Three Hundred and Forty-Seven Railway Guns

"Ren!" Alice climbed out of the tank, looked at Ren leaning on the hatch of the tank turret, and asked, "How is my performance today?"

Ever since Renn took Alice to the front line despite being injured that day, and felt the real bloody fighting, Alice's growth was obvious to all in the tank battalion.

Renn quickly returned to the tank crew with injuries. The only Tiger tank on the German front line was often sent to the front line for support operations. Alice was used in an offensive operation a few days later. The front heading machine gun of the car.

As a result, Alice did not disappoint everyone this time. Like an old soldier, she pulled the trigger calmly and beat the French soldiers in front of them into sieves one by one. After the battle, although Alice missed lunch because of discomfort, she survived and became a qualified electromechanical operator of Rennes.

But the side effect is obviously very fatal, that is, this Miss Alice will always come to ask Ryan how he is doing after the battle is over. At the beginning, Ryan was able to talk and mention his improvement ideas, but then Bruce and Bowman started laughing at Ryan, making Ryan blushing and having nowhere to hide.

Now the situation is that Bruce, who just climbed out of the tank for air, and Bowman, who stuck his head out, started whistling and laughing loudly again. Ryan had no choice but to pretend he didn't hear it, and smiled and expressed encouragement to Alice: "Very good! Next time, control the rhythm of shooting and save some ammunition, and it will be more perfect."

"Next time, control the rhythm of shooting and save some ammunition, it will be more perfect!" Bruce said to Andre in the voice of Rennes on the side.

"Bruce! Go fuel the tank!" Ren ordered loudly with a straight face.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Bruce jumped out of the tank twisting his buttocks, muttering with a smile, "Otherwise, I'm going to refuel, I'm born to work hard! Bruce! Go refuel! Bruce! Load the shells!"

While pretending to complain, he picked up two empty gasoline cans from a shelf behind the Tiger tank. Then he looked at Ren and Alice unscrupulously, laughed and walked away.

Not far ahead, the grenadiers were building a defensive position. They improved on the French position, then set up several machine gun positions, and arranged support mortars in a paratrooper pit next to the Rennes tank. gun.

These grenadiers have been veterans of many battles along the way. Their eyes are firm and profound, their fighting power is tenacious and they have rich combat experience. suffering.

A grenadier company commander walked up to Wren's tank with a cigarette in his mouth.

He knocked on the side panel skirt of Rennes' tiger tank, and said in a low voice, "Ren? We found two big guys over there. The captives said they were loading ammunition for those two big guys." , we are almost going to eat "ruthless"."

"Go! Go and have a look!" Just as someone came to make a rescue, Ren ended the conversation with Alice. He picked up the MP-44 assault rifle that had been with him for a long time, got out of the tank, and jumped to the ground.

His shoulder was injured, so his movements were a bit deformed, not as graceful as usual, but his movements were still agile, and the sound he made when he landed was not loud. Alice also jumped out of the tank and followed behind Ryan - she is almost Ryan's little follower now, and she will follow wherever Ryan goes.

A few people bypassed several buildings in the small station, and saw a place not far away that looked a bit like a construction site, with a simple crane for hoisting and two intact French locomotives.

Of course, there are even more amazing things parked there. On a huge train carriage, there is a huge gun barrel lying flat. It is hard to estimate how big this gun barrel is, but he made a little guess. This thick gun barrel cannot be carried by one person.

The two French train guns are quite well camouflaged. There are a lot of canvases around them and some canvases painted on the roofs of civilian buildings. There are also two anti-aircraft gun firing positions next to them. It seems that the French are ready to fire here. It is not a day or two. up.

"The French captives told me that this is a French train gun with a caliber of 400 mm and a range of about 15 kilometers. They plan to use these two guys to bombard our military facilities near Amiens." The grenadier company commander He took a puff of cigarette, then pointed to the side: "See the cannonball the size of a person over there?"

Ren and Alice looked in the direction pointed by the grenadier company commander, and found at least 20 shells piled aside, many of them were covered with canvas, and two shiny "super shells" were placed at the end. Outside, pre-launch preparations appear to be well under way.

