Chapter 541: Maginow's Death


It’s the end of the year and I’ve been quite busy these days, sorry.

Montbéliard, France, August 17, 1939, AD 2780.

Montbéliard is a small city located in eastern France.

Administratively, it belongs to the Montbéliard district of the Franche-Comté region.

This city has little fame and no sense of existence.

It continues to exist in the later generations of the original time and space. , apart from having a football club, it has little reputation.

But in this plane, it is destined to become famous.

Montbeliard is the southern end of the Maginot Line.

The Maginot Line, a solid defense line costing more than 11 billion francs, starts here and extends to the seaside on the French-Belgian border.

The Maginot Line of defense in the original space-time cost five billion francs.

This defense line in this plane cost more than double because it was longer and stronger, and a large number of anti-aircraft and anti-armor designs were added.

Of course, you get what you pay for.

The defensive power of the Maginot Line in this plane is definitely incomparable to that of the original game of the same name.

Of course, the French themselves are also very satisfied with the effect of this defense line.

Such money is not in vain.

After their own testing, all parts of this thing can withstand 1,000 kilograms of aerial bombs or ten-inch heavy artillery, and the key parts can withstand 2,500 kilograms of aerial bombs or fourteen-inch heavy artillery.

Coupled with the dense anti-aircraft firepower, bunkers, mine arrays, anti-tank trenches, large-caliber fortress guns and various staggered firepower points, it is simply impregnable.

At the Franco-Belgian border, two openings were made in the defense line to allow access by rail and road.

On this weak point that the French considered themselves to be, they also painstakingly designed a plan.

On both sides of the two railways and roads, there were criss-crossing firepower points, and there was no cover on the road.

Moreover, the highway passage is deliberately designed with twists and turns, and some sections of the railway are movable and can be cut off at any time.

If the Germans want to break through from here, I'm afraid the price they will pay will be even greater.

Therefore, the French proudly declare: If there is an insurmountable line of defense in the world, then Maginot is definitely one of them.

Any army facing this Maginot Line of Defense will only suffer a bloody defeat.

Since the Maginot Line was built, the French people have felt an unprecedented sense of security.

The north is protected by the strait, and the British Navy will be responsible for the security of this area.

Therefore, France's defense forces are now tilted south, mainly to watch Italy and the southern coastline.

The terrain in the Alps in the south is complex and the army cannot deploy at all.

Moreover, with the weak fighting power of the Italians, the French do not pay attention at all, so there is basically no danger in the south.

Second Lieutenant Dukov was a French officer stationed at the Maginot Line.

On this day, as usual, he came to the post to inspect.

"Soldier, have the Germans done anything strange today?"

Dukov walked to the guard post and made a routine inquiry to Sergeant Puccini on duty.

"No, it's still the same as usual, we've been watching," Puccini said disapprovingly.

These French soldiers had strong confidence in the Maginot Line, and they did not think that the Germans would dare to come here.

Not only these grassroots officers and soldiers, but also the upper echelons of France think so.

A soldier asked: "Second Lieutenant, do you think the Germans will fight?"

"It's hard to say.

The Germans are going crazy because they are short of fuel.

Maybe they will do something stupid when they get crazy."

Dukov spread his hands and said with a smile: "I hope they will try our Maginot Line of Defense. , But the Germans are not fools.

They will definitely not be stupid enough to break through from here.

Their most likely breakthrough direction is the Alpine defense line in the south.

The defense over there is not so good. " As he spoke, he looked at the Siegfried Line of Defense on the opposite side.

The German fortification zone was still as quiet as usual.

Several Germans were pointing here from the observation deck of the fortress.

The German's Siegfried Line of Defense is far from comparable to the Maginot Line of Defense.

Compared with the local limited edition Maginot Line of Defense, this Siegfried Line of Defense can only be regarded as a low-end version.

Every time Dukov saw the defense line on the opposite side, which was what the French call a "cotton fence", and looked at his own impregnable defense line, a sense of pride unique to the French arose spontaneously.

"Second Lieutenant, do you think the Germans will take action against the Netherlands or Denmark?

These two countries also have a share in the North Sea oil fields."

Sergeant Puccini said.

"Haha, never mind him.

Anyway, as long as the Germans don't come to attack us in France, it's hard for us to care.

That's what the British should worry about."

Dukov smiled.

Now the French don't want to go to war more than the British.

They died so tragically in the first battle.

Almost all the young men of the generation died, leaving many French girls without men, and it was in vain that foreign men came to pick up the slack. .

