Since receiving the order to personally lead the troops through the blockade line, Gurov's mentality was very contradictory, because his status was very embarrassing: it was not uncommon for the captured Red Army to join the partisans after escaping fascist control, and there was no discrimination against those comrades in the partisan headquarters. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info but he still can't forgive himself, because he used to be the guard of the deputy commander's guard!

There is shame, there is the excitement of returning to the main army, and there is the overwhelm of perhaps seeing the deputy commander again - how will the deputy commander treat himself? It is also possible that he will not have the opportunity to meet the deputy commander at all.

Everything made me very contradictory, but everything could only be pressed in my heart, and I would take the team through the blockade first.

A few hours before dawn, the detachment set out and marched eastward in the extremely dim light of the woods.

、、、、、、

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Lin Jun had been up for several hours. An hour earlier, a telephone call had been received from Moscow about the imminent reorganization of the troops and the arrival of two new front commanders in three days at the latest.

It is Rokossovsky and Timosinger who will arrive in Minsk, and the candidate for the commander of the Third Belorussian Front has also been largely determined, which will be held by Ivan Stepanovich Konev.

It can be seen that Stalin and the General Staff are moving very fast, and everything is racing against time, but Zhukov's order to go to Ukraine has not yet come down, but it looks fast.

Every second is racing here, and the same is true on the German side, and Hitler is re-making his personnel adjustments, so I don't know if von Bock's position as commander of Army Group can be retained.

Just as I was eating breakfast, the phone rang again.

"Andrei Nikolayevich, I have found a super-cannon of the Germans in the newspaper below...... That's right, it's the one that shelled Minsk, and I didn't find it when I closed it in the early stage, which is a bit incredible! …… Big, very huge! ……”

The call was from Budyonny, and his cavalry found the German super cannon when they were cleaning the battlefield, and there were two slightly smaller giant cannons gathered nearby, so they hung up the phone to Lin Jun to see if he was interested in going and seeing.

Zhukov won't have time to run to join in the fun, but Lin Jun has time - Dora, not everyone can see it!

"Gusev, I'm going out, first go to Marshal Budyonny's headquarters, go see the big guy!"

As soon as the staff officer saw Lin Jun's radiant appearance, he knew that it was a good thing, and immediately went to prepare. In less than ten minutes, the mighty travel convoy was ready to go. Lin Jun personally doesn't like this kind of honor guard, and feels that it is a bit of a waste of national resources, but considering his identity, he can only accept it unconditionally.

The convoy rumbled through the city, and Lin Jun had an intuitive understanding of the city of Minsk after the Great War for the first time - from the outside, the city was finished, except for a small area in the east, which was barely managed, and the whole city was completely in ruins.

Even in peacetime, cleaning up a ruin of this scale is an extremely huge project, let alone restoring it to its original vitality and prosperity!

However, Lin Jun believes that in a few years, a new city of Minsk will appear on the land of Belarus, not as the Western media and politicians who saw a few photos of the Minsk battle exclaimed: Minsk has become a dead city and cannot be rebuilt!

The rhetorical Western politicians in memory of seeing the tragic situation in Warsaw thought that Warsaw was over, and that "this would" be Minsk's turn, which made Lin Jun feel ridiculous and pitiful. Western politicians are too ignorant of the tenacity of Eastern Europeans, especially Russians. The Western world has been at ease for too long, and even the last war did not withstand the kind of war in which countless cities were completely destroyed, which made them misestimate the endurance and endurance of the Soviet Union.

Thinking about the problem from the perspective of the worldview of the capitalist world, Lin Jun felt that they were quite pathetic, as small and weak as the little reptiles shivering in the ruins of winter.

This Budyonny was already waiting for Lin Jun at the headquarters, and when he saw Lin Jun's set of honor guards, the cavalry marshal wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh: the deputy commander looked like the commander of the latest armored infantry reinforcement company, and took the troops to the line of fire to fight desperately!

