Chapter 932: Terrible Speculation
A 406 mm naval gun, with one shot, can blow up an area the size of a basketball court, and now, a 600 mm caliber heavy gun will definitely not be less powerful than the 406 naval gun, although its speed is not very large, but its weight is quite strong.
In the huge explosion, the T-34 tank below, as if it was papier-mâché, was immediately blown away, and every small part that flew up with a huge speed turned into a huge amount of energy!
A wrench flew out like that, and when it flew to a low wall, it immediately collapsed the low wall! And the Soviet soldier, hiding behind the low wall, looked in horror at the flying dust, a wrench flew in, hit him in the chest, broke several of his ribs, and behind him, cut a large hole, and flew out again.
The wound was gushing with blood, and his body fell backwards weakly.
Then, a bigger wave of air hit, the low wall completely turned into foam, and his body also turned into minced meat, flying sideways!
This time the Soviets were unfortunate, in addition to the original two-ton shell, it also caused the ammunition in the tank to detonate, and the air wave generated by the explosion, with countless fragments, flew in all directions, with the explosion point as the center, the air wave expanded outward, and nothing survived wherever it went.
Any building has been destroyed, and every body has been shattered!
Because now it happens that the Soviets are attacking, and their formation is very dense, and the casualties caused this time will be even greater!
When the explosion was over, a field twice as large as a basketball court appeared, and the Soviets were able to open up the field of attack, and they could put in more troops in a tighter formation.
However, no one dared to attack.
In the air, there was a smell of flesh and blood, in the sky, minced flesh had fallen, and some would be a complete hand, in the center of this area, there was no longer a complete living person, and around this area, there were screams from soldiers who were on the verge of death.
The Soviet soldiers in the back were completely stunned, and some of the soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time turned pale and began to vomit in large gulps.
Where is this war, this is simply sending to death!
In terms of psychological effect, the blow of the Karl cannon is even better than that of the Gustav cannon, because the Gustav cannon hits the rear of the Soviets, and the artillery is relatively scattered.
And now, the infantry is in a dense formation, and this shell has fully reimbursed more than 200 people!
The Soviets no longer have the courage to continue attacking, but behind them, the Inspectors have already been deployed, and if they retreat, what they are waiting for is their own machine gun bullets!
At this moment on the battlefield, there was a sudden silence, time seemed to have stopped, forever frozen in this moment, and those frightened Soviets would never forget this scene.
The second shell is flying again!
……
"We can't let our lads bleed again, this time we underestimated the Germans, they were prepared, we can't win!" In the command of the new city of Brest, Pavlov spoke first.
Pavlov was not a coward, he fought in World War I, later joined the Soviets, graduated from the Frunze Military Academy and the Crash Course of the Military Technical Academy, and then served as a cavalry regiment commander, mechanized regiment commander and brigade commander.
During the tragic Spanish Civil War, Pavlov once went to Spain to fight as a tank brigade commander.
He was the commander of one of the first two tank regiments of the Red Army, and Zhukov was the commander of another. After returning home, he was also smooth sailing, wearing the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union and serving as the director of the armored corps of the Red Army's automobile tanks. Together with Zhukov, he was promoted to general, together with the commander of important military districts, Zhukov was in the Kiev Special Military District, Pavlov was in the Western Special Military District.
It's a pity that he rose too fast and didn't have the corresponding ability, and, after the Barbarossa plan, the German attack was too fierce, and those who came into contact with Germany in the early stage were cannon fodder, and Pavlov was unlucky, he was shot for dereliction of duty.
Now, Pavlov, as the commander of the Western Special Military District, faced with the tragic results of the bombardment of his troops by the Germans with heavy artillery, he absolutely could not afford it.
Although they had made sufficient preparations in advance, they did not expect that the Germans had been prepared even earlier, and they were afraid that they would not be able to win this battle.
The weapons of the Germans are quite terrifying, one artillery bombardment knocked out an artillery position, one shell killed hundreds of infantry, how could such an enemy be defeated!
"No, we can't retreat, we have to attack, Pavlov, you know what defeat means!" Khrushchev said.
If the offensive fails, and several of them, none of them have a good life, Stalin will be quite angry.
"Over the years, I have learned a truth, no matter how difficult the environment, don't give up!" Khrushchev continued.
"But my soldiers are bleeding, their sacrifices are in vain, it has been proven that we cannot storm the fortress, which the Germans have built into an impregnable wall!" Pavlov also came to his senses.
If you don't give up, the sacrifice of the soldier is a stepping stone on your political path, and now, Pavlov is not willing to let such a tragedy continue to repeat!
At every moment, a large number of warriors are being sacrificed, they are meaningless, it is impossible for them to storm the fortress!
In the plan, they were to take the fortress by surprise and attack violently, and before the German reinforcements arrived, take the fortress as a bargaining chip for political negotiations.
But now, the sneak attack has turned into a strong attack, and the Germans will mobilize more troops from the rear to hold the fortress, and even, even more terrifyingly, the Germans can even carry out a counteroffensive!
The woods to the north could not stop the Germans, think about how the Germans bypassed the Maginot Line when they attacked France, and their tank troops actually passed through the Ardennes Forest, which is impossible to act in common sense!
Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned pale, bad, not good!
"Pavlov, what's wrong with you?" Timoshenko asked.
"I wonder if the Germans have been prepared for a long time, and what they are doing now with the fortress is just to attract our attention, and they have a more terrible trick, such as sending a tank force from the forest to the north?"
Pavlov's words drew a burst of ridicule from Khrushchev: "How is that possible? It's a forest! ”
"Don't forget, Ardennes is also a forest!" Pavlov said: "Moreover, we are too close to the firefight, only three kilometers, and if they find German tanks, they will definitely rush over and surround us from behind!" ”
