Chapter 442: Shoot at Me (Added Change)
When the first white light appeared in the East, the entire European land was plunged into war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thousands of Stuka dive bombers, taking off from various airfields in Germany, suddenly bombed airfields, railway junctions, heavy concentration areas and cities in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
At 5:30, on a front of more than 300 kilometers between the North Sea and the Maginot Line, German ground forces launched a large-scale offensive against the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, opening the prelude to the invasion of France.
There are various theories about the signs of the outbreak of World War II, such as the invasion of Poland or the invasion of the Czech Republic.
However, it is certain that in the past, wars were small-scale, and now, the invasion of France, has finally turned into a large-scale war, because this is a contest between the strongest two sides on the European continent!
Among them, the most fierce attack was the German Army Group B, which first attacked important bridges and fortress facilities in the Netherlands and Belgium with airborne troops. Immediately afterwards, the armored units of Army Group B took advantage of the chaos to launch a fierce attack.
For a time, the Netherlands and Belgium panicked, especially Belgium, which had just started the war, and their most trusted and proud fortress fell into the hands of the German army!
The Germans must not be allowed to succeed!
Just after the Eben-Emar fortress was occupied by the Germans, the counterattack of the Belgian army began!
After all, this is the most reliable fortress for the Belgians, and its importance is comparable to that of the Maginot Line.
Throughout the history of World War II, the Maginot Line was famous, but Eben? Little is known about the fortress of Emar, the most important reason being that it was too cheap for the Germans to take it.
Four hundred soldiers on gliders occupied this place, which surprised the Belgian high-level who patted their chests and said that the fortress was impregnable.
At the same time, the surrounding armies also began to move rapidly towards the fortress, and they had to drive out the German soldiers here before the main German forces advanced here!
Inside the fortress, Major Bridgetrand, over the phone, urgently called to the rear: "Shoot me, shoot me!" ”
Now the defenders inside the fortress were faced with a rather difficult choice.
The losses of the defenders were not significant, only the death of a few dozen soldiers who fell outside, the main forces were still there, however, they were not capable of fighting.
It's not that there is no will, but there is no way, because the defenders are inside the fortress, and the Germans are on the top of the fortress, when all the passages are destroyed, the defenders inside the fortress want to go out and fight, and it becomes an impossible task.
What to do?
At such a time, Major Bridgeland did not care about his own life, and shouted urgently to the rear, firing cannons!
Actually, there is not much danger, because your fortress is quite strong and can withstand the attack of your artillery, and at the same time, the top of your fortress, those Germans, are exposed, and they are bombarded with artillery fire!
Shoot at me!
A few minutes after the call was made, the artillerymen of the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 1st Belgian Army finally deployed their artillery.
Originally, they were near the fortress, only their cannons were aimed at the opposite side, and now, exhausted, the artillerymen turned their cannons around and prepared to reload.
This FSH-13 howitzer, which is 150 mm caliber, sounds big, but it is thick and short, compared with the large-caliber howitzers of later generations, this howitzer is almost like a cannon battle, this is an old howitzer of the First World War.
Just look at the four wheels below, they are all made of iron, but they are just wrapped with a layer of rubber, and the operation of this kind of artillery is quite inconvenient.
Just as they had adjusted the angle of the artillery, bound to shoot Zhu Yuan, and were ready to fire, there was a rumbling sound in the distant sky.
Not good!
One of the gunners, shielding himself from the sun with his hands and looking at the sky in the distance, saw the distinctive seagull wings and immediately shouted: "It's Stuka!" ”
Bombers of the Germans!
During World War II, the Germans almost conquered the whole of Europe, which shows that the Germans also have an advantage, and their greatest advantage is their advanced military theory.
France and Belgium were still building fortresses with their large sums of money based on the experience of the First World War, in an attempt to stop Germany in this way.
And what about the Germans? They have never been stubborn, they are advocates of advanced military science and technology, and they are still more practitioners of advanced theories.
For example, the centralized use of tanks, for example, the use of the air force to support the land, this theory of air-ground integrated warfare will still be outdated in later generations.
Now, the whole fortress, including the three nearby bridges, all added up, was only 400 German soldiers, isolated and surrounded by Belgians, how were they going to survive this most dangerous time?
Using the Air Force, of course!
The entire fortress was isolated, and after taking control of the three bridges, the nearby Belgian troops, likewise could not reach the fortress, and at the same time, the Stuka bombers, would protect their safety!
Hans was quite excited.
Before dawn, he had already taken part in an operation to bring back the outdated glider with his Stuka bomber, and at the same time, he attacked several searchlights to cover the return of the Junkers-52 transport unit.
When he returned to the base, the other squadrons attacking Luxembourg had already taken off, and his original target was also assigned by others, so he received a new mission to protect the fortress!
The Stuka bomber, loaded with two 500-kilogram bombs and loaded with machine-gun bullets, set sail for the second time, and when he flew over here, he began to fly around the fortress.
Relying on the pilot's eyesight, he visually spotted an artillery position five kilometers away, and those large-caliber howitzers actually turned and aimed at the fortress.
Is this worth it? As soon as he found out about the situation, Hans pushed the lever and piloted his Stuka bomber towards the artillery position.
When he swooped down from the air, his vision was better, and this artillery position, without anti-aircraft guns guarding it, was simply an excellent target!
Moreover, those ammunition boxes are actually piled up together!
Stuka was whistling, and as Hans got in his sights, the boxes of ammunition were getting closer and bigger. The artillerymen all around were running away in a panic.
When the distance was less than a hundred meters, Hans pressed the throw button.
500 kg of bombs, fall accurately!
