After decades of not fighting, many people have forgotten how brave and powerful the German army was. They almost dealt with the entire Western powers with their own strength. At that time, they did not have any tanks, advanced aircraft, long-range cannons, etc.

Today, the German steel torrent, which is mechanized and motorcycle-oriented, looks like it has forgotten its former style, but in the face of the rough and direct local comprehensive defense front, it has to look back and pick up the past traditions.

This change was something that most people had never expected. Zhukov, whose main energy was focused on Moscow, did not expect it, nor did the generals responsible for the Leningrad defense war!

The Baltic fleet suddenly suffered an unprecedented violent blow. The German army showed their air-sea combat capabilities for the first time, and exploded the naval ships that supported nearly half of the firepower of Leningrad to pieces. The infantry that suddenly attacked suddenly advanced forward in the explosion that was booming and resolutely. The lines of defense collapsed one by one under the trampling of the soldiers' feet!

Although the German attack power in the past was as high as 1.8 million, it was scattered along the coast, and the wide area around Leningrad and even Lake Ladoga. Although it seemed tight, its troops were actually too scattered. That is, the Russians were too fierce to concentrate and could not be concentrated to counterattack effectively. Otherwise, such an iron barrel array would be caught and broken through with some force!

Six thousand artillery and more than five thousand mortars were set up on such a long position and blasted into it. It seemed that it could cause terrible explosions to the other party. But in fact, after a full half a year of shooting, the Russian military and civilians in the city who were killed by artillery were not even worthy of one hundred thousand casualties. Their efficiency was so low that it was simply outrageous!

Such a tactic that consumes a lot but has poor results is just a continuation of the tradition during World War I. While retaining the rare group of officers at the time, the Germans also retained the artillery tactics that had not been kept up for decades. This was only fifty steps and a hundred steps away from other powers, but the gap was the gap! When the Soviet army ignored the casualties and mobilized all manpower to crazily dig out countless trenches and artillery prevention fortifications, and used the entire city as a fortress to fight, the seemingly dense artillery attacks seemed weak and powerless. The killing effect of personnel became extremely small!

When soldiers and civilians are no longer afraid, or are afraid of explosions with heavy artillery bombardment, without direct killing attacks, it is wasteful and ridiculous!

The Chinese Observation Team did not say it clearly, but they also reminded them in a more tactful way. The German generals are very good at using their brains, and many of them have visited the Chinese battlefield. After comparing them, it is easy to draw different conclusions. They used to be disdainful, but now they have no choice but to give it a try!

Thousands of large-caliber artillery were hit on an attack surface. The attack width was only ten kilometers, which was not enough. Almost every volley could ensure that there were no dead corners between the shells landing points. The layers of progress were advanced forward, and the barrage was dense, even large anti-aircraft fortifications would be blown to collapse!

The northern land under the frozen snow was so hard that even armor-piercing bombs could not be penetrated too deeply. Each shell blasted dozens of tons of snow, and the steam produced by the thousands of degrees of high-temperature vaporization instantly boiled as if it was boiling a pot, and thousands of explosive fireballs were hustle and bustle. In an instant, a surging craze and strong wind formed, which eroded the snow on the ground. Under the impact of the huge heat and heat difference, the storm became restless like a raging dragon, and the rumbling wind pushed and slapped in all directions. Or it rotated and rose with the blow of the north wind, heading straight to the sky, blocking the battlefield's vision and blocking nothing!

The smoke and clouds of fireballs disturbed the warriors turned blind, but the battle became unprecedentedly fierce!

After the German army changed the way of casting nets in the sky, the concentrated fighter jets broke through the fierce attack of the air defense net and restrained the Soviet Air Force. The specially reinforced twin-engine heavy reconnaissance aircraft followed closely, quickly marked the positions of the various air defense fire points that broke out on the ground according to the grid coordinates determined previously, and at the same time launched the rocket-boosted radio beacon and staggered to the vicinity of the position.

