The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1087: Blood War IV

Chapter 1087 Bloody battle (4)

Tons of soil were thrown and rolled under the action of the huge explosive force. Some even blasted the entire trench completely away, burying a dozen soldiers and their weapons deeply in it, and if they were lucky, they could struggle to crawl out. Under the bombardment of the Russians, the entire forward position became completely unrecognizable.

But fortunately, the Russian artillery did not carry out effective extended shooting, or ignorance is terrible, even if there are a lot of good cards in hand, it is the Russians who still play badly. The shelling needs to be extended, and sometimes even a double-layer barrage is required to advance slowly, although it may not be possible technically now. However, it is still possible to rely on artillery to suppress the opponent's depth and use firepower instead of manpower to prevent the opponent's support. German artillery did this in the Fortress of Verdun.

And look at the Russians? Excessive pursuit of firepower density is the habit of the Russians. This cannot be said to be bad, but you must at least coordinate the range of the artillery? A large number of artillery did not enter the proper position, resulting in insufficient fire extension, and the target close by was naturally vigorous, but once extended backwards, the artillery that can be guaranteed to be enough is the train guns and cannons, and the position is too high. Disperse and cannot form a joint force. Coupled with the lack of effective means of observation and communication, it is really good to start bombarding surface positions, but once it extends? The effect immediately went down a few grades.

More importantly, the Germans seem to have not paid attention to anti-artillery operations. During the Russian fire preparation process, the German K09 long-range cannon and the captured Russian 107MM cannon relied on radio and aerial reconnaissance aircraft to lock a few A Russian artillery position pulled out a few teeth from the Russian artillery armed to the teeth!

After the extension of the artillery's firepower, hundreds of Russian soldiers launched the inherent Russian skill-the sea of ​​people assault. A team of soldiers rushed forward like a wave, three Russian assault groups launched an offensive, and this time the bloodiest scene on the battlefield finally opened!

In the circular position, the roar of hundreds of various machine guns and dozens of rapid-fire guns completely overwhelmed the howls of the Russian charge. The fire snakes spewed by the machine guns woven into a dense fire net, covering the entire battlefield. Among them, a stratified strike system was formed. A small number of machine guns carried out indirect firing at a distance of 1000 meters. Under the command of the commander, the shooter shot a round of bullets obliquely upwards, forming a dangerous arc. An elliptical drop zone is formed at a distance of meters away. This area directly enveloped part of the initial starting position of the Russian army. Although the killing effect was average, it was still effective in breaking up the Russian formation.

The actual fight between the two sides is about 600 meters away, and more than 60% of machine guns and more than 40% of rapid-fire guns set the scale at this distance. More than 20 rapid-fire gun groups continuously fired the artillery at a maximum rate of 12 rounds per minute. The flattened 3-inch rapid-fire gun knocked out the first round of the shell. When the cartridge case had just exited the barrel, the loader was the fastest Du stuffed a 75MM rapid-fire cannon shell into the barrel. A few seconds later, a shrapnel weighing nearly 8KG flew towards the target.

The flame frenzy composed of tens of thousands of bullets and hundreds of grenade shells and high-explosive shells per minute easily blocked the Russians' initial attack. After all, the flesh and blood of mankind could not stop steel. Groups of Russian troops were torn to pieces by violent firepower during the offensive, but there were still countless people rushing up. The entire battlefield was like the most compact instrument to complete its work step by step, and a swath of soldiers fell. On the way to charge, from the starting position to the front of the confrontation between the two armies, a road paved with blood and fire stretched.

The roar of large-caliber artillery came from the air again, and the Russian heavy artillery once again launched its power. Four new 8-inch cannons and two 10-inch guns joined the bombardment of the German positions, and a large number of 152MM howitzers and 122MM howitzers Pour tons of ammunition to the exposed firepower point. The 10-inch and 8-inch heavy guns are leisurely for the lethality of battleships, but when used to sweep the ground, the power is too terrifying. After a whole 6-gun artillery company was targeted, 32 The firing of 8-inch shells and eight 10-inch shells completely wiped the 300-meter-long defensive position with a depth of more than 200 meters from the battlefield, leaving only a small amount of debris and mutilated limbs. Tell people what happened here!

The Russians didn’t want to give their opponents a chance to breathe. When the bombardment was not over, the suppressed Russian soldiers rushed to the German defense line not far away under the threat of the officers. Armored Mike personally directed it, and the armored assault group that was originally not sent has finally launched a counterattack! From the side of the Russians, the roaring sound of engines that made all the enemies frightened came from not far away. More than 40 camouflaged chariots roared and smashed away from the obstacles in front, just like their predecessors. Rushing over, they used artillery, machine guns and even crawlers to crush all the enemies who dared to resist them directly!

The German counter-attack caught the Russians by surprise. The Russian offensive forces, which had only light weapons and at most mortar support, dumped themselves several grades in the face of this wave of equipment ~lightnovelpub.net~ More numbers of attacks immediately fell into The situation fell apart. In the wilderness, the bullets fired by the tank's machine guns and artillery at a distance of several hundred meters bloomed flowers of death in the dense Russian army formation. Together with the machine guns and artillery on the frontal blocking positions, they formed a staggered firepower net. In the face of the steel storm that was almost face to face, the Russians flinched! And the situation of this retreat war appeared a little loose!

"Fire and shoot, don't care about others, those cowards are not worthy of being Russian soldiers at all!" A Russian officer picked up his whip and forced his gun crew to fire at a distant target. There were a large number of Russian troops who had not yet withdrawn. Mixed with the German offensive forces. The Russian artillery group deployed at the forefront roared again, raindrops of artillery shells fell in the target area, and the Russian army was horrified to discover that the massacre after it came to itself was even more deadly than the German army. However, the German tanks, which the Russians really wanted to stop, relied on better protection to rampage through bullets.

Dense shrapnel and machine gun bullets hit the heavy armor plate of the tank like raindrops. The skirt plate added before the attack well protected the relatively fragile suspension system on the car body, but there were still unlucky tanks. The 122MM or 152MM artillery hit directly and was destroyed.