Although the French quickly restored polygamy later, they still made a fuss.

France's current attitude is more appeasement.

As long as Erdezi doesn't beat them, they don't want to care.

Of course, you can still talk, but forget about substantive actions.

We French people like peace the most.

Suddenly, Sergeant Puccini looked at the sky opposite in surprise and shouted: "Hey, what kind of German plane is that?"

Dukov looked up and saw a group of black spots approaching quickly in the eastern sky.

This is a huge fleet, densely packed with aircraft flying in the dark, and it looks like they have malicious intentions at first glance.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

"The Germans are attacking."

The French officers and soldiers were stunned.

"Hurry up and get into the bunker.

The Germans may be coming to bomb."

Dukov quickly called his men to hide in the bunker.

The French officers and soldiers guarding the defense line have already conducted countless air defense drills, and they all know what procedures to perform now.

Except for some officers and soldiers who ran toward the air defense firepower point, others hid in air defense bunkers.

A large group of French officers and soldiers ran into the bunker panting.

"Don't worry, everyone.

Our bunkers have been tested with live ammunition.

Unless the Germans use three-ton heavy bombs, they will never be able to do anything to us."

Dukov encouraged everyone: "But except for airships, the Germans have no way of carrying them.

This kind of super heavy bomb plane I just saw.

After a while, the largest planes coming now are also four-engine bombers.

They can only carry 1,000 kilograms of bombs at most.

Those small bombs can only leave a black mark on our Maginot.

Moreover, our personnel bunkers also have defense lines.

The thickest protective layer in the market, so you don’t have to worry at all.”

The German aircraft fleet in the sky was like a black cloud, with overwhelming murderous intent, fiercely pounced in the direction of France.

On a JU99 four-engine heavy bomber serving as a command aircraft at the rear of the fleet, the commander of the fleet, Major General Klinsmann, reported to the ground command: "Report to the command, we are about to arrive above the Maginot Line of Defense."

Klinsmann's very familiar voice came from the intercom: "General, follow the plan and be sure to destroy the Maginot Line and open the door to victory for the imperial army.

You don't have to worry about enemy planes.

Our powerful fighter fleet will stop them.

You Their mission is to drop new bombs and kill them."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Imperial Marshal," Klinsmann replied respectfully.

Of course he could tell that the person speaking on the other side was his old superior, the ace in World War I, and now the Imperial Air Force Marshal Göring.

Germany attached great importance to this operation, so Goering, as the leader of the Air Force, also went to the Siegfried Line to personally command.

At this time, the voice of the fighter commander Colonel Matthäus sounded on another intercom: "Your Excellency, a French fighter jet was spotted ahead and asked us about its purpose."

Klinsmann also saw that more than 40 French fighter jets had taken off in the sky ahead, most of them Dewatina D type.

He immediately replied: "No need to answer, you immediately go up to block them and destroy them."

"Yes, General" Soon, more than 80 He105s were sent out from the German fleet to intercept.

The he105 is the latest fighter jet improved on the basis of the he100.

It mainly replaces the more powerful engine imported from China, the w38 2500 horsepower fourteen-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.

Not only has the engine been replaced, but the fuel has also been replaced with 115145 aviation gasoline with a higher octane number, which is also an oil refining technology introduced from China.

Moreover, in order to use the new aviation gasoline as soon as possible, the Germans purchased a thermal engine from China, which was a production line that was being produced, and was directly dismantled by China and bought to them.

They couldn't even wait to build the factory, and purchased 30,000 tons of 115145 aviation gasoline directly from China.

In addition, there are hundreds of BF111s watching from high altitude.

The BF series fighters in this plane are actually in service with the BF111, not the BF109 of the original space and time.

This is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter.

Its low-altitude dogfighting ability is not as good as the HE105, so they are responsible for the high-altitude enemies.

Now French aircraft are all in 3000 Below meters, they will naturally not end up.

The bf series in this plane also has the model bf109, but this is a test machine and has not been mass-produced.

As a competitor of the he100 that year, it was another bf101, but this aircraft lost to the he100 in the test.

The German aircraft in this plane have changed a lot.

For example, they have been lacking the four-shot heavy bombardment in the original space and time.

There are several models in this plane, two types for the navy, and one for the air force.

There is also the even more exaggerated six-engine heavy bomber JU90.

Well, it is an improved military version of the JU55 six-engine large passenger aircraft.

In order to confuse the French, the Germans did not dispatch the largest JU90 this time, but used the four-round heavy bomb JU99 with the largest amount of equipment.

