Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Chinese Imperial Rebellion successfully carried out a beheading operation, destroyed the Nazi Supreme Command of the United States in one fell swoop, and successfully achieved the strategic goal of splitting the United States through the instigation plan. This move shocked the whole world, and the awe of the Chinese Empire increased sharply.

    The biggest blow was naturally the German Third Reich, which was also in the camp of the Nazi Allies. Hitler cried bitterly for several days after learning that Roosevelt was killed and the United States was disintegrated into thirteen countries.  Hitler was sad to lose Roosevelt as a Nazi comrade, but what was even more sad was that the German Empire lost a strong overseas supporter.  The destruction of the United States left the German Empire completely alone. Facing the powerful European offensive of the United Nations led by the Chinese Empire, Hitler felt powerless for the first time.

    For Hitler, he would not give up until the last second when the enemy pointed a gun at him. This character of his doomed the German Third Reich to a disastrous defeat, but it also became the basis for Nazi Germany¡¯s desperate effort to develop asymmetric power.  A shot in the arm.

    ¡°Conduct a nuclear test explosion within a month, otherwise all those involved in the nuclear program will be executed!¡±

    Hitler ignored the pleas of Deputy Head of State Rudolf and a group of military and political officials and resolutely issued a death order.

    Of course, this cannot be blamed on Hitler, he was also forced to do so.  After all, in the past two months, the United Nations has successively won the Battle of Rouen, the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of the Ardennes on the battlefields of Western Europe.  The coalition forces won three battles and three victories, annihilating Rommel's 220,000 German mechanized troops in Rouen.  On the Somme River, the 310,000 German mechanized and semi-mechanical troops commanded by Blomberg were crippled.

    In these two major battles, the coalition invested 1.7 million troops, used 150,000 aircraft sorties, 8,000 tanks and 50,000 artillery pieces to completely wipe out the most elite troops of Nazi Germany.  The German army lost one-third of its mechanized troops.

    ??The Battle of the Ardennes launched by the United Army at the end of August defeated the 200,000 German mountain combat troops personally supervised by Heinrich in one fell swoop, and captured the Maginot Line, once proud of the French.  The main force of the First Army of the Imperial Chinese Army broke into the German mainland, captured most of Lorraine, and destroyed all the German heavy industrial facilities there.  This made the German army, which was already resource-strapped, even worse, and the blow to the German army was fatal.

    The United Army achieved three victories in three battles on the French battlefield in Western Europe, and the same was true for the third European battlefield opened by the Allied forces in Southern Europe.

    After Italy surrendered, Hitler ordered the German army to capture most of Italy. This move not only failed to stop the Allied Forces' landing offensive in Italy, Greece and other southern European countries, but also caused the German army to further disperse due to the capture of major Italian cities.

    The most fatal thing about the German army is the lack of support from the navy and air force.  The Mediterranean Task Force consists of the Imperial Chinese Navy's Mediterranean Fleet and the British Royal Navy's Third Fleet.  Provide powerful naval and air force fire support to the joint military forces landing in Italy, Greece and other places.  Italy is surrounded by sea on three sides, and Greece is mostly surrounded by the Aegean Sea. This created a fatal loophole for the German defense forces.  Under the powerful firepower of the coalition forces, the German army suffered heavy losses.

    The number of coalition troops landing from southern Europe quickly increased to 700,000, while the number of German troops in the region was declining sharply, with less than 100,000 troops.  In addition, the German army was losing ground on the battlefields of Western Europe, and the German army was forced to withdraw its troops from southern Europe and return to defend its homeland.  In this way, the coalition forces quickly gained comprehensive advantages in the land, sea and air forces in southern Europe, with the cooperation of local guerrillas.  The coalition forces quickly recaptured all of Italy and Greece.

    In the Eastern European battlefield, although the Soviet army was severely damaged by the German army and lost its offensive capabilities, the Armenian army, which was fully armed by the Chinese Empire, and the Turkish army, which was strongly supported by the Chinese Empire, showed their talents.

    After the Soviet army was damaged, the Chinese Empire believed that the Soviet Union would not pose a threat to the Chinese Empire for the time being, so it began to actively launch attacks on the battlefields of Eastern Europe.

    As a die-hard ally of the Chinese Empire.  Armenia became the first country to equip the Chinese Imperial Army with armed helicopters.  After the powerful armed helicopters were equipped to the Armenian army, the combat effectiveness of this small country's army with only 200,000 people soared sharply. Its combat effectiveness was so strong that both Britain and France were ashamed.

    With its strong combat effectiveness, and with the Chinese Empire fully responsible for logistical support, the Armenian army launched successive campaigns such as the Battle of the Don River, the Battle of Nikolayev, the Battle of Solma and the Battle of Napoka, defeating the German army in southern Ukraine.  The main force of the 14th Guards Armored Division and the elite Romanian First Army liberated southern Ukraine and northeastern Romania within a month.

    At the Battle of Napoca.  The Armenian Army's 1st Armored Division met head-on with the German 3rd SS Armored Division, and the most brutal tank battle to date broke out between the two sides.

    Since the Napoca area is an important oil supply area for Germany in Romania, if it is occupied by the coalition forces, the German army's oil supply will be reduced by more than half.  Although Germany has??The development was successful and coalified oil was actually produced.  But at this time, the German air superiority was gone. The strategic bombers of the Chinese Empire bombed the German mainland indiscriminately, causing damage to many German coal-based oil plants and leaving them in a constant state of emergency for fuel.  If Romania's oil is lost again, most of the German mechanized troops will be reduced to infantry.