Budyonny originally prepared a war horse for himself and Lin Jun to travel, but thinking about the distance of dozens of kilometers, and seeing Comrade Andre in the car, he finally gave up the plan to inspect on horseback.

However, he didn't want Budyonny to drill armored personnel carriers like Lin Jun, and Lin Jun didn't want to run dozens of kilometers in the iron box anymore, so he borrowed a donkey to go downhill and got into the high-end car that Budyonny had prepared.

Budyonny didn't have his own high-end car at the front, either in an armored command car or on horseback, and his two high-end cars were left in Moscow. The car in which the two of them were riding was the German Opel senior general's official car, captured by the 1st Guards Cavalry Corps in the battle, as a gift to the marshal, and Budyonny unceremoniously accepted the kindness of his subordinates and used it as his own car.

Opel, a famous European car, but Lin Jun's previous life seemed to be basically based on the production of mid-range and family cars, but this Oubao has its own high-end goods, just like this general's car that can seat 8 people.

In fact, there is no need to worry about travel safety outside the city, the German ground forces have been completely cleared, and there will be no German planes in the sky to look for trouble. It was much more comfortable in a sedan than in a tin can, and there was no need to worry about a surprise attack by small German troops - there were Red Army units everywhere in this area, and there were no living German troops, but there were quite a few dead bodies.

The dirt road was frozen to the extreme hard, a large number of car wheels and tank tracks had cleared the snow, and the Opel with snow chains was unhurried.

"Belov reported to me that the cannon was as big as a mountain, and I don't know how the Germans made it!"

"Hitler, the madman, was so bold and prolific that it would be difficult for our normal minds to understand his atypical head."

At this time, Budyonny, who was sitting next to Lin Jun, straightened his beard, and it took a second to realize that Lin Jun was making fun of the short man, and laughed.

The vice-commander-in-chief's witty remarks were well-known in the Moscow upper echelons, and Budyonny was about the same, sometimes making a little joke, otherwise there would be no classic punch line "saddle plug cockpit, horse dragon head set aircraft engine".

All the vehicles along the way were making way for the huge convoy, and when they saw the flag of the Marshal of the Soviet Union in front of the limousine in the middle, everyone reflexively saluted the car.

Budyonny in the car seemed to enjoy the treatment, "Power, always intoxicating." Lin Jun thought in his heart: It is undeniable that he also enjoys this feeling of admiration from thousands of people.

This is not a flat asphalt road, or no matter how advanced the car is, no matter how good the driver's skills, this shaky is inevitable. After discussing the reorganization of the troops for a while, the two marshals of the Soviet Union would also get bored.

It had been on for a while, Lin Jun looked at the time, and Budyonny noticed that Lin Jun's watch was not his original one. Here, Lin Jun noticed that Budyonny seemed to have paid attention to his watch, and simply said, "The original one is broken, let Gu Shev get a new one." This Swiss watch is really good, it is more accurate than our Kiev production, and you don't have to time it every day. ”

The seats were divided into three rows, and in front of them sat Colonel Rahimov, Gusev and Budyonny's confidential secretary, and the driver and the guards in front were Budyonny's personal guards, and they did not need to hide their words.

"Gusev, do you have anything left? Give the marshal a block to get the time on time. ”

Before Budyonny could react and refuse, Lin Jun was obviously going to pull the cavalry marshal into the water. "Yes, Marshal."

Budyonny's command does not rely on the logistics department, and he does not have Lin Jun's habit of looking for souvenirs all over the world, and he can't look down on it, so he really doesn't have the heart to do anything.

Here, Gu Shev had already opened his briefcase, took out a few watches from it, and turned around and handed them to Lin Jun. Now Budyonny is a little crying and laughing, the deputy commander is obviously prepared, hard plugged! Lin Jun wanted to give Budyonny a watch, could Budyonny say, "No, thank you." ”？

In the end, Lin Jun made up his mind for Budyonny and chose a block of Jaeger-LeCoultre, and he also had a share, and everyone else in the car was shoehorned into one. Under Budyonny's crying and laughing expression, his subordinates also accepted the gifts of the deputy commander-in-chief.

