Chapter 186

Northern Poland, on the border. In a corner of the long northern defensive position.

"Boom!" A shell landed near the reinforced concrete bunker, raised a piece of gravel, and then gradually subsided, leaving only a wisp of slowly rising smoke. The shell exploded a section of barbed wire, and the broken wire swayed twice, making the seemingly dilapidated position even more lonely.

The weakness of Germany's lack of heavy artillery was finally reflected in the northern defense line of Poland, because the modlin Legion in northern Poland did not leave the frontier fortress defense area, so the P group army of East Prussia has not been able to break through the modlin Legion's defense line from the front until now.

The largest caliber of the German defense forces is 150 mm. This kind of firepower is convenient for the mobility and transportation of troops, but there is no way to take the fortress defense line alone. German artillery did everything they could to break through the thick Polish border.

A Polish veteran looks at the depression in front of the defense line in the gap of the fort fire point. Beside him, a water-cooled Markham heavy machine gun is fixed in the shooting position, with almost no recoil and sufficient ammunition. Behind him, three machine gunners and two auxiliary soldiers curl up in the corner with straw, taking advantage of the intermission of fighting to seize the time to rest.

The German army did not wait for the Polish garrison to give up their position and retreat. They would organize tanks and assault guns to feint attack and retreat after the Polish artillery fire. Although it was very safe, the efficiency of such a trial was very low.

"The Germans are so good at fighting?" Polish veteran whispered in his mouth, put a straw stick into his mouth, chewed and continued to look for the sunshine through the gap of the shooting hole. From time to time, the bombardment made the poles hide in the cement bunker, and the narrow and dark interior of the bunker was a kind of suffering for everyone who yearned for freedom.

"Someone's hurt!" A young voice in the distant trench called out: "come on! Here someone has been hit. "

To be hit by this kind of occasionally fired shell is not to say that the Polish soldier's idea is too bad, but because Germany used the attack to cover its snipers and observers and placed the artillery observation post in a position quite close to the Polish defense line. These good at camouflage and concealment of the German soldiers with radio and a few days of dry food lurking in the corner, as long as the Polish soldiers a little slack, call artillery to attack.

This kind of play made the Polish garrison very uncomfortable. They sent soldiers to repeatedly attack the suspicious places. Although they caused more than ten casualties to the German army, they often paid more than ten times as much as the German army. A few times later, the poles gave up this stupid way of playing and allowed the German soldiers to fight back.

The Polish veteran spat out the straw stick in his mouth, touched the wall, got out of the bunker, and in the reinforced concrete trench, bypassed the soldiers lying on the ground to rest, bent over and walked in the direction of shouting.

When he came to the injured, there was already a medical guard dressing the wounded soldiers. And next to this unfortunate guy lies a more unfortunate guy. The cold corpse's stomach is punctured by shrapnel of the shell, and his intestines are muddled on the cold concrete ground. People have no breath for a long time.

Not far away from here, there was a young soldier with a rifle. He looked at the medical soldiers rescuing his comrades in horror. There was an indescribable depression in his eyes.

"How did these two men get shot?" Polish veteran lying on the edge of the trench, casually asked the young soldiers next to him. He looked at the crater of the shell not far away, where it was still steaming with a smell of scorch.

"They went to relieve themselves together. They thought the toilet was too far away, so they climbed out of the trench and went to squat there to smoke. As a result..." the young soldier spoke with a little shiver, but he answered fluently.

"Don't make such a mistake! Do you understand? " The old soldier drew back his head, looked at the young soldier and said, "the most important thing here is the idiots who are looking for death. They rush to heaven to serve God. If you are not in a hurry, you should not go out of your blockhouse, and you'd better stay in the place with the thickest armor and cement."

"Thank you, thank you..." the young soldier looked at the old soldier and spat out a grateful word.

Just as the two men turned around and prepared to return to their positions, the shrill air defense alarm sounded: "woo!..."

Looking at some small black spots like sesame under the white clouds in the sky, the veteran frowned. Today, he always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he had developed an instinctive fear of dangerous things by joining the army for many years.

This bad premonition made him stand still. He chose a V-shaped trench that could avoid the impact of the explosion. Lying on the slightly cold concrete chest wall, he looked up at the approaching German Air Force bombers.

