Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
A German sergeant quickly walked to the position of a German 150mm caliber howitzer and shouted to the soldiers who were wiping the artillery: "The emergency command above, immediately adjust the artillery, aim at the 22nd area, and hit half The cardinal number covers the shot, immediately. "
"Half cardinal? You mean our entire artillery regiment 24 150mm caliber howitzers, salvo half cardinal?" After a while, I immediately turned around and shouted: "The emergency command of the headquarters, half the base shooting, started to work! This time it was finally able to cool off."
With his shouting, the German artillery unit seemed to be resurrected in an instant, and it was very lively on the otherwise quiet position. Some people began to adjust the parameters of the artillery against the firing table, while others pryed open the ammunition box with a crowbar and moved out the shells one by one.
The map in the hands of the artillery is a redrawn accurate map, and the coordinate parameters of each block are marked with a grid. Therefore, the German artillery cover shot was quite accurate, enough to cause very great damage to the attacking Soviet troops.
The air defense camouflage net was carefully lifted by the soldiers. Even now, when the Soviet aircraft is running out, the German soldiers are also required to strictly implement the air defense regulations to avoid unnecessary losses in certain special times. The barrel of the cannon followed the soldiers' non-stop shaking of the handle, a little bit too high, and finally pointed to where they should be aligned.
"Loading is complete!" The loader next to the first artillery reported loudly after loading the shot. Not far away, after a few seconds, the loader of the second cannon also shouted this line. One by one cannons were ready for volley, and a banner followed by a flag was raised by the commander, and a full of 24 150 mm howitzers, like a silent killer, awaiting the launch order.
"The counterattack is starting!" An infantry commander on the front line looked at his watch and shouted loudly. Beside him, an ambush mg42 machine gun began to growl.
"The counterattack begins!" The engine had been started, and a thick black smoke was emitted. The commander of the German tank unit buckled the hatch above his head, and the leopard tank started in the rubble.
"Lock the target! I start to dive! Comet 4 starts to dive!" The pilot inside a Stuttgart 2 attack aircraft confirmed to the intercom over thousands of kilometers of sky.
"Open the gun!" On the artillery position, after hearing the order, red flags were waved down one after another, and one giant cannon after another made its own roar.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The muzzle fired a dazzling flame, and then the thick smoke from the sky poured out, as if it was a violently rolling cloud, extending above the cannon's muzzle, as if to occupy the entire sky . With the violent shaking, the huge artillery body was pulled by the recoil, and it quickly receded. The whole position was dusty, and everyone could not help squinting.
After this noisy, a 150-mm caliber shell rotated at high speed, flew out of the barrel of the rifled artillery, traversed the beautiful arc in the sky, and flew towards the 22 zone that had been marked. The friction of the air heated the surface of the shell.
As the air resistance continued to erode, and the thrust formed by the gunpowder explosion gradually passed, the shells began to drop in height, began to fall, and finally hit the ground on the streets full of Soviet Red Army, the fuze was activated, the internal gunpowder was ignited and exploded Opening, this shell completed its mission and ended its brilliant life.
Its life is very short, and the formation of countless explosive fragments swept the entire explosion radius in less than a second. The ground was easily cut into huge craters, and the gravel and mud mixed with dense fragments to gather dozens of people around. The Soviet soldiers fell to the ground. For a while, the flesh and blood were vague and they didn't know which part of the body was flying everywhere. The living Soviet soldiers all fell to the ground subconsciously.
The second shell hit a corner of a building not far away. The explosion caused bricks and tiles to fly out tens of meters away. The dust rose into the sky. The sound of the building collapse made the living Soviet army feel the terrible end of the world. This is just a At first, because the third and fourth shells fell one after another, the entire area was covered by German artillery fire, explosions everywhere, and the sky seemed to be gray.
...
"Hello? Hello? What did you say? Tell me more! Let's talk more in detail!" A Soviet front-line commander took the phone and shouted angrily at a commander who was fighting the Germans: "What caused your troops to be broken up? I heard the German artillery ... I am reporting to Comrade Commander, you can hold me! No matter what you do! Hold me!"
