Chapter 1052: Lviv ground meat

Chapter 1052 Lviv Meat Grinder 1

Just as the prince began to lay out a counterattack, and the entire Allied Army in eastern Galicia was preparing for a wave of big moves, the Russian Eighth Army was still gnawing at the Lviv Fortress with the help of heavy artillery and bombers! The strength of the entire group army is contained in this fortress area that stretches for more than ten kilometers!

"Damn it, I haven't seen a sunny day in the war zone since the war started!" Colonel Paplov looked out of the bunker to the distant battlefield. The roar of artillery rang out from the battlefield tens of kilometers around. Pillars of smoke rose on the ground, and gun smoke and flames obscured the sky. Even at noon, you don't even want to see a full sun at the bunker's lookout. Gray, black, or any other color of dust is floating and falling. You can't tell what these things are originally. They are all products after being blown into powder by artillery and then dried by flames! They fall on the ground even finer than the finest flour. In some places, if you step out, this "by-product" of human war can get you half-legged!

However, even so, the war will continue. How long has it been fighting now? But it's normal to not be able to fight for 8 days! For the Russian army, which is famous for its large population, what they are least afraid of is to fight a war of attrition, at least in their opinion, not to mention that they have made some breakthroughs?

"Today, the first wave of commandos is ready. When will we leave?" a staff officer asked.

"Wait for one hour after the shelling is over here!" The colonel looked at the numb faces of the soldiers huddled in the trenches, and his heart moved with compassion.

"This conflicts with the command of the command." A subordinate said.

"Don't worry about those lords! They are totally guessing! Do you know? When our heavy artillery support starts, the Austrian artillery will also send shells to us! They don't care whether we launch an attack or not, their mission Just go over here again with cannonballs! Everyone, even if you are a god, don’t even cross the distance of less than 1,200 meters to enter the garrison zone in this situation! It’s absolutely impossible! I saw it with my own eyes, a black The point drops, and then people within a range of nearly a hundred meters are evaporated! A few seconds, three-digit people, that's it!"

It seems to be to confirm what the colonel said. At the other end, a group of Russian soldiers rushed out of the trench under the cover of artillery fire. They began to deploy their troops according to the code of practice. Each battalion had a wave, two battalions advanced in steps, and one battalion prepared. , They shuttled between the crater and the ruined walls, advancing in the smoke and flames. These people who can be the first wave of attacks are almost the most elite presence in the Russian army! They are strong, aggressive, and loyal to the empire, but are they useful? !

When the raindrops of cannonballs fell, when in the field of vision, these personnel were torn to pieces by the violent shock waves and shrapnel, and when they were transformed into dust into the world, the **** of war used actual actions to speed them at high speed. use!

boom! A loud and earth-shattering noise came through from a distance, even though they were a few hundred meters apart, and in the bunker, Colonel Paplov felt a wave of shaking! Then, an invisible shock wave and air wave came from a distance, even in the bunker, he could feel his lungs as if being squeezed by something!

An 800KG reinforced concrete armor-piercing projectile fired by an Austro-Hungarian 400MM fortress gun crossed a distance of 12 kilometers and finally hit this exposed starting position! If this armor-piercing projectile hits the horizontal armor of the battleship, it is estimated that no ship can withstand such a fatal blow! This shell hit here with a 45-degree angle of impact. After the round and blunt body easily ripped the soil layer and a layer of logs less than half a meter from the top of the bunker, nearly a hundred kilograms of explosives directly blasted the bunker and its surroundings. Destroyed the traffic trenches and shelters!

This shell left a huge crater on the ground with a diameter of nearly 80 meters and a depth of more than 7 meters. Of course, this is not only the power of this shell, but also the detonated ammunition.

"Well, just as you said, in an hour, I will let them pass." The staff next to him was relieved from panic after a long while, and said tremblingly.

"Poor children, maybe they have only a few hours left. Maybe they can't even see the enemy before they die." Colonel Paplov showed a trace of pity in his eyes.

Colonel Paplov’s task was not to direct the offensive, but to find ways to transport the troops behind to the front. And in this process from the "safer area" through the blockade and into the front line, at least ordinary people Will be eliminated by the opponent's artillery! Your ability to pass is not based on your own level or luck, but on whether your opponent has noticed you!

That's right, that's it. According to his observations over the past few days, his long-range fire cover is actually useless! Because the remaining artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Army is either in a sturdy bunker that cannot be destroyed even with a 12-inch railway gun, or in a place you can’t hit, even with the longest range 10-inch gun! (The elevation angle of the 10-inch gun is greater.)

what? You said to use artillery to suppress opponents? Use smoke to block the view? What do you think? What people use is covering blows~www.wuxiaspot.com~ No need to aim at all, just a few hundred meters wide, but a breakthrough that is only a little more than 1 kilometer in length, and aim for a hairy! Just cover it directly! Don't think that you can avoid this disaster by hiding behind a bunker! The outer soil layer after nearly half a meter is soft! It was the result of repeated bombardment by heavy artillery!

And even if these people were lucky enough to cross this area, they just extended the time of death a little bit. Papulov couldn’t see how the front line was fighting, but it is said that a strengthening company 280 rushed past the first day. People, only 20 people are left after a day of fighting! As for the next few days? Sorry, it has been a long time since he received the news from the front line...

At this time, the soldiers who had arrived at the front line were fighting on the quagmire battlefield between the ruins and trenches, struggling in the flying shrapnel and poisonous air. They are not fighting, they are more like a cruel survival, because until now, they don’t know how to completely defeat their opponents. They just fight numbly. They shoot a few shots when they see the enemy, and then they rush forward desperately. Throw a few grenades or hit a few shots with a gun in a dark tunnel. However, this is the best egg!
