Chapter 1120 Warburg
The explosion destroyed the entire trench system. Another terrible weapon was the 130 mm small-caliber high-speed cannon, which fired 5.2-inch shrapnel at the speed of rifle bullets, causing the French to lose their lives before they could detect it.
Among them, the 13 heavy howitzers of the "Big Belta" have arc-shaped ballistics of the shells up to 122 meters and hit the target in 60 seconds. They can penetrate reinforced concrete buildings and are extremely powerful! When the shell explodes, dust, debris and smoke form a huge cone, rising into a height of more than 300 meters. Artillery observers perform ballistic corrections from the air on the plane, so that the shells gradually approach the target. Each shell explodes on the ground and can form a huge pit dozens of meters square! It seems that the feet of an invisible beast are approaching you step by step!
This sense of fear of the gradually approaching shells can make the soldiers in the underground fortifications hysterical! When the explosions get closer, it seems to explode on their heads. Their horror is also higher than that. The shells finally explode above their heads. The steel warheads break through the fortifications, the ceiling collapses, the tunnels are blocked, and the basement is full of flames and gas, and the explosions and shouts are mixed together, as if the end of the world is approaching.
This kind of electric-controlled giant cannon once played a decisive role in conquering the Liege Fortress in Belgium! In that battle, the German army used only four such heavy howitzers! In just four days, the "Liege Fortress" that is known as the most powerful fortress in the world, to pieces! And this time, all 13 heavy howitzers of the German army were deployed on the front of the Verdun Fortress! Its power can be imagined!
If it weren't for the underground arsenal that bought time, Akan led everyone to run fast enough, and now he would probably have been with the frontier positions that they didn't know where they were, and turned into ashes!
Everyone rested here for half an hour and felt dizzy. The space here was too narrow and the oxygen content was very low. Franken, who was slightly weaker in physique, was already in a semi-coma. After taking some supplies, they recovered some vitality. Then they continued along the tunnel excavated by Yoda.
Fortunately, this time I went up, which at least gave everyone hope to breathe fresh air. Crawling in this cramped tunnel, human will is also being wiped out, and the tunnel seems to have no end. Only creatures like Goblin can adapt to this environment. If Yoda had not evolved into the Goblin King and had also acquired a group of tribes in the scene, so he had the ability to crazily dig and summon his subordinates, I'm afraid everyone would not have the treatment of exploring the tunnel at most, and at most they would be able to die in it.
The French soldiers in the Yongzhu Fortification were suppressed by the crazy artillery fire of the German army. Most of the artillery deployed by Verdun were dismantled and transported away by the army headquarters. Even the symbolic counterattack could not be achieved. The French upper class believed that after the heavy artillery was in trouble, the fortress was out of date. Therefore, they had a useless mentality for Verdun Fortress and withdrew most of the defenders and heavy artillery in the fortress. It was because of this mistake that the German army had an absolute advantage in the early stage of the Battle of Verdun!
In a relatively safe underground bunker, a group of soldiers were hiding in the cafeteria, which had been converted into a temporary battlefield hospital. Because there were too many wounded people! They were looking forward to the stop of the German artillery. But this wish would probably take 8 hours to come true. And in the next eight months, such attacks will be common. The wounded people in the trench outside were constantly sent in, and they were all blown up to the point of blood! The military doctors and nurses were so busy that they were like ants, but their efforts, most of the time, could only serve as a comforting effect. Next, they could only let the priests pray for the deceased.
The ground in a corner of the underground bunker canteen suddenly collapsed. Several French soldiers were startled, pulled the bolts, and shouted nervously. They were suppressed by the cannons above their heads and were almost mentally broken. Several friendly soldiers emerged from the hole. Although they all looked strange, some of them seemed to be Orientals and Indians. But they should be friendly soldiers, and they were senior officers. This is the default of the identity of the keeper of the precepts.
"Are you from that unit? Commander?" the French soldier immediately saluted and asked loudly.
Akan ignored it, patted his clothes, looked around, and asked in turn: "Where is this?"
"This is Fort Worth! Sir!" the soldier replied.
Akan nodded and pulled Zhang Fan and others out of the tunnel behind him. Akan said to the soldier: "We are from the Duomon Fortress, which has been captured by the Germans!" Akan's lies will be realized tomorrow, so they cannot be verified because everyone can't get out now. If they can get out, then the Duomon Fortress will be really captured.
