Chapter 693: Hitler's lifesaver

readx;

The Chinese Emperor successfully carried out the beheading operation, destroyed the Nazi American High Command in one fell swoop, and successfully achieved the strategic goal of splitting the United States through the rebellion plan, which shocked the whole world and increased the fear of the Chinese Empire.

The hardest hit was naturally the Third Reich, which was also in the camp of the Nazi Allies, and Hitler wept bitterly for several days after learning that Roosevelt had been killed and that the United States had collapsed into thirteen countries. Hitler was saddened by the loss of Roosevelt, a fellow Nazi, but even more saddened by the fact that the German Empire was deprived of an overseas reinforcement. The fall of the United States left the German Empire completely alone, and for the first time Hitler felt powerless in the face of a powerful European offensive led by the Chinese Empire.

For Hitler, he would not be able to speak of defeat until the last second when the enemy pointed a gun at him, and his character doomed the Third Reich to a crushing defeat, but it also became a shot in the arm for Nazi Germany to develop asymmetrical power.

"A nuclear test explosion within a month, or all those involved in the nuclear program will be executed!"

Hitler ignored the pleas of Deputy Führer Rudolf and a group of military and political officials, and resolutely gave the order to die.

Of course, Hitler cannot be blamed for this, he was also forced to do so. After all, in the past two months, the United has won successive victories in the battles of Rouen, the Somme, and the Ardennes in the Western European theater. The coalition forces won three battles and three victories, and completely annihilated Rommel's 220,000 German mechanized troops in Rouen. At the Somme, 310,000 mechanized and semi-mechanized units of the German army under the command of Blomburg were disabled.

In these two battles, the allied forces invested 1.7 million troops, mobilized 150,000 aircraft, 8,000 combat vehicles and 50,000 artillery pieces, and wiped out the most elite units of Nazi Germany, causing the Germans to lose one-third of their mechanized troops.

The Battle of the Ardennes, launched at the end of August, defeated the 200,000 German mountain combat troops personally supervised by Heinrich in one fell swoop, and captured the Maginot Line, which was once the pride of the French. The main force of the First Army of the Imperial Chinese Army broke into the German mainland, captured most of Lorraine, and destroyed all the facilities of the German army's heavy industrial area there. To add insult to injury, the German army, which was already strapped for resources, was a fatal blow to the German army.

The United forces won three battles and three victories in the French theater in Western Europe, and the same is true of the third European theater opened by the coalition forces in southern Europe.

After the surrender of Italy, Hitler ordered the German army to capture most of Italy, which not only could not stop the joint landing offensive in Italy, Greece and other southern European countries, but also caused the German army to be further dispersed because of the capture of major Italian cities. ╔╗

And the most lethal thing for the Germans was the lack of naval and air support. The Mediterranean Task Force composed of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy and the Third Fleet of the British Royal Navy. Powerful naval and air fire support for joint forces landing in places such as Italy and Greece. Italy was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and Greece was mostly surrounded by the Aegean Sea, a German defense force that created a fatal hole. Under the powerful naval and air fire of the Allied forces, the Germans suffered heavy losses.

The Allied forces landing from southern Europe soon grew to 700,000 men, while the German forces in the region were dwindling to less than 100,000. Coupled with the continuous defeat of the German army in the Western European battlefield, the German army was forced to withdraw its troops from southern Europe and return to the mainland. In this way, the coalition forces in southern Europe quickly gained comprehensive superiority in the army, navy, and air force, with the cooperation of local guerrillas. The coalition forces soon recovered all of Italy and Greece.

In the Eastern European theater, although the Soviet army was heavily defeated by the German army and lost its offensive capability, the Armenian army, which was fully armed by the Chinese Empire, and the Turkish army, which was strongly supported by the Chinese Empire, showed their skills.

After the Soviet army was wounded, the Chinese Empire believed that the Soviet Union would not pose a threat to the Chinese Empire for the time being, so it began to actively launch attacks on the battlefields of Eastern Europe. ╔╗

As a hardcore ally of the Chinese Empire. Armenia became the first country to be equipped with helicopter gunships of the Chinese Empire. After the powerful helicopter gunships were equipped with the Armenian army, the combat effectiveness of this small national army of only 200,000 people soared dramatically, and its combat effectiveness was so strong that both Britain and France felt ashamed.

Relying on its strong combat effectiveness and under the premise that the Chinese Empire was fully responsible for logistical support, the Armenian Army successively launched the Battle of the Don River, the Battle of Mykolaiv, the Battle of Solma and the Battle of Napoca, defeated the main force of the 14th Panzer Division of the German SS in southern Ukraine and the elite Romanian First Army, and liberated southern Ukraine and northeastern Romania within a month.

In the Battle of Napoca. The 1st Panzer Division of the Armenian Army and the 3rd Panzer Division of the German SS came head-on, and the heaviest tank battle to date broke out.

Since the Napoca region was an important German oil supply area in Romania, if it were occupied by the Allied forces, the German oil supply would be reduced by more than half. This is despite the fact that Germany has already successfully developed and actually produced coal-fired oil. ╔╗But at this time, the air superiority of the German army was gone, and the strategic bombers of the Chinese Empire bombed the German mainland indiscriminately, resulting in the destruction of many coal-chemical oil plants in Germany, and the fuel oil has been in a state of emergency. If Romanian oil were lost again, then most of the German mechanized troops would be reduced to infantry.

