Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Kingdom of Belis, Liège fortress defense line.

Both the 4th and 5th Armies of the Germanic Imperial Army received orders and the final general offensive took place on the morning of August 17. Both the 4th and 5th armies were ready to capture the fortress of Liège and break through the defense line of the fortress of Liège in one fell swoop. Then, together with the 6th Army, a decisive battle was fought against the Beliz Army and the Gallic Army.

After receiving the order, the officers and men of the 4th and 5th armies were ready.

However, many soldiers wondered, did the top of the army want them to storm the fortress of Liège with their flesh and blood? In that case, how many casualties they would have to pay!

The change in the German Imperial Army also attracted the attention of the defenders of the fortress of Liège.

Lieutenant General Gillard Lehman had ordered the defenders to be ready for battle and must withstand the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Giladleman did not forget to send a telegram asking for help, asking for more reinforcements to gather at the fortress of Liège.

The 1st Army, the 2nd Army, the 3rd Army, and the 1st Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Gallic Army all began to assemble behind the fortress of Liège, preparing to resist the attack of the Germanic Empire.

At this moment, on the railway line east of the fortress of Liège, train guns have been deployed on the railway line. The hoe was separated from the carriages in front of and behind the train gun and nailed to the ground on both sides so that it could counteract the strong recoil when the train gun fired.

Two 380-mm train guns, four 305-mm train guns, eight 280-mm train guns and 16 210-mm train guns all entered the positions and were ready to fire.

The commander of the train artillery unit looked at the watch on his wrist, and immediately gave the order to open fire according to the scheduled time.

“Fire!

As soon as the order was given, a full 30 train guns began shelling.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A deafening explosion sounded, and one large-caliber shell after another smashed into the fortress of Liège in the distance. The huge recoil made even the huge body of the train gun shake.

The shells, under the action of huge kinetic energy, smashed into the fortress of Liège at high speed. Because the shells rubbed violently with the air and emitted a shrill whistling sound, the defenders of the Liège fortress and the soldiers of the Germanic Imperial Army who were preparing to attack the Liège fortress involuntarily covered their ears and opened their mouths.

Smiles, immediately appeared on the faces of Admiral House and Duke Württemberg.

“The heavy artillery units of the empire have opened fire, and the fortress of Liège is finished!” In the minds of the two, this thought involuntarily appeared.

And Lieutenant General Gilad Leman, commander of the defenders of the fortress of Liège, suddenly changed his face.

“Large-caliber heavy artillery! Damn, the Germans used large-caliber heavy artillery. “Lieutenant General Gillard Lehmann knew very well that although the defense of the fortress of Liège was strong, it could not withstand the heavy shelling of large-caliber heavy artillery.

“Boom! Rumble! ”

One by one, large-caliber shells fell from the sky and smashed the fortress of Liège.

The fort, poured in reinforced concrete, was pierced under heavy shelling and exploded violently.

The soldiers of the Beliz Army hiding in the fortress were instantly blown up into slag.

Especially 380-mm shells, which are extremely powerful. Even the strongest fortress could not hold it, and it was easily penetrated.

Every explosion of a large-caliber train shell leaves a huge crater.

The fortified fortress of Liège was destroyed like paper paste under the heavy shelling of the Germanic army, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Oh God! Are we actually armed with such a powerful artillery? It’s incredible! A Germanic soldier exclaimed.

“Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The empire will win! ”

More Germanic soldiers cheered.

Such a strong fortress of the Bilisians could not withstand the powerful train guns of the Germanic army, let alone the Biliz soldiers.

The train artillery unit of the Germanic Imperial Army, the shelling lasted only an hour. , thousands of large-caliber shells were fired. However, this had completely destroyed the fortress of Liège.

Even the main body of the fortress buried in the ground was blown up, and Lieutenant General Gillard Leman, the commander of the fortress, was also killed.

The Biliz Army units guarding the fortress suffered heavy losses.

Even the soldiers who survived were frightened. There is simply no courage to continue fighting. Under such circumstances, it is simply delusional to expect them to withstand the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.

Major General Hausen and the Duke of Württemberg, seeing the destruction of the fortress of Liège, immediately gave the order to attack.

The troops of two infantry divisions rushed straight to the ruined fortress of Liège.

The rest of the troops were ready to cross the line of the Liège fortress and launch an attack on the rear of the Liège fortress.

After destroying the fortress of Liège with train guns, the Germanic Imperial Army captured the fortress of Liège almost effortlessly. The Billis Army, which guarded here, was killed quite a bit. But many others also surrendered to the Germanic Imperial Army.

The Germanic Imperial Army destroyed the fortress of Liège, broke through the defense line of the fortress of Liège, and launched an attack on the hinterland of the kingdom of Bilis.

Shocked, the Allies immediately fought back.

The 2nd Army of the Beliss Army, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Armies of the Gallic Army, and the 1st Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, assembled at the fortress of Liège, were all engaged in the battle.

Although, the Allied armies invested millions of troops here. The Germanic Imperial Army in charge of the attack was only more than 600,000.

However, the situation on the battlefield is one-sided.

The powerful firepower superiority of the Germanic Imperial Army was vividly displayed.

Although, the 75-mm guns armed with the Gallic Army showed themselves very well and had a fast rate of fire.

However, the 75-mm field guns of the Germanic Imperial Army were in no way weaker than them.

More importantly, the Gallic Army used 75-mm field guns as its main artillery, but the Germanic Imperial Army used 105-mm light howitzers and 150-mm heavy howitzers as its main artillery.

The huge gap in caliber gave the Germanic Imperial Army a great advantage in artillery.

This allowed the Gallic Army to be completely suppressed in terms of artillery.

Similarly, the Belisse Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force are also no match for the Germanic Imperial Army in terms of firepower. This gives them a great advantage even in terms of strength. However, it can only be supported by hardship. The war situation is very unfavorable for them.