On the surrounding positions, the antiaircraft guns for air defense began to fire, and the sound of banging artillery fire came. However, because of the number, it seemed that it had little influence on the German planes in the sky. Soon the German bombers flew over the positions of the Polish army.

This is not the first bombing by the German air force. On the contrary, the German Air Force has bombed here several times these days. However, relying on good trench layout and thick blockhouses and dark barricades, the loss of the Polish garrison is not great. Therefore, the bombing by the German Air Force has not played a role in making the Polish Army collapse or retreat.

These Germans are really dead brains. Why do we have to experiment again and again when we know that the strength of the aerial bomb is not enough to cause damage to the reinforced concrete and armored steel fortifications of the Polish garrison just like the shell? Do bombs and shells cost nothing? Just as the Polish veteran was daydreaming, the German Air Force bombers had opened their bomb compartments and were ready to drop their bombs. Because of the slight interference of the antiaircraft guns, the formation of these planes was a little messy, but not so messy as to affect the bombing. A bomb fell from the plane's bomb pod, followed by another bomb began to fall, and then as the rain grew, the bomb began to fall densely, and the first bomb dropped directly hit a high ground with three machine gun blockhouses on the other side of the mountain. As usual, the bomb suddenly burst like a burning liquid, and the air flow generated by the explosion ran around with flames. The fire rose as high as three stories in an instant. The scene of fierce combustion scared the Polish veterans who had been staring at the German plane to drop bombs to make a rhythmic sound. Second different bombs as like as two peas, exploded in another place, and the soldiers around began to stir. Many ran out of the trench and ran towards the open area, but soon they were swallowed up by the same fire. As the German bomber flew over his head, the explosion was soon connected. The Polish veteran suddenly jumped out of the trench and jumped into the big pit just blasted by the German artillery. He took a deep breath, held his breath and curled up with his hands around his head. Then he heard the sound of the explosion, and then he felt the pain of the air wave burning the back of his hand, and then he knew nothing. After a long time, when he thought he was dead, a trace of oxygen poured into his lungs, which made him wake up. The back of his right hand, where it was exposed, was severely burned, and his military coat was blackened. He knew that his right hand must have been abandoned, and his right face was burning with pain. He might have been disfigured, but he was glad that he was still alive, because he saw the charred bodies in the trench behind him. In the distance, a burning burning burning man is still rolling on the ground. The place where you can see from the position is blackened. Most people have died, and a few people are crying hysterically. The defense position of the whole Polish army is like a real version of human purgatory. Unlike previous incendiary bombs, this time Germany dropped a newly developed secret weapon "napalm bomb". This weapon is specially designed to deal with permanent underground fortifications. It can evaporate the oxygen inside the fortifications and burn the people inside. The most important thing is that the fire is not easy to put out. The Polish veteran faltered for a moment, looking at a place with a sea of fire and smoke. He didn't know what to do next. Suddenly, he saw the iron door of a blockhouse pushed open from inside, and a burning young face appeared in front of him. Just now, the young soldier was like a shaking torch, screaming and twisting, struggling in the trench, Finally, it fell to the ground and turned into burning black carbon. All this happened in just a few minutes... Suddenly, a shot rang out. The Polish veteran saw his chest being shot through the back. He struggled to look back and found that a German sniper with a gun was firing a second shot at him 100 meters away. Soon, the bullet went through his throat, He suddenly felt that the wounds on his right hand and face were no longer burning“ Long live the Fuehrer! General Catherine An air force officer knocked on the door and walked into Katherine's office: "the news just came from the front line that the pilots of the 4th bomber wing had dropped napalm bombs on the permanent defense position of the Polish modlin Corps in northern Poland."“ What's the result? " Catherine was looking behind her back at his air force attack plan, and then she looked back“ The results are quite impressive, and the actual combat has proved that this weapon has a strong destruction effect on ordinary underground bunkers. " The officer was very proud to reply: "the proposal given by the front-line forces is to increase the production of such bombs, which can be used on a large scale when attacking enemy fortifications and cities."“ Send a report to the head of state. " Katherine nodded. "Just send it up as suggested."
