Chapter 63
In just 5 minutes of bombing, the explosion of a 250-kilogram semi-armor-piercing bomb easily created a hell on earth.
The violent explosion made the underground tunnels as if the end of the world was, with heavy dust and shaking lights. The officers who were holding the phone and shouting desperately, and the inhuman fear on their faces all hit the guards' psychology.
"The end is...it's over...it's over...going over...going!"
They were completely suppressed, and under the attack of Stuka dive bombers, they had no hope of defeat.
Even the screams that the planes made them feel that the bomb seemed to land on their bodies, and they tried desperately to cover their heads with their hands and drill into every place that seemed safe.
The fierce attack caused the defenders in the Liege Fortress to completely lose confidence and completely lose their ability to resist.
In the sky outside the fortress, when the last Stuka dive bomber team completed the bombing and began to climb. He111's towed meteorite rotorgliders were thrown down one by one, and the "Air Cavalry" of the German Wehrmacht began to land.
The accurately landed "meteorite" rotorglider was not attacked, and groups of soldiers from the 202nd Regiment began to act towards their own targets.
The Stuka dive bomber team still hovered in the sky, and they were under the control of the Hawkeye guide at any time to provide accurate fire support to the ground forces.
The soldiers of the 203 and 204 regiments of the K-2 Division landed on various forts in the Liege Fortress in units of battalions and began their deadly attack.
In less than an hour, the Liege Fortress fell one after another under the joint attack of air and aircraft landing.
At this time, under the command of General Fedor von Bock, the tank cluster in the B Group Army appeared on the edge of the Maas River, and the airships in the sky simply lifted to the pontoon bridge.
In addition to the bridges that had been occupied by the German army, infantry swarmed past these pontoon bridges. Their crossing of the river was completely uninterrupted by the Liege Fortress that had fallen into the hands of the German army at this time.
The armored clusters roared and rushed towards their respective targets. As for the infantry, in addition to the motorized infantry following the armored legion, the troops that established defense lines on the ground to protect the armed legion's flanks, the transport airships carried out boat landing under the protection of air force.
The main task of parachutes of the 203rd and 204th Regiment of the K-2 Division is to open up an airborne field so that these infantry divisions can quickly complete the task of protecting the flanks of the armored legion.
In the land passage they established, there was a armored group of German B Army that was advancing rapidly forward.
Faced with such an attack, the Belgian government began to call for help from Paris and London. According to the support of the French Chief of Staff and Commander-in-Chief of the British and French Allied Forces General Gan Molin, code-named "d".
There are two plans for this plan. If the German army attacks Belgium, the French army and the British army should quickly enter Belgium and with the cooperation of the Belgian army, they should stick to the line of the Dell River.
If the German army attacks the Maginot Line, one army will rely on fortifications to defend, and one army will be used as the second echelon to reinforce at any time.
But in the eyes of the Germans, this plan was obviously outdated, because the tragic situation of the Belgian armored division and motorized division assembly area had already shown to the Allies that there would be no concept of fighting victory without air supremacy.
The third step of the Luftwaffe's Air Force is to launch a fatal blow to Belgian mobile corps after completing the air strikes at the Liege Fortress, so that they can completely lose their ability and confidence in combat.
For this goal, another German air fleet appeared in the sky. Feidi formed an air barrier in front of these air warships.
The Luftwaffe was also traveling with them, the 2nd Air Force, which was specially used to perform this mission. They have 1,500 combat aircraft and are one of the main air force in Germany.
Missions such as the He111 or the Do-17 twin-engine medium-sized bombers are mainly to destroy the opponent's air defense firepower, so that Stuka dive bombers and air warships will not be disturbed by the opponent's ground firepower when performing missions.
These medium-sized bombers have done these missions well, and the Germans have prepared a very fierce firepower for the Belgian armored cluster that has been gathered to fight against the Maas River.
The 10 air warships did not launch any Vi-S missiles, nor did they use any dandelion gliding bombs. After all, all those TV guides needed to be imported from the Chinese Federation.
But now the things they use have no technical content at all and can be continuously produced on a large scale.
