Take Taobao to fight against Japan

After hanging up the phone, Zhukov immediately entered the working state, began to quickly adjust the defensive deployment, and adopted various effective defensive measures.

Zhukov transferred the anti-aircraft artillery units to Uritsk-Pulkovo and other high grounds to use anti-aircraft artillery to fight tanks.He also concentrated various cannons, including naval guns, in key areas for unified use.

An artillery fire system was deployed on the way forward of the German army, including self-propelled rocket launchers, naval guns, anti-aircraft guns and other cannons, forming a dense artillery barrier in the main direction to coordinate with the infantry.

Then, Zhukov went to the front line to inspect in person, and only then did he discover that the discipline of the front line troops was lax, like a mess of loose sand. Some division commanders withdrew from the battle without receiving orders, and many soldiers ran away as soon as they heard the gunshots.

For these situations, Zhukov immediately had to take the most severe measures and began to rectify morale and discipline problems.

So Zhukov issued a strict order: Anyone who dereliction of duty will be executed.

In order to make the order more powerful, he arrested and executed a group of officers and soldiers who deserted their posts and defected to the enemy and treason, and disbanded some companies with bad atmosphere and reassigned soldiers.Zhukov also vigorously rectified the irresponsible and serious formalism in the military organs.

After rectification, the combat effectiveness of the troops was greatly improved. Zhukov carefully formulated a plan to strengthen the city defense. The Soviet army concentrated a large number of antiaircraft guns and ships in the most dangerous areas and strategic locations, and mobilized troops to establish defense in depth.

In order to strengthen the defense, Zhukov also divided the whole city into 6 defensive sections.A strong position based on the battalion defense area was established in each section. In addition, all the women were organized to build roadblocks throughout the city and dig tank-proof trenches around the city.

After Zhukov carried out the ground air defense construction, he also made the worst plan, which was the contingency measures after the German army broke into Leningrad.

Zhukov ordered the installation of landmines inside factories, bridges and public facilities, so that if the enemy entered the city, these buildings would be blown up along with the enemy.

Zhukov also distributed weapons and ammunition to the residents, and did a lot of organizational work, turning Leningrad into an impenetrable fortress.

1941年7月29日上午，德国第41装甲军和第18集团军组成北突击集团突进到了列宁格勒城南20公里斯卢茨克地区。

The 7th Army of the Northern Front and the 23rd Army of the Soviet Leningrad Front, which were in charge of guarding the area, resisted desperately, and an extremely fierce life-and-death battle broke out again.

Chapter 1153

There were still 3 days left before the time set by the head of state. In order to complete the task, Loeb worked hard and decided to fight hard at all costs.

Similarly, the German Northern Army Group also fought hard.

The three combat directions have once again strengthened their offensive strength. The German offensive has reached its climax. It intends to completely break through all of Leningrad's outer defense lines within today, completely cut off Leningrad's land communication channels, and then approach the city to bombard Leningrad. Into a piece of ruins, and then won it all at once.

It's not light today.The aviation force dispatched nearly 300 sorties to bomb the Slutsk area in 6 waves, followed by artillery bombardment for another 5 hours.

It was not until 10 o'clock in the morning that the German infantry launched a fierce attack on the Slutsk area and the Pulkovo Heights under the cover of the German tank group.

Standing on a high ground with a telescope, Zhukov carefully observed the battlefield in front of him where there was a fierce exchange of fire.

Standing next to Zhukov were several senior Soviet generals, all of whom looked extremely anxious, because the German attack was too fierce. From the very beginning of the exchange of fire, the 7th Army and the 23rd Army fell directly into a disadvantage and were beaten. I couldn't hold my head up at all.

Although thanks to the firmness, completeness, and large scale of the fortification system, coupled with the bravery and fearlessness of the Soviet Red Army, the attack efficiency of the powerful German troops was slow, but after all, they could not stop the Germans from attacking.

If this line of defense is breached by the Germans again, Leningrad's last land channel for external communication will also be cut off, and the German army will truly be at the gates of the city.

For the Soviet Red Army guarding Leningrad, it was already a last stand, and if they retreated to Leningrad, they would be directly exposed to the artillery of the German army, and the Soviet army could only fight street battles with the German army in the city!

The line of defense tens of kilometers long in front of us is a steel line of defense completed by hundreds of thousands of people in Leningrad who fought day and night for more than 100 days.

