One Hundred and Eighty-Six Magdalen Legions
Northern Poland, on the border defense. [Starting] In a corner of the long northern defensive position.
"Boom!" A cannonball landed near the reinforced concrete bunker, kicking up a piece of gravel, and then gradually subsided, leaving only a slowly rising plume of black smoke. The shell exploded a section of barbed wire, and the broken wire swayed twice, making the seemingly dilapidated position even more lonely.
The disadvantage of Germany's lack of heavy artillery was finally reflected in the northern defense line of Poland. Because the Modlin Army in northern Poland did not leave the fortress defense area of the border, the East Prussian p army has not been able to break through the Modlin Army from the front until now. line of defense.
The largest artillery caliber of the German Wehrmacht is 150 mm. This firepower is convenient for the mobility and transportation of troops, but there is no way to take the fortress line. The German artillery tried their best and failed to break through the thick Polish border defense.
A Polish veteran was looking at the depression in the distance in front of the defense line from the gap of the firepower point of the fortress. Beside him, a water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun was fixed in the shooting position, with almost no recoil and ammunition. Sufficient, behind him, three machine gunners and two auxiliary soldiers huddled in the straw-covered corner, taking advantage of the interval of battle to seize the time to rest.
The Germans did not wait for the Polish defenders to give up their positions to retreat. They would organize tanks and assault guns to feint and retreat after being attacked by Polish counterattacks. Although it was safe, the efficiency of such a test was really low and very low.
"The Germans are so capable, how dare they go to war?" the Polish veteran whispered in his mouth, stuffing a straw stick into his mouth, chewing and continuing to look outside through the gap of the "shoot". Sunlight and occasional shelling made Poles hide in concrete bunkers, and the inside of the small and dark bunker is a torment for everyone who yearns for freedom.
"Someone's wounded!" a young voice shouted from the trenches in the distance: "Someone! Someone was hit."
Being hit by such an occasional shell is not because the Polish soldier is too ill-conceived, but because Germany used the offensive to cover its own snipers and observers and placed the artillery observation post in a very close to Poland. on the defensive line. These camouflaged and concealed German soldiers lurk in corners with radios and a few days' worth of rations, calling in artillery fire whenever the Polish soldiers slack off.
This style of play made the Polish defenders very uncomfortable. They sent soldiers to repeatedly attack places they thought were suspicious. Although they caused a dozen casualties to the German army, the price they paid was often ten times more than the German army. After a few times, the Poles gave up this stupid way of playing, and let these German soldiers be provocative.
The Polish veteran spit out the straw stick in his mouth, "feeled" the wall and got out of the bunker, bypassing the soldiers resting on the ground in the concrete reinforced trench,
Bend over and walk in the direction of the shouting.
When he walked up to the wounded, a medic was already dressing the wounded soldier. And next to this unlucky guy lay an even more unlucky guy. The already cold corpse's stomach was pierced by the shrapnel of the cannonball, and the intestines were coiled on the cold concrete floor, and people had long since lost their breath.
Not far from here, there was a young soldier with a rifle. He watched in horror as the medics rescued his comrades, with an indescribable depression in his eyes.
"How did these two people get hit?" the Polish veteran leaned on the edge of the trench and casually asked the young soldier next to him. He looked at the crater not far from where the shells blew up, and there was still steam and a smell of burntness.
"They went to relieve them together. They thought that the toilet was too far away, so they climbed out of the trench and squatted over there to smoke a cigarette. As a result..." The young soldier spoke with a hint of trembling, but he answered fluently.
"Don't make this mistake! Do you understand?" The old soldier retracted his head, glanced at the young soldier and said, "The most indispensable thing here is the idiot who seeks death. They are rushing to heaven to serve God, if you are not in a hurry , don't just walk out of your bunker, and it's better to stay where the armor and cement are the thickest."
"Thank you, thank you..." The young soldier stared at the old soldier and spat out a word of gratitude.
Just as the two of them turned around and prepared to return to their positions, the piercing air defense alarm sounded: "Woo!..."
Looking at some small black dots like sesame below the white clouds in the sky, the veteran frowned. He always felt that something was wrong today. It seemed to be an instinctive fear of dangerous things that had been cultivated in the army for many years.
This bad premonition made him stand in place and did not move. He chose a V-shaped trench area that could avoid the impact of the explosion. Luftwaffe bomber.
