NOVEL FROG Chapter 33
"Another hundred BM-21 rocket launchers."After thinking for a while, August decided to buy another hundred BM-21 rocket launchers.
He was originally going to continue to buy Katyusha rocket launchers, but their range was too short, so after a moment of hesitation, he decided to buy BM-21 rocket launchers.
The caliber is 122mm, and the maximum range is 20 kilometers. If used well, it is enough to change the situation on the battlefield.
"200 million"
"Looking at the remaining money, August decided to use it all to buy ammunition and win the battle.
………
On the other side, the third Kharkov battle officially started. A large number of German fighter planes appeared on the battlefield and launched a crazy bombing on the Kharkov front!
Bombing! Bombing! Bombing again!
In order to take back the city of Kharkov, Manstein sent out all the fighter planes in his hands, with the purpose of destroying the positions of the bears.
Countless bombs fell on the positions of the bears, and the continuous explosions vented the anger of the German army.
Originally, the German army had already entered the hinterland of the bears, but was pushed back by the bears, suffered heavy casualties, and even lost a marshal. Such a great shame made all the German troops on the Eastern Front hold back their anger.
Therefore, when Manstein issued the order for the general offensive, the bears ushered in an unprecedented bombing.
Batches of fighter planes flew in, a large number of bombs fell, and countless bears died.
Zhukov also became ruthless and ordered all the air forces to take off to fight, but in order to win this counterattack, the German army sent out all the fighter planes in their hands.
One hundred J-5 jet fighters and four hundred TA-152 fighters fought madly with the Russian Air Force.
Unfortunately, the performance gap between the two sides' fighters was too big to be made up by courage. Although the performance of the Russian Air Force was quite commendable, and their tenacity was no less than that of the Germans, they were still shot down.
In the sky, the German J-5 fighters were flying, roaring, and wreaking havoc.
More and more Russian fighters were shot down, rolling up thick smoke and causing huge explosions on the ground.
"Oh my god, the German fighter planes are too fast, we are no match for them."The commander of the Russian Air Force muttered as he watched this scene.
In just half an hour, the Russians lost more than 300 fighter planes and more than 200 bombers, while the Germans lost less than 30, most of which were old FW-190 fighter planes, and of course a small number of TA-152 fighter planes.
"A few years ago, the FW-190 was still able to show off its might, but now it is not even qualified to be a wingman."An FW-190 fighter pilot sighed as he watched the J-5 fighters slaughtering the Russian fighters in the distance.
"It is said that the Empire is replacing new aircraft on a large scale, and old aircraft like this will be eliminated."A German pilot said enviously:"The speed is really fast, I can't catch up at all, and the machine gun can shoot down a plane with one shot, which is much more useful than our machine guns."
"Why……"Looking at their own vehicles, an indescribable emotion permeated. They also knew that with the progress of the times, they had to keep up with the times. Propeller planes had been eliminated.
On the ground, the German Katyusha rocket launchers began to roar, and countless shells fell madly towards the enemy's positions, stirring up countless gunpowder smoke.
The Russian artillery was also counterattacking, but as soon as the counterattack was launched, it was blown to pieces by the 500 Katyusha rocket launchers that the German army had hidden.
It was difficult for the remaining artillery to form an effective counterattack. As for the 203mm heavy artillery, the counterattack strength was not very good because it lost air superiority and suffered from the crazy bombing of German fighter planes.
The Russian infantry on the position could only watch the enemy's shells ravaging the position continuously and slaughtering their comrades.
They didn't know what to do. The air-raid shelters they dug could not stop the attack of thousands of shells, especially the power of rockets that could bury people in the ground in an instant.
Timoshenko's Southwestern Army had won a lot of victories in the previous battles with the Germans, but it also suffered heavy losses. Although it had been replenished during the rest period, those were all new recruits with no combat experience at all. Facing such a brutal battle, they were at a loss.
"Don't run around!" the old soldier shouted loudly.
""Hide in the air-raid shelter quickly!"
Unfortunately, such shouts were drowned out by the sound of artillery explosions. Many recruits still ran around with their heads in their hands, as if this would help them avoid the terrible artillery attacks.
No matter how hard the veterans screamed, they could not stop the recruits from running around, so casualties increased sharply.
Although the German army had lost a group of elite soldiers before, the remaining soldiers were well-trained. Although they had no battlefield experience, they quickly adapted to the battlefield under the guidance of the veterans.
The battlefield advantage gradually tilted towards the German side, while the advantage of the Russian bear gradually weakened. Over time, the gap between the two sides widened again.
Many Russian veterans watched coldly, They didn't care about the new recruits running around. According to them, if they could survive three days, they would be qualified. If they couldn't, their shouting would be in vain.
Die? They deserved it. Who didn't grow up in such scenes?
It can't be said that these old soldiers were cruel and ruthless, but war is cruel and ruthless.
They were facing the powerful German army and could not show any mercy.
The bombing was still going on endlessly, one wave after another, and it would never stop.
