The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

"Concentrate your firepower! Destroy those two large ships."

Although Germany obtained relevant information about the Liaoning from Japan, the content of this information was too exaggerated and contained many adjectives, such as "ghost battleship", "unsinkable", "self-repairing" and so on. How to say it, science fiction works during World War II were not so imaginative. Through these descriptions, Germany felt that this kind of battleship only existed in the fantasy world where the Japanese Navy found excuses for itself after its defeat, and it definitely did not exist on the real battlefield.

We have seen American warships before. Can the Volunteer Army surpass Earth's technology?

We are talking about war, which is a serious and realistic issue. Don't substitute your imagination for reality.

But it doesn't matter. Reality will beat anyone who doesn't accept it. As the Liaoning and Jilin moved forward, the German High Seas Fleet felt a nightmare it had never experienced before.

Their shells rained down like raindrops, quickly drowning the Liaoning and Jilin, but no matter how many times they hit the two warships, the enemy could still respond with terrifying artillery fire, constantly tearing apart and destroying one warship after another.

In this world, the heavy cruiser Blücher, which had no "secret confidence", was hit in the middle of the hull by a 500mm caliber shell, broke into two sections on the spot, and completely disappeared from the sea in less than a minute.

The Hindenburg was hit in the ammunition depot and suffered the same fate as the Hood. The turret was lifted off the spot. The fire was so fierce that damage control was unable to do anything. It eventually spread to the power room, and then it was hit again by the Jilin in the middle of the hull, and eventually capsized and sank.

As the battle entered the afternoon, the German fleet completely lost the courage to resist.

"That's not a warship that humans can handle!"

The commander of the German High Seas Fleet let out a heart-wrenching cry, and then made the same decision as his predecessor, breaking out at night under the cover of smoke.

But what they didn't expect was that the night was no longer a cover for their escape.

The volunteer fleet equipped with a field tactical system launched a deadly attack on the German High Seas Fleet at night.

Go ahead, Silkworm, it’s decided to be you!

Trivia: Silkworm is the Western name for it; its real name is "Sea Eagle-2".

The imitation of the Soviet SSN-2 Styx anti-ship missile is called the Silkworm because of its short and thick body.

This weapon, equipped by the Soviet army in 1960, was absolute black technology in 1945. Although it had problems such as poor anti-interference ability and could only fly at subsonic speeds, you have to look at who it was facing. At that time, countries around the world had no effective missile interference methods, and radar interference was still at the stage of spreading aluminum foil.

The emergence of anti-ship missiles itself means that the order of traditional naval warfare has been completely overturned.

From this moment on, the small boat also had the firepower to threaten the battleship.

Since it was impossible for the US military to observe the specific results of the battle at night, the relevant battle reports were written by the volunteers themselves. The only thing that can be confirmed is that after that night, only one German destroyer dragged its scarred body aground on the western coastline of France. An hour later, the whole world knew that the German High Seas Fleet was completely destroyed overnight.

Shocked the world.

Chapter 287: Missile Roar

(First update! Please comment, comrades)

Even fifty years from now, mankind will remember the night that changed naval warfare.

If the sister ship of Liaoning, which drove anti-aircraft guns to chase German planes during daytime battles, was already the chief designer in the abstract world, then the appearance of Haiying-2 was undoubtedly the beginning of a new era and redefined naval warfare.

The leap here is to an imaginary era, because the Soviet Union's Styx SSN-2 anti-ship missile was already a very mature anti-ship missile under the technological level at the time. However, it appeared in 1945, when aircraft carrier technology had barely developed to the point where propeller fighters could take off and land freely. The main anti-ship means were still bombs and torpedoes, as well as traditional artillery shells.

In the era of big ships and big guns, the size of a warship represents its combat effectiveness. Like a tank, it is a combination of firepower, protection, and maneuverability. All countries are adding and subtracting within a prescribed framework.

But anti-ship missiles are like when everyone is studying how to fire a flintlock rifle efficiently, someone takes out a Browning 1911.

The German High Seas Fleet lost with great honor, because they died at the turning point of the transition from the old era to the new era. Whether they won or lost, it was enough to be recorded in history and become a subject of study for countless military historians in later generations.

But for the Germans at this time, this was a bolt from the blue. Their pride was destroyed once again, and it was even more miserable than last time. They were completely wiped out in a physical sense.

There must be someone responsible for such a tragic defeat, but no matter how Germany searches for responsibility, a cruel reality lies before them - the Allied forces are about to land.

