The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1356: Crush one

Chapter 1356

A total of 32 guns, called the siege ram, were deployed! Although the caliber is smaller, it provides a very flexible tool for tactical use because of its excellent mobility and moderate size.

If these artillery are concentrated at a shallow depth not far from the Russian position, then the 305MM and 350MM train guns modified with naval naval guns are deployed at a depth of 8 to 12 kilometers from the front. These artillery, along with a large number of K09 150MM cannons, K11 175MM cannons, and other long-range artillery, will be responsible for striking Russian targets in depth and isolating the attack area. The number of all heavy train guns of 12 inches and above is 24. The number of long-range cannons reached about 300.

In order to quickly kill the Russians in a short period of time, the entire Eastern Front Allied Army has assembled the most powerful attack artillery group in history! Perhaps the total number of artillery is less than the artillery of Prince Leopold on the Southern Front, but in terms of quality, it is several grades higher than the latter!

And now, after months of preparation, the largest assault cluster on the Eastern Front is finally about to show off! At the moment before the general offensive order was issued, the largest artillery groups on the German front began to make final calibration and preparations for the target. They first aimed at the remaining Russian long-range artillery in permanent bunkers.

"There are at least three 152MM heavy guns in the two artillery forts in the A45 area. They should be naval guns. They have a long range and have a wide range of fire. Therefore, they must be cleared from the beginning and handed over to the Dora group."

"There is a heavy mortar group in the A32 area. There should be two 254MM mortars in it, which directly blocked the way for our infantry to charge. This must also be dealt with and handed over to the two 12-inch train guns of the Bruno group. ."

"D36 gun group, this must be paid attention to, here is the Russian 254MM naval gun that has been dismantled! There are also at least two 8-inch naval guns, which are located relatively forward, which poses a great threat to our rear. Tell the Danze gun group, Let them use 420MM heavy artillery to erase this group of artillery from the map!"

With the end of the verification of the final attack target, when the sun rises again, the war to end the Russian Polish Military Region will finally come to a climax! When the Russians believed that the entire Eastern Front was incapable of launching a new offensive, on the northern front, which the Russians considered indispensable and also the safest, the German Army’s heavy hammer came behind the Russians’ foreheads. !

boom! When the super-heavy reinforced concrete armor-piercing projectile weighing 1020KG was sent into the sky by the 420MM heavy artillery like a meteor, the prelude to the entire attack kicked off with the sound of an earthquake-like shelling! The first wave of 4 rounds of 1020KG shells accurately landed in the bunkers of the D36 gun group, the area calibrated by the Germans.

Under the protection of the reinforced concrete layer with a thickness of about 1.8 meters at the top, two 254MML40 heavy artillery were extended from the heavy protection. They are the top Russian presence in this fortress group, responsible for the German army once the German attack starts. The task of suppression. So, no matter what they are, they will be the first nails that the Germans must remove!

According to the Russians' philosophy, they believe that apart from being blasted in close combat, their fortresses are almost impossible to be destroyed. If they attack directly, they must first gnaw at other sub-forts. If you want to go round, you must first cross the mountains and woods. In addition, after they saw a sufficiently thick horizontal defense, the Russians had great trust in this fortress area guarded by 2 254MML40 heavy artillery, 4 203MM heavy artillery, and a large number of 3-inch rapid-fire guns!

However, history has proved that in the battle on the Eastern Front, the script will never be written according to the Russian settings. At the very beginning of the war, this fortress group called Antai, who had high hopes placed on it by the Germans, was first destroyed!

The overweight shell with a caliber of 420MM slammed straight into the target like a Thor's hammer, and the first shell exploded above a warehouse. The shells penetrated 2 meters of soil and half a meter of reinforced concrete like a hammer smashing an egg, and then penetrated the ceiling of at least two floors of buildings, detonating hundreds of kilograms of explosives in the bomb at the deepest part of the Russian fortress. !

After a while, the earthquake-like vibration spread to the surrounding area from the shot area. Looking down from the air, a huge pit suddenly appeared on the ground. It is said that a hundred tons of stones and soil were thrown up by a series of explosions, and the entire ground seemed to be alive. Pieces of land collapsed amidst successive explosions, and thick smoke and firelight spewed from the collapsed ground. Out.

"God, I feel we have caused an earthquake." An airship cruising in the sky recorded the scene like this. According to the records of the Russians, this warehouse stores spare generator sets and gasoline...

This attack definitely not only caused the Russians to lose some of their reserves of electricity, but the extremely volatile gasoline spread in the tunnel. These oil and gas molecules form a deadly sol with the air, which can be ignited by a small amount of flame. They spread to the surroundings along the tunnel, many cabins heard inexplicable explosions, and many Russian soldiers were killed in the exhaust gas after combustion.

The entire Antai artillery group did not survive for too long. The eighth shot directly hit the top bunker of a 254MM artillery ~lightnovelpub.net~ This shell was almost under a 60-degree corner, and a heavy warhead struck out a concrete layer at the top of the bunker. A hole with a diameter of about 1 meter and a depth of more than 2 meters! This shell successfully penetrated the protective wall of the bunker and smashed heavily on the heavy artillery. Although the fuze was broken and not triggered, the violent collision still smashed the artillery!

If it is slowly cleaned up at this rate, the Germans believe that it will take about 2 hours to kill the biggest obstacle. (No way, the rate of fire of the 420MM heavy artillery is too slow, one round in 15 minutes!) However, a just right hit directly solves the problem. It may be a 420MM heavy artillery shell, or it may be a 350MM train fired by another artillery group. Cannonballs, no matter what, this cannonball just hit the top of the ammunition depot in this fortress!

"I think. We must have hit something amazing with this cannon!" In the daytime, even more than ten kilometers away, the consequences of this cannon hit can be seen. The dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the air. Then the loud noise like a tsunami spread to the surroundings. The huge air currents generated after the violent explosion even made a twin-engine aircraft reconnaissance over the Russian fortress almost be dragged down alive!
