The Rise of Australia

boom! Boom boom boom!

Accompanied by bursts of violent shelling, the explosion of artillery shells and the bright fireworks directly illuminated the battlefield in the early morning.

For the Polish army hastily deployed on the border, they have never experienced such a large-scale horrific bombing since their establishment.

This is actually quite normal. Nearly 20 years have passed since the First World War. Those who experienced the First World War have long since aged, and it is almost impossible to stay in the army.

The few who can stay in the army are also high-ranking people in the army. They are either the commanders of group armies or the top of the military of various countries. They are unlikely to appear on the frontline battlefield.

Although some of these Polish soldiers on the front line had experienced war, their enemies could not afford so many artillery shells to squander.

The lack of experience made the Polish army react very slowly. The panic of the soldiers at the bottom affected the operations of the entire army and also affected the speed of the Polish army's counterattack.

By the time the Polish army thought of counterattacking the German army, more than ten minutes had passed since the front line was bombed.

Although the Polish army had stopped the chaos, the more than ten minutes of bombing caused irreparable losses to the Polish army.

Not only did it include hundreds of casualties, but many weapons and equipment were also blown to pieces in this bombing, at least unable to be used.

The loss of some weapons and equipment also made the Polish army, whose artillery was already dwarfed, even more embarrassed.

What they faced was a concentrated bombing by thousands of artillery pieces, but the number of artillery pieces they used to counterattack was less than a hundred.

What's even worse is that due to poor visibility at night, it is difficult for the Polish army to determine where the attacking Germans are.

With great difficulty, they determined the direction and organized a counterattack. After a while, they were suppressed again by the enemy's artillery.

Polish officers on the front lines were anxiously requesting support from the air force. The weapons and equipment of the ground troops are insufficient, and it is difficult to repel the enemy's attack with ground firepower.

Only by effectively killing the enemy through the air force and taking the opportunity to eliminate several enemy artillery positions can the severe pressure faced by the ground forces be relieved.

But unfortunately, the nearby military airport quickly responded. The Polish Air Force had already been engaged with the enemy and there was no possibility of any support in a short period of time.

Since there is no way to obtain support from the air, Poland can only take the most primitive method to help the frontline troops, which is to continuously transport new troops to the frontline battlefield.

It is worth mentioning that although Poland has as many as 700,000 troops, nearly 400,000 of them are deployed on the border with Germany.

The relationship between Poland and Britain and France is generally friendly, which also leads to the fact that when Britain and France opposed the current Russia, Poland also made great efforts.

It goes without saying how the Kingdom of Lithuania controlled by Poland came from. This is why Poland placed most of its troops on the border with Russia. They were afraid that Russia would come back with revenge after its unification.

Now, such a military deployment is not very friendly to Poland, where war suddenly breaks out.

Due to the sudden cession of the Polish Corridor, Poland's border deployment with Germany has not yet been perfected, and there are only about 200,000 troops stationed on the front line.

These 200,000 troops were dispersed across the long national border. Facing the German army with more powerful equipment, they were undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Since there was no way to help the frontline troops with the air force, the Polish army decided to continuously transport soldiers to the front line, at least to maintain a numerical advantage.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems on the eastern border and prevent the German-Russian alliance from carving up Poland, the Poles used veterans and new recruits to transport troops to the western border.

Although this effectively increased the number of soldiers on the front line of the transportation network, it also infinitely reduced the combat capabilities of the front line troops.

Although it seems that supporting 200,000 troops to the front has effectively strengthened the number of front-line troops, more than 100,000 of them are new recruits. Even a few days ago, these recruits were ordinary Polish farmers.

How exaggerated is it?

Most of the Polish recruits were, perhaps, just serious Polish farmers three days ago. It only took three days to put down the hoe, pick up the rifle and go to the battlefield. For these Polish farmers, this change of role took at least 100 times as long as three days to adapt.

But unfortunately, neither the Polish government nor the war on the front line allowed these recruits to have too long to adapt.

Holding the standard rifle produced by the Polish military factory, and following the orders of the squad leader whom he just met and whose name he may not even know, he arrived at the battlefield.

"Towav, do you think we can go back alive successfully?" In a carriage that was not special, a soldier wearing a Polish military uniform and holding a long gun was looking at his fellow countryman with a worried look on his face. The passionate young man asked Waff.

"Of course, Plak." The young man named Tovaf nodded firmly and said without a doubt: "We will win this war, Plak. You and me, and all the guys participating in the war. , everyone will go back safely."