Therefore, the moment the Armenian army invaded Romania, the Germans were ready to resist to the death.

On the Napoca Plain, the 1st Panzer Division of the Armenian Army and the 3rd Panzer Division of the German SS encountered each other.

Both units were armed with powerful main battle tanks. The Armenian army is naturally equipped with the main battle tanks of the Imperial Chinese Army, the M36 King Tiger and the M28A3 Cheetah, as well as the M35 Hound light tank and the W30 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. The 3rd SS Panzer Division, armed with the Mouse Giant Tank and the Tiger Tank VI, focused on assault firepower and defense, but lagged far behind in speed.

At one point, the powerful firepower of the Rat tanks inflicted a deadly attack on the Armenian army tank assault group. In the first round of the encounter, the Armenians lost 12 tanks, while the Germans lost only 4 tanks. ╔╗This is mainly because the Armenian army is too light on the enemy, in the previous battle, the Armenian army was invincible with the M36 Tiger tank, and there was no opponent at all. But after encountering the German Mouse tank, the main gun of the M36 tank could not penetrate the armor of the Mouse tank at all. On the contrary, the giant cannon of the Rat tank caused fatal damage to the M36 tank with a single shot.

Soon, the Armenian army adjusted its tactics. Take advantage of the mobility of your own vehicle units and make a detour to the blind spot of the Rat tank before attacking. The Rat tank was too bulky, with awkward steering and firing, making it difficult to lock onto a rapidly maneuvering enemy tank.

However, the armor protection of the Rat tank was too strong. Although the Armenian army avoided the loss of its own tanks. But it is very difficult to destroy the rat tank. Since the Germans were on the defensive, there was cover from German artillery groups in the rear. The German tanks did not take the initiative at all, so the Armenian army failed to lure the enemy into attack several times.

The two sides have been entangled for a week, but neither can help the other.

Since the joint plan was to launch a general attack on the German mainland from the southeast, south, and northwest by the end of October, the Armenian army was tasked with cutting off the German crude oil supply and had to capture Napoka before then.

For this. The Armenian military specially asked the Chinese emperor for help.

For the tough Rat tanks of the German army. The Chinese Emperor had encountered several rat tanks during the Silesian landing and had a certain understanding of them.

Immediately after that, the General Staff of the Chinese Empire ordered the relevant departments of the Empire to begin to study the method of cracking. Hard work pays off, and war is always a catalyst for all kinds of new technologies. Beiyang Technology quickly came up with a solution, and they developed a special tank gun ammunition specially designed to attack heavily armored protection tanks.

Shaped blasting armor-piercing projectile, which is a more powerful armor-piercing projectile developed by the Chinese Empire after the stabilized tail shelling armor-piercing projectile, which is specially designed to deal with heavy tanks and fortified ammunition.

Armor-piercing shells were successfully developed according to the most basic principles of the Monroe effect. The Chinese Empire had been conducting research since the early thirties, but since the most powerful vehicles in the world at that time were only available to the Chinese Emperor, researchers were resisted by the military department, which feared that the technology would be acquired by hostile countries to use against their own army's main battle tanks.

But. Boycott is boycott, Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry is still secretly developing.

However, at that time, the effect of the Monroe effect could not meet the needs of the military. Therefore, Beiyang Technology added a funnel-shaped powder cover made of metal to the cone of explosives, so that the energy of the explosives acted on the hollow funnel covers after the explosion, and the metal that was close to the powder cover was quickly melted and closed, and the energy of the explosives was 'pressed' into a high-speed, high-temperature, high-pressure metal jet. The head (fastest) speed of this jet can reach 7000~10000 meters per second, and the temperature can reach 1100 degrees. Not to mention high pressure. Plus the metal itself. When the tank armor encounters the impact of these three highs, it is suddenly like the mud under the high-pressure water gun, and the adjectives such as the momentum is like a bamboo, the flow is soaring, and the door is open.

What's even more terrifying is that the metal jet does not rest in place after armor piercing, it continues to move forward at high speed! Plus the splash effect after armor piercing. The next step is to destroy the equipment in the car and kill the occupants. If it hits a shell or fuel tank, the fuel tank catches fire and the ammunition detonates, resulting in a "secondary killing effect." ”

The Chinese Empire immediately obtained a batch of armor-piercing shells for testing from Beiyang Science and Technology and handed them over to the Armenian military for actual combat.

September 3. The 7th Tank Regiment of the Armenian Army again engaged the German 113 Tank Brigade. This time, the Armenian tanks loaded armor-piercing shells to attack. As a result, after one battle, the Germans lost 33 Rat tanks, while the Armenian army lost only 7 M36 tanks.

On the battlefield, I saw that the huge mouse tank only had a small hole in the appearance, but even the turret was blown away, which was the terrifying masterpiece of the secondary effect of this armor-piercing shell.

For the first time, Armenia achieved victory with a new type of armor-piercing shell, and the myth of the invincibility of the German Pat tank was once again shattered.

In the days that followed, the Armenian army attacked on all fronts and engaged German tank units.

On 7 September, the 3rd SS Panzer Division was wiped out on the Sido Heights, and the last dozen or so Rat tanks were on fire.

On September 10, the Armenian army captured Napoca, completely cutting off Romania's crude oil supply to Germany. (To be continued)
