Chapter 541: Maginow's Death

It's the end of the year, and I'm busy these days, so I'm sorry

..........................................................................................

17 August 2780 (1939), Montbeliar, France.

Montbellial is a small city located in the east of France, administratively belonging to the Montbellial district of the Franche-Comté region, the Dui department, this city has no fame, no sense of existence, and continues to be in the future of the original time and space, except for a football club, there is no popularity. But on this plane, it is destined to be famous.

Montbeillard was the starting point of the southern end of the Maginot Line, a fortified line of defense costing more than 11 billion francs, from here and extending to the seaside of the Franco-Belgian border.

The Maginot Line cost five billion francs, and the one on this plane more than doubled because it was longer and stronger, and it also incorporated a large number of anti-aircraft and anti-armor designs. Of course, you get what you pay for, and the Maginot Line of the original plane is definitely incomparable to the original time and space's eponymous work in terms of defensive power.

Of course, the French themselves were satisfied with the effectiveness of this line of defense. So much money is not spent in vain, after their own testing, this thing can carry 1000 kg of aerial bombs or 10-inch heavy guns in all sections, and 2500 kg of aerial bombs or 14-inch heavy guns in key parts. Coupled with dense anti-aircraft firepower and open bunkers, mine arrays and anti-tank trenches, large-caliber fortress guns and staggered various firing points, it is simply impregnable.

At the location of the Franco-Belgian border, two openings were opened in the defensive line to allow passage by rail and road. On this weak point that the French consider themselves, they have painstakingly designed a set of solutions. On both sides of these two railways and highways, there are criss-crossing firing points, and there is no shelter on the road. Moreover, the highway passage is also deliberately designed to make many turns, and there are several sections of the railway that can be moved and cut off at any time. If the Germans were to break through from here, I am afraid they would pay an even greater price.

So the French proudly declare: if there is an impenetrable line of defense in the world, then Maginot is definitely one of them. Any army in front of this Maginot Line can only run into blood.

Since the construction of the Maginot Line, the French people have felt a sense of security like never before. There is also the protection of the strait in the north, and the British navy will be responsible for the security of this area, so now the French defense force is inclined to the south, mainly to watch Italy and the southern coastline. The terrain of the southern Alps was complex, the army could not be used at all, and with the weak combat power of the Italians, the French did not pay attention to it at all, so there was basically no danger in the south.

Second Lieutenant Dukov, a French officer stationed at the Maginot Line, went to the outpost as usual on this day.

"Soldier, is there any change in the Germans today?" said Dukov as he walked over to the sentry post and made a routine questioning to Sergeant Puccini, who was on duty.

"No, as usual, we've been staring at ......," Puccini said disapprovingly. These French soldiers had a strong confidence in the Maginot Line, and they did not think that the Germans would dare to come from here. Not only these grassroots officers and soldiers, but even the upper echelons of France also think so.

One of the soldiers asked, "Second Lieutenant, did you think the Germans would fight?"

"It's hard to say, the Germans are running out of fuel now, and maybe they're going crazy and doing something stupid. Dukov spread his hands and said with a smile: "I would like them to try our Maginot Line, but the Germans are not stupid, they will definitely not be stupid enough to break through from here, their most likely breakthrough direction is the Alpine Line in the south, the defense over there is not so good." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the Siegfried Line on the other side, where the Germans' fortified strip was as quiet as usual, with several Germans pointing at the lookout of the fortress. The Germans' Geffet line is far from being compared with the Maginot Line, and compared to the local tyrant's limited edition Maginot Line, this Siegfried line can only be regarded as a low-profile version of the sling. Every time Dukov saw the "earthen fence" (as the French call it) on the opposite side, and looked at his own impregnable defensive line, a sense of French pride arose.

"Second lieutenant, do you think the Germans will do anything to the Netherlands or Denmark, and the North Sea oil fields also have a part in these two countries. Sergeant Puccini said.

"Hehe, whatever. Anyway, as long as the Germans don't come to fight us in France, we won't be able to take care of it, and that's something for the British to worry about. Dukov smiled.

Now the French don't want to fight more than the British, they died too miserably, a generation of young and strong men almost died, so that many French girls have no men, so that foreign men are cheap to pick up the leaks. Although the French later quickly restored polygamy, it was also a mess.

France's current attitude is even more appeased, as long as the two Germans do not fight them, they do not want to care. Of course, it's okay to talk about it, but forget about substantive actions, we French people like peace the most!

