Chapter 356 S-type mines
Before the war, a nationwide war mobilization is necessary.
Britain and France are absolutely clear that if they declare war on Germany, it would mean the outbreak of World War II. Judging from the experience of World War I, the world war would completely destroy a country, such as men aged 20 to 40 who were all killed in the battlefield.
If you really want to fight, you will definitely need to mobilize the war, transfer all reserve soldiers to active service, add reserve divisions, and transfer the existing national system to the wartime system.
But now, Britain and France did nothing, just held a military parade in Paris, then drove to the border area and declared war.
In Cialek's eyes, Britain and France were just doing it, making it for Poland to show it, telling Poland that they had fulfilled the treaty, but Britain and France still had no plans to fight.
So, if they really call, they will retreat, and in this way, Britain and France will definitely be satisfied.
The retreat now is of course to confuse Britain and France. When the battle in Poland ends, Britain and France should swallow the bitter fruit they have made themselves.
Now, Germany is holding back its ultimate move. If it doesn't move, it will be a shocking moment.
Since all war has been declared, we must be prepared for war. Now the psychology of Britain and France is really to be the guardian of European order and the police of Europe.
The Rhine River, which records the national history of Germany and the longest river in Germany that carries the German national spirit, has always been called the father river by the Germans.
This river originates from the Rhinewald Glacier in the Alps, flows through Switzerland, Luxembourg, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries, and finally merges from Rotterdam in the Netherlands into the North Sea of the Atlantic Ocean.
The scenery along the way is beautiful and unique natural scenery, and it has even been rated as a world cultural heritage. There are grapes on both sides of the strait, making the scenery extremely charming.
Now, in the Rhine Valley, no one is in the mood to appreciate these beautiful natural scenery. Opposite is the French, and France has declared war on Germany.
This is the state of war? France's attitude made the veterans of the First Army unable to accept it. As veterans who came from World War I, they still remember how cruel the war was.
The French rushed forward desperately, and kept falling down in front of the Maxim heavy machine gun. It was common for tens of thousands of people to die in a day. But now? The war has been declared, but the French still have no movement!
"Squad leader, what the hell are the Frenchman opposite?" Ram asked his squad leader.
"Don't worry about what the French are doing. Follow the orders, let's breeze quickly." Squad leader Leo said to him.
Break the lightning quickly!
The engineer shovel in Ram's hand had already dug a hole and carefully buried a cylindrical landmine.
This mine was developed by Germany in 1930 and was designed to attack uncovered infantry in open areas. It was named s.mi.35 and s.mi.44 according to the production date. The main difference is that the fuze chamber of s.mi.35 is in the center of the thunder body, while s.mi.44 is biased to one side.
It was first put into production in 1935 and was an important part of the Third Reich's defense plan. Historically, when production was stopped due to Germany's surrender, Germany produced more than 1.93 million S-type mines. The s in the type mine is the first letter of the German shrapnellmine, and is the earliest and most famous one of the mines jumping, and is called "Bounce Betty".
These mines caused serious casualties to the enemy, delaying or even preventing the enemy's advance. The mine was designed successfully, deadly, and widely imitated, and was a landmark weapon in World War II.
Now, this is the first time that this mine has been buried. The French on the opposite side have not tasted the mine. Soon, they will no longer be willing to set foot on German land.
Three days have passed since the French declared war. Will the French still fight? While burying landmines, Ram was burying landmines while thinking in his heart.
His squad leader carefully marked a map that behind them was a village, which was the main traffic road of the village. Landmines were buried here and people were prevented from being bombed. Now the location was clearly marked in order to easily dig out these mines after the war.
He knew how terrible these mines were.
And at this moment, a bicycle was riding rapidly towards the place from afar.
"Nippe, you idiot, beware of our mines!" Leo shouted loudly.
As the First Army, all equipment should have been given priority. Unfortunately, the current First Army is like a second-line unit, and it is not their turn to have any good equipment. In fact, a large part of the army is reserve troops, such as their current unit.
Therefore, all kinds of modern equipment have nothing to do with them. There are no tanks, no wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and even motorcycles, only companies or above. For the infantry squad, the only modern tools are left bicycles.
Nipe was a tall soldier, his legs were quite long. At this time, his legs were pedaling quickly and rushed towards this side.
When he heard Leo's words, Nibe did not slow down. He was like an acrobat and twisted around from the side.
These mines are buried according to certain rules.
"Squad leader, squad leader." Nipe, who was panting, shouted to Leo: "French, the French are coming!"
The Frenchman is here? Leo was delighted: "Let's go, let's retreat!"
According to the plan, the German army and the French army cannot conflict. When the French come up, the German army can only retreat. This order makes people speechless.
However, Leo could also understand that the main forces of the German army were all in Poland and avenged the head of state. At this time, the troops on the Western Front could not be deployed too much. Since they could not defeat it, it would be a wise decision to retreat.
Anyway, there is a line of defense behind them. At most, they will retreat to the line of defense and will never retreat. There, with the help of fortifications, they can resist calmly.
Now, the French are finally here.
"Squad leader, can I stay and observe the enemy situation first?" Nibe said to Leo.
After thinking about it, Leo agreed. Unexpectedly, as soon as he nodded, Ram on the side also began to ask: "Squad leader, I want to stay too."
Looking at the hands of the two, and touching the stock of the Mauser rifle, Nibe knew what the two wanted to do.
"Remember, as soldiers, it is their duty to obey orders, even if this order is difficult for us to understand and accept." Leo said: "You two can stay and observe, but if anyone dares to take the initiative to shoot, I can shoot you directly!"
