The artifact of the Soviet Union to reverse World War II: Katyusha multi-barrel rocket launcher

Katyusha multi-barrel rocket launcher is the first self-propelled rocket launcher mass-produced and put into use by the Soviet Union in World War II. Compared with other artillery, these multi-barrel rockets can quickly dump a lot of explosives at the target, but the accuracy is low and the loading time is long. Although they are more fragile than other guns, they are cheap and easy to produce.

During World War II, Katyusha became the first self-propelled gun mass-produced by the Soviet Union, which was often mounted on trucks. Compared with other self-propelled artillery, this mobility has brought Katyusha other advantages: it can put in a lot of firepower at one time and leave quickly before being attacked by counter-offensive artillery. Its rocket launchers are American-aided Chevrolet G7 100 and Ford-Ma Meng Charrington HH6-COE4.

The launcher of this rocket launcher is marked with the letter "K", which is the symbol of Voronezh * * * International Factory (723 Factory of Soviet Ammunition People's Committee, now Voronezh Excavator Factory), and K is the first letter of Russian word * * * International.

Because the rocket launcher was strictly confidential at that time, and the Red Army soldiers didn't know its official name, they named it "Katyusha" according to the letter "K", a woman's nickname, which quickly spread among the Soviet troops. Germans call it "Stalin's organ" (German: Stalinorgel).

The slide rail bed of Katyusha multi-barrel rocket launcher has eight launching slide rails, and each slide rail is hung with a rocket. It can launch 16 rocket launcher, with a caliber of132mm and a maximum range of 8.5km, and can be used for single shot, partial volley or volley. The body of the rocket combat part is TNT explosive. The cartridge part consists of seven tubular propellant cartridges.

It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to load a volley ammunition, and only 7 to 10 seconds to load a volley ammunition. The transport vehicle is 90 kilometers per hour. The gun has strong firepower and wide killing range. It is an effective weapon to destroy the enemy's intensive forces, suppress the enemy's firepower distribution and destroy the enemy's fortifications in a large area.

Katyusha's weapons in World War II included BM- 13 rocket launcher, light BM-8 and heavy BM-3 1. Up to now, Katyusha's name has been used on relatively new Soviet vehicle-mounted multi-barrel rockets-especially BM-2 1 and its derivative models.

The story of the Soviet song Katyusha;

194 1 On June 22nd, 2000, the Soviet-German War broke out, and the Germans attacked the Soviet Union in three directions: north, middle and south. In less than a month, the millions of German Army Groups A and B swept through the Soviet Red Army forces that blocked it and went straight to Moscow.

194 1 In the Soviet Union in July, there was no news except killing and death. Germans swept from the not-too-distant west and danced the dance of death to those Russians who refused to retreat (or were not allowed to retreat). Belarus completely fell in just one month, and endless bodies piled up on the endless Yuan Ye in Ukraine. Even the ripe taste of wheat is not enough to cover up the stench of rotting corpses.

Kill or die, every adult man is faced with two terrible choices; Women can't stay out of war. They rushed to the factory in the rear to make tanks, planes, cannons and guns, and sent the killing tools off the assembly line with slender fingers. Every straw is used to support the front line, because failure means the demise of the whole nation, and then all wealth and feelings are useless.

They are in the most prosperous age, and love, career and good life should be the topics they talk about every day and everything they experience every day; However, now they face death every day and create death. If death doesn't come today, it will haunt your soul every day in the future, so that you won't miss anything good except death.

In the first few months of the war, most soldiers sent to the battlefield will not come back. Many soldiers rushed to the assembly place from home, school or work unit, put on military uniforms for the first time in their lives, and didn't even have time to write a farewell letter. It seems that nothing can stop the Germans except life.

Only by building a wall in front of the Germans with the lives of the best and most energetic young people of this nation can their tanks stop driving and their military boots sink into the mud. The soldiers of the Third Infantry Division of Guards are such a group of young people. They left Moscow on July evening 194 1 and went to the front of Dnieper River. This is a doomed battle, doomed to be a point of no return. ...

One day in mid-July, in the city of Moscow, the newly-made Third Division of the Red Guards rushed to the front. Among the people who saw the young soldiers off, a group of female students from an industrial school in Moscow sang this song: "Just as pear blossoms bloom all over the world ..." Girls used this love song to see the young soldiers off, which undoubtedly caused a strong tremor in the hearts of boys.

During the singing, all the officers and men of the Third Guards Division gave a solemn military salute to the singing girls. They walked to the front with this song with tears of excitement. A few days later, almost all the soldiers of this division were killed in the extremely tragic Dnieper River blockade. ...

But after all, they hit the armored forces of guderian and Manstein, the most elite German troops known as "Scud", and won valuable time for the Soviet army to form the last line of defense to defend Moscow.

Since then, Katyusha's songs have been flying along the trenches with thick war smoke. This song spread from Moscow, and for a time, it was sung everywhere in Leningrad in the north and Kiev in the south, at the front line of 1000 km, at the front line, at the rear, and throughout the Soviet Union.

1in the spring of 945, more than 2.5 million people of the Red Army of the Soviet Union broke through the border of Bode and invaded Germany, forming a situation of attack between the north and the south, and surrounded Berlin, the home of Nazi Germany. April 16, the final decisive battle came.

It was pear blossom season. On the way forward, many troops sang Katyusha in unison, accompanied by the roar of more than 2000 Katyusha rockets! An army correspondent wrote excitedly at the time: "My God, what is this?"? Just like Katyusha's song "Attack Berlin"! "

After the war, the Soviet authorities established a memorial hall for Katyusha in recognition of its great inspiring role in the war, which should be the first case in the history of human war and music. Nowadays, the Russian army regards Katyusha as the March of the designated queue and is widely sung by the soldiers! The commemoration will never end!

Although the bloody war was extinguished with the demise of the Third Reich, the 26 million lives lost by the war will never return. ...

Hitler's ambition and the red swastika flag were buried in the fire, and the immortal battle song Katyusha was handed down forever. Russia's Katyusha proved to be memorable and worthy of the souls of soldiers in front of their dreams; Boys who miss Katyusha have also been proved worthy of this victory and their eternal love with Katyusha. In front of Katyusha's unyielding steel-like love, all the weak and moaning love is so eclipsed.
