Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 47 Three 150-meter heavy artillery, two three-bald vehicles, you tell me this is company-level firepower?
The three bald men and the half-track self-propelled artillery followed the scouts into the village.

William was also informed that two three-balds and three half-track self-propelled artillery would be sent here for testing.

These are equipment from the Thor Arsenal and have not actually been purchased by the German army.

But who said William is the boss behind the scenes? If you want to use it, why not just send it to the front line?

You can really do obscene things if you have money!

After the three half-track self-propelled artillery arrived in the village, William immediately ordered them to start setting up.

Because there is still a company of British troops waiting outside.

So we have to give them a taste.

Six gunners jumped off the half-track self-propelled gun and then pulled out a steel plate and threw it on the ground.

Then adjust the hydraulic device, and the base of the hydraulic device is supported on the steel plate on the ground.

After the six people quickly fixed the hydraulic device, they began to adjust the angle of the gun and load the shells.

A 150mm high-explosive bomb weighs about 30 kilograms, and the explosive charge inside alone is five kilograms.

This is five kilograms of high explosives!

This power can lift even tanks, let alone infantry without any protection.

boom!
There was a loud noise, followed by the low-pressure dull roar.

A huge crater was opened in the British position outside the village.

Just this one shell can destroy a meter thick concrete wall.

This power is enough to make infantrymen tremble with fear.

"Not bad!"

William nodded with satisfaction as he climbed up the church bell tower.

Suddenly, multiple black spots appeared in the distance. If you look carefully, isn't this an airplane?
William put down the telescope and immediately shook the bell twice.

"Air attack! Pay attention to dodge!"

This was really unlucky. Just as it was done, there was an air raid.

The plane coming from the northwest was definitely not a German plane.

As William shouted, everyone moved quickly.

The six artillerymen immediately put away the hydraulic support frame, and the driver drove the vehicle into a room and directly smashed through the wall to hide inside.

shhhhhh!
Multiple aerial bombs fell from the sky and caused considerable casualties.

The two No. [-] assault guns could only be activated and evaded.

After a burst of air raids, there was basically no good place left in the entire village.

Even the church was mostly destroyed by the bombing and could no longer be used.

But soon I received a new mission.

Seize the important Belgian town of Ubar area.

Two British infantry regiments are stationed in the Ubar area.

In addition, with the English Channel at its back, air support can be available at any time.

William's 985th regiment is currently heading to the area.

After receiving the order, William did not delay and immediately prepared to go, and the place was handed over to the subsequent German troops.

……

In the city hall of Ubar City, British Brigadier General Nelson looked at the sand table in front of him with a solemn expression.

After some deductions, the conclusions drawn are not very good.
"You all tell us your opinions. The German 985th Regiment is a front-line elite group, and we have no advantage against them!"

Brigadier General Nelson also had a headache after reading the data of the 985th Regiment.

The 985th Regiment is an elite group that has participated in the entire Polish campaign, and several of its companies have even more powerful combat capabilities.

Take a company as an example. Relying on the strength of a company to defeat a British battalion is not a big problem.

The key is that the 985th Regiment has a total strength of 12 companies.

The first company was transferred from Milesti Village and can be said to be the most powerful company of the 985th Regiment.

The firepower configuration can be called luxurious. The currently known firepower includes multiple mortars, and there are no less than two medium-caliber 80mm mortars. There are currently four known 13.8mm heavy machine guns, and the number of multiple rocket launchers is currently unknown.

This is just intelligence obtained by the British army from the front line.

In fact, there are two No. 150 assault guns and three [-]mm self-propelled artillery!

Let alone beating you with one battalion, two battalions together are enough.

As an expeditionary force this time, the British army carried light artillery, so they had no power to parry when facing the 150mm heavy infantry cannon.

Unless air support is called.

Otherwise, the German army can achieve good results by relying on some of its advantages.

"General, I think we need to make full use of these terrains and start to deploy defenses in these places with small groups of troops to stop the German army from advancing. This will buy us more time for our reinforcements and supplies. Once we are in position, we can engage in a decisive battle with the German army, directly launch an encirclement from the east and west wings, and strangle the German army here!"

Colonel Masendi was talking proudly on the terrain map.

British Brigadier General Nelson looked at the opponent with a confused expression and was thinking.

How much fake wine did you drink to be able to say such a thing?Thank God if you can save this place. If you really follow your arrangement, the German army will probably rush in directly.

There is no way who can ask someone to tell someone that his good father is a British knight.

I could only hold back my temper and talk to him, "Colonel Masendi, do you know what arm series the 985th Regiment of the German Army belongs to?"

"I heard it's mechanization, but what kind of mechanization can there be in Germany? A few trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles dare to call it mechanization. It's really a joke."

British Colonel Masendi said disdainfully.

"Colonel, I have to remind you that the German army already has tanks! And there are quite a few of them!"

Another British Locust Infantry Regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Bacon, couldn't help but remind him.

"Tanks? There are quite a few? Can some of the outdated tanks from World War I be as advanced as the tanks of our Great Empire? Don't I understand? Lieutenant Colonel! I don't need you to remind me."

The other party glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Backkom with an unhappy look on his face and said.

The meaning is obvious, you, a lieutenant colonel, are you pretending to be a green onion in front of me, a colonel?

The brigadier general just said a few words, what kind of onion are you that you come here to apply eye drops in front of me?
Lieutenant Colonel Backkom looked helplessly at Brigadier General Nelson.

I hope Brigadier General Nelson will scold Colonel Massendi for being so contemptuous of the German army, and the Germans will suffer big losses later.

Originally, the two Locust infantry regiments might be able to hold on if they fought well. If you pretend to be serious and are severely damaged by the Germans, then it will be difficult for your own infantry regiment to support you.

"Okay Masendi, you two are both the commanders of the Locust Family Infantry Regiment. I hope you can cooperate well instead of arguing here. I don't want our troops to be unable to hold on for even a week!"

As Brigadier Nelson stopped them, both of them fell silent.

"General, the German troops have been spotted in the suburbs, like the 985st Company of the [-]th Regiment of the German Army."

Captain Jason rushed in from outside and reported the situation.

"What? How did it come so fast?"

Brigadier General Nelson was shocked when William's troops arrived on the outskirts of Ubar.

In his expectation, the German troops would not arrive until at least around noon tomorrow.

It's just a pity that they don't understand the mission of the German mechanized troops.

Blitzkrieg is all about flashing.

How can procrastination be called a blitzkrieg?
It means taking the enemy by surprise and directly inflicting a heavy blow on the opponent.

Before the British army made adjustments and deployments, they heard the sound of explosions in the distance.

jump!jump!jump!
After three violent explosions, billowing smoke rose into the sky.

"This is a heavy artillery!"

"Where did his company get the heavy artillery?"

"Who knows!"

Whoosh whoosh!Whoosh whoosh!
"Oh, I bought it! Those are rockets! Is this the firepower of a company?"

Colonel Masendi looked at what he saw in front of him in shock, it was beyond his expectation.

With only the firepower of one company, what he saw so far was at least three 150mm heavy artillery.

There is also a launcher for six rockets in an instant!
Even a battalion of the British army does not have such good firepower.
