Chapter 2143 The Art of Giant Cannon (Part 2)

As Malashenko thought, the "crazy game" prepared by the Germans was indeed not that simple. Google search reading

The German artillerymen, who seemed so cold-blooded and ruthless that they did not even save their own people, now began to speak. The bombardment came at a time when the Red Army's shelling had just ended and they began to replenish ammunition and urgently inspect and maintain the artillery. You want to say that the Germans are not interested. It was just a coincidence. Malashenko thought it was burning newspapers on the grave - to fool ghosts, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.

"Come, let's chat in front of the map."

Malashenko, who felt that he had probably guessed some of the situation, did not waste any more nonsense. He snapped his fingers and motioned for Kulbalov to follow him and talk to the map of the war zone. Kulbalov, who did not dare to neglect, also immediately Following Malashenko's footsteps, he stepped forward.

"The scouts reported that the Germans' nearest forward starting position is less than three kilometers away from the 267th Infantry Division's forward position in the defense zone, which is right here, right here."

"I don't think the German artillery was willing to do anything to save their bombed comrades. According to the worst-case scenario, our artillery counter-preparations may not have bombed them at all. Whether the news leaked or the Germans were aware of it, What happened? In short, their first wave of offensive troops may not be assembled at the forward departure position we expected in advance, but here, near the second position farther back. "

"In this way, many things can be explained. Our artillery fire did not cover most of the German troops. The bombing of a small number of forward troops is not worth the Germans exposing their artillery positions at a disadvantaged range. They know that artillery battles are not our opponent, They lost nine out of ten artillery battles, and one time it was because the Red Army did not manage enough artillery shells.”

"If I were the commander of the Germans, I would put the precious artillery, which is likely to become disposable after exposure, to the most critical moment: artillery preparation during the attack."

"Our artillery counter-fire preparations have just stopped. In theory, it is the most difficult time to start an artillery counterattack immediately and requires the longest reaction time. It is difficult to predict that the Germans will suddenly open fire at this time, and there is a considerable sudden performance guarantee. Unexpected.”

"Look at this time, it's less than an hour before dawn, and counting the ten or twenty minutes at dawn when you can charge in the dark, this is enough for the Germans to prepare for a round of basic artillery fire in half an hour. This is also the current situation. It takes the longest time to prepare for artillery fire. If we choose another time to fire, the Germans will lose half of their ammunition base in the artillery battle. "

"The Germans have a long memory and know that the attack waves cannot be assembled too far forward. They draw a straight line in front of their second position and the 267th Infantry Division's forward position, which is only less than ten kilometers away. Once the armored cluster is launched, it will It’s just a matter of stepping on the gas.”

"So you don't need me to tell you what the situation is now. The Germans are about to go crazy. As soon as their artillery fire stops, it's time for us to take action. We can't let the 267th Infantry Division face it alone. They are not even guards, they are front troops. The weak point of the defense zone named by the headquarters. Comrade Commander asked me to guard this key point. And I entrust the task to you. Even if you put on your head and unarmed and personally lead people to me, you can't let the Germans from Break the opening here!"

Malashenko put down the map and was busy poking and making gestures with a pencil for a long time. He also figured out what was going on now and understood that Kulbalov, who knew what the division commander wanted to express, just stood at attention.

But before the heroic words of the military order could be uttered, a figure suddenly flashed in from outside the camp door, and a familiar voice shouted at the top of his lungs, which immediately drew Malashenko's attention and interrupted Kull. Balof didn't have time to say anything.

"Comrade commander, comrade political commissar radio, hurry up, I need you to pick it up in person!"

""

The silent gesture of patting the shoulder was the last thing Malashenko left for Kulbalov. When Malashenko stopped running again, he had already arrived in his car and picked up the The posture of the enhanced radio transmitter dedicated to the command vehicle.

"I'm Malashenko, please speak."

""

"A bombardment immediately? How many artillery pieces do we have in place?"

"Okay, okay, I understand. Then follow the order and you are responsible for the arrangements. Start firing all the guns that can be used. Use as many cannons as you can. We will contact you if there is any situation. The call is over."

Snapped--

Malashenko hung up the radio transmitter in his hand and put it back on the radio stand. Iushkin, who was like a curious baby next to the gun block, was just staring at him with wide eyes. Comrade the commander then spoke.

"Are we going to have a bombardment?"

Not only Iushkin, but also Seryosha, Artyom and Sergei were all in the car. The entire 177 crew was gathered together in silence, as if everyone knew that Comrade Commander was about to speak next. And waiting for the results.

"The second round of extended artillery fire will use stronger firepower this time. The artillery attack coordinates are the Germans' second position and will begin immediately. The artillery of our division has also been mobilized, who makes us directly under the front army."

"But our division's artillery isn't there yet?"

Boom boom boom——

Boo hoo hoo——

Iushkin hadn't finished speaking when the whistling of artillery fire that had just stopped in the air above his head began again, and this time it was even closer. Anyone with a brain would have guessed that it was the artillery of his own division that was speaking, and the artillery position of the leader's division was not far from here.

"I thought the bombardment just now was fierce enough. That was the artillery preparation of the front. Could it be that the group of fascists on the opposite side are not dead yet? Are we blowing up ashes and corpses?"

Not only the artillery firepower of the leader's division, but also more heavy artillery barrages that rose from the ground and rushed to the distant horizon at the same time. Only the rain of rockets flying all over the sky will probably have to wait for a while, and the firepower is much smaller than before.

After all, the reloading time of both Katyusha and Andryusha is not that fast, and the German artillery chose to fire after the Red Army artillery spoke. This is probably because of this.

"It's not that we are blasting ashes and corpses, but the Germans may not have had this feast at all. Now we are just giving them a supplementary meal and teaching those monkeys who dare to call themselves kings in front of tigers a lesson. Our division can only be regarded as supplementary firepower at best. In terms of artillery firepower, we can't even compare with those guards artillery divisions. The highlight is still to watch them."

He and Iushkin half leaned out of the turret and admired the second round of fire rain pouring down.

The Germans may be a foot higher, but Vatutin's side is obviously ten feet higher.

You can hide on the first day, but you can't hide on the fifteenth. No one stipulates that artillery counter-preparation can only be carried out once.

You expected that I would counter-prepare your first departure position with artillery, but did you expect that I would expect that you would expect that my artillery would cover your front departure position and then put troops on the second position? Are you still planning to do something about offensive artillery preparation and play tricks?

Who doesn't have a trick? A fake bombing will trick your artillery positions out. Don't jump to conclusions about who will win or lose. The real artillery counter-preparation has just begun.

This wave, this wave is Comrade Vatutin in the ionosphere, as for the Germans, I'm afraid they haven't even reached the stratosphere yet.