"The commander can't do it without a good watch, don't you say? Semyon Mikhailovich. ”

Budyonny replied with a smile, and then quickly moved the conversation to the manufacture of precision instruments in Germany. In fact, Marshal Budyonny can also be said to be a player, in addition to the war horse, Lin Jun didn't expect that he still had some research on European clocks, and his knowledge was by no means worse than his own.

The marshal is also a human being, and Budyonny is still the kind of person who likes to enjoy, plus Lin Jun, a guy who can lie down and never sit, has more common languages and hobbies.

But by the time Budyonny's conversation moved from precision instruments to the Donhippopotamus, the destination had arrived: a reserve of officers and soldiers of the Front was already waiting in line.

There is no giant Dora in sight here, but the super rail that appears after the snow has been cleared in front of it is very conspicuous - you can imagine its size from the special rail made of 12 steel rails!

Lin Jun and Budyonny are a little impatient!

Lieutenant General Pavel Alekseevich Belov, after reporting to the two marshals, immediately took two marshals who apparently couldn't wait to see the behemoth along the railway. There were many large craters in front of the car, and after walking dozens of meters, before turning the corner, Lin Jun saw a huge metal pipe in the distance exposing the treetops of the woods!

When Dora's shocking figure finally appeared in front of Lin Jun, he was really shocked by the war beast in front of him! I have seen its pictures in my previous life, but when I really stand in front of it, the shocking effect that comes to my face is impossible for pictures!

The ultimate behemoth of land artillery! At this moment, Lin Jun doubted how the German engineers built it! The Germans, who are proficient in the manufacture of precision instruments, can create such a behemoth, I don't know if they are genius or stupid!

is surrounded by ice and snow, although full of trauma, the murderous momentum of "Dora" still affects everyone on the side!

The huge craters on the ground covered with ice and snow can still be distinguished, and the steel structure of "Dora" has wounds left by direct hits by aerial bombs in many places. Although the 250-kilogram high-explosive shell caused structural damage to the base of the cannon's barrel, it could not completely shake it, and it still stood tall like a stout beast!

It's too big, too sturdy!

Lin Jun walked around this steel monster for a while, and finally climbed onto the cannon pedestal, standing on it with a bit of condescending taste. I really don't know how Hitler felt when he first saw it: it seemed that there was nothing that "Dora" could not solve, and any solid target was like paper paste in front of him!

The huge running bolt was obviously directly hit by a high-explosive bomb of more than 250 kilograms, the potholes, the running bolt has been scrapped, the steel railing next to it and the bomb loser behind it were all torn apart by the violent explosion, and it is estimated that the gunner who was operating here at that time had become fly ash at the moment of the explosion!

The body tube has the thickest wall at the tail of the cannon, and the huge body tube is estimated to make people sit in it very comfortably - because the barrel is pointing to the sky, Budyonny can only sigh that the caliber of this cannon is large enough, but he can't let his soldiers get into the muzzle of the cannon and feel what it is like to sit in the muzzle of the cannon.

"I think this big guy must weigh more than 1,000 tons, and it would be a nightmare to move it!" Budyonny's leather-gloved hand tapped on the huge running bolt and said he was probably conservative.

"It's going to be of little practical use to us, and it's impossible to fix it. Even if you can repair it, you don't need such a dinosaur that makes trouble for yourself. Lin Jun satisfied his curiosity at this time, "I think I will let it stay here for the time being, and use barbed wire to pull the warning line around, and it will be a very good war education base after the war is over." ”

"Well, I think that's what it will do. Such a big guy is worth keeping, it's not worth smashing the furnace. ”

Budyonny also apparently "loved" the behemoth under his feet, and had the intention of preserving it - both from a political and military point of view, it was the best option to let it slowly rust here before the end of the war: he could not steal it if he wanted to, and he could not move it! That is, after repairing the special railway and gantry crane, it is necessary to repair several blown wheels and load-bearing structures before pulling it, which will not be solved in a while.

