Chapter 109: The Battle of the World (2)
The city of Warsaw has calmed down for the time being, the "Skeleton Division", "Imperial Division" and "Viking Division" all need to adjust their deployment and study the key points they attack first, Rommel is of course the busiest, Rommel must connect these key points in series, to divide there first, cut off there, and annihilate there first, all need Rommel to co-ordinate.
……
The sound of guns and cannons in Warsaw City reached Zhang Jun's ears, indicating that the battle to attack Warsaw City had begun, and the surrounding area of the ring defense position was also full of dangers and dangers, and Zhang Jun must muster up 120,000 spirit to deal with this dangerous situation.
"Report: The Polish Panzer Division to the north has begun to set off and pounce on me for its position."
"Order, Bitrich with a hundred tanks and corresponding armored vehicles, as well as two regiments of infantry, all in armored cars and cars, to meet me head-on."
The commander of the "Prince Eugen" division, Beatrich, finally had the opportunity to assault with the tank group he dreamed of, because the "Prince Eugen Division" was formed for a short time, and of course its status in Zhang Jun's mind was much lower, and of course there were many fewer opportunities to be used as the main force, and this battle may be a turnaround battle for the "Prince Eugen Division".
After receiving the order to attack, Beatrich hurriedly mobilized his sortie forces, the "Prince Eugen Division" had long been a first-class combat readiness, all tanks were filled with fuel and ammunition, the tankers were on standby at any time, and the armored vehicles were the same, neatly arranged, the drivers of the armored vehicles, and the machine gunners never left the car, and even the soldiers on board were all waiting for orders next to the armored vehicles.
Bitrich was followed by two infantry regiments, numbering about 5,000, and only 100 armored vehicles, which could only carry 1,200 soldiers. As early as last night, Bitrich used his imagination to put a circle of sandbags in the compartments of those empty trucks, and then tied sandbags to key positions such as the water tank in front of the truck, and a (sandbag) armored truck came out, and finally put a squad on top of the truck, so that this armored truck was a mobile fire fortress, ten copycat Type 56 submachine guns, one copycat Type 56 light machine gun, a fifty-millimeter mortar, and several boxes of "iron fist", this truck was a nightmare for the infantry.
Of course, this kind of mobile firepower "fortress" - "sandbag trucks" will definitely be the priority target of the enemy's various heavy weapons, can it be better than Trich will let them rush to the front line? Of course not, the first place in the "blitzkrieg" will always be the tank, and the other arms are all equipped for the tank to fight better, and the tank is the soul. After Bitrich knocked out the enemy's artillery and tanks, the "sandbag trucks" came into play, and the Polish troops, who only had light weapons, were not lambs to the slaughter in front of the "sandbag trucks".
Zhang Jun divided the other 52 tanks into two groups and placed them on the southeast side of the circular position, and at the same time there were two regiments of infantry from the "Prince Eugen Division", whose task was to block the Polish army that broke through the B-29 bombardment.
The support of the Luftwaffe arrived quickly, and the distance of 300 kilometers was only half an hour, and at such a distance, the average fighter hung two 250-kilogram bombs, and they had to be thrown away in a short time, otherwise the fuel would not be enough to return home, and the bombers could calmly drop bombs.
"Woooooooooo......oo Buzzing...... Buzz ......"
Two huge groups of planes each rushed to their own goals, the whole sky was full of black pressure, the hollow was a mixed formation, there were BF109 fighters, they didn't fly high, only about four thousand meters, they were hanging two black and shiny bombs under their wings without exception, and then there were all kinds of medium bombers and dive bombers, there were HE117, JU87, etc., all flying low and slow, it seemed that they were all loaded with all kinds of bombs. High in the sky is a huge fleet of B-29s, more than 200 B-29s are facing each other with Mount Tai pressing on the top, and the momentum is enough to make a country's soul fly.
Soon this huge fleet began to diverge, the medium-altitude mixed fleet turned to the north, and the high-altitude B-29 group turned around and flew in two directions, east and south.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
The grass on the ground was shaken from side to side by the shock wave in the air, and countless insects and grasshoppers jumped around in panic among the grass, trying to find a safe place for themselves, as long as these planes did not drop bombs, it was their peaceful home, as long as they dropped bombs, with their little nests, it was not a safe place to hide.
"Report to the Commander: B-29 bomber squadron arrives in the combat area, requests orders."
"Order them to carry out horizontal bombardment at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, so that there is not a single grass left in the area where they pass."
"Yes, there is not a single grass left in the place where it passes."
Zhang Jun is also ruthless, in this critical moment of life and death, there is no mercy to say, every 120 B-29 bombers against the Polish army in one direction, dare not say that all the Polish troops can be blown up to the ground, at least it is certain that after the bombing of hundreds of B-29s, several divisions of the Polish army are still incapable of organizing an attack, if it is not done, B-29 will do it again, such a fierce carpet bombing, is the most tenacious army, and his will to fight will also be bombed to the ground.
