Imperial Overlord

The morning sun is not so piercing. The sun in the northern hemisphere will never be so blazing.

The city is shrouded in peace and quiet. People get up early, take to the streets, talk about today's weather, and about the recent war.

A man is walking down the uncrowded street carrying his handbag. A colleague stopped by him, and soon the two of them converged and walked side by side.

"Hey, have you heard? A lot of soldiers were dispatched last night to dig field fortifications outside the city." My colleague spoke of the news he had just heard.

The country has recruited 20,000 young people of school age to join the army. This incident has been troubling all night, and of course everyone knows it.

What is depressing is that the Germans have already called the door, but they can only hear a few words of failure from the mouths of some people.

Many people just know that the front line was defeated and lost a lot of soldiers, but no one knows the specific situation.

"The age of the two of us is also dangerous. I heard from the officer downstairs that the age has been set at 55 years old." Seeing that the co-workers beside him did not speak, the colleague continued to talk about lace news.

"Look over there..." The man stopped and pointed to the street in the distance, where the two of them were stunned.

In the distance was a group of tattered soldiers, who had retreated from the front line.

Generally speaking, such soldiers are not allowed to enter the city to influence the hearts of the people, but now they have actually appeared.

The only explanation for such a thing is that the commanders above are too busy to take care of the whereabouts of these soldiers, and they have more headaches to deal with.

What could be more frustrating? It is nothing more than that the Germans are very close to the city...

"I think we won't have much work to do soon... The Germans are very close to here..." The man sighed, raised his steps and continued to walk forward.

His colleague was even more behind, and he asked in a somewhat bewildered way: "My God, do you mean that the Germans have already called at the door?"

For those who live in the city of Leningrad, the Germans have indeed hit their doorstep, and Germany's Army Group North, unconsciously, has almost gone hand in hand with its own Army Group Center.

"If the Germans really call, we should probably leave..." The flustered colleagues seemed to have come up with a solution to the problem.

"It's too late! Stalin gave an order... Everyone can't retreat, including the elderly and children." The man said depressedly, and then their conversation was interrupted.

Yes, it was interrupted. In the distant direction, there was a sudden deafening explosion, and the black smoke immediately rolled and rose, and people could see clearly from a distance.

"The enemy's bombing?" The man who didn't know what happened, looked at the explosion in the distance, and asked in the bottom of his heart.

But he did not hear the sound of the air defense siren, which means that no one saw the enemy aircraft.

But the sudden explosion should not be an accident. After all, the sound was so loud that it didn't look like it was accidental.

Sure enough, before everyone realized the crux of the problem, the second explosion just followed.

"Boom!" It was still so deafening, still so devastating. There seemed to be vibrations coming from under his feet, and the sound of buildings collapsing could be vaguely heard.

"Damn it! The Germans are shelling?" No matter how stupid people heard the two explosions but did not hear the sound of the air defense siren, they would realize the seriousness of the problem.

After hearing the sound of the explosion, the soldiers in ragged clothes gathered on the street all fell to the ground in a hurry.

They were all too familiar with the sound of such explosions. The German firepower was stronger than them, and the deafening sound of the artillery made them constantly retreat and escape.

"What kind of artillery is it that can produce such a devastating explosion?" The man bent down and turned his head to look at the sound of the explosion in the distance.

After a moment, he heard something whizzing past his head, the sound was so sharp that it made his ears ring.

The huge shell ripped through the air and crashed into the building in the distance. After smashing a corner of the building, it rushed to the next block.

Then, right there, a violent explosion suddenly caused everyone who was still standing on the ground to fall to the ground.

The violent explosion made everyone lose their hearing, and the shock wave shattered the glass of surrounding buildings. The building at the center of the explosion has long ceased to exist.

The man staggered to his feet on the ground, struggling to escape further. He saw what his colleague was shouting at him, but couldn't hear any sound.

There were ringing sounds in his ears, and he gestured to his colleague to leave quickly, then carried his handbag and ran to the direction of home.

In his heart, what he thought at this time was to quickly let his wife and children leave the residence and go to the air-raid shelter.

Living at home is a dangerous choice at this time, because once such an explosion begins, it will never end.

"Boom!" The fourth explosion also appeared, followed by the fifth and sixth, until the eighth time before it stopped.

This is not a new German weapon, nor is it any advanced stuff like rockets.

At this moment, in the open waters of the Gulf of Finland, the battleship HMS Warrior, which used to belong to the British Navy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and now belongs to the German fleet, has eight huge main gun barrels, which are slightly smoking.

The 381 mm caliber Mark 1 type 42-caliber main gun is not something that can easily be compared with army artillery.

And this kind of artillery was produced for a long time, and it is definitely not a new type of weapon.

Because it was fired at the farthest distance, the shells had to travel about 25 kilometers, and the firing was also done by German navy cadets, so there was nothing to say about the accuracy.

However, as the main gun of a naval battleship, it is completely enough to attack such a huge target as a city.

Right next to the battleship Warrior, the eight 381mm main guns of the battleship Warspite spewed out a dazzling light again.

After the huge roar, the water surface next to the battleship was blown away, and around the battleship, more than ten destroyers were patrolling, not giving the enemy any chance to approach.

Germany's newly established training Baltic Fleet has begun to use actual combat to train its new crew members.
