"The aircraft carrier we built for the Soviet Union had a serious quality accident. The refractory brick inside the boiler fell off, resulting in the boiler explosion. The aircraft carrier must enter the shipyard for overhaul." In Berlin, Speer reported to Shrek.

"These refractory bricks were made by the Soviets. It was their rough refractory bricks that led to the boiler explosion." Reinhart followed to make a judgment.

Everyone present was happy.

Everything was already in the calculation of Germany, and it was planned to make such an effect. Therefore, it delayed the construction period on the pretext of insufficient refractory bricks in advance. As a result, the Soviets couldn't wait and shipped a batch from them.

Now, the Soviets can't cry. It can't blame Germany. If you want to blame it, you have to blame the Soviets themselves!

"What happened at sea today fully shows that the Soviets can't wait to do it." After laughing, Shrek said, "our foreign affairs department should draft a stern statement to protest against the invading Soviets. We should be reasonable first, and then do it."

Ribbentrop nodded. This report has been drafted three times. It must show the breadth of Germany.

"We have detected that in order to deal with our Brest fortress, the Soviets mobilized a large number of artillery. It is expected that there are at least four large caliber artillery regiments equipped with 152 mm howitzers, more than 100, and 122 mm howitzer regiments, and there will also be hundreds. This time, the Soviets really paid off." Said Kate.

The best way to deal with a strong fortress is to use heavy artillery. The most appropriate plan to attack the fortress is to completely blow up the enemy's strong fortress by using artillery for repeated bombing.

If you don't know the layout of the Soviets, you really know the way of the Soviets! Now, however, Germany is fully prepared!

"Their biggest is the 152 mm caliber." "With this heavy artillery, do you still want to hit our fortress? Have our heavy guns been deployed? "

"Yes, our 628th and 428 heavy artillery companies, equipped with Karl cannons, have been deployed to the fortress, and our Gustav cannons have been deployed in the woods 20 kilometers behind the fortress. This time, we will let the Soviets know what the real heavy artillery is. "

Goodrian is always the one who advocates blitz and armored attack, but now he is also full of confidence in his own heavy artillery.

Carl cannon, which is a 600 mm mortar, has produced a total of six guns, and they are named: gun 1 "Adam", gun 2 "EVA", gun 3 "Dole", gun 4 "Odin", gun 5 "Rocky" and gun 6 "Divo".

This kind of heavy artillery has a short range of only a few kilometers, but one shell is enough to blow down a large area.

As for the Gustav cannon, only the No. 1 cannon and the No. 2 cannon Dora have been completed, which have been reduced.

Yes, this kind of cannon is the famous Dora cannon( Everyone should be familiar with the Dora cannon, so sometimes the name is mentioned, which is more familiar to everyone.)

These two kinds of cannons were built at the proposal of Hitler, who liked cannons, in order to break through the Maginot line.

After all, the fortifications of the Maginot line are solid, and the cover and wall of its shelter are up to 3.5 meters thick. Even if there is a direct hit from a 420 mm artillery shell like the big Berta gun, it is difficult to cause casualties and equipment damage.

Although Germany already has V-1 missiles and precision guided bombs, these initial guided weapons are easy to be disturbed, and the hit accuracy is poor. Moreover, the cost is not cheap.

So, at that time, Shrek did not oppose these plans.

From the beginning of 33 years, Hitler focused on breaking through the Maginot Line and ordered the development of a new super cannon that exceeded the "Paris cannon". Germany's famous Krupp Arsenal still undertakes this arduous task.

After five years of efforts, in the spring of 38 years, Krupp Arsenal finally built this 800mm super cannon. In memory of Gustav Krupp, the founder of the plant, Hitler called it "heavy Gustav".

This cannon is also one of Germany's ace strategic weapons. In the European war, Guderian's armored soldiers made great achievements, but this cannon did not have the opportunity to show up. Now, after receiving the order, the artillery who came to the Polish border are full of confidence.

This kind of cannon is about 43 meters long, 7 meters wide, 12 meters high and weighs 1350 tons, almost twice that of the "Paris cannon". Therefore, the ordinary way is not good. It can only be transported by train. After it is transported, the firing position of artillery is specially built in the woods. It is still the track layout, and the artillery position is adjusted through the movement of vehicles on the track.

It took three weeks to install and debug. Now, the cannon is ready to go.

With the development of weapons, this cannon will eventually fall behind. Even if it is excellent, it will be passively beaten in the face of air bombing. The combination of strategic bombers and heavy bombs is the king, but now it is still the most effective weapon.

Such a cannon needs many people to operate. There are more than 1400 operators of the whole cannon, and his commander, major general bolt, is also experienced.

At this time, major general bolt stood in front of the newly assembled cannon with full confidence.

This train gun is quite tall. Only standing in front of it can you see how spectacular this cannon is. Its chassis is two groups of train chassis. Only in this way can it withstand the recoil force during firing, and its gun barrel is even larger.

"General, we are ready. The firing units are calibrated and can fire at any time." Major general bolt's side, Colonel Wolfgang said.

The General Commander of the cannon is bolt, and the specific shooting is commanded by Wolfgang. It is not easy to make the cannon accurately hit the target tens of kilometers away. The most important thing is to calibrate the shooting data.

At this time, on the map unfolded by Wolfgang, various data have been densely calibrated. The azimuth targets of each front-line position have been accurately measured. Once the battle begins, they can aim and shoot at the fastest speed!

"Recently, the Soviets opposite have been mobilized frequently. The latest information from the headquarters shows that the Soviet attack is likely to be launched in the last two days. We want to make our artillery famous in this battle!"

As an artillery general, major general bolt is holding his strength. His cannon is much better than Stuka and hs-129!
