Steel Soviet Union

When the huge TOS-1s began to stand on the ground and spray out blazing orange-red flames, the flames violently shot out from the tail of the launch box, even the surrounding grass that had been blown to pieces could instantly The fire was ignited, and the shock wave when the heavy rocket was launched was even more powerful. It quickly ignited a large raging fire and enveloped these TOS-1s.

"Our tanks were scorched by the fire, and the ignited grass kept burning around our tanks. But we had no time to care about this. Our mission was to pour even greater fury on the enemy's heads and fight for the comrades on the front line. The fiercest artillery support made the Fascists know that all their resistance would be in vain."

Many years later, a Guards veteran who participated in this battle was interviewed. He recalled that the scene was still fresh in his mind.

The roaring heavy rockets dragged their orange-red tail flames straight into the sky. The TOS-1's limited range determined that even if it carried out artillery strikes at a relatively close distance, it still had to shoot parabolic trajectories instead of traditional ones. The direct-aiming ballistics of the barrel artillery can hit the target more accurately.

Those large-caliber rockets that flew far less quickly than artillery shells gave the Germans the opportunity: the last chance to witness their own death before their bodies were destroyed and their souls dissipated.

When those who witnessed the rockets roaring all over the sky like heavy rain came, if they wanted to take a step and run away, it would be too late.

Boom boom boom boom——

Huge explosions came one after another, and the gathered fire and flames exploded into pieces in just an instant, one after another.

Different from those ISU-152\\A with strong armor and powerful guns, TOS-1's land bombing strike mode is completely different.

If the ISU-152\\A emphasizes the single-shot strike accuracy and comprehensive damage efficiency of close range shooting, it still removes the German fortification bunkers one by one.

Then the attack method of TOS-1 is a large-scale coverage strike that does not focus on the point at all, but only on the surface.

The 310mm heavy rockets fell concentratedly in the targeted area and exploded continuously. An area of ​​only a few hundred square meters was continuously bombarded by a total of 96 Andryusha rockets.

It is worth mentioning that the ammunition launched this time was not the directly transplanted universal version of the Andlyusa rocket normally used, but a specialized and improved version with a reduced fuel section and increased warhead charge. "TOS-1 special ammunition".

From a design perspective, TOS-1 itself is a medium-range firepower heavy support vehicle that fills the gap between long-range howitzers and close-in direct-aiming support firepower in the combat range.

Therefore, the original transplanted universal version of the 310mm Andryusha rocket sometimes has "excessive range". The ideal combat zone that TOS-1 is responsible for does not require such a long range, and only needs to be within the direct visual range. The range is enough to send 16 rounds of heavy ammunition to the top of the Kraut's head.

Therefore, the idea of ​​"increasing warhead charges in the fuel reduction section" proposed by Kojing is very reasonable. It is an adaptive improvement based on actual needs and battlefield conditions, and can indeed enhance the combat efficiency of TOS-1.

Those heavy-duty rockets that have been specially improved have the same body and diameter, but 35% more warhead charge is stuffed in the fuel segment space vacated after removal, increasing the total warhead charge to It is a terrifying level that any field artilleryman, not even the 203 Stalin Hammer, can match: a full 8 kilograms, close to the 100 kilograms of aerial bombs, equivalent to more than 6 rounds of 152 high-explosive grenade.

This kind of ammunition, not only to kill them all, but at least to the extent of destroying corpses and eliminating traces, is indeed the case for those German sticks.

The specialized and improved ammunition with a warhead charge of 8 kilograms does not even need to hit the target directly. It just hits a few meters away from the German bunker in a near-missile manner.

The terrifying flames and technological shock waves that burst out in an instant can also destroy the outer wall of the fortification in an instant that the naked eye cannot react at all, destroying the entire shell of the bunker instantly like "a tornado destroying a parking lot", swept by the blast wind. I was blown away to pieces, and my whole body was ripped open.

Many German soldiers who survived the battle felt that the Russian steel behemoths carrying 152 howitzers on their shoulders were already very scary. Every time they roared and fired, they would destroy any target they hit, no matter if it was human. , vehicles, tanks, or reinforced concrete structures with permanent defenses reinforced with steel plates.

But now, this kind of destructive weapon, whose single-shot ammunition is six times more powerful than the 152mm grenade, has once again subverted and refreshed the perceptions of all German soldiers on the battlefield who have witnessed this scene with their own eyes and are still alive.

The huge rockets were like opening cans, destroying one's own defenses one by one. Any ordinary defenses that were hit directly or affected at close range would not be able to escape death.

The rocket that hit the top of the bunker was like hitting a fruit can with a demolition sledgehammer. With your arms rounded and gravity potential, you hit it hard. Not to mention opening the can, even the fruit inside the can had to be opened. It was smashed to pieces, and the ground was covered with paste.

The fate faced by the German bunkers was similar. The specially modified rockets that exploded on the top of the Tianling cover could not only break through the roof with embedded steel plates, but the remaining explosive energy could continue to flow towards the top of the bunker in a majestic torrent. It pours down and vertically, and sweeps away everything in it in the next second, destroying anything it touches, whether it is people or objects.

Rather than being shot dead on the spot, it would be better to say that this weapon of "humane destruction" evaporated on the spot, leaving no trace.

After the roar of the huge explosion, only the remains of the bunker that were broken into small pieces or even powder remained in place, and a few twisted and hot steel bars that had been broken into small pieces could be found.

As for humans, flesh and blood

There is no trace of human beings or flesh and blood anywhere in this place. The terrifying power that can blow the military-standard concrete into powder has already wiped out all the living things in the bunker at a close range. Nothing left. Who knows whether the one or two pieces of meat that may be found are a hundred meters away or two hundred meters away, and in what direction.

"If you refuse to surrender in front of the leader, you will be humanely destroyed by TOS-1 and enjoy a one-stop battlefield funeral service from death on the spot to instant crushing and cremation. This is the ultimate mercy that the Red Army can give you under the iron fist. "

Malashenko did indeed say this to the Germans in a certain attempt to persuade him to surrender.
