Chapter 1279: The Big Bomb That Brought the Earthquake (Added 1)
He could only see one bright spot: when the warhead of the ballistic missile came down, it already had a speed of more than Mach 10, and the current medium-range missile fell at a speed of more than Mach 15.
Now, it is not only Hans and his people who are observing this missile, but also the army in the city of Osad, as well as reconnaissance planes in the sky.
This reconnaissance plane is specially designed to observe the impact point of the warhead and determine the error range of the warhead, and the reconnaissance plane is using optical equipment to record the flight of the warhead.
Its point of impact is the semi-circular square in the center of Osad.
This is the landmark of Osad, and from this semicircular square, there are 192 steps leading to the sea, with a total of 192 steps and a width of 30 meters, which was named to commemorate the Potemkin warship uprising in 1905.
In peacetime, the citizens of Ozad often walk on this step, there are couples, couples with children, and old people looking up at the sky, quiet and peaceful.
Now, it was deserted, and when Ozad faced the Romanians, there was no longer the peace it once was.
Only in one corner of the square, there were anti-aircraft guns that were added up, and they were designed to defend their city and fight enemy bombers.
Now, the anti-aircraft gunners looked at the sky in amazement, the terrible warhead, almost vertically, although it had not yet reached the front, the warhead because of the high-speed movement, compressed the air in front of it, forming a terrible sonic boom, forming a sharp cone-shaped sonic boom cloud at the front of the warhead, and at the same time, the sound of being compressed was also violently transmitted.
"Bang!" The sound was incomparably loud, as if a big bomb had exploded in their ears, and the eardrums were buzzing, and for a moment, they couldn't hear anything, and could only watch the bomb fall in the sky with frightened eyes.
The warhead flew to the ground, and almost as soon as they saw it, it hit the ground, a full five hundred meters from the center of the semicircular square, and only hit the steps outside.
This smash is a landslide and the ground cracks.
With the warhead as the center, a terrifying shock wave on the ground was formed, spreading to all sides, just like ripples on the surface of the water, which was a terrible seismic wave formed by the collision!
The nearby houses, under the impact of this shock wave, collapsed in an instant, only the frame of the concrete structure remained, and the bricks built inside were already in ruins.
And that's just the collision!
When the speed is very large, the energy brought is quite huge, to put it simply, if a steel ball can be accelerated to one-tenth of the speed of light, it can pass through the entire sun, blowing up the sun, it is so terrible.
And now, this warhead, which comes down at fifteen times the speed of sound, weighs a ton and when it comes into close contact with the ground, it can smash a large crater the size of two football fields, which is enough to cause an earthquake of magnitude 6 or more!
Of course, this was only the beginning, and at the moment of impact, the warhead exploded.
"Boom!"
This warhead, without the use of special weapons, is the most common high-explosive warhead, and the technology of this explosive was originally exchanged with the Soviets.
A one-ton warhead with a shell of two hundred kilograms, and the rest of the eight hundred kilograms, all of this high-explosive.
In the violent explosion, a huge fireball appeared, and black smoke evaporated.
The anti-aircraft artillerymen bore the brunt of the blow, and at the same time as the ground tremor, almost their lives came to the end, and the shock wave formed by the explosion instantly cut their bodies into pieces of minced flesh, and then they were vaporized by the high temperature.
At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds, was this the kind of weapon that destroyed Petersburg?
The various ruins of the buildings destroyed by the earthquake just now were all swept away in the explosion, with the explosion as the center, affecting a range of more than a thousand meters, this terrible attack, without any warning, was simply the biggest blow to the will of the defenders, such an attack, can they resist?
Within the city of Osad, the Defense Command.
"We just suffered a terrible attack." The commander of the 25th Infantry Division, Major General Ivan Yefimovich Petrov, walked into the command headquarters and said to Rear Admiral Zhukov, who was commanding: "I don't know where the heavy artillery came from, with only one shot, it destroyed our central square, causing hundreds of casualties. ”
They didn't know what kind of weapon had just attacked them, not the bombs dropped by the bombers, because no bombers were found, the sky was clear, and it was clearly visible even at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and this kind of damage could only be hit by large-caliber heavy artillery.
The main forces of the current Odessa defense area are the Red Army's Independent Primorsky Army, the Odessa base of the Black Sea Fleet, and the militia units, and three lines of defense consisting of trenches, pillboxes and anti-tank artillery positions have been built around the city of Odessa.
Among them, the outer defense line is 25-30 kilometers away from the urban area, with a total length of 80 kilometers; The middle defense line is 6-8 kilometers away from the urban area and has a total length of 30 kilometers; The last line of defense is the city of Odessa.
The Soviets defended themselves with the 25th and 95th Infantry Divisions, the 9th Cavalry Division, the 421st Naval Infantry Brigade (consisting of Black Sea Fleet sailors), the 54th Infantry Regiment and one Internal Affairs Regiment, with a total of 35,000 men, 240 artillery pieces and 111 aircraft.
In the current situation, the Black Sea Fleet is trapped in the Black Sea, they can't get out at all, Germany's naval power is too strong, and Moscow also strictly ordered the navy to attack, so, at the suggestion of the commander of the Navy Kuznetsov, the navy went ashore and formed into ground forces, playing with the dignity of the Red Navy.
So, the navy went ashore and together formed the Ozad Front, which fought to defend Ozad. Although they are only an infantry brigade in terms of organization, they are the most powerful force in combat, and every naval soldier can fight to the end, and would rather pull a grenade and die with the enemy than surrender.
The fighting was brutal.
Now, they have been fighting fiercely with the Romanian army for more than half a month, the battle has been fought from the outside mountains to the outskirts of the city, although they are retreating, but they have also dealt a heavy blow to the Romanian army, it can be said that up to now, the losses of the Romanian army have exceeded 10,000 people. Rear Admiral Zhukov turned his head, looked at Rear Admiral Petrov, and said: "No matter what weapons they use, it will not change our determination, we will guard in Ossad and fight until the last moment!" ”
In the early days of the Soviet-German war, the performance of the army was blushing and retreating, but the Red Navy showed their dignity, both in Petersburg and in Osad.
And now, Rear Admiral Zhukov, who had long decided to fight until the last moment, looked at his colleagues: "Good news, our tractor plant, put 45-mm guns on tractors to form improvised tanks, don't you always complain about the lack of firepower?" You can go to the tractor factory to receive. ”
As he spoke, Zhukov handed Petrov a document, and with this document, Petrov was also excited: "Okay, this is what is needed, in the battle in the city, we need heavy weapons that can be quickly transferred, and the comrades of the tractor plant are good!" ”
