Chapter 1006

On the outskirts of tville, a German artillery man, wearing only a white vest, was prying open the ammunition box with an iron bar in the sun. With a cracking sound, the lid of the crude wooden packing box broke a corner and tilted up, revealing the rockets that were as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

Not far behind him was a smoldering fibrette rocket launcher, on which the rail launcher, like a rail, was still slightly steaming because of the heat generated by the friction of rocket launching. And because the dust blown by the tail flame has not been able to disperse up to now.

For those Soviet infantry in the encirclement without proper shelter, the German fibrette fire arrow gun has a very good killing effect. Often the volley of an artillery company can cause nearly 100 casualties to the infantry under general govorov.

Although govorov tried his best to restrain his troops, ordered mutual supervision, and no one was allowed to surrender, it was a pity that there were too few soldiers like rokosovsky or Tukhachevsky. Every day, hundreds or even tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers surrender, and even the whole company and battalion of the troops turn back.

The German soldier hung his rocket on the track of the Frederick rocket launcher, just like dozens of other rockets. It's not easy to finish such a loading, at least it's not a pleasant thing.

But every time I see these rockets launched in a flash, it seems that all the efforts are worth it. Their fibrette company can drop hundreds of rockets into the theater at a time, enough to cover a large area. This kind of attack is caught off guard and can immediately play the role of fire gathering attack.

Groups of tanks, armored vehicles and trucks, as well as all kinds of self-propelled guns and fibrette guns - the mechanization degree of the German army has made the whole world look up to. At least in the formation of the main force, Germany is willing to invest more motor vehicles to achieve the purpose of improving the attack speed of its troops.

The Frederick rocket is one of the favorite support weapons of all the German forces: it moves fast enough, attacks quickly and takes a short time to prepare. It can keep up with the attack speed of tanks and make up for the shortcomings of German artillery. If we say the shortcomings, only the range is less than that of traditional rockets.

"Get out of here! The next attack is about to take place. " Standing in the distance, the operator guarding the fire switch yelled to the soldiers in charge of loading. He waved his arm to one side as he yelled, signaling the soldiers to go to a safe distance.

When everyone was at a safe distance, the operator pressed the switch and electrified all the Rockets. So from the beginning of the first rocket, these rockets one by one from the launch orbit, flying to the distant sky.

The fierce plume spurts out and blows up the dust on the surrounding ground, sweeping around like a sandstorm. If the German air force did not firmly control the air, this weapon would expose its position every time it was launched. But now this overwhelming momentum is liked by German artillery, who laughingly call Frederick's rocket "duster" or "smoke bomb".

However, this kind of gentle name is used by one's own people to describe one's own weapons. After the enemy has been baptized by this kind of weapons, they usually call this kind of weapons "storm" or "king of destruction". Because often after a salvo of rockets, the Soviet position was almost the same as the surface of the moon.

Soon there was a storm on the Soviet front. Hundreds of rockets fell almost at the same time, crackling like raindrops on the heads of the Soviet army. Although they have experienced such a baptism and tried to build a simple position to reduce casualties, they still paid a heavy price.

"What the hell! These German bastards! They have surrounded us for several days, and they don't even attack except to disturb us with cannons! " A Soviet division commander was so angry that he almost dropped his telescope on the ground when he saw his position submerged in the artillery fire. His soldiers are not afraid of face-to-face competition, but they can't help despairing the repeated trampling of invisible enemies.

Then he complained about Stalin, the supreme leader far away in Moscow: "we have built a solid defensive position near Leningrad, so many guns and anti tank trenches that we have to give up! When I get to such a ghost place, there's nothing for the Germans to encircle! "

It's not surprising that he was so angry, because there was a big contrast between them: in Leningrad, they had large anti tank trenches, solid trenches more than 2 meters deep, main sections even had reinforced concrete fortifications, a large number of blockhouses and bunkers, as well as numerous anti tank guns and large caliber artillery.

Another advantage is that they rely on Leningrad and have a large amount of food, so they don't have to worry about the food source in a short time. Even if the field bunkers were destroyed, they had a way to retreat into the city and fight a city battle that the Germans did not want to bear.

As a result, with an order, they gave up such a good face and hurried to the vicinity of Treville. In order to get rid of the pursuit of the German E group army, the Soviet army had to give up a lot of heavy weapons, guns were discarded, and even anti tank guns did not bring much. As a result, such a light infantry division was so surrounded in the area north of Tver that it did not even have the strength to fight back. It had to wait in the field to be annihilated by the German army.

General govorov, in his headquarters, looked at the situation on both sides with a worried look on his face. Liszt of E group army is not a good guy to deal with. His troops are deploying solidly from the back. A large number of German infantry have arrived at the position, and this huge pocket has been completely folded up. What's more terrifying is that the armored forces of group a army, general lundstedt's second armored army, are using the tactics of central breakthrough, trying to divide and surround his Leningrad cluster. His current position has been squeezed into the shape of a dog bone with two big ends and a thin middle. In a few days, the whole cluster will be cut into two small bags“ If, I mean if, we break through now, is it possible to get close to Moscow? " General govorov suddenly broke the dullness of the room and asked the adjutant, who was also not looking very well around him, "organize the troops and break through from all directions..." he pointed to several bridges on the map, as well as several towns and villages nearby: "is it possible for us to break through these German lines and occupy these places, Then take at least 20000 soldiers and break through to Moscow? " After asking these questions, he raised his head and looked at his adjutant, hoping to get some suggestions from his old partner who has worked together for many years. Now he really has no good way to deal with the current situation, who let him not Zhukov hands so many tanks? It's a pity that he didn't get the answer he wanted from his assistant, because his deputy looked at him and shook his head. What he said was even more desperate: "if we're lucky, we'll meet in the concentration camp in Germany. If we're not lucky, we'll meet comrade Lenin together!" Everyone knows that it's too late to break through. Even if hundreds of thousands of infantry can break through the German front-line defensive positions, or even capture tville, as long as the Germans blow up the bridge, all their efforts will be in vain. Praying that the Germans made mistakes in succession, general govorov admitted that he did not have such a good mentality“ General An officer from the radio contact room came into the room and stood at attention in front of govorov. Then he began to report the problem he had just met: "the 77th division headquarters, which is responsible for the Western perimeter guard, lost contact. There was no news of the enemy's attack, so the director asked me to report to you..." "77th division?..." Kazonev's former army I don't know how many people still remember this bearded man. At least general govorov did. When this bearded man was in the army, the 77th division of the Soviet Union was one of the best troops in the army. Unfortunately, the poor bearded kazonev has been shot, and his troops have been handed over to an unknown commander. Now that the army has lost contact, it really makes people feel cold behind it. It turns out that kazonev's influence has always been there, and now it is really exposed“ Report... Report When govorov was laughing bitterly, another Soviet officer rushed into his headquarters and stood at attention in a panic. He stammered and reported an important news: "the German troops took over the defense line of the 77th division. They were shouting to other troops around that the 77th division had surrendered." Govorov didn't feel surprised. He seemed to have known the ending for a long time: "since kazonev was shot by those idiots, the 77th division is not the 77th division who is good at fighting. I'm not surprised that they surrendered... Let the 170 division and other nearby troops be on guard. Don't let the German Army take the opportunity to break through the defense line! " All of a sudden, govorov seemed to be aware of something. He raised his head and asked, "do you know who was responsible for shooting this kazonev in those days? How can I remember it was his old subordinate, polovsky? " The deputy was stunned, and then looked at his old partner, govorov: "I remember... Bad! No more 170 divisions! "
