Chapter 154

In fact, Germany's Ziegfeld defense line does not exist completely in the drawing. There is a part of it that does exist - although this part is very, very small.

But it does exist, and it looks majestic. Germany did build a high standard fortress on the top of a mountain near the German French border. The reinforced concrete was five meters thick, with machine gun shooting positions and blockhouses, bunkers equipped with cannons, and endless barbed wire.

What's more frightening is that the high ground of the fortress is connected with the railway tracks, and two rotatable fortress cannons are laid. These two terrible cannons are protected by 350 mm armor plate, and the caliber is up to 381 mm.

The reason why we chose to build such an almost useless defense line here is not because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because of its unique geographical conditions. On the one hand, it is close to the big forest filled with white fog, which makes people unable to see how long the line of defense in the past is. On the other hand, it is a higher mountain with many strange stones, and you can't see another position above.

At this point, I think we all understand that this is actually similar to the set shed of Bayi studio. It's all props used to make a real show. However, when akado accompanied Smith and the French military attache in Germany to visit here, the layout was still shocking.

When Smith looked at the yellow warning sign with skeleton and minefield not far from the place where he got off, they really felt the breath of war. Several people along with the German * officer and several civil servants walked forward carefully, listening to the German * officer boasting of the impregnability of the fortification to the head of state.

"My head of state." Colonel Frederick is the commander of the 7th infantry division of the national defense forces. His troops are responsible for the defense of this section of the border, so they naturally become the actors here: "once the enemy attacks, we can deploy 400 fully armed soldiers in front of us, and they can repel any offensive of the other side."

He pointed to all the reinforced concrete trenches under akado's feet, as well as the reserved hidden machine gun bunkers. He also pointed to the triangular anti tank piles welded together not far away. He said: "the anti tank guns deployed in the fortress anti tank gun positions can easily repel the enemy's tanks. The infantry will be taken out by machine guns. "

These are all small fights. The two majestic 381 mm caliber fortress guns at the top of the fortress are the real concerns of the magistrates. With these two super cannons, how much will the French attack pay? as one can imagine.

Smith came up to acardo and said, "Dear Fuehrer, the Ziegfeld line has always been a line of defense that Germany is proud of. You take it out today, not just to frighten France, right?"

"The Ziegfeld line is just a shield for Germany. There is nothing to show off!" Acardo said with a smile in a quiet voice, which could be heard by the magistrate behind him: "in fact, it is precisely because we have new weapons that can destroy the fort Kerch, which is stronger than the French Maginot defense line, that we dare to show off our defense line so blatantly."

The magistrate sneered and interrupted akado's show off: "it's impossible! Mr. Fuehrer. China's magino defense line is impossible to be conquered! It's the strongest super defense in the world! "

"Oh? Is that right? " Friedrich looked very disdainful, sneered, and his face was full of disdain.

Seeing Frederick's disdain on his face, the magistrates were even more angry. Akado took a look at Colonel Smith, pointed to the front and said, "come on, let's see what kind of weapons we have."

They hurriedly finished their visit to the fortress and rushed to the railway line behind the fortress. As soon as they got off the bus, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. They swore that for the first time in their lives, they saw such a huge land war machine. On the super large carriage as high as three stories, a gun tube like a giant chimney pointed directly into the sky, and a whole battalion of soldiers were busy in all positions.

Frederick looked back and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. His troops are real infantry divisions. Let alone operate such a fake cannon, it's God's blessing to give them a real cannon that can be fired.

Akkado doesn't think so, but he and Krupp confirmed for a long time, and then drew up such a deception plan. In fact, the whole cannon is just a detachable coat, inside which is a Krupp factory's 1919 collection of Bali cannon with a fixed protective ring on the barrel.

This cannon is really a weapon that Krupp hid to prepare for the future counter offensive, but it is not as powerful as the outsiders' legend. Instead of erecting the cannon and building bricks to camouflage it as a chimney, he left it there and then painted it with a layer of khaki paint. He bribed the prosecutors to say that it was a scrapped barrel.

