombardment would have to replenish ammunition.

After a large number of ammunition supply vehicles came in, the density of vehicles in the same area became denser, and it was wrong to put the vehicles so neatly and orderly.

The Soviet pilot, who had noticed something was wrong after a casual glance during the dive, decided to give it a try. He turned the nose of the aircraft with a lateral swing of the joystick and rushed straight over, pouring the remaining four 132mm aviation rockets towards the nearest German armored vehicle within visual range, and also pulled the trigger to fire a series of large-caliber machine gun shells to add some seasoning.

This head-on attack directly sounded the final death knell for the German artillery position.

The 132mm large-caliber aviation rocket dragged an orange-red tail flame, crashed through the fragile steel plate of the ammunition transport vehicle and exploded.

This extremely close-range power was not small, and the explosion of the warhead instantly caused a chain reaction. The remaining dozen or so 150mm projectiles and propellants in the ammunition transport vehicle exploded on the spot. The huge explosion directly tore the ammunition transport vehicle without heavy armor protection to pieces.

Another unlucky person was also affected: right next to this ammunition transporter, there was a 150mm "Wild Bee" self-propelled artillery that was being restocked with ammunition.

The design of the open fighting room was originally conducive to the performance of artillery, which was a good thing, but no one would have thought that this design would be more ferocious when it came to taking lives.

Several German artillerymen who had not yet escaped from the vehicle became buried with the vehicle. The earth-shaking firestorm engulfed everything around it the moment it swept into the vehicle: shells, flesh and blood, and metal mechanical parts were all engulfed in it.

The shells that had been restocked in the vehicle added fuel to the fire, like a chemical reaction injected with a catalyst, and then caused an even more powerful and shocking explosion.

All this happened so quickly and within just a few seconds. The Soviet pilot, who was driving the war eagle and had already entered the climbing state, only felt a sudden earth-shaking loud noise behind him, and even the Il-2 attack aircraft he was sitting on was shaken by the shock wave that came instantly.

"Damn it! What is in that car? A whole car of explosives?"

The Soviet pilot who forcibly stabilized the joystick in his hand was still busy adjusting the flying posture of the war eagle and didn't care about anything else, but the other comrades hovering in the sky above the battlefield saw everything that happened on the ground clearly.

Such a loud chain reaction explosion is definitely not caused by destroying a German tank. This is at least the noise that can only be created by a pile of shells stacked together and exploded.

This explosion is so violent and has a chain reaction. It is obvious what kind of situation can cause such a noise.

If the explosion just now did not contain a large amount of ammunition that exploded together, I am afraid that such a thing would be called a strange thing.

The Soviet pilots, who would rather kill by mistake than let go, did not miss the opportunity. Eight Il-2 attack aircraft immediately swung their noses, broke away from the hovering, and swooped down towards the German positions below.

The German anti-aircraft guns were already firing, and the green tracer bullets cut through the sky, leaving a fiery trail. Although the Il-2 attack aircraft was strong and resistant to attack, it was by no means invincible and could not withstand the anti-aircraft guns. A string of anti-aircraft guns swept over it and it was still likely to kneel down, and most likely crash on the spot.

But even in this situation, knowing the high risk, the Il-2 attack aircraft that rushed down against the German anti-aircraft firepower were still fearless.

At the combat mission arrangement meeting before takeoff, the importance of this mission had already been learned from the head of the regiment. This seemingly insignificant ground battle is directly related to the success or failure of the entire theater battle. It is so important that every soldier with faith is worth fighting for and even sacrificing his life.

Seeing this, another group of Il-2 attack aircraft have already turned their attack direction to cover their comrades. The violently whistling red wing cannon barrage swept straight towards the German anti-aircraft guns like a fire dragon.

The German soldiers who were operating the anti-aircraft machine guns in the open truck compartment could not withstand such a crazy baptism. They were immediately torn apart by the terrifying kinetic energy of the large-caliber projectiles that was enough to penetrate light armor, and their arms and legs flew everywhere, their internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and turned into a pool of minced meat.

The final outcome was nothing more than being blown up on the spot with the guns, and turned into a pile of flesh and metal fragments that could no longer play any role.

The small number of German anti-aircraft guns that were quickly destroyed were silenced on the spot, allowing another group of Il-2s that were heading straight for the suspected German artillery position to attack more smoothly.

As the dive distance continued to shorten, the ground targets that became larger and larger became increasingly clear. The Soviet pilots with excellent eyesight finally saw clearly when they approached the last few hundred meters of the dive distance and were about to launch rockets. The true identity of the German targets on the ground was confirmed, which were self-propelled artillery guns with high barrels!

"Gotcha! Accept the warm greetings of communism, fascist pig!"

Boo hoo hoo——

Dong dong dong——

Woo——

The cannons and rockets fired simultaneously, and the scream of the aerial bombs falling off their pylons mixed with the roar of the propellers and spread throughout the sky.

The mixed sound was so harsh and sharp, but was immediately replaced by an even more deafening explosion.

The fate of the German artillery position was already doomed when the first Hornet and ammunition transport truck were destroyed. The preparations for the artillery attack, which were originally intended to destroy the enemy, ended up being an act of digging graves to bury one's own people.

The huge explosions that kept making loud noises in the chain reaction soon merged into one, and the huge explosion power made the entire earth tremble and shake.

What will be left after destruction? Who can say clearly about this kind of thing?

The only thing that is certain is that this German self-propelled artillery unit, which Colonel Klose relied on as his last trump card, will be completely obliterated and cease to exist.
