Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Excellency, the biggest problem is that the Germanic army is approaching, and they will soon attack us. This is undoubtedly a great threat to us. Marshal French had a serious expression.

“Order the front-line troops, in any case, to withstand the Germanic attack. Otherwise, everyone will not be able to go back. Countless soldiers want to return to their homeland and want to go home! Count Kitchener sighed.

Before the outbreak of war, perhaps they did not expect such a scene at all.

On April 23, 1715, the Germanic Imperial Army’s 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th armies had approached the Normandy Peninsula.

One by one, artillery units entered the position, and the guns of the gate had already raised their muzzles and aimed at the defense line of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

“Fire!”

With the commander’s order, the artillery of the Germanic Imperial Army immediately launched a fierce shelling.

In total, more than three thousand 155-mm heavy howitzers, 105-mm light howitzers and 75-mm field guns poured shells fiercely on the positions of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

One shell after another, like raindrops, fell on the position of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense explosions sounded in the positions of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never set, and a large section of the position was shrouded in gunsmoke and firelight.

In the violent explosion, the fortifications built by the Imperial Expeditionary Force were constantly destroyed.

In the absence of materials, the fortifications of the Imperial Expeditionary Force were almost all civil structures, and they could not withstand the fierce shelling of the Germanic Imperial Army.

“Fight back! Order our artillery to immediately counterattack. Contact the Navy and immediately let the naval guns fire on the Germanic artillery! Marshal Douglas Haig, deputy commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, ordered loudly.

“Boom! Rumble! ”

The artillery of the Imperial Expeditionary Force immediately launched a return fire.

It’s just that when they retreated, they were in a hurry. So much so that a lot of heavy weapons were abandoned, and the number of artillery pieces carried was not much.

So much so that the Imperial Expeditionary Force was completely suppressed when facing the fierce shelling of the Germanic Imperial Army.

However, when the large-caliber naval guns of the Germanic Imperial Navy were added, it was completely different.

On the sea, the three ‘Bellerophon-class’ battleships, three ‘St. Vincent-class’ battleships, and eight ‘Edward VII-class’ battleships of the Royal Navy of the Empire have raised their guns.

Observers on land are reporting data to them, and gunners are using the data to make adjustments to the direction of the shelling.

A few minutes later, the gunner on the battleship St. Vincent gave the order to open fire.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The 305-mm main guns on the battleship “St. Vincent” began to fire fiercely.

One aerial bomb after another, weighing several hundred kilograms, smashed into the land.

The other battleships also began shelling.

For a time, the sound of artillery on the sea was rumbling.

One after another, large-caliber shells smashed hard into the coast.

“Phew! Shout! ”

The shells cut through the air at high speed, and there was a shrill whistling sound.

The Germanic artillerymen on the ground with the army, one by one, their faces changed greatly.

They deal with artillery all day long, naturally they know what this thing is, it is clear that large-caliber naval guns fire again.

“Boom! Rumble! ”

One by one, large-caliber naval guns fell down, emitting a heaven-shattering explosion.

The power of large-caliber naval guns is very huge, and every shell explosion will produce great destructive power. On the ground, one big crater after another was blown out.

Although, the warships of the Royal Navy of the Empire do not set to attack targets on the coast at a long distance, and the accuracy is not high.

However, the firing of dozens of 305-mm naval guns still gave people the feeling of shaking the mountain.

Some of the artillery positions of the Germanic Imperial Army were hit by large-caliber shells, and entire artillery positions were erased.

This made the rest of the artillerymen of the Germanic Imperial Army also frightened enough.

After all, even the most determined soldiers, seeing their comrades being blown up into slag, this is also an extremely heavy blow to their will to fight!

“! The sun does not set and the people use the Navy’s large-caliber naval guns! The commander of the 4th Army, Marshal Hausen, could not help but scold.

“The use of naval guns is the strength of the sun that never sets. The Imperial Expeditionary Force deployed the defense line only a dozen kilometers from the coast, and they were in order to facilitate the support of naval guns. The commander of the 5th Army, Marshal Duke Württemberg, said.

“So what do we do? It can’t be stopped by the guns of the ships that never set in the sun, right? Can’t let these millions of expeditionary forces that never set escape like this, right? In that case, how can we explain to His Majesty the Emperor! The commander of the 7th Army, General Waldzer, looked depressed.

He also expected to be able to make great achievements in this battle so that he could be promoted to marshal.

“What about our train cannons? When will it be able to go to the front? At that time, rely on train guns to deal with the naval guns of the sun that does not set. Even if the train gun can’t deal with the ship gun that does not set the sun, it can directly fire at the defense line of the sun that does not set, causing a greater blow to the sun that does not set, so that we can attack next! General Mavits, commander of the 8th Army, said.

Several other army group commanders nodded in agreement.

“The key is to look at the Imperial Navy! If the Imperial Navy can defeat the Navy that never sets, then everything will be fine! Marshal Hausen sighed.

“If the Imperial Navy really defeats the navy that never sets, then the sun does not set and the man dies. The Imperial Army was even able to launch further attacks on the homeland of the Sun and defeat them in one fell swoop! Marshal Duke Württemberg said.

“If there really is such a day, I must become the first army commander to attack the mainland of the Sun Never Set Empire and attack the Wudu!” General Waldzer said without hesitation.

For the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, the generals of the Germanic Empire have long wanted to conquer it.

If they can attack the mainland of the Sun Never Set Empire and defeat the Sun Never Set Empire, it will definitely be the greatest glory of their lives for these soldiers!

Although all this still seems far away, the generals of the Germanic Empire believe that this day will definitely come.
