Chapter 197: big guy

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
War can sometimes spawn a more brilliant civilization. Wisdom allows people to draw lessons from past wars to avoid making the same mistakes in future wars.
In order to win the war, human beings often apply the most advanced science and technology to the weapons of warfare and create some incredible weapons of the times.
When technology innovates weapons, new tactics will be born on the battlefield. Around this tactic, brilliant victories will be won. It can be said that the thousands of years of history that human civilization can trace back is a memory before and after the war.
When breakthroughs occurred in metallurgical technology, the Han civilization achieved a military suppression of the nomadic people, and the tactics of infantry phalanx and light cavalry against the prairie cavalry were carried forward, so the Han nationality achieved a great victory in the war of expansion.
Subsequently, due to the appearance of the stirrups, it became possible for the cavalry to attack the infantry square. The heavy cavalry began to board the historical stage, and it became more and more difficult for the infantry to defend the cavalry, so the farming civilization began to lose its military advantage over the nomads until the Tang Dynasty metallurgy The technology developed again, and the elite infantry and the elite infantry once again became a nightmare for the prairie people.
The rise of Mongolia marks the peak of cavalry tactics. It combines advanced metallurgical technology with light cavalry, heavy cavalry and other cavalry tactics. Mongolian cavalry learns and grows in battle, and has finally evolved into the invincible king of the cold weapon era. . They destroyed countless civilizations, but because of the passing of time, they were eventually drowned in the dust of history.
They were indeed overwhelmed. After only a short period of 100 years, humans have entered the era of thermal weapons. The guns and cannons began to equip troops. Countless skilled craftsmen pushed the wheels of history. Humans were able to slaughter themselves more efficiently. In addition to the declining Daming dynasty, the facts around the world prove that cavalry is no longer the only option for victory.
Flintlocks, rifled guns, fixed-load ammunition, and rear-mounted artillery, the war became unrecognizable in just a few decades. It changed the ancient model that lasted for thousands of years, and entered the beautiful fairy tale of queuing to shoot and drumming forward. Personal bravery becomes irrelevant, and what the war competes with becomes the courage of the entire nation.
Later, barbed wire and trenches made the term war synonymous with muddy and cold. Machine guns and heavy artillery made infantry attacks inefficient. Both sides were behind the long line of defense waiting for the other party to come to death, waiting for the other party in consumption Drain the last drop of blood. There has never been such a cruel war, when millions of people changed their destiny because of a war. And it is no longer the army that fought hard in the front, but the material and steel production hoarded in the rear.
Having said that, you may think that this is a history that everyone knows, but some people may not think that those opponents who have stood on the other side are actually the best teachers of various civilizations. Who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty artillery that the Ming Dynasty artillery cut down on the front line of Jiliao City gave the Manqing Eight Banners war experience, and after more than two hundred years, the West Queen Mother cut the land to pay compensation?
It ’s not for anything else, but just to explain one thing, that is, all European powers have learned the truth in their hearts in the last war, and the superstitions of these various countries have become the winners and losers in the next war. key.
For example, in France, it won the last war, so it firmly believes that its theory of war is the most advanced, at least it can win the next war. Therefore, when the economic situation was the worst, it still made a huge amount of money to build a long border defense line.
This line of defense can ensure that when the next war comes, France can once again drag Germany into the endless trench warfare, and then use the British naval blockade to drag down Germany to win the war. In order to support this long Maginot line of defense, the focus of French weapons research and development naturally chose the large-caliber railway gun.
Poland, as a new country born after the First World War, has faced the power of East and West from the first day of its establishment: all capitalist countries want Poland as the first line of defense against the East Red Soviet Union It plays a role in preventing the infiltration of the west; France also hopes that Poland can serve as an ally to contain the powerful West Germany.
It happens that Poland is a new country and a traditional power that is not wealthy, so there is no way to deploy a large number of troops on both lines, nor to build a large number of fortifications in both directions. Therefore, in the list of powerful weapons and equipment, Poland is very interested in a weapon that can quickly rush to the direction of war, can serve as a stronghold and can be equipped with large-caliber artillery. This weapon is an armored train.
