Chapter 3112: Showing Off One's Skills in Front of an Expert
Woo——woo——
Rumble——
"What a bastard! These Japanese bow-legged Sukas dare to take the initiative to hit me. They rebelled against him!!!"
Being caught off guard by the shelling by the Japanese army, he started swearing and swearing with local characteristics.
Malashenko, who was furious, was in the military headquarters tent that had just been set up, holding a phone in his right hand and yelling.
With his free left hand, he stretched out his index finger and gestured violently at the air, then gave an order to Varosha on the other end of the phone.
"Yes! These Japanese devils are lawless now! How dare they attack us?! Let them know the consequences of their stupid behavior! Send as many as you can, and send all the tanks you can! Give me These audacious Japanese devils are all going to hit the sky!"
Snapped--
"It's really asking for death!"
Malashenko put down the phone, put his hands on his hips, looked like he was extremely angry, and then cursed again.
Seeing this, Comrade Political Commissar was actually a little confused and couldn't figure out why Comrade Commander was so angry, so he took the initiative to speak without losing concern.
"What's wrong with you? It's just that the Japanese army took the initiative to attack and you shouldn't be like this. Varosha has enough strength to handle it. The troops in his hands are no weaker than the leading division you commanded in the Battle of Berlin. , or are you worried about his commanding ability, or something else?"
Malashenko, who would never yell at his political commissar comrades when he was angry with anyone, immediately lost much of his anger after hearing this.
Listening to the Japanese artillery fire that was still rumbling outside the tent, Malashenko, who was still angry, calmed down and replied.
"Am I angry that these Japanese devils only have a few pieces of junk in their hands? How dare they play with us?"
"We quickly transitioned from a marching state to a combat state. There were no preset positions or ready-made fortifications and bunkers to rely on. Many of the artillery shells fired by the Japanese this time were large-caliber heavy artillery. We suffered such casualties. The losses will definitely be relatively large, which is what makes me angry, although I also know that this is inevitable under objective battlefield conditions. "
Malashenko, who had not finished speaking, was not satisfied with simply explaining the reasons.
Being manipulated by the Japanese army and playing tricks on the world's strongest field artillery, Malashenko simply couldn't bear it if he didn't take revenge.
"No, this matter cannot be left to Varosha alone. I want to add more dirt to the graves of these Japanese devils!"
"Don't these Japanese bow-legged guys dare to play with us? Okay! Play with them!"
"The military's self-propelled artillery regiment immediately went into counter-artillery operations and asked Varosha to immediately report the coordinates of the enemy's artillery positions that he had confirmed and share them. I want these Japanese devils to know who is the boss of the artillery!"
Following Malashenko's order, the military-affiliated self-propelled artillery regiment, which had just stopped for preparations from marching, immediately began preparations for combat.
It is even bigger than the IS7. In terms of size alone, it is definitely the number one armored combat vehicle of the leading army and even the entire Red Army.
The ISU-203 self-propelled artillery with heavy barrels held aloft entered the firing positions in an orderly manner under the dispatching orders of the command vehicle.
The ISU-203 self-propelled artillery with heavy barrels held aloft entered the firing positions in an orderly manner under the dispatching orders of the command vehicle.
The fixed-angle loading semi-automatic loader with the same principle as the IS7 has a very high working efficiency. It only takes a short time to load huge projectiles and propellant cartridges with the cooperation and mechanical assistance of the double loader. It will be loaded in 15 seconds.
Compared with its terrifying 203mm caliber, the reloading time of about 15 seconds is definitely a terrifying number.
Not to mention that the similar Dakoujing self-propelled artillery from the Americans is not as powerful, and even the reloading time is far from keeping up with the efficiency of the ISU-203. In other words, looking at the same type of equipment in the world, there is indeed no other self-propelled artillery that can achieve such loading efficiency with similar power.
However, the relative weaknesses of ISU-203 and IS-7 are also the same - poor protracted combat capabilities.
The ready-to-fire ammunition rack in the turret tail compartment of the IS7 can hold 7 rounds of projectiles. In the case of the ISU-203, even though there is no turret, the combat room can be widened and the horizontal size of the ready-to-fire ammunition rack is expanded.
However, the 203mm projectiles are so huge that the actual ammunition capacity of the ammunition rack becomes smaller when the size of the ammunition rack increases, and it can only hold a mere 5 rounds of projectiles.
In other words, with a rate of fire of about 15 seconds per round, after continuously firing all 5 shells in the ammunition rack to be fired, the ISU-203 will enter a quite long loader reloading time.
So generally speaking, if you want a continuous and stable artillery barrage, it is best to divide all ISU-203 into two or three groups and fire alternately.
After the previous group of vehicles starts reloading ammunition, the next group of vehicles can still maintain uninterrupted firepower output.
However, this also depends on the battlefield situation. This is not the case at all times, such as when explosive firepower is needed.
At present, it is a counter-artillery operation involving artillery shooting and fighting. It only takes one move to defeat the enemy and completely kill the opponent. There is no need for long-term continuous fire suppression.
Because of this, Malashenko issued a very simple order - all 72 vehicles in the regiment fired at the same time, and all the ammunition racks of all the vehicles were used up. In the most ideal situation, there would be 360 203mm shells.
Considering the number of long-range artillery in the hands of the Japanese army, which was seriously short of artillery, there were definitely not 360, and even less than 120, which was less than one-third. On average, 3 203mm shells were more than enough for each Japanese long-range artillery, which was definitely a feast of artillery.
Malashenko did not believe that the Japanese had any ability to survive this. Unless they drove the Gundam, they would not be able to continue to jump after the 203mm shells were fired. They had better go to the underworld and slowly jump with your Amaterasu.
At the same time, the "artillery vs. artillery" artillery battle had actually begun, and the 203mm self-propelled artillery regiment, which was directly under the command of the leader's army, had already started bombarding before it was ready.
The soldiers under his command were bombed. As the division commander, Valosha was of course the most anxious, cursing the Japanese Sukaro for seeking death.
The offensive preparations were temporarily interrupted by the Japanese artillery fire. It was not a good idea to forcibly assemble troops to organize an attack under the heavy artillery bombardment. Even a certain alien archbishop who was too glorious would not do this.
Valosha, who was anxious to put an end to the Japanese artillery fire, immediately organized a long-range artillery counterattack.
The reconnaissance troops, which were highly mobile and extremely good at high-speed infiltration and detours behind enemy lines and on the edge of the battlefield, had already taken the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle to go around in a big circle.
After repelling the Japanese scouts, they went further behind enemy lines and found the location of the enemy artillery positions that were exposed after the firing in time, and immediately sent back the accurate coordinates using the car radio.
After getting the attack coordinates, Valosha immediately ordered to start the attack without saying a word. The ISU-152\A self-propelled artillery, Katyusha and Andryusha rocket launchers of the division and subordinate units were all involved in the artillery battle.
The overwhelming artillery fire had just swept towards the Japanese artillery positions when an even more intense barrage of 203mm heavy artillery shells flew from the direction of the follow-up large force farther behind Varosha.