This kind of aircraft can only carry a maximum of 2,000 kilograms of aerial bombs, which will not make the French too nervous.

However, for the new weapons that the Germans are about to adopt, 2,000-kilogram aerial bombs are enough.

To be honest, France was caught off guard by the Germans' undeclared war.

They did not expect that the Germans would dare to attack directly from the Maginot Line, so they had no defense at all.

Even though the relationship between the two sides was very tense during this period, the French were too confident in their defense.

Besides, the Germans are mainly fighting over the oil fields this time.

If they really want to fight, they are most likely to fight in Libya and the North Sea.

France did not benefit from the carving up of the North Sea oil fields.

Most of the Libyan oil fields were on the British side.

So originally the French were not in a hurry and were prepared to watch the excitement of the British.

After all, the contradiction between Britain and France is probably far greater than the contradiction between France and Germany.

The hatred between France and Germany was only forged in recent decades.

They did not have a century-old war.

The Germans captured Paris, but they didn't kill their national hero.

The British were different.

Not only did they fight a hundred-year war with them, not to mention the capture of Paris, France was almost wiped out at its worst, and the British also killed two of their national heroes, Napoleon and Joan of Arc died in the British, which is an eternal pain in the hearts of the French.

If the threat from Germany hadn't been too great, the French would never have squatted in the same trench with the British.

But who said that after forming an alliance, you can't cheat your teammates?

Trapping teammates is also the norm for hooligans.

A gangster who doesn't cheat his teammates is not a big hooligan.

So the French's little plan is to let the Germans and British pinch them first, so that the new pair The opponent with old grudges will have a hard time fighting, and then the Gaul Chicken can watch the storm with a smile.

But who would have thought that the Germans would attack France first, and they would start from the most unexpected place.

Therefore, the French were really ill-prepared this time, and their heavy troops were allocated to the south.

In the rush, they had less than 60 nearby fighter jets that could take off to fight, and there were more than a dozen planes at the airport more than 200 kilometers away.

There were planes at airports further away, but it would take at least several hours for them to arrive.

Finally.

French fighter jets had no advantage in either quantity or quality, and were firmly suppressed by German aircraft.

However, they were not too worried.

The German bombers were all at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters at this time.

The probability of accurately hitting the target when dropping a bomb at this altitude was almost as good as luck.

From the perspective of the French pilots, the German planes were probably going to bomb facilities such as airports behind the defense line.

If they wanted to attack those facilities on the defense line, they would have to lower their altitude.

No matter what the German aircraft chooses, the French will have a chance.

Suddenly, a pilot shouted: "The Germans dropped a bomb" "Are the Germans crazy?

Are they so insane that they want to carpet bomb Maginot?"

A squadron leader led by the team was puzzled.

The French spent more than 10 billion francs on the Maginot Line.

How could they not even be able to withstand carpet bombing?

"No, it's not a carpet bombing.

This is a large aerial bomb weighing at least 1,500 kilograms."

He soon discovered that something was wrong, because the bombs dropped by the German planes were too big, and a four-engine bomber could not carry such a bomb.

With just a few bombs, it’s impossible to afford carpet bombing.

"What can it hit with such high power?"

Second Lieutenant Dukov also saw the German plane dropping bombs from the observation port of the bunker, but he didn't take it seriously.

What made him even more angry was the German sneak attack.

"Damn Germans, they started a war without declaring it" "Second Lieutenant, just wait for them to come and die, hahaha."

The soldiers next to him were very confident.

"That's right, if they want to break through our Maginot, the Germans will have to prepare a coffin worth 3 million."

Dukov nodded.

According to French deductions, if the Germans want to capture Maginot head-on, they will have to pay at least 3 million casualties.

This is something the Germans cannot afford, even if they now have 100 million people after the Anschluss.

It's also unbearable.

The French in the bunker were joking objectively.

They were betting that they could kill a few Germans this time.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "The German bombs have wings."

Dukov quickly came over to take a look, and he was also stunned.

The bombs dropped by the Germans this time were completely different from the aerial bombs he remembered.

These bombs were no different from other aerial bombs when they were first dropped, but soon after they fell, these bombs stretched out two small wings.

"It's a glide bomb," shouted a French pilot.

The Army was not familiar with this kind of thing, but they were.

Gliding bombs are not high-tech, they just make the bomb look like a small airplane.

The French also developed this kind of thing, but the guidance of the glide bomb was a big problem, and the French have never been able to solve this problem.