With a simple conversation between the two marshals of the Soviet Union, the fate of this "Dora" in the future was decided, and it was destined to become a big toy for the Soviet people to visit in the future. Because it costs a lot to move this behemoth, it is better to leave it here at present, plus the scrap copper and rotten iron left by the nearby German army, and after a few years, it may become a very good patriotic education base.

Cautiously returning to the ground, Belov led everyone to the side to see the shells used by the "Dora" - the warhead alone was as high as two people!

It's all so huge! A giant cannon that is even more "dinosaur" than a dinosaur, and you will feel pressure in your heart when you look at the cannonballs like giant beasts! Lin Jun has truly seen the power of this kind of cannonball, which can completely destroy and blow a building to pieces with a single shot!

Standing next to the cannonball and taking a few photos, it felt like entering the land of giants - have you ever seen a cannonball that you have to look up to?!

The reporters accompanying the army on the side kept snapping pictures of the two Soviet marshals inspecting the captured German cannons, which would appear on the front page of Pravda the day after tomorrow.

The capture of the German cannon was the icing on the cake for the propaganda of a major victory for the Red Army, and both marshals had agreed that such a cannon would do more harm than good, and that there was no value in conducting in-depth research - just look at the railways to understand this, and there was no need for artillery experts to make a public decision.

But the experts will still come, such a big guy is worth a little research, just watch the excitement is also worth it, but Fan doesn't have to spend a lot of effort. However, when those almost unbelievable photos are released, it is estimated that the leaders of some countries will be very interested in "Dora", so let them go to the old age and money to do some research, Lin Jun and Budyonnina are desperate!

The brilliance of new weapons such as long-range bombers began to obscure the strategic mobility, high power, and range advantages of giant train guns, and the tactical maneuverability of the railguns themselves was huge, and the disadvantages of logistical support could not be compensated.

And although "Dora" is huge, those shortcomings are also reflected in it to the extreme: even Budyonny knows that even the intact "Dora" is a chicken rib, and there is no need to spend more effort on it.

"Marshal, our ordnance and explosives specialists will process a few of these giant shells, and when the inert processing is completed, two will be transported to Moscow for exhibition." Lieutenant General Belov said, pointing to the huge shell.

This can be regarded as a difficult project, the concrete destruction shell weighs more than seven tons, and it is not as easy to deal with as a 152-mm howitzer shell, and even the high-explosive shell weighs more than four tons! However, Stalin should have been happy to see for himself the shells, which were almost two stories high, and these shells and cartridges (the "Dora" shells used a split cartridge, that is, the projectile and cartridge were separated, and the projectile was first advanced into the chamber when it was fed, and then a huge cartridge was stuffed into the chamber with a bomb loser, instead of "wrapping ******". The effect on the publicity must be very good!

After staying in "Dora" for more than half an hour, Lin Jun and Budyonny satisfied their curiosity. However, the inspection of the two was not over there, and at a distance of 5 kilometers from here, the cavalry also found two huge train guns, and they were in perfect condition!

Of course, this "huge" is also relative, and compared to the fateful "Dora", any other cannon can only be regarded as a little brother.

When Lin Jun saw the two beautifully shaped train guns parked on the railway track on the car, he immediately recognized its model: "K5 train guns." ”

The best of the German train guns! Long range, accurate artillery and great power, this huge cannon once gave the Minsk defenders a lot of headaches, but I didn't expect that this would capture two at once!

"Did you capture any German artillery? Just these two gun crews. And are there any shells? Lin Jun asked Belov repeatedly.

"Some of them were captured, and my men were preparing to explode at this time, hehe, they didn't have time. Several of their ammunition wagons were also found on the railroad behind, with at least 400 shells, all of which were now in our possession. Belov knew what the deputy commander-in-chief meant, "I have already contacted our comrades from the railway artillery and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and someone will come to receive them in the afternoon." I haven't sent those captives back yet, they are all being held in the village on the side, and none of them can escape. ”

The well-captured large-caliber railroad runs were dealt with almost in the same way on both sides of the war: collect as many shells as possible for their own use, and squeeze them out to use!

