Chapter 930: Carl Cannon

As if expecting a plane to dive down behind him, Varisi pushed the control stick and the plane turned to the left with difficulty, throwing off three 40mm cannon shells, and then he pushed the control stick again to return to the correct heading. Come up.
A distance of a few kilometers is almost a blink of an eye for an airplane in the sky. He must observe the ground carefully, and targets may appear at any time!
Sure enough, when his plane continued to fly forward for one kilometer, his eyes suddenly opened up, and that huge cannon was simply not like a man could make!
That is definitely the most evil weapon in the world!
Varisi toggled the switch to switch the weapon to two 250 kg bombs under the wings. Now that the target was found, his next task was to destroy the opponent!
At this moment, there was a violent shaking from the rear fuselage. He did not look backwards. Anyway, this kind of aircraft did not have any rear vision, and he had no time. He needed to enter the attack route, even if he hit the aircraft himself. Go up and crash the cannon on the ground!
But then, his plane was completely out of control. The fire on the rear fuselage spread forward. He glanced at the cannon in despair for the last time, still yelling: "Attack aircraft, attack. A cannon destroyed!"
The Soviets are the ultimate opponent!
Watching the plane hovering and falling, Werner also kept admiring in his heart. Compared with the soldiers of those countries on the Western Front, the soldiers of the Soviet Union were even more terrifying. Their fighting courage was admired by the Germans.
Unfortunately, although they have the courage, they have no equipment. At this time, the battle in the sky is still one-sided.
An Il-2 attack plane was blown out under the attack of FW190, but the remaining planes were still flying stubbornly towards their own cannon. This momentum won the respect of the German pilots. They They are also the bravest soldiers, and the best way to deal with them is to destroy them in the air!
The battle in the air is not over yet, and the battle on the ground has finally begun.
The KV-1 and T-34 tanks were the forerunner, and a large number of Soviet troops launched the first wave of charges toward the fortress!
In terms of numbers, the Soviet army is quite large, tens of thousands of people, and the scale is large enough. However, the objective geographical location limits the number of people they invest in the offensive.
For example, the main body of the fortress, the main barriers, are the Warren Fortress and the Terespil Fortress. The Terespol Fortress was built on the bank of the Bug River and contained many churches and monasteries from the Tsarist era. These buildings are an important part of the entire fortifications. The Kobrin Fortress in the north is the original old city of Brest, where there are dense streets and many strong buildings built of early stone.
The most important fortification of the fortress was built in the central fortress. On the outer side of the central island fortress, a ring-shaped fort was formed by solid barracks. The walls of the fortress were two meters thick and contained about 500 turrets.
In the center of the central fortress stands the St. Nicholas Cathedral designed by the famous architect Gurimi. It is the tallest building in the central fortress and an extremely strong firepower support point.
The central fortress is connected to three other auxiliary fortresses by city gates and bridges. Among them, the Kobrin Fortress in the north is connected by the Bright Bridge, and the Terje on the west bank of the Bug River is connected by the Terespol Gate and a huge cable bridge. Fort Spor; connected to Fort Warren in the south through Holm Gate and an openable and closable suspension bridge.
It can be seen that these fortresses are only connected by a cable bridge, and the road connecting the fortresses outside is only five meters wide. It is difficult for two tanks to stand side by side. In this way, the Soviet army's offensive cannot give full play to their firepower advantage. Come, the force cannot be deployed!
Fortunately, the Soviets are abundant, and they can attack all fortresses at the same time. At this time, the road to each fortress is crowded with troops.
Especially outside the Terespil Fortress are the officers and soldiers of the 44th Infantry Regiment of the 42nd Soviet Infantry Division. They are definitely full of energy at this time.
Their regiment leader was captured by the Germans and tied to the top of the church in the center. One of their scout troops was beaten severely by the Germans and was also locked up on it. For them, this What a shame!
Now, the commander of the infantry regiment is lieutenant-level political instructor Nikolai Nesterchuk. There is no need for him to do ideological work. The soldiers are filled with outrage and wait to rush forward.
The last round of artillery attacks finally stopped in front of a German super cannon. They suspended the artillery and quickly moved their positions, otherwise they would become the targets of German attacks. The entire artillery force is likely to be annihilated. .
Even so, the shelling lasted for twenty minutes. The entire Terespil Fortress suffered at least a thousand shells, and the people at the top of the church were still intact.
Major Zavrilov was extremely melancholy. He looked at the troops below, rushing up to die, and he felt heartbroken. However, he was already speechless. He just kept shouting. His voice was already dumb, and he couldn't make any sound. He could only watch and watch his troops, experiencing a terrible death.
Below, the big killers in those fortresses are ready.
The Carl cannon was also designed to deal with the "Machino Line" built by France. This cannon was developed by German Rheinmetall.
Initially, this new type of mortar had a caliber of 800 millimeters and fired shells weighing 4 tons.
The result was rejected by the military, so the designers revised the plan. The caliber of the artillery was reduced to 600 mm, the shell weight was 2 tons, the charge was 350 kg, the muzzle velocity was 243 m/s, the maximum range was 4 km, and the range of high and low firing- 10°～75°, standard shooting angle 55°～75°, adopt crawler type self-propelled chassis.
Although some designers have insisted that it would be more convenient to disassemble the artillery into several parts for transportation~EbookFREE.me~, the assembly time is quite long, so in the end the artillery adopts a tracked self-propelled chassis.
At this time, the chassis of the mouse tank was also designed. Therefore, this gun was based on the mouse chassis in the design stage, with lighter weight than the mouse and good maneuverability.
The short and thick cannon on the top looks very different.
The Dora cannon was eventually cut down. This cannon is too large to be suitable for a large number of equipment, while this Carl cannon is different.
The self-propelled chassis is convenient to come and go, and it is easy to enter and withdraw from positions. Therefore, this cannon has not been cut.
In particular, in production, the artillery general Karl Baker had high hopes for this heavy artillery. He believes that once a few heavy artillery is used intensively, it will definitely be urged.
Because of his insistence, this heavy artillery was finally named "Karl".
Now, it is also the first actual firing of Karl Cannon.
