This battle is indeed unwinnable!
Under the attack of the German infantry-tank coordination tactics, the Bolan people's defense line seemed to be made of paper, and was easily penetrated by the German tanks!
Da da da!
Although there was no artillery on the tractor tank, there were several machine guns. These machine guns fired at the Polish troops in the trenches, making them cry for their fathers and mothers.
Several Polish soldiers tried to use explosives to destroy the German tank. As a result, they were killed by the German soldiers behind the tank as soon as they got close to the tank!
Chuchuchu!
The German soldiers holding MP18 submachine guns performed the role of protector very well, knocking down all enemies who were close to the tank and posed a threat to the tank!
The MP18 is a submachine gun born during the First World War. This submachine gun is the first true submachine gun in human history. It performed extremely brilliantly in the First World War!
During World War I, due to the emergence of trench warfare, both warring parties often suffered huge casualties when attacking!
The existence of trenches and fortresses allows the defending soldiers to hide in relatively safe bunkers to avoid enemy artillery bombing and machine gun fire, which greatly reduces their casualty rate!
Countries are beginning to discover that no matter how fierce the artillery fire is, it is impossible to destroy everyone in the trenches, and once the defenders cannot be wiped out in large numbers, the defending side still has the strength to resist or even counterattack!
At the same time, in World War I, heavy machine guns were so brilliant that infantrymen from various countries were often massacred by heavy machine guns when attacking!
On a position, only a few heavy machine guns are needed to form an airtight fire network, causing heavy losses to the attackers close to this fire network. In the Battle of the Somme, the British and French armies defeated each other within one day. The 60,000 killed were attributed to the Maxim heavy machine gun that defeated the German army!
Due to insufficient understanding of the cruelty of trench warfare, when World War I first broke out, countries were still attacking according to past traditions.
As a result, just four months after the outbreak of World War I, the German and French armies suffered 700,000 and 850,000 casualties respectively, and the poorly equipped Mao Bearmen suffered 2.5 million casualties in one year.
Such heavy losses made all countries a little bit overwhelmed, so they all began to study it seriously.
What should be done to offset the enemy's defensive advantage?
All countries know that due to the existence of heavy machine guns and trenches, the defender has a natural advantage. If you want to reduce casualties and improve attack efficiency, you must conduct research on weapons to weaken the defender's advantages, or improve your own. The intensity of firepower enables one's own side to suppress the enemy's defensive firepower.
Under the guidance of this line of thinking, Sun Bu Luo and Gao Lu came up with weapons like tanks!
Although tanks are a bit cumbersome, they are magical tools for resisting the threat of heavy machine guns.
Because their armor is relatively thick, British and French tanks are not afraid of heavy machine gun attacks, and they can use this weapon to attack enemy positions and destroy the defenders' defenses.
The German army did not pay enough attention to tanks. It was not until the end of World War I that they hurriedly produced a tank. However, the war ended before mass production began.
However, although progress in tanks has been slow, Hans has still made quite a breakthrough in terms of other weapons!
And this breakthrough is the submachine gun prepared by the German army——MP-18 submachine guns!
The emergence of this submachine gun solves the problems faced by the offensive side during the attack.
That is, because the heavy machine guns are too large to accompany the infantry, the infantry can only rely on the rifles in their hands to confront the enemy.
Moreover, when attacking the trenches, due to the stubborn resistance of the defenders and the width of the battlefield, it is difficult for the attacking side to invest all their troops. In that case, it would be no different than giving up a life!
Investing less troops means that they are naturally at a numerical disadvantage. To make up for the numerical disadvantage, it is necessary to increase the firepower of individual weapons in the hands of the infantry.
However, the rifles during World War I obviously did not meet this requirement. The rifles of this era were long and heavy, and the shooting speed was slow. With the bayonet included, the length reached almost 1.5 meters.
A weapon of this length would be very difficult to operate in the confined space of a trench.
Therefore, frontline soldiers urgently need a weapon that is smaller, has fast shooting speed and has powerful firepower!
And this weapon is a submachine gun!
At the end of World War I, after the German army was equipped with the MP-18 submachine gun, it performed extremely well in many battles. This allowed the German army to once break through the Allied defense lines and invade Gaul. In trench warfare and street fighting, Among them, MP-18 performed extremely well!
Therefore, after the end of World War I, the frightened Gauls immediately requested the Treaty of Versailles to ban the German army from equipping and producing submachine guns, hoping to completely cut off the development path of the German submachine guns!
However, with the secret funding of Mainz, the German army's assault manufacturers and production lines have been well preserved. Since the second half of last year, the factory has quietly started to produce this kind of weapons again!
German soldiers equipped with submachine guns overcame the protection of tanks and rushed into the trenches dug by the Bolans. They fired at the Bolans in the trenches!
Although the Bolan people courageously chose to fight the Germans to the end, some Bolan soldiers even picked up rifles and prepared to fight the Germans with bayonets.
However, the Germans are not so stupid. They have submachine guns, so there is no need to fight with the Bolans with bayonets!
Moreover, the efficiency of bayonet fighting���How can using a gun be so efficient?
Accompanied by the unique chug of the MP-18, the German soldiers quickly controlled the trenches one after another, turning the Polish soldiers in the trenches into corpses and prisoners.
Most of the Polish troops stationed in the trenches died in the battle, a small number surrendered, and a very small number tried to escape!
However, their choice was unwise. After all, although the German tractor tank was heavy, it was not slow at all. Its top speed exceeded 30 kilometers per hour!
How could you outrun this guy with just two legs?
Besides, the machine gun on the tractor tank is not a vegetarian!
No matter how fast you run, can you still be faster than a bullet?
Da da da!
Following a burst of intense gunfire, a large number of Polish soldiers trying to escape immediately turned into corpses on the ground, all falling on the way to escape!
After occupying this position, the German army went non-stop and immediately launched an attack on the next Polish position!
Under the fierce attack of SH150 howitzers, tractor tanks and German troops equipped with submachine guns, the Polish army's defense line seemed to be made of paper and collapsed at the first touch!
In just one day, the German army advanced more than 50 kilometers southward from the west and northwest directions, further reducing the Polish army's encirclement.
The Polish army was now trapped within a 30-kilometer area around Pnevi!
On this day, the Polish army suffered a total of more than 200,000 casualties. Piłsudski's most elite Polish army had been lost!
In just one day, he lost more than a quarter of his troops and more than half of his movement space. If he continued at this rate, I am afraid that his troops would be completely destroyed in less than three days!
Piłsudski was disheartened and suddenly felt that he had lost hope.
The Allied forces of the Allied Powers might not be able to come to rescue him before he is eaten, right?
...
In Silesia, when the German army was advancing vigorously in the Posen area, Manstein, who was stationed in the Silesia area, was fighting extremely hard under the fierce attack of the Allied Powers!
However, compared to the despair of Piłsudski who was trapped in a tight siege, Manstein was full of hope!
In three days, they will get help!