Ten air warships began to launch 210 mm caliber rockets continuously. Rockets without guidance were much cheaper than the weapons mentioned just now.
In just 10 minutes of volleys, 4,500 large-caliber rockets bombed the target area in a covered bombing, instantly turning the Belgian army's desire to attack into zero.
The continuous explosion of large-caliber rockets caused the smoke and dust to rise above the target area to almost cover the sky. At this time, the flying Stuka dive bomber began to dive to death.
Because of the areas where the enemy's armored clusters were gathered, there was no guided bomb at all, and they became the main weapon they carried.
On the ground, there was a tragic situation like hell.
The incendiary bombs formed a sea of fire, and the tanks and armored vehicles were directly overturned by large-caliber shells. When these Stuka dive bombers began to dive with screams, even the gunshots of rifles were heard on the ground.
The tanks and armored vehicles were crowded in a mess, and some corpses fell scattered not far from the Warring States Period. The pilot of the Stuka dive bomber did not have to carefully distinguish the target.
Their mission is to throw bombs on tanks and armored vehicles that look good, or places that look crowded and many cars.
"Concentrate firepower to bomb until they are afraid of it until they can't fight! Compared with the confrontation in war, this is the most economical method!"
The screaming plane dropped a screaming bomb, and the fierce attack continued until the airborne troops of the 301, 302, 303rd Regiment of the K-3 Division of the Luftwaffe arrived.
When the soldiers stretched out their feet from the "meteorite" rotorglider and stepped on the ground's fiery embers to enter the assembly ground of the Belgian armored cluster, he opened his eyes wide open in surprise and asked a question slid across his mind.
"Is this still the earth? Should there be such a scene on the earth?"
Without resistance, there were almost no living people. After losing air supremacy, it was completely exposed to the fierce firepower of the German Air Force, and the armored cluster had no way to find.
The living people were still huddling in corners at this time, and the tanks and armored vehicles might become scrap iron, otherwise they would be filled with black smoke in the blazing fire.
When the war hit this point, the Belgian resistance had ended in essence. The only thing that could be rescued by British and French troops could be hoped to continue.

These comments do not come from the airship on the Bibi-Dutch border, but observe the officers' evaluations. These comments come directly from the combat room of "Xing Tianfu", and as always, the major general director of the combat room, Zhang Xueliang, who served them, is a senior officer of the Chinese Federation.
Watching with them were also the commanders of various commands, such as Rommel, the commander of the Armored Corps, or Cai E and Guderian, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the Overseas Operations Command.
Of course, the terminals of these headquarters are worse than Xingtian Mansion. However, such a good facility in Xingtian Mansion is just not attracting these guys.
The large sand table below is still a world-class miniature sand table. The large screen on the wall plays scenes detected by the "Wanglou" from the Bibi-Dutch border, and shows the progress of the combat in the form of animated military maps.
On the other side, there are the real-time progress of the battle and tactics. On the other big screen, there are pictures taken by war correspondents from the Chinese Federation on the battlefield.
The person who just came to the conclusion was Jiang Baili. As a military minister of national defense, he prefers to stay in the war room of Xingtian Mansion, although the owner here is not him.
The officers acted in an orderly and accurate manner, which would make people mistakenly believe that they were in the staff of the German army. But here is Xingtian Prefecture of the Chinese Federation and the military heart of the Chinese Federation.
Its owner is General Fritz Erich von Manstein, who is the chief of staff of the Chinese Federal Defense Forces.
Cai E and Guderian all feared Xing Tian Mansion as hell. Or they wouldn't be afraid of hell, but they were just afraid that Tang Yunyang would fall in love with them and stuff them into this deadly place.
Soldiers like them prefer to command their own legions to fight. Compared with this place, they would rather go to various combat commands at lower levels to act as commanders.
As long as they can go to the battlefield, even if they see Manstein, there will be no problem. Of course, they don’t have any army in their hands during peacetime, but since the war is coming, their hands will not be empty.
Jiang Baili looked at the various military units that had been arranged on the sand table. He narrowed his eyes and said in his heart.
