At the fire lines

Grandiose battles with massive tank attacks were played out on the Oryol-Kursk direction. The artillery of the Red Army brilliantly fulfilled the role of shield and striking force in the defeat of elite tank and motorized divisions of the enemy. Artillerymen made a worthy contribution to the brilliant victory of Soviet troops in the Battle of Kursk. How were artillery groupings created and their firing system built? How was anti-tank defense created on tank-dangerous directions? How was the artillery massed and artillery preparation for the attack carried out? How were the units and military units of the Red Army provided with weapons, ammunition, and material resources? Who was in charge of the artillery of the fronts and armies? The answers to these questions can be found in this work. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, for all those interested in the problems of Russian military history.
