The Siberian Meat Grinder
Chapter 168:The Siberian Meat Grinder
In the Siberian battlefield, the war was imminent, and the Russian army, which had been preparing for more than a year, finally sounded the horn of the attack.
In the unobstructed artillery position, thousands of artillery roared, and the terribleness of the old land power was revealed.
On the line of defense of the Red Police Corps, it was immediately covered by fierce gunfire, but the red police soldiers who were hiding in the trenches, one by one, all cats were in the trenches as deep as two and a half meters deep, and built into the cat's ear hole in the trenches, the Red Police Corps held weapons and listened to the sound of loud guns outside.
More than two meters deep in the trenches, the power of the shells is not at all to threaten the soldiers below, not to mention the protection of the cannon hole, unless it is a large gun that can be opened in the whole section of the trench, otherwise the general artillery is completely threatened.
The most important thing is that on both sides of the excavated trenches, there are wooden board reinforcement, in order to prevent the bottom of the trench from seepage, but also covered with cement, as well as special drainage and pumping equipment.
Outside the trenches, there are high sandbags and cement bunkers, which do not need to be raised, and the average height of one meter and five red police soldiers can stand in the trenches and shoot through the shooting holes outside the trenches.
Heavy machine gun positions, defensive units, mortar trenches, and figment pits formed a long line of defense.
The shelling, which lasted nearly two hours, was already eager for Russian soldiers across the line.
Under the intensive artillery fire, the distant defense line had already been completely shrouded in smoke, the dense shells lifted the moist soil, the melted ice and snow flowed into the craters, and the piles and wires that were blown up flew everywhere.
When the artillery fire began to extend, the attacking Russian forces, shouting Ulla, quickly rushed to the area covered by artillery fire.
Concentrating most of the dominant artillery, the Russian Army launched an indiscriminate attack on the southernmost line of Lake Baikal, which was up to 30 kilometers wide.
Four or five hundred thousand attacking troops were invested in one go, and the endless Russian soldiers could be seen everywhere.
Such a huge battlefield is no longer any major battle in the history of the First World War.
Because the Russians can afford to play, especially with the dual support of the United Kingdom and the United States, the Russians want to break the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop.
The defensive strength of the Red Guard Corps, the Russians have long known, although the number of artillery is large, but the total defense force is also hundreds of thousands, but also scattered in the great defense front.
By the time the Russian soldiers could already see the sandbags on the defensive line, the artillery fire had extended upwards by a thousand miles.
The firing hole covered in sand and snow was pushed away, and a double-coated machine gun turret rose from the defensive line, two barrel up to nearly two meters long, causing many Russian soldiers to instantly tingle their scalps.
The heavy armor wrapped like a turret, like a turret, like the narrow turret, lying in the trenches, and the rotating barrel aimed at the Russian soldiers who were rushing down.
The next moment, the terrible roar sounded throughout the line, the defensive weapons unit sentry gun, the terrible tongue of fire, the primary sentry gun 12.7 mm double-loaded heavy machine gun, and the dense barrage swept through the entire battlefield.
Amazing bullets, even after penetrating the body, can continue to fly up to kilometer, continue to cause terrible damage.
Without blocking, the bullets that fly out for two or three kilometers can still easily kill the enemy.
With a super-terrible rate of tens of thousands of bullets per minute, the trailballs form a laser line, which is dimly visible to the naked eye even during the day.
In the Russian forces on the attack, a patch of blood mist in the crowd, the bullets sprayed in a straight line, and the troops in the attack were easily carried through.
Vulnerable as an ant's body, simply can not stop the terrible rain, thirty kilometers long line of defense, the first round of 600 sentry guns attack, crazy torn the body of the Russian soldiers.
About 50 meters apart, there was a sentry gun, dense arrangement, rotating turrets, such as the death sickle swept, just a few tens of seconds, the dense line of attack of the Russians, blood and broken arms, stained the whole battlefield.
The surviving Russian soldiers, one by one, all lying in the mud mixed with snow and mud, shivered, and many Russian soldiers wet their crotch.
Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops attacked, more than half dead and wounded, and the Russian Army, which wanted to tear away the defense at once, failed the first round of attack, and also frightened every soldier on the battlefield.
The terrible power of heavy machine guns makes killing and killing as simple as breathing.
Even from the attack to the end, no Russian soldier saw the enemy soldier.
However, this was only the beginning of the counterattack, and behind the Red Guards' defenses, a door was hidden in a semi-buried artillery position, and there was also a roar.
On a tall observation balloon, there are not many camouflaged Russian artillery positions in the distance clearly visible in the telescope, and the heavy guns placed by the Red Police Corps here are all large-caliber howitzers, and the technical indicators can be comparable to the advanced artillery of various countries during World War II.
Compared with the Russian artillery that has a range of within ten kilometers, the artillery of the Red Guard Corps has no pressure at all.
The intensive artillery fire counterattacked, directly attacking the Russian artillery positions positioned near the front, and the rapid-fire shells fell intensively opposite.
Although the Red Guard Corps' artillery may not have to be in the artillery of the 21st century, the power is equally amazing, 155 mm howitzer shells, the kill radius of the explosion of nearly 100 meters, and the terrible waves can even blow down the artillery from the edge of the explosion center.
The Red Guards Corps Army tried not to be equipped with artillery less than 100 meters caliber, but replaced it with mortars, as a direct support artillery on large battlefields, with a caliber of more than 100 mm.
On the Baikal defense line, in order to make up for the disadvantage of the number of guns, the caliber of the artillery was 155 mm up, the semi-buried artillery position, and 175 mm heavy artillery.
There were even more than 280 mm heavy train guns, and a railway track running through the north and south of the line was specially built, so that these large-calibre train guns could move freely back and forth behind the line.
And these terrible artillery, are near production arrangements, Fan Yize in the Siberian line of defense, built a large number of barracks, war factories and tank factories, as well as magnetic reactors, a large number of artillery shells and artillery, pull out of the factory directly on the position, no need for logistics transport, no need for logistics personnel to supplement the shells.
The cannonball, for the Red Guards, really seemed like no money, let alone in the absence of supplies at all.
The artillery of the Red Guards Corps made the Russians realize what it was to be shelled.
