At the same time, Balzen's reconnaissance battalion was still waiting outside the city. After receiving the order, they were no longer in a hurry to attack the city.
After the reconnaissance battalion's exploratory attack ended, they tried their best to pull back those who fell to the ground, whether dead or wounded.
The whole battalion suffered more than 20 casualties, and the reconnaissance battalion did not take advantage, so Balzen was happy to stay. He believed that both the German army and the puppet army were frightened by the tragic situation of the armored vehicle being destroyed just now. And
What was the special attack the commander was talking about? He thought for a moment, and it might be that after the large troops arrived, they set up the rocket launcher tubes behind the current position, only to level the city.
Balzen was so confident about the future that he even smoked a cigarette and waited for the arrival of the paratrooper brigade.
While he was smoking, the telegraph operator carrying a telegraph machine ran to the battalion headquarters again and handed Balzen the earphones and microphone.
"Battal Commander, the superior has given an order."
He was full of joy and wanted to show his superiors that he was very well prepared, and the enemy was even more frightened.
Yang Mingzhi on the other side had no time to listen to his flattery and directly ordered: "Owl, be prepared for surveillance! The first catfish attack is about to begin. Your people should be alert, observe the landing point and report it immediately!"
Balzen was shocked, but he still calmly asked: "Owl received! Catfish, what are you going to do? Launch Catfish now? Is it a straddle launch?"
"Yes! It's a straddle shot! Owl, please keep communicating! Catfish will launch soon!"
Yang Mingzhi immediately took off his headphones and handed the microphone back to Diana. Then, he suddenly raised his right hand, lowered it heavily, and shouted: "огонь!"
The take-off of the Catfish rocket launcher produced a huge noise and a lot of smoke. One was experimentally launched at the launch site by the stream. Its huge noise was also received by the headphones that Diana had not yet put on her ears, so the sound on the other side of the electromagnetic wave
Balzen heard it very clearly.
As if every cell in his body was stimulated, Balzen jumped up suddenly, grabbed his telegraph operator Mira, and rushed to the forefront of the troops.
The soldiers staying in the forest didn't know why the battalion commander was so excited, so they quickly picked up their weapons and rushed to the front line.
Balzen yelled: "Attention, comrades! The rocket launcher is coming! All of you keep an eye on the impact point of the explosion and be prepared to avoid the blast!"
Many soldiers were a little confused. Fortunately, not long after his words fell, a sharp roar suddenly came from the sky!
Hearing the roar, some veterans directly thought of the scene when the German Stuka dived.
A veteran looked around for the sound. He raised his right hand excitedly: "Look! That's our rocket!"
Because of the mixed propellant, the smoke of the Catfish rocket is not too dense. However, the local air humidity is high, and the burning particles of the rocket quickly absorb a large amount of water droplets, so in the eyes of many soldiers, it is like a dragging rocket.
Huge white smoke and burning meteorites hit the ground.
Not only the Soviet troops, but also the German troops who had a chance to escape, and hundreds of Ukrainian puppet troops also witnessed this spectacular scene.
The people present couldn't help but marvel. The rocket hit the ground, and then the ground shook violently, and a loud noise was heard in the ears!
The explosion blew up the soil to a depth of forty meters, causing the earth to tremble and the trees to break. However, because the rocket landed on the edge of the forest, it did not cause any casualties.
Because the communication was maintained, the telegraph operator Diana clearly heard the explosion.
The female soldier turned her neck warily and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, I heard an explosion!"
"Quick! Ask Balzen where the landing point is?"
After twenty seconds of silence, Balzen on the other side of the electromagnetic wave reported in person: "I saw that the impact point was about five hundred meters southeast of the city!"
"Very good! The owl will retreat five hundred meters for the time being! I will fire ten rounds! You take action immediately!"
After Balzen's brief report, Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes and figured out how to adjust the elevation. After issuing an emergency order, the bombing officially began.
The two rockets were loaded into the guide rails of the launcher respectively. After tightening the trigger, the soldier pulled the rope and pulled the trigger.
Amid two huge roars, two "white dragons" rose from the ground.
For this kind of rocket launcher with a maximum range of eight kilometers, shortening the range by 500 meters is no longer a simple fine-tuning. The elevation angle is increased by five degrees, and the rocket launcher flies towards the target with a higher parabola. In the end, it will hit the target with a nearly vertical trajectory.
earth.
