M1910/34 152mm howitzer, is a kind of howitzer that the Soviet Union began to use during World War I, the Soviet military personnel, on the basis of this howitzer, improved the M1937 howitzer, this heavy howitzer, looks very powerful and spectacular.

The first thing you can see is its huge wide off-road tires, each tire looks like a monster, deep off-road patterns, and on top of it, the thick and long howitzer makes people feel awe-inspired.

God of War!

Now the howitzer units of the Soviets, ready to go, have marked all the firing elements and are waiting only for the final order.

This order did not come slowly.

Two hours after dawn, before nine o'clock, the order had already come down.

"High-explosive grenades, reload!" At each gun position, the squad leader of the artillery squad shouted loudly, waving a small flag in his hand: "Target No. 3, calibrated according to predetermined data." ”

Two loaders, carrying dozens of kilograms of shells, stuffed them into the chamber: "Loaded!" ”

"Shoot the Elements Calibration."

"Fire!"

The squad leader waved the small flag in his hand violently, and at the same time, the gunner pulled the gun rope fiercely.

"Boom!" The huge sound of the cannon shook everyone's ears to rumble, and when firing, except for the gunner who pulled the gun rope, the other gunners were almost half-squatting, covering their ears with their hands, even the squad leader was no exception.

This has nothing to do with courage, this large-caliber howitzer, when shooting, is so fierce!

At the muzzle, huge flames came out, and in the smoke of gunpowder, shells flew out at a speed of 655 meters per second.

The huge recoil force made the cannon body, which was more than seven tons, stiffly retreat half a meter, and the entire gun body flew up in vibration, the tires left the ground, and the shovel behind pierced deep into the dirt.

The entire position was shrouded in gunsmoke, and in the smoke, one after another 152-mm grenades flew over and flew towards the fortifications of the Brest Fortress!

The Soviets, the first to fire, they fired the first shot!

This kind of shells, with a maximum range of 17 kilometers, they thought they were the safest at the very rear of the entire position, and until now, no heavy artillery has been found in the Brest Fortress, but they do not know that they will die in the most heroic way.

Behind the Brest Fortress, Gustav cannons.

"High-explosive warheads, loaded! The firing range is 33 km! "More than 1,000 officers and soldiers, working closely together.

Usain Bolt stood outside in the open space, looking at his own cannon, on his first mission before launch, while Wolfgang was meticulously directing.

The 4.8-ton warhead is stuffed into the chamber by an automatic loading mechanism, followed by a propellant weighing eight tons.

Yes, this is the order of magnitude!

The 152-mm howitzer of the Soviets, in front of this behemoth, is pediatric!

Its shells are several meters long! This is still a high-explosive bomb, if it is an armor-piercing projectile, the weight of the warhead reaches a frightening 7.1 tons!

Its projectile pack, which is determined by its range, can hit a grenade up to 48 kilometers away when using the maximum charge!

Everything is going on in a tense and orderly manner, and time is passing little by little, and this cannon, just to reload, takes at least ten minutes!

During this time, the Brest Fortress was experiencing a stormy blow.

"No!"

At the top of the church, Major Zavrilov looked at the boiling smoke in the distance, it was his own howitzer position that was firing! It took more than twenty seconds for the cannonballs to fly here, and he just felt a wave of fear.

He is not afraid of death, he is just worried that as long as his own shells start firing, this conflict will have escalated, and the Germans, who are well prepared, must have various ways to deal with their own side!

At this time, at the top of the church, apart from Major Zavrilov and the beaten Akimchikin and others, there were only two Germans, who were seriously using their instruments to observe the opposite side, and at the same time using microphones, reporting to the rear.

When coming here, Akimchikin and others also understood Major Zavrilov's shout, you can't fight, the Germans are ready!

Look at the people, who are leisurely indicating the direction of their artillery! Your own howitzer positions will soon be covered by the opponent's artillery fire!

Artillery shoots, it looks chic, in fact, they are more dangerous, because their opponent is the opponent's artillery!

In this era, it is still mainly towed artillery, and they withdraw from the battle, but not so quickly, in front of a prepared opponent, it is easy to be covered by the opponent!

It's late, it's too late!

In the sky, there was the characteristic Doppler whistle of a cannonball piercing the sky, and when they opened their eyes, they looked at the cannonball, which had already flown over!

"Boom!" The shells hit the underside of the church, and on the third floor, the whole church was shaking, but the Germans continued to observe as if nothing had happened, and for them the shells were not terrible.

Moreover, the church shook a few times, and there was no other reaction, which shows that the entire church has been reinforced, and its own 152mm grenade may not cause much damage here!

As the first shell streaked by, the second, the third, one shell after another, flew towards the entire fortress, and everywhere there were explosions, and everywhere there was smoke rising.

Everything here, three kilometers away in the city of Novobrest, can be seen clearly, and when the telescope is lowered, Khrushchev is extremely excited: "This is what will happen to fooling our Soviets, Germans, tremble!" ”

At this time, the people present did not know that there were only five minutes left before they trembled.

The preparation of the Gustav cannon was still going on, and after the shells were loaded, the barrel began to slowly erect.

The power of this cannon is against the sky, but its operation is also extremely cumbersome.

"Wind speed, 3, air temperature, 6, propellant pack temperature, 12." An officer in charge of the field, constantly preparing the data.

It is not easy to hit a target for tens of kilometers, and its firing table contains a lot of data, for example, to accurately measure the temperature of the surrounding environment and measure the wind direction and speed in high ground, and it is also necessary to measure the temperature of each package of propellant!

This is a series of tedious processes, in general, the rate of fire of a large-caliber howitzer is one shot in a few minutes, and its rate of fire, it is 14 rounds a day!

That's a good speed for an 800 mm cannon. Its fastest rate of fire can reach 1 round in 15 minutes, but as a rule, the interval between two launches is much longer.

Now, after 14 minutes of preparation, finally, the elevation angle of the cannon was raised to the right height, and the bearing was fixed in advance.

"Shoot the elements of the calibration, verify that there are no mistakes, and request to fire." Wolfgang shouted loudly.

"Fire!" Bolt gave the order.

"Boom!" The whole earth trembled violently!