The French Air Force is also equipped with glide bombs, but these unguided glide bombs are really difficult to use, and their hit rate is lower than conventional aerial bombs, so they can generally only be used for carpet bombing that does not require accuracy.

Their greatest function is that they can be thrown outside the anti-aircraft fire network.

As for whether they can hit the target, it depends on God's blessing or whether the pilot's character is strong enough.

Therefore, the French Air Force does not like this kind of over-reliance on character. and god bombs.

"Oh God, they can turn."

Suddenly, a soldier in a bunker screamed, and saw a huge "small plane" turning slightly in the air as if it had eyes, and then headed straight towards Their location flew.

However, the French soon discovered that something was wrong.

These bombs actually looked the same and would change direction in the air.

It's like someone is operating it.

If the bomb was not too small to fit a human inside, the French would have suspected that the Germans were using human flesh to guide the bomb.

At this time, there were two soldiers holding operating handles sitting in the cockpit of each German bomber.

They stared nervously at the screen in front of them.

What was displayed on the screen was the bombing target and a crosshair. , as soon as the crosshair deviates from the target, they immediately pull the handle to re-center the target, just like playing a game console.

And the course of those gliding bombs is indeed changing according to their control.

Yes, they used TV-guided glide bombs.

Of course, it is a very rudimentary radio remote control.

A small camera is installed in front of the aerial bomb, which can simultaneously transmit the image to the bomber's console, and then turn the rudder to adjust the direction according to the operator's radio instructions.

However, this control method will be blinded once it encounters radio interference.

But the French didn't expect this move at all.

How could they be prepared?

The glide bomb is slower than the missile and easier to operate.

This time it was calculated mentally but not carefully, so the hit rate was extremely high.

At least 90% of the bombs hit the target accurately, and only 10% missed.

But this doesn't matter, because the bomb only needs to fall near the target.

"Fortunately, it was a near miss."

Dukov saw in the periscope that the bomb landed dozens of meters away, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he heard a low explosion.

The bomb exploded dozens of meters away from the ground.

Its explosion sound was smaller than that of conventional bombs, but it sprayed out a large cloud of yellow-white mist after the explosion.

"Damn it, it's a gas bomb.

Put on your gas mask!"

Dukov quickly ordered the soldiers.

The French were also prepared for poison gas.

Everyone had done it during World War I.

No big deal, just wear a gas mask.

Now everyone in the French army is equipped with a gas mask, so they are not too worried.

Just as everyone was hurriedly putting on gas masks, there was a terrifying loud noise from outside, and a large ball of fire came in through ventilation holes, observation windows and other places connected to the outside world.

A huge mushroom cloud soared into the sky in the open space next to the bunker.

Soon, other bombs exploded one after another, and hundreds of huge "mushrooms" were seen rising up from the Maginot Line.

"God, what kind of bomb did the Germans use?"

When a pilot saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost fell.

"Mission accomplished, let's evacuate first, and then it's up to the Imperial Army."

Klinsmann ordered the bombers to evacuate.

Fighter formations covered them and continued to tangle with French aircraft.

Just as the bombing began, more than a dozen preset gaps suddenly opened in the Siegfried Line on the opposite side, and a large group of German mechanized troops rushed toward Maginot.

After the bomb exploded, the Maginot Line was completely silent, and all the anti-aircraft fire points that had been firing into the air went silent.

Now not only the anti-aircraft firepower was all muted, but even the ground firepower that should have been fired also showed no response at all.

"You guys, are those armies asleep?

Why don't you fire?"

Seeing the Germans getting closer and closer, the French pilots in the air were anxious and angry.

Although they wanted to help, the German plane was still nearby.

Soon after, the French pilots were surprised to see a group of German soldiers driving the minesweeper directly in front of the defense line and clearing the minefields in an orderly manner.

At this time, the Maginot Line was still completely silent.

Half an hour later, they watched helplessly as the Germans rushed to the Maginot Line, boarded it, and boarded it.

That night, Mustache gave a public speech on German national television, announcing that the French Maginot Line had been successfully conquered by the powerful and invincible German army in just one day.

At the cost of more than a hundred casualties and the loss of eight aircraft, the German army broke through the Maginot Line and annihilated more than 70,000 French troops.

The Germans started to revel, but the French were dumbfounded, and the British were also confused.

To be precise, the whole world was shocked by this news.

It’s not like everyone doesn’t know how awesome the Maginot Line is, it’s not some shoddy project.

It was actually captured by the Germans in one day.

What kind of concept is this?

This is too unscientific:
