Про Катюши на прямой наводке (+)
Со ссылкой на книжку "Противотанковая борьба", генерал-майор Бирюков, полковник Мельников, отдельные личности рассказывают, что при форсировани немцами Дона в 1942 году несколько полков гвардейских минометов было выдвинуто им навстречу и прямой наводкой с открытых позиций разнесли всю халабуду вдребезги и напополам. Особо отличился 18 ракетно-артилерийский полк под командованием капитана Плотникова.... Кроме того, прямую наводку гв. минометов якобы массово применяли в Сталинграде, на Курской Дуге и других местах.
Цитата:
"Antitank efforts were also enhanced by participation of all artillery in the repelling the enemy's attacks, including antiaircraft and rocket artillery. For example, when the nazi troops broke through to Stalingrad across the Don river and there were no Soviet troops in their way, whole regiments of rocket artillery were rushed forward and with a hurricane of fire from open positions wiped out the attacking enemy motorised and mechanised troops. One of the most brilliant actions was fought by Captain (now Colonel) Plotnikov, commander of a battalion of Katyushas of the 18th Rocket Launcher Regiment.
Other rocket launcher regiments (4th, 5th, 79th, 86th, 51st, 93rd, 99th and 85th) also delivered massed direct fire (emphasis mine) in full (or battalion) strength to repel the massed armoured attacks of the enemy
at Stalingrad, on the Kursk Bulge and in a number of other operations."
