Chapter 1162: Heavy Artillery Units Annihilated
Russia's heavy artillery units were already prepared when the tanks attacked the Seventh Army, and after the heavy tanks penetrated the defense line of the Seventh Army and completely defeated the Seventh Army, the entire tank unit was separated from the main force of the Russian army, which was a good time to attack.
The commander of the heavy artillery unit knew this very well, and immediately prepared to aim, before the tank was mixed with the Seventh Army, they only symbolically aimed, but did not fire, I thought that the characteristics of the tank were quite mastered, but when it was really aimed alone, it was found that it was very difficult, the speed of the tank was very fast, if it was just fast, it was just down, and the tank also changed its speed from time to time, so that they were very painful to aim, which was more than a minute, and not a single shell had been issued.
When the Russian army hesitated, in fact, the First Armored Division had already aimed at the heavy artillery unit, and the commander Wu Yunheng knew very well that it could pose a threat to his armored forces, and some of them were killed, and only more than 180 mm of artillery. Brusinov's corps, under the concentration of the army, concentrated 120 guns of more than 150 guns, of which 36 were 180 and 10 were 200 mm, these guns, if concentrated in the face of heavy tank attacks, had a certain effect, could penetrate the frontal armor, and other guns of more than 100 mm, if they hit the position, could also damage the tracks.
A tracked tank, the weakest point of the tracked tank, maybe a 70 mm, or even 100 mm gun, can make the track useless, after all, this thing cannot be equipped with armor. However, when the tank was designed, it was already considered, and the tracks were heavily wrapped in it with angles and protection. Even during the charge, the tank does not stay in the infantry cluster, for fear that the Russian infantry will react and attack the tracks with cluster grenades.
The location of the Russian heavy artillery unit, Wu Yunheng is very clear, in the radio. I have already obtained the data of the Air Force, and after scuttling through the Seventh Army, I did not choose to re-intersperse it back, it is for this reason that the tank did not reduce its speed and changed its direction, which seemed to be chasing and killing other parts of the Russian army, but in fact, it was in a roundabout direction. Rushed to the heavy artillery units.
More than 100 mm artillery has a very long firing range, and the largest heavy artillery in the heavy artillery unit, 200 mm, has a range far above the 120 mm smoothbore gun of a tank, but now the Russian army is on the march, and there is no way to quickly build a position, let alone open up the distance. The distance between the 7th Army and the heavy artillery units was 5 km, after the 7th Army had been cut through. The distance between the two sides was reduced to about 3 kilometers, which was already within the range of the 120-mm smoothbore gun, and it was the range at which the maximum power was exerted.
Tanks are moving targets, and even elite shooters will have a hard time hitting tank units running at speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour, or even faster. It's simply difficult, but the heavy artillery units can't move, and once they are deployed, they are fixed targets, and they are not equal to each other. And the aiming hesitation of the Russian gunners, even if it was only for a minute, lost the last chance.
There is an eye in the air, always staring at this heavy artillery unit, every move of the heavy artillery unit is very clear, this eye that the Russian army did not expect, became the final straw that determined the situation of this battle, the plane in the air clearly gave the underground tanks to guide the position of the heavy artillery unit, and next, it was the shooter's business.
The first armored division is an experimental force, at the beginning of its establishment, almost all of them are from the elite of the armed forces, different from the selection of special forces, the first armored division compared with the special forces, pay more attention to military literacy, such as gunners, before they have undergone rigorous training, the gunners of the armored corps, at least the elite gunners above the army, these gunners have gone through a selection, entered the armored division, and conducted a one-year training, with an average of more than 3,000 shells fired by each gunnerOn average, it is close to 10 rounds a day, so the accuracy of aiming at a fixed target is very high.
A simple electrical signal came from the radio, controlling the entire armored cluster, and when an armored cluster was ordered to be controlled in a unified manner to form a joint force, the power was quite terrifying. More than 200 heavy tanks, at the first time, together in a special direction, aimed at the heavy artillery camp 3 kilometers away, and according to the speed distance, when the final aiming and artillery operations began, the Russian army did not have the slightest defense, his heavy artillery units, did not realize that death had come, they were aiming at the armored troops, high-speed armored troops, not so easy to aim, in order to pursue the hit rate, most of them were hesitating, but a few guns were test-fired.
The sporadic test firing of a few guns, under the premise of the high-speed operation of the tank, could not touch any tank at all, the heavy tank cluster did not hesitate at all, quickly drove to the predetermined position, in the high-speed driving, ready to aim and shoot all the preparations, the tank gun in a slight turn, aimed at the heavy artillery unit, the muzzle of the sky pointed steadily in the same direction.