In the surrounding positions, the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns began to shoot, and there was the sound of tom-tom artillery firing, but because of the number, it seemed to have little effect on the German aircraft in the sky, and soon the German bomber group It flew over the position of the Polish army.
This is not the first bombing of the Luftwaffe. On the contrary, the Luftwaffe has bombed here several times these days. However, relying on the good trench layout and thick bunkers and dark fortresses, the losses of the Polish defenders are not large, so The Luftwaffe bombing also did not have the effect of causing the Polish army to collapse or retreat.
These Germans are really dead brains. Why do you have to come and experiment again and again, knowing that because the aerial bombs are not powerful enough, like artillery shells, they cannot cause damage to these reinforced concrete and armored steel fortifications of the Polish defenders? Do bombs and shells cost money?
Just when the Polish veteran was thinking about it, the bomber of the Luftwaffe had opened the bomb bay and was ready to drop bombs. Due to the slight interference of the anti-aircraft guns, the formation of these planes was a little messy, but not so messy as to affect the bombing.
A bomb fell from the bomb bay of the plane, followed by another bomb that began to fall, and then as if the rain was getting bigger and bigger, the bombs began to fall densely, and the first bomb that was dropped directly hit. On the other side of the hill is a high place with three machine gun bunkers.
Unlike usual, the bomb suddenly exploded like a burning liquid, and the airflow generated by the explosion scurried around with the flames. The scene was so frightening that the Polish veterans who had been staring at the bombing of the German aircraft made a rhythmic sound as their upper and lower teeth collided.
The second bomb of this type exploded in another place. It was exactly the same as the first bomb. The surrounding soldiers began to 'commotion'. Many people ran out of the trenches and ran towards the open area behind. Soon they were engulfed in a blaze of fire spewing from the same bomb.
As the German bomber flew overhead, the explosion soon came over. The Polish veteran suddenly jumped out of the trench, rolled and climbed into the big pit blown up by the German shelling just now, took a deep breath and held it back He took a breath, and curled his head into a ball with his hands.
Then he heard the sound of an explosion, and then he felt the pain of the air waves burning the back of his hand, and he didn't know anything after that. After a long time, just when he thought he was dead, a trace of oxygen poured into his lungs, which made him wake up.
On the back of his right hand, the exposed areas were severely burned, and the military coat was smoked black. He knew that his right hand must have been abolished, and his right face was also burning with pain. It might look disfigured, but he was glad that he was still alive, because he saw the charred corpses in the trenches behind him.
In the distance, a burning man was still rolling on the ground, and all the places that could be seen on the ground were scorched black. Most of the people had died, and a few people were wailing hysterically. The entire defensive position of the Polish army, just It's like a real world hell.
Different from the previous incendiary bombs, this time Germany dropped a newly developed secret weapon "napalm bomb". This weapon was specially designed to deal with the underground fortifications of Yongbei, which could evaporate the oxygen inside the fortifications and burn them to death. The most important thing is that the burning flame is extremely difficult to be extinguished.
The old Polish soldier staggered, looking at the fire and smoking positions, not knowing what to do next, suddenly he saw the iron door of a bunker being pushed open from the inside, and a burning young face appeared In front of his eyes, the young soldier just now was like a shaking torch at this moment, screaming and twisting and struggling in the trench, and finally fell to the ground and turned into burning black coal.
All this happened in just a few minutes...
Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the Polish veteran saw a bullet pass through his chest from behind. He struggled to turn around and found that a German sniper with a gun was firing a second shot at him 100 meters away. , Soon the bullet passed through his throat, and he suddenly felt that the wound on his right hand and face was no longer hot and painful.
...
"Long live the Führer! General Catherine." An Air Force officer walked into Catherine's office after knocking on the door: "The news just came from the front line that the pilots of the 4th Bomber Wing are in northern Poland to attack the permanent army stationed by the Polish Modlin Corps in northern Poland. Napalm bombs were dropped on defensive positions."
"What's the result?" Catherine was looking at his Air Force combat offensive diagram with her hands behind her back, and asked after a while.
"The results are quite impressive. The actual combat has proved that this weapon has a strong destruction effect on ordinary underground bunkers." The officer replied proudly: "The suggestion given by the front-line troops is to increase the production of such bombs. It can be used on a large scale when attacking enemy fortifications and cities."
"Send a report to the head of state." Catherine nodded: "Just follow this suggestion."
