Chapter 2789 "Blast Me"
"Hello? Command received, please speak.
"Understood, requesting confirmation, the self-propelled artillery unit is about to enter the city, support is on the way, please be prepared."
"Received, please continue the attack as planned, repeat, continue the attack as planned, and advance to the core area."
Once the battle begins, the front-line command of the leader division will be busy, with all kinds of communication sounds and noises comparable to the vegetable market early in the morning, but it is busy and orderly, and not chaotic.
Malachenko, who is still in command today, is checking various continuously summarized news, and then building a complete and constantly changing battlefield situation model to ensure sufficient understanding of the enemy and our confrontation on the front line as much as possible.
Malachenko, who is sitting at the desk in the command hall, is looking through a telegram that has just been delivered. Kurbalov, who just finished a phone call a few seconds ago, is coming to his division commander and reporting at this moment.
"Good news, division commander! "
"The frontline siege team has received news that the enemy's defense on the main road in the center of the construction area has been breached, and the remaining enemy forces are fleeing to the core area. The siege team suffered minor losses and is now continuing to advance as planned."
"Well, what is the intensity of the enemy's resistance?"
As if hearing something that was already destined, Malashenko, whose expression did not change at all, asked in a deep voice. Kurbalov, who probably expected the division commander's demeanor and was not surprised, answered immediately.
"As the political commissar had estimated and analyzed before, the further we advance, the more the enemy's resistance intensity will increase exponentially."
"It seems that those tall outer buildings have indeed blocked most of the indirect artillery barrage, and the bombing intensity of aerial bombs alone is not enough to completely destroy the construction area. Most of the Germans should have hidden in the basement during the bombing. In short, the enemy's current strength can still cause a lot of trouble, and the survival rate of technical equipment is currently higher than expected. "
Tanks, planes, and artillery, these heavy firepower equipment are very useful, but being useful does not mean being omnipotent.
It is no exaggeration to say that the resistance and absorption capacity of large first-tier cities to heavy firepower is the strongest in all battlefield environments, without a doubt.
This strength is not the kind of strength that is difficult to destroy with conventional weapons, but the top weapons of mankind in the next era - nuclear weapons, are difficult to destroy modern first-tier metropolises.
To this day, Malashenko still clearly remembers that at the peak of the US-Soviet Cold War, the number of nuclear warheads that the United States planned to use to bomb Moscow was not three or thirty, but more than three hundred.
Of course, the United States I'm not stupid. I won't bomb a piece of rotten land that has been plowed into deep pits and ruins with nuclear weapons for more than 300 times just for fun.
The reason for doing this is very simple: to ensure that the Russians' brains are completely destroyed and the roots are eradicated.
Modern first-tier cities have a very strong ability to digest and absorb any energetic explosions. It is so strong that a nuclear bomb air explosion will not destroy the underground nuclear shelter with three-defense facilities on the lower floor of the building. The power of a nuclear bomb ground explosion can blow up the underground nuclear shelter, but the shock wave will be severely blocked by high-rise buildings, greatly weakening the dispersion power, and the killing radius will drop sharply to an unacceptable level.
So no matter which kind of explosion is used before and after The only solution is to pile up the quantity, to the extent that even if a nuclear bomb explodes, its severely weakened destruction range can completely cover an entire city and be bombed repeatedly without leaving any hidden dangers.
What? You mean Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not first-tier cities. Compared with places like Berlin, Moscow, and Washington, they are just villages in the city with a chicken-feather defense. They can't be used as a reference sample for modern first-tier cities to resist the power of nuclear explosions.
It is well known that large first-tier cities have an amazing ability to digest and absorb nuclear weapons, not to mention conventional weapons.
Malashenko, who personally experienced the Battle of Stalingrad , of course, he would not be surprised that so many Germans and their equipment could survive the seemingly overwhelming artillery and bombing.
Or to put it another way, the Germans were still crawling and swarming like cockroaches after being bombed, which was "reasonable and appropriate" in Malashenko's opinion.
Moreover, Malashenko, who had long anticipated such a situation, had indeed prepared the corresponding back-up plan and was just waiting to make a move.
"There is no time to waste time with the Nazi scum, send the TOS-1s, all the basic trial models and mass-produced models, and leave no one behind. Make sure that each siege team can get enough firepower support, aim at any bunker occupied by the Germans, and bomb them. "
At least for Malashenko, the TOS-1, a weapon that should not have been born at this time, was born at this moment. In addition to filling the gap in the mid-range fire support of the leader division, the main purpose is to be born for the Battle of Berlin, or any fierce street fighting that occurred on the German mainland in the later stages of the war.
Malashenko has personally experienced the Battle of Stalingrad once, and he does not want to have a similar experience again in his life.
When people are still alive, it is enough to go to hell once. There is no need to drag your comrades and brothers to go there again. TOS-1 is Malashenko's final answer to the invitation to hell.
Berlin will indeed be a hell, but don't get me wrong, it is the hell of your Nazi thugs, not my leader's division.
Under Malashenko's direct order, the fully armed rocket assault tanks with launch boxes loaded with ammunition at the departure position at the block entrance set off immediately.
I can personally see these steel behemoths with a physique that is even more magnificent and huge than IS7, rumbling through the block in a line, dispersing at the block entrance, and then rushing to the battlefield at the end of the square not too far ahead, the outer building area that has been successfully captured by the vanguard siege troops and has eliminated the threat of direct fire, and feel the roar of the machinery and the dust flying so close.
I have to say that this is indeed exciting and blood-boiling.
As a result, the reserve soldiers of the leader division who were waiting for follow-up reinforcements and attack orders at the starting position shouted and cheered, and their morale was shaking.
"Go! Land bombers, blow up those Nazis' butts!"
"The great leader division is invincible! Ura!!!"
"Forward, comrades! Forward! Victory belongs to us!"
