Steel Soviet Union

It's a coincidence that if it weren't for Colonel Klose's order to make the final preparations before the bombardment, the Il-2 pilots, who could only look down from the sky and had poor visibility, would most likely not be able to find the enemy's artillery positions. location. read

Colonel Klose's order became the last fuse to bury the German artillery. The artillery positions lined up in a row, not dense but rigorous, with a unique German flavor, looked like they were spread out from the sky. Just like the military parade formation at a distance, it is so tangible at a glance.

What's even more terrible is that because the shelling to cover the retreat just now consumed a lot of ammunition, the German self-propelled artillery that wants to launch another large-scale shelling will inevitably need to replenish their ammunition.

The influx of a large number of ammunition supply trucks has made the density of vehicles in the same area even denser. In addition, there is something wrong with keeping the vehicles so neat and orderly.

During the dive, the Soviet pilot noticed something was wrong after a casual glance. He decided to give it a try. He turned the nose of the aircraft with a swivel of the joystick and rushed straight towards the nearest German armor within visual distance. The vehicle fired the remaining four rounds of 132mm aviation rockets, and by the way, it also squeezed the trigger and fired a series of large-caliber cannon barrages to add some spice.

This head-and-shoulder attack immediately sounded the final death knell for the German artillery position.

The 132mm large-caliber aviation rocket trailed an orange-red tail flame, pierced the fragile steel plate of the ammunition transport vehicle, and exploded.

This powerful warhead explosion at extremely close range instantly caused a chain reaction. The remaining ten rounds of 150mm projectiles and propellants in the ammunition transport vehicle exploded on the spot. The huge explosion directly destroyed the vehicle without heavy armor protection. The ammunition transport truck was torn to pieces.

Another unlucky person was affected: right next to this ammunition transport vehicle, a 150mm "Bumblebee" self-propelled artillery was being replenished with ammunition.

The design of the open fighting room was originally conducive to the performance of artillery and was a good thing, but no one would have thought that this design would be more ferocious when it took people's lives.

Several German artillerymen who had not yet had time to escape from the car were buried with the car. The moment the earth-shaking firestorm swept into the car, it devoured everything around it: shells, flesh and blood, and metal and mechanical parts. All are caught up in it.

The shells that had been supplied to the car added fuel to the fire, like a chemical reaction injected with a catalyst, and then turned into an even more powerful and shocking explosion.

All this happened so briefly and quickly, in just a few seconds. The Soviet pilot who was driving the War Eagle and had already entered the climbing state only felt an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly coming from behind him. The Il-2 attack aircraft below were shaken by the shock wave that came instantly.

"Damn it! What the hell is that in that car? A whole load of explosives?"

The Soviet pilots who forcibly held the control stick in their hands were still busy adjusting the flying posture of the war eagle and did not care about anything else. However, the other comrades hovering in the sky over the battlefield could only see everything that happened on the ground. That makes it clear.

Such a loud chain reaction explosion was definitely not caused by destroying a German tank. It was at least the sound that could be created by stacking piles of shells together and exploding.

The explosion was so violent and caused a chain reaction. It was obvious what kind of situation could trigger such a movement.

If the explosion just now didn't contain a large amount of ammunition that exploded simultaneously, I'm afraid this would be a strange thing.

The Soviet pilots, who would rather kill by mistake than let it go, did not miss this opportunity. Immediately, eight Il-2 attack aircraft swung their noses and immediately broke away from the circle, roaring and diving towards the German positions below. And down.

The German anti-aircraft guns were already firing, and the bright green tracer barrages cut through the sky leaving fiery trails. Although the IL-2 attack aircraft is strong and can withstand beatings, it is by no means invincible enough to withstand anti-aircraft artillery. If a string of anti-aircraft artillery barrages hits you, it will most likely cause you to kneel down, and most likely it will crash on the spot.

But even if the situation was like this, knowing the high risk, the Il-2 attack aircraft still had no fear as they rushed downwards despite the German anti-aircraft firepower.

During the combat mission arrangement meeting before takeoff, the importance of this mission was already understood from the mouth of the regiment leader. This seemingly inconspicuous ground battle is directly related to the success or failure of the entire theater battle. It is so important that every soldier with faith should fight for it and even sacrifice his life.

Seeing this, another group of IL-2 attack planes were already changing their attack direction to cover their comrades. The violently roaring crimson wing cannon barrages swept straight towards the German anti-aircraft guns like fire dragons.

The German soldiers who were operating anti-aircraft cannons in the open truck compartment could not withstand such crazy baptism. They were immediately hit by the terrifying kinetic energy of the large-caliber projectiles that could penetrate light armor. Their arms and legs were flying around, and their internal organs were torn apart. It was scattered all over the ground and turned into a puddle of minced meat.

The final outcome was nothing more than being shot on the spot with a cannon, and turned into a pile of mixed fragments of flesh and metal that could no longer play any role.

A small number of German anti-aircraft guns that were quickly killed were silenced on the spot, which allowed another group of Il-2s that rushed towards the suspected German artillery positions to attack more smoothly.

As the dive distance continued to shorten, the ground targets that became larger and larger became increasingly clear. The Soviet pilots with excellent eyesight finally saw clearly when they approached the last few hundred meters of dive distance and were about to launch rockets. The true identity of the German targets on the ground was confirmed, which were self-propelled artillery guns with high barrels!

"Gotcha! Accept the warm greetings of communism, fascist pig!"

Boo hoo hoo——

Dong dong dong——

Woo——

The cannons and rockets fired simultaneously, and the scream of the aerial bombs falling off their pylons mixed with the roar of the propellers and spread throughout the sky.

The mixed sound was so harsh and sharp, but was immediately replaced by an even more deafening explosion.

The fate of the German artillery position was already doomed when the first Hornet and ammunition transport truck were destroyed. The preparations for the artillery attack, which were originally intended to destroy the enemy, ended up being an act of digging graves for one's own people.

The huge explosions that kept making loud noises in the chain reaction soon merged into one, and the huge explosion power made the entire earth tremble and shake.

What will be left after destruction? Who can say clearly about this kind of thing?

The only thing that is certain is that this German self-propelled artillery unit, which Colonel Klose relied on as his last trump card, will be completely obliterated and cease to exist.
