Chapter 1678 The 500-kilogram hell invitation
The Figure 2 bombers in the rear, not far from the front line, had already taken off from the field airport. Malashenko, who had assembled the troops, had also given the order to set off, heading straight towards the German third defensive position, which was close at hand. .
"The division's artillery is in place and deployed, ready to provide artillery support at any time! How is the situation over there?"
Political Commissar Petrov, who was commanding the division, held a radio transmitter in his hand and communicated directly with Malashenko. Malashenko, who had a tank cap on his head and half of his body leaning out of the turret, was everywhere. The tanks roared and roared, kicking up dust and rushing forward. If they wanted to reply to the political commissar comrades, they had to shout at the top of their lungs.
"It is estimated that we will be in contact with the enemy and enter the fighting distance in five minutes. We can already see the German position through the telescope! These bastards saw us from a long way away and are manipulating those broken anti-tank guns. Where is our air support?" "
Buzz - woo -
Before the Comrade Political Commissar on the other end of the radio had time to reply, Malashenko had already heard the roar of engines in the sky behind him. Even the roar of a tank cluster that was more powerful than thousands of galloping troops could be heard. Still heard very clearly.
"It's pretty fast, they're coming!"
Holding the radio transmitter in hand, he turned around in the direction of the sound. Malashenko, who was standing outside the turret, immediately saw a large black spot on the horizon above his head, flying rapidly towards the battlefield airspace. : It is the support of the tactical bombers of the brigade Figure 2 that I need most at this moment.
After confirming the arrival of his own air strike, he once again brought the radio transmitter to his mouth and pressed the button. The final moment Malashenko was looking forward to was now.
"The division's artillery fires immediately! Indicate the coordinates of the air strike to the bombers! Hurry!"
Boom boom boom——
Boo hoo hoo——
The divisional artillery unit owned by Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division is not very strong. One battalion of ISU-152 self-propelled artillery and one battalion of Katyusha rocket launchers are the complete configuration. This is in order to pursue high mobility and abandon the sacrifice of firepower of all towed artillery. Although the intensity of artillery fire is far less powerful than that of ordinary heavy artillery clusters, it still has the power of destruction in a short period of time.
With the command, a barrage of heavy artillery and a hail of rockets instantly rose from the ground and shot straight into the sky.
The German defenders on the position who also saw the coming air attack were busy manipulating anti-aircraft guns and preparing to meet the enemy. But they never expected that the screams that broke through the sky would be stronger and approaching more and more quickly. They would arrive before the air strike and hit the top of their heads quickly, leaving almost no time to react.
Boom-boom-boom-
It was like a ladle of cold water poured directly into a smoking pan of oil and exploded instantly.
The originally crowded German position turned into a boiling sea of fire in the next second. The firepower of an entire battalion of Katyusha rocket launchers that used up all their ammunition at once was overwhelming.
Hundreds of overwhelming 132mm Katyusha rockets basically hit the top of the German army's head in about ten seconds. The huge destructive power burst out in a short period of time was visible even from a distance in the air. Very clear.
"That's it! The Germans' third defensive position, that's where Katyusha is firing! Now there's bombing guidance!"
Malashenko's expectation received a realistic response. The leading aircraft at the forefront of the cluster immediately discovered the boiling flames caused by the bombardment. The scene where little flames, smoke and clouds gather together and large tracts rise from the ground is very eye-catching even from the sky.
The leading aircraft with its nose tilted was the first to open its belly bomb bay and dive towards the enemy position. As an excellent front-line tactical bomber, the Figure 2 can do both horizontal and dive bombing. Now that battlefield conditions allow lower flight altitudes and higher-precision dive bombing, there is no need to risk horizontal bombing with the bomb still deflected and being blown askew by the wind.
The anti-aircraft firepower expected to be encountered in the position is not a problem at all now. As far as the steel and flames are boiling on the German position, those unobstructed anti-aircraft guns will not be blown into the sky even if they are not blown up. Opportunity to fire.
Which desperate German would dare to brave such an overwhelming barrage of heavy artillery shells and rockets to operate an anti-aircraft gun? Even if you are tired of living, you will not bring yourself to seek death like this.
The German defenders who were shrouded in artillery barrages and blown to pieces really well explained what "good fortune never comes in pairs, misfortunes never come alone".
As soon as the brief bombardment that swept across the sky came to an end, the roaring gods of death from the sky flew overhead with invitations from the god of death weighing 500 kilograms one after another.
"Bomber! Russian bomber, take cover!"
"Damn it! Don't worry about the anti-aircraft guns, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"The bombholes have collapsed! Where should we hide?"
"Careful! The bomb is being dropped!!!"
boom--
During World War II, the Soviet aviation force's aerial bomb charges were very even. A 500-kilogram iron bomb contained exactly 250 kilograms of warhead charge, which was enough to destroy most high-defense targets, including tanks and solid fortifications. And it is a proper large-scale AOE damage.
If you use this thing to blow up an infantry defense position that has almost no ups and downs, terrain cover, and is just a simple civil fortification, the powerful destructive power this thing can bring is undoubtedly a level of destruction.
The 12 Figure 2S bombers roaring down will carry iron bombs mounted in the wing roots and belly bomb bays, aiming at the German soldiers and large high-value technical weapons that are visible to the naked eye and running away on the ground. , quite accurate.
When a 500-kilogram iron bomb hits the ground, there is a mighty earthquake. The 250-kilogram charge is completely unmatched by the heavy artillery shells of the field artillery unit. A mere few kilograms of projectile warhead charge versus a 250-kilogram aerial bomb warhead charge can cause a movement that is completely underground or in the sky, not in the same dimension. ,
Black rising mushroom clouds of aerial bombs rose up one after another from the German positions, releasing astonishing destructive power. Countless people were killed by the bombs as they fled in all directions and had nowhere to hide. In the face of 500-kilogram aerial bombs, weak bunkers like trenches are completely useless. Even if they are dozens of meters away, they can cover you in the trenches and shock you to death.
If you are close to the explosion center and there is no bunker to use, then sorry, you are not even worthy of the high-end VIP treatment of being shocked to death by the shock wave. Being instantly evaporated by the steaming flames of death until there is no residue left is the only outcome.
He could even see Malashenko, who was holding a telescope and half of his head still exposed outside the turret, and was watching the "Western View" with relish.
Even some fragments of human tissue and fragments of missing arms and legs were thrown far away by the astonishing shock wave of the aerial bomb explosion, along with various weapons, metal fragments, and flying clods of soil. If they were closer, It is probably not an exaggeration to say that the sky is like minced meat.
