Chapter 1070 Counterattack 2
"You are finally out!" In the last 200 meters, the Russian Makosin machine guns finally fired, but within a few minutes of firing, they started to misfire one after another. It was not because their own firepower was too strong, but because the opponent seemed to Ammunition is very problematic…. In this case, the Russians can only make a last resort!
Groups of Russian soldiers rushed out of the camp shouting "Ula". Some of them didn't even have a Mosin-Nagant rifle. This surprised the second lieutenant who was originally preparing for a fierce battle.
"When did the Russian army degenerate to this level?" However, this does not prevent the second lieutenant's men from efficiently harvesting the lives of their opponents. A dense fire net composed of 6 MG machine guns, dozens of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns will rush up. The Russians were mopped down in waves. From the beginning to the end of the battle, for 45 minutes, the Viking assault group defeated a regiment of Russian troops, but they did not notice a single artillery shell fired by the opponent!
"It seems that the Russians are really doomed." Looking at the messy battlefield and the few lines of the seizure list, the second lieutenant sighed. In addition to a bunch of Mosin Nagants, the most popular Russians, not even a complete machine gun was captured. There are two artillery pieces, but the number of cannonballs is zero! The second lieutenant had fought on both the east and west fronts and thought he was well-informed, but this was the first time he had seen such a poor unit!
At the same time, more than a dozen assault groups were constantly encroaching on the flanks of the Russian Seventh Army. The infantry units on the periphery were quickly eaten up by the tidal wave of attacks, and could not even make waves. The combat effectiveness displayed by the entire Russian Seventh Army is not at the same level as the troops that penetrated the Austro-Hungarian defense line before!
The situation of the Russians is indeed very bad. The previous attacks have exhausted the Seventh Army. Now, the transportation to the rear has almost been cut off. The largest transfer station has been bombed into a mess. It is expected that it will take at least 2 weeks to recover. ..... Obviously there is no hope. Without railway transportation, even under normal circumstances, the Russians' road transportation is only about 20% of the total, which is the distance from the terminal depot to the front line. Now, can the situation be normal? Do you really think those K-4 bombers don't exist?
However, in fact, although the Russian Seventh Army has reached the end of its strength, it still has a few pounds of iron to break the pot. If you tidy it up, a group army-level unit with more than ten divisions can still get something out of it. When the clouds of German attack began to hang over the battlefield, some Russian troops had already consciously begun to unite.
Major General Arkady, who has been fighting from the beginning of the battle to the present, has led his people to join other troops. According to the plan, this elite force should be the first to retreat. But now, it seems, I can’t leave? ! Just half an hour ago, intelligence sent by investigators showed that a powerful German army was rapidly approaching in their direction.
"I don't know now,
How many percent of the Russian assault divisions still have combat effectiveness? To be honest, their organization is very unique, but in terms of equipment? The technical level may not be high, but it is really useful. Whether it is a 107MM self-propelled cannon or a 122MM howitzer. After this battle, I will advise the prince to equip himself with these weapons. "
Lieutenant General Schmidt has long been eyeing the few remaining fast divisions in Russia. But this time, Arkady of the 4th Assault Division actually merged with several scattered artillery units. In this way, Lieutenant General Schmidt had even more reasons to let his elite troops take action. He was not afraid of being dissatisfied and united, so he I'm afraid you won't sign up for the group and will disperse and evacuate! This is the most troublesome thing. At the same level as the army, who is the Bavarian Army afraid of?
The infantry units of the three divisions deployed frontally have been split up, but a large number of 105MM howitzers, 150MM howitzers, and cannons of medium caliber and above are still in hand! Coupled with armored units drawn from other units and infantry units tasked with mobile support, it would be very easy for Schmidt to come up with a division-sized assault force, and even with four other Bavarian and Bohemian The teacher doesn’t even need to move! But this time, unfortunately, Major General Arkadi bumped into him!
Look at the smoke that has covered half of the sky in the distance, and then listen to the faint roar of the engine. Major General Arkady felt a little guilty! This is when we meet the real master, the real Bavarian main force! "I suggest that the artillery should be withdrawn first. We must at least ensure that we are not covered by the opponent's heavy artillery, right?" Arkady said to the person in charge of the artillery, looking at the almost uncovered artillery position on his own side.
However, all this has become a fantasy. The maximum range of the K09 150MM cannon is nearly 20 kilometers! At this time, before the front-line troops were in place, these artillery pieces weighing nearly ten tons had already leaked out their sharp fangs. Under the traction of half-tracks, the 150MM cannon group entered a position 12 kilometers away from the battlefield. The huge bipedal gun mount was deployed, and the gun barrel about 7 meters long was raised high. The artillery correction aircraft sent in advance had already flown over the target area. Before the official attack began, the roar of the heavy artillery had already been heard. battlefield!
Pillars of smoke more than 20 meters high instantly enveloped several Russian artillery positions. These artillery pieces that had just been deployed and were still waiting to fire, or were preparing to move but had not yet run away, were completely suppressed by the unequal artillery that far exceeded our own range. There is no such thing as precise strikes in this era. The only thing artillery suppression can do is to use area fire to completely cover the position that the artillery blasted!
According to German research, it would take about 100 to 150 rounds of 150MM shells to kill a deployed 4-gun 75MM rapid-fire artillery battery. In the face of cold calculation and steel, as long as enough artillery shells are thrown out, then the opponent is certain to be finished. This is the so-called probability. As for how many artillery shells can clean different targets on a flat ground, the German artillery is very clear!
"Get ready to fight. I hope the opponent doesn't have too many tanks this time." At this time, Arkady has no time to care about the artillery. When the opponent has aerial reconnaissance and you are definitely out of reach, these artillery should be regarded as It's aggro, not to mention that it's useless for you to care. Instead of doing this, it's better to temporarily defeat your opponent in a head-on confrontation.
Although large-caliber long-range cannons are NB, they are rare in the entire artillery system. The most numerous are various howitzers with a range of about 10 kilometers. If you want to hit the German long-range artillery, you can fight it. You can't control it anyway...
