An officer hurriedly asked: "Division commander, what else would it be if it wasn't artillery?" ”

Adenauer pointed to the exploding black clouds and said, "How high do you see the black clouds that exploded?" How could an ordinary shell have such a strong explosive power? Even the shells of the 203-mm heavy guns of the Chinese artillery did not have such power! ”

The officer asked: "Then will the Chinese artillery use shells of a larger caliber?" ”

Adenauer shook his head and said: "Impossible, the larger the caliber of the shell, the slower the rate of fire, you look at how dense those explosions are?" How could it be artillery? ”

Just as Adenauer was explaining to the officers, an explosion sounded near a bunker, and the entire bunker was blown away, as if to cooperate with Adenauer's explanation.

It turns out that the weapons used by the Chinese side are indeed not ordinary artillery, but vehicle-mounted multi-mounted rocket artillery, in fact, it is not appropriate to say rocket artillery, because the launch mechanism of rockets and artillery shells are very different, and the rocket body has its own engine inside, but there is no inside the shell, so it is more accurate to call it a rocket launcher.

In the era of Lin Yuan, the Soviet Union's "Katyusha" rocket launchers were very famous, and they once inflicted heavy casualties on the German army in the Battle of Stalingrad.

Compared with artillery, rocket artillery has many advantages, for example, rockets have their own engines, which can make the caliber very large, and the largest rockets can even send people to the moon, but artillery is not good, and the propellant is too much, and the artillery body can't stand it.

Therefore, the explosive power of rockets is much stronger than that of artillery shells, take the rockets used in China today, for example, the caliber is 420 mm, which is more than twice that of the largest caliber artillery shells in service in China, and the explosive power can also be imagined, and the rockets are filled with nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin solid propellant, these two things themselves can be used as explosives, if they are not burned out during the flight, they can also kill the enemy if they fall on the top of the enemy's head.

The technical content of rockets is not high, China under Lin Yuan's rule can now even manufacture airplanes and submarines, and it is completely capable of making rockets, while the launcher is just a barrel with a fire function, and the technical content is even lower, but Lin Yuan has not made rockets for a long time, not for anything else, because the accuracy of rockets is too poor compared to artillery shells, and it is too expensive to install seekers for rockets, so rocket artillery has not been manufactured.

However, the artillery veteran, weapons expert Luo Chaoying had a good impression of this kind of weapon that was extremely spectacular when fired, so he urged him to make it, Lin Yuan thought that he would make it, and it didn't cost much anyway, so he made a large number of rocket artillery and rockets and established a rocket artillery unit.

The rockets exploded in the German positions, which deeply shocked the German soldiers, if these German troops had been replaced by Russian troops, they would have fled a long time ago, but the German army had strict military discipline and a strong will to fight, although they were afraid, but no one escaped.

After a wave of rockets, it was a fixed-point strike of the shells, and one after another the firing points were destroyed, and Adenauer hurriedly ordered the artillery units to return fire at the artillery of the Chinese army!

However, the German artillery unit had been rendered incapacitated by the bombardment group, and could not fire at all, Adenauer hurriedly returned to the headquarters from the traffic trench, and passed the military hospital on the way, only to see one corpse after another piled up outside the military hospital, many of them had no injuries on their bodies, and were shocked to death by the shock wave.

There were pieces of wailing from the military hospital, as if it was hell on earth, Adenauer couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, and hurriedly walked to the headquarters, at this moment, I saw a group of soldiers running over with stretchers, and on the stretchers were people who were charred and blackened, Adenauer stopped one and asked, "Why are you burned?" ”

The soldier didn't care about saluting anymore, and hurriedly said: "The Chinese Air Force is here again, and the bombs they use this time will burn." ”

Adenauer was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking why the Chinese army has so many means of strike? Mysterious shells, ordinary shells, and now incendiary bombs!

Adenauer hurriedly ran back to the headquarters, directly asked the communication corps to contact Moltke Jr., and said: "General, the enemy's firepower is too strong, and our tank troops have also been defeated, hurry up and let the Fourth Division speed up the march, otherwise we will be finished." ”

Moltke Jr. said with surprise and confusion: "Can't our Tiger tank beat the TK-96?" ”

Adenauer said helplessly: "The battle loss ratio has not yet been counted, but according to the tank soldiers on the front line, our tanks really can't beat the Chinese tanks, and now those who can destroy the Chinese tanks are regarded as heroes!" ”

Moltke said: "Okay, I understand, I immediately order the Fourth Division to speed up the march!" ”

After Moltke finished speaking, he turned off the communicator, first gave the order to the Fourth Division to speed up the march, and then sent a telegram to the German Emperor Wilhelm II, in which he said: "Your Majesty, the current situation on the battlefield is not optimistic, and I request that ten more heavy divisions and fifteen light divisions be mobilized to enter Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, and Lithuania!" ”

Wilhelm II was stunned when he saw this telegram, if he agreed to Moltke's request, then Germany would put fifteen heavy divisions and fifteen light divisions on the front line in Eastern Europe, and the number of troops participating in the war would be about 350,000, China would definitely not sit idly by, and would definitely send more troops to participate in the war, and the conquest between the two sides in Eastern Europe was likely to turn into a European war, and all European powers would be involved by that time.

At this time, there were only a few major powers in Europe that opposed China, Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Spain could barely be counted, and Wilhelm II could not make up his mind to pull so many countries into a big war with China!

Wilhelm II hesitated, but Moltke at the front did not give him a chance to hesitate, and telegram after telegram was sent to Wilhelm II's desk, and Wilhelm II called an attendant and said: "Go and bring General Schlieffen!" ”

Schlieffen was one of the most famous German military strategists in Lin Yuan's era, and he planned the Schlieffen plan during World War I, which was almost the prototype of the blitzkrieg, and the German general Guderian in World War II was inspired by him to make the blitzkrieg.

At this time, Schlieffen was the German Field Marshal, Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, he was a taciturn and disciplined soldier, a strategic genius, and the most relied on officer of Wilhelm II.

When Schlieffen came to the palace, Wilhelm II didn't bother to ask him to sit down, and directly took Moltke's telegram to Schlieffen, who couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after reading this telegram, and said: "Your Majesty, we must find a way to stop this war!" ”
