Chapter 1123
Time does not flow forward according to human will!
After more than a week of preparation, the two sides finally waited for the moment of the decisive battle! On
April 21, 1930, at 3:50 p.m., the German army set out from Bratis and Gyor respectively, advancing eastward to attack the Soviet army, an important city located at the pass of the Carpathian Mountains-Esztergom!
This city sits on the Danube and controls the connection between the plains on the east and west sides of the Danube.
In addition, the city is located at the pass of the Carpathian Mountains, with a dangerous terrain. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
When the Soviet army entered Hungary, the regent of Hungary, Horthy, fled without a fight, causing the garrison here to collapse, making it almost effortless for the Soviet army to take it down.
At this time, this place became the first target of the German attack, because if they did not take it down, they would not be able to drive out the bears entrenched in Hungary!
Guderian knew the importance of this place. If this nail was not pulled out, once the German army attacked too deeply, it might be cut off by the German army.
Therefore, he concentrated a large number of troops and attacked Esztergom from the south bank of the Danube, trying to open the situation in one go!
In order to reduce the difficulty of the attack, reduce the casualties of its own troops, and destroy the Soviet army’s will to resist to the greatest extent.
The German army concentrated more than 5,000 artillery pieces, including thousands of large-caliber heavy artillery pieces, to destroy the Soviet positions.
Military observers from various countries who came to watch the battle were fortunate to enjoy this wonderful scene.
When 5,000 cannons fired in unison, it seemed that there was only the rumbling sound of the cannons in the whole world, and all other sounds could not be heard!
The military observers from various countries who came to watch the battle were all scared and pale, and their legs were shaking!
Everyone has heard that the German army is very arrogant in battle, with fierce firepower, fast assault, and extremely difficult to defend.
But hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another!
Before today, even though military observers from various countries knew that the German army’s firepower was very fierce, they could not understand how fierce it was!
Now, they finally understand!
“”Hiss, isn’t this artillery fire too fierce? How many shells will be consumed if they keep bombarding like this?”
This was the cry of the people of Sweden in Northern Europe.
Sweden is just a small country with a small population and few resources. It can’t afford such a war of attrition and has never been as extravagant as the German army.
According to the speed of the German army, in an hour, their artillery shell consumption is at least more than 100,000 rounds!
If this continues for a day, the consumed artillery shells will be counted in the millions!
Such a terrible number is almost equivalent to the consumption of the people of Sweden for several years!
However, this is just one day’s combat consumption of the German army!
The people of Sweden have never fought such a war, so they have been shocked in their hearts.
They really can’t imagine what would happen if the army of Sweden fought like this!
The people of Sweden are still relatively good. After all, they have supporting military merit enterprises in their own country, and most of their equipment is They are self-sufficient, and some weapons can even be exported.
For example, the internationally famous Bofors anti-aircraft gun was produced by the Swiss military factory.
This anti-aircraft gun has strong firepower, small size, and light tonnage, making it one of the small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns that warships of various countries favor!
It is precisely because of its many advantages that this anti-aircraft gun has achieved impressive sales, and a large number of domestic and foreign orders have made the Bofors company live a very comfortable life.
Compared with the Swiss, the Fairy Tale Country, with a smaller land area and a smaller population, almost cried out! The
Fairy Tale Country is small and weak, and it is too close to the Third Reich, so they are unable to resist the German attack. So at the beginning of the war, before the German army attacked, they had disbanded their army and lay down and died.
Tong This practice of the Fairy Tale Country did protect their country from the flames of war, but it also made them the fastest defeated country in history.
Having never experienced war, the soldiers of the Fairy Tale Country have no idea what modern warfare is like.
At this moment, seeing so many German artillery bombarding a target, they were immediately shocked by the spectacular scene.
The Fairy Tale Country thought: So this is the real battlefield?
Is this how the battle is fought?
Seeing Esztergom bombarded with smoke, the Fairy Tale Country couldn’t help but shrink their necks!
Fortunately, they surrendered decisively enough and didn’t give the German army a chance to start a war, so their homeland suffered almost no damage in the war.
Looking back now, they have to admire their decisiveness and wisdom. decision.
If they had chosen to resist, then Esztergom in front of them would probably be their fate.
Even though the battle was not over yet, the Fairy Tale people had already anticipated the situation after the war.
Esztergom, the prosperous city on the Danube, might completely become a pile of ruins after this battle!
This beautiful city was like a pearl inlaid on the blue Danube an hour ago.
But the next moment, the city became a ruin, a place of death with raging fires, flames and explosions everywhere!
I don’t know if the bears evacuated the people in the city before the battle. If not, such a fierce bombardment would definitely cause huge casualties to the people in the city!
However, before the representatives of the Fairy Tale Country felt sad for these people, a deafening sound came from the German artillery position again.
And unlike the previous sound, this time the sound was particularly loud, and even the shells whistling over their heads sounded more imposing!
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
The sound did not sound like ammunition exploding, but rather like the sound of a cannon firing.
But what kind of cannon could make such a loud noise?
