Chapter 481: The German missile attack on the Soviets begins

The Soviet P-2 missile is more than 17 meters long, with a maximum diameter of more than 1.6 meters in the middle, a take-off weight of a little more than 20 tons, and an engine with liquid oxygen and alcohol as propellants, with a take-off thrust of more than 30 tons.

The guidance method adopts a hybrid guidance system of inertia and radio deviation correction, with four trapezoidal tails in the tail to maintain flight stability, and the maximum range of the missile is 600 km; It can carry a 1,300-kilogram high-explosive warhead, which is similar to the imitation Dongfeng-1 DF-1 missile.

And when Zhukov and the Chief of the General Staff Vasilevsky they had an operational meeting, the most noisy; Moder and the others have received 800 P-2 missiles dispatched by Chen Yanlong, and have also sent all the launchers and vehicles to the designated launch site.

When all the P-2 missiles and crew, as well as the equipment, were ready, Moder he began to order the P-2 missile group; Aiming at the positions of the Soviet troops in the Dniepo River and Zaporizhzhia and other areas, they are preparing to launch an attack.

"Report! Marshal Moder! Our missile swarms have been deployed and are ready to attack the Soviets at any moment! Please give instructions and orders! ”

When all the pre-war work for the P-2 missile was done, an operational staff officer hurried over to report.

"Hmmm! Are our aviation units ready to strike? ”

Modell replied as he looked at the battle map.

"It's all ready, as long as we wait for our missile group to be launched, we can immediately attack and deliver the most intensive blow to the Soviet positions!"

"The confidence of aviation is very great, especially their belief that the Soviet army, without psychological preparation, will be caught off guard if it encounters another surprise attack by our air force!"

"Because the Soviet air force has been fighting with us for several days and nights in a row! So they are now tired divisions, and they don't have much strength to show! ”

The operational staff officer continued to report.

"Good! Now tell Marshal Manstein's troops that when our aviation units have finished bombing, they will immediately cooperate with the attack of our tank groups and land forces and annihilate the Soviet Southwestern Front in one fell swoop! At the very least, it must be disabled! This is the marshal's order! We dispatched so many advanced weapons and equipment this time to annihilate one front of the Soviet army! ”

"Besides, you also call Chief of Staff John and Chief of Staff Everfeldt for me, and I'm going to discuss the battle with them!"

When Moder heard this, he immediately responded.

"Yes! Marshal Moder! ”

The combat staff officer nodded in agreement.

He then hurried to call the chief of operations staff, John, and the chief of staff, Everfeldt, to meet with Modell.

Afterwards, Moder also quickly held urgent talks with the chief of operational staff John, and discussed how to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Southwestern Front after the missile attack and the bombing of the aviation forces.

An hour later, all the P-2 missiles were ready for ground launch at their respective launch bases.

Due to the time constraints, the Germans only deployed less than 20 missile base launch sites on the front line; Therefore, each launch pad can only launch about 18 P-2 missiles at most.

Therefore, in order to increase the combat achievements and the intensity of the attack on the Soviet army, Chen Yanlong also dispatched more than 1,000 short-range surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missiles, that is, "Scud" missiles, to the front line of the Dniepo River for deployment and attack.

These "Scud-B" missiles are more than 11.0 meters long, about 0.9 meters in diameter, have a wingspan of more than 1.8 meters, a take-off weight of almost 6 tons, and a maximum speed of 1,500 meters per second.

It is somewhat easier to launch these missiles than P-2 missiles, since these missiles can be carried out using missile launch vehicles.

The "Scud-B" missile weapon system consists of two parts: missiles and ground equipment. The ground equipment mainly includes transport, erection and launch vehicles, as well as a large number of ground survey vehicles, command vehicles, power supply vehicles, propellant filling vehicles, etc.

However, the preparation time required for the launch of these Scud-B missiles is relatively long, and it can take an hour to prepare at the earliest.

Moreover, the Scud is a surface-to-surface missile modified from Iraq's SAM series of surface-to-air missiles, and its launch is not calculated by seconds, but by its deployment speed and the location of the enemy.

With the successful launch of 18 P-2 missiles and 40 vehicle-mounted "Scud-B" missiles, the missile launchers in the entire German army's missile launch pads, as well as Moder and other commanders, cheered excitedly and excitedly.

But it was a nightmare for the Soviet troops, especially the Soviet troops of the Southwestern Front.

"Ivanovic! What are those things coming from? ”

The soldiers of the Southwestern Front, one of whom was named Andreasha, who was patrolling the front-line positions, asked the squad leader beside him with a puzzled face.

"What's that? Where! Where are you talking about? ”

After listening, the squad leader Ivanovich looked around.

"Heavenly, heavenly!"

"Oops! They're about to reach us, run! ”

Soldier Andreosa suddenly screamed in horror.

"What! So scared! ”

"Oh! Oh my God! That's a missile! Missile attack of the Germans! ”

After the squad leader Ivanovic looked in the direction that the other party was looking at in horror, he also shouted in panic.

It's a pity that before they could escape, they were suddenly attacked by the P-2 missile group and the "Scud B" missile group that suddenly fell from the sky; The bombing became slag, and became dust scattered with the wind.
