The violent shaking also startled the Soviet commanders in the new city of Brest.

When there was a violent tremor on the ground, they thought it was a counterattack from the other side, and the shells exploded near them!

But even if a shell explodes, the movement will not be so big, right? Moreover, if there is an explosion at close range, how can there be such a long time between the violent vibration and the sound of the explosion?

Timoshenko frowned, he already had a premonition, could it be that the Germans had some powerful secret weapon on the other side?

A few minutes later, the news, which made them even more stunned, was reported that the 152-mm heavy artillery positions in the rear had been destroyed!

When they got the news, everyone's eyes were glazed: "Impossible, how is this possible?" ”

"Did the arsenal explode?" Pavlov asked.

This kind of violent explosion can only be a situation in which the opponent's cannon hits its own ammunition depot, causing a terrible detonation of the ammunition in the ammunition depot.

"I don't know, it's chaotic right now." Said the person who came to report.

The entire 152-mm howitzer position was destroyed, of course, the scene was in chaos, and the people who initially understood what was going on, were already dead.

Timoshenko's face was very grim, if it was an explosion at the arsenal, then it could be explained in the past, if the Germans used secret weapons, then other artillery positions in their rear would also be in danger, and they must be allowed to evacuate as soon as possible!

"It must have been an explosion at the arsenal." "Now, with ten minutes left before the end of the artillery cover, we must act according to the original plan," Khrushchev said. ”

This attitude of Khrushchev annoyed Timoshenko very much, this attitude of not caring about the lives of soldiers at all, just so that he could climb up.

However, if the artillery is ordered to stop firing and evacuate immediately after it has not been determined, it seems that there is too much fuss.

So, in the midst of hesitation, the second shot of Gustav's cannon began again!

The accuracy of this cannon was very high, thanks to the accurate observation of the enemy in the pre-war period, and it did not hit point targets, but surface targets, as long as the deviation of the shot was not very large, it was able to achieve sufficient effect.

And now, the elevation angle is again reduced, the firing range is closer, the target, the position of 122-mm howitzers fifteen kilometers away!

"Boom!" Again a huge roar sounded, and the entire Gustav artillery position was covered with a thick smoke, the earth was trembling, and the cannons were trembling with excitement!

With the terrible Grim Reaper, 4.8 tons of high-explosive shells, flew to the 122-mm howitzer position.

This time, the accuracy was slightly less than good.

The shells did not fall in the center of the howitzer position, but smashed into a corner, and a dozen howitzers in this corner, with their gunners, were wiped out, and at the same time, the other artillerymen finally saw clearly, it turned out that the other side had projected extremely powerful shells!

This cannonball is stronger than the shell of any naval gun! When they saw the black smoke enveloping the sky into a small mushroom cloud after the shell exploded, all the artillerymen felt their fear deeply, their legs were shaking, and they wanted to leave this terrible place of death immediately!

"Quick, report to your superiors immediately, we have encountered enemy artillery fire in return, and the enemy has super-caliber artillery!"

In the church of the Terespil Fortress, the German observers, still observing the opposite side, looked at the results of the battle, and immediately shook their heads: "Pay attention, the elevation angle is reduced by thirty points, and the azimuth is deviated by one degree to the left!" ”

It's normal to miss, just adjust it a little more, and the next shot will definitely send the entire 122 howitzer position to the sky!

Behind them, Major Zavrilov's eyes were already blurred, and he looked at the black smoke rising from his own positions in the distance, knowing that the Germans would have suffered at least a few hundred more casualties on their side!

In this case, it is impossible for your side to continue the battle at all, and you will only pay more heavy casualties! In particular, after his own artillery fire had thinned out, he saw that in the fortress, there were more large-caliber cannons, rumbling out, these cannons would bring terrible death to the soldiers rushing up!

The second cannon shocked the Soviets even more, because they already knew what they were facing!

"General Timoshenko, we can't fight this battle." Pavlov said: "There are anti-heaven artillery in Germany, they are bringing up the naval guns, and none of our artillery can fight against the naval guns, so order a retreat!" ”

Pavlov didn't want to fight, he had already seen this war, there was no chance of winning at all, everything was wishful thinking on his side, the Germans were preparing in secret, and it was more effective, compared to the Germans, his side was really weak!

"No, we must not retreat, Moscow will not allow us to retreat, if Comrade Stalin knew that we would retreat without a fight, he would definitely be angry, and none of these people present will end well!" Khrushchev said.

While others looked at the problem from a military point of view, Khrushchev considered it from a political point of view, and if this war was lost, his political future would be ruined, because this conflict was completely provoked by him.

There must be no retreat, this is a shame for the Soviets, even if they are all killed in battle, they cannot retreat!

"If we continue to fight, our artillery will be finished." Pavlov said: "Khrushchev, you think only about your own political future, and not the lives of your fighters!" ”

"Pavlov, you are a coward!" Khrushchev cursed, then he turned to Timoshenko and said: "We still have fighters, now, let our fighters take off at once, and destroy the German artillery, this cannon is fired at a long interval every time, and we can destroy it when he launches it the next time." ”

According to the plan, when the artillery bombarded by their own artillery, the fighters should also take off, but, for some reason, no orders were given to the air forces, in the hearts of these generals, the air force seemed to be a supporting role, and the army could solve all the troubles, and now that there was a big trouble, they remembered the air force.

In this operation, it was necessary to have the participation of the air force, and the air attack was even more important to attack the fortress, but now, after receiving the order, in the field airfield 100 kilometers east of Brest, one fighter plane after another immediately took off in formation.
