"Okay, well done!" At the top of the fortress, Lieutenant Wichig used his binoculars to watch the bombers bombing the Belgian artillery in the distance, quite satisfied.
The number of them is still too small after all, and a large-scale army requires at least a day to rush here. Now, they are surrounded by Belgians.
As paratroopers, they were surrounded by nature. They came on gliders and faced such a dilemma. Fortunately, they were not fighting alone, because bombers were supporting them!
If Hans threw the bomb directly on the cannon, he could only blow up one cannon at most. Now, when he threw the bomb on the ammunition box of the cannonball, the entire artillery position became a huge sea of fire.
In the sea of flames, a part of the Belgian artillery screamed, carrying flames on their bodies, some were running wildly, some were rolling on the ground, the scene was embarrassing.
Facing these Belgian artillerymen, Hans pushed the nose without hesitation and used his machine gun to continue to slaughter them!
War is so cruel and ruthless!
In the sky, the engine rumbling sounded again, and you can see that a huge four-engine airplane is flying from the east!
When it reached the sky above, the cabin door opened and a famous paratrooper jumped down from above.
The second-tier people are finally here!
They flew over on a transport plane on the same platform as Junker 290, and then, in the sky, blossoming beautiful umbrella flowers.
If the Belgian defenders are still below, then the anti-aircraft machine guns can cause them to suffer heavy casualties during the landing. Now, below them, it is absolutely safe!
Holding the binoculars, Lieutenant Wichig scanned each of the parachutes and soon discovered that the parachutes were not people, but big boxes!
The second batch of explosives is finally here!
At dawn, they came in a glider, relying on a sturdy glider, they carried two and a half tons of explosives, and blasted the gun positions and passages on the top of the fortress.
However, this is far from enough!
There are still many locations that need to continue blasting. Now, they need more explosives!
"Om." A big box landed, and Lieutenant Wichig ran over quickly, opened the big box, and inside it was neatly packed explosives.
"Continue to blast!" Lieutenant Wichig said: "Pull the nail!"
The follow-up action, there is a vivid statement, is to pull the nail! Pull out all the firepower points!
At the top, the rope was supported and hung up to the vertical cliff. Several bold fighters slid down the rope, fixed the explosive on the cliff, inserted the detonator, and climbed up.
"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded, and the firepower point on the cliff was completely destroyed!
And this huge explosion shocked the Belgian army in the fortress.
Major Bridgetland stood fidgeting, outside, explosion after explosion, bad news kept coming.
No defender dared to be next to any firepower point. At this time, those firepower points exploded one by one. If anyone stayed nearby, they would definitely be injured.
They still have more than a thousand people. They have enough ammunition, and they have enough food to last for half a year, but now, they have no confrontation.
"Report, there was a second explosion at the entrance of our passage." An officer hurried over and said to Major Bridgetland.
If they want to go up and drive away the Germans, they need to re-dug the passageway. Now, the Germans have enough explosives, and there are two explosions, which blocked the passageway more seriously!
Major Bridgetland sat down on the ground, what should I do? Fortunately, the vents were not blocked, otherwise, all of them would have to be suffocated here alive!
"Report, the division sent an infantry battalion to support us." Another adjutant reported.
Of course, the Belgian army attaches great importance to this fortress, and they continue to send troops here.
However, a few minutes later, the news of frustration was reported again. This infantry battalion, discovered by the Stuka bomber, was bombed to pieces, and could no longer come up!
...
"Boom boom, boom boom." The diesel engine was roaring, with the peculiar rattling sound of high-pressure fuel injectors, the troops all the way were advancing quickly.
The vanguard is the Panthers. With their gun barrels high, they rushed towards the Belgian army on the opposite side. In one of the command-type Panthers, a tall and thin German admiral had his eyes. Full of excitement.
Walter von Reichenau was born in 1884 in a noble family in Karlsruhe. His father was also a soldier, from an officer to an artillery general.
In 1903, Reichenau enlisted in the army and began to serve in the first regiment of the Guards Field Artillery in Berlin. In World War I, he participated in operations in Lake Mussuri, Lithuania, Flanders and other places~www.novelhall.com ~ Outstanding performance in battle.
After the end of the First World War, Reichenau remained in the 100,000 army. He was promoted continuously, and at the same time, he chose the path of National Socialism.
Yes, he is a support veteran of the staunch Workers' Party. He has a firm belief in the German army. In the comments of later generations, he is one of the staunch founders of the Third Reich.
After the Polish campaign, he was promoted to general and was also responsible for commanding the Sixth Army under the command of Bok. The mission of his army was also the most important in the entire army.
Advance to the narrow corridor between Rotterdam and Liège, overcome obstacles such as the Maas River and the well-fortified Albert Canal, and quickly seize the Eben-Emar Fortress at the southern end of the Albert Canal with the cooperation of paratroopers. Chu forcefully crossed the canal.
Break through the front between Maastricht and Liège and clear the way to Brussels!
It can be said that Reichenau’s mission is of decisive significance to the victory of the entire battle. Whether the forces of the Belgian and Allied forces can be resolutely restrained so that they will soon lose their freedom of movement depends on the actions of the German Sixth Army. The speed.
Reichenau’s men consisted of 14 infantry divisions and 2 tank divisions. Now, he gathered all the tank divisions together and moved forward quickly. As the commander of the entire group army, he actually rushed to the forefront. !
Fast, fast, must be fast, the paratroopers of the fortress are waiting for their own side, and their side must be reinforced in the shortest time!
At this time, what is the overall command? Just rush forward, and the troops behind, following up, will naturally protect their flanks!
After years of research on the tactics of the German armored forces, they are now quite mature. They quickly advance and divide and encircle. Their biggest advantage is that they are fast, so fast that the enemy can't react at all!