The armored train can be said to be a veritable king of land wars before the tanks mature. It can be equipped with several large-caliber artillery pieces and take hundreds of fully-armed soldiers to the war zone at the fastest speed. All trains have armor protection. You can stop where you drive and turn into a fixed steel fortress.
Now, this weapon appeared in front of the German infantry, just like a giant steel beast, traversing the path of the German troops. Several artillery fired alternately and the Germans failed to move forward within half an hour.
The infantry ’s 75mm caliber anti-tank gun has no way to get this steel behemoth. The thick armor on the main carriage can offset the long-range attack of the 75mm projectile, and the close range will be attacked by the artillery on the train The 75mm cannon produced by the Krupp plant was destroyed.
A tank No. 3 attempted to approach the behemoth and was hit by a 75mm cannon on two rotatable turrets on the armored train. Thick smoke came from the German tank that was hit, and the bodies of dozens of German soldiers were lying around. The failure of this attack made the following three assault guns completely abandon the plan to attack.
Then the German engineers tried to approach this powerful Polish monster and wanted to destroy the invulnerable big guy with explosives, but because there were still a lot of Polish infantry behind the train, the plan ended in failure.
"Call the Air Force." The German commander with the telescope in the hidden observation post on the hill not far said to his adjutant: "General Rommel is not far behind, and if he comes over, he will complain about our The attack is too slow. "
"Commander. Our attack speed is already the fastest in human history. More than 90% of the marching speed is not as fast as our attack speed." The adjutant complained as he grabbed the field telephone.
"There is no fastest, only faster! Now that we have made history, why not raise the record to a point where others cannot surpass it?" Said a very magnetic voice outside the observation post.
Along with the voice, a young general came in, behind him, followed by a large group of people including the staff and the adjutant guard.
This general has a handsome military officer. The traces left on his face by the years do not make him look old, but leave a mature charm to him. There was a seemingly absent smile on his mouth, enough to fascinate the unrestrained Germanic girls. If he looks only at looks, he is more handsome than the young head.
A dusty gray-green military uniform with a brand-new iron cross medal hung on his chest. This is the reward that the head of state recently ordered to praise the seventh army for its excellent performance in the first stage of the attack. The one on the south was given to General Goodrian. In addition to this medal, the most attractive thing is to count the two things carried around the general's neck: a miniature camera and binoculars.
The general did not wear a helmet as required, but still carried his own big brim hat like the German logo, with the eagle eagle holding the cap of the 4D national emblem, and a beautiful pilot's goggles stuck below.
The incoming general was the commander of the 7th Armored Army, and Elvin Rommel, one of the two German armored troops who liked to fly.
"Let the infantry and the tank pretend to attack once, and use smoke bombs at the extreme distance to interfere with the enemy's field of vision! Did you see the hill in front? Set up 88mm cannons to directly bombard the target! Do I have to teach you how to operate? He just took a few glances and started the deployment mission.
"Yes! General, I will attack in half an hour and take this Polish defensive position." The field commander who was in charge of the area immediately replied salutely.
"The next time you encounter this kind of thing, consider the 88mm anti-aircraft gun ... This is the experience I learned from Spain." Rommel lifted the telescope on his chest and looked at the Polish defender: "If not , Call Air Force Support immediately! You see how much time you have lost? It also sent so many outstanding soldiers to life! "
"I'm very sorry! General." The commander was transferred from the police force to the army force by the expansion of the landing force. He only took a few intensive courses in command training, and the level function is ordinary. He immediately stood up and saluted when he heard Rommel ’s words: "I see."
Soon, four 88 mm caliber cannons were prepared. Under the cover of smoke bombs, these cannons destroyed the Polish armored train across the position with super high rate of fire and unmatched shell speed. The Polish army eventually Abandoned the train full of bullet holes and retreated to the east on foot. A dozen German tanks followed the infantry with the infantry. The battle here soon ended.
Soon, a group of German infantrymen surrounded the Polish armored train that made them unable to move. Curiously climbed on the train to visit this weird weapon. Rommel also stepped forward to touch the outdated super weapon and picked up the camera to help the infantry. The officers and men of the 1st battalion, 1 battalion and 1 company took a picture of their family in front of the Polish armored train.
