Imperial Overlord

The German army can be said to be the most obsessed World War II unit with heavy artillery. Whether it is from leaders or ordinary generals, they like to use heavy artillery.

This habit may have been cultivated since World War I. After all, the cannons of Paris in Germany during World War I can already be said to be world-famous.

During World War II, Germany developed giant artillery, including the K5 train gun and the Gustav cannon, which are much more powerful than their opponents in terms of range and power.

It's a pity that the number can't be mentioned... Although the United States and the Soviet Union are inferior to Germany in the caliber of artillery, they have crushed Germany several times or even dozens of times in the number of artillery.

But today, in Leningrad at this moment, the German artillery must outshine the Soviet Union in terms of quality and quantity.

10 280 mm caliber artillery fired together, the scene is absolutely shocking. What's more, the rate of fire of the K5 train gun is the fastest among large-caliber artillery.

When the shells of the 10 artillery pieces fell, the Soviet troops who were organizing the attack were suddenly suppressed.

Shell after shell exploded, turning night into day. The destruction of the ground shaking and the mountains left the Soviet attacking troops paralyzed in place.

Afterwards, Paul Hauser found that he seemed to want more than ten shells in a row, causing the entire battlefield to stagnate for a moment.

Before he could recover, more shells fell, this time not near the positions of the two armies, but farther away from the Soviet-controlled area.

The number of chaotic explosions was almost inaudible, as if all the German howitzers were firing at the same time, and the raindrops of shells fell into the distance.

That was the roar of the German rocket artillery unit. It was only the rocket artillery unit that could deliver so many shells in one breath in a short period of time.

The only thing that makes people feel a pity is that the shooting accuracy of the rocket itself is too low, so it can only attack the enemy in depth, and cannot suppress the troops near the front line.

Originally, in order to capture Leningrad as soon as possible, the German army concentrated the heavy artillery units on the North Army Group.

Before such a round of artillery fire covered the attack, the Soviet army, who had been imposing just now, had an overwhelming momentum, and immediately seemed to be a little weak in the follow-up.

The German SS Imperial Division, which had been disrupted, also took advantage of this time to rebuild its defense line and replenish its reserves.

The German army, which had regained its combat effectiveness, used the already thin line of defense to block the Soviet attack. Paul Hauser dispatched troops and finally stabilized his defense.

The Soviet army charged like an ocean, and was finally pushed back by the German army's storm-like hail of bullets.

The losses were getting heavier and heavier, and Marshal Voroshilov could only insist on his losses and continue to counterattack regardless of the cost.

After all, he has no chance to do it again. After dawn, he may not even have the strength to defend the line of defense.

In a day at most, the Leningrad line will collapse and the Voroshilov cluster, or the Leningrad cluster, will cease to exist.

"We must continue the attack! We have no chance to rest!" Marshal Voroshilov said to the commander on the front line, holding the phone.

"Your troops are not resting, I know that! But if you rest for an hour, the enemy will rest for an hour too! Then everything will be over!" He gritted his teeth and explained to the officer on the phone.

Although he also knew that his troops had been fighting for two hours, he still did not dare to let the troops who were attacking and suffered heavy losses withdraw to rest.

Because once his attack stops, the Germans will have time to rest. They will strengthen their defenses and mobilize more reinforcements.

It's a pity that he has no reinforcements for the troops on the front line. The two-hour attack just now has cost him thousands of troops, and he really doesn't have many reserves.

The remaining reserves had to fight in the last 100 meters, and let the troops rush into the German-controlled port.

Immediately after that, he could blow up the port and minimize the role of Leningrad, which was his plan.

But now it seems that his plan may not be completed, the counterattack is blocked, and the hope of retaking the port is very small.

For the Soviet Army, the most important advantage of relying on "sudden attack" for tactical purposes has actually been lost.

Now the two sides are fighting a night battle without any skills, lighting up the sky with flares, and then fighting with real swords and guns.

Although the casualties on Germany's side are also huge, the opponent is in a defensive position after all, and naturally many mobilization links can be omitted.

After hanging up the phone, Marshal Voroshilov glanced at the chief of staff beside him and said, "I will lead the reserve team to attack at the last moment, and I will leave the rest to you!"

He said that as he was preparing for his own funeral. The chief of staff nodded silently, without speaking.

Just now, another round of rocket coverage by the German army had turned the original starting position of the Soviet army into a sea of ​​fire.

If it wasn't for Marshal Voroshilov who moved the position forward a great distance, their headquarters might have been overwhelmed by German artillery fire.

Holding his weapon and looking at his watch, Marshal Voroshilov didn't say anything more~www.wuxiaspot.com~ turned around and walked out of a building with only one floor left.

"Comrade Marshal Voroshilov! Your safety..." At the door, the guards responsible for protecting Voroshilov persuaded, and their voices gradually disappeared into the night sky.

Early the next morning, the Soviet army in Leningrad officially surrendered to the German army, leaving about 100,000 remnants of defeated soldiers, basically without any combat effectiveness.

Voroshilov himself disappeared on this day, some say he died in battle, some say he made a deal with the Germans incognito.

The bodies of his guard soldiers were found, about 70 meters away from the port.

In the end, the Soviet counterattack failed, and the Germans held the port and eventually occupied the entire Leningrad.

This great city in the real history of World War II, which was besieged for a long time and never yielded, was declared occupied after 11 days of German onslaught.

The Germans won another strategic victory, but this time the victory was a bit tragic. They lost a total of more than 30,000 soldiers in Leningrad, twice as many as expected.
