Chapter 275： Enter the Sudetenland

March!

Leopard tanks, with a high 75 mm barrel, are at the forefront of the entire army. As the most important first armored division, their equipment will always be the most advanced.

Just as the Leopard 3 tank was undergoing final testing, part of the pre-production models were handed over to the First Armored Division for evaluation. If there are no technical failures, they will be finalized and then mass-produced.

As the ace tanker on the Spanish battlefield last time, Wittmann has been assigned a newest tank. Now, sitting in this tank, he is extremely excited.

This is already a 40-ton tank! Although in order to avoid external concerns, the specific performance of this tank is kept secret, but just looking at the 75mm long barrel, you know that the tank's performance is absolutely good.

Compared with the gun barrel, Wittmann is more assured that the armor protection, the extra weight, almost all increased to the protection, making this tank the most powerful tank in this era!

No tank or anti-tank gun can penetrate it from the front! This is strength!

When the tank is penetrated, the people inside are easy to die. A tank with strong protection can give tankers the greatest confidence.

Behind, the 630-horsepower diesel engine is roaring, continuously outputting power, allowing this tank to walk on the ground.

In front of them is the Erzgebirge Mountains in the Sudetenland. On their side is the winding Elbe River. This is a major river in Central Europe. Two thirds of the upper reaches are in the Czech Republic and one third of the lower reaches. In Germany, the convergence became a plain, but now looking over, you can see that the rivers among the lofty mountains are so fresh and natural.

On the mountain, there are lush trees, and among the trees, there are fortifications.

Opposite is the Czech Republic! The Czechs have been building defense lines for all these years. Now, when tanks enter the mountains, they will face the threat of those fortifications!

How to deal with those fortifications?

Of course it is Stuka!

Now, they are dispatched first, and in the air base in the rear, the Stuka bomber is also ready to set off. When they cross the border, the Stuka bomber will fly right there. If the fortifications over there dare to open fire, They will immediately switch to the storm!

The Stuka bomber dropped bombs precisely and dropped them on the fortifications, while the armored regiments here bombarded with fierce artillery fire, covering the infantry behind to occupy the position!

It's such a routine.

But, Czechs, do you dare to do it?

Humph, they absolutely dare not!

Just like marching to Austria, Wittmann did not get back into the tank. Half of his body was still exposed outside. He had headphones on his ears, which was very handsome.

This kind of field of vision is very good. He used a telescope to observe the fortifications in front. Up to now, there has been no movement.

The engine was roaring, the tracks were crushing the ground, and the Panther tank finally crushed the mark of the national border and entered the Sudetenland!

Wait, what's that? At this moment, Wittmann saw the top of the mountain in the distance, and there seemed to be heads popping up!

Is it a Czech? Prepare for battle! After many battles, Wittmann is already the most keen-thinking one on the battlefield, and his car group is also the most experienced.

However, the current situation is not good.

The main role of tanks is to conquer enemy formations, not air defense. Therefore, the elevation angle of tank guns is not high. If you want to deal with the fortifications on the top of the mountain, self-propelled artillery should be more effective.

"They are cheering to us, that is our compatriot!" After a while, Wittmann finally saw it clearly.

The Germanic compatriots in the Sudetenland are welcoming them! Wittmann pulled off his headphones and he could hear the other person cheering in German!

This is a great moment!

The Germans who have lived here for generations have been bullied by the Czechs for the past two decades! Every day, they hope their compatriots will rescue them. And now, this opportunity has finally arrived!

Welcome your compatriots!

"My fellow citizens, we are back! In this world, no one will bully our Germanic compatriots!" Wittmann picked up a loudspeaker and shouted to the distant crowd.

"The Munich Treaty has been signed, and the entire Sudetenland will return to the Empire!"

Countless people are chanting, at this moment, their incomparable happiness, the German Third Reich is a powerful country that will protect every German!

And in those fortifications, there was no movement at all!

When Wittmann's tank drove to the side of the fortifications, he discovered that the fortifications here had been abandoned. No one was stationed here. The Czechs had already evacuated here last night!

The march goes well!

………

"Our country is really troubled and troubled."

Benes, in his fifties, is in the golden age of a politician, but in the past two days, his eyes have lost their former glory and become extremely hollow.

His short hair, originally black, has now become white, and his whole person looks extremely haggard.

After declining Stalin's kindness, Benes knew that the Czech Republic had fallen.

The Sudetenland is full of mountainous areas and is a natural barrier for the Czech Republic. Without these barriers, what will the Czech army use to resist the German armored forces?

But how could Hitler only satisfy the Sudetenland?

But the Czech Republic cannot object. Britain and France have already sold the Czech Republic, but the Czech Republic has to accept this status quo. Although the Czech army has combat effectiveness, the Czech Republic cannot afford this responsibility. When war is triggered, all Europe will curse the Czech Republic and isolate the Czech Republic!

"The Sudetenland was lost from my hands. I am ashamed of this country." After receiving the news that the German army has entered the Sudetenland, Benes finally said these words: "I decided to resign."

Benes has tried his best. He even carried out a general mobilization for war. When Germany invaded, they would take up their own weapons, but Britain and France betrayed them, and Benes finally gave in.

He is an incompetent country president, he has no face to face this country!

"President, you are the only remaining founding father. At this time, the Czech Republic can't leave you." The assistant hurriedly said.

Benes is the pillar of the Czech Republic. He is going to resign. Who can lead this country?

Benes shook his head, he was determined to go.