There is no hope for naval power, and anti-landing operations are the only line of defense.

Once the Allied forces formed a pincer attack from the east and west, Germany would be completely hopeless.

But there is more bad news. Don't forget the volunteer troops who have already broken into the country. They are attacking Munich, a city that is remembered in the history of World War II.

The world outside is bad, but the situation at home is even worse. Hungary and Austria have publicly stated their neutrality and have actually withdrawn from the Axis powers, looking aggrieved, as if "Germany forced me to join before."

The only good news is that these two countries did not declare war on Germany. They did so out of respect for the once defunct Austro-Hungarian Empire and did not cause trouble for their German brothers.

Now both the Volunteer Army and the German Army are increasing their efforts in Munich. Both sides are ready to turn the beer mecca into Stalingrad. The only difference is that the Soviet Union in this world does not have the Battle of Stalingrad, but Germany is going to fight the Battle of Munich.

Germany's invasion and defense of its homeland can be regarded as a replica of India's future treatment to a certain extent. It refers to the original historical India. Whether the India of this world is still India or not is a matter of opinion.

For the German troops and volunteers in Munich, this place has become hell, but the volunteers have no mental pressure at all. It would be great if they could defeat the main force of the German army in this city, destroy their confidence and speed up the end of World War II.

The Volunteer Army called the Battle of Munich: The Decisive Battle - The Battle of Munich.

The German side called it: The Battle of Munich or the German Patriotic War.

What is against Tiangang?

Of course, words and slogans are arranged and combined according to actual needs, so it is not surprising that similar historical terms that cause people to complain appear.

Industrially developed Germany turned its cities into steel jungles, and the German army, which had reduced its strength, concentrated a huge army of more than one million here, relying on the local industrial chain to obtain supplies nearby. At this time, the German people still strongly supported the Nazi government. The evidence was the German militia in Munich. Almost all young people in the city participated, regardless of gender.

Then why didn't the Allies encounter such great obstacles when they attacked Germany during World War II?

Because Germany's elite troops were almost completely lost at that time, and there were very few manpower left. Many armies only existed on the map, but had actually collapsed long ago. The process of being pushed back to the homeland bit by bit also made the German people gradually lose confidence.

But the current situation is that the volunteer army rushed too fast, and even if it fails, ordinary people will have to gradually accept it.

In boxing, the person who is knocked unconscious right away is likely to be unconvinced, feeling that their opponent has taken advantage of them and that they still have the strength to fight back, so why should they surrender? However, if during the fight, their opponent lets them do whatever they want and ultimately sees with their own eyes how powerful the force was that crushed them to defeat, then anyone with a normal IQ will honestly admit defeat.

The mentality of the German people needs such a transformation, and Munich is a very good demonstration point.

It's a pity for this beer city. It was completely submerged by artillery shells from both sides on the first day of the war. Then the volunteers who broke in directly started the house-demolition mode. No matter who the defenders were, they just had to bring out their assault tigers!

Now the Volunteer Army really has its own Sturmtiger, and it is quite specialized in street fighting. Its top speed is only a pitiful 20 kilometers per hour, but it is equipped with a special 300mm rocket launcher with an effective range of less than 5 kilometers, and its maximum range can only shoot in an arc trajectory. It has no accuracy at all, but it is really useful for destroying houses at close range.

Players have used the first generation of composite armor and explosive reactive armor on their own Sturm und Tank. With the power of current armor-piercing and fragmentation shells, they cannot penetrate any surface of the Sturm und Tank except the chassis. Including the top, the entire Sturm und Tank is wrapped in grille armor and even has a roof. Although it does not look as handsome as a main battle tank, the German army is really at a loss when facing such a thing.

The current record is that a Sturmtiger was hit 57 times by various German Panzerfausts and remained unharmed.

However, this Sturmtiger also has a big problem, that is, it can only move on wide streets. Although it can run over ruins, its shooting state is difficult to guarantee, and its relatively fragile chassis will be exposed. Therefore, after the Sturmtiger starts street fighting, the rear guard must be followed by infantry. It is best to control the nearby commanding heights and use it in conjunction with self-propelled anti-aircraft guns for better results.

In a street fighting environment, there are very few shelters that can withstand the combined fire of 30mm and 37mm machine guns.

But what the German army feared most was not these big guys, but the lone wolves of the volunteer army who appeared and disappeared like ghosts.

Lone wolf players come uninvited, and the battlefield is our search-and-rescue game.

