My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

"The shells have been loaded! The shooting parameters have been confirmed! You can fire at any time!" A French artillery officer reported loudly to his chief: "The two artillery aimed at the large bunker on the main peak opposite the German position, and the other three were selected. Have achieved their respective goals. "

"How is the field artillery group prepared?" The chief of the French Railway Artillery Corps asked with a glance in the distance.

The officer immediately handed in a document: "A few minutes ago, they had reached the designated location. 60 artillery will fire with our cannon, which can definitely destroy the Germans' **** Siegfried line."

Nodding his head, the commander of the railroad artillery ordered: "Start the timing, and the action time is 7 minutes after the mission instructions. Fire the gun on time and cooperate with our army to break through the Siegfried line."

"Yes!" The subordinate officer said rightly.

At this moment, in the field headquarters that was temporarily excavated on the hill closest to the German border, Charles de Gaulle was looking at the Siegfried line across Germany with his telescope.

Faintly in the bushes, you can see the cement walls exposed by the German bunker; in some dangerous positions, they are covered with machine gun shooting holes. Although these shooting holes are covered with weeds, they can still be See the gun barrel of the black hole inside.

But I don't know how, he always has a not-so-good feeling in his heart. This premonition of being deceived is like a shadow, lingering in his heart. He put down his telescope and looked at his adjutant and his staff: "Although the German defense line is cleverly constructed, it has many flaws."

He pointed to the hill opposite: "They are more willing to deploy machine gun bunkers and artillery bunkers, but they are not willing to bury anti-tank obstacles and barbed wire on the front, which is a very strange thing in itself."

"General Charles de Gaulle, the Germans have always lacked resources such as steel, so they are unwilling to waste precious steel to build barbed wire and tank obstacles. This is the analysis of the intelligence department, which is very convincing." The staff responded with a smile.

"We also lack steel." Charles de Gaulle glanced at his staff, and apparently dismissed this statement: "In the non-key areas of the Mackino line, the anti-tank obstacles were made of wood, and they also had good results. .Why did the Germans not lay simple anti-tank obstacles in such an area suitable for tank attacks? "

"General! It is possible that they are leaving an offensive position for their tanks." Charles Gaulle's deputy thought for a while and said: "There is information that the Germans have laid a large number of mines in other areas, and the Germans may be more willing to use Are mines to defend the tank? "

"Someone has seen the German team burying a lot of mines?" Charles de Gaulle raised his eyebrows. He seemed to guess something, but he couldn't think of anything after thinking carefully.

"No ... but the scouts have seen many minefield warning signs." The adjutant frowned and replied, "Maybe the Germans were buried at night ..."

"It's too late to say anything now. You can only fight and watch the change of the battle plan." Charles de Gaulle sighed and said: "Victory made us forget the scars of the war. The Germans on the other side are fighting hard, but our officers are worried. Take a vacation. I formed an armored force on the second line and did not come to the front line for more than half a year. You did n’t even detect the other party ’s defense line. "

...

On the opposite German position, two fat wild rats were mating under a German cannon. Several black painted telephone poles were buried in the soil, exposing a round shape that served as an important fort in Germany.

Not far away, the exposed reinforced concrete construction is actually just a small cement bump exposed on the outside. Those machine gun shooting holes are simply dug out caves-most of them live with mice.

And those gun barrels are actually just damaged mop rods, scrapped bicycle keels, or just a broken flute. Those so-called minefields are just plugging in a reminder sign-there are only a few mines buried inside.

The entire Siegfried line of defense is a terrifying scam. When the scam was carefully arranged, all voices that questioned the flawed scam lost their effectiveness. If a national scam is used to mobilize a scam, no matter how false the scam is, it will have a certain real effect.

The French had been warned by the Communist International, which stated that the Siegfried Line had not recruited a large number of civilians to participate in the construction. This huge loophole was justified by the French themselves, who believed that the Germans secretly recruited prisoners in the concentration camp and persecuted political opponents to participate in labor.

A French businessman once saw Germany setting up fake positions and reported everything he saw to his motherland, but was arrested by the French as spies on the grounds that he tried to help the Germans spread false news.

