Chapter 919: German heavy artillery

"The aircraft carrier we built for the Soviet Union suffered a serious quality accident. The refractory bricks inside the boiler fell off, causing the boiler to explode. The aircraft carrier had to enter the shipyard for overhaul." In Berlin, Speer told Cyric Out of the report.
"This batch of refractory bricks were made by the Soviets. It was because of their crude refractory bricks that caused the boiler explosion." Reinhardt followed to make a judgment.
Everyone present was cheerful.
Everything has been calculated by Germany for a long time, and it was planned to make such an effect. Therefore, in advance, the excuse of insufficient refractory bricks was used to delay the construction period. As a result, the Soviets couldn't wait and shipped a batch from them.
At this time, the Soviets were crying and could not tell. This cannot be blamed on Germany. If you want to blame, you have to blame the Soviets themselves!
"This incident at sea today fully demonstrates that the Soviets can't wait to do it." After laughing, Cyrek said: "Our foreign affairs department must draft a severely worded statement against the invading Soviet Union. People protest, we must have reason and evidence, be reasonable first, and then act."
Ribbentrop nodded. This report, which has been drafted three times, must show Germany's broad mind.
"We have already detected that in order to deal with our Brest Fortress, the Soviets mobilized a large number of artillery. It is estimated that there will be at least four large-caliber artillery regiments equipped with 152 mm howitzers, more than 100 guns, and 122 mm. There will also be hundreds of howitzer regiments in China. This time, the Soviets have really lost their money." Keitel said.
The best way to deal with a strong fortress is heavy artillery. By using cannons to bombard the enemy's strong fortress thoroughly, this is the most suitable plan for attacking the fortress.
If you don’t know the arrangement of the Soviets, you really understand the way of the Soviets! However, now, Germany is fully prepared!
"Their biggest is the 152mm caliber." Cyric said: "With this heavy artillery, you still want to hit our fortress? Are our heavy artillery deployed in place?"
"Yes, Führer Cyric, our 628th and 428th heavy artillery companies, equipped with Carl cannon, have been deployed in the fortress. In the woods 20 kilometers behind the fortress, our Gustav cannon is also It has been deployed. This time, we will let the Soviets know what a real heavy artillery is."
It was Guderian who was talking about blitzkrieg and armored attackers, but now he is also confident about his own heavy artillery.
Carl Cannon, this is a mortar with a caliber of six hundred millimeters. Now a total of six cannons have been produced, and they are named: Cannon No. 1 "Adam", Cannon No. 2 "Ava", Cannon No. 3 "Dol", Cannon No. 4" Odin, the fifth gun "Rocky", and the sixth gun "Divo".
This kind of heavy artillery has a short range, only a few kilometers, but one shell is enough to blow up a large area.
As for the Gustav Cannon, only the first gun has been completed, and the second gun, Dora, has been cut.
Yes, this cannon is the famous Dora Cannon! (Everyone should be familiar with Dora Cannon, so sometimes the name is mentioned, and everyone is more familiar.)
Both of these cannons were built on the proposal of Hitler, who liked the cannons, to break through the Maginot line.
After all, the fortifications of the Maginot Line are sturdy, with the cover and walls of its shelter as thick as 3.5 meters. Even if a 420 mm caliber artillery shell like the Big Bell Tower hits directly, it is difficult to cause casualties and equipment damage.
Although Germany already has V-1 missiles and precision-guided bombs, these early guided weapons are susceptible to interference and have poor hit accuracy. What's more, the cost is not cheap.
Therefore, Cyric did not oppose these plans at the time.
Beginning in 33 years, Hitler focused on breaking through the Maginot line and ordered the development of a new type of super cannon beyond the "Cannon of Paris." This difficult task is still undertaken by the famous Krupp arsenal in Germany.
After 5 years of hard work, in the spring of 38 years, Krupp Arsenal finally produced this 800 mm caliber super cannon. To commemorate the founder of the plant Gustav Krupp, Hitler called it "Heavy Gustav".
This cannon is also one of Germany’s ace strategic weapons. In that European war, Guderian’s armored soldiers made unparalleled feats, but this cannon did not have the opportunity to show up. Now, after getting the order , The artillery who came to the Polish border were full of confidence.
This cannon is about 43 meters long, 7 meters wide, 12 meters high, and weighs 1,350 tons, which is almost twice the size of the "Paris Cannon". Therefore, the ordinary method is not acceptable. It must be transported by train. After the transport is carried out, the launching position of the cannon is specially built in the forest. It is still the track layout, and the movement of the vehicles on the track. Adjust the position of the cannon.
It took three weeks to install and debug. Now, this cannon is in a state of being ready to go.
With the development of weapons, this type of artillery will eventually be outdated. Even if it is excellent, it will be passively beaten in the face of aerial bombing. The combination of strategic bombers and heavy bombs is king, but now, it is still the most effective. arms.
Such a cannon requires a lot of people to operate. The entire cannon has more than 1,400 operators, and his commander, Major General Bolt, is also experienced.
At this point, Major General Bolt stood in front of the newly assembled cannon, confident.
This train cannon is quite tall ~EbookFREE.me~ Only by standing in front of it can you see how spectacular this cannon is. Its chassis is composed of two sets of train chassis. Only in this way can it be possible. It can withstand the recoil during launch, and its barrel is even bigger.
"General, we are ready. We have calibrated all shots and can fire at any time." Colonel Wolfgang said next to Major General Bolt.
The commander-in-chief of this cannon is Bolt, and the specific shooting is commanded by Wolfgang. It is not easy for this cannon to accurately hit targets dozens of kilometers away. The most important of these is to calibrate the shooting elements.
At this time, on the map that Wolfgang spread out, various data have been calibrated densely. The azimuth and target of each frontline position have been accurately measured. Once the battle begins, they can use the fastest Aiming and shooting at a speed!
"Recently, the Soviets on the opposite side have been mobilized frequently. The latest intelligence of the headquarters shows that the Soviet offensive is likely to have been launched in the last two days. We want to make our artillery famous in this battle!"
As an artillery general, Major General Bolt is holding back his energy, his cannon is much better than Stuka and HS-129!