Suddenly, Sergeant Puccini looked at the sky opposite in surprise and shouted, "Hey, what is that? German planes ......"

When Dukov looked up, he saw a group of black dots approaching rapidly in the eastern sky. This is a huge group of planes, and the dense planes are flying under black pressure, and it is ill-intentioned at first glance.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woo woo woo ......" At this moment, a terrible siren sounded.

"The Germans have attacked!" the French officers and men were stunned.

"Quick! Hurry into the bunker, the Germans may be coming to bomb!" Dukov hurriedly beckoned his men to hide in the bunker. The French officers and soldiers guarding the line had already conducted numerous air defense exercises, and they all knew what to do now. Except for a part of the officers and men who rushed to the anti-aircraft fire point, the others took refuge in the anti-aircraft bunkers.

A large group of French officers and soldiers ran into the bunker out of breath.

"Don't worry, our bunkers have been tested with live ammunition, and the Germans will never be able to help us unless they use three-ton bombshells. Dukov cheered everyone up: "But apart from airships, it is impossible for the Germans to carry such planes with overweight bombs." I just looked at it, and the largest of the planes coming now is also a four-round bomber, and they can only carry a maximum of 1,000 kilograms of bombs, and the kind of small bombs can only smash a black mark on our maginot nos. And our personnel bunkers also have the thickest layer of protection in the line of defense, so you don't have to worry about ...... at all."

..............................................................................

The German aircraft in the air were like a black cloud, with an overwhelming murderous aura, viciously pounced in the direction of France.

In the rear of the group, on a JU-99 four-engine heavy bomber that served as a command aircraft, the group commander, Major General Klinsmann, reported to the ground command: "Report to the command, we are about to reach the sky over the Maginot Line......"

Klinsmann's very familiar voice came from the intercom: "General, act according to the plan! Be sure to destroy the Maginot Line and open the door to victory for the Imperial army! You don't have to worry about enemy planes, our powerful fighter fleet will block them, your task is to drop new bombs and kill them!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Imperial Marshal!" replied Klinsmann respectfully. Of course, he could hear that it was his old superior, the ace of the First World War, the current Imperial Air Marshal Goering, who was talking on the other side. Germany attached great importance to this operation, so Goering, as the leader of the air force, also went to the Siegfried Line to personally command.

At this time, the voice of Colonel Mateus, the commander of the fighter plane, sounded in another intercom: "Your Excellency, the French fighter has been spotted ahead, and the other party is asking us for ...... meaning."

Klinsmann also saw that more than forty French fighters had taken off in the sky in front of him, most of them were Dwartina D520s. He immediately replied, "There is no need to answer, you immediately go up and block them and destroy them!"

"Yes, General......"

Soon, more than 80 HE-105s were dispatched from the German fleet to intercept them. The HE-105 is the latest fighter based on the HE-100, mainly replacing the more powerful engine imported from China, the MW38 2500 horsepower 14-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. Not only the engine was changed, but even the fuel was replaced with 115/145 aviation gasoline with a higher octane number, which is also a refining technology imported from China. Moreover, in order to use the new aviation gasoline as soon as possible, the Germans still bought a heat engine from China, that is, a production line that was being produced, which was directly dismantled by China and bought for them. They couldn't even wait to build the plant, and bought 30,000 tons of 115/145 aviation gasoline directly from China.

In addition, there are hundreds of BF-111s staring at high altitudes. The BF series fighters in this plane are really in service with the BF-111, not the BF-109 in the original space-time, this is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter, and the low-altitude dogfight ability is not as good as the HE-105, so they are responsible for the high-altitude enemy, and now the French planes are below 3000 meters, and they will naturally not end up.

The BF series of this plane also has the BF-109 model, but this is a testing machine and has not been mass-produced. The HE-100 was rivaled by another BF-101, but this aircraft lost to the HE-100 in tests.

There have been great changes in the German planes in this plane, such as the four-round heavy bombardment that they have been lacking in the original time and space, and there are several models in this plane, two for the navy and one for the air force. There is also an even more exaggerated six-engine heavy bombardment - the JU-90, well, the military modification of the JU-55 six-engine large airliner.

