Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Three days of fire preparation flickered by, and the more than 8,000 guns of the Germanic Imperial Army fired millions of shells.

Intensive artillery fire almost ploughed the positions of the Gauls and the sun never set several times.

Coupled with the bombing of the German Imperial Air Force, the defensive line built by the Gauls and the Sunseters in the northern part of the Gaul state has been seriously damaged.

Although, their casualties were not too serious. However, after the defense line was destroyed, it was even more difficult for them to withstand the attack of the German Imperial Army.

On October 12, 1714, the Germanic Imperial Army assembled eight armies on the Western Front, totaling 1.6 million troops, launched an attack from the southern part of the Kingdom of Biliz to the northern part of Gaul.

The 1st Army took the lead, crossing the border directly and advancing rapidly to the south.

After the lost tanks and armored vehicles of the 1st Panzer Division under its command were replenished, 300 ‘Wolf’ light tanks and 240 ‘Hound Dog’ armored vehicles formed a torrent of steel and swept towards the positions of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

The 2nd and 3rd Armies of the Germanic Imperial Army also attacked south from Mons and Namur, respectively.

The 2nd Panzer Division and the 3rd Panzer Division were also the main attacking forces this time.

The other 4th , 5th , 6th , 14th and 15th Armies advanced south from other directions.

The powerful assault power of the armored forces was vividly displayed on the plain.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Mortars from one gate were firing fiercely, and the curved trajectory was capable of smashing shells directly on the positions of the Gauls and the Sunseters. It can even accurately strike their bunkers or permanent fire points.

Although the previous shelling of the German Imperial Army was very fierce, it was still unable to completely destroy the fortifications of the Sun and the Gauls. Many fortifications remained. And these fortifications will become an obstacle for the soldiers of the Germanic Empire to attack. It is undoubtedly best to use mortars to destroy these fish that have slipped through the net.

“Crunch! Crunch! ”

The tracks of the tank crushed the ground, making a sound that made people sour.

“Prepare to fight! The Germans came up and took up arms and entered the position! ”

“Behind us is our homeland, and we will never allow the Germans to set foot on our soil!”

The officers of the Gallic Army shouted loudly, urging the soldiers to enter the position.

Countless Gallic soldiers emerged from the anti-gun holes, armed with rifles, and entered the position along the communication trenches.

However, as soon as many people poked their heads out, they were frightened by the oncoming tank.

“Oh God! What is that thing? ”

“Is that the devil’s chariot?”

Many Gauls who went to war for the first time were frightened.

“Anti-tank gun ready! The Germanic tanks are coming, take them out! Otherwise, our position will not be able to hold! ”

An officer of the Gallic Army roared.

Two soldiers came running with a thick rifle.

They mounted their rifles on the trenches and aimed them at a ‘wolf’ light tank.

“Bang!”

The anti-tank rifle fired, and the huge recoil made the soldiers who operated it white.

Bullets, which had a caliber of 20 mm, whizzed and fired at the Wolf light tank.

“Dang!”

A crisp sound sounded, and the bullets fired from the anti-tank rifle accurately hit the frontal armor of the Wolf light tank.

But unfortunately, only a dent was left in the frontal armor up to 45 mm thick, which did not break through the armor.

“Abominable! Didn’t break through! ”

“Attack the side! The Germanic tanks had thick frontal armor and much weaker side armor! ”

By the time the anti-tank soldiers rushed to open fire, the tanks were already aiming at them.

“Boom!”

With a cannon sound, a 57mm high-explosive shell flew out of the chamber and bombarded here fiercely.

“Boom!”

The shells exploded, and the two anti-tank soldiers, along with their anti-tank rifles, were blown to smithereens.

Anti-tank rifles were nothing more than emergency weapons that the Gauls hastily made. In fact, it was difficult to achieve results in the face of the armored forces of the Germanic Imperial Army.

Unless it hits the side armor of the Wolf light tank, it simply cannot be penetrated.

Of course, if it is an attack on the “Hound” armored vehicle, then it is another matter.

Even the two-pounder anti-tank gun and the three-pounder anti-tank gun need to be able to penetrate the frontal armor of the Wolf light tank at a relatively close distance.

After all, the Wolf light tank, designed under Auguste’s auspices, had a frontal armor thickness of 45 mm. Moreover, there is still an inclined armor with a 60-degree inclination angle, which further enhances the defense.

But even so, tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in battle.

It’s just that the anti-tank weapons of the Sun Never Set and the Gauls played a role. However, the amount of equipment is still too small. Especially when the Germanic Imperial Army attacked, it often put in a regiment or even a division of tanks in a certain section of the attack.

A torrent of steel consisting of hundreds or more tanks instantly drowned out the anti-tank weapons of the Sun and the Gauls.

“Tap-da-da! Rumble! Rumble! ”

As soon as tanks and armoured vehicles broke through the Gaul and Sunseter lines, the moment of massacre came.

Tank guns and machine guns opened heavy fire, killing Gauls and the sun in the positions.

“Die, damn Germans!”

A brave Gallic soldier with an explosive bag rushes at a ‘wolf’ light tank and wants to blow it up.

But unfortunately, it was strafed by heavy machine guns located on top of the tank.

“Tap-da-da!”

The commander directly operated the heavy machine gun and opened fierce fire, instantly knocking the Gallic soldier into the sieve.

In order to strengthen the firepower, the Germanic Empire tanks also deployed a heavy machine gun at the top, which was operated by the commander directly leaning out.

Although it is a little more dangerous, it greatly strengthens the close defense capability of the tank. It would be more difficult for the enemy to blow up the tanks of the Germanic Imperial Army.

As the armored forces of the Germanic Imperial Army broke through the enemy’s defenses, a large number of infantry following the tanks also poured into the enemy’s defenses, and began to cooperate with tanks and armored vehicles to clear the remnants of the enemy on the position. The defense line of the Germans and Gauls has been torn open by the Germanic Imperial Army.
