Imperial Overlord

: Four hundred and eighty cannons

Li Le, or the most powerful long-distance support weapon in the hands of the Third Reich at this stage, is the famous train gun that began to serve in 1936. It can be said that it is the most powerful and practical train gun in Germany. . fastest update

The train cannon was born earlier, combining railways and heavy artillery, giving the artillery unparalleled mobility, which once made the train cannon the darling of war.

Including the famous Paris cannon, the most famous train cannons in the world are almost all produced in Germany. Among the many train guns, the k5 train gun is one of the best.

In fact, this kind of train gun fully considers the timeliness and range of support firepower, and also takes into account the mobility and versatility of the artillery itself. It is a rare and excellent weapon and equipment.

Compared to the more famous Gustav cannon, this more practical gun is superior both in preparation for firing and in the total amount of shells delivered per unit time.

In 1940, the famous Gustav cannon is still in the production process. According to Li Le's plan, he does not plan to build such an exaggerated 800mm world's largest cannon.

The k5 in hand is practical and convenient, and its powerful range is more than a little stronger than that of Gustav's self-abuse equipment.

So, Li Le accelerated the construction of the k5 and paused the poor Gustav cannon. The ultimate purpose of building the k5 is actually to use it as a secret weapon to support the landing troops when they land in the UK.

Now, this secret weapon has really played a role in a full 7 k5 train guns, plus two earlier k12 train guns, forming a train gun firing position with 9 heavy guns.

Just when the two armies were fighting for the pass on the British beach, the soldiers were busy cleaning their gun barrels and preparing for the next firing at the firing positions of these 9 artillery pieces.

Compared with the Gustav train gun, which can fire at most one shell per hour, the K5 train gun has a rate of fire of up to eight rounds per hour.

The firing frequency of this speed is basically capable of supporting the firepower status. More often, Gustav only appeared as a fortress blasting expert, and did not participate in the task of supporting front-line troops.

However, when the K5 train gun with a range of 50 kilometers appeared in the English Channel near Dover, which was only 35 kilometers wide, this kind of heavy artillery with a range that could cross the Channel was Li Le's killer in dealing with British defensive positions.

No matter how many dive bombers are mobilized, it is impossible to drop hundreds of bombs into a small area within an hour.

However, with the support of k5 and k12, the attack density is obviously improved by a grade. Li Le never intended to win by accuracy, he relies on coverage density!

With 9 cannons, more than 70 shells can be fired at a certain area in an hour, and with the bombs of the bombers, it is absolutely more than enough to attack a pass.

On the rails fired by the artillery, the German artillerymen are carefully pushing a 283mm caliber artillery shell into the gun chamber.

Just after the propellant charge was pushed into the combustion chamber, the huge tail breech block was closed, and then the barrel of the entire cannon began to rise slowly according to the original angle.

"Boom!" Like a chimney, the top of the gun barrel pointed to the sky, and a dazzling flame was sprayed out. With the huge recoil, the barrel of the entire train gun slumped rapidly.

Then the air waves rolled and transpired at the muzzle, and with the cooperation of the mechanical devices, the whole cannon slowly began to return to the position it was in when the fire was fired.

The artillerymen who covered their ears were still tortured by the deafening sound. These huge guys didn't fire together, but there were attacks in the vicinity.

The target is a fixed area that has been surveyed and mapped long ago. As long as the artillery shell hits this area, it is an effective attack.

Therefore, even if they are separated by 35 kilometers or even 40 kilometers, the effectiveness of the attack is still very high. At least none of these targets can escape, and they can only wait to be beaten in place.

When the cannon opened fire, the second cannon was ready, and in the following order, the cannon also opened fire and fired a second shell.

Soon, and without much time, the nine cannons fired another round. Soldiers are carefully cleaning the debris in the combustion chamber, preparing for the next shot.

During the flight of the shells, all the British soldiers were in disarray on the defensive positions of the British coastline. The sudden attack just now made everyone nervous.

In addition to dive bombers, the Germans also had large-caliber artillery to participate in the attack, which was not good news for the British army whose fortifications were fixed near the pass.

"It was the German shelling just now? It was the German shelling just now! Damn it! How could they find such a large-caliber artillery piece?" The British staff were anxiously circling the ground.

