HBWnovel Chapter 549 Whose Fool?
Chapter 549 Whose Fool?
Because the Crusaders' offensive was too fierce, the Wehrmacht on the first line of defense had to retreat.
But Cadis didn't mean to blame anyone, because no matter who was put up there, the same outcome would occur.
So Caddis can only focus on the armored forces.
Because Lyon secretly modified some heavy tanks to deal with the Knights of Light.
As for these modified tanks, they were urgently modified when Lyon learned that the Wehrmacht would need to face these Knights of Light at the beginning of the Battle of Kursk.
The first is the armor, because modifying the armor is too difficult.
In other words, upgrading the armor of a tank is actually a very complicated matter.
So Lyon took a different approach and chose to directly upgrade the tank gun.
Lyon did not tamper with the caliber, but made some changes to the shells.
Ordinary armor-piercing shells have been specially modified.
First of all, the original armor-piercing bullets relied on the special metal in the warhead to achieve the armor-piercing effect.
However, in order to deal with the Knight of Light, Leon completely modified these special warheads.
Special magic circles were installed directly on these warheads.
Directly doubled the penetration of armor-piercing shells.
But the cost has tripled.
But the problem is that Lyon doesn't care about that anymore.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, just take it out for a walk!
Several Tiger tanks were also modified with special armor.
No external suspended armor is used, and special metal is directly customized into armor plates.
It was welded on very simply and roughly.
The originally slender Tiger tank suddenly became bloated.
Tiger: So I got fat and you don't love me anymore, right?
As expected, fat people have no love...
On the battlefield of Kursk Plain.
The Crusaders' Knights of Light were charging forward with confidence, but they found an armored group in front of them...
For armored units, it is difficult for a curved-fire gun to pose a threat to them if its caliber is insufficient.
But it is different for flat-fire cannons. The angle formed by a flat-fire cannon and the target usually does not exceed 45 degrees.
Of course, unless the opponent is equipped with sloped armor.
But as far as the Knight of Light is concerned, where does the sloped armor come from?
These fearless Knights of Light did not choose to follow the experience of their predecessors who were bombed.
In their eyes, you have already won the victory with their first charge.
The Wehrmacht? They are nothing but chickens and dogs!
But the next second, he looked at the armored troops lined up in front of him.
The Knight of Light exploded...
As soon as he raised his head, a tank shell hit him directly in the face.
There were at least 1000 tanks in front of them...
And they were lined up in a row, and dense tank shells hit the Knight of Light directly in the face.
Before the Knight of Light could react, he was stunned by the sudden attack.
A crusader soldier followed by a knight of light rushed forward.
But they faced the armored forces directly.
The soldier watched with his own eyes as the Knight of Light was blown away.
As the Knights of Light fell in large numbers, their dense mass directly penetrated the Crusader soldiers.
Before the Crusader soldier had time to react, he was shot in two by the terrible 12.7 bullet.
The Crusaders, whose attack was thwarted, immediately requested reinforcements from the supreme commander on the front line.
Crusader command camp.
After listening to the report from her officers, Wendy Keller did not care about the nearly 100,000 casualties, but spoke without emotion.
"Don't allow anyone to retreat. Let them hold on. Send another 20 troops to the front.
We must strike while the iron is hot and smash the Wehrmacht's defenses!"
All the officers present were stunned after hearing what Wendy Keller said.
Because they couldn’t imagine how many people would lose their lives because of Wendy Keller’s words?
Wendy Keller was airdropped by the Pope himself. She is only 29 years old this year, but she has already commanded nearly 300 million troops on the front line.
He is also handsome and is one of the most beautiful men in the Papal States.
This time, he successfully commanded these millions of troops and replaced the person he most wanted to replace.
In Wendy Keller's heart, he hated Fabrice's steady approach.
In his opinion, the powerful Papal States should be able to smash everything with the force of thunder.
And Fabrice's very steady playing style disgusted Wendy Keller very much.
The Pope also wanted to replace Fabrice. Although Fabrice had more wins than losses, his steady and cautious tactics of wearing down the opponent was too time-consuming.
To use the Pope’s own words.
"Fabris is a qualified general and a qualified marshal, but he is not a qualified subject."
Because Fabrice will only execute the most reasonable plan in his mind.
Fabrice has a very complete set of ideas and theoretical systems in his heart.
Often when one is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, one must preserve one's own manpower to increase the chances of winning in future games.
But Wendy Keller was different. On her first day in office, she launched a large-scale offensive.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers lost their lives because of his orders...
And Wendy Keller also has the idea of adding more soldiers.
You know, Fabrice fought for nearly half a month, and the number of soldiers killed did not exceed 10,000.
The casualties of the opposing Wehrmacht did not exceed a thousand.
And Fabrice also launched six attacks.
But Wendy Keller's actions today directly confused the Crusaders' top leaders.
They saw the results achieved, but also the casualties...
One hundred thousand soldiers died and more than 20 were wounded.
The Crusader front lost 30 frontline combat troops.
Although the Crusaders were said to have 300 million soldiers.
But at least 100 million of them are logistical troops, and only 200 million can be called combat troops.
However, the only troops with top combat capability are the one million troops on the front line.
And within just one day, one third of the elite troops on this front line were lost...
Upon hearing the news, Fabrice, who was in his tent, sighed and then spoke.
"It seems that the accumulation of the Papal States over thousands of years is about to be destroyed in an instant..."
Fabrice could do nothing now, he could only pray that Wendy Keller would take the lives of ordinary soldiers to heart.
These soldiers are human beings too...
But would Wendy Keller really do that?
In Wendy Keller's eyes, it was her first time commanding an army of 300 million men.
I must achieve some results. Today, I have broken through the Wehrmacht's defense line at the cost of sacrificing 100,000 people.
In Wendy Keller’s eyes, this is a huge success!
But in Caddis's eyes, this was simply stupid behavior.
For the sake of a line of defense, 30% of the elite combat power was lost.
Isn't this a top fool?
