Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One cannon after another was roaring, and one shell after another smashed into the positions of the Germanic army.

The Gallic Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set, using more than fifteen thousand guns of caliber of 75 mm or more, opened heavy fire on the positions of the Germanic Imperial Army.

These guns included the Gaul 75-mm field gun, 105-mm light howitzer, 155-mm heavy howitzer, as well as the 76.2-mm field gun, 114-mm howitzer and 152-mm heavy howitzer of the Napoleons.

As if learning the lessons of previous wars, this time the Gauls and the sun did not fall on the artillery fire very fiercely. Moreover, the number of heavy artillery of a caliber of more than 100 mm was increased, further strengthening the powerful firepower of the troops.

“Fight back, order the artillery to fight back immediately!”

The Germanic Imperial Army also immediately launched a counterattack.

It’s just that in comparison, the artillery of the Germanic Imperial Army is completely inferior in terms of numbers.

The eight army groups on the front line had only more than 9,000 guns combined.

However, even so, the Germanic Imperial Army still had more heavy artillery than the Sun Bu and the Gauls.

But even then, they did not take advantage in the artillery battle.

Fortunately, the Germanic Imperial Army also built strong fortifications. In the face of heavy shelling from the Gauls and the sunseters, the infantry hid inside the fortifications, causing not much damage.

“What about the Air Force? Ask the Air Force to give us support and bomb the artillery positions of the Gauls and the Sunseters! The eyes of Admiral Kluke, commander of the 1st Army of the Germanic Empire, were red.

Because the 1st Army was approaching Barri, it was as if they were a salient on the front, and they were besieged by at least three army groups of Gauls and Sunseters.

The Gauls and the Sunseters concentrated a large number of artillery pieces and opened heavy fire on them.

This left the 1st Army with huge casualties.

Fortunately, after the second year of the war, the strength of the German Imperial Air Force was also strengthened.

In addition to the earliest F12 fighters and H12 bombers, the latest F14 fighters and H14 bombers of the German Imperial Air Force have been mass-produced since the end of last year.

Now, the old F12 fighters and H12 bombers have been discontinued. All aircraft factories are working on the new F14 fighters and H14 bombers.

Now, the Germanic Imperial Air Force has formed 15 fighter wings and 8 bomber wings.

Of these, 10 fighter wings and 5 bomber wings were deployed on the Western Front.

The Germanic Air Force built a large number of airfields in the northern part of Gaul, the southern part of the Kingdom of Bilis, and the southwestern part of the Germanic Empire. Ensure that the warplanes of the German Imperial Air Force can fly over the battlefield and launch attacks on the Gauls and the Sunseters.

“Phew! Shout! Shout! ”

One by one, H12 bombers and H14 bombers appeared in the sky to bombard the artillery positions of the Sun and the Gauls.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense explosions sounded, and I saw one after another the artillery positions of the Gauls and the Sunset were covered with bombs.

“Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire and knocked down the Germanic planes!”

“Tap-da-da! Knock knock! ”

The Gauls and the Sunrise were also on guard against the air force fighters of the Germanic Empire for a long time.

Because their own aircraft are so bad that they are not at all a match for advanced fighters of the Germanic Imperial Air Force. Therefore, both the Gallic Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set were urgently equipped with a number of anti-aircraft weapons to guard against the attack of the German Imperial Air Force.

“Boom! Rumble! ”

In the sky, shells from anti-aircraft guns constantly exploded.

During this process, many bombers of the German Imperial Air Force were hit.

The fragile airframe simply could not withstand the shells of anti-aircraft guns and was easily destroyed.

One plane after another, dragging the smoke to the ground, fell into piles of scrap iron.

Many pilots, the first time to parachute.

In the sky, white umbrella flowers appeared.

However, the Gauls and Germans on the ground excitedly rushed to the parachuting pilots, trying to catch them.

Although these pilots successfully parachuted, they escaped. However, falling into the hands of the Gauls and the sun does not necessarily end well.

Even if you won’t be killed, you will at least have to eat a good meal.

“Tap-da-da!”

In the sky, one after another F12 fighters and F14 fighters have strafed the anti-aircraft positions of the Gauls and the Sunseters.

Bullets from dense aviation machine guns poured down from the sky.

Quite a few air defense and artillery were beaten into a sieve.

Although, the German Imperial Air Force paid a lot of losses under the anti-aircraft fire of the Gauls and the Sunseters.

However, it inflicted great damage on the artillery of the Gauls and the sunseters.

This strongly supported the operations of the Germanic Imperial Army.

Although, the artillery of the Germanic Imperial Army was still at a disadvantage in artillery battles. But their counterattack also cost the artillerymen of the Gauls and the Sun Never Fall dearly. It also made it impossible for the Gauls and Sunseters to use powerful artillery to destroy the defensive positions of the Germanic Imperial Army.

At this time, the sun did not set and the Gauls launched a large-scale shelling, and the meaning of fire preparation was already very obvious.

This also indicates that the sun does not set and the Gauls are about to launch a large-scale counteroffensive.

Under such circumstances, after deliberating with the Germanic Emperor August and the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Moltke Jr. and others, they immediately ordered a change in the battle plan.

“It was ordered that the armies assembled in northern Gaul temporarily abandon their offensive plans and move on to defensive operations. Since the Gauls and the Sunset are going to take the initiative to attack, let them attack. I’d rather see how many lives they are going to take to fill our trenches. In this way, you can also kill their living forces to the maximum and prepare for the next battle! August said.

Although, the battle plan will have to be adjusted. However, this did not hurt for the Germanic Empire.

On the contrary, the Germanic Empire was able to gain a greater advantage.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Moltke replied.

“In addition, our artillery is at a disadvantage, allowing the Air Force to intensify air strikes and support ground forces.” August then ordered.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Moltke nodded repeatedly.

He also knew that this was a good opportunity to hit Gauls and the sun hard.
