The Third Reich: The Return of the King

On January 30, the German army began to launch a general offensive against the Polish army in the encirclement.

At the same time, the allied forces of Sun Never Set and Gaul also began to launch a fierce attack on the German troops in Silesia!

This is a race of speed and life and death. If the German army wins, then they can eat all the one million wave troops in the encirclement!

If the coalition forces win, then they have hope of rescuing the Polish army from the encirclement before the German army eats the main force of the Polish army!

The purpose of both sides was extremely clear from the beginning, so when the battle started, both sides did not test it at all, and directly used all their strength in an attempt to defeat the enemy in one battle!

On the Posen front, Mainz personally supervised the battle.

The morale of the German army was high. Under the personal leadership of Mainz, the First Armored Corps opened the communication line between Posen and Stettin on the morning of January 30, and occupied the last railway station under the control of the Polish army – —Piva train station!

After this line of defense was opened, a large number of weapons and equipment from the Stettin area began to quickly move up the Vistula River and were transported to the rear of the German army.

At this time, after Hans’s domestic mobilization, in just one and a half months, the total strength of the German army had expanded from the original 200,000 to the current 200, and this rate is still increasing rapidly.

In the early stages of the battle, apart from the German Wehrmacht, the rest were basically the SS from Mainz. In addition, there was the R unit secretly developed by President Hindenburg. The leader of this army was Colonel Bock.

R is not Main’s trusted army, so he did not mobilize this army to the Posen area, but placed it in Brandenburg to protect the security of the capital!

Excluding Team R, the combined strength of the Wehrmacht and SS is almost 1.2 million, which is currently the main force of the German army.

The remaining 800,000 soldiers were prioritized soldiers selected from World War I veterans after emergency mobilization.

Because after World War I, the disarmament work of the German army was presided over by Mainz, so when the disarmament was carried out, he secretly established a list to include soldiers from elite units with relatively strong combat effectiveness in order to prepare for the disarmament. Just in time for emergencies!

And now, this list comes in handy!

After these veterans re-enlist in the army, they only need emergency training to restore their adaptability to the army, and then they can be sent to the battlefield!

The Bolan people believed that the German army did not have enough troops, so they could bully them at will. They also believed that even if the German army was mobilized, they would only recruit a group of new soldiers with no combat experience.

This idea is of course wrong, because the Bolan people experienced the First World War. Was Hans watching the show during the First World War? of course not!

The reason why the German army is small is not because the German army does not have so many outstanding soldiers. It is purely because of restrictions. Once the restrictions are lifted, Hans will definitely have many more veterans with actual combat experience than Bolan!

At this moment, the Bolan people finally suffered the pain of underestimating their enemies!

“Prepare, let go!”

Boom, boom, boom!

Along with these new forces joining the battle, there are also a large number of artillery produced by the Krupp factory.

And the caliber of this batch of artillery is no longer small and medium-caliber artillery within 105 mm. This batch of artillery Among them, a large number of 150mm SFH150 howitzers were secretly ordered by Mainz in September last year.

At that time, Mainz was already planning this war. , so a batch of artillery was ordered in advance, and the subsequent progress was similar to Mainz’s plan, so the first batch of artillery finally caught up with the war and was put into use in this very critical battle. The

150-meter howitzer. The damage range is particularly large, and after this improvement, the diameter is larger than the original, so the range is much shorter than the original.

This kind of artillery can fire at the Bolan people beyond the range of their artillery, and it can hit Bolan people. There is nothing the Lan people can do!

The only problem that affects the launch of this artillery is the problem of determining the specific location of the target.

However, this problem is not difficult to solve. At the beginning of the battle, Mainz had prepared several secret weapons. Come and solve this problem!

……

“Idiot, hide now, Hans is going to start firing again!”

In the Polish army position, a veteran pointed at several panicked recruits and yelled.

When the enemy fires artillery, the best way to deal with it is to hide in one’s own artillery holes.

In this way, the artillery fire can be avoided to the greatest extent.

