Although this is an old ship, the breeze is still there, and the sword is not old. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boom!" From the muzzle of the ship's gun, a huge fireball came out, and the tip of the fireball, a 280-mm projectile, flew out.

The fire of the muzzle illuminates the darkness before dawn, and if you look at it from the point of view of time, the shelling of this warship is the earliest, the first shot of the invasion of Poland!

The shooting of Zhu Yuan had long been determined, and the target was the Polish military base on the port of Danzig.

The four 280-mm naval guns rang out together for the first time, and at the same time, the other naval guns on the warship also began to fire.

The battleship was also armed with 14 170-mm SK L/40 naval guns and 20 88-mm SK L/35 naval guns. When all the ship's guns are fired together, this is simply a point of fire at sea, an arsenal ship.

One shell after another, they flew towards the Polish military base, and under the artillery fire, the attack on the Danzig corridor also began quickly.

The 4th Panzer Division of the 4th Army of the Law led the way from northern Germany into Polish territory, and their task was to encircle the "Pomerania" Army Group along the entire Danzig Corridor with the 2nd and 20th Motorized Divisions of the 19th Panzer Corps from East Prussia.

The Polish army group, which was stationed in the Danzig corridor, consisted of five infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade, and was commanded by General Bortenovsky.

After the Danzig Corridor, which was originally German territory, was seized by the Poles, the Germans living in this land were ostracized by the Poles from then on, and various conflicts often occurred, and the troops stationed here can be said to be the main culprits in the suppression of the local Germans!

The German army has long been eyeing them.

Now, the Waffen-SS is the most important armed force in Germany, and whatever good equipment is given priority to the Waffen-SS, which makes the army feel like a stepmother.

Although the number of armored divisions is still larger, and the army now has seven armored divisions, the establishment of the army's armored divisions is different from that of the Waffen-SS.

For example, the Waffen-SS had one panzer division with two panzer regiments and 336 tanks, while the German army's panzer division had only one panzer regiment with only 172 tanks.

At the same time, the army also has a lot less attached vehicles, and some wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are not in order, and more are replaced by motorcycles. The most advanced MP38 submachine gun is currently only equipped with the Waffen-SS, and ordinary armored divisions still use the MP36 submachine gun.

However, the 4th Panzer Division was an exception.

This armored division is an armored division that Hitler valued quite a lot at the beginning, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Hitler is also a bowl of water, so the 4th Panzer Division, in the Wehrmacht, has become a top division.

Like the Waffen-SS Panzer Division, this Panzer Division had two Panzer Regiments, the 35th and 36th, equipped with a total of 341 tanks and armored vehicles, and the advanced Panther-3 tanks.

And the commander of the armored division, Jorg Hans-Reinhardt, was a young man in the German army, he studied under Guderian, although he had never been to the desert, but he had thoroughly learned Guderian's blitzkrieg and had an epiphany.

Now, he leads the most advanced armored division in the Wehrmacht, and of course he has to build up some meritorious deeds.

Historically, his Panzer Division tore a breakthrough from the south and attacked all the way to Warsaw, but now, history has changed somewhat, and it is most appropriate to hand over the attacking troops to the Waffen-SS, and his Panzer Division needs to complete the task of dividing and encircling the "Pomorian" Army.

For the tank troops, this task is not difficult, on the border on this side, there are no too hard bones to gnaw, it can be said that the Poles did not enter a state of war at all, after a burst of artillery fire, Reinhardt's armored division, billowing black smoke, from northern Poland, all the way forward.

The torsion bar suspension of the Panther 3 tank is constantly shaking, and the Panther 3 tank, which is traveling at an off-road speed of 40 kilometers per hour, has become a beautiful scenery on the land of Poland.

The Polish army, still sluggish, the Panther 3 tanks, were already whizzing through the southern part of the Danzig corridor, and everyone cheered when they saw the flag on the opposite side in the distance.

The 20th motorized division, already from the direction of East Prussia, interspersed with them, joined them! A perfect encirclement has been formed, and now, just wait to narrow the encirclement and encircle and annihilate the Polish army inside!

The German army, the offensive is quite rapid, this speed, so that many military observers have opened their eyes, they have realized that a military change, has arrived.

Using aircraft, tanks and mechanized troops, quickly advancing, dividing and encircling the enemy, and then eating it in one bite, the charm of blitzkrieg lies in the fast, so fast that the enemy is simply out of breath, and there is no chance to defend at all.

Historically, Germany has achieved this goal with only the use of light tanks No. 1 and No. 2, creating miracles one after another.

Poland was conquered in 27 days, Denmark in 1 day, Norway in 23 days, the Netherlands in 5 days, Belgium in 18 days, and France in 39 days. These were created with small tanks.

And now, with the crossing of Ciric, the layout began more than ten years in advance, allowing the German tanks to be at least one generation ahead, at least five years, and the German blitzkrieg was even faster.

The Panther 3 tank, which has both the speed of a light tank and the power and protection of a heavy tank, can be said to be the most desired equipment for all armored troops in this era.

Progress on all fronts was quite smooth, and at this time, the whole of Europe, the whole world, was shocked.

At the end of last year, Hitler was assassinated, which made the whole of Europe breathe a sigh of relief, that terrible madman, finally died, hoping that Germany could have civil strife for a while, and that the new German leader could be less greedy.

At first, they were still vigilant, but slowly, the turmoil calmed down and there was nothing, which finally reassured them.

And it was at this time that Germany suddenly attacked. On the evening of the first day, they announced the assassination at the behest of the Poles, and then, in the early hours of that day, launched an attack on Poland.

Everything was so fast, so fast that everyone couldn't react, and at a second glance, millions of German troops had already entered the territory of Poland.

This is also a naked slap in the face of Britain and France.

Chamberlain, who got off the plane, did not return to England, but in Paris, and consulted urgently with the Radadi.

What to do?