The Peregrine Attack Plane, which followed closely, launched the German version of the wireless guided glider bomb from the limit of the anti-aircraft fire range. Even though there were considerable spread deviations between the front and rear, the overall accuracy was more than ten times higher than the previous slander and blind blast!

Moreover, with the enhanced and enhanced hardened head heavy gliding bomb, each of which is no less powerful than a torpedo. After being smashed at a high angle of more than Mach 0.6, it can penetrate all the floors of a six-story building to the roots. It is no problem to explode and destroy the entire building at one time. Once again, it can also kill all the people inside and nearby people and shake to death!

Hundreds of peregrine falcons, following the propulsion mode of dozens of special reconnaissance aircraft, achieved unprecedented results in just a short gap in winning air supremacy! The anti-aircraft artillery group ranked in southern Leningrad immediately became 30% or 40%!

The Stuka machine group, which was greatly limited by its attack power because of its slow speed, was able to carry 500-pound bombs, slowly climb to high altitude again and again, and then fell down and launched a precise attack and attack towards the building, heavy artillery or moving tanks, and abrupt fortresses!

After heavy blows in the air combat in England, the improved JU87D Stuka had an ammunition load of 1,800 kilograms. Another JU87G had a 37mm cannon on both wings, dived and aimed at the Soviet army's unbalanced armor T34 and other main tanks, which could easily attack and top-up breakdown, with excellent results!

During the previous fierce attack, they were beaten up by dense anti-aircraft cannons and the Soviet army's crazy aircraft group so hard that they could not do their best. Now, it finally came in handy!

At this time, the Soviet army's industrial production had begun to gradually recover, and at least the output of aircraft supporting air combat was increasing day by day. Their cheap and simple craftsmanship was not afraid of the German war of attrition, and the acquisition of air supremacy was only a short while.

But this is enough! Countless calibrated artillery positions and key strike targets, after being double-calibrated by aerial reconnaissance aircraft and radio beacon bombs, are fed back to the German heavy artillery troops behind. They are a set of precise attack coordinate systems that were not before. After emergency calculations by the original computer, the high-precision K18 173mm long-range heavy artillery. From more than 20 kilometers away, the group mode is roughly attacked. The precise shells smashed at large angles can often destroy a target point with one salvo. The efficiency is unprecedented!

Before, the Germans could not imagine that they used cannons to strike a certain target like a sniper rifle dozens of kilometers away. They could not do high-end things like a terminal-sensitive bullet to attack tanks for the time being, but if they had to say that the control accuracy and ballistic stability were stable, they would improve the processing accuracy and stability of the artillery. This is exactly what the Germans are best at in mechanical blood. Once reminded, there will be improvements immediately!

The K18 heavy artillery, which was presented on the northern battlefield for the first time, has an excellent improvement in power, accuracy and range compared to the 150mm gun, which is the main force. The Germans also installed it on the chassis of the Tiger Heavy Tank and used it as an assault gun.

In addition, a new K38 210mm heavy artillery has also joined the battle. However, to be honest, this thing is too bulky, with a height of 33 tons of iron lumps that must be transported by train; and the artillery operation wheel is so complicated that it is not something that ordinary people can play with at first glance. This not only leads to difficulties in transportation, maneuvering and deployment, but also requires higher requirements for the environment and operation of artillery. As a result, the production is low and the time it takes to invest in the battlefield has not been played a positive role.

However, this time, the six assembled 210mm cannons took on the heavy responsibility of assisting precise strikes. They cooperated with the K18 173 gun and the K39 advanced 150 guns from the bloodline source. As the force of precisely destroying the strikes, after the fighter accurately measured the target, they launched a non-stop long-range fixed-point removal battle!

Buildings, fortresses, cannons, tanks, and even clusters of machine gun nests. Once discovered by air force, gliding bombs, Stuka dives, and long-range precise artillery fire will be baptized one after another. Behind the positions of the two armies, the first circle of defense buildings began. On the front ten kilometers, the unprecedentedly fierce German artillery fire was like layers of huge waves, constantly surging forward. Wherever they passed, there was a charred ruin that had been completely blown into a pile of garbage!

