Chapter 341 The Power of Blitz

Although this is an old ship, the breeze is still the same, and the sword is not old.

"Boom!" A huge fireball emerged from the muzzle of the naval gun. At the front end of the fireball, a 280mm projectile flew out.

The fire of the gun muzzle illuminated the darkness before dawn. If we look at the time, the shelling of this warship was the earliest and the first shot of the invasion of Poland!

Shooting Zhu Yuan has long been determined, and the target is the Polish military base on the Port of Danzig.

The four 280mm naval guns sounded together for the first time, and at the same time, other naval guns on the warship also began to sound.

The battleship was also armed with 14 170mm SK L/40 guns and 20 88mm SK L/35 guns. When all the guns are firing together, it's literally a point of fire at sea, an arsenal ship.

One after another, the artillery shells flew towards the Polish military base. Under the artillery fire, the attack on the Danzig corridor also started quickly.

The 4th Armored Division of the 4th Army of the Law was the first to enter Polish territory from northern Germany. Their task was to join the 2nd and 20th motorized divisions of the 19th Panzer Army from East Prussia. The "Pomeranian" army encircled the entire Danzig corridor.

This Polish army is stationed in the Danzig corridor, including 5 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry brigade, commanded by General Boltnovsky.

The Danzig Corridor, which was originally German territory, was captured by the Poles. The Germans living on this land have been ostracized by the Poles since then, and various conflicts often occur. The troops stationed here can be said to Is the culprit of the suppression of the local Germans!

The German army has long been eyeing them.

Now, the Waffen SS is the most important armed force in Germany. Any good equipment is given priority to the Waffen SS, which makes the Army feel like a stepmother.

Although in terms of the number of armored divisions, the army has more, and now the army has seven armored divisions, but the establishment of the army's armored divisions is different from that of the Waffen SS.

For example, an armored division of the Waffen SS has two armored regiments and 336 tanks, while the armored division of the German Army has only one armored regiment and only 172 tanks.

At the same time, the number of other vehicles attached to the army is also much less. Some wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are not available, and more are replaced by motorcycles. The most advanced MP38 submachine gun is currently only equipped with the Waffen SS, and ordinary armored divisions still use the MP36 submachine gun.

However, the 4th Panzer Division was an exception.

This armored division was an armored division that Hitler valued at the beginning. The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh, and Hitler was also a bowl of water. Therefore, the 4th Armored Division became a leading division in the Wehrmacht.

Like the armored division of the Waffen SS, this armored division has two armored regiments of the 35th and 36th, equipped with a total of 341 tanks and armored vehicles, and advanced Panther 3 tanks. First of all, the armored division is finished, let this armored division combat power is greatly increased.

And the commander of the armored division, Joerg Hans Reinhardt, is a young soldier in the German army. He studied under Guderian. Although he has never been to the desert, he has thoroughly learned Guderian's blitzkrieg. Yes, an epiphany.

Now, he leads the most advanced armored division in the Wehrmacht, and of course he has to make some achievements.

Historically, his armored divisions had torn the breach from the south and attacked all the way to Warsaw, but now, some changes have taken place in history, pointing directly to the attacking forces in Warsaw, and handing it over to the Waffen SS is the most appropriate, his The armored division needs to complete the task of dividing and encircling the "Pomeranian" army.

For the tank troops, this task is not difficult. There are no hard bones on the border here. It can be said that the Poles have not entered a state of war at all. After a burst of artillery fire, Reinhardt's armored division , with billowing black smoke, from the north of Poland, all the way forward.

The torsion bar suspension of the Panther 3 tank is constantly shaking. The Panther 3 tank traveling at a cross-country speed of 40 kilometers per hour has become a beautiful scenery on the land of Poland. They came all the way, but they did not encounter any resistance!

The Polish army, still sluggish, the Panther 3 tanks, had already whizzed past the southern part of the Danzig corridor, and everyone cheered when they saw the opposite flag in the distance.

The 20th Motorized Division has crossed over from the direction of East Prussia and joined them! A perfect encirclement has been formed, and now, we are waiting to shrink the encirclement and encircle the Polish army inside!

The German army's offensive is quite rapid. This speed has widened the eyes of many military observers. They have realized that a military change has arrived.

Using aircraft, tanks and mechanized troops to rapidly advance, divide and surround the enemy, and then eat them in one bite, the charm of blitzkrieg is that it is fast, so fast that the enemy can't breathe at all, and there is no chance for defense.

Historically, Germany has achieved this goal using only light No. 1 and No. 2 tanks, creating miracles one by one.

Conquered Poland in 27 days, Denmark in 1 day, Norway in 23 days, Holland in 5 days, Belgium in 18 days, and France, known as the "strongest army in Europe", in 39 days. These are all created with small tanks.

But now, with Cyric's crossing, the layout started more than ten years in advance, making the German tanks at least one generation ahead. In at least five years, the German blitzkrieg will be even faster.

The Panther 3 tank has both the speed of a light tank and the power and protection of a heavy tank. It can be said that it is the most desired equipment of all armored soldiers in this era.

The progress in all aspects is quite smooth, and at this time, the whole of Europe and the whole world are shocked.

At the end of last year, Hitler was assassinated, which made all Europe breathe a sigh of relief. That terrible madman finally died. I hope that Germany can be in civil strife for a while, and that the new German leader can be less greedy.

At the beginning, they were still very vigilant, but slowly, the situation calmed down and there was nothing, which finally made them feel at ease.

At this time, Germany suddenly went into trouble. On the evening of the first day, they announced the assassination ordered by the Poles, and then, in the early hours of the day, launched an attack on Poland.

Everything is so fast that everyone can't react. Take another look. Millions of German troops have already entered the territory of Poland.

This is also a naked slap in the face of Britain and France.

Chamberlain, who got off the plane, did not return to England, but was in Paris, where he discussed urgently with Ladadi.

How to do?