Players fighting in groups on the front battlefield need to have tacit coordination of equipment, so they act in a group, are relatively large targets, and are easier to be discovered. However, lone wolf players are truly alone, and you never know where they will appear or how they will perform the mission. Only players can determine the location of lone wolf players and then bypass them.

That place has become someone else's hunting spot. As long as the other party can complete the task within the specified time, nothing else matters.

Then many German snipers were caught up by lone wolf players from behind. It depended on their mood at the time whether they would be killed by slitting their necks or breaking their heads. They might also be torn apart by hand.

If a German army can successfully counterattack, the lone wolf player will definitely be happy; keep an eye on the opponent, and if you are lucky, knock them out and take them as prisoners. If you are unlucky, they will bury explosives directly under your building, and you and your fortifications will go to heaven!

In addition to the lone wolf players, the second place is the heavy armor players. They are the assault soldiers in the volunteer army. They are covered with heavy armor and hold heavy shields. If you angle this thing, it can even make the German anti-tank guns ricochet. You can imagine how outrageous the mass and weight are. German snipers and other ordinary soldiers will definitely not be able to beat them.

The standard weapons for heavy armored players are now 30mm multi-purpose shotguns, which can fire a variety of ammunition, including armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, and even special grenades. There are special design ports on the shields, which look like boarding shields, and multiple shields can form temporary fortifications. Within a hundred meters, these heavy armored players can easily tear any enemy to pieces.

The worst way to die is to be killed by a shield. That wall of meat paste is simply degraded.

However, the players carefully controlled the rhythm and did not rush in to defeat the enemy directly. Instead, they allowed the German army to continue to pour into Munich, fully feeling the despair, and then released those who had mental breakdowns. They would bring back the fear of the volunteers and would no longer be able to serve Nazi Germany, becoming a burden that the German army could not handle.

If the German army chose to kill them all, that would be better, as the German morale would drop faster.

"This way, follow me!"

On the streets of Munich, a heavily armored Reichstag soldier holding a shield violently smashed through the wall next to him. His teammates behind him followed him and rushed in. After a burst of dense gunfire, the German troops inside fell silent.

Does it look familiar?

Things like this happen every minute and every second.

If the German army wanted to refuse such a fate, they had only one choice: to become prisoners of war of the Volunteer Army.

Under normal circumstances, street fighting is a complex physical structure, and the combat range is very three-dimensional. There will always be a place where temporary safety can be ensured, but the players' extraordinary physique has changed the rules of the battlefield. They may break out from walls, the ground, the ceiling, and even load-bearing walls, charging with heavy shields, with a bunch of automatic firepower behind them. Since the breakthrough direction is uncertain, the German soldiers dare not approach any wall, because if they are not careful, they will become one with the wall.

Astartes stuck on the wall that failed to board in the 2K era (sure).

In addition to these unreasonable tactical advantages, the Volunteer Army also had a very reasonable tactical plan, which was to divide the entire city into areas, and then block them one by one. After determining which area to take, they would completely isolate it and clear out an open space around it, so that the enemy's reinforcements would become a tough battle.

As long as the operation is proper, you can play this game of siege and attack. However, in order to prevent the German army from quickly exiting the game, players will automatically give up some areas, making the entire Munich appear to be under the illusion that the German army always dynamically controls two-thirds of the city.

What the German command saw at this time was: as long as they made a little more effort, they could drive out the volunteers, Olay!

But the German soldiers on the hellish front realized that they were being treated like dogs by the volunteers. The front line did look favorable to the German army, but the horrific casualty figures were eroding the German morale.

It's not that they didn't try to break through from other directions, but the armored strength and air superiority that the German army was proud of were gone, and they were completely suppressed by the volunteers. The volunteers even had a tank crew with four-digit kills.

There are no filler armored vehicles here, they are all real tanks, but some of the tanks are the small ones that the Japanese used in the Battle of Shanghai. But this also shows that they are veteran tank crews.

Experience value +100%, each person comes with five fully maxed skills.

Today's volunteer army, whether they are players or NPC commanders and fighters, are all terrifyingly strong. Coupled with the fully upgraded weapons and equipment, the German army has really tried its best. At least now they can still suppress the US and Soviet armies, and they are at the TO level among normal armies.

However, the German army was not completely without the ability to counterattack. Explosions were heard from time to time on the Volunteer Army’s positions, but they were not the work of airplanes or artillery, but of German missiles.

V-1 cruise missile and V-2 ballistic missile.

