Chapter 149 The Battle of Poland (12)

The soldiers of the Westerplatt Fortress also heard about the "Oles Village Massacre" and the subsequent war threats from the German Crown Prince, which made them extremely nervous.

Are you not nervous? The German battleship Schleswig-Holstein is anchored not far away!

What if that guy suddenly opens fire?

It is a pity that Danzig is a free city under the jurisdiction of the League of Nations, and the garrison personnel are pitiful. There are only 176 soldiers and 6 officers in the fortress, 1 75mm cannon, 2 37mm cannons, 4 81mm mortars and 22 heavy machine guns.

Fortunately, they were prepared. When the battleship Schleswig-Holstein opened fire, everyone hid in the bunker, and no casualties were caused. The fortress commander Major Susharsky immediately sent a distress signal to the headquarters of the 209th Regiment on the Haier Peninsula. "Please help! We are under heavy attack from the Germans!"

"Report, the regiment headquarters has called back." After a while, the telegraph operator handed the message to Susharski with a strange look on his face.

"Your department can choose whether to surrender after 12 hours??" Susharsky read it several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he tore the telegram into pieces and spat in anger. "Go to hell and surrender!!" As a heroic Polish soldier, how could he choose to surrender? He would resist to the end! "Remember, the order from your superiors is to resist to the end." After admonishing the telegraph operator, Sucharski left the electromechanical room.

The shelling of the German battleships caused a lot of fires. In addition to guarding against the German attack, the people in the fortress had to put out fires everywhere. They were busy until about 7 o'clock in the evening, when the German shelling gradually subsided.

Looking at the dark sky, Susharski couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "It seems that the Germans are not planning to enter today. Let the soldiers eat and rest quickly. I'm afraid there won't be such leisure time starting from tomorrow."

After a busy day, the soldiers were already hungry and wolfed down military rations. "But I'm so hungry. These damn Germans actually delayed our dinner time. I will teach them a lesson tomorrow and let them know that this is very rude!" Sadr from Outpost No. 3 The monitor said vaguely with a biscuit in his mouth.

"Yes! We must teach them a lesson!"

"My machine gun can kill at least twenty Germans!"

"Me too, I will kill at least five, I bet!"

At least one battalion of German soldiers was wiped out in the crowd's heroic shouts.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering explosion startled Sucharski, who was eating in the underground command post, and he swayed a few times before he stabilized himself. "What's going on? Where did the explosion come from?"

His adjutant hurried in and reported with a pale face. "Major, outpost No. 3 has been destroyed!"

"What?!" Sucharski was shocked. "The Germans are attacking?!" After shouting, he immediately realized that he had said nonsense. Who else could be there besides the Germans at this moment? These bastards launched a night attack!

You must know that night fighting is a magic weapon for armies with low equipment levels to deal with enemies with powerful firepower. (Of course, when night vision devices become sufficiently advanced, major powers will choose to focus on the night when they launch war, using technology to crush opponents with low equipment levels.) But now the Germans, who clearly have the advantage in military strength, actually choose to attack at night?

"Get ready to fight!" He hurried to Outpost No. 2 and looked at Outpost No. 3 through the observation hole. With the scattered firelight on the ground, he could see that a big crater had been blown out where Outpost No. 3 was. "What kind of shell caused this?" The 280mm naval gun of the battleship Schleswig-Holstein couldn't be so exaggerated.

"Creak..." He didn't wonder for long before a slight sound of metal friction reached his ears. Along with bursts of friction, he felt the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly.

"Tank?" Susharsky ordered after being stunned for a second. "Prepare the anti-tank gun, turn on the searchlight!" There is a 37mm anti-tank gun in this post.

The platoon leader guarding outpost No. 2 reported. "Major, the searchlight was blown up by them!"

The sound of metal friction was getting closer, Susharski said anxiously. "Then fire the flares!"

boom!

Soon a flare was launched into the sky, and the strong light illuminated the area several hundred meters in front of the position as brightly as daylight.

"!!" The Polish soldiers in the post were stunned by the scene in front of them.

"Oh, God!"

I saw a huge body slowly advancing towards a wall. The exaggerated caliber of the cannon was unheard of and unseen.

Boom!

The gunner of the 37mm anti-tank gun almost subconsciously stepped on the firing pedal, and the shell came out of the gun, drawing a trajectory visible to the naked eye in the air, and hit the front of the steel monster hard.

Ping!

As if bitten by a mosquito, the 37mm artillery shell made a crisp sound and went somewhere unknown.

The Polish soldiers who had regained consciousness fearlessly used all available weapons in their hands to try to stop the advancement of this steel behemoth, but its defensive power was proportional to its huge body, and it simply ignored the bullets fired by the Polish soldiers. In Sucharski's horrified eyes, he slowly twisted his body and pointed the huge muzzle at the No. 2 outpost where he was.

"..." Susharski opened his mouth in despair, wanting to issue a warning, but unfortunately dazzling sparks erupted from the terrifying muzzle.

This time the Sturmtiger's aim was a little off, and only half of Outpost No. 2 was blown away. However, the Polish soldiers inside still could not escape the fate of death. The German soldiers who were lying on the ground hiding because of the flares jumped up, rushing towards the No. 2 outpost with only half left. The two iron fists were fired directly into the ruins of the ruins. Those Polish soldiers who were lucky enough to survive suffered another blow and were completely defeated.

After killing the two outposts with thunderous force, the German soldiers gathered around the assault tiger and continued to advance inward.

Outpost No. 1, Outpost No. 4, and Outpost No. 5 were removed one by one.

The Steprat Fortress, which had been holding on for nearly a week in the original space and time, was attacked by various era-defining weapons and was breached before it could even hold on for two hours.

"Okay, our mission has been completed. Colonel Fred, take your people to take over this fortress. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." After all the soldiers returned to the container, the Colonel of the Guards Reach out and say goodbye to Colonel Fred.

"This is my honor. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again." Colonel Fred said equally politely.
