At the same time, Balzen's reconnaissance battalion remained outside the city, and they were no longer in a hurry to attack the city after receiving the order.

After the reconnaissance battalion's tentative assault was over, they pulled back as many people as they could, whether dead or wounded.

There were more than 20 casualties in the battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion did not take advantage of it, so Balzen was happy to stay. He believed that both the German army and the puppet army were frightened by the tragic situation of the destruction of the armored vehicle just now. And what is the special attack that the commander is talking about? He pondered for a moment, maybe after the arrival of the large army, he set up the rocket artillery tubes behind the current position, only to raze the city to the ground.

Balzen was so confident about the future that he even smoked a cigarette and waited for the arrival of the paratrooper brigade.

While he was smoking, the telegraph operator with the telegraph on his back ran to the battalion headquarters and handed Balzen the headphones and microphones.

"Battalion commander, the superior has given an order."

He was full of joy and wanted to explain to the commander that he had prepared very well, and the enemy was even more frightened.

Yang Mingzhi on the other side didn't have time to listen to his praise, and directly ordered: "Owl, you guys are ready to monitor!" The first catfish is about to start bombarding, your people are on alert, observe the landing point for me and report it immediately! ”

Balzen was taken aback, but he still calmed down and asked, "Owl received!" Catfish, what are you going to do? Launch the catfish now? Is it a straddle shot? ”

"That's right! It's a straddle shot! Owl, keep in touch with each other! Catfish launches right away! ”

Yang Mingzhi immediately took off the headphones and handed the microphone back to Diana. Then, with a jerk of his right hand, he fell down again and roared: "Огонь! ”

The take-off of the catfish rocket launcher carries a loud noise, as well as a lot of smoke. One was experimentally launched from the launch site on the side of the stream, and its loud noise was also picked up by Diana's headphones that she had not yet put on her ears, so that Balzen on the other side of the electromagnetic wave could hear it clearly.

As if every cell in his body had been stimulated, Balzen jumped to his feet, pulled his telegraph operator Mira, and rushed to the forefront of the troops.

The soldiers who stayed in the forest did not know why the battalion commander was so excited, and they also quickly took up their weapons and rushed to the front line.

Balzen roared: "Attention comrades! Rocket artillery is coming! All of you keep an eye on the explosion and prepare me to avoid the guns! ”

Many soldiers were a little confused, but not long after their words fell, a sharp whistling suddenly came from the sky!

Listening to the whistling, some of the veterans directly thought of the scene when the German Stuka dived.

A veteran looked at the voice, and he raised his right hand excitedly: "Look! That's our rocket! ”

The smoke of the catfish rocket is not too thick because of the mixed propellant. However, the local air humidity is high, and the microparticles burning by the rocket quickly absorb a large number of water droplets, so in the eyes of many soldiers, it is like a burning meteorite dragging huge white smoke and smashing to the ground.

Not only the Soviet troops, but also the German troops who escaped by chance, as well as hundreds of Ukrainian puppet soldiers, witnessed this spectacular sight.

The rocket smashed to the ground, and then the ground shook violently, and a loud bang was heard in my ears!

The explosion blasted the earth to a full forty meters, shaking the ground and breaking trees. But because the rocket landed on the edge of the forest, it did not cause any casualties.

Because of the constant communication, the telegraph operator Diana clearly heard the explosion.

The female soldier twisted her neck vigilantly and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, I heard an explosion!" ”

"Quick! Ask Balzen, where is the location? ”

After twenty seconds of silence, Balzen, on the other side of the electromagnetic wave, personally reported: "I see that the landing point is about 500 meters southeast of the city limits!" ”

"Excellent! The owl is 500 meters back for the time being! I'll shoot ten shots! Do it now! ”

After Balzen's brief report, Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes and figured out how he should adjust the elevation angle, and after issuing an emergency order, it was the bombing that officially began.

The two rockets were each loaded into the launch rails, and after the trigger was pressed, the soldier pulled the rope and pulled the trigger.

In two huge roars, two "white dragons" rose from the ground.

For such rocket artillery with a maximum range of eight kilometers, shortening the firing range by 500 meters is no longer a simple fine-tuning. The elevation angle was raised by five degrees, and the rocket launcher flew towards the target with a higher parabola, and eventually, it would also smash into the ground with a near-vertical trajectory.

