On the Russian artillery position, one after another 122mm Howitzer and 152mm Howitzer have raised their muzzles. These two kinds of artillery are the main artillery of the Russian Army.
Buru Army also attaches great importance to artillery. They also know very well how powerful German artillerymen is. As early as in the last World War, German Army had already used powerful artillery to make Britain, France, and Russia and other countries suffer. Therefore, they also know that if a war breaks out with Germany, they will have to face Germany's powerful artillery. They must have powerful artillery that can compete with German military's artillery.
However, due to technical limitations, it cannot compare with Germany, so the development path of Buru artillery is very difficult.
When Germany and Buru were in the honeymoon period, they tried to introduce the technology of 105mm Light Howitzer and 150 mm heavy-duty Howitzer from Germany, but they did not get approval. These two kinds of artillery are the main infantry support artillery of the German Army. Naturally, they cannot be easily transferred to other countries, especially potential hostile countries.
With no other choice, Buru can only develop it by itself. Because the performance of gun steel is much inferior to that of Germany, the 105mm Light Howitzer and 150 mm heavy-duty Howitzer developed by Buru are completely unable to compare with the performance of these two artillery pieces equipped with the German Army. This leaves them with no choice but to find another way.
Increasing the caliber of the cannon and lengthening the barrel became the only solution. This is why Buru Army developed 122mm Howitzer and 152mm Howitzer. However, even so, there is still a certain gap in the performance of these two cannons compared to the German Army, 105mm Howitzer and 150mm Howitzer.
In addition to these two cannons, the Buru Army is also equipped with a small number of B-4 heavy Howitzer. This Howitzer has a diameter of 203 mm and is used on a tractor chassis. The total weight of the barrel and chassis reaches 27 tons. The maximum range reaches 17.5 kilometers, and the maximum rate of fire can reach one round per minute. This kind of heavy artillery is very powerful. Germany calls it 'Joseph's Hammer'!
However, Buru is not equipped with many such breakthroughs now. A group army is only equipped with one Artillery Battalion, with only 12 doors. Compared with the German Army, which equips one army with one artillery brigade and a total of 72 210mm Heavy Guns, it undoubtedly seems a bit petty. Of course, this is mainly because the national power of Buru is far from comparable to that of Germany. Even if they want to equip more such cannons, they are still powerless!
"Fire! Destroy German artillery!" The Russian artillery commander gave the order to fire.
"Boom! Boom!"
One after another, the Russian artillery began to roar. Orange-red flames shone at the muzzle, and the heavy shells hit German military's position under the influence of huge kinetic energy.
Especially those B-4 heavy-duty Howitzer, each one will cause a lot of noise when firing.
"Boom!"
A 203mm artillery shell landed on a field artillery position at German military. A huge explosion sounded, and the entire artillery position was shrouded in smoke. When the smoke cleared, the 75mm Field Guns were already swaying one after another, and some cannons even had their barrels twisted. As for those German military artillerymen, they were killed in the explosion.
"Suppress Russians's artillery!"
German artillerymen responded immediately. Those 210mm Heavy Gun with longer range and 150 mm heavy-duty Howitzer began to fire on the Russian artillery positions and suppress their artillery positions.
For a moment, the tragic Artillery Battle unfolded. However, whether it is the number of artillery or the performance of the artillery, the Germany artillery has the advantage. This caused Buru artillery, and at Artillery Battle losses began to rise linearly.
"Boom! Boom!"
The 12 210mm Heavy Guns of a 210mm Heavy Gun battalion, under the guidance of the calibration aircraft, fired violently at an artillery position of Buru. Heavy artillery shells fell like raindrops one after another. The entire artillery position was shrouded in fire and smoke. The cannons deployed by the Russian artillery on this artillery position were all destroyed in less than five minutes.
Artillery Battle is undoubtedly tragic, because once the artillery position is hit by enemy shells, it may be torn into pieces.
"Boom!"
A earth-shattering explosion sounded, and a large cloud of black smoke rose from an artillery position of the Russian army.
It was a bunch of shells that were detonated, causing such a big noise.
In order to speed up the shooting, Buru's artillerymen piled a large number of artillery shells on the artillery position in advance. Doing so can certainly further increase the rate of fire. But at the same time, a big crisis also occurred. If these artillery shells explode, the damage caused to the artillery position may be greater than being hit by enemy artillery shells.
Now, that's the situation. The entire artillery position was swept away by the explosion and gunpowder smoke. When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, the artillery position no longer existed.
"General, the Air Force reports that their fighter planes will enter the battlefield in ten minutes!"
In the sky, after German Air Force completed the air attack on the Buru airport, it immediately devoted itself to the attack on the Buru defense line. A large number of fighter jets covered Dive Bomber and ground Attacker, entered the battlefield, and began to attack the Russian positions.
With a sharp and ear-piercing roar, Dive Bomber dived down from high altitude and accurately hit Aerial Bomb on the Russian artillery position, destroying those cannons and artillery.
Those targeting the ground Attacker used aviation machine guns, cannons and carried bombs to attack Russian positions.
Attacker has a long time in the air and a large bomb load. Although it is not as accurate as Dive Bomber, it is also relatively clumsy. However, the losses they caused to the Russian army were no smaller than Dive Bomber.
As for those fighter jets, since there was no longer the threat of Bolshevik Air Force fighter jets in the sky, they naturally all devoted themselves to attacking the Russian ground positions.
A BF-109 fighter jet flew past the Russian position. Bullets from the aircraft's machine guns left a row of bullet holes on the ground. When the bullet hit the Russian trench, it immediately left a long trail of blood. Many Russian soldiers were shot dead by aircraft machine gun bullets and fell screaming in the trenches.
After German Air Force joined in, the losses of the Russian army began to rise sharply. In particular, the artillery positions of the Russian army were destroyed one after another under German Air Force's air strikes, making them completely suppressed by Artillery Battle, and their losses were increasing. If this continues, it won't be long before all their artillery is lost and the artillerymen will suffer heavy casualties.
