Panfilov had moved the division headquarters to Kazatin yesterday, but there was one thing that bothered him: the deputy commander had also arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Jun was in a front-line combat city, which put Panfilov, Lu Jing and others under a lot of pressure, but Lin Jun told them that when he was in Minsk, he was closer to the line of fire than he is now!

"Isn't it still 2 kilometers away from the front-line position! The 8th Guards Infantry Division, plus a tank brigade and 7 regiments, was very comfortable for these two kilometers. ”

Everyone knows how much price and time it will take to break through the two-kilometer depth of the 8th Guards Infantry Division that is holding the city in this season!

At a quarter past two in the morning, Lin Jun was sleeping in the basement of the original archives of Kazatin, and he had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights: above was Panfilov's division headquarters, and above his head was the temporary studio of the cartographic platoon.

Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and he woke up, even through the thick reinforced concrete, Lin Jun could hear the faint roar outside.

As I sat up, the lights of the diesel generator above my head were swaying slightly from side to side, and tiny debris of cement from the ceiling was shaken down.

The wooden shelves and beds were shaking slightly, and Lin Jun frowned.

There were a few knocks on the door, and the guards who were originally on duty outside the door walked in, looking the same as usual, and said, "Marshal, it seems that the north side has been shelled by a cluster. ”

Lin Jun quickly put on his coat and boots, and when he stepped onto the staircase on the first floor, he heard the sound of heavy artillery shells exploding - at most two or three hundred meters away from the headquarters.

Walking quickly to the command room, more than a dozen telephones here were busy, staff officers were constantly dialing and answering, sounds similar to "hey, hey, hey" sounded in one piece, and some people trotted in and out.

The person who didn't see Panfilov, Lin Jun frowned, and yelled: "All quiet!" ”

It really had some effect, the war room immediately fell silent, and everyone reflexively stopped their movements and looked at Lin Jun in unison.

"If the phone can't be connected, send a signal corps to give orders, what about the people in the call company? It's time to check the line, don't feed the phone for a long time and hold the phone......"

In just a dozen seconds, the somewhat chaotic combat command room returned to order, although everyone was still in a hurry, but at least there was no panic.

Pulling over the officer on duty, Lin Jun asked, "What about your division commander?" ”

"Report to the marshal, I went to the passenger station half an hour ago."

"Let your chief of staff take over the command for the time being, don't panic."

"Yes, Marshal."

Lin Jun, who was originally in the basement, didn't have the feeling that the staff officers had just felt, and the explosion was so dense that it made people stand upside down!

Landscoch, who was originally outside the command headquarters, rushed to the basement and couldn't find Lin Jun, so he hurried to the command room and saw that the marshal was indeed here. He walked quickly to the side and said, "Marshal, ten minutes ago, the reconnaissance unit encountered the Germans in the forest on the north side, and found that a large number of tanks, infantry, and a lot of strange-looking equipment had been deployed.

Our artillery was just about to start a covering shelling, and the Germans opened fire first. Just now the entire northern sky was red, and the Germans concentrated at least one rocket artillery regiment. Judging by the shelling, at least two or three more artillery regiments with extended tubes shelled us. ”

"Where's the rocket bombardment?" Lin Junzhou asked with a frown.

"Passenger station to the northern factory area."

At this time, the division command gave an order to the 1075th Regiment to immediately support the northern factory area, which would surely have suffered heavy losses after such a dense attack.

A few shells landed less than 100 meters from the headquarters, and the reinforced windows that were still there suddenly crackled and crackled.

"Marshal, please enter the underground bunker."

Lin Jun glanced at the captain of the guard who spoke, did not make a sound, turned around and left the war room: if he insisted on not going to cover at this time, the captain of the guard would probably order him to be forced into the basement.

The "Katyusha" of the Red Army was formidable to the enemy, in fact, the Germans were equipped with a lot of rocket artillery before the start of the war, but they were not well known to outsiders. The 8th Guards Infantry Division had never been hit by rocket artillery of such a scale during the previous battle, which led to a short panic in the command structure.

Lin Jun is different, not only does he know that the Germans have a lot of rocket artillery, but when he defended the city in Minsk, he saw with his own eyes the power of the German rocket artillery cluster covering the shelling!

Under the intensive shelling, entire buildings were blown into ruins; After a dense explosion of just a few tens of seconds, a large area of fortified areas was left with only countless craters and broken building components!

And the explosions just now, the caliber of the shells definitely exceeded 150 mm, and no matter how strong the surface structure is, a direct hit can cut off half of the command headquarters.

Lin Jun didn't insist and entered the underground bunker.

The Germans had rocket artillery, as early as 1938 they developed a 150 mm diameter Type 38 rocket, and later an improved version of the rocket launcher consisted of 6 circular launch tubes bundled together in a star distribution and a gun mount of the PAK36 37 mm anti-tank gun, with a salvo launch interval of 2 seconds and a reload time of 90 seconds.

However, although that kind of rocket artillery was successfully developed in 1938, the German Army thought it was less powerful and less mobile: in the end, it borrowed the east wind of the German chemical troops to find new weapons to replace the old smoke-emitting mortars, and it was installed in the name of the Type 41 150mm smoke launcher, which has to be said to be a small German sadness for rocket artillery.

Since this rocket launcher could fire both smoke and anti-personnel shells, it was used with some success on the front line and was increasingly used for fire support - so the German rocket artillery was not called "cannon", but used the misnomerous name "smoke launcher".

The Type 41 high-explosive rocket launched by the "smoke launcher" has a diameter of 158 mm, a weight of 34.2 kg, a warhead of 2.5 kg, and a maximum range of 7,055 meters

And this time, the rockets that fell on the heads of Filtov and others were not only 158 mm, but also 210 mm rocket artillery shells!

Why are Panfilov's troops "unfamiliar with being bombed by rocket artillery"? Because most of the rocket artillery regiments of the German army were deployed in Army Group Center and Army Group North.

Before last summer, the Germans' tactics relied mainly on dive bombers and armored assaults, and rocket artillery units were classified as artillery auxiliary second-line units. However, as the German lightning offensive came to a standstill in the Soviet Union, the advantages of rocket artillery were brought into play, and the German army began to step up the production and use of rocket artillery as an assault fire and a weapon for attacking fortifications.

Although it is not comparable to the scale of the Red Army's rocket artillery units carrying out covering artillery bombardment at the division and brigade level as combat units, it is enough for Kazatin to be fired in clusters by a regiment!

After dozens of seconds of almost psychologically devastating explosions, Filtov was stunned to find that he was still alive! He shouted orders to both sides to prepare for battle, but he couldn't even hear what he was shouting!

I touched my ears and it was still there. I felt that my hand was a little damp, and when I looked closer, it seemed to be blood in the firelight. Filtorf knew that his inability to hear was not because there was something wrong with his ears, but because the inside of the ear canals in both ears was disturbed by loud noises and air waves!

This scene played out throughout the factory area, and the hearing of the living people was damaged for a short time, but no one cared, and the living people had only one thought - the Germans were going to attack!

Hold your ground and never retreat! (To be continued.) )