Balzen gave the order to evade, and his warriors retreated in high spirits. The area with a diameter of one kilometer in the central area of the Slavzich crossroads is a danger zone, not because the accuracy of the catfish rocket is not good, but because its power is really great. A heavy artillery shell can shatter the internal organs of a person in a 100-meter area near the center of the explosion, and the power of rocket artillery is even more powerful than that.

The initial velocity of the catfish rocket is only 40 meters per second, and its acceleration is exaggerated, and it will soon be able to fly up to 3,000 meters in the air at a high speed of up to 170 meters per second, and will dive at a high speed of 300 meters per second.

Two rockets dragged a huge white tail down from the sky, and it only took them half a minute to reach their target, and finally exploded tragically inside the city!

The explosion gave the city an earthquake, and the shock wave knocked down a large number of buildings that were not strong enough, and some concrete houses could still hold on, but the doors and windows had been shattered.

The bombardment had just begun, and after the explosion of these two rocket launchers, in just one minute, another wave of bombardment came! The smoke and dust rising from the city are still fierce, and a large number of alternative debris has just landed, and a new tragic explosion accompanied by the life-threatening white smoke has been killed!

Rocket artillery can guarantee one shot a minute, which is a very grinding speed according to the standards of rocket artillery, and if this is a heavy artillery, the rate is already very fast.

The artillery preparation was nothing more than a total of 10 rounds of rockets in just five minutes, and its lethality was not small.

Balzen and his men endured the tremors of the earth, and each wanted to stand at the edge of the forest and witness the spectacular bombardment. No one died, but they huddled against the tree, feeling the trembling of the earthquake and the knocking of the fallen branches, and covering their ears and mouths, so as not to hurt their ears and stun their heads.

The fighters of the Soviet army, Moise and his Ukrainian police battalion, are in hell.

Upon witnessing the sudden explosion, Moise reacted, and he could tell that it was a Soviet rocket strike. How can they have rocket artillery? Before he had time to figure it all out, he moved his command post to the basement.

At the same time, he also gave orders for the troops on the ground to withdraw into the cellar as much as possible, and if there was really nowhere to go, lie down in the tunnel.

It's a pity that Moise doesn't have any more time, and to make matters worse, the cellars that can be found are already crowded with citizens who have taken refuge, and the number of soldiers who can come in is very limited. Coupled with the command transmission obstacle, when a large number of rocket artillery smashed over, there was also a large number of Ukrainian puppet troops exposed.

Compared with artillery shells, rockets can be whistling early, and the majority of puppet soldiers still made some measures to avoid artillery.

They rushed to the sturdy concrete buildings, hiding as best they could in corners, under wooden tables and beds, and some soldiers hid in the foxholes they had dug earlier.

However, the bombardment of the rocket artillery was almost incomprehensible, and the foxhole they dug was still too shallow, and the soldiers in the pit were easily blown up by the blast waves, and the shock wave tore their bodies into pieces, even the guns in their hands! A large number of flying debris is mixed with human corpses! For these soldiers, what happened to them was indeed miserable, and for them themselves, there was no pain in the moment of death.

The cellar, which was originally used by the citizens to store their winter supplies, served as an air-raid shelter, and the people hiding in it were really miserable!

The narrow tunnel was crowded with people, and the violent explosion also squeezed the earth, and even the cellar was crushed, and everyone in it was buried alive! The lucky ones who did not die were also severely injured physically and mentally, some people fainted directly, and some soldiers were so violently stimulated that they went berserk, and the guns went off and hit their own people!

Compared to these soldiers, the situation of the battalion commander Moise is not much better.

He was disheartened, the violent explosion shattered the oil lamp, and in the darkness he lamented helplessly: "It's all over! It's all over! Today is my death, so flee for you, soldiers. ”

If you say you are fleeing, how can you escape? Many of these Ukrainian puppet soldiers are the former Soviet Red Army who defected, and they all know something about the Katyusha rocket artillery of the Soviet army, and what they know best is the combat mode of the Soviet army!

The devil knows how many enemies were ambushed on the outskirts of the city, in short, Slavzich was already surrounded!
