Cannons are the god of war, when the huge cannonball falls from the sky, the sharp sound that cuts through the air, when it falls, accompanied by a huge explosion, the strong fortifications are destroyed, the people in the center of the explosion are directly shattered, and the people around who are affected by the air waves will also be seriously injured, this is simply the god of death!

The huge lethality, the terrible explosion scene, made it an effective offensive weapon, and the Soviet Union, has always liked artillery, except in the time of Khrushchev, the care for nuclear weapons, the development of artillery has been slow, the rest of the time, the Soviet artillery, are developing rapidly, in order to follow up their own mechanized forces, they have long realized self-propelled artillery.

Now, these guns, standing on the outside, are the backbone of Soviet artillery, 152-mm self-propelled guns.

Among them, without a turret, is the 2S5 152mm self-propelled cannon, which was equipped with the Soviet army at the end of the 70s. It is an open semi-armored tracked self-propelled gun, when the artillerymen fire shells, like ordinary towed artillery, they need to be exposed to the outside to fire, in fact, it is equivalent to adding a chassis to the towed artillery, with a total combat weight of 28.2 tons and a crew of 6 people. When firing ordinary shells, the maximum muzzle velocity reaches 942 m/s, the maximum rate of fire is 4 rounds/min, and the maximum range is 28.4 km, and when firing rocket extended range projectiles, the maximum firing range is 33 km. 152 mm caliber shells, which can easily destroy general reinforced concrete fortifications.

In addition, the kind with a turret belongs to the 2S19 type 152mm self-propelled howitzer, which has just completed the finalization, and in later generations, it was equipped with the Soviet army in 88, and the total combat weight is 42.5 tons. The crew of 7 people, consisting of the 2A65 type 152 mm gun barrel and the T-80 tank chassis, because it is no longer open-topped, the survivability of the soldiers has been greatly improved, but unfortunately the lack of automatic fire control system and automatic positioning and orientation system, independent combat ability is poor. The ammunition is also not compartmentalized, and the survival rate is low.

Now, these two self-study artillery pieces constitute the main force of the strike, 152 mm shells, enough to bombard all kinds of buildings, and the other kind, 122 mm MLRS, that is simply a good surface kill weapon.

The promenade of rocket artillery has a high degree of accuracy. Not suitable for accurate shooting, after firing, it will cover a wide offensive surface, and when the shot is completed, the covered area will be in ruins.

And this BM-21 rocket launcher is a 122-mm 40-barreled self-propelled rocket launcher that the Soviet Union is equipped with in large quantities. Since 1964, the Soviet Army has been equipped with artillery regiments of infantry and tank divisions with a БМ-21 rocket artillery battalion. Equipped with 24 doors. Depending on the model, it is equipped on different launch vehicles. Almost all of them are wheeled truck chassis.

The Soviet troops waited for two days, on the one hand, for more troops to come and surround them, and on the other hand, for the transportation of these artillery fires, and when they first entered Afghanistan, they mainly used tanks. Later, it was found that the tank was not easy to use, so it was replaced with an armored vehicle, and now, in need of artillery fire, this batch of artillery fire was urgently transferred from the country.

Due to limited quantity. Therefore, they can only start attacking from one direction, and the first target is the west.

Osama did not know that the Soviet commander on the opposite side took such good care of himself that he came up and used these artillery fire to entertain himself, and when Osama discovered these artillery fire, he immediately gave his first official battle order: "Retreat!" ”

Remove! When the opponent's artillery fire begins to shoot, the soldiers who are preparing to fight in the fortifications will be hit by the enemy's artillery fire and buried by the buildings, and there is no chance of survival.

Osama was not afraid of sacrifice, but it was worth it, and if he ordered him to hold on now, he would be committing suicide.

The order was given at the right time, and when the fighters retreated back according to the original route, the artillery fire on the opposite side had already begun to fire.

"Boom!" The 152-mm gun, the sound of the cannon shook the sky, and when the shell went out of the muzzle, there was a brilliant flame, and behind, the gun door opened, and a hot shell retreated from inside.

The artillerymen who just covered their ears and hugged their heads back, from the beginning, continued to get on the second shell, no one will laugh at them, this is basic self-protection, however, even if these simple means are used, it is not enough to make up for their hearing damage, anyone who is an artilleryman in the army, after being discharged, will have hearing loss in the ears, and the age of deafness is much earlier than that of ordinary people.

"Boom, boom." The 122mm rocket, not so loud, the loud roar, was the burst of the projectile that pushed the cannon out, and when the high-pressure gas rushed out of the muzzle.