It was obvious that Plaque was not reassured by his fellow countryman's words.

Looking at the similarly confused compatriots around him, Plaque began to involuntarily doubt the government and whether they could win the war.

Buzz~

Suddenly, there was an obvious buzzing sound in the sky, which immediately attracted the attention of these recruits.

Faced with this unusual noise, the recruits were obviously a little restless and began to talk among themselves.

"Be quiet!" the veteran in the carriage said: "This is just our plane, there is nothing to be curious about. When you go to the battlefield, you will see more and bigger planes, as well as those with strange shapes, All parts of the tank are made of iron.”

After hearing the comfort from their squad leader, many recruits calmed down. But the occasional whispering also revealed that their hearts were not so peaceful.

Soon, the buzzing became louder and louder, as if a plane was approaching them.

At the same time, there was a whistle in the sky, as if something cut through the air and was falling quickly towards the ground.

"What is that?" a recruit suddenly said in horror.

Through the glass of the train carriage, a veteran also saw growing black spots in the sky. Larger, shaped black spots were in groups, streaking across the sky in an orderly manner.

Smaller black dots took on the shape of a circle, growing larger in the pupils of all the soldiers.

"Damn it, it's an enemy plane! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Stop the car and find a bunker to hide!" Several veterans were obviously stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

Soon, the veterans in other carriages also reacted and tried to remind the conductor driving the train to stop the train.

But a train traveling at full speed doesn't stop so easily. Even though the wheels of the emergency stop rubbed sparks on the track, the train still moved forward at a steady speed.

boom!

As the first bomb fell around the train, the trees within a few meters were cut directly in half, and the small branches were directly blown to pieces, and then covered by a burst of gunpowder smoke.

"God bless." Pulak swore that he had never seen such a battle in his life, and had never experienced such danger.

Faced with such danger, all Pluk could do was to pray devoutly to God for His blessing.

But it is obvious that as a believer in God, God is clearly on the side of the Germans today.

boom!

A bomb landed accurately on the railway track, only a few meters away from the carriage where Plak was sitting.

The explosion of the bomb instantly overturned the carriage and shattered the glass of surrounding carriages.

The strong shock wave made the recruits in the carriage feel dizzy and tinnitus. They heard helpless shouts and miserable cries one after another, echoing the explosion of the bomb.

The good news is that apart from dizziness and ringing in the ears, Plak is fine.

In fact, except for a few unlucky guys, most of the recruits in the carriage did not have serious injuries.

Just when these lucky recruits thought they had escaped disaster, the real disaster came quietly.

The bomber detachment slid around in the sky, threw away all the explosives they carried, and then turned back in the air. Using the machine guns they carried, they launched a fierce attack on the stopped train.

Although the train carriage was wrapped in iron sheets, it could not withstand the desperate fire of multiple machine guns.

A thin layer of iron sheet could not stop the machine gun fire at all, and the recruits near the edge of the carriage were quickly beaten into a nest of ants by the machine gun.

ah!

If the bombing just now only frightened these recruits, then the more cruel scenes now caused the mentality of these recruits, who were originally just farmers, to collapse.

Accompanied by bursts of shouting, a large number of soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

"Tovav!" Pluk saw with his own eyes that his fanatical and confident fellow man was penetrated by several bullets that penetrated the iron plate.

Bullets passing through the body do more than just small penetrating damage. Because of the high-speed rotation of the bullet, the bullet passes from front to back, often causing a cone-like wound.

There may only be a small bullet hole in the front, but a bowl-sized wound has already formed on the back of the body.

The scene was really indescribable. The blood flowed out of the body along with the internal organs. The impact on ordinary people was unmatched by any shocking movie.

Plak survived by chance. He continued his spoken language and escaped the first round of bombing and the second round of machine gun fire.

But he was also unlucky. As an ordinary farmer, Plak's heart simply could not bear such a shocking impact.

Simply put, he was broken. This kind of psychological trauma turned Plak, who was an ordinary person an hour ago, into a madman in the true sense.

In this bombing, there were many people like Tovaf, and there were also many people like Plak.

This freight train has a total of 12 carriages, each carriage transporting more than 80 soldiers.

However, after this round of bombing, less than one-third of the nearly 1,000 soldiers remained, and even less than one-tenth still had combat effectiveness.

Those veterans who had experienced the war could not even bear such a shocking scene. As for most recruits, they can only endure two results after this bombing, one is physical death, and the other is psychological collapse.

What did the war bring to people? For the current Poles, the war has brought only irreparable pain.
