When the first white light appeared in the East, the whole of Europe fell into war.

Thousands of Stuka dive bombers took off from German airports and suddenly bombed the airports, railway hubs, heavy troop concentration areas and cities of France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

At 5:30, on the more than 300 km front between the North Sea and the Maginot line, the German ground forces launched a large-scale attack on the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, opening the prelude to the invasion of France.

There are many statements about the signs of the outbreak of World War II, such as the invasion of Poland or the invasion of the Czech Republic?

However, it is certain that the previous wars were small-scale, but now the invasion of France has finally become a large-scale war, because it is the competition between the strongest two sides in the European continent!

Among them, the most fierce attack was the German army group B, which first attacked important bridges and fortress facilities in the Netherlands and Belgium with airborne troops. Then, the armored forces of group B army group took advantage of the chaos and launched a fierce attack.

For a time, the Netherlands and Belgium were terrified, especially Belgium. Just after the war, their most trusted and proud fortress fell into the control of the German army!

The Germans must not succeed!

Just after the German occupation of Eben EMAR fortress, the counterattack of the Belgian army began immediately!

After all, it is the most reliable fortress for the Belgians, and its importance is comparable to the Maginot line.

Throughout the history of World War II, the Maginot line is famous, but Eben? The most important reason is that the cost for the Germans to seize the fort is too low.

Four hundred soldiers in gliders occupied this place, which surprised the Belgian high-rise who patted his chest and said that the fortress was as solid as gold.

At the same time, the surrounding troops also began to move rapidly towards the fortress. Before the main force of Germany pushed here, they must drive away the German soldiers here!

Inside the fortress, major bridgeland urgently called to the rear by telephone: "fire on me, fire on me!"

Now, the garrison inside the fortress is facing a very difficult choice.

The loss of the garrison was small, only dozens of soldiers outside died, and the main force was still there, but they had no fighting ability.

It's not that they have no will, but no way, because the defenders are inside the fortress and the Germans are at the top of the fortress. When all the passageways are destroyed, the defenders inside the fortress want to go out and fight, which has become an impossible task.

What should I do?

At this time, major bridgeland did not care about his life. He urgently called to the rear and fired!

In fact, there is no great danger, because our fortress is quite strong and can withstand the attack of our artillery. At the same time, the Germans at the top of our fortress are exposed and bombard them with artillery!

Fire at me!

A few minutes after the call, the artillery of the 3rd Battalion of the 4th heavy artillery regiment of the 1st Belgian army finally launched their artillery.

Originally, they were near the fortress, but their artillery aimed at the opposite side. Now, the artillery were panting and tired. They turned the artillery around and prepared to load.

This kind of fsh-13 howitzer, with a diameter of 150 mm, sounds very large, but it is thick and short. Compared with later large-diameter howitzers, this kind of howitzer is like a big artillery battle. It is an old howitzer during World War I.

Just look at the four wheels below. They are all made of iron, but they are only covered with rubber. The operation of this kind of artillery is quite inconvenient.

Just as they adjusted the angle of the artillery, bound the firing data and prepared to fire, a rumbling sound came from the distant sky.

No!

A gunner covered the sun with his hand and looked at the distant sky. He saw the unique seagull wing and immediately shouted, "it's Stuka!"

German bombers!

During World War II, the Germans almost conquered the whole of Europe, which shows that the Germans also have advantages. Their greatest advantage is the advanced military theory.

France and Belgium are still building fortresses with a large amount of money according to the experience of World War I, in an attempt to block Germany in this way.

What about the Germans? They are not only advocates of advanced military science and technology, but also practitioners of advanced theories.

For example, the theory of integrated air to ground warfare, such as the use of tanks together, for example, the use of the air force to support the land, is still not outdated in future generations.

Now, the whole fortress, including the three nearby bridges, add up to 400 German soldiers. They are helpless and surrounded by Belgians. How do they spend the most dangerous time?

Use the air force, of course!

The whole fortress is isolated. After controlling the three bridges, the nearby Belgian army can't reach the fortress. At the same time, Stuka bombers will protect their safety!

Hans was quite excited.

Before dawn, he had taken part in an operation to take the outdated glider back with his Stuka bomber. At the same time, he also attacked several searchlights to cover the return of junker-52 transport aircraft.

When he returned to the base, other squadrons attacking Luxembourg had taken off, and his original target was assigned by others. Therefore, he received a new task to protect the fortress!

The Stuka bomber, loaded with two 500kg bombs and full of machine gun bullets, embarked on the voyage for the second time. When he flew over here, he began to fly around the fortress.

Relying on the pilot's vision, he visually found an artillery position five kilometers away. Those large caliber howitzers turned and aimed at the fortress.

Is that good? When he discovered the situation here, Hans immediately pushed the joystick and drove his Stuka bomber towards the artillery position.

When he swooped down from the air, his vision was better. This artillery position was not guarded by anti-aircraft guns. It was an excellent target!

Moreover, those ammunition boxes are stacked together!

Stuka was screaming, as Hans's sight, the ammunition boxes, got closer and bigger. The artillery around were running away in a panic.

When the distance was less than 100 meters, Hans pressed the throwing button.

500 kg bomb, fall accurately!
