Why is the Battle of Belarus a battle between artillery?

From the development of human history to the present, many people will praise the role of artillery, and God calls artillery the god of war. Artillery is based on the use of artillery, rocket launchers and campaign tactical missiles to carry out long-range strikes, mainly performing fire assault missions.

Napoleon could have walked sideways in Europe with the firepower of this kind of artillery. Later, the Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher made the Germans mistakenly think that it was covered by the fire of an artillery division, which explained to us that in war, artillery is the absolute power of fire.

In fact, there was a classic battle dominated by artillery in World War II, which was the battle of Belarus on the Soviet-German battlefield. 1On June 23rd, 944, the Soviet Union launched a three-month campaign in Belarus in order to crush the German central army group in Belarus and tear the entire German defense line on the Soviet-German battlefield.

During the preparation period, the Soviet Union used 500 trains to transport soldiers and 3 million metric tons of materials to the front, thus giving the Soviet Union absolute weapons superiority in all offensive directions. The Soviet army participated in the war in four aspects: 166 divisions, 12 tanks and 2 1 brigade mechanized troops, more than 4000 people, 365438 guns and mortars, 5200 tanks and self-propelled guns, and 1000 planes.

The Germans invested 63 divisions and 3 brigades1.2000 troops, 900 artillery pieces and assault guns, and 1000 planes. After two hours of artillery preparation, the Fourth Army almost simultaneously launched an attack on the road sections 70- 150 km apart, with 150-200 guns and mortars distributed every kilometer.

The Soviet army charged under the cover of artillery fire and broke through the German line in one day. By June 27th, the Soviets had surrounded the west of Vitebsk and annihilated five army groups in the direction of Bo Bruis.

On June 29th, the Soviet encirclement and suppression annihilated six German divisions. On July 1 1 day, the Soviet troops in Minsk annihilated the main force of the German Fourth Army, and the Soviet army ended one of the biggest battles in World War II in only 19 days.

Adowa 17 German division lost more than half of its 59 divisions, * * * wiped out 540,000 Germans and shot down 2,000 planes, which not only eased the crisis of Soviet troops in the southern line, but also opened the shortest road to Germany.

Soviet artillery, as an unsung hero supporting the Great Patriotic War, perfectly demonstrated the Soviet Union's perfect aesthetics of violence at both ends of attack and defense. Although its aura was captured by armored forces, its achievements as the greatest hero in the war will not be erased. Although the Soviet artillery had a high casualty rate at the beginning of World War II, it was still a formidable arm.

1944, in order to commemorate the outstanding contribution of Soviet artillery to the Great Patriotic War, the annual 1 19 was designated as the Soviet artillery festival, which was the first time that the Soviet government specially set up a festival for one arm.
