In 1944, the war on the Eastern Front battlefield had entered a white-hot stage, and the situation was in a stalemate, and the battle for every inch of land was related to the direction of the war. In the Smolensk region, the defense lines between the Soviet and Germans intertwined, and this place became the frontier position for fierce confrontation between the two sides. The mist in the morning had not completely dissipated, and six Soviet infantry divisions had already assembled on the front line. They were determined in their pace and high in morale, and their targets were directly aimed at the German defense line. With a command, the attack began. The Soviet soldiers rushed forward like a tide, and their advancement was extremely rapid. The tracks of the T-34 tank were crushed into deep ravines on the scorched earth. The commanders leaned out of the open hatch and observed the outline of the German second line of defense with telescopes - it was abnormally quiet. "Ula!" The charge of the 79th Infantry Division penetrated the sky, and young soldiers wearing ship-shaped hats jumped out of the trenches. They found that there were only sporadic gunfire on the German positions, as if the defenders had already lost their fighting spirit in the face of the torrent of steel. With their rich combat experience and tenacious fighting will, they soon broke through the first line of defense of the German army. The cheers of the soldiers echoed on the position, without any pause, and then continued to advance towards the second line of defense.
"We just watched the defense line be broken?" A veteran of German sergeant said helplessly. Anger and doubt were revealed in his eyes. In his heart, the German army should not have given up their positions so easily. "What? Do you want to fight back?" The platoon leader next to him glanced at him, with a mysterious smile in his eyes. The platoon leader's attitude made the sergeant even more confused. He didn't understand why the platoon leader was so calm. "Just retreating so frustratedly, unlike our style." The sergeant squad leader couldn't help but ask curiously. In his perception, the German army has always been known for its bravery and good combat, and this kind of active retreat is really puzzling. "Just wait to watch the show, you will be beaten soon." The platoon leader replied, and then continued to close his eyes and rest. His tone was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control. Although the sergeant was full of doubts, he could only suppress his curiosity and wait for what was about to happen. In the underground bunker five kilometers deep in the second line of defense, Sergeant Hans Schneider anxiously wiped the MP40 submachine gun. The roar of Soviet tank engines in the distance came from the ventilation duct, which shocked the concrete walls. The veteran who participated in the Kiev siege turned to look at the platoon leader who was resting with his eyes closed: "Captain, are we just trampling the honor of the entire Don River Army Group?" Captain Joachim's silver SS captain shone coldly under the kerosene lamp. He slowly took out his pocket watch, and the Prussian eagle engraved on the cover appeared in the smoke: "Be patient, Schneider. When the wolves gave up their nests, it was not cowardly, but to bring the hunters into the minefield." Suddenly, a rapid knock came from the observation whistle. Through the periscope, the Soviet engineers were setting up communication antennas on the first line of defense. Several Red Army officers stood on the T-34 turret and gestured rudely towards the direction of the German positions. Further away, the transport vehicle of the Katyusha rocket launcher is unfolding its support. "They even saved basic tactical reconnaissance." Joachim sneered at the corner of his mouth, turned around and grabbed the field phone: "I notified the observation station in the rear that all the red puppets have entered the stage." After breaking through the first line of defense, the Soviet infantry on the opposite side gradually became more courageous from the original caution.