"What? How is that possible?" the soldier said in surprise: "Duomon Fortress is a three-dimensional defensive fortress!"
"Nothing is impossible! The damn Germans threw 100,000 shells there! The Duomon Fortress has been razed to the ground!" Akan said angrily, and he was also surprised. If this was Fort Vaugh, everyone still did not leave the front line. And after the Duomon Fortress was lost, this place will become the main target of the German attack! And it will inevitably be captured in three months!
In any case, Zhang Fan's status in the scene is still very high. Therefore, although everyone should be considered a deserter, they were treated more in line with their status. They received a serving of food for scene supplies and arranged a slightly cleaner corner to rest.
The sound of shells above the head exploded one after another, and it was estimated that the trenches on the periphery might have been intermittent! The howlings of the wounded did not stop, which stimulated everyone's nerves and also indicated that a more tragic battle was about to begin.
As a doctor, Zhang Fan came in handy here. Because of his fame, the soldiers and officers here have recognized him. So he and Green Wings were immediately invited to help deal with the wounded. Moreover, this task was required to be carried out as a scene, and Zhang Fan could not refuse. The rest of the people were actually arranged in succession, some went to trenches outside to investigate, and some were sent to guard somewhere to a key place. Riyadh and Aken took Yoda and were sent to repair the fortifications that were blown up. It seemed that the scene would not make everyone leisure.
However, these scene tasks are of medium danger. As long as you are not far away from the trenches, the biggest danger is the cover of artillery overhead. Vaugh Fort is also the main area of the German artillery attack this time. Although it was not hit as devastating as the Duomon Fortress, it was also blew up by heavy artillery, with heavy casualties and heavy casualties!
At this time, the rulers discovered that the German shells were like meteors of rain, carrying a blazing flame! Some giant shells even faintly showed the roaring black dragon head, spewing flames and rushing to the ground! On the French fortress, there was also a layer of light golden defensive barrier shining with a faint light! And from time to time, there was a naked ancient Roman fighter's virtual image, holding up a giant shield to defend against the raindrops in the sky! This is the supernatural phenomenon in the 500% weakening scene!
After the evening, the German artillery fire density was much smaller. Just as the French army wanted to take a break, the experienced defensive commander of the Fort Worth immediately ordered everyone to prepare for defense and everyone entered the trench!
Akan leaned in the trench and looked at his pocket watch. At 16:45, he saw the overwhelming German soldiers in the distance, holding bayonet rifles, roaring towards the French positions! The barbed wire and foxholes that could have blocked the attack of German soldiers had been blown to the ground in the preparation of German artillery fire! Many trenches were also blown into sections and could not be connected.
The Yin clouds in the sky actually condensed into a black cross with gold edges when the German army attacked, symbolizing the arrogance of the German Empire and attacking the French positions! The war song of the German Empire was faintly heard in the air! A radical "Marseille" sounded faintly above the French positions, and the image of a three-color red, blue and white shield symbolizing the Third Republic of France appeared in the clouds, flying like a flag!
The French soldiers in the trench knew that they had no way out, and faced five or six times their enemies, and bravely fired and fought back! In this era, the defensive side had to take advantage. What's more, this is the Yongzhu Fortress Area! The terrain is condescending, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it weren't for the German artillery coverage, even if there were millions of soldiers, they would have to lose their slaughter!
The heavy water-cooled machine gun fired violently at the German army that was rushing up at a speed of 2,000 bullets per minute! The barrage seemed to be the shining sickle of the God of Death, easily reaping the lives of the attacking troops! But the first and second lines of defense of the French army were fortifications mainly based on field trenches, which had long been destroyed under the German artillery fire! Most of the soldiers were killed in artillery fire, so it was difficult to block the German foot attack. In less than two hours, the German army occupied the first deep defense line of more than 500 meters!
In the sky, German planes flew like hornets, and from time to time they threw high-explosive bombs in areas where the French counterattacked fiercely. They also provided shooting prompts and calibrations for heavy artillery! French planes flew into reconnaissance in sporadic places and were soon dispersed by German fighters. In such a three-dimensional attack, the casualties of French soldiers increased rapidly!
On such a cruel battlefield, a group of rulers fought soy sauce under the command of Akan and Patiguli. They took the gray props of the First World War in the scene and fought back one by one. Because everyone can find that the bullets fired by soldiers in these scenes actually had strong flashing spiritual abilities! It seems that the defense of the spiritual abilities of the rulers is very big! This is 500% weakening the energy of the scene!