The most lethal thing about artillery shells to infantry is the shrapnel that flies out when the shell explodes.

These shrapnel fly in all directions at extremely fast speeds, as fast as bullets, and have extremely strong kinetic energy and destructive power.

As long as they hit people, It is easy to seriously injure people, and in a short period of time, if an infantryman is unlucky when a shell explodes, he is likely to be injured by several shrapnel at once, as long as one shrapnel hits the heart or artery.

, kidneys and other vital parts, the soldier who is hit will be dead!

The second most lethal power of the artillery shell is the air wave generated when it explodes. This air wave can easily blow people away like leaves from a distance of more than ten meters!

If the soldiers are unfortunately blown away by the air waves, they will definitely be seriously injured when they fall down, even if they don’t die.

Therefore, when facing artillery attacks, the soldiers must find bunkers to hide and hide as much as possible. If you are behind a bunker to resist the attacks of shrapnel and air waves, you can only lie down on the ground to minimize your exposure to the outside, thereby reducing the impact surface.

Only in this way can you survive the bombardment. Come down!

However, these new recruits were running around outside the trenches when they were facing the German bombardment. This made the veterans angry.

Did these guys think they didn’t die quickly enough?

Not only did the German army have new recruits, there were also many recruits in the Polish army.

In the previous Battle of Warsaw, the Polish army suffered a lot of losses. In order to make up for these losses, they directly recruited a large number of completely untrained recruits from the country.

Originally, the Bolan people thought that they would fight a hearty and victorious battle, so it didn’t matter even if these recruits were not trained. After all, they did not expect these recruits to play any role.

However, the development of the war situation completely exceeded Bolan’s.

Human imagination, these unlucky recruits went out with the army for the first time, and encountered such a cruel battle in which the entire army could be destroyed.

Therefore, under fear and tension, these recruits not only failed to help in any way, but also became The burden of the Polish army has been dragging them down!

The casualty rate of the new recruits is very high.

In the battles in the past few days, more than 30% of the new recruits in the Polish army have been injured.

The cruel war did not give them time to grow. Destroy them! After the veteran finished cursing, he rushed forward and dragged a stupid recruit out of the trench, and stuffed him into an anti-cannon hole in a few seconds! When he finished this, the German artillery strikes came as scheduled, and flowers composed of gunpowder smoke and dust bloomed one after another on the Polish army’s position!

“Bah, bah, bah, damn, you almost killed me!”

The veteran was shocked. When he saw a huge crater appearing in the position where he was just now, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

If his movements had been slower for a few seconds, I am afraid that he would have been bombarded by artillery fire at this time!

“Quick, check the casualties!”

The Polish company commander also came out of the artillery hole in disgrace. He praised the veteran a few words, and then quickly checked in the trench.

This German artillery bombardment was an exploratory bombardment, so the intensity of the bombardment was not very high. It lasted only one minute and then stopped, so the casualties of the Polish army were not very large. A total of 12 soldiers of this company were injured or killed in the shelling, of which 4 were killed and 8 were injured. The casualties accounted for about 10 of the total number.%！

“Hans’s artillery level is too rubbish! ? If they want to capture our position with this level of shelling, they will have to pay for it with their lives!”

After the artillery bombardment, seeing the low morale of the recruits, several experienced veterans deliberately shouted loudly and belittled the level of the German artillery.

This trick was tried and tested. When the recruits heard what the veterans said, they suddenly felt better. Confidence, it turns out that the enemy is not that powerful, and it seems that I don’t have to be so nervous. When I think of this, the morale of the recruits suddenly recovered a lot!

However, the veterans were not so optimistic. The German shelling just now was obviously calibrated. I’m afraid the real test will come next!

“Look, what is that?”

And just when they were worried, a recruit noticed the huge beast appearing above his head. His face suddenly changed, and he pointed at the giant beast in the air and screamed!

Everyone raised their heads and saw something in the sky. A huge thing that looked like a moving castle appeared above them!