On this piece of land with a radius of tens of square kilometers, the Soviet people built civil trenches and underground passages with a total length of more than 400 kilometers, excavated and built a large number of anti-tank trenches and anti-tank cones, and buried a large number of anti-tank mines and infantry. Landmines, countless steel wire fences were pulled up, and a large number of permanent fortifications such as bunkers and bunkers were built.

Under the heroic fighting of the Soviet people, this piece of green plain has abruptly turned into a wild steel fortress.

Every inch of land here is covered with hot sweat, full of the determination of the Soviets to resist the war, the steel will of unity, as well as the infinite desire to survive and soaring hatred!

But now the brave and fearless Soviet Red Army is relying on the various fortifications on this position, using all the weapons and equipment around it, and fighting the Nazi-fascist invaders with blood and life!

On a position of the 7th Army of the Soviet Army’s Northern Front, Lieutenant Vlasov was lying on the trench with a Thomson submachine gun in his hand, rushing frantically at a German Panzer IV tank that was making a rapid assault, trying to kill the kneeling German infantry fighting in coordination behind.

Da da da, the gun barrel spewed out flames, and after a while, a string of metal bullets splashed sparks on the steel armor of the German tank.

But unfortunately, these bullets have no way to hit the German infantry hiding behind the tank, let alone cause damage to the German tank.

"Damn German! Go to hell!"

At this moment, not far from Captain Vlasov, a Soviet Red Army soldier carrying a bazooka anti-tank rocket launcher yelled, and then saw a rocket roaring out with a long tail flame.

Boom, a moment later, with a shocking explosion, a German tank exploded and turned into a pile of burning scrap iron.

The fragments and overpressure shock waves from the explosion turned into lethal weapons, and several German soldiers around the tank were either killed or injured.

However, before the Soviet Red Army had time to cheer, a tank shell hit the Soviet Red Army, together with the anti-tank bazooka on his shoulders, instantly fell apart.

Hot blood and flesh and blood were scattered all over the place, and young lives disappeared in smoke.

"Damn Germans! Let's die together!"

In a melee battlefield filled with gunpowder, several Soviet Red Army soldiers rushed out of the foxhole holding a magnetic anti-tank mine, trying to blow up these damn German tanks.

However, as soon as they took a few steps, the heavy machine guns of the German tanks and the rifles in the hands of the German infantry shot out tongues of flame one after another. Under a series of bullets, these Soviet Red Army soldiers were beaten into sieves on the spot and sacrificed heroically.

On another battlefield, when a German tank ran over a foxhole, the Soviet Red Army hiding inside did not hesitate to stick a magnetic anti-tank mine under the tank.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, the German tank was blown to the ground, while the Soviet Red Army was blown to pieces and merged with the mud under their feet.

There is no way to fight tanks with flesh and blood. There are too many German aircraft, tanks and cannons. The various anti-tank weapons of the Soviet Red Army consume a lot. To die with the torrent of steel of the Germans.

The brutal and fierce battle continued, and the entire battlefield became a giant flesh mill, devouring young lives every moment.

The sound of cannons, explosions, gunshots, shouts, fighting, and howling, intertwined and mixed together, turned into tragic symphonies of death and epic hymns of resistance!

"Comrade Zhukov, the German army has already broken through two lines of defense, and we only have the last line of defense left. We cannot drag on any longer! The blood of the Soviet Red Army is about to be drained!"

General Hozin, Chief of Staff of the Leningrad Front, had been crying for a long time, his eyes were red and his cheeks were stained with tears.

It was only 2 hours since the battle officially started, and he felt as if a century had passed, because at every moment, countless Red Army soldiers fell forever under his nose.

"Well, the time is ripe! Here"

Zhukov nodded with a serious face, then nodded to Lieutenant Colonel Ferelov, the commander of the rocket launcher, and said: "The victory or defeat of this battle depends on you!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ferelov saluted solemnly, threw his arms away and ran away.

"The front-line troops called and told them to prepare to withdraw from the battle and wait for the shelling to end before charging back with all their strength!"

For this battle, Zhukov really fought hard, and transferred all 70 self-propelled rocket launchers assisted by Yang Fan, and hid them in several underground bunkers early.

It wasn't until the German planes and cannons rounded over and over again, and the German tanks, that Zhukov ordered the rocket artillery troops to enter the preset position to start the ultimate killer move.

Chapter 1154 Success or failure depends on one move

While Zhukov was watching the formation on the front line, German Field Marshal Loeb was also watching the formation behind the battlefield. This closed-door battle was also very important for the German army, and it was directly related to whether it was possible to complete the task assigned by the head of state.