The rocket, after ignition, comes out of the launch tube, and constantly flies forward by its own power, and does not have the conditions for roaring, although the sound is not enough, but when the rocket constantly jumps out of the rocket launch tube, the scene is extremely spectacular.

The Soviet offensive has finally begun!

Artillery roared, rockets flew in, and the first round of heavy fire rushed towards the city on this side.

"Boom!" A 152-mm shell landed in a courtyard, and suddenly, the two rooms in the courtyard and the courtyard wall were overturned at the moment when the shell exploded, and a large crater several meters deep appeared on the ground, and then it was filled by those collapsed walls.

"Boom, boom!" The explosion of the rocket is even more thrilling, when the rocket covers it, there are explosions everywhere, there are shrapnel flying everywhere, you can't see anything clearly, you can only see the dust, and then, this place is like being plowed, completely losing its original appearance.

No one can survive such an attack! All the people will be turned into cold corpses by this shelling, and some will not even have corpses, but will only be reduced to pieces of flesh.

Afghan rebels, let you see the true strength of the Soviet army, you will know what a wrong choice it must have been to come out of the mountains and take the city of Jalalabad!

Looking at this dense artillery coverage, Petrovsky, the commander-in-chief of this mission, the commander of the 40th Army, said: "Our artillery coverage is enough to wipe out all the Afghan rebels here!" ”

"However, there are also civilians who will be implicated." Beside him, said the chief of staff.

"This is what we want to see, to let the local Afghans know that supporting the Free Afghan Army is our enemy! Wherever the Free Afghan Army controls it, the local population will suffer! In this way, they will no longer support the Afghan rebels, and we can make them disappear completely! ”

Along with the military and civilians, this is a psychological tactic of theirs, as for those accusations of the international community outside, they can completely ignore them, that is what Moscow should worry about, what they need is to completely eliminate the Afghan rebels, no matter what means are used!

The intensive artillery fire lasted for two full hours, and almost all the cities on this side were destroyed into ruins.

"Order, the 108th Division, enter the urban area here and completely occupy this side." Petrovsky said.

"Yes."

The order was immediately given, and the 108th Division often surrounded and suppressed the guerrillas here, and in the battles with the guerrillas, they suffered heavy casualties, they were constantly replenished with new recruits, and at the same time the hatred of the Afghan rebels grew.

Now, looking at this side in ruins, the Afghan rebels below must have been wiped out! The division commander Dorofeev sat in a BTR infantry fighting vehicle and followed his own mechanized units into the field.

The wheels pressed against the ruins, and through the periscope, it could be seen that this place had been completely turned into ruins, and there was no one to hide here! In the event of a building that has not collapsed, the 73-mm low-pressure smoothbore gun of the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle will continue to fire and destroy it.

That's it, all the way over, I didn't encounter the slightest resistance, but, is this still the original Jalalabad? The familiar streets are gone, and only these ruins remain. This battle will completely destroy the city of Miè!

Dorofiev stopped thinking about it, in short, his side finally achieved an absolute victory over the Afghan rebels this time!

"There, there's the corpses of our people!" Just then, an infantry squad leader shouted.

On half of the street, which was not destroyed by artillery fire, several soldiers in Soviet uniforms, lying there, blood on their bodies, stained the ground red.

"Squeak!" The armored car stopped, the back door opened, and the fighters of the infantry squad came out of it and walked towards the corpses of their own fighters, who must have been the mechanized battalion from the previous day, or the soldiers of the defenders who had been here.

A Soviet fighter, with grief, turned over the corpse on the ground, and when he saw the grenade under the corpse, his face was shocked, oops, this is a trap!

"Boom!" Without time to react, the grenade exploded, and the soldier was directly killed, and several soldiers nearby were also slightly injured.

"Damn! Sue them, don't move the corpse at will! Dorofeev shouted.

"Report, we have completely occupied the destroyed place, one person killed and six wounded." The situation of the previous battle was reported to Petrovsky.

"Killed? How did you get killed? Petrovsky asked. He still didn't believe that those heavy artillery fire could not destroy the Afghan rebels.

"The deterioration left behind by the Afghan rebels."

Thunder! It seems that the Afghan rebels are left with only these means!

"Inform the 108th Division, stick to the occupied area, and tomorrow we will continue to fight!" Petrovsky said.

The artillery fire was effective, but unfortunately, it was a huge test for logistical supplies, and all the shells had just been fired, and we had to wait for the rear to continue transporting more shells before we could continue to attack. (To be continued......)