The B-29 that got the order began to adjust the course and grouping, and flew towards the marching army that was still carrying out air defense evasion on the ground, and below the B-29, countless anti-aircraft guns were firing fiercely, Marshal Luo Ci knew that he had lost air supremacy, so he allocated all the air defense weapons that could be mobilized to the anti-encirclement force, and countless brilliant "fireworks" exploded two kilometers below the memory of the B-29, and the maximum caliber of the Polish anti-aircraft guns was only 75 mm, and the vertical firing height was 8,000 meters to the sky. However, the B-29 flew at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, so the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground could only set off "fireworks", and it could not hit the high-altitude B-29 at all, which is why Zhang Jun had asked Hitler to buy the B-29 at the beginning, and now the advantages of the B-29 have come out.
"Buzz...... Streaming down...... 簌簌......"
Every group of ten B-29s, lined up in a neat queue and began to drop bombs, like hail bombs poured down to the ground, people on the ground scrambled to find cover, and the originally neat marching army suddenly dispersed.
With such a large-scale bombardment, where can those panicked Polish troops flee, they were on the march in the first place, and they did not dig any bunkers, so it can be said that these Polish troops have nowhere to escape, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, they can only pray to God not to let the bomb fall within 20 meters of themselves, because the absolute killing distance of a 10-kilogram aerial bomb is 20 meters. Twenty to 30 meters will be seriously injured, 30-50 meters will be lightly injured, and shrapnel will kill 150 meters.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Streams of black gunpowder smoke rose from the ground, some unknown things were brought into the sky by the violent explosion, and various vehicles on the ground could clearly see it being torn into pieces by the violent explosion, and the black gunpowder smoke temporarily covered the hellish scene on the ground, and life was like a piece of paper here, and it was suddenly wiped out.
"Adjust the course, the course is five degrees to the left, okay, keep it stable like this, the bombardier aims, ready to drop the bomb ......"
The navigator calmly commanded his B-29, and the pilot did his best to maintain the route indicated by the navigator, perfect and unified, after all, everyone has been with the crew for a long time, and this difficulty is pediatric.
"Boom...... Boom...... 簌簌......"
The B-29 overhead was throwing bombs endlessly, but the ground was like an abyss, and as long as the bombing continued, this torment would continue, and only God knew how many people and equipment were lucky enough to escape the bombing.
……
Ambitiously leading his tank assault group, armored vehicle group, and mighty "sandbag truck" fire sweep group, Bitrich rushed forward head-on to the Polish armored division.
The SS is charging, the Polish army is also charging, the Luftwaffe will soon come to support, the Polish tank division must be entangled with the SS as soon as possible, so the Polish tanks are also galloping, and the speed is still very fast, because the Polish tanks are light tanks, several tons or ten tons of tanks, the maximum caliber of the weapons on the tank is 50 mm 28 times the short gun, and the penetration can have a 70 mm to the sky.
The Luftwaffe arrived before the Polish and SS tanks met:
"Woooooooooo......oo Flutter ...... Rumble......"
A JU87 dive bomber roared and rushed down, and the Polish army's various aviation weapons tilted their ammunition at the JU87 to the fullest, "fluttering and ......", the aviation artillery did not hit the plane, but the anti-aircraft machine gun on the ground made several big holes in the JU87 fuselage, fortunately did not hit the vital parts, and the JU87 staggered and dropped two 500-kilogram aerial bombs at a time.
"Boom...... Woowoo woo ......"
The ju87 that had finished dropping the bomb pulled it up with difficulty, roaring and flying towards his own airfield, the two bombs that were originally aimed did not hit the galloping Polish thin-skinned tank, because the Polish tank was light, so the mobility was strong, and when the two bombs landed, the two light tanks had run far away, and the two heavy bombs only blew up a big crater on the ground.
Poland's tank divisions are not as orderly as the German tank divisions, and the Polish army does not know the "blitzkrieg" theory, nor does it have training in this area, and their tanks exist purely for the infantry, that is to say, the tank theory of the Polish army is still at a level where infantry is the mainstay and tanks are supplemented, while Germany is mainly tanks, and other arms of the army are grouped and deployed around tanks, and the Polish army is a grade behind in tactical arrangements and military theories.
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom...... Woowoo...... Boom"
A JU87 and a horizontal bomber were hit, let out a desperate hiss, and fell to the ground with billowing smoke, and with a "boom", the German plane in close contact with the ground exploded violently, and the aviation fuel instantly wrapped the plane, and several white parachutes in the sky slowly fell......