Since there is a real cannon hidden in it, this super powerful cannon can really be fired. Moreover, akkado and Krupp do not intend to let it really shoot shells. They just use gun propellant to make the fake cannon roar and spray gun muzzle propellant. As for the sound of firing is recognized by experts as a Paris cannon, it does not need to be considered, because the coat of the whole cannon is like a hollow clock, and the sound must be louder and more pleasing.

"My God! What kind of cannon is this Smith was shocked by what he saw. It seems that the length of the chimney is a little too exaggerated. It is several meters longer than the barrel of the Paris cannon he saw in the Krupp factory. The caliber... Caliber is something he has never heard of“ This weapon has just been produced and is still in the experimental stage, but it can destroy fortifications more than ten meters underground. " Akkado pointed to the train gun in the distance. Only he and Krupp knew that the upper half of the control lever could not move, while the other half of the control lever and the knob that the soldiers were crazy to shake were simply screwed on the iron pipe with a screw“ Today we will see with our own eyes the most powerful artillery in human history test firing. I hope the weapons of our Krupp factory can bring peace to the world and contribute to Europe's defense against the invasion of * Akado continued with a smile“ I think it's at least 600mm A judge sighed at the back. Frederick stood up at the right time and said with pride: "Dora, the king of guns, is a 800 mm cannon, which can shoot more than a ton of shells for dozens of kilometers." At this time, a IDF artillery soldier came over with a tray, which was used to plug his ears. Acardo picked up a pair with a smile, then turned to Smith and said, "this weapon has many shortcomings, such as too loud. So we have to make some special preparations, or you'll suffer for weeks. " Smith, of course, won't embarrass his ears. He takes earplugs with him, and then smiles at acardo to indicate that he can't hear him. Acardo also takes earplugs: This cannon is not so loud. Four professional special effects engineers are invited from Berlin film production company. It's definitely a very real super experience. Of course, there is no waste in such a grand scene. There are four cameras recording this precious shooting scene, which will be used in the military propaganda film imperial cannon. This is a huge war movie, starred by popular male and female stars. The female owner is Ingrid? Bergman, even akado was shocked by the military's arrangement when the recycling cost was so high. As a matter of fact, the national defense forces have used so many ways, and they are not worried that these people will leak secrets. Because the cannons do exist, and what they say to these photographers and stunt teams is to increase the momentum and effect of firing. Therefore, even if someone publicizes that the cannons are fake, it is impossible for people to believe them. After everyone was ready, with the command, the busy "artillery" began to gather, ran away from the launch position, and the alarm reverberated in the sky, all of which paved the way for the launch of this giant gun. After a short wait, the cannons finally opened fire, black smoke spewed out of the cannons, and the whole launching position was shaking. Even the dust and gravel were shaken off the ground. The Fuehrer and others who were originally located in the visiting area 200 meters away were also covered by the huge airflow. The biggest gun developed since the birth of human civilization roared, and the black smoke at the muzzle remained for a long time. Everyone was shocked by the momentum of this weapon, and no one spoke in the whole area for a long time. I really want to build such a real guy! Sure enough, no matter who looks at it and launches a shot, he will be conquered by this kind of domineering spirit immediately. Acardo looked at the distant train gun and clapped his hands. This is a kind of memorial ceremony. This kind of weapon will not appear again in this time and space. It is a memorial ceremony for the premature death of the pursuit of the ultimate spirit of human civilization. Akkado is very glad that his soul is resistant to this kind of weapon, otherwise just watching such a roar will immediately become the brain powder of this weapon - as long as you have seen this thing launched, you will have an impulse to believe that the enemy will surrender immediately. Frederick clapped his hands. He was in charge of the mission. Now everything is going well. He finally let go of his nervousness and nodded to the adjutant beside him. The adjutant immediately understood and waved to the distance. In the distance, there was an order. Soldiers with gas masks lined up to run to the artillery and began to "clean up" the firing position. Acardo took off his earplug and turned back to Colonel Smith in a loud voice Smith also had the earplug in the palm of his hand, nodded and replied loudly: "it's a good weapon."
