Chapter 356: Type S mine

Before fighting, a nationwide war mobilization must be carried out.
Britain and France are absolutely clear that if they declare war on Germany, it means the outbreak of World War II. Judging from the experience of World War I, World War will completely wipe out a country, such as a man between 20 and 40. All died on the battlefield.
If there is to be a war, it is absolutely necessary to mobilize for war, to transfer all reserve soldiers into active service, to increase one by one reserve division, and to transfer the existing national system to the wartime system.
But now, Britain and France have done nothing. They just held a military parade in Paris, then went to the border area and declared war.
All of this, in Cyric's eyes, Britain and France are just showing it to Poland, telling Poland that they have fulfilled the treaty, and Britain and France still have no plans to do war.
Therefore, if they do come over, then their side will withdraw. In this way, England and France will definitely be satisfied.
The current retreat is of course to confuse Britain and France. When the battle in Poland is over, it is time for Britain and France to swallow the bitter fruit of their own brewing.
Right now, Germany is holding back its big move. If you don't move, you'll be shocked.
Now that war has been declared, we must be prepared for war. Now the mentality of Britain and France is really to be the guardian of European order and the European police.
The Rhine River, the longest river in Germany that records the national history of Germany and carries the German national spirit, has always been called the Father River by Germans.
This river originates from the Rhinewald Glacier in the Alps, flows through Switzerland, Luxembourg, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries, and finally flows from Rotterdam in the Netherlands to the North Sea in the Atlantic Ocean.
The beautiful scenery and unique natural scenery along the way have even been rated as a world cultural heritage. There are grapes on both sides, which makes the scenery extremely charming.
Now, in the Rhine Valley, no one is in the mood to appreciate these beautiful natural scenery. On the opposite side, there are the French, and France has declared war on Germany.
Is this a state of war? The attitude of France made the veterans of the First Army somewhat unacceptable. As veterans who came from World War I, they still remember how cruel the first World War was.
The French rushed forward desperately, falling down in front of the Maxim heavy machine gun. It is common for tens of thousands of people to die in one day, but now? War has been declared, and the French are still quiet!
"Squad leader, what the is the Frenchman on the opposite side?" Ram asked his squad leader.
"Don't worry about what the French are doing, as ordered, let's quickly mine." Monitor Leo said to him.
Hurry up to mine!
The engineer shovel in Ram's hand had dug a hole and carefully buried a cylindrical mine.
This type of landmine was developed by Germany in 1930 and was designed to attack unshielded infantry in open areas. They were named S.Mi.35 and S.Mi.44 according to the production year. The main difference is that the fuze chamber of S.Mi.35 is in the center of the mine body, while S.Mi.44 is tilted to one side.
It was first put into production in 1935 and was an important part of the Third Reich’s defense plan. Historically, when production was stopped due to Germany's surrender, Germany had produced more than 1.93 million Type S mines.
The S in the S-type mine is the first letter of the German Schrapnellmine. It is the earliest and most famous type of mine jumping and is called "Bounce Betty".
These landmines caused serious casualties to the enemy and delayed or even prevented the enemy’s advance. The design of this type of landmine was successful, lethal, and was widely imitated. It was a landmark weapon in World War II.
And now, this is the first time this kind of landmine has been laid. The French on the opposite side have not tasted the taste of this kind of landmine, and soon they will no longer want to set foot on German land.
Three days have passed since the French declared war. Will the French still fight? While burying landmines, Ram was burying landmines while thinking secretly in his heart.
His squad leader carefully marked on a map. Behind them, there is a village. This is the main traffic road of the village. Landmines should be planted here to prevent their own people from being blown up. Now mark the location clearly. In order to wait until after the war, to easily dig out these mines.
He knew how terrible these mines were.
At this moment, far away, a bicycle was riding towards here quickly.
"Nibo, you idiot, watch out for our mines!" Leo shouted loudly.
As the First Army, all equipment should be given priority. Unfortunately, the current First Army is almost like a second-line army. No good equipment is available to them. In fact, most of the Army is Reserve forces, such as their current force.
Therefore, all kinds of modern equipment have nothing to do with them. There are no tanks, no wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and even motorcycles, which are only available at company level and above. For the infantry squad~EbookFREE.me~modern Tools, only bicycles are left.
Nibe is a tall soldier. His two legs are quite long. At this moment, his two legs are pedaling quickly, rushing all the way to this side.
When he heard Leo's words, Nibe didn't slow down either. He seemed to be an acrobat, walking around crookedly from the side.
These landmines were laid in accordance with certain rules.
"Squad leader, squad leader." Nibel, who was riding out of breath, shouted to Leo: "Frenchman, Frenchman is coming up!"
The French are coming? Leo was overjoyed: "Go, let's withdraw!"
According to the plan, the German army and the French army cannot conflict. When the French come up, the German army can only retreat. This order is somewhat speechless.
However, Leo can also understand that the main German forces are all in Poland and are avenging the Führer. At this time, it is impossible for the troops on the western front to deploy too much. Since they can't beat them, it is wise to retreat. Decided.
Anyway, there is the line of defense behind them. At most, they will withdraw to the line of defense, and they will never retreat. There, with the help of fortifications, they can resist calmly.
Now, the French are finally here.
"Squad leader, can I stay here to observe the enemy?" Nibel said to Leo.
After thinking about it, Leo agreed. Who knows, he just nodded, and Ram on the side began to request: "Squad leader, I want to stay too."
Looking at the hands of the two, Ruoruuowu backwards and touching the of the Mauser rifle, Nibel knew what they wanted to do.
"Remember, as a soldier, it is our duty to obey orders, even if this order is difficult for us to understand and accept." Leo said: "You two, you can stay and observe, but if anyone dares to take the initiative to shoot, I can directly I shot you all!"