The time for Britain to build fortifications was not long, so although most of the fortifications were clever and concealed, their ability to resist attacks was really limited.

Before relying on concealment and camouflage, it escaped the baptism of the German bombers. Now, relying on the advantages of artillery, the German army has begun to "wash the ground", and this has changed.

If only relying on aircraft, the Germans could not carry out indiscriminate attacks on the pass. But now that the artillery is added, the speed of ammunition delivery is suddenly accelerated.

Many British soldiers were rescuing the fortifications that had just collapsed in the shelling, and some were rushing to find comrades who were in a mess.

At this moment, a new round of artillery bombardment fell from the sky, one after another fell near the pass, turning this place into a **** on earth.

"Boom! Boom!" The sound of the explosion was one after another, and the soil was lifted into the air, with the broken body and the fragments of the gun.

Most of the British positions were paralyzed, and the new attack launched by the German soldiers quickly crossed the anti-tank obstacle zone. The weak attack of the British army was almost negligible.

"The Fuhrer's support artillery unit called. According to our request, we will launch three rounds of attacks. A total of 27 rounds of ammunition will be fired, completely destroying nearby enemy fortifications."

Herman really wanted to say that the two rounds of attacks were already very effective, and the third round of attacks was completely superfluous.

But in the middle of the conversation, it was only 10 minutes before he swallowed another round of attacks, and it was still very early before the deadline for him to capture the pass.

"Hello? Hello? General Deere? The pass was attacked by the enemy's intensive fire. It was all explosions and smoke. I couldn't see the situation!" .

Twenty minutes ago, he was confident in defending this stretch of coast. The German was immobilized by his soldiers under the white cliff, and the losses seemed to be rout at any moment.

But after 20 minutes, Germany suddenly launched a fierce artillery attack on the pass, disrupting all the arrangements of the British defenders at once.

The Germans have the ability to attack, and they are very powerful. This is something that the British defenders have never expected before. They have always believed that Dover is safe.

"What? Contact my 1st regiment? Sir! I can't get in touch with the front line now! After an explosion, the regiment headquarters lost contact." Listening to Sir Dill's question over the phone, the division commander replied helplessly.

Not being able to contact the troops near the pass made the division commander very anxious. Another thing put a lot of pressure on the military behind him: the German paratroopers have been pressed to the coastline!

The paratroopers' airborne 3rd Division was responsible for attacking the coastline defense system, destroying local defense junctions, and helping the landing force to open up the situation.

In line with the principle that those who can do more work, the German paratroopers accepted this task. Although the current 3rd Division is not full of numbers, its attack speed is not slow at all.

Now they have attacked less than 5 kilometers from the coastline, pressing the British rearguard to retreat.

There was a fierce attack from the German landing troops in front, and German paratroopers compressed the space behind to block reinforcements. The current situation of the British Coast Guard can only be described as pain.

"Hey! Hey! Is the 1st regiment headquarters? The 1st regiment headquarters?" In the telephone receiver hanging under the edge of the desk, the teacher's voice was roaring over and over again.

A pair of sandy leather boots walked over to the phone, stepped over the corpse lying on the ground, and stopped by the receiver of the phone.

Then, a German sergeant with a submachine gun bent down, picked up the still-talking telephone receiver, and put it next to his ear.

With a hint of bad taste, he opened his mouth and said in pure German: "Wherever you are, this place has been occupied by the troops of the German 112th Mechanized Infantry Division, goodbye!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. Behind him, soldiers had come in and started to collect the maps hanging in the house and the documents scattered on the ground.

The long dead British commander lying on the ground, as well as the bodies of several officers, were eventually dragged out of this hidden command.

After a while, Division Commander Herman, who had his hands behind his back, brought his command team to the headquarters that was once the enemy.

"It's really a good place. It's the best observation point to look down at." Herman's staff officer walked into the room, looked in the direction of the beach through the observation hole, and commented.

"God bless, this is ours now! In a few minutes, General Dietrich must be here too." Looking at the beach, a huge floating pier, being calibrated by two barges, is connected to the beach on the fixture, Herman said.

Next to this temporary headquarters, on a rough road, the No. 3 tanks are advancing one after another, moving further away——

The update is late today, but the number will not be small. Please wait patiently. Longling will continue to code words. If you can't wait, you can watch it tomorrow morning.
