While the heavy artillery troops of the Allied Powers were still firing shells vigorously, a harsh whistling sound suddenly came from the sky, like a train passing by with a whistle. The astonished Allied Powers artillerymen stopped loading their shells and were stunned.
Looking at the sky.
An extremely huge warhead brought a long flame and rushed towards the largest heavy artillery position of the Allied Powers. Before these artillerymen could react, the huge artillery shell plunged into the ground, and the huge explosion shook people thousands of meters away.
The soldiers also lost their footing and fell down one after another.
When the smoke cleared, the astonished Allied soldiers discovered that the position of a heavy artillery battalion had turned into a crater with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters. All the people and weapons within this range had disappeared without a trace.
All the soldiers within a few hundred meters of the crater were bleeding from their mouths and were shocked to death on the ground.
The nearby Allied soldiers looked at everything in front of them in astonishment. They had forgotten to continue the attack, but looked stupidly at the huge crater where sand and soil continued to collapse into the bottom of the pit, but soon they had no time to be stunned.
Continuous whistles came, and the ten train guns that had already calculated the coordinates of the Allied heavy artillery positions through air force reconnaissance opened fire one after another. Huge explosions sounded one after another, and the Allied heavy artillery troops suffered heavy losses.
"What? The heavy artillery troops suffered serious losses? More than a division of heavy artillery troops were lost in just half an hour?" In the high command of the Allied Powers, General Joffre of the Nantes Empire had red eyes and looked at him in disbelief as he just came from the front line.
Report sent back.
"This is impossible. Can't they send a more realistic report? The diameter of the crater is one hundred meters. It's too outrageous." Xiafei threw the report on the table angrily.
"This report is true. The crater is indeed that big." Marshal Buck of the Saar Empire, covered in dust, walked into the headquarters. He had just returned from the front line.
"How is this possible? How can we fight against such powerful artillery?" Xiafei sighed.
Marshal Buck gritted his teeth and said: "We have the advantage in numbers. The best way now is to attack quickly and try to break through the opponent's defense line as soon as possible. As long as it can get mixed up with the opponent's army, this kind of cannon is useless. I estimate that although such a cannon is powerful,
Amazing, but certainly not very accurate and not very fast reloading.”
Marshal Buck's prediction was very correct. Although the Python 2 train gun was amazingly powerful, its accuracy was poor. If the opponent's heavy artillery hadn't been too concentrated, he wouldn't have been able to hit it. And because the weight of the shells was too high, each time it was loaded,
It takes half an hour to correct the trajectory, and those railway lines that circle back and forth like butterflies are just for him to correct the trajectory.
Different from the high power and low efficiency of the Python 2 train gun, the Python 1 train gun has a smaller caliber, but it can reach a rate of fire of one round every five minutes, and its power is also good. At this moment, they are firing frequently, cleaning one after another.
An artillery position of the Allied Powers. With these needle-like train guns holding the formation, other heavy artillery units of the Chinese Expeditionary Force also opened fire one after another. They used fierce firepower to suppress the Allied Powers' attack.
After the initial panic, the Allies dispersed their artillery positions so that their casualty rate plummeted. With the subsequent strict orders from the headquarters, a new offensive finally began.
Thousands of Saar Army Mark IV and Nantes Empire Renault FT17 tanks rumbled past, covering a large group of infantry who began to charge. In order to block the Chinese Expeditionary Force stationed in the Baden area, the main force of the Allied Powers launched a heavy offensive
The waist of this protrusion hoped to surround the entire expeditionary force, but their strategy was too naive. The experienced Tobur paid most attention to these two directions when deploying troops, so he placed the two Allied powers
In front of the assault troops were troops of the Imperial Chinese Defense Forces, each numbering 100,000 people.
In the defensive position to the north, the 91st Army and the 29th Army of the Wehrmacht stood firm. With the artillery support from the rear, they were not afraid of the Allied bombardment. At this time, they only needed to pay attention to the enemy who launched the charge.
.
"Fire." The grassroots commanders stationed here issued orders one after another, and infantry guns and mortars of various calibers began to fire. The soldiers lying in the trenches also used their light weapons to shoot at the Allied forces behind the tanks.
Soldier.
The tanks of the Allied Powers continued to advance, and the weapons that had been fired were not enough to destroy them, so they still rushed towards the expeditionary force's position with great force, but their speed became very slow because of the need to go uphill.
"Fire." The anti-tank crews who were ambushing on the position pushed out their 37mm anti-tank cannons. These artillery were very low and it was difficult for the Allied soldiers to detect them. When the opponent's tanks approached a thousand
After getting within meters, they suddenly opened fire.
Although the shells of the 37mm artillery are not large, they are tungsten core armor-piercing shells specially developed by the weapons experts of the Chinese Empire. Dealing with the thin-skinned tanks of the Allies is as simple as opening a can.
The dozens of tanks at the front were all destroyed, but the tanks that came after them aimed their guns at these anti-tank guns. They knew very well that if these artillery could not be destroyed as soon as possible, they themselves would be in great danger.
The exchange of fire between the two sides was very fierce, with tanks and anti-tank guns decreasing at almost the same rate. In the end, the anti-tank guns were wiped out first, but most of the clever Wehrmacht soldiers escaped before they were destroyed.
.
The Allied tank troops that suffered heavy losses continued to advance, but the Chinese Empire did not only have this kind of anti-tank weapon. When the tank approached the position two hundred meters, a large number of soldiers stood up carrying rocket launchers.
Although some people were quickly knocked down by the tank's on-board machine guns, more people fired rockets in their hands.
The flying rockets shot towards the tank in a spiral trajectory. The Renault FT17 tank at the front was hit by three rockets almost at the same time. The explosion of fire flashed brightly like holiday fireworks, and
The turret of the hit tank was overturned by the force of the explosion and thrown dozens of meters away. The barrel of the gun facing the sky was twisted into a twist.
Dozens of tanks were destroyed by rockets. The Allied tank soldiers could no longer withstand such a blow. They turned around and fled down the mountain at full speed. Unfortunately, these tank drivers forgot that the armor of the tanks was not
It is equally thick, and its rear armor is the weakest except for the top armor.
