Chapter 492: The Battle Outside Moscow
readx;
The cannon fodder army outside Moscow may be tired of fighting. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone is taking advantage of the rare battlefield break time to adjust the state of war. But fierce artillery and air battles broke out again.
Every morning it was still dark. The air forces of both sides are already fighting each other in the skies over Moscow. And this time, the Luftwaffe seems to have made up its mind to split the victory with Moscow's air force.
Various types of warplanes from both sides engaged in non-stop air battles over Moscow. Although the German fighters were much more advanced than the Russians. But Moscow's air force pilots are all homegrown. Every downed plane. As long as the pilot parachutes in time. Almost all of them can be saved.
But the Luftwaffe was different. Once their plane is damaged or shot down. The parachuted pilot was either killed by the angry Russian army or became a prisoner of the Russian army.
So it started a week after the air battle. The Luftwaffe's advantage over Moscow became less and less apparent. Although the Germans had much more fighters than the Russians. However, the Luftwaffe, having lost a large number of pilots, had to postpone the high-intensity air raids. Turned to reconnaissance. Harassment is predominant. Air combat is complementary.
And the Russians, although the planes are not as many as the Germans. But after a week of fighting. The Russian Air Force is still firmly guarding the skies over Moscow.
However, due to the scarcity of aircraft. There are also not many pilots. So the Russian Air Force is still mainly defensive. They did not take the initiative to attack the German positions just because they had achieved a partial victory in air battles.
So the air battle in Moscow was actually a draw. The air forces of both sides can be said to be evenly matched. No one won a landslide. Be the first to update
And for the war of this era. If the two warring sides cannot achieve absolute air superiority. Then in the end, it will only be the army that will decide the direction of victory.
And the most powerful weapons in the army are nothing more than tanks and artillery. However, outside Moscow, the positions of the two armies were covered with anti-tank trenches that were enough to drown all tanks. And the range of the tank is simply too close. It is far from being able to defeat the opposing army, which has a large number of anti-tank weapons.
So it's more traditional. Equally powerful artillery battles were once again on the agenda. Be the first to update
Germany and Russia are both military powers. It is also an industrialized country. Once the two countries are bent on stumbling to the death, they will unleash their powerful production capacity. That enormous industrial production capacity would have amazed even God.
It's just mid-October. The weather outside Moscow has just cooled a little. But in the blink of an eye. The air in the entire Moscow region has become scorching hot again.
It turned out that in the case of the inconclusive battle of the Air Force. An artillery battle began on both sides.
Since by this time the German Army Group Center was already twenty kilometers closer to Moscow. The first update, although at this time there is no artillery that can directly bombard Moscow from 20 kilometers away.
But within twenty kilometers of Moscow were Russian defenders. So the two sides began an artillery battle day and night within 10 kilometers of this junction.
Russian-German sides from eighty-millimeter mountain artillery. Fight all the way to the heavy artillery of more than one hundred and fifty mm. Today you knocked out a heavy artillery regiment from me. I'll blow up one of your infantry divisions.
Due to the fierce fighting between the two sides for more than a month. The first update is so that the soldiers on both sides are actually extremely familiar with the positions and troop deployment of both sides. Many of the lots, although I have not seen them with my own eyes. However, the terrain alone can guess where a large number of enemy soldiers are hidden.
Therefore, the artillery of both sides even adopted this kind of whack-a-mole-style blind method. The results of the battle on both sides are also quite numerous. Every day of artillery battles adds tens of thousands of casualties.
And hundreds of thousands of shells are poured on Moscow land almost every day outside Moscow. And the powerful kinetic energy released after the explosion of the shell. The air around the roast was unstoppable. So cool autumn in Moscow. On the contrary, I can always feel the heat wave coming.
And at this time, the Moscow region has become a training ground for the military-industrial complex of both sides. All kinds of new weapons are emerging one after another. In fact, both sides of the war are plotting how to deal a fatal blow to each other.
Because Li Tie's Hainan Guards used rocket artillery as a secret weapon in the battle with the Japanese army. Although Li Tie has vigorously covered up the secret of the existence of rocket artillery.
But for Russia, the original designer of rocket artillery. More and faster chapters are here. They basically deduced the tremendous power of the rocket artillery from the explosion described by the defeated Japanese soldiers.
However, at that time, Russian rocket artillery technology was still in the research and development stage. Therefore, the attack power of rocket artillery that can really be used in real combat is not strong. And the production is not large.
But it was precisely because of Li Tie's arrival. The Russians of this life attached great importance to rocket artillery technology. Before the Germans attacked the Russians. Russia has already produced hundreds of models of various types. Rocket artillery of various calibers.
Now Moscow is under siege. The first update in order to break the deadlock. It also broke the German army's large number of artillery superiority. Stalin secretly ordered military factories to mass-produce rocket artillery of 120 mm caliber.
Due to the extremely simple production process of rocket artillery. And the firing range is also longer than that of similar guns of the general type. So it took only a month for the Russian military-industrial complex to produce thousands of rocket launchers.
And these military-industrial geniuses even thought of installing these rocket launchers on cars. And the method of installing multiple rocket launchers side by side to achieve the purpose of self-propelled multi-barreled artillery.
Such a design idea is very rudimentary of the rear multiple rocket launcher. Fortunately, the range of rocket artillery in this era was less than eight kilometers. If it can reach the future generations, it will be tens of kilometers at every turn. Even with a range of hundreds of kilometers, then only the powerful attack power of rocket artillery can completely defeat the other side.
So when the Russian cannon fodder army was still fighting bloody battles with the Germans. Moscow has installed thousands of rocket launchers on hundreds of launchers. They were going to teach the Germans a lesson.
It was also a morning in mid-October. Russia's newly formed rocket artillery division secretly sailed out of Moscow at night. They deployed thousands of rocket launchers in the defense area 10 kilometers out of the city.
The Russians thought well. Attack as soon as dawn comes. Run when you're done. Be sure to evacuate the rocket artillery positions before the German artillery observers found themselves.
Don't look at the thousands of rocket launchers here. You know, ten rocket launchers were installed on each car. In fact, it only takes a hundred cars to transport these rocket launchers.
And the entire rocket artillery division has a thousand cars. The rest of the cars are all ammunition trucks and various auxiliary vehicles. You must know that a single salvo of these 100 rocket launchers is enough to launch tens of thousands of huge rocket shells.
And a rocket artillery vehicle. A maximum of two rounds of firing will necessitate a shift of position. Because the enemy's artillery can quickly trace the trajectory of the shell. This is also one of the reasons why rocket artillery divisions have to fight and run. Because rocket artillery divisions have no protection. Once discovered by enemy artillery. It is quite possible that a single shell will cause the total annihilation of the entire rocket artillery division.
So the strategy of the Russians is to change places with one shot. Before the German artillery reacted. Their rocket artillery division has already been transferred elsewhere. Reloading ammo has changed the target again.
Up and down Moscow at this time. Great expectations were placed on the rocket artillery divisions. Not far from the rear of the rocket artillery division, more than 100,000 regular troops were ready to go. This will be a month and a half after Moscow was besieged. For the first time, the Russians attacked the German positions.
