Chapter 582: Iron Torrent Super Cannon
Su Zhengyang's mood became more and more excited as the system prompt sounded continuously. On the virtual screen in front of him, as the golden treasure chests were opened one by one, the list of supplies displayed became more and more spectacular.
The first thing that caught his eye was a long list of armored vehicles, a total of 12 armored vehicles of various types, ranging from light reconnaissance vehicles to heavy tanks, which would greatly enhance the strength of his armored forces and provide solid ground support for future wars.
Then, the system prompt sounded again, and thirty-five precious military equipment drawings appeared on the screen. These drawings covered various fields from advanced artillery to precision firearms. Their appearance meant that Su Zhengyang would be able to independently produce these high-end military equipment and further enhance the country's military strength.
What surprised Su Zhengyang even more was that the system also provided him with more than 100,000 howitzers and heavy artillery of various calibers.
These artillery pieces have powerful firepower and long range, and will become indispensable heavy firepower support on the battlefield. At the same time, the system also equips him with countless rockets and artillery shells of various calibers. The sufficient supply of these ammunition will ensure that his artillery units can continue to carry out effective firepower strikes.
Finally, the system prompt sounded again, and the screen showed a series of mighty fighters and bombers. Looking down from the sky, these planes were like eagles spreading their wings, providing him with powerful air support.
According to the system's statistics, Su Zhengyang obtained more than 3,000 fighter jets and bombers of various types this time, which made his air force more powerful.
Looking at the constantly updated list of supplies on the screen, Su Zhengyang showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that these gains would greatly enhance his military strength and provide solid support for his future strategic actions.
After sorting out and recording the list of items obtained from the gold treasure chests, Su Zhengyang once again gave his instructions to the system: "System, I want to open 120 platinum treasure chests."
As Su Zhengyang stretched out his finger and officially clicked to open the first platinum treasure chest, after the treasure chest was opened, accompanied by a dazzling light, a huge monster, like a steel behemoth, appeared in front of Su Zhengyang.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully opened the platinum treasure chest and obtained the epic cannon, Gustav Super Orbital Cannon X10. ]
Gustav Cannon details
The Gustav Gun is a super-heavy railway gun made in Germany during World War II, and is famous for its great power and destructive power. The development of this gun can be traced back to World War I. In order to meet the needs of modern warfare, Germany decided to develop a weapon with greater destructive power. Under the promotion of German Field Marshal von Manstein, the development plan of the Gustav Gun was implemented.
Parameter information
Caliber: 800mm, one of the largest artillery calibers in the world.
The barrel length is 32 meters, and the total gun length reaches an astonishing 43 meters, reflecting its huge size.
Width: 7 meters, reflecting its wide bottom structure.
Gun body weight: about 400 tons, showing its heavy texture and strong stability.
Shells: The Gustav cannon can fire two types of shells: armor-piercing shells and high-explosive shells. The armor-piercing shells weigh about 7 tons, while the high-explosive shells are slightly lighter, about 4.75 tons.
Maximum range: For high-explosive shells, the maximum range is 47km; while the maximum range of armor-piercing shells is 38km.
Rate of Fire: 14 rounds per day, which, while slow compared to modern artillery, was impressive considering the huge weight of the shells and their range.
Operators: The Gustav gun required up to 250 men to assemble within 54 hours, 2,500 more to lay the tracks (including the roadbed), and two anti-aircraft battalions to provide air defense.
Participation in the war
The Gustav gun made its debut in the Battle of Stalingrad, but due to difficulties in transportation and deployment, it did not fully exert its destructive power. In subsequent battles, such as the Battle of Kursk, the Gustav gun successfully destroyed many Soviet fortresses, demonstrating its powerful combat capability.
The Gustav Cannon, with its huge size, powerful power and unique parameter configuration, became an outstanding representative in the field of artillery during World War II.
Su Zhengyang was extremely excited. The so-called Gustav Cannon, wasn't it what netizens in later generations jokingly called the super cannon that conquered people with its virtue?
The 800MM artillery caliber is enough to make it explode with devastating power. A high-explosive bomb dropped is enough to cause devastating damage to everything within a diameter of 3 meters, leaving nothing behind.
The only drawback is that due to its large tonnage, it must be equipped with special rails in order to run slowly. It can only play a huge role in some special battlefields, such as fortress sieges.
After Su Zhengyang calmed himself down, he clicked on the second platinum treasure chest again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the permanent summoning authority of the Soviet Union's 62nd Army during World War II. ]
苏联第62集团军具体信息如下：苏联第62集团军是在二战期间组建的一支野战部队，其前身为1942年5月组建的第七预备役。在组建一个月后，该预备役被改组为第62集团军。
In the Battle of Stalingrad, the 62nd Army performed well and repeatedly repelled German troops that were several times larger than itself in urban defense operations. In April 1943, the 4nd Army was reorganized into the 62th Guards Army.
具体编制：包括近卫第33近卫师、第35近卫师以及步兵第87师、第98师、第112师、第131师、第196师、第229师、第244师、第315师和第399师。
The armored forces included the 23rd Tank Regiment and the 20th Tank Destroyer Brigade.
The total force was about 28, and the commander-in-chief was General Chuikov.
Su Zhengyang took a deep breath. The Soviet 62nd Army was another elite division that would go down in history. The Soviet 62nd Army was famous for its outstanding performance in the Battle of Stalingrad. It became an important force in World War II, posed a strong resistance to the German army, and made a significant contribution to the Soviet victory.
According to incomplete statistics, in this battle, facing the German Sixth Army, the Soviet 62nd Army would lose a division every five days.
Finally, at the end of 1942, the German 6th Army was finally defeated by the Soviet Army. The Soviet Army assembled a new force behind the front line, and this new force and the 62nd Army in the city joined forces to encircle and annihilate the German ace. With the victory of the Battle of Stalingrad, the 62nd Army also jumped from a rookie unit to the Soviet ace in World War II.
Although the 62nd Army withstood the joint attack of the two German trump cards and eventually cooperated with its brother units to completely devour the 6th Army, this heroic unit still paid a heavy price of being crippled.
Not only did they lose almost three quarters of their own troops, but also the more than 20 reinforcements that followed were almost all buried in Stalingrad. After the bloody battle, only 62 soldiers were left in the 5nd Army, and among these 5, there were only a few real reserve veterans.
After this bloody battle, the Soviet military command reorganized the 62nd Army and gave it a new name: "8th Guards Army".
The title of Guards was a recognition of the unit's heroic fighting in Stalingrad. When the Battle of Kursk broke out in July 1943, the 7th Guards Army went out again and once again crushed the German offensive, helping the Soviet Red Army to completely seize the strategic initiative on the Soviet-German battlefield.
In April 1945, the 4th Guards Army approached Berlin. A month later, Berlin fell, and Hitler and his evil Third Reich became history. From Stalingrad to Berlin, the 8th Guards Army crossed most of Europe, destroying cities and strongholds and making many military achievements.
After reading the information about the 62nd Army, Su Zhengyang couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart. This tenacious, iron-blooded and invincible army was about to be reborn from the ashes under his command and become a sharp sword in his hand pointing at Fuso!
