The Rise of the Empire

The reason why the Bavarian Army is so powerful is not just because of its powerful armored forces, nor because of its artillery with multiple calibers, nor simply because of its good infantry weapons and air force. The key is that these elements are connected into one through a series of coordination and tactics. Overall, coupled with relatively good radio and wired communications, even if there is an accident, the Bavarian Army can quickly concentrate its forces to counterattack.

After receiving the report from the reconnaissance aircraft, the Cheetah self-propelled artillery that was traveling ten kilometers away quickly put down its gun and raised its gun barrel, which was more than 6 meters long. The shooting elements were quickly transmitted to the artillery through telegrams, from marching status to firing The first shell took no more than 15 minutes. The roaring 150MM shells landed on the Russian 107MM cannon and 122MM howitzer positions. Although it is not dense, the existence of long-range artillery is a threat, telling you that the opponent's main force is paying attention to you, and they may appear at any time!

The continuous artillery bombardment suppressed the opponent, the aircraft suppressed the cavalry, and the front composed of armored soldiers and grenadiers with machine guns blocked the Russian attack. And a rapidly advancing motorized mobile force stabbed hard at the weak link on the Russian flank!

When a group of SKD09 half-track vehicles appeared in the sight of the Russians, the outcome of this Russian reinforcement force was already determined. With the half-track vehicle as the core, thousands of infantrymen spread out to form a wide net, thinking The Russian flanks came around, and the already beaten Russians had no choice in the face of this seemingly sparse but actually dense encirclement network.

The final solution to the problem is always the infantry. When the mechanized infantry arrives, the skirmisher line that sweeps across the battlefield like a comb completely surrounds the opponent. The helpless soldiers squat on the ground numbly and let the German soldiers drive them to the rear, like a hill. Stacks of ammunition and guns were put on wagons and taken away. The remaining artillery has become the most valuable thing. The Russian 107MM cannon and 122MM artillery have become ideal weapons for various infantry divisions because of their consistent weight and average performance.

When the most threatening round of Russian counterattacks failed, the Bavarian gods of death also brought death outside the battlefield. Although the scale was small and the amount of bombs dropped was very limited, strategic bombing has made people happy since it first appeared. People feel deep fear.

Accompanied by the sound of thunderous engines, the 3rd Bomber Group appeared in the sky above Lodz Station. This is one of the most important material transfer stations for the Russian Central Army. The trains departing from Warsaw need to be reorganized here and then move forward to other front lines. Affiliated stations. Dozens of locomotives and hundreds of carriages are being reorganized at the marshalling station. Trains are constantly coming from Warsaw, and trains are heading to other places along the branch lines that extend in all directions. The white steam sent by many trains even formed a white mist over the station.

News of the unfavorable war situation ahead has spread to some extent, but the Russians and Poles working here are not very worried. "The Germans are still far away. Even if they don't fight and march every day, it will take two weeks to get here. By then we will have run away." A stoker said nonchalantly. Just before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the locomotive shake violently, and then as if being pushed aside by a big hand, the entire locomotive began to tilt rapidly to one side.

Along with the violent impact and the sound of metal tearing, the old stoker realized that the train had capsized, but fortunately it hit a car next to it. "God, what's going on?" The old fireman saw the fire outside and the smoke filling the sky. Even half of the space was covered in smoke and flames. People are panicking outside,

Walking through flames and shrapnel, people were killed from time to time.

Three detachments of the entire bomber group pounced on the crowds in the marshalling yard, cargo yard and platform. For different targets, the Bavarian Air Force made different arrangements. High-explosive bombs were used in the marshalling station, and high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs were used in the explosive yard. Facing the Russian officers and soldiers crowded on the platform and the trains transporting troops, air-explosion shrapnel and incendiary bombs were used.

"Keep the formation and ensure target coverage! Hold on!" Raul led his team towards a cargo yard. Although their bombers were not generally equipped with radios, they could still communicate with each other through the signal light on the tail of the aircraft. Can convey some simple information. The most important thing about low-altitude air strikes is to ensure that the formation covers the target area. In an instant, all bombers drop bombs to ensure that there are no gaps or omissions.

The team headed by Raul's bomber passed through the sky first, and more than a dozen 50KG and 100KG bombs detached from their pylons. The height they entered was very low, even the same height as the water tower next to the station. The violent impact caused by the explosion of the high-explosive bomb even made the aircraft slightly unstable. However, the effect of such bombing is worthy of recognition. The first wave of bombing first targeted personnel, vehicles, cranes and other equipment.

Bombs bloomed like flowers of death on the ground. Heavy carriages and cars were torn into pieces like toys by the powerful shock wave, and people were directly swallowed by the flames. Except for some blood stains and traces of burns on the ground, There is nothing outside. The crane was raised high and the boom broke. Half of the building was cut off, and flames and smoke spread throughout the area. Several Russian soldiers who tried to resist with rifles and machine guns were also easily eliminated by the machine gunners. Raul's plane gracefully drew a circle in the sky and began to climb.

The first wave of bombings turned the cargo terminal into a mess, while the second wave of incendiary bombings turned the cargo terminal into a hell! Napalm bombs are low-cost, easy to use, and effective. They are the ultimate weapon for killing people and setting fires when traveling! Produced in Bavaria, you deserve it! Gasoline mixed with coagulant has very strong adhesiveness and permeability. It will not stop burning any organic matter stuck on it, whether it is human or pork!

And this somewhat anti-human weapon made people feel deeply terrified when it first appeared. Bombs like fire rained down from the sky, and little burning oil droplets flew over the entire cargo station, swallowing up everything they could touch like the elusive hellfire.

The first thing to suffer was the clothing, food, tents and other military supplies piled up in the goods yard. These flammable and explosive cotton fabrics and organic matter directly turned into volcanoes when exposed to flames. Coupled with the flour that spread into the air after the first wave of bombings, this seemingly safe thing will actually explode after reaching a certain density. The density plus a little spark can lead to a tragedy, not to mention now. This kind of environment?
