Chapter 1752 Digging one’s own grave

It's a coincidence that if it weren't for Colonel Klose's order to make the final preparations before the artillery bombardment, the Il-2 pilots, who could only look down from the sky and have poor vision, would most likely not be able to find the enemy's artillery positions.

of the location.

Colonel Klose's order became the last fuse to bury the German artillery. The artillery positions were lined up in a row, not dense but rigorous, with a unique German flavor. From the sky, they seemed to be spread out.

It's the same as the military parade formation at a distance, and it's a tangible thing at a glance.

What's even more terrible is that because the shelling to cover the retreat just now consumed a lot of ammunition, the German self-propelled artillery that wants to launch another large-scale shelling will inevitably need to replenish their ammunition.

The influx of a large number of ammunition supply trucks has made the density of vehicles in the same area even denser. In addition, there is something wrong with keeping the vehicles so neatly and orderly.

The Soviet pilot, who noticed something was wrong after a casual glance during the dive, decided to give it a try. Holding the joystick, he turned the nose of the aircraft and rushed straight towards the nearest German armor within visual distance.

The vehicle fired the remaining four rounds of 132mm aviation rockets, and by the way, it also squeezed the trigger and fired a series of large-caliber cannon barrages to add some spice.

This head-and-shoulder attack immediately sounded the final death knell for the German artillery position.

The 132mm large-caliber aviation rocket trailed an orange-red tail flame, smashed through the fragile steel plate of the ammunition transport vehicle, and exploded.

This extremely powerful warhead explosion at extremely close range instantly caused a chain reaction. The remaining ten rounds of 150mm projectiles and propellants in the ammunition transport vehicle exploded on the spot. The huge explosion directly destroyed the vehicle without heavy armor protection.

The ammunition transport truck was torn to pieces.

Another unlucky person was affected: right next to this ammunition transport truck, a 150mm "Bumblebee" self-propelled artillery was being replenished with ammunition.

The design of the open fighting room was originally conducive to the performance of artillery, which was a good thing, but no one would have thought that this design would be more ferocious in killing people.

Several German artillerymen who had not yet had time to escape from the car were buried with the car. The moment the earth-shaking firestorm swept into the car, it devoured everything around it: shells, flesh and blood, and metal and mechanical parts.

All are caught up in it.

The shells that had been supplied to the car added fuel to the fire, like a chemical reaction injected with a catalyst, and then turned into an even more powerful and shocking explosion.

All this happened so briefly and quickly, in just a few seconds. The Soviet pilot who was driving the War Eagle and had already entered the climbing state only felt an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly coming from behind him, and even he was sitting on the ground.

The Il-2 attack aircraft below were shaken by the shock wave that came instantly.

"Damn it! What the hell was in that car? A whole load of explosives?"

The Soviet pilots who forcibly held the control stick in their hands were still busy adjusting the flying posture of the war eagle and did not care about anything else. However, the other comrades hovering in the sky over the battlefield could only see everything that happened on the ground.

That makes it clear as day.

Such a loud chain reaction explosion was definitely not caused by destroying a German tank. It was at least the sound that could be created by stacking piles of shells together and exploding.

The explosion was so violent and caused a chain reaction. It was obvious what kind of situation could trigger such a movement.

If the explosion just now did not contain a large amount of ammunition that exploded simultaneously, I am afraid that such a thing would be called a strange thing.

The Soviet pilots, who would rather kill by mistake than let it go, did not miss this opportunity. Immediately, a total of eight Il-2 attack aircraft swung their noses, immediately broke away from the circle, and roared towards the German position below.

And down.

The German anti-aircraft guns were already firing, and the bright green tracer barrages cut through the sky leaving fiery trails. Although the Il-2 attack aircraft was strong and resistant, it was by no means an invincible body that could withstand the anti-aircraft guns. A series of anti-aircraft guns

Even if a barrage of shells hits you, you will most likely have to kneel down, and the plane will most likely crash on the spot.

But even if this was the case, knowing the high risk, the IL-2 attack aircraft still had no fear as they rushed downwards despite the German anti-aircraft firepower.

During the combat mission arrangement meeting before takeoff, I already understood the importance of this mission from the mouth of the regiment leader. This seemingly inconspicuous ground battle is directly related to the success or failure of the entire theater battle.

It is so important that every warrior with faith should fight for it and even sacrifice his life.

Seeing this, another group of Il-2 attack planes had already changed their attack direction to cover their comrades. The violently roaring crimson wing cannon barrages swept straight towards the German anti-aircraft guns like fire dragons.

The German soldiers who were operating anti-aircraft cannons in the open truck compartment could not withstand such crazy baptism. They were immediately hit by the terrifying kinetic energy of large-caliber projectiles that could penetrate light armor. Their arms and legs were torn around, and their internal organs were ripped apart

It was scattered all over the ground and turned into a puddle of minced meat.

The final outcome was nothing more than being shot on the spot with a cannon, and turned into a pile of mixed fragments of flesh and metal that could no longer serve any purpose.

A small number of German anti-aircraft guns that were quickly killed were silenced on the spot, which allowed another group of Il-2s that rushed towards the suspected German artillery position to attack more smoothly.

As the dive distance continued to shorten, the ground targets that became larger and larger became increasingly clear. The Soviet pilots with excellent eyesight finally saw clearly when they approached the last few hundred meters of the dive distance and were about to launch rockets.

The true identity of the German targets on the ground was confirmed, which were self-propelled artillery guns with high barrels!

"Gotcha! Accept the warm greetings of communism, fascist pig!"

Boo hoo hoo——

Dong dong dong——

Woo——

The cannons and rockets fired simultaneously, and the scream of the aerial bombs falling off their pylons mixed with the roar of the propellers, spreading throughout the sky.

The mixed sound was so harsh and sharp, but was immediately replaced by an even more deafening explosion.

The fate of the German artillery position was sealed when the first Hornet and ammunition transport truck were destroyed. The preparations for the artillery attack, which were originally intended to destroy the enemy, ended up being an act of digging the graves of their own people.

The huge explosions that kept making loud noises in the chain reaction soon merged into one, and the power of the explosions was so huge that the entire earth trembled and shook.

What will be left after the destruction? Who can say clearly about this kind of thing.

The only thing that is certain is that this German self-propelled artillery unit, which Colonel Klose relied on as his last trump card, will be completely wiped out and cease to exist.
