Steel Soviet Union

In order to further increase the attack speed, Varosha, who felt that the firepower was not strong enough, ordered the division's rocket assault tank battalion to be mobilized.

Since the forward attack force has become entangled with the Japanese army, disengagement is impossible due to the immediate tactical need to seize time.

This makes it impossible to call in direct artillery fire from the rear for artillery strikes. There is a high probability that a row of large-caliber artillery shells will hit the sky and blast one's own troops and the Japanese together. It is unrealistic and unfeasible.

But if these army red deer of the Second Division are really naive enough to think that they can use the leader's army as a shield to avoid artillery fire if they are entangled with the leader's army.

That could not be more wrong.

The leader's army has high-end technical equipment, which is more powerful than long-range barrel artillery. It also has strong armor protection and high self-propelled mobility. The TOS-1A, which can get close to the face for direct sight-range artillery bombardment, will be responsible for delivering it. These still tried to entangle the remnants of the recalcitrant Second Division for the last leg.

If the accuracy is poor, make up for it by shortening the distance.

Don't worry about accidental injuries due to insufficient accuracy. As long as you are close enough, there is no such thing as insufficient accuracy.

TOS-1A, which is essentially a "bayonet for the Andryusha rocket launcher", relied on its high tactical mobility advantage derived from the modification of the IS6 chassis to quickly reach the firing line and enter the firing position.

The Japanese troops of the Second Division, who still didn't know what they were about to face, still thought that the new vehicles coming up from the back of the seemingly vast ocean-like torrent of Russian steel in front of them were heavy tanks like these Russian steel monsters.

He didn't realize at all that the steel monster with no turret and just a large square iron box on top was far more terrifying than the heavy tanks in front of him.

It was also recognized that the Japanese army's direct fire anti-armor firepower was weak. After most of the Japanese tanks were eliminated, the remaining infantry's direct fire anti-armor firepower was rounded to almost no.

On the Eastern Front battlefield, I was also worried about the ubiquitous infantry anti-armor weapons of the Germans, and I was worried that the TOS-1A would be taken away by a wave of Panzerfaust, tank-kill, and anti-tank missile packages that hit the launcher. Now that I have lost all these worries, I drove directly to a location within one kilometer and less than 800 meters away from the Japanese army.

Mix in your own offensive formation, slightly lift the launch box at the tank's regular combat distance, and fire directly at a low angle.

The moment when the dense firelight burst out was only within a second's reach.

"Full battalion half-box salvo, ready to—fire!!!"

Boo hoo hoo hoo——

The Japanese army, who still didn't know what happened, was still fighting desperately for the last second, trying to resist the rolling torrent of steel with their flesh and blood bodies with crazy counterattacks.

The next second, I saw a sudden burst of flames in the Russian offensive formation. Countless huge flying projectiles with shrill screams and trailing orange-red tail flames came directly towards their faces like wasps that exploded their nests.

"Then what is that-"

"She's shelling! The Russians are shelling me! Get down—"

Boom boom boom boom——

Sensing that something was wrong, a certain Japanese soldier who was hiding with him subconsciously wanted to remind his comrades. Before he could even finish his words, he could only hear loud explosions like thunder falling around him one after another.

"Damn it! Was there an earthquake!? What happened!?"

"Oh my God, the bombardment is Russian bombardment! God, look at those Japanese monkeys, they're finished! They're all finished!"

"Hell, this power is almost the same as an air force formation bombing! Fortunately, it didn't fall on our heads!"

Witnessing this scene through the optical sighting equipment in a Tiger tank was still shocking, and I was muttering to myself that what these German armored soldiers didn't know was.

This terrifying destructive power had actually been eaten up by their comrades on the Eastern Front battlefield. These "land bombers" invented by Malashenko have now fallen on the Japanese. At best, they are just following in the footsteps of the Germans.

Hundreds of roaring 310mm heavy rockets, after a short flight time of only a few seconds from launch to landing, did not even give the Japanese army a chance to escape, and they concentrated on the Japanese array. In the center, it fell and exploded into a sea of ​​fire.

A half-box salvo fired by the whole battalion produced a terrifying destructive force similar to that of a tactical bomber formation, vaporizing any Japanese flesh, blood or objects it came into contact with within the explosion radius.

If you have the opportunity to look down from the sky at this time, you will find that the entire field formation of the Japanese army, which was originally relatively complete, has become like a dog catching a large piece of dry cheese in the middle, with only the edges left. The Japanese army still has some remaining troops and is relatively intact.

As for the middle part, apart from the violently rising flames and the large craters one after another comparable to those dropped by small aerial bombs, there is no trace of the presence or struggle of the Japanese troops.

"What happened in 1945? Did our people fight against such Russian monsters in East Prussia and Berlin? How did the Russians become like this!? I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all! "

The gunners who had been hesitant not long ago were afraid that firing on the Japanese would lead to doomed gunners.

Now I have completely surrendered to the extremely terrifying and destructive firepower of the Russians. I can't say anything except shock and confusion.

As the commander of the vehicle, Stauffener had no intention of ridiculing the gunner, because his own condition was not much better.

Regarding the Russian combat effectiveness in the second half of 1944 and until his own defeat in 1945, Stauffener himself, who was completely stuck in the stage of imagination and text description, did not expect it.

Just over a year later, the Russian firepower has evolved to such a terrifying level, even more powerful than the Stalin Division in my original impression.

In a field battle with such an opponent on the plains, there is basically no possibility of defeating them in a head-on confrontation, at least not with the same number and size of troops.

Even with five times the force and the best technical equipment of the German army, Stauffener was not confident that he could defeat such a monster enemy that used army means to create air force bombing-level destructive power.

Fortunately, my original judgment was correct and my choice was wise.

Instead of following these Japanese monkeys who had no idea what horror was, they went straight to the dark side and finally embarked on the road to destruction.

Now that Stauffener was witnessing this scene, he was extremely shocked, but also felt extremely lucky and happy in his heart.

But before Stauffener's feeling of joy lasted too long, a command call from the Russians came from the radio channel.

"German commander, we are tearing apart the last resistance of the Japanese army! Cooperate with us to launch a counterattack, quickly! The Japanese army's threat to you has been eliminated, counterattack immediately!"

Of the 22 Tigers in his hand, except for two that had their tracks broken by the Japanese and were unable to move, the remaining 20 still had relatively complete combat capabilities. Stauffener knew that he could still fight and fight, and his unthinking words immediately followed the press of the button. The movements of the throat microphone blurted out.

"I am the German commander. The order has been received! Launch a counterattack now. Please pay attention to the blue identification flag so as not to accidentally hurt us. Thank you for your rescue."
