Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Damn the Germans are already close to a short distance from the bar. Their planes still hovered the bar every day, dropping bombs and strafing them. It’s just too arrogant! Raymond Ncaré was furious.

“Your Excellency, we have developed a number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and we are stepping up their deployment in Bari City. If the Germanic planes dare to come, we will definitely let them taste our power! The commander of the defense of Bari City, Admiral Galierni, said.

“Driving away Germanic planes is just a minor problem. The most important thing is that we have to resist the attack of the Germans, and we must not let them take it. Otherwise, it will be devastating to people’s confidence. Don’t want to fight this battle anymore! Raymond Poencaré shook his head.

“Your Excellency, there are still 100,000 troops in the vicinity, and we will definitely hold it.” In addition, the Gauls launched an attack on the bar this time, and it can be regarded as a lone army. Their main forces were also blocked by us on the northern defense line. The troops who put into the attack on the bar are only a few hundred thousand people.

Perhaps, with the current defenders of Barri, it would be very difficult to withstand the attack of the Germans. However, we have more reinforcements to come up. At that time, we will definitely be able to withstand the attack of the Germans! ”

Admiral Gallieni seemed confident.

In fact, the high-level officials of Gaul know very well that the key battlefield is not in the bar, but in the northern part of Gaul.

The absolute main force of the Germanic Imperial Army hit the northern part of Gaul. Similarly, the main forces of the Gallic Army and the Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set Empire were also in the northern region.

If the Germanic Imperial Army wins, then the main force of the Germanic Imperial Army will come from north to south, straight to Barri. At that time, the Gallic state will definitely not be able to resist.

“Your Excellency, I have ordered the 11th Army to arrive at the bar for reinforcements. This army group has barely formed combat effectiveness. Perhaps not yet a match for the Germans in the field. However, it is still no problem to use it for defensive operations! Marshal Xia Fei said.

Raymond Ncallé nodded, believing that the bar was safe for the time being.

However, it is very difficult to say whether this situation can continue.

October 30.

The 1st Panzer Division and the 1st Infantry Division of the Germanic Imperial Army captured Taveni northwest of Barri. It is only more than ten kilometers away from the center of the bar. From here, you can already see the Eiffel Tower clearly.

However, the battle reached this point, and the Germanic Imperial Army also temporarily lost the ability to attack. ，

The tanks and armored vehicles of the 1st Panzer Division have already lost most of the half. So far, only about sixty Wolf light tanks and more than forty Hound armored vehicles remain.

Because the lone army goes deep, it will not be replenished for a while and a half.

Under such circumstances, it is already difficult to continue the offensive.

“Your Excellency Commander, the resistance of the Gauls is becoming more and more fierce and tenacious, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to break into it!” Lieutenant General Frank looked regretful.

Admiral Kluk was also very sorry, he felt that victory seemed to be only one step away from him.

“Even if we can’t break into it, we can’t make the Gauls feel good. Both the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade were transferred to strengthen the defenses here. Then, the artillery was mobilized and fired at the bar. Even if we can’t get into the bar for a while, our shells will go into the bar. And, begin to build a defensive line in preparation for holding on. Next spring, we must break in! Admiral Kluke said viciously.

“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Lieutenant General Frank replied.

A few hours later , the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Germanic Army moved into Taverny.

More than a hundred 150-mm heavy howitzers of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade entered the position, and the hideous muzzles were aimed at the city of Bari.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

With the commander’s order, the artillery began to roar.

Not only that, but the artillery of the 1st Infantry Division, the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 1st Panzer Division also joined the shelling.

More than 300 guns of caliber of 75 mm or more opened heavy fire on the bar.

One shell after another, smashed into the bar, and exploded.

Ancient buildings were destroyed in the explosion. Among them, there are many places of great interest.

For the Germans, these monumental artifacts of the Gauls, they did not care. All they want is victory in the war. Even if the entire bar is blown into ruins, they will not hesitate.

In the face of the heavy shelling of the German Imperial Army, the Gauls were furious and launched a heroic return fire.

The Gallic army assembled in the city of Bari also had quite a few artillery pieces. Especially after receiving reinforcements from the 11th Army, there were more artillery.

Unfortunately, their artillery was often bombarded by the Germanic Imperial Air Force as soon as it opened.

This made the Gauls obviously have more artillery, but could not exert their full strength, and a large number of artillery and artillery were destroyed by the bombers of the German Imperial Air Force during the battle, and the losses were increasing.

Under such circumstances, the Germanic Imperial Army did not enter the bar. However, it began to wreak havoc on it.

This behavior of the Germanic Imperial Army also attracted unanimous condemnation from the cultural and archaeological circles, believing that the Germanic Imperial Army could not be so barbaric. The cultural monuments of the city belong not only to the Gauls, but to the people of the whole world.

Even, some brains demanded that the Germanic Imperial Army stop shelling the bar and promise not to attack the bar. Lest this cultural heritage city be destroyed in the war.

Many even consider the Germanic Imperial Army to be simply barbarians and cultural destroyers.

It’s just that the Germanic Empire simply scoffed at this demand.

Now it’s a war, there’s a war! If you fight, it will be dead! Even if those cultural relics and monuments are precious, can they be more precious than the lives of soldiers?

The Germanic Empire did not put the lives of its soldiers at risk for the sake of so-called cultural relics and monuments.

And this, which was even more supported by the soldiers of the Germanic Empire.