    Therefore, when the Armenian army invaded Romania, the German army was determined to resist to the death.

    On the Napoca Plain, the 1st Armored Division of the Armenian Army unexpectedly encountered the 3rd Armored Division of the German SS.

    Both troops are equipped with powerful main battle tanks.  The Armenian Army is naturally equipped with the Imperial Chinese Army's standard main battle tanks M36 King Tiger and M28A3 Cheetah, as well as the M35 Hound light tank and W30 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. The various equipment are reasonably matched, focusing on assault firepower and speed, while also taking into account certain  Defense.  The German 3rd SS Armored Division was equipped with the Maus giant tank and the No. 6 Tiger tank. It focused on assault firepower and defense, but it lagged far behind in terms of speed.

    The powerful firepower of the Maus tank once caused a fatal attack on the Armenian army tank assault group.  In the first round of confrontation, the Armenian army lost twelve tanks, while the German army only lost four tanks.  This is mainly because the Armenian army underestimated the enemy. In previous battles, the Armenian army was invincible with its m36 Tiger tank and had no opponent at all.  But after encountering the German Maus tank, the main gun of the M36 tank was unable to penetrate the Maus tank's armor at all.  On the contrary, the Maus tank's huge cannon caused fatal damage to the M36 tank with one shot.

    Soon, the Armenian army adjusted its tactics.  Take advantage of the mobility advantage of your own tank troops to penetrate the Maus tank's shooting blind spot before attacking.  The Maus tank was too bulky, and its steering and shooting were very clumsy, making it difficult to lock on to rapidly maneuvering enemy tanks.

    However, the armor protection of the Maus tank is too strong.  Although the Armenian army avoided the loss of its own tanks.  But it is difficult to destroy the Maus tank.  Since the German army was in a defensive posture, it was covered by German artillery groups from the rear.  The German tanks did not take the initiative to attack at all, so the Armenian army failed to lure the enemy to attack many times.

    The two sides struggled for a week, but neither could do anything to the other.

    Since the United Army plans to launch a comprehensive attack on the German mainland from the southeast and northwest before the end of October, the Armenian army is tasked with cutting off the German army's crude oil supply and must capture Napoca before then.

    to this end.  The Armenian military specifically requested help from the Chinese imperialist side.

    For the powerful German Maus tanks.  The Chinese Imperial Army encountered several Maus tanks during the Silesian landing battle and had a certain understanding of them.

    After that, the General Staff of the Chinese Empire immediately ordered the relevant departments of the empire to start researching ways to crack it.  Hard work pays off, and war is always the catalyst for new technologies.  Beiyang Technology quickly came up with a solution. They developed special tank gun ammunition specifically designed to attack heavily armored tanks.

    The shaped blast armor-piercing projectile is a more powerful armor-piercing projectile developed by the Chinese Empire after the stabilized fin discarding sabot projectile. It is specially used to deal with ammunition for heavy tanks and solid fortifications.

    The armor-piercing bullet was successfully developed based on the most basic principle of the Monroe effect.  The Chinese Empire had conducted relevant research as early as the early 1930s. However, because the most powerful tanks in the world at that time were only available in the Chinese Empire, scientific researchers encountered resistance from the military when conducting research in this area, because the military  The ministry is worried that this technology will be acquired by hostile countries and used against their own army's main battle tanks.

    but.  Despite the boycott, Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industries continued the development secretly.

    However, at that time, the effects of the Monroe Effect could not meet the needs of the military.  So Beiyang Technology added a metal funnel-shaped charge cover to the cone of the explosive. In this way, the energy of the explosive after the explosion acts on the hollow funnel cover. The metal close to the charge cover is quickly melted and closed, and is absorbed by the explosive.  The energy 'presses' it into a high-speed, high-temperature, high-pressure metal jet.  The head (fastest) speed of this jet can reach 7,000 to 10,000 meters per second, and the temperature can reach 1,100 degrees.  Not to mention high pressure.  Plus the metal itself.  When the tank armor encounters the impact of these three heights, it is like mud under a high-pressure water cannon, with overwhelming force, flying down, doors opening and other adjectives simply prepared for them.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that after breaking through the armor, the metal jet will not rest on the spot, it will continue to move forward at high speed!  Coupled with the splash effect after breaking the armor.  The next step is to destroy the equipment in the car and kill the passengers.  If it hits an artillery shell or a fuel tank, the fuel tank will catch fire and the ammunition will explode, resulting in a "secondary kill effect."

    The Chinese imperialists immediately obtained a batch of experimental armor-piercing bombs from Beiyang Technology and handed them over to the Armenian military for actual combat.

    September 3rd.  The Armenian Army's 7th Tank Regiment once again fought with the German 113th Tank Brigade.  This time, the tanks of the Armenian army were equipped with broken weapons.Attack with bullets.  As a result, after one battle, the German army lost 33 Maus tanks, while the Armenian army only lost 7 M36 tanks.

    On the battlefield, there was only a small hole in the appearance of the huge Maus tank, but even the turret was blown away. This was a horrific masterpiece of the secondary effect of the armor-piercing projectile.

    Armenia used a new type of armor-piercing projectile for the first time to achieve victory, and the German army's proud myth of the undefeated Maus tank was once again broken.

    In the following days, the Armenian army attacked across the board and fought with German tank troops.

    On September 7, the German 3rd SS Armored Division was completely wiped out on the West Dort Heights, and the last dozen or so Maus tanks burst into flames.

    On September 10, the Armenian army captured Napoca, completely cutting off Romania¡¯s crude oil supply line to Germany.  (To be continued)