Beside Buhler also stood General Reinhardt of the 41st Panzer Corps and General Küchler, commander of the 18th Army.

However, unlike Zhukov and others, Buhler and other German generals looked extremely relaxed, and they were talking and laughing happily.

Although the battle ahead was fierce, every step the German army advanced would pay a heavy price in casualties.But they didn't have the slightest distress and regret. In their eyes, these fresh lives were just war chess pieces for consumption.

After Küsseler put down the binoculars, he turned his head to look at Buhler and said with a smile: "Marshal Buhler, the encirclement of Petersburg is getting tighter and tighter. Petersburg is within easy reach. We have every hope of capturing it within three days."

Reinhardt pointed to the armored group that was gradually advancing on the battlefield in front of him, and said proudly: "Yes, the Third Reich is the Third Reich after all. Although the Soviets are stubborn and brave, the Soviet Union's strength is exhausted. In the end, they can only is a loser."

"We have disappointed the head of state once, and there must be no second time. We must not take it lightly until we achieve complete success! Let the troops continue to strengthen the offensive, we must attack the city of Petersburg before dark."

Buhler's words seemed very humble, but he couldn't restrain the excitement and smile on his face. In his eyes, the victory had already belonged to the Third Reich, and no matter how tenaciously the Soviets resisted, it was nothing more than a futile death struggle. .

In fact, I really don’t blame Buhler and other German generals for their pride and blind self-confidence. It is indeed because the current battlefield situation is very obvious, that is, the German army has completely gained the upper hand and is advancing steadily, constantly smashing the huge defense that the Soviets have worked so hard to build. system.

However, there is a good saying, pretending to be struck by lightning, just when Buhler and others were full of ambition and determined to win, black spots with long tail flames suddenly rose in the distant sky, and there were more and more. It quickly formed a dense piece.

"Marshal Buhler, look at what that is?"

Reinhardt was the first to notice the abnormality, and his pupils constricted immediately. Although he didn't quite know what these things were, his keen intuition told him very clearly that "those who come without kindness don't come."

"Oh my God, what's that?"

Old Loeb was also a girl with a yellow flower on the sedan chair. It was the first time he encountered such a situation. How could he know what it was?

"It's not the secret weapon of the Soviets, is it?"

Kushiler's complexion changed drastically. Although he had never heard of or seen rocket launchers, the only thing he could think of at the moment was that the Soviets had played tricks.

"Oh my God, look, what are those?"

"My God, what is that?"

"No, something big is going to happen!"

Soon, the German officers and soldiers who were fighting fiercely on the front line also discovered the situation one after another. They all looked up at the rockets that were constantly rising into the sky in the distance, and watched them fly rapidly with their long tail flames.

There are a total of 80 122mm self-propelled rocket launchers concentrated here, and 3200 rocket shells can be blasted out in one shot. The visual effect is naturally overwhelming and shocking!

Even though the Germans had never seen rockets before, they knew something bad was going to happen, and the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became dignified.

The German officers and soldiers seemed to be frozen in an instant. They all looked at the sky in unison, and their hearts kept sinking. Everyone's hearts almost collapsed at this moment!

"Damn Germans, you all go to hell!"

"Quick, retreat immediately! Enter the bunker!"

"Notify the reserve troops and prepare for battle. After the shelling is over, the whole army will attack!"

"Be sure to hit hard! Kill all these vicious invaders!"

Zhukov and others were full of hope and murderous intent. "Ten years of sharpening a sword", today they can finally draw their swords out of their sheaths, and finally launch a large-scale Jedi counterattack.

For today's debut of the Rocket Artillery Force, everyone from Stalin to every rocket artillery soldier in charge of carrying out the mission is all full of energy, and all have placed strong expectations and hopes!

Whether it is dead or alive, mule or horse, depends on today's result!

After receiving 22 70mm self-propelled rocket launchers on the 122nd of last month, Stalin immediately ordered a rehearsal and test firing, and went to the scene to watch the test firing results in person on the same day.

There is no doubt that the 122 self-propelled rocket launcher completely crushes the current imperfect Katyusha rocket launcher in terms of maneuverability, explosion effect, shelling accuracy, and range.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods, Stalin and a group of senior Soviet generals were all dumbfounded, and were deeply shocked on the spot.

Then everyone cried and screamed, and all the negative emotions such as despair, hatred, and anger that had been suppressed for a long time were released.