Even the adjective used by the head of state when he was talking about the Siegfried defense in public was "it's unbearable", and it was regarded as a genuinely modest word. The French government's interpretation of the adjective "Weak Attack" given to the Siegfried line by the head of state after evaluating his own Maginot line is that it can prevent the French offensive for at least half a year.

However, if someone feels that the Germans are not prepared for war on the Western Front, it is quite wrong: after the end of the Polish campaign, about half of the Eastern Front air forces have been transferred to the Western Front airfield, so the German Air Force is still in quantity. Have an absolute advantage in quality.

At dawn on September 30, the Luftwaffe ’s western front-line airport had a total of 1,970 fighter jets, more than three times the total number of French fighter jets used in this operation. And these fighter planes are advanced fw-190d fighter jets, which are much more advanced than those fighters that the French can go to heaven.

Similarly, the Luftwaffe also prepared a large number of bomber units. They played an important role in the top-secret western defense plan "Preliminary Plan": These bombers were to paralyze the French ground forces, attack their supply lines and build-up areas. Fight back for time.

At the same time, the German ground troops on the Western Front were enough to describe the lineup. General Lundstedt has a total of 800,000 troops and has the fifth and sixth non-main armored troops. These troops are equipped with old but not outdated weapons such as the third assault gun and the second tank, and Has a large number of anti-tank guns and iron fist rocket launchers. It can be said that they are ready to fight against the French offensive alone, not to mention hundreds of kilometers behind them. Several already world-renowned tank troops are coming by train as reserve teams.

These troops can now be said to be famous, including Rommel ’s 7th Armored Corps, and the Second Armored Corps commanded by General Balkenf – Guderian ’s 1st Panzer Corps is taking a break in Poland, half a month later Will also gather west. These troops are now synonymous with victory, and they only took 16 days to establish the victory in Poland.

And Germany is now mobilizing its own reserve personnel. The head of state has issued orders to the civil affairs and military to complete the expansion of the army by 3 million in 1938 and expand the total army to 4.5 million by 1939.

...

"Open fire!" The fire broke out on September 30. With the order, the French artillery made a deafening roar, and the shells flew towards their pre-selected targets, sifting the so-called defense lines on the German border.

The heavy rail artillery fired deadly shells, and then began a long process of clearing the barrels, but those field calibers of various calibers can continue to roar, and the shells are bombed on the German Siegfried line as if they were not money. There was a ringing sound, and the soil was scattered with gravel, and the earth shook with it.

"This is the second observation post! The Germans did not return!" A French artillery observer reported loudly to the walkie-talkie.

On the other side, soldiers in another observation post are also saying the same thing: "Report that the Germans have not responded."

Hundreds of French fighter planes appeared under the clouds. They came to control the air dominance of the battlefield, and below them, there were dozens of French bombers with bombs. They wanted to throw these bombs on the German positions to help the French artillery. Destroy the Siegfried line completely.

Before the artillery was over, the French infantry began to charge with their rifles. They cautiously fumbled forward in the place where the minefield warning was written. From time to time, some people were killed by mines, but most soldiers arrived in front of the German positions unharmed. . They shouted slogans and waited for the German troops to shoot at them, but they found that the Germans in the entire position could not find a counterattack except for the artillery fire of their people who kept exploding.

"Stop the fire! Our soldiers attacked! Stop the fire!" An officer at the observation post shouted with a walkie-talkie. After more than ten minutes, the French artillery finally stopped, and the entire German Siegfried line returned to the peace before the war. There was little change here except for the black smoke craters.

"This ... isn't it, isn't it a drill?" A French battalion commander supported the steel helmet above his head and looked at the enemy machine gun shooting holes not far away. He pointed to those who should have uttered their tongues to reap their lives. Bunker: "Go up and see! Are the Germans scared to death?"

The Germans would of course not be scared to death on the position. A group of infantry climbed behind the bunkers and found out that none of the bunkers and the fortresses designed a most important place: the gate. When the soldiers brought back some mop poles and rusty iron pipes, the French infantry who were ordered to attack knew that they were fooled.

"Let the tank hurry up! We were fooled by the **** Germans!" De Gaulle squeezed the phone angrily and ruthlessly, grinning his teeth: "Crossing the German border, searching for an attack ten kilometers forward!"