Such a fierce attack made the Soviet army look down on the head. They couldn't figure out which way they wanted to do it. However, the offensive and defensive battle that lasted for half a year also gave the whole army a certain amount of experience. The front-line commander ordered all the infantry to be put into defensive operations without saying a word.

According to general rules, the German army must have a main attack, pull out the rest, and then disperse the gaps and break through. Therefore, if the troops are mobilized, it will become very dangerous.

The Soviet army suddenly lacked maritime support, and the southern front was not too panicked. The artillery positions they set up in the seaside high ground were enough to provide a considerable degree of suppression. What was more important was the experience they had summarized on the two battlefields, especially the tank groups deployed on both wings. When the German army launched a frontal attack, they unexpectedly came out and attacked in half. That was repeated!

This time, it should be no exception!

So, when the artillery fire with dense attacks on the front began to extend backwards, the Russian soldiers who had been huddled under the artillery fortifications for a long time rushed into the trenches, squeezing weapons between the black and white mixed positions that were experiencing a boiling hot air, and nervously aimed at the front!

The German army's main attack power was pushed forward with a scattered line of ten kilometers across the line! The first thing that appeared in the sight of the Russian soldiers was a huge and heavily armored Tiger tank, plus dozens of open-circuit construction vehicles with huge push shovels in front of them. Later, the shadows swayed, and the number of people was noticed was quite large!

But this is not a problem. The Soviet army, which was completely numb, was no longer the panic that began last year. The front line platoons jogged in the trench with long bows, constantly slapped the soldiers to remind them, and then the flat anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns were pushed out from the depths of the bunker, ready to aim and strike.

But at this moment, a dense sound of drumming sound suddenly sounded from the rear of the German army so dense that it was impossible to hear the muffled sound of the drum. Thousands of large-caliber mortars fired tens of thousands of shells in succession at the maximum firing speed! It almost reached a terrible density of one meter and one round, and it was interlaced with each other in depth of about one hundred meters, and they were all air-explosive killing bombs. For a time, the steel storm formed by millions of steel balls and prefabricated fragments shot down from the air and formed a terrible hell of death!

The trenches that were collapsed by heavy artillery and semi-paralyzed bunkers were exposed to the outside positions. Tens of thousands of Soviet troops were caught off guard and suffered a catastrophe. In the blink of an eye, thousands of casualties were killed and injured! Before they could come back to their senses, a series of smoke bombs swarmed down, flooding them with the ladder defense positions that had just raised their heads from the carpet bombing behind them!

When a strong wind swept over and the vision was a little clearer, the remaining Soviet soldiers were shocked to find that there were countless German soldiers around them!

Three divisions were thrown into the front at once, each wearing a thick cotton suit, and a seemingly bloated composite nylon body armor. He held an MP40 submachine gun in his hand, a pump-moving continuous shotgun, an engineer shovel and a Chinese short 7.92mm assault rifle, and a general machine gun, like a group of bears looking out of the hole for food. He squirted thick white smoke and smashed into the trench cumbersomely, and then ignored it, he was ragged in the military uniform in front of him. The equipment was simple, most of the Russian soldiers holding the Mosinnagan rifle opened fire frantically!

A long-lost hand-to-hand combat in the trench broke out!

Almost all the German soldiers equipped with automatic equipment did not say anything at all. First, they smashed the grenade with a fist, and the explosion smoke just rose. The person jumped in and swung the sharp steel engineer shovel and chopped it up! The ragged cotton coat and paper on the body of the Russian soldiers broke it open like a piece of paper, which could break the person's intestines and stomach!

Submachine guns, shotguns, and assault rifles seemed to be not afraid of accidentally hurting their own people. They aimed at the target and pulled them one after another. The rapid fire sound of dads and the dull sound of bangs were connected. In one encounter, the Russians were killed and injured, and a large area was lying down!

