Chuikov left the headquarters, but Andrei's thoughts at the moment were very excited, next his Siberian Volunteer Division, but there was going to be a bloody battle, are his soldiers ready?
On the third day, Lieutenant Pravio, who was still working as the acting chief of staff at the division headquarters, was working intensively at this time, and there was good news from the artillery battalion outside, the flying thunder cannon was successful, and Plavio looked at the division commander and shouted excitedly: "Division commander, it really succeeded"
Yes, the PLA's artifact has no conscience cannon, at that time, due to the fact that there were few captured howitzer shells, and the 41 howitzers were also relatively bulky, it was very likely to be worn out in the next brutal battle, so Andrei gave his subordinates a task that was to make a batch of flying thunder cannons. The main body of this weapon, also known as the explosive projectile, is an empty gasoline barrel filled with propellant, in which a packet of explosives bundled into a disc is placed and the propellant is ignited to use the impact of the explosion. You will be able to pack up to 10 kilograms of explosives. Throw it out to a meter away.
At that time, Plavio was very skeptical, could such a rudimentary launcher really work? And the artillery battalion commander nodded vigorously and said affirmatively: "Yes, according to the introduction of the chief of staff, the explosive projectile canister mentioned by the division commander has a certain similarity with the previous heavy mortar guns, both are used at large elevation angles, and the firing range is relatively short, but the power of the explosion is absolutely amazing." And the caliber of this weapon is absolutely amazing, how thick the oil drum we use is, then how big the caliber of the cannon is. In my experience, the powerful blast impact of this ten-kilogram package of explosives. Everywhere they passed, both the fortifications and the soldiers were blown away, not even the people hiding in the tanks, because they would be shocked to death if they were not killed. ”
After listening to the explanation of the artillery battalion commander, a look of surprise appeared on Plavia's face. He turned his head and asked Andrei excitedly: "Comrade division commander, if this kind of cannon is built, can it achieve the effect that Comrade Major said?" ”
And Andrei just smiled, of course!
At this time, a company commander of the reconnaissance battalion, together with two fighters and staff officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion, took a deep look at the open field in front of the Mamayev post, and said loudly to the signal corps behind him: "The width of the No. 2 coordinate point, three hundred meters, the target position, the center of the G5 point, start to set up the shooting Zhuyuan!" The tall, lanky messenger behind him replied, "Yes!" "At the same time, the staff officers and officers of the artillery battalion began to draw maps of artillery fire!"
(Military maps are generally drawn with grids and numbered, like the U.S. military first uses letters to divide the latitude, and then uses numbers to divide the warp direction, such as in the U.S. military tactical map Beijing is in the G10 square, Shanghai is in H12, Guangzhou is in J11, this square is very large, can not accurately locate the target, so in the large square and then 10 grids are drawn vertically and horizontally, the grid is reduced by 100 times, each grid is expressed with 22 digits, such as Guangzhou and Zhanjiang are J11 in the square, in the subdivision of Guangzhou in J1121, Zhanjiang is in J1111In this way, the grid is divided many times, each time the grid is reduced by 100 times, and 2 more digits are added to express it until it can be accurately represented, so that the characters are relatively long, and the place where each artillery battle is relatively fixed, and it must be fought in a large square, so that the code name of the large grid can be omitted, and only the last few digits can be reported, in fact, the map is also represented in this way, and this map is prepared by the geographical engineers before the battle. When artillery fights, it is to observe and calculate which small grid the target is in, and then report the target information and the grid number where the target is located to the fire command center, and the fire command center will distribute firepower, and will order the developed artillery battalion or company, and the company fire control center will calculate the relative distance and firing parameters according to the grid number where the target is located and the grid number where its own gun position is located, and direct the artillery squad to shoot. )
The team then had to make ten measurements in the area of fire, marking the points of attack and coverage of the next unconscionable guns and mortars.
As for the howitzers, although they have an extremely long range, each one has to be pulled by a car, and the rate of fire is too slow, although it can be called a high-power weapon, so it is used intensively in a safe rear tunnel.
Of course, in the envisaged defensive battle of Mamayev Heights, the use of howitzers was restricted, and Andrei had his own considerations: this thing was too powerful, and once exposed, it would inevitably attract the powerful firepower of the German army, and he was afraid that he would lose valuable artillery.
So if you want to fight, you can run, you can only pull into the hole if you hit, so that the Luftwaffe and artillery can't destroy them at once, of course, if the battle situation is difficult, you can't take care of it, so much, the artillery of the group army can also cover the area of the Mamayev post.
According to the data provided by the officers, the soldiers of the engineer battalion began to dig about twenty meters away from the Mamayev Gang Heights and other areas, each pit is barrel-shaped, the caliber is equivalent to a conscienceless cannon - this is not too difficult, because the conscienceless cannon is not suitable for field combat, Andrei once imagined what to do if he really had to get the support of artillery in the battle but there was no artillery, so he asked the soldiers to dig pits in the position as cannon chambers, so training to dig pits for emergency firing is also a compulsory course, which is for soldiers from peasant backgrounds, It's about the same as farming, but it's not too difficult.
The front row pit is the highest 60-degree angle of shooting, the middle row is the 45-degree angle with the longest shooting height, and the rear row is the lowest 30-degree angle of shooting. After digging the pit, build a shallow earthen wall around it to prevent rainwater from seeping in, and then cover it with wooden planks to keep it secret. For the ready-made unconscionable cannon in his hand, in Andrei's expectation, half of it was placed on the position, and the other half was used as mobile firepower at any time in key areas.
Andrei's war readiness plan, made out by nightmares and prophets of history, is being carried out efficiently and quickly by his own commanders and fighters. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and a butterfly that has crossed over stubbornly stands on the avenue, trying to flap its weak wings, trying to change the trajectory of history and change the catastrophe that Mamayev Gang will encounter. Before the wheels arrive, the butterfly must fan a storm strong enough, otherwise, it will be crushed by the wheels of history!