"Launch!" Wu Yunheng gave an order, and the radio wave sent its order to every tank, almost all heavy tanks, together with a roar, countless shells, like arrows from the string, flew to the heavy artillery camp, this is a high-explosive bomb carefully prepared in the northwest, only 120 mm caliber, but the charge is at least one-third higher than the ordinary 120 mm artillery, and the power has also increased a lot, more than 200 rounds, enough to cover most of the heavy artillery positions.
The whistling shells, in a few seconds, passed a distance of several kilometers, the heavy artillery commander heard a familiar voice, almost subconsciously looked in that direction, a few seconds, it was not enough for him to give any orders, there was only one thought in his mind, it turned out that the barrels on those monsters were not ornaments, he was a real artillery, when he faced the Seventh Army before, he did not send out all his strength at all, they only used ramming and machine guns, and did not use tank guns, They even thought it was a mess or something, not artillery, but in fact, they were wrong.
On the battlefield, all mistakes have to be paid for with blood and fire, and the same is true for the Russian army, where the heavy artillery units are directly covered by artillery. To be able to become a member of the strategic artillery, basically all are veterans, artillery is a technical branch, the technical requirements are much higher than the cannon fodder recruits, they all heard the sound of artillery fire, almost, the first time to dodge, but unfortunately the heavy tank unit has locked them, a hit rate of more than 90%, more than 200 tanks fired together, at least more than 200 shells, hit the position of the strategic artillery, suddenly the sound of explosions, gunsmoke everywhere, the power of 120 caliber high-explosive shells is undoubtedly displayed, The entire heavy artillery position was shrouded in fire and smoke.
One shell after another, hit the heavy artillery position, hit the Russian army crying wolf, because it was on the march, urgently built positions, the Russian army's strategic artillery, did not according to the conduct, strict requirements for the separation of ammunition and the classification and placement of shells, this time, suffered a big loss, at least 4 places where the shells were concentrated in the place of martyrdom, the whole position was more lively, their own high-explosive shells made them have nowhere to escape, and now the artillery that is detonated is even more without warning, they have nowhere to escape.
At the first time, the heavy artillery units suffered heavy losses, at least 2 percent of the force, lost in the first wave of the offensive, the Russian strategic artillery, which was already so miserable, thought that the nightmare was about to pass after the first round of artillery fire, but unfortunately the tank troops were still unwilling to let them go, and the continuous artillery fire was still attacking them.
For the tank, mobility is the key, the rate of fire of the gun is the same, the inside of the tank, the concentration of all the northwest about artillery technology, automatic reloading system, automatic homing, mobile aiming, these can greatly increase the rate of fire of the tank, under certain circumstances, can deal with the tank, only the tank, the tank must be able to move the target has rapid aiming and shooting, this effect, the future opponent did not enjoy, the Russian army first enjoyed, the speed of 5 rounds a minute, For 120 mm artillery, this is almost a limit of speed, although the current 120 mm guns are still just ordinary smoothbore guns, not a reinforced shell or a bottom emptying projectile, but in a minute, the density of 1000 rounds of artillery also suddenly made Russia's strategic artillery units fall into a sea of fire.
The change in the situation made Brusinov stunned, he had already raised the efficacy of these monsters enough, but these monsters still proved their power with real strength, it was only a few minutes, seeing that the strategic artillery was about to be powerful, but they were beaten into the sea of fire, looking at the strength of the martyrdom and explosion, it was obvious that it was impossible to recover. At this time, even if there is no convenient means of communication to contact the heavy artillery troops, just based on experience, it can be judged that the heavy artillery units are finished, and the heavy artillery units that are deployed, without protection, are covered by such dense artillery fire, and even cause a martyrdom, and those who can survive will not exceed one-tenth, as for the artillery, God knows how many can be left.
What to do, although there is only one strategic artillery unit in the million Russian army, and there is a strategic artillery smaller than this in the clusters on both wings, but how to get in touch, the monster has turned, and after devouring the entire Seventh Army, it has begun to gradually go deeper, and the Russian army on the front line has collapsed, and even the back is unstable, not to mention holding on for a morning, even if it is half an hour, it is difficult, do you want to swallow the bitter fruit again,. This time he was defeated faster and more completely than the last time, and if the tanks continued, the army of the central cluster would be almost finished. (To be continued.) )