K5 train gun, this is not like the German 150mm heavy howitzer, ordinary people can not play with it! Even if the comrades of the Red Army's heavy railway artillery came to receive it, it would require a huge amount of work just to collect information and understand its technical parameters, and the shells were fired at a standard rate of one less shot, so it was impossible to make enough test firing to find out its performance.

Now that the original German gunners are present, the efficiency of this familiar performance will be greatly improved, and those German gunners will not be sent to Siberia to open mines. As for whether it will cooperate and familiarize itself with the safety of the performance, there is no need to worry about this, those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a solution.

The Red Army railway artillery unit will be very happy to get these two German train guns, the K5 is a real treasure, and it is very convenient to use, and the performance is excellent!

This K5 train cannon is famous in Lin Jun's memory, and it is also known as the K5E train gun. After the First World War, Germany was restricted by the Treaty of Versailles and was forbidden to develop large-caliber artillery, but in the case of the mushrooming development of train guns in various countries, Germany cleverly used the development of the navy as an excuse to continue to develop large-caliber artillery.

In 1933, Germany began a series of train gun development programs equipped with super-heavy guns, among which the old Kluber company proposed to use the existing vehicle with a 283mm caliber gun plan, which was tested in 35 years, because the test effect was the most significant in all designs, it was adopted by the German military, and named the K5 (E) leopold train gun, which was put into service in 1936.

The performance of this gun is undoubtedly the best compared to all the train guns produced before!

The K5(E) has a simple, classic design, efficient ammunition handling equipment, a sophisticated reloading mechanism, and a slender gun body, which gives the K5(E) the nickname Schlanke Bertha. By 1940, at least 8 K5(E) were on the battlefield.

One of the characteristics of the K5E train gun is that the entire gun body structure is undertaken by two board cars in the front and rear, and the board car has a special design, with six axle wheels, each of which can carry 18 tons. The entire train gun is composed of a locomotive, a crew car, a supply car, and an ammunition car.

On the battlefield, the K5 can exert its power through two firing modes, one is to shoot directly on the railway, and the other is to shoot on a specially designed railway carousel.

In the process of K5E service, a total of 3 types of shells were developed, and the GR35 grenade developed and produced in 1940 had a maximum range of 60 kilometers, and the captured shells were GR35.

Due to its excellent performance, the K5E has been well received by the German army in all battlefields.

In 1940, two K5 train guns, just equipped with GR35 grenades, were secretly transported to the shores of the Strait of Dover in France to shell the British mainland across the channel. Although the British on the other side also have train guns and coastal guns with a caliber of more than 300 mm, they can't reach the K5 at all with their range, so they can only be beaten and have no way!

At the Atlantic Wall, the K5 was used by German naval forces to prevent the intended Allied movement across the Strait of Dover.

The most famous battle in history in which the K5 train guns participated was the Battle of Angel O in 1944, when a landing force under the command of General Lucas of the United States landed at Angelo, Italy, to establish a beachhead, but Lucas was only concerned with bringing more supplies ashore, and the troops were stagnant.

On the other hand, after discovering that the Allies had stagnated after the landing, the Germans urgently took advantage of the well-arranged and unimpeded railway system before the war to dispatch K5 train guns to Italy for support.

Due to the accurate fire control system of the K5 train gun, the unusually accurate hit rate compressed the American army in a small beachhead for four months!

There are also two K5s that participated in the siege of Leningrad on the Eastern Front, and later participated in the early stages of the Battle of Stalingrad, and these two K5s in front of Lin Jun should be the two that fought on the Eastern Front in history, but I didn't expect them to be captured by myself intact!

Together with the "Dora" and the "Karl", which had long been discovered and destroyed, the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the giant cannons owned by the Germans were almost all in Minsk!
