Chapter 227: Long Drive (II)
Soon a huge group of planes swept over Bismarck, they roared and rushed to the position of the Polish army, and in an instant countless aerial bombs fell from the sky, of course, the Polish artillery was the first to suffer, one cannon was lifted into the air by 250 kilograms of aerial bombs, and when the cannon fell to the ground, it was already a scattered part, the Polish army's anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, the same color to the planes in the air.
"Bumper ......" that's anti-aircraft guns firing, "da-da......" this is the sound of anti-aircraft machine guns, "boom ......" this is the sound of aerial bombs. "Boom ......" This is the sound of various ammunition flying. All kinds of voices were intertwined with the Polish position, and the whole position was filled with gunsmoke, and there were huge craters, like craters on the surface of the moon, dense and irregular.
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom ......"
A JU87 dive bomber dived down against an aviation anti-aircraft gun, and the shooter of which anti-aircraft gun also held a mortal mentality and fired fiercely at the JU87 that dived down in the air, "bumper ...... The hot bullets ejected from the anti-aircraft gun ...... squirted out of the muzzle, and the scream of ju87's "woo woo" was getting closer and closer, and the kind of call that was almost like death was indeed terrifying.
But which anti-aircraft gun witnessed the tragic end of several guns around him, as well as the broken body of his comrades, he was determined to fight to the death with this ju87.
"Woooooooooo......oo Flutter"
The ju87 in the air was finally hit by the anti-aircraft gun on the ground when it was diving, and a fire ignited in the air, and the entire fuselage was shrouded in billowing smoke, and I don't know what the pilot of the ju87 thought, anyway, there was no parachute jump, and there was no bombing. In this way, with thick smoke, which Polish anti-aircraft gun dived down, and the "boom ......" shook the mountains for a while. Four 250-kilogram aerial bombs, plus jet fuel from the aircraft. With the addition of anti-aircraft gun ammunition, this violent explosion caused not a single person to live within a radius of 100 meters, and a large crater 10 meters deep and more than 30 meters wide was directly exploded.
The main target of the JU87 attack was artillery, and the DO17 horizontal bombers were bombing in formation, specifically for surface bombing, because Gerd's aviation division only carried out tactical bombing. Therefore, the range requirements are not very high, and the DO17 has excellent performance, a range of 1200 km, a combat radius of 600 km, and a bomb load of 3 tons, which is also very moderate, and the aerial bombs used by DO17 are also different from JU87, which uses two 500 kg or 4 250 kg aerial bombs.
The DO17 uses a 10-kilogram aerial bomb, which is smashed down at a height of several thousand meters, and in a violent explosion, the power of a 10-kilogram aerial bomb is equivalent to the power of a 203-millimeter artillery shell. Twenty-five meters nearby is the absolute killing range, and he was not hit by shrenchnel but was also killed by the impact. A DO17 carried 300 bombs and carpet-bombed like dumplings. The Polish army below can survive in addition to the reinforced concrete bunker. But it will also be shocked and bleed from the internal organs, which is of little use in the trenches at all, and 25 to 50 meters is all kinds of concussion injuries, and it will also be killed by shrapnel within 200 meters.
After the Polish army lost air supremacy, the heavy casualties of the ground troops were already doomed, and no matter how heroic the Polish army was, it could not be changed, and this was caused by the gap in the country's science and technology and strength.
The first wave of bombing had just ended, for which the aviation division also lost five Ju87s. The JU87 dive bomber has a high bombing accuracy, that is, it is easy to be hit by ground anti-aircraft fire. There's no way around it. As soon as the planes of the first wave of bombing began to return home, the second wave of bombing came. It can be said that this round of bombing is basically to destroy most of the Polish army's artillery and anti-aircraft firepower and pillboxes, and as soon as this round of bombing is over, the Polish army on the ground has already spared what heavy weapons are available, and even the reinforced concrete bunkers have been completely destroyed, except for the hidden forts that can be preserved, and the Polish troops on the defensive line have suffered extremely heavy casualties.
By the time the second round of aircraft began to bomb, Bismarck's tank assault group had reached 10 kilometers out of the Polish front, and the artillery following the tank assault group began to urgently establish artillery positions, and Bismarck began to slow down and approach the Polish defense line, waiting for Bismarck's artillery to bombard the Polish defense line for more than ten minutes.
The tanks led by Bismarck were already 500 meters in front of the Polish front, and as soon as the sound of artillery stopped, Bismarck's tank cluster roared, like a tiger descending from a mountain, patting a neat queue, accompanied by armored vehicles began to charge, in this case, what did the Polish army do to resist the German army's steel frenzy, and the Polish army of the entire front could only be crushed to pieces by the tanks, and those who did not surrender could only go to hell.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Polish army to hold the defensive line, and the German army's ability to coordinate operations between multiple arms showed shocking combat effectiveness at this time. It was also a great initiative for the armored forces to set up a separate aviation division to assist the attack, and it was indeed very useful from the point of view of the actual combat effect.
Bismarck's tank assault group, roaring and roaring, crushed the Polish position, and the Polish army, which was not dead, also began a desperate counterattack, and all kinds of weapons fired fiercely at the galloping tank assault group.
"Dada...... Bumper ...... Boom ......"
Machine guns, mortars, and a small number of remnants of 37 mm anti-tank guns can only leave a trace on the knockdown of Tank No. 4, and they cannot penetrate the armor of more than 80 mm on the front of Tank No. 4. And the 50-mm anti-tank gun could still penetrate the armor of tank No. 4 at a distance of five hundred meters. In the whole assault operation, only one No. 4 tank was destroyed, but the Polish army's 50-mm anti-tank guns were immediately bombarded into slag by more than a dozen 75-mm tank guns, and the personnel of which artillery company were directly reimbursed.
The German tank suddenly appeared beyond the defense of this era, at this time the defensive armor of tanks in the world was generally only more than 30 mm, while the front armor of German tanks had reached 80 mm. For example, the Polish army does not even have many 5mm anti-tank guns, so what can the Polish army do to destroy German tanks, grenades or explosive-medicine packets, but that must also be able to rely on German tanks!
The German tank is a new thing that suddenly appeared, and it can also be said to be a new deterrent weapon against other countries, and now the world is equipped with 37 and 50 mm anti-tank guns, and the penetration of 50 mm anti-tank guns within 500 meters is about 80-90 mm, and the current No. 4 tank has a 35-degree inclined front armor, even if it is a 50mm anti-tank gun, it is afraid that it is impossible to destroy the No. 4 tank at a distance of about 500 meters, and it is possible to destroy the No. 4 tank at a distance of about 500 meters.
However, the 75mm tank gun on the No. 4 tank is not a vegetarian, and the idea that one weapon can determine the outcome of a war is never advisable, and the victory or defeat of a war ultimately depends on the overall national strength. (To be continued) R861