He hung up the phone, and a shell hit a few tens of meters away from his headquarters. The whole ground was shaking. The dust on the ceiling fell down, hitting the drawings on the table, making a crackling sound. He fanned the dust in front of him with his hand and grabbed the phone in his hand again.
The Germans and the front performers are not an army at all. If the German offense is like a warm 40-degree hot water, then the Germans are now a bottle of 90% concentrated sulfuric acid. Not at all a level thing.
"Comrade Commander! My troops are under heavy attack by the Germans! Their cannonballs hit my head like raindrops!" The division commander called the Ministry's phone and begged his superiors in grievances: "Request support! Request artillery support and military support."
"I heard the sound of gunfire! Not only the sound of gunfire from your side, I also heard the sound of artillery from the 2nd division. Did the Germans take the gunpowder? Why did they suddenly become so irritable." The mood doesn't sound very good. This seems to be a certain thing, because no matter who faces this situation, his mood will not be better.
From a few minutes, the phone call he received either requested support or reported how many casualties the troops had. The German artillery fell precisely on top of his offensive troops. The entire counterattack plan was severely hindered, and even some positions have been recaptured by the Germans.
Of course, this is not his most desperate moment. Although the commander of the Soviet army now feels that he is very desperate at this moment, the next moment, his despair becomes a complete despair as more German troops enter the battle. .
A German Stuttgart 2 bomber began to dive and bombarded the Soviet troops exposed. Some Soviet troops had just assembled for the next offensive mission, and were assaulted by these German attack aircraft like vultures. The whole army was too late to disperse, and it was destroyed by machine guns and bombs.
Since the entire Stalingrad was delineated into dozens of areas, the German commander could accurately determine the approximate location of the Soviet army in the process of determining the attack target and calculating the location of the Soviet assembly. This allows German aircraft and artillery to more accurately attack the coordinates that have been set for a long time, achieving amazing attack accuracy and density.
When the Luftwaffe joined the battle to strangle the Soviet ground forces, the Soviets really felt their huge advantage in terms of firepower with the Germans: in the face of the air-ground integration, there was a plane bombing on the ground, and the German stereoscopic firepower covered by artillery. The Soviet counterattack became difficult.
The problem is that now it is not only difficult, but the counterattack of the superior German forces. On the ground when the Soviets have begun to chaos and defeat, the German armored forces first appeared in the street battle of Stalingrad, although These tanks did not advance quickly, but destroyed all Soviet tanks that appeared as an assault force.
The German tanks attacked the existing positions for a short distance, and then the German grenadiers occupied the nearby buildings and ruins. The positions that the Soviets finally took away were taken back. One after another, the German flag was spread to the top of the building, and the German artillery extended forward as the Germans advanced.
The defeat of the Soviets became unstoppable. In the three offensive directions, the troops attacking northward were pushed back by the elite German SS armored division. The loss was heavy, not to mention about 400 meters in depth. The defensive position; the troops attempting to seize the train station westward only 900 meters forward and were forced to stop. Then the German counterattack came as scheduled. Eventually they retreated to their original starting point, but they lost a total of 3,000 soldiers. And 16 tanks.
The situation of the two elite Soviet infantry elite divisions attacking northward was slightly better. These troops withstood the crazy attack of the German troops and eventually advanced 100 meters at the cost of 1900 people killed. However, compared with before the attack, The Soviet army tried to expand the longitudinal width of the Volga River, but instead shortened it by about 300 meters because of the subsequent battle.
A counterattack, just three hours. From 11 a.m., the Soviets launched an offensive, and at 12 noon the Germans began to counterattack. Until 2 p.m., the front line gradually calmed down. The Soviets lost a total of 7,000 people. Instead, they lost some blocks and positions.
There were almost 1,700 German soldiers killed, including 300 Ukrainian soldiers. This loss made Kühler abandon the plan to continue the assault, and once again replaced the three new Ukrainian infantry divisions in the front line, boring but very effective to continue playing his lattice game. c