In order to confuse the French, the Germans did not use the largest JU-90 this time, but used the largest number of equipped four-round heavy bombardment JU-99s. This kind of aircraft can only carry a maximum of 2,000 kilograms of aerial bombs, which will not make the French too nervous. However, for the new weapons that the Germans were about to adopt, 2000 kg of aerial bombs were enough.

To tell the truth, France was caught off guard by the Germans' undeclared war, and they did not expect the Germans to dare to attack directly from the Maginot Line, so they were defenseless at all. Even though relations between the two sides were very tense during this time, the French were too confident in their defense.

Besides, the Germans bombed this time mainly for the oil fields, and if they really want to fight, the biggest possibility is also to open up the flattening in Libya and the North Sea. And France did not reap the benefits of the division of the North Sea oil fields, and most of the Libyan oil fields were on the side of the British. So the French were not in a hurry, and they were ready to see the excitement of the British.

After all, the contradictions between Britain and France are probably far greater than the contradictions between France and Germany, and the enmity between France and Germany has only been formed in recent decades, and they do not have a Hundred Years War. The Germans even defeated Paris, but they didn't kill their national heroes. Britain was different, not only fought a Hundred Years War with them, let alone conquered Paris, at its worst, France almost hiccuped, and the British also killed two of their national heroes, Napoleon and Joan of Arc both died in the British, which is an eternal pain in the hearts of the French.

If it weren't for the fact that the German threat was too great, the French would not have said anything and would not have squatted in a trench with the British. But who said that if you form an alliance, you can't pit your teammates? Pit your teammates is also the norm for big hooligans, and big hooligans who can't pit your teammates are big hooligans? So the French had a small plan to let the Germans and the British pinch them up first, so that the old and new opponents would have a hard time, and then the Gallic chickens could laugh and watch the situation.

But who would have thought that the Germans would actually attack France first, and from the most unexpected places.

So this time the French were really ill-prepared, and their heavy troops were all distributed in the south. In the hurry, less than 60 of their fighters in the vicinity could take off to meet them, and more than a dozen planes were at the airfield more than 200 kilometers away, and there were planes at the airfields further away, but it would be at least a few hours before they arrived.

........................................................................

The French fighters were not superior in quantity or quality, and were firmly suppressed by German aircraft. However, they are not too worried, the German bombers are at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters at this time, and if they want to accurately hit the target at this altitude, the probability is similar to hitting the target. In the eyes of the French pilots, the German planes were likely to bomb airfields and other facilities behind the defensive line, and if they wanted to attack those facilities on the defensive line, they would have to reduce their altitude. No matter what the German aircraft chooses, the French will have a chance.

Suddenly, one of the pilots shouted: "The Germans have dropped bombs!"

"Are the Germans crazy? Are they going crazy and trying to carpet bomb the Maginot?" one of the squadron leaders was puzzled. The French smashed more than 10 billion francs into the Maginot Line, how could they not even withstand the carpet bombing?

"No, it's not carpet bombing, it's a large aerial bomb of at least 1,500 kilograms or more!" He soon realized that something was wrong, because the bombs dropped by German planes were too big, and a four-shot bomber of this level could not carry a few bombs, so it was impossible to afford carpet bombing.

"What can you hit at such a high level?" Second Lieutenant Dukov also saw the German aircraft dropping bombs from the observation port of the bunker, but he was not impressed. He was even more angry about the sneak attack by the Germans. "Damn the Germans, they didn't declare war!"

"Second lieutenant, just wait for them to come and send them to death, hehehe......" The soldiers next to him were very confident.

"That's right, if you want to break our Maginot, the Germans will have to prepare 3 million coffins!" Dukov nodded. According to the calculations of the French, if the Germans wanted to capture Maginot head-on, they would have to pay at least 3 million casualties, which the Germans could not afford, even if they had 100 million men after the German-Austrian merger.

The French in the bunker were objectively joking, betting that they would kill a couple of Germans this time.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "The Germans' bombs have wings!"

Dukov hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and he was also stunned. The bombs dropped by the Germans were completely different from the ones he remembered, they were no different from other bombs when they were first dropped, but they stretched out two small wings shortly after they fell.

"It's a gliding bomb!" called out a French pilot.

