The Third Reich in Desperation

The looming crisis of national subjugation made Filipovitz, who was in charge of the Warsaw city defense commander, unable to sleep well for two consecutive days.

If this continues, maybe he will have to sleep in a German prisoner-of-war camp before long!

Indeed, there are still quite a few civilians in Warsaw, and if they were all sent to the front as cannon fodder, it would seem to be an objective amount.

However, there is a fundamental difference between civilians and soldiers!

The battle that took place on the outskirts of the city has become more brutal with the arrival of German reinforcements.

These engineers can sometimes place a large amount of explosives with the help of terrain or the cover of armored vehicles.

Then, they were able to directly blast the entire building that was resisting, and instantly wiped out all the Polish defenders who were planning to resist!

Sometimes, the German army would use individual flamethrowers to attack the basement where the bullets were being fired, turning the Polish soldiers hiding in the dark into a pile of black coke!

In just two days, the fierce battle put the elite Polish soldiers specially arranged by Filipowitz to buy time at the front on the verge of collapse.

Well-trained soldiers are still like this, let alone the cannon fodder of the militia who have just touched their guns for a few days.

Body Chapter 2: Poland Will Not Die

Outside the city of Poland, where the German army is stationed, the 7th company of the Wehrmacht in Lyon is being repaired in a village.

Lyon and his party looked at the slow-moving heavy assault guns and the SS soldiers in black uniforms, with their chests raised and their upper bodies exposed on the chariot. It was impossible not to envy them.

"That big guy, look at the welds on the side, this guy's frontal armor is at least four inches, and look at its barrel, it's a 150mm caliber gun!"

A tall man among the onlookers of the 7th Company of the National Defense Forces pointed at the Grizzly assault gun and loudly showed his opinion.

And when the 170mm heavy assault gun appeared on the corner of the street, everyone, including the tall man, stopped pointing and gasped in surprise.

"The designer of this thing is simply a lunatic!" Bruce, who had been silent in a row, couldn't help sighing suddenly.

Calling all the way from Rhodes, what big scene haven't the officers and soldiers of the 7th company seen?But the so-called big scene they saw was basically a huge crowd of Polish soldiers, and they all rushed down the street with a machine gun.

But this 170mm caliber heavy assault gun, this black muzzle, and this huge size, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 7th company, are much more shocking than the crowds of Polish military targets!

The soldiers of the 7th company have never seen such crazy heavy equipment, a full 170mm caliber, which is already much larger than the PAK 37mm tank defense gun they used!

In this first close-up viewing, the officers and soldiers of the 7th company were dumbfounded and watched the 170mm heavy assault gun rumbling past them.As the heavy assault guns passed by, the dirt roads along the way in the small village were crushed by heavy tracks, leaving deep track marks.

In the village, a few Polish villagers who stayed behind to hide in their rooms because they were willing to leave their homes looked at the giant steel beast through the crack of the door, shivering with their children in their arms.

Sergeant Carl, the commander of the 170 heavy assault gun, stretched out his upper body, and together with all the crew members who could show their faces, they accepted the cheers of the surrounding Wehrmacht soldiers with a look of embarrassment.

"Friend!" As the company commander of the 7th company, Lieutenant Leon asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "How powerful is this stuff?"

From the rank of general, Sergeant Karl should salute immediately when he sees Leon.After all, he is a non-commissioned officer, while others, Leon, are officers.

However, officers and soldiers of the SS all use the salute of raising their hands, while the Wehrmacht requires a standard military salute.Besides, Leon took the initiative to talk, so he couldn't pretend not to notice Lieutenant Min's existence.

After less than two seconds, Karl quickly made a decision, raised his hand, and immediately answered Lyon's question to divert his attention.

"Hello, Lieutenant!" Carl raised his hand quickly, and then replied loudly with a smile: "Lieutenant! It's hard for me to describe your problem clearly, but I can use our last battle The results of the battle prove the power of this thing."

