Chapter 203 Katyusha appears! Battle of Leningrad!

Everyone was still thinking about the video about the Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States Period.

And a familiar and rapid music sounded again on the sky.

I could hear the music, and within it the sounds of speeches and motorcycles.

Huo Qubing didn't even need to look up.

Then the Great Patriotic War began.

"Great, is it finally Germany's turn to play again?"

"After the video of the Battle of Moscow ended, I kept thinking about the situation of the Soviet-German war at that time."

"We can find out from the battle line map at that time."

"The German army is still the strong side on the battlefield. The next German offensive will be more rapid and more well-prepared."

"But the Soviet Union's will to resist did exceed my imagination."

"If today's sky curtain continues."

"It should be that the German army launched a massive attack, but encountered strong resistance from the Soviet army and civilians who were beginning to get used to the war."

"Germany will pay a heavy price, and the Soviet Union will pay an even greater price."

While Huo Qubing was excitedly speculating, Tianmu also began to tell the story.

[Germany's Northern Army Group, with unstoppable force, occupied large tracts of Soviet territory.]

【The army is approaching the city of Leningrad.】

【However, the military and civilians of Leningrad put up a tenacious resistance and blocked the massive attack of the Northern Army Group.】

[After the German offensive failed, they began a comprehensive blockade and encirclement of Leningrad.]

【Supplies are in short supply in Leningrad.】

[In this heroic city, a tragic song of resistance against Germany is being performed.]

On the canopy.

First, a group of German troops appeared, cleaning up the battlefield.

The German soldiers were surrounding a strange truck, pointing and talking.

[The Germans were puzzled by the strange trophy, because at first glance it did not look like an artillery device at all, but more like an organ.]

[But in fact, this is a combat truck equipped with rockets, a new generation of Soviet weapons. ]

The name of the Katyusha rocket launcher and its specific parameters are also given on the sky curtain.

[BM-13 rocket launcher, also known as Katyusha rocket launcher. ]

[This is a multiple rocket launcher with remarkable features. It uses a truck as the chassis and is equipped with 8 rail-type launchers. It can carry 16 M-13 solid-fuel rockets and has a combat range of 8500 meters! ]

[It was successfully developed and put into production by the Soviet Voronezh Arsenal in the late 20s.]

【弹径132毫米、滑轨长5米、弹长1450毫米、弹重42.5千克、初速每秒70米。】

[With a 10-barrel salvo, all 16 132mm rockets can be fired within 16 seconds. ]

[Katyusha is extremely powerful, and its carrier and launcher are combined into one, making it highly maneuverable.]

[Able to quickly relocate or deploy.]

……

A brief introduction to the famous Katyusha.

The scene changed, and a large number of vehicle-mounted rocket launchers appeared on the battlefield.

These rocket launchers, marked as Katyusha on the sky, made sharp roars.

Countless shells were fired continuously at extremely high speed, covering the entire sky of the battlefield.

The explosive Katyusha firepower covered everyone's vision!
Even those who know nothing about military affairs.

It can also be seen.

The power of the Katyusha rocket launcher is amazing.

In fact, many ancient people could understand Katyusha's shape.

I think it has the same function as the crossbow cart and catapult.

But it is obvious that the power is not on the same level.

Southern Song Dynasty.

Yue Fei touched the crossbows in his army and said with a relaxed smile:

"This Katyusha rocket launcher is really a good thing."

"Concentrate a large number of Katyushas at high speed to provide large-scale coverage of the enemy's gathering areas."

"Regardless of the amount of killing power."

"At least it can block a wave of attacks."

"Thereby achieving a favorable impact on the entire battle situation."

"The Soviets have produced good weapons." "Does Germany have any countermeasures?"

And the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen saw the terrifying power of Katyusha.

Suddenly, I felt that even the red cannon was no longer attractive.

"Katyusha's firepower, this is a real firepower network!"

"If the Ming Dynasty had such a magical weapon, why would we worry about the thieves not being destroyed?"

Chongzhen also noticed that the barrage seemed to like weapons like Katyusha.

"Katyusha, the father's organ!"

《What a horrible sound! 》

"Katyusha is horrible? Isn't it as beautiful as an organ?"

"The violent aesthetics of Soviet weapons! Specially designed to cure the fear of insufficient firepower!"

"This thing can destroy a whole battlefield with one salvo. San Dezi was very happy with it back then."

"Players of Hell on Earth said they started preparing to redeploy as soon as they heard the sound."

"Katyusha is really useful. The scenes in the movie covering the US military positions were completely conservative."

"It was because Big Brother provided us with Katyusha that year that my country was able to catch up with it and has been on the road of rocket research ever since."

"Now you want to ask which company has the best rocket launcher technology? Hey, I'm not being modest..."

"This thing has no accuracy, and of course, it doesn't need accuracy!"

"Tell the Katyusha convoy which direction the enemy is heading, and then everything will be fine."

"Katyusha is never just one rocket, but at least a whole regiment of rockets. Thousands of rockets are fired at once! Even tanks can't handle it!"

"Every time I watch Katyusha, I can't believe the firepower of that era."

"Don't even mention that era, Katyusha can be used even now! Didn't the milk tea shop armed forces launch Katyusha towards Tianlong Kingdom again a few days ago?"

"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world... a divine song with a divine instrument! It is also a good story. "

The sky curtain also continues to tell the story.

[Under the cover of Katyusha rocket launchers, the Soviet Union successfully blocked the offensive of the German Northern Army Group. ]

[It bought precious time for the defense of the Leningrad area.]

[Leningrad, a large city in the north of the Soviet Union, was once the capital of Tsarist Russia and was also a key target city in Operation Barbarossa.]

[Because Leningrad is not only an important economic and industrial city. ]

[It is also a base city for the Soviet Navy. ]

[Soviet Navy ships and submarines departing from Leningrad.]

[It is possible to block the trade of various resources such as iron ore between Germany and Sweden in the Baltic Sea. ]

【Thus, contain or even destroy the Soviet Baltic Fleet. 】

【It was a very important matter for Hitler. 】

[He once clearly pointed out that if you want to occupy Moscow, you must first occupy Leningrad! ]

[This strategic idea has always been a part of the German army.]

In the combat log of June 1941, 6, it was recorded as follows:
[The Führer attempted to follow the convention and use the tank army as the main force, the largest Central Army Group and the Northern Army Group, to attack Leningrad directly and capture this important Soviet naval city in one fell swoop.]

[In July 1941, the German army's attack on Leningrad encountered strong resistance from the Soviet Union on the Luga River defense line.]

[But in August 1941, Army Group Center sent their armored forces to support.]

【The Soviet defensive forces are in danger of being surrounded.】

[In the direction of Leningrad, the Soviet army also used KV heavy tanks. ]

[The powerful KV tank put great pressure on the German anti-tank forces. ]

[Also earned the KV tank the title of Ghost. 】

[The most famous battle was an ambush commanded by Army Captain Klobalov.]

[The troops under his command ambushed the German armored forces in the southwestern suburbs of Leningrad.]

[By cutting off the head and tail, 43 German tanks were destroyed, and 156 traces of German artillery shells were found on the Soviet tanks.]

[And these powerful tanks all come from the Leningrad Arsenal. ]

[However, the excellence of a single weapon cannot determine the outcome of a war. ]

[Due to insufficient fuel supply and a large number of tank soldiers lacking training, many KV tanks were casually abandoned on the roadside after minor combat damage.]

[On the contrary, it was after Hitler heard the report about the powerful KV tank. ]

[Decisive order: We must resolutely occupy Leningrad, the only important industrial city that can produce KV tanks. ]