The former is considered the ancestor of cruise missiles, and the latter is the ancestor of ballistic missiles.

At that time, German missile technology was also very immature. The V-1 was not fast and could be caught up and shot down by propeller fighters. Although the V-2 could not be intercepted, its attack accuracy was completely random and could only target city-sized targets.

This accuracy is similar to that of the Paris Cannon during World War I, but historically, the V-2 missile could cover London.

Everyone knew that World War II was coming to an end, but a new era had just begun.

Chapter 288: Double attack, the outcome is decided

(Second update! Where is the barrage support from comrades?)

South of Munich, Volunteer Army front line

After a loud bang, an area was completely wiped out. It was a German V-2 missile attack.

However, the volunteers next to them did not react at all and continued to do what they were supposed to do. At most, when someone complained in the player group, "I won the lottery," everyone would show up and make a joke.

"Fuck! I'm a lucky spectator of V-2, feed me peanuts!"

"Feed, feed, feed a lot already."

"If you're lucky, you can buy a lottery ticket. Whether you win or not is another matter."

"Haven't we already developed the Scud? Let's charge towards Berlin."

"What if we scare the Germans away? Don't you see that there are already quite a few German soldiers on the front line? Let them see some hope, don't just come and slam them against the wall with two bastards."

"I think the German soldiers on the front line have been taught a lesson. Even if we capture and release them all now, they won't have the courage to continue fighting us."

"World War II is about to end. When will the Japanese start their attack?"

"It's already being planned, right now."

"Remember to call me when you start."

"That's right, we must not miss the opportunity to beat up the Japs!"

"What about the chances of Berlin planting a flag?"

"Of course I want them all!"

Players can indeed face danger with optimism, because victory is not far away, but the Soviet army, which is beaten by German missiles every day, is full of anger. The volunteers have swords but don't use them, and the Soviet army has no swords to use. Facing the incoming missiles, they can only say "You have a mace, and I have a skull."

Compared with the damage in previous battles, the damage caused by the missiles was not great for the Soviet army. The problem was that it was very frustrating to be beaten without being able to fight back. Anyone would complain.

Originally this would have been nothing, but a Soviet journalist on the Volunteer Army side wrote a report at this time, titled "Iron Army, Steel Soldiers."

There is a sentence in the report:

"German missiles bombarded the positions of the Volunteer Army every day, but the Volunteer Army simply silently removed the victims and continued to attack. Their silence was more deafening than the German missiles. If steel can be used to describe the spirit of an army, then the Volunteer Army is undoubtedly steel with will."

The above content was just the Soviet journalist's personal thoughts, but it sparked a "discussion on iron will" in the Soviet army.

The key point of this matter is not how the volunteers did it, but that everyone believed that the volunteers could do it.

All the powerful armies in the world respect the strong and learn from the strong. The Soviet army is no exception. Having been severely beaten by the Volunteer Army, they respect the Volunteer Army more than anyone else in the world (Japanese army: Me too). At the moment, they do not expect to defeat the Volunteer Army, but they are still very willing to learn from the Volunteer Army. If they cannot learn the inside, they will first imitate the surface.

As a result, the complaints within the Soviet army about the missile attacks quickly disappeared without a trace. The Soviet soldiers all recognized the iron spirit of the volunteers and believed that they needed to study this spirit seriously and hard.

Then the Soviet learning virus began to spread, and the US military also started similar projects. Although they were verbally training "better soldiers", they were actually learning from the volunteers. They were really envious of the volunteers' combat effectiveness and ideological awareness, but they did not dare to accept them all, so they could only learn selectively.

Later, this thing was even exported and imported, and the People's Red Army of Xinhua also began to learn it. Only the Volunteer Army did not know where this training subject of iron will came from.

How does the saying go? When you are powerful enough, even if you fart, someone will analyze the ingredients to see if they are beneficial to humans.

Just as the Battle of Munich was in full swing, on June 6, 1945, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the American Army jointly launched the Normandy Landing.

Compared with the Normandy Landing in history, this "longest day" was really not that long, because the main force of the German army was forced to defend the homeland, and fought a life-and-death battle with the Fifth and Sixth Column of the Volunteer Army in Munich, resulting in a serious shortage of troops in the direction of the Atlantic Wall. Coupled with the incredible combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army, the beachhead position was completely captured just three hours after the landing battle began, and the nearby fortresses were all emptied by the Volunteer Army. When the US military opened the front door, the landing craft dropped all the personnel on it without even any damage.