They were wandering around the positions, and some even began to mock the German army. "The combat effectiveness is nothing more than that." A Soviet soldier laughed loudly, his face filled with the joy of victory. "It seems that he was really scared." Another soldier echoed, his tone full of contempt. "No, no, no, there must be a conspiracy here." There are still some experienced Soviet soldiers who are still vigilant. They believe that the German army's voluntary retreat is not simply to show weakness, but they racked their brains and couldn't figure out whether the German army was planning. What. In order to ensure safety, the Soviet army also sent reconnaissance aircraft to conduct careful reconnaissance of the surrounding airspace, focusing on whether there were signs of rocket attacks. However, after some search, no abnormalities were found. The Soviet commanders breathed a little relieved. They thought the German army might really be weak, so they chose to retreat. So they continued to command the troops to advance, preparing to break through the German second line of defense in one go. On the other hand, at the German V2 missile base, the atmosphere was tense and depressing. Dr. Brian and others were staring at the data sent by the Air Force with all their attention. These data are the key basis for their next actions. According to data, although the Soviet army only dispatched six infantry divisions, these troops should not be underestimated on the 20-kilometer defense line. After all, the strength of the Soviet army at this time is no longer the same as before, and it is no longer the army that could easily be broken through the defense line by the German army two years ago. The current Soviet army has greatly improved both in terms of equipment and tactics. When they attack, either armored troops would be in charge, or artillery would be opened, and they would no longer easily charge the sea of people. Dr. Brian is well aware of the arduousness and importance of this mission. Missile launch is an extremely complicated and troublesome thing. First, carefully load the warhead into the ballistics to ensure that every part is installed in place. At the same time, propellant and oxidant must be loaded accurately, and the ratio of these two directly affects the range and power of the missile. During the loading process, any small mistake can lead to a launch failure or even cause a serious accident. At the same time, the missile forces quickly entered the launch position and began to prepare for combat nervously. They need to complete a series of preparations in a short period of time, including a comprehensive survey of the launch site. Among them, factors such as wind direction, wind speed, humidity, and air pressure are crucial. Because these factors will have an impact on the missile's flight trajectory, only by accurately grasping these data can we ensure that the missile can accurately hit the target. Finally, the soldiers also need to use the latitude and gyro calibration instruments and gyro calibration instruments to accurately mark the position of the attack target. In an era without satellite positioning, this is the only way to determine the target position. Although this method is cumbersome and requires a lot of time and effort, it is a key link in ensuring the missile hit rate. This series of operations completely tests the professional quality and collaborative combat capabilities of a unit. "Report, missile vehicle No. 1 is ready!" a soldier shouted loudly, his voice full of tension and excitement. "Report, the No. 2 missile vehicle is ready!" Immediately afterwards, another soldier's voice came.
"Report, Missile Vehicle No. 3..." "Report, No. 4..." “…” A series of reports echoed in the base, making Dr. Brian's mood even more nervous. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. Then, he slowly said to the officer beside him: "Start!" The order was issued, and hundreds of V2 missile launchers started instantly. The missiles were like angry dragons, and were launched murderously from the transport-mounted vertical launch vehicle. The missile cut through the sky, leaving behind white trails, and galloped towards the Soviet position. The range of the V2 missile is between 300 kilometers. It can adjust the range according to the height of the elevation, and the flight time is generally 165-313 seconds. In other words, you can hear the shocking explosion in at most three minutes. "God blesses!" "Long live the empire!" Dr. Brian muttered a few words in his heart, and then returned to the command car. He knew that the next few minutes would determine the outcome of the battle, and he was waiting for the casualties report there, and he was both nervous and expectant. The Soviet reconnaissance planes made great plans, but they did not expect to go to Smolensk to conduct reconnaissance, so they did not reconnaissance these missiles hidden in the dark. Otherwise, with Marshal Zhukov's caution, he would never give an order to attack. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Unfortunately, it was too late. One minute and fifty seconds later, the V2 missile had already arrived over the Soviet infantry division's formation in the blink of an eye. At this time, the Soviet soldiers who had just occupied the first line of defense were still busy building a temporary command center, and they were completely unaware that the **** of death had arrived quietly. Suddenly, a huge explosion broke the calm of the battlefield, and then there were continuous explosions. The huge explosion was deafening, making the Soviet soldiers feel a strong tinnitus. They also felt a strong earthquake, as if the whole earth was trembling. At the same time, there was a violent tremor like a meteor falling, making them feel as if they were in the end of the world. "Boom boom boom!" "Boom boom boom!" Explosions were heard one after another on the Soviet position, and the entire position instantly fell into a sea of fire. The huge impact of the missile explosion brought the surrounding soldiers and equipment into the sky. Many soldiers were swallowed by the explosion of air before they could react.
