"The Germans are so good quietly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Thirty-year-old Sergeant Opin picked his teeth with a toothpick, enjoying a rare moment of silence.

Since the exchange of shelling, the artillery fire on both sides has basically not stopped. There was full caution on both sides, the Tang army's defense line was not on the river, and even within the range of German artillery fire, the Tang army did not even have fortifications to garrison. In this case, if the Germans succeeded in crossing the river, they would have gained a large foothold on the west bank of the river.

This was a theoretical thing, and in practice it was impossible for the Germans to cross the river easily. During this time, the Germans did not even try to rush to the crossing under the cover of artillery fire. The Germans understood that on the opposite bank were the strength of two divisions of the Tang Army, but the firepower of more than 30,000 people was equal to the German army's 100,000. Even if the German army can cross the river, it will face the counterattack of the powerful Datang mechanized troops in a short period of time, and it will definitely not be able to gain a stable foothold.

Even the Germans themselves did not dare to press the artillery positions too far ahead, and the accuracy and efficiency of the artillery shelling of the Don Army were more than several times stronger than those of the Germans. Two days ago, the Germans deployed more artillery on the second line, because the Tang people had always attacked their first-line artillery positions, but when a large number of under-prepared artillery was deployed to the second-line positions, the Tang artillery suddenly shelled the German second-line positions, not only destroying hundreds of artillery pieces, but also causing more than 900 German soldiers to suffer casualties. It turned out that this was a trick played by the Tang army, pretending to have a limited range, but in fact it was able to attack farther places.

The German artillery bombardment was more of a similar dense cover, and the fire was quite fierce. The gathering of hundreds or thousands of artillery pieces to attack in a short period of time surprised the soldiers of the Tang Army, who had always been accustomed to the superiority of firepower.

Opin, the commander of the self-propelled guns, has been in the army for ten years, and has been stationed in Europe for three years. The commander of his self-propelled gun, Gao Xiangguo, was a little younger than him, and came over after graduating from the military academy. Gao Xiangguo sighed: "The German industry was also brought up by us, and in the end it became a white-eyed wolf and became our trouble." Germany now has a population of more than 40 million, its industrial capacity is quite good, and it has also saved a lot of things over the years. ”

Ou Ping held the kettle and drank water, and said: "It's not that we play with the leftovers, the shells that have come over these days are all 105mm grenades, which are what were supported to Germany back then, and the Germans have played until now." ”

The 105-mm howitzer was a weapon brought by the cross-cutting people, and even in the artillery of the Tang Army, it was used for many years, and it was not until the 19th century that it was gradually replaced by the 155-mm self-propelled guns and 155-mm ultra-light guns of the Tang Army. However, the excellent performance of the 105 grenade has been sought after by other countries. Especially among the German troops, a large number of such weapons were equipped.

Gao Xiangguo said: "The Germans have been trying to use artillery to clear the river bank on our side these days, but we simply threw the artillery in front, plus the protection of the air force, so that the Germans don't even have the courage to cross the river, according to their speed and effect, they can't consume us on the west bank of the river at all." ”

The covering artillery of the German army had limited damage to the self-propelled artillery of the Tang army, and only four vehicles were damaged and one vehicle was destroyed for such a long time. However, with the addition of aerial observation and its own fire control, the Datang artillery only needs to launch a concentrated fire to destroy a German artillery, and the German army's losses are very heavy, but the Germans are still holding on.

Gao Xiangguo's crew is resting, and they are on standby at any time. At this moment, the order suddenly arrived, and the front commander asked the artillery regiment they were to launch an artillery attack on a specific target.

After taking the parameters, Ou Ping, the artillery commander, manipulated the artillery, and said in his mouth: "It's good today, we didn't wait for the Germans to start fighting, we fought first." ”

The Germans generally did not dare to leave their artillery within the range of the Datang artillery, but the Germans could not know exactly the exact location of the Datang artillery. The Germans also have a certain proportion of self-propelled guns, the model is called Vespa, which is actually very similar to Datang's earlier self-propelled guns, with the 105 howitzer mounted on a tracked chassis.

Gao Xiangguo's artillery regiment entered the preset artillery position in front of the front and immediately launched an artillery bombardment, and the preparation time before and after was very short, which was also beyond the preparation of the Germans. Eighteen artillery pieces rumbled, but then Gao Xiangguo and the others found that more artillery sounds sounded around this time, apparently the Tang army mobilized almost all the artillery here for active shelling.

The total number of artillery regiments on standby on the west bank of the river is 12, with a total of more than 200 artillery pieces. At this time, it was an artillery regiment that shot at the same time, and it was really extraordinary. The Germans actually prepared artillery units and wanted to launch an artillery bombardment in an hour, but Datang's air force reconnaissance plane discovered the Germans' attempt and reported it to the front commander in advance. Major General Liu Sanhui, a 41-year-old major general, immediately captured the fighter plane and ordered the artillery to open fire in advance.

This sudden shelling inflicted even greater losses on the Germans, but not to be outdone, the Germans immediately fought back after being beaten. It's just that Gao Xiangguo's regiment is fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from the target, which is beyond the range of most of the German artillery, and it can't reach it at all.

Of course, the more domineering ones are still to come, Ou Ping heard the dense sound of swishing, and suddenly came to his senses, shouting: "It's a monkey!" ”

This is the joking name of the self-propelled artillery artillerymen for another peer, the rocket artillery unit of the Datang. More than 10 years ago, Datang was first organized to equip rocket artillery, and today it has built a rocket artillery brigade, and in the army stationed in the Netherlands, there is a rocket artillery brigade subordinate to the group army headquarters. This rocket artillery brigade was directly reinforced on the front line, and the power was terrible.

The rocket artillery brigade is equipped with a rocket launcher called Type 03 multiple rocket launchers, with a caliber of 300 mm, using heavy trucks with excellent maneuverability, with a range of more than 40 kilometers, forming the outermost circle of fire projection of the Datang Army. After the Tang Army and the German Army began to exchange artillery, the rocket artillery brigade was pressed by Liu Sanhui in his hands and did not move, and at this time, it was definitely a blockbuster effect.

In a short period of time, the firepower projected by rocket artillery is a density that is difficult for ordinary barreled artillery to achieve, and its range is long, and the blow is directly on the large army of the German army, and when a large number of shells fall into the German formation, the German army immediately explodes!
