Steel Soviet Union

A whole company of 12 vehicles fired a half-box salvo, and a total of 96 rounds of 310mm "TOS-1 Exclusive Edition" ammunition were fired out, densely falling on a field composed of several German permanent fortifications and bunkers of different sizes. In the fire support point, a pot of fragrant steel and concrete broth was stewed for the Germans.

When the smoke, dust and fire finally dissipated, the final impact was that the German permanent fortifications and bunker firepower groups of different sizes had been completely smashed into a mess.

Several smaller German bunkers have been completely shattered and reduced to pieces and powder. It is difficult to find a concrete block larger than a head from among them. It is envisaged that they can be completely immune to the 122 heirloom grenades of the Red Army heavy tanks. From the solid shell of the bombardment, only a pile of ruined concrete construction debris remains stuck in the soil, glaring and eye-catching.

Those that are slightly larger and have much stronger defenses and can accommodate heavy artillery fortifications have a slightly better outcome, but they are only limited to "some".

Although a larger body has stronger protective performance, at the same time, due to the larger projection area, it will encounter more rocket strikes and sustain more damage.

Without exception, all the large fortifications hit by the concentrated fire had their skylights opened, leaving huge holes in the outer concrete walls that were as terrifying as if a large piece of flesh had been dug out of a person's body.

This is just the situation where the large-scale fortification in better condition was hit. Although it was extremely miserable, at least it was barely able to hold on and did not fall down. It was not annihilated into a pile of construction debris and dust like other surrounding fortifications, while several other Large-scale fortifications were not so lucky.

Similar to the situation of those small bunkers, from the appearance, these large fortifications have been completely destroyed by the powerful 310mm heavy rockets fired in concentrated fire salvos.

The remaining portion of the collapsed outer wall of the steel-concrete structure that is still standing is a little higher than the small bunker. The broken ceiling that collapsed directly under the huge blasting power caused much more construction waste than the small bunker.

If we insist on talking about the difference, this is the most direct difference under the intuitive feeling, and there is nothing else.

To be honest, Malashenko was originally worried about what to do if the TOS-1's strike effect was not satisfactory and could not match the powerful firepower of the ISU-152\\A. Then where should I go to find more supporting firepower? Should this strong attack with heavy fire support continue? These are all annoying questions.

But now, it turns out that Malashenko was simply overthinking.

TOS-1 is not only able to complete the combat missions assigned to it by Malashenko and fulfill its mission, but its attack effect on these permanent fortifications that are as hard as steel turtle shells is unexpectedly better, even better than ISU-152\\ A's striking effect is even better.

ISU-152\\A may require more than a dozen vehicles, and it only takes about ten minutes to complete the job, which is already considered a good job.

When it comes to TOS-1, it doesn't take as long as inking. You can solve all the problems in just the time it takes to light up a cigarette, take a sip, and blow a puff of fairy air, eliminating the root cause once and for all without leaving any hidden dangers.

There is no sign of anything that can be called "alive" in the entire bombing coverage area. In the air that is filled with the smell of destruction and death, there is only the high-temperature and addictive hot air blowing in the face, and a gust of wind blows. You can feel "hot" on your face.

There is no doubt that this small highland firepower group that originally required dispatching enough troops and technical equipment to suppress the fire and then sending infantry to attack and capture it has been completely smashed, both from a practical perspective and from a military value perspective. Be summarized as "no longer exists".

Half a minute, just over half a minute from when those TOS-1s parked and took aim, to fired salvos, to when the rockets finally fell and exploded.

This place was originally a place where the Germans had high hopes, thinking that they would be able to hold back the Russians' permanent fortification firepower for long enough. However, without even touching the enemy's hair, it was completely blown up into the sky, leaving no one behind. All the surrounding German troops who relied on it for limited fire support and suppression were collectively unlucky.

War doesn't mean just facing the enemy directly and shooting at each other on the same level. It also means queuing up to shoot each other. Before shooting each other, you have to use artillery for one round, right?

Without this limited and only fire support, what else can the surrounding German infantry do? What other meaningful things can they do within a reasonable range to try to resist the Russian attack while trying not to die?

It's a question, a question worth thinking about, just like "To be or not to be, that is the question."

As for the current "shocked" German infantrymen who are either stunned or dumbfounded, whether they can still think of it and whether they have the free time to think about all this and find out the answer is another matter that is completely irrelevant.

This is neither important, nor does Malashenko care.

"This thing is so powerful. Why didn't you adjust it earlier? Did you have to wait until now?"

Not only was he "shocked for a whole year", but Lavrinenko, who was on the other end of the radio at this moment and witnessed this scene from another location and another angle on the battlefield, was also just "shocked".

The power of this thing was completely beyond imagination. Both Lavrinenko and Malashenko originally thought that if this thing did not hit directly, it might be difficult or completely impossible to kill the German bunkers. After all, there has never been a successful precedent in this kind of battlefield environment before. It is the first time to encounter this kind of battle, and there is no reference experience at all.

Facts have proved that the good brothers Malashenko and Lavrinenko were completely wrong. In the final analysis, they still underestimated the lethality of high-yield explosives in the real world, and underestimated the amount of explosives equivalent to 2 rounds of 152 The power of high-explosive grenades and "special ammunition" is close to that of a 100-kilogram aerial bomb.

"The firepower is not very sustainable, and it takes time to reload. This thing can only be used for emergencies. It is better to rely on it for the whole process."

Of course, Malashenko couldn't say, "Brother, I miscalculated. Damn I knew this thing was so effective." He could only give Lavrinenko a reasonable answer from a reality-based perspective. In short, first Dealing with the past, the unfinished battle in front of us is indeed more important.

There were three companies in the first battalion, and now they only fired half a volley from the whole company.

In other words, before the entire battalion runs out of ammunition and enters a resupply state and is temporarily withdrawn, the rocket assault battalion directly under the leadership division can still fire five more rounds of firepower projections like the one just now, and there are five more rounds. The opportunity to destroy the firepower group at the key defensive stronghold of the Krauts.

This is the most unfortunate news for the Germans, and it is also the greatest good news that the soldiers of the leading division can receive in the bloody battle.

The ISU-152\\A self-propelled artillery that had just been withdrawn has now begun to be reloaded nearby. With a distance of less than two kilometers from the advancing fire line, we risked the enemy's long-range firepower sneak attack that might come at any time. With the assistance of the ammunition supply troops who came to support from a dangerous distance, we quickly started to Vehicle-mounted ammunition supply and progress are rapid.

According to this progress, Malashenko is confident that his goal can be successfully achieved.

After ISU-152\\A is finished, replace it with TOS-1. After TOS-1 is finished, replace it with ISU-152\\A.

The continuous heavy fire support and alternating ammunition supply have formed a virtuous cycle. If the Germans no longer have anything to do, the only outcome will be certain death and a quick death.

If the Germans still have some trump cards in their hands, there is no doubt that now is the time to use them.