On the left side of the thick front of the 170 heavy assault guns that Karl and the others drove, the results of this steel monster in the Modlin Fortress were painted, a total of 23 fortress results logos.

Following Karl's explanation, Leon and others immediately understood the brilliant results of this heavy assault gun!A chariot that broke through 23 fortresses and remained unscathed was unheard of before!

In addition, on the right side of the assault gun, a cute cartoon rhino logo is drawn.

Rhino is the nickname given to this heavy assault gun by the SS Experimental Weapons Experimental Group.

With his frontal armor, so far immune to all anti-tank fire, and his invincible heavy artillery, the guy got such a metaphorical animal moniker, which, while corny, was quite appropriate.

To use an idiom from China, this is called Phi Jian Zhi Rui.In the words of diving champion Qu Yuan, this is "fuck Wu Gexi wearing rhinoceros armor".Another way of saying that Europeans are used to is "armed to the heel"!

That's right, literally armed to the heels.In order to minimize the enemy's firepower to attack the fragile track, the Rhino assault gun has also specially installed track skirts, which greatly reduces the possibility of being interrupted by the track.

After all, this thing has about 60 tons, and there is no tractor of any kind in Germany now, and it will be difficult to deal with it if the track is interrupted.

Compared with the historical Rhino anti-tank gun, this guy has more veritable and more reliable protection.

Looking at the 170mm "rhino horn cannon", with the traces of being attacked by various weapons in Poland on the front, it looks more like a violent rhino.

And the grizzly bear assault gun that passed by the village next, looked much more low-key against the background of the rhinoceros.

They just uniformly painted a roaring bear's head on the side of the battle room, and there were not many battle result marks.

After all, the attack targets of the Grizzly Assault Gun are mostly attached small and medium bunkers and suppressing infantry with grenades, and the members of the Grizzly Assault Gun feel that it is cheap to paint such results.

So, they just don't paint this kind of victories!

But not painted, more does not mean no!

The Grizzly is popular with soldiers for its heavy armor and its ability to sustain heavy fire support at close range.

They played a greater role than expected in capturing the Fortress of Modlin!

After all, only the Grizzly assault gun accompanied the infantry attack.

The targets of the Rhino Heavy Assault Gun are often those thick fortresses that the 150 guns cannot solve.

As for the main fortress structure with more complete defense, it was handed over to the Air Force.

The yelling of the Stuka when it dived was accompanied by 500kg armor-piercing projectiles, which had already become a nightmare for all fortress defenders.

The 88kg heavy armor-piercing bombs hung by the JU-1000 medium bomber are responsible for the collapse of the main fort structure.

By the way, one of the Grizzly assault guns passing by now also killed a Polish tank excellently.

At that time, it was the climax stage when the Grizzly assault guns followed the infantry into the fortified area.

It was on such a chaotic battlefield that members of a Grizzly assault gun accidentally discovered a surviving French-made Renault light tank.

As a result, the Grizzly Bear members, who were far more surprised than frightened, quietly rewarded each other with a 150mm high-explosive bomb while the other party hadn't found themselves.

How could a Renault light tank at the World War I level be able to resist such a violent attack, and it turned into a spare part on the spot.

As soon as the battle ended, the commander of the Grizzly assault gun smiled and directed the members to paint the results of the battle.After all, although Renault is a little behind, it is still a tank, isn't it?Exploding a tank is a clear record.

This unlucky Polish tank eventually became one of the few victory marks on the Grizzly assault gun.

"These things of the SS Army look much more majestic than the cannons we saw at Master Hans!" Looking at Karl and others who were far away, Leon sighed sincerely.

"Let's go, follow up and take a look, maybe we can gain insight and contribute later." Leon made a decision just before Carl and others were about to disappear from sight.

In the command mechanism of the German army, grassroots commanders are often given a lot of freedom to play.Because of this, Lyon can now mobilize the soldiers of the 7th company that had been idled by the headquarters to fight with the SS troops according to his own judgment.