The cannons that were hit instantly turned into a pile of scrap iron. The temporary construction command was also razed to the ground in the explosion, and the commanders' lives and deaths were unknown. The continuous explosions made the German soldiers not far away look dull. They witnessed this scene of ruining the world with their own eyes, and their hearts were filled with shock. They had never seen such a powerful weapon, and in their eyes it was simply the wrath of God. "It's so terrifying. What weapon is this?" a German soldier asked in horror, his voice full of trembling. "This is even more powerful than a large caliber heavy artillery." Another soldier sighed, his face full of shock. "It's scary!" "Is God's Wrath?" The soldiers were talking, but unfortunately no one could answer them. Because the missile is highly confidential, ordinary soldiers do not know its existence at all, and even their division commanders are not qualified to understand these confidential information. As for the platoon leader who had closed his eyes and rested, he also stared into the distance with wide eyes and murmured, "I knew there was a reason, I knew there was a reason, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce." He originally speculated that the German army would definitely test some new weapons. I originally thought it was a rocket launcher, but it turned out to be a V2 missile that was stronger than a rocket launcher. He was both excited and proud in his heart. He was excited that he guessed the German army's plan correctly, and proud that the German army had such powerful weapons. The explosion lasted less than two minutes, but these two minutes were as long as a century for the Soviet army. Six Soviet infantry divisions suffered heavy damage due to large-scale V2 missile attacks. More than thousands of soldiers were killed, and their blood stained the land red. In addition, there were countless artillery destroyed, and the entire position was in a mess. The only shame is that the number of V2 missiles is not large. If the German army could have thousands of V2 missiles, it would be enough to cause the Soviet army to suffer a catastrophe. Although the strike accuracy of the V2 missile has certain deviations, six Soviet infantry divisions have been assembled within a range of 20 kilometers. Even if there is a little error, it will not affect the overall strike effect. Anyway, as long as it can blow people up. The entire position was covered with various huge craters, which were like scars of the earth, witnessing the cruelty of war. Many surviving people were wailing in the crater, struggling in pain, hoping to get help. However, in this chaotic battlefield, rescue work has become extremely difficult. The surviving Soviet soldiers behind him seemed to be frightened when they saw the **** of death appear. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with fear. They yelled wildly, threw down their weapons, turned around and ran away. The situation just now was like the end of the world was approaching, scaring them to the point of being lost and at a loss. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, that is, to run for life. Faced with such a terrifying attack, Marshal Zhukov, who was far away in the rear command, was also stunned after receiving the telegram.
His hand holding the telegram trembled slightly, and an incredible expression appeared on his face. After a long time, a trace of despair appeared on his face. "What kind of weapon is this? The power is so terrifying. What is our intelligence department doing?" Zhukov roared angrily. He doesn't care about the casualties of the six infantry divisions, and at his level, casualties are just a bunch of numbers. He only cares about how many such weapons the German army has. If there are many, then this war will have to be fought for a long time. "Marrior, now is not the time to pursue these things. What should we do? Should we retreat or continue to attack?" Marshal Huaseyev was also shocked by the sudden attack, and he asked anxiously. "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat immediately! I don't know how many such terrifying weapons the German army has. We must understand their strength." Zhukov did not hesitate and immediately issued an order to retreat. At this moment, the German fighter jet that had not appeared suddenly appeared above the battlefield. Looking at the fighter jets covering the sky and the sun, Zhukov's heart ached. He knew that if he did not retreat at this time, the Soviet army would suffer greater losses. So he immediately shouted, "Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Everyone immediately implemented Zhukov's order without any discount. (This chapter is finished)
