Imperial Overlord

The quality of French railway guns is very poor, and explosion accidents often occur, but the German army lacks various weapons, so it can only be used carefully.

The Gustav cannon developed by the German army itself is now similar to the mascot. Who has the leisure to wait for the giant beast to arrive at the front line?

The specially laid railway will extend from Romania to the Crimea, and when the Gustav artillery arrives in Sevastopol, the Soviet defenders inside may starve to death...

Therefore, those railway guns that do not need a dedicated railway and do not need to change the width of the rails are the railway guns that the Germans like the most.

Affected by this aspect, the heaviest artillery in the hands of Army Group D, apart from the Karl Mortar, is only the bizarre French railway gun.

As a rare heavy support artillery with a caliber of more than 300 mm in the army, the French train gun itself is also a one-time consumable that will lose one if one is used.

But these behemoths did become the most reliable companions of German soldiers on the Crimean Peninsula.

These French soldiers did not have time to fire a super artillery gun in the Western Front War, and they showed their second youth here.

Watching these terrifying ultimate weapons spew thick smoke and flames that covered the sky, all the German soldiers who operated these artillery pieces were thankful that these giant artillery pieces did not actually fire on the Germans during the battle on the Western Front.

It takes a simple crane to unload the ammunition for these train guns from the ammunition supply compartment, and then it takes a lot of soldiers' efforts to send the huge shells into the gun chambers.

Most of the work was done by Romanian and Italian soldiers, since these guns were more or less at risk of blowing up.

But Romanians and Italians don't mind this kind of thing, because in their opinion, the casualty rate of artillery bombing accidents is much lower than the casualty rate of front-line infantry.

These artillerymen come to the front to serve for about a year, and then they can get the military service certificate of their own country and are eligible to retire and go home.

You can serve in the second-line artillery and then get the qualification to retire. This can be said to be a more attractive service state among the civilians. The German artillery is also willing to hand over the French train gun, a terrifying weapon that explodes at any time, to these foreign corps.

The reason why it is called the Foreign Legion is because they are different from the Italian Expeditionary Force and the Romanian Expeditionary Force. They are directly under the command of the German army, and management and supplies are also under the German Army Group D.

The foreign corps diligently loaded the shells and left the standby cannon under the command of German officers.

With an order, the huge artillery shot out a dazzling fire again, and a huge projectile weighing almost 400 kilograms rushed towards the distant target.

Artillery is almost the most accurate long-range strike method in this era. After a precise flight of 20 kilometers, the cannonball will land on the position where the observation post needs it to fall with an error of a few meters at most ten meters.

With a deafening explosion, the entire target area shook, the dust flew up with the vibration, and a choking smell was permeated within a radius of one kilometer.

There was a large circular crater in the ground, bubbling with faint heat in the still slightly hot air at the end of September.

The shell exploded next to a reinforced concrete machine gun bunker, shattering the side concrete walls of the machine gun bunker with tremendous force and collapsing the hard top cover.

Then the machine gun bunker stopped spitting out flames and made no noise. But in this position, there are dozens of sturdy machine gun bunkers like this.

The Sevastopol fortress group is the strongest fortress built by the Soviets, and it is also the largest, strongest and most expensive fortress group in the world.

Apart from the Soviet Union, there is no other country that would build such a fortress regardless of the cost, and would just use cement and steel bars to fill a whole mountain.

Who would have thought that there is a perverted country that will use the standards beyond the times to build a fortress that cannot be conquered?

Vasilevsky didn't know what the state of the marshals who chose to commit suicide or die in battle before.

Are those marshals, like he is now, huddled in the corners of the solid basement, with dim and flickering lights, waiting for the last moment.

A few hours ago, the news of the German occupation of Kerch had been sent to his desk - the Crimea Peninsula, and now he is the only fortress, which still belongs to the Soviet Union.

Even on the surface, most of the fortress has already belonged to Germany - only a large number of underground buildings and a few surface defense positions are left to him.

Started yesterday and have been hitting it till now. At this moment, the German soldiers were less than a kilometer away from the main position of the Soviet defensive fortress of Sevastopol.

Although the road of less than 1 kilometer is full of bunkers and mines, trenches and disguised anti-tank gun positions are everywhere, but this still cannot make Vasilevsky feel at ease for a moment.

Because the previously lost positions were also full of barbed wire and mines, as well as bunkers and trenches - but they were all lost, and they were all lost within a few hours.

The artillery support of the battleships made all the persistence and counterattacks of the Soviet army pale, and it was only a matter of time before the Crimea finally fell.

What makes people depressing is that this time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will not be very long - the reason why Moscow can last for more than two months is because there are nearly one million Soviet troops in the Moscow encirclement.

As for Sevastopol, there are only 300,000 to 50,000 soldiers after full calculation. This number is also one of the main reasons why Vasilevsky could not last for a long time.