The Army is not familiar with this kind of thing, but they are. Gliding bombs are not high-tech, they just make the bomb look like a small airplane. The French did the same, but the guidance of gliding bombs was a big problem, and the French have not been able to solve this problem. The French Air Force is also equipped with gliding bombs, but this kind of unguided gliding bombs are really not useful, and their hit rate is lower than that of conventional aerial bombs, so they can generally only be used for carpet bombing that does not require accuracy. Their biggest role is that they can be thrown outside the anti-aircraft fire network, as for whether they can hit the target, it is only to ask God to bless or see if the pilot's character is strong enough, so the French Air Force does not like this kind of bomb that relies too much on character and God.

"Oh my God, they're going to bend!" Suddenly, a soldier in a bunker exclaimed, only to see a huge "little plane" that seemed to have eyes, turned slightly in the air, and flew straight towards their position.

However, soon the French found out that something was wrong, and these bombs really changed direction in the air like ******. It's as if someone is doing it. If it weren't for the fact that the bomb was too small to sit in, the French would have wondered if the Germans were directing the bomb with human flesh.

At this time, in the cockpit of each German bomber, there were two soldiers with operating joysticks, and they were nervously staring at the screen in front of them, which displayed the bombing target and a crosshair, as long as the crosshair deviated from the target, they immediately pulled the handle to re-align the target, as if they were playing a game console. And the course of those gliding bombs is indeed changing with their control.

That's right, they used TV-guided gliding bombs. Of course, it is very rudimentary radio remote control, and a small camera is installed in front of the bomb, which can synchronously transmit the image to the bomber's console, and then turn the rudder to adjust the direction according to the operator's radio command. However, this control method is blind when it encounters radio interference. But the French didn't expect this trick at all, where would they be prepared?

Gliding bombs, on the other hand, are slower and easier to operate than missiles. This time, there was mental arithmetic or unintentional, so the hit rate was extremely high, at least ninety percent of the bombs hit the target accurately, and only one percent missed. However, it doesn't matter, because the bomb just needs to fall near the target.

"Fortunately, it's a near miss!" Dukov couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw in the periscope that the bomb had landed dozens of meters away.

At this time, he heard a low explosion, the bomb exploded dozens of meters above the ground, its explosion was smaller than that of a conventional bomb, but after the explosion, a large cloud of yellow-white mist was spewed.

"Damn, it's a gas bomb! Bring on a gas mask!" Dukov hurriedly ordered the soldiers.

The French are also prepared for poison gas, everyone played it during the First World War, what's the big deal, just wear a gas mask. Now everyone in the French army is equipped with gas masks, so they are not too worried.

Just as everyone was scrambling to put on gas masks, a terrifying loud noise was heard from outside, and a large ball of fireball came in from the ventilation holes, observation windows and other places that were connected to the outside world......

A large mushroom cloud rose into the open space next to the bunker. Soon, other bombs exploded one after another, and hundreds of huge "mushrooms" were seen rising from the Maginot Line.

"Oh my God, what bombs did the Germans use!" one of the pilots was so frightened that he almost fell.

"Mission accomplished, let's evacuate first, and then it's up to the Imperial Army......" Klinsmann ordered the bombers to evacuate. Fighter formations covered them and continued to entangle with the French aircraft.

Just as the bombing began, the Siegfried Line on the opposite side suddenly opened a dozen preset gaps, and a large group of German mechanized troops rushed towards Maginot.

After the bomb exploded, the Maginot Line fell silent, and all the anti-aircraft fire points that had been firing into the air were muted. Not only was the anti-aircraft fire completely muted, but even the ground fire, which should have been fired, was not at all responsive.

"Horse-ridden, are those troops asleep? Why don't they open fire?" Seeing the Germans getting closer and closer, the French pilots in the air were anxious and angry. Although they wanted to go down and help, the German planes were still around.

Soon after, the French pilots were surprised to see that a group of German GIs had driven the minesweepers directly to the front of the line and methodically cleared the minefields. At this time, the Maginot Line was still deadly silent.

Half an hour later, they watched as the Germans rushed to the Maginot Line, and then boarded, boarded......

That night, the mustache gave a public speech on German national television, announcing that the Maginot Line of the French had been successfully conquered by the powerful and invincible German army, and it took only one day. At the cost of more than 100 casualties and the loss of eight aircraft, the Germans broke through the Maginot Line and annihilated more than 70,000 French troops!

The Germans began to revelry, while the French were dumbfounded, and the British were confused. To be precise, the whole world was thundered by this news. It's not unclear how awesome the Maginot Line is, and this is not some kind of tofu scum project. It was actually conquered by the Germans in one day, what is the concept of this Nima?

This is also unscientific!