Balzen issued the avoidance order, and his soldiers retreated happily. The one-kilometer-diameter area centered on the Slavdich intersection is a danger zone. This is not because the Catfish rockets are not accurate, but because the catfish rockets are not accurate.
Its power is really great. A heavy artillery shell can shatter the internal organs of a person within a hundred meters of the center of the blast. The power of a rocket launcher is even more powerful than this.
The muzzle velocity of the Catfish rocket is only 40 meters per second, and its acceleration is exaggerated. It will soon reach a high speed of up to 170 meters per second. It will fly to an altitude of 3,000 meters and dive at a high speed of 300 meters per second.
Two rockets dropped from the sky with huge white tails. It only took them half a minute to reach the target, and finally exploded tragically inside the city!
The explosion caused an earthquake in the city, and the shock wave knocked down a large number of buildings that were not strong enough. Some concrete houses can still stand, but their doors and windows have been shattered.
The bombardment had just begun. Just one minute after the two rocket launchers exploded, another wave of bombardments arrived! The smoke and dust rising in the city were still fierce, and a large number of debris raised by the candidates had just landed, and a new tragic explosion was accompanied by
With the death-inducing white smoke, he came to kill him!
The rocket launcher is guaranteed to fire one round per minute. According to rocket launcher standards, this is a very slow speed. If this is a heavy artillery, the speed is already very fast.
The preparation for the artillery fire was just a total of ten rockets fired in just five minutes, and their lethality was not small.
Balzen and his soldiers endured the tremors of the earth, and everyone wanted to stand on the edge of the forest to witness the spectacular bombing scene. No one wanted to die, everyone huddled against the big tree and felt the earth
He was trembling, being knocked by falling branches, and even covering his ears and opening his mouth to avoid hurting his ears and shaking his head.
The Soviet soldiers were like this, and Moise and his Ukrainian police battalion were in hell.
After witnessing the sudden explosion, Moise reacted. He could tell that it was a rocket attack by the Soviets. How could they have rocket launchers? Before he could figure it out, he moved his command post to the basement.
At the same time, he also issued an order for the troops on the ground to withdraw into the cellar as much as possible. If they really had nowhere to go, they would lie down in the tunnel.
It's a pity that Moise doesn't have any more time. To make matters worse, the cellars that can be found are already crowded with citizens taking refuge, and the number of soldiers who can come in is very limited. Coupled with the obstacles in the transmission of orders, when a large number of rocket launchers hit
, and a large number of Ukrainian puppet troops are exposed.
Compared with artillery shells, rockets could hear the whistling sound earlier, and the majority of puppet soldiers still took some measures to avoid the artillery fire.
They rushed towards the solid concrete building and hid as much as possible in corners, under wooden tables and wooden beds. Some soldiers also hid on the spot in foxholes dug earlier.
However, the rocket bombing was almost insurmountable. The foxholes they dug were still too shallow. The soldiers in the pits were easily blown up by the blast. The shock wave tore their bodies into pieces, and even the firearms in their hands! A large number of
There were human corpses mixed in with the flying debris! For these soldiers, their experience was indeed miserable, but for them, death came instantly and there was no pain.
The cellars, which were originally used by citizens to store supplies for the winter, have become air-raid shelters. The people hiding in them are in great pain!
This narrow tunnel was crowded with people, and the violent explosion also squeezed the soil. Some cellars were even crushed, and everyone inside was buried alive like this! Those who were lucky enough to survive were also severely damaged physically and mentally. Some
Some people fainted directly, and some soldiers went crazy after receiving a series of violent stimulations, and their guns went off and hit one of their own!
Compared with these soldiers, the situation of battalion commander Moise is not much better.
He was disheartened. The violent explosion shattered the oil lamp. In the darkness, he lamented helplessly: "It's all over! It's all over! Today is the day I die. You soldiers should all flee."
How could they escape if they were said to be fleeing? Many of these Ukrainian puppet troops were renegade former Soviet Red Army soldiers. They all knew something about the Soviet Katyusha rocket launchers. What they knew best was the Soviet army’s combat mode!
No one knows how many enemies are ambushed outside the city. In short, Slavdzic has been surrounded!