On top of the train gun, two German soldiers were riding in various poses to take pictures, and several field photographers below were constantly pressing the shutter on this big guy. Of course, there were many soldiers pointing around the two cannons, admiring that France could manufacture such a huge cannon.

Of course, if Akado is here, he will absolutely scoff, because the Germans in another time and space have built a bigger guy-that is, the famous war behemoth Gustav train gun in history.

That super railway gun nicknamed "Dora" was still the largest caliber artillery developed in human history until 2015. It is certain that if the orbiter is not launched with electromagnetic gun technology in the future, this gun will have a caliber of 800mm. The Gustav super artillery of 1.5 mm will also be "unprecedented" in human history.

But it is a pity that, also because of Akado's intervention, there is no more gun king Dora in this world, no more giant artillery named Gustav, no more gun barrels with a length of 32 meters, and no guns. In combat state, the "King of Artillery" is 53 meters long, 12 meters high and weighs 1488 tons.

Therefore, this French cannon is undoubtedly the largest artillery that ordinary German soldiers have seen. Most of the German fast-moving troops use 60mm, 80mm, and 120mm mortars, as well as 75mm calibers. As well as the 105mm caliber towed artillery, the only support weapons with the largest caliber are rocket launchers and 150mm caliber heavy artillery.

But compared with the 400mm caliber big guy in front of him, the German 150mm caliber "heavy gun" seems to be only a pitiful "little guy".

"This is? A French cannon?" Alice stared at the behemoth in front of her and sighed, "It's so big. If this thing fires at us, we will die a lot of people, right?"

"This thing should be deployed behind the Maginot Line." Ren frowned and analyzed: "Because there is no advantage to using this kind of cannon to fight against the fast-moving field troops. This thing can only deal with fixed The target, and it is a solid and fixed target."

"The one fighting the Siegfried line?" The grenadier company commander cracked his mouth and laughed. Ever since the French army attacked the Siegfried Line, the joke that the non-existent German line frightened away millions of French soldiers has spread among German soldiers. Almost as long as the Maginot line is mentioned, everyone will always think of the corresponding one. The non-existent "Siegfried Line".

"In fact, our Siegfried line of defense does not exist, so this kind of cannon was smuggled here to trouble us." Ren pointed to the huge cannon nearby and said, "Let's report the situation here, It seems that the French government is not waiting for death, they have drawn some troops from the Maginot Line, hoping to hold us back."

"They don't seem to be able to do it..." The company commander of the Grenadier said with a smile: "Two railway guns, one tank, and nearly 100 French soldiers were seized. This time we can at least get a few Iron Cross medals." .”

"I don't expect it anymore, it won't be so easy to upgrade." Ren smiled wryly while pointing to the Knight's Iron Cross with oak leaves on his collar: "You guys write a report, it is estimated that at least two can be mixed. "

"I don't know if the division can approve two boxes of canned food for us." The company commander took another puff of his cigarette and looked at the picture of a dozen German soldiers standing on the barrel of the train gun in the distance and cheering. , narrowed his eyes and narrowed his eyes: "These little bastards."

"Hey! Beauty, can we take a picture of you?" A war photographer saw Ren and Alice here, came over and said with a smile. He has a much cleaner uniform and is carrying a nice Luger p-38 p-38's are generally used by front line combatants aka the traditional big guns and only by the rear guys who never fight because of the price Expensive obsolete Luger pistol.

"Okay! If you don't mind, I want to take a picture with my driver alone." Alice smiled sweetly. When she smiled, there were two shallow dimples on her face, which made her look even more Cute and charming.

"Your driver?" The young photographer was still fantasizing about getting close to the beauty and spending an unforgettable night, but when he heard the beauty say this, he was obviously a little unhappy. When he turned his head and looked at Ren's At that time, he immediately put away his little thoughts.

"Long live the Führer! Sir!" Standing at attention, he raised his arm and gave a German salute before the photographer dared to continue: "Can I take pictures of you and your soldiers?"

"Okay." Ryan stood helplessly on the side of the French train gun. Alice smiled shyly and stood beside Ryan. The distance between the two was about a punch away. A photo of the two of them together.