Yes, such a magical weapon does have too much operability, and it can really play an unimaginable role when used well.

It is also because of this that Stalin and others can see a glimmer of hope and see the powerful support of powerful allies!

Stalin once again deeply thanked Xia Chenhou, and strongly proposed to support this self-propelled rocket launcher as soon as possible. After some in-depth communication, President Roosevelt of the United States happily accepted the new order and added more orders for Dongxing Trading companies are responsible for "ordering and selling".

Just three days ago, the second batch of aid materials escorted by Dongxing Trading Group Company secretly arrived at the port of Arkhangelsk in the Soviet Union.

The overall value of this batch of aid materials is as high as 5000 million U.S. dollars. In addition to miscellaneous equipment and materials, the biggest one is 2000 self-propelled rocket launchers and 166 rocket launchers worth more than 39.8 million U.S. dollars!

In order to help the dying Soviets continue their lives slowly, President Roosevelt also worked hard to pack up all the self-propelled rocket launchers and supporting shells produced by working overtime and hand them over to Dongxing Trading Company for emergency sent to the Soviet Union.

Here I have to say the last sentence, the large-scale industrial production in the United States is ferocious. As long as you put in all your strength, whether it is an airplane, a cannon, or a warship, it will be like a dumpling, and the top-notch kung fu will be freshly baked.

Although the industrial production capacity of the west coast of the United States has been seriously weakened by the crazy harassment of the Japanese combined fleet, it can still barely meet the needs of the Soviet Union, the British army, and its own weapons and equipment.

Chapter 1155

With this batch of 166 latest arrivals, added up front and back, the Soviet Union has a full 236 122mm self-propelled rocket launchers, plus 15 self-produced Katyusha rocket launchers, the Soviet army directly formed a whole new 5 rocket artillery regiments.

At the same time, after more than a month of emergency training, hundreds of Soviet rocket artillerymen have completed the training and have mastered the operation skills of rocket artillery.

Holding back his energy and doing enough foreplay, it was not until today's critical moment that Zhukov sacrificed this big killer.

236 22mm self-propelled rocket launchers plus 15 Katyusha rocket launchers were deployed in three blocking directions and went into war at the same time.

The purpose is to give the German army a big surprise, use the thunderbolt method to directly stun the German attacking troops, and launch a beautiful Jedi counterattack. While hitting the invaders severely, the next dose of medicine will boost the morale of the army and the people!

The Germans didn't have to wait long, the first round of concentrated fire launched by the Soviet rocket artillery unit fell to the ground with fierce roars and endless killing intent. Crazy explosion in the queue!

The overwhelming rocket shells fell straight down like a torrential rain, followed by a series of shocking explosions, which continued to explode.

Clouds of black gunpowder smoke soared into the sky, and the earth-shattering explosion sound waves and overpressure shock waves, one wave higher than the other, rippling towards the surroundings with lightning speed, rippling every inch of the surrounding land, every inch Space, crushing and destroying all living lives within the absolute death radius!

The high-speed fragments produced by the explosion caused waves of death metal storms. No flesh and blood could withstand their blows. Under the impenetrable fragments storm, it is unknown how many German soldiers should have been cut off. He cut off his head, cut off his limbs and body, and died on the spot before he could even howl.

As for the more than 300 German tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery that were still raging on the battlefield before, don't even try to please them.

Although the caliber of the 122mm rocket shell is a circle smaller than that of the 155mm howitzer shell, it can't hold up to the burly ammunition.

Like a thin-skinned tank and armored self-propelled artillery, not to mention that a single hit can only result in a car crash, even if it is within the death explosion radius, it can only end in a car crash.

Even if it is a heavy tank with rough skin and thick flesh, if it takes a violent blow, even if the thick armor will not be directly blasted and penetrated, the overpressure shock wave and shock wave generated by the explosion are enough to destroy the internal organs of the tank soldiers hidden inside the tank. Shattered, shaken to death alive.

Pieces of battlefields were directly emptied by dense rocket shells. All life, all armored tanks, all weapons and equipment, and all surface fortifications collapsed without exception under the endless explosions and soaring smoke until they were wiped out. , turned into powder fragments, and piles of broken ruins.

The combat effectiveness of a 122 rocket launcher is completely comparable to that of a heavy artillery battalion. A total of 80 122 rocket launchers are fully fired at the same time, which is completely equivalent to the entire combat effectiveness of 80 heavy artillery battalions. "Four words to describe.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this?"