However, after years of ideological baptism, the Soviet army entered the desperate mode at this time. When the rest saw that the long rifle bayonet had no time to change direction, they simply threw it away and roared and rushed forward, using military stabs or fists to fight to the death!

But obviously they did not take into account the strength of the main force of this group of infantry! It was carefully selected from the more than one million soldiers besieging Leningrad. The bravest, strongest and most loyal SS elites. Before setting off, they drank high wine and knocked on stimulants, their eyes were red. They had already completed the warm-up all the way. This was the time to have the strongest combat power!

The number of people, fighter jets, firepower, quality, bravery, and the German army, who had the advantage in all directions, cleaned the first trench without much effort, and then piled up dozens of passages at the fastest speed, allowing tanks and wreck-clearing vehicles to pass through and rushed towards the second trench. The overwhelming mortar shells also kept smashing out another killing barrier in front and continued to advance!

In the rear, the second wave of German troops accelerated their charges and rushed into the trenches, replacing the first wave of the rapid establishment of forward defense arrays, covering other troops behind them continuously entering the battlefield!

All this happened too quickly, as fast as thunder! The shocked Soviet commander did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ordered the tank group on both wings to immediately enter the battlefield. They knew that once they could not stop the German assault on the front, the entire defense line, which had also been diluted, would be forced to give up and turn to urban defense operations. What's bad is that the buildings on their front were being completely destroyed layer by layer!

The steel cluster of more than 100 tanks rushed out quickly, just like a boxing master swaying a heavy punch from left and right, hitting the German army hard! According to general rules, the German army will inevitably be lost by the sudden blow and disconnected from one to another. At that time, the frontal pressure will be reduced sharply, and this attack will inevitably return in vain!

But as soon as the two sides met, the Russian tanks were shocked to find that the ones in front of them were all Tiger tanks! In the previous attacks, only 20% of the ones that were really used for frontal breakthroughs, and the other 80% were always placed on both wings as defensive forces. Just when they used their old tricks to kill, they rushed back head-on!

The Tiger tank has a heavy armor, with a composite armor, and a large main gun. It is unstoppable to bombard it. A chain defense formed by only fifty vehicles, one of which is two, and it is hard to handle the Soviet army's group of T34s, making it difficult to move forward!

The gap between the two sides was immediately revealed! Two heavy tiger tanks on the other side were shot, but nothing happened. They shot back and directly destroyed. After a few rounds, the number of both sides was basically leveled. They were struggling in the snow and ice. Not long after, the Stuka bomber followed and blew the rest into scrap iron under the crazy dive assault!

In order to prevent the German attack, the Soviet army cut off almost all the forests around Leningrad and used them to build fortifications. The advantage is to broaden the horizons, the enemy has nowhere to hide, and they can freeze to death in winter. The disadvantage is that they are also exposed, and they have no cover for the German air strikes!

The consequences of the Baltic Fleet being killed appeared! If one side of suppression artillery fire was missing, the German ten-layer wave infantry impact would not be interrupted when the impact of the two wings failed. The human sea tactic once again showed an amazing effect, hitting hard on the Soviet bunker layer by layer, constantly corroding, impacting, and advancing step by step!

Such a three-dimensional strike system is so closely integrated that it has never appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield before. The fortification group that was completely destroyed by the German army regardless of whether it is good or bad, directly resulted in half of the preset artillery being unable to open fire. The rest finally turned from a distance. The first round of shells had just been fired, but the landing point could only cover some of the German troops behind. Those who had already rushed into their own battlefield were powerless!

The worst thing is that as long as they fire, they will be discovered by German air reconnaissance planes soon. Change their strategies and no longer blindly bombard the German army to accurately draw nails, attack each other accurately, and then attack the air and land joint attacks one after another, constantly destroying artillery everywhere!
