On the artillery positions of the Russian army, 122-mm howitzers and 152-mm howitzers have been raised. These two types of artillery are the main artillery of the Russian Army.

The Russian Army also attaches great importance to artillery. They also knew very well how strong the German artillery was. As early as the last world war, the German Army had already made Britain, France, Russia and other countries suffer with powerful artillery. Therefore, they also knew that if war broke out with Germany, they would have to face Germany's powerful artillery, and they must have a strong artillery that could confront the German artillery.

It's just that due to the constraints of technology, it cannot be compared with Germany, so the road to the development of the Russian artillery is very difficult.

At a time when Germany and Russia were in their honeymoon period, they tried to import the technology of 105-mm light howitzers and 150-mm heavy howitzers from Germany, however, they did not get consent. These two types of artillery, however, were the main infantry support artillery of the German Army, and naturally could not be easily transferred to other countries, especially potential hostile countries.

In the absence of any way, Burussia can only develop it on its own. Because the performance of artillery steel is much inferior to that of Germany, the 105-mm light howitzer and 150-mm heavy howitzer developed by Burussia are completely incomparable with these two types of artillery equipped by the German army in terms of performance. This leaves them with no choice but to find another way.

Increasing the caliber of the cannon and lengthening the barrel became the only way. It is precisely in this way that the Russian Army of Bursa has developed 122-mm howitzers and 152-mm howitzers. However, even so, there is still a certain gap in the performance of these two cannons compared with the 105-mm howitzers and 150-mm howitzers of the German Army.

In addition to these two cannons, the Russian army is armed with a small number of B-4 heavy howitzers. This howitzer, caliber 203 mm, was tured with a tractor. The barrel plus the chassis made the total weight reach 27 tons. The maximum firing range reached 17.5 km, and the maximum rate of fire was able to reach one shot per minute. This kind of heavy artillery is very powerful, and the German side called it 'Josef Heavy Hammer'!

It's just that now Burussia is not equipped with many such breaks, and one army group is only equipped with one artillery battalion, only 12 guns. Compared with the German Army, a group army is equipped with an artillery brigade, with a total of 72 210-mm heavy guns, which undoubtedly seems a little petty. Of course, this is mainly because the national power of Burussia is far from being comparable to that of Germany. Even if they want to equip more of these cannons, they are powerless!

"Fire! Destroy the artillery of the Germans! "The artillery commander of the Russian army, gave the order to open fire.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

One by one, the Russian artillery began to roar. Orange-red flames shone in the muzzles, and heavy shells, under the action of huge kinetic energy, smashed into the positions of the German troops.

Especially those B-4 heavy howitzers, each of which will cause a lot of movement when it is fired.

"Boom!"

A 203-mm shell, which fell on one of the German field artillery positions. A huge explosion sounded, and the entire artillery position was shrouded in smoke. By the time the smoke cleared, the 75-mm field guns were already staggering, and some of the cannons even had their barrels twisted. As for the German artillerymen, they were killed in the explosion.

"Suppress the artillery of the Russians!"

The German artillery reacted immediately, and those 210-mm heavy guns and 150-mm heavy howitzers with a long range began to fire at the artillery positions of the Russian army, suppressing their artillery positions.

For a time, a fierce artillery battle began. It's just that both in terms of the number of artillery and the performance of artillery, German artillery has an advantage. As a result, the losses of the Russian artillery at the time of the artillery battle began to skyrocket.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Twelve 210-mm guns from a battalion of 210-mm heavy artillery were under the guidance of a school firing aircraft and opened heavy fire on an artillery position in Burussia. Heavy artillery shells rained down like raindrops. The entire artillery position was shrouded in fire and smoke. The artillery deployed by the Russian artillery on this artillery position was all destroyed in less than five minutes.

The artillery battle was undoubtedly tragic, because as soon as the artillery positions were hit by enemy shells, they could be torn to pieces.

"Boom!"

A sky-shattering explosion sounded, and I saw a large cloud of black gunpowder smoke rising from an artillery position of the Russian army.

It was a bunch of shells that were detonated, which caused such a big movement.

In order to speed up the firing, the Russian artillerymen piled up a large number of shells on the artillery positions in advance. Doing so, of course, can further increase the rate of fire. But at the same time, there is also a great crisis. If these shells were to be detonated, the damage to the artillery positions would probably be greater than being hit by enemy shells.

Now, that's the case. The entire artillery position was swept away by explosions and smoke of gunfire, and when the smoke cleared, this artillery position ceased to exist.

"General, the Air Force reports that their fighters entered the battlefield in ten minutes!"

In the sky, after the Luftwaffe completed the air raid on the Buorussian airfield, it was engaged in the attack on the Buorussian defense line non-stop. A large number of fighters, covering dive bombers and ground attack aircraft, entered the battlefield and began to attack the positions of the Russian army.

With a sharp and piercing whistling, the dive bomber dived down from a high altitude and accurately smashed the aerial bomb on the artillery position of the Russian army, destroying those cannons and artillery.

Those ground attack planes used aviation machine guns, machine guns, and bombs carried to attack the positions of the Russian army.

Ground attack aircraft have a long stay in the air and a large bomb load, although they are not as accurate as dive bombers, and they are also relatively more clumsy. However, the losses they inflicted on the Russian army were no less than those of dive bombers.

As for those fighters, when there was no longer a threat from the fighters of the Russian Air Force in the sky, they naturally threw themselves into the attack on the ground positions of the Russian army.

A BF-109 fighter swept over the positions of the Russian army, and the bullets from the aviation machine gun were on the ground, leaving a row of bullet holes. When the bullet entered the trenches of the Russian army, it immediately left a long trail of blood. Many Russian soldiers, killed by bullets from aviation machine guns, fell in the trenches screaming.

After the Luftwaffe joined, the losses of the Russian army began to rise in a straight line. In particular, the artillery positions of the Russian army, under the air attack of the Luftwaffe, were destroyed one after another, so that they were completely suppressed in the artillery battle, and the losses were getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before their artillery will be completely lost, and the artillery will suffer heavy casualties.
