Chapter 277 Entering the Sudetenland

March!

Panther tanks, with high 75mm barrels, are at the forefront of the entire army. As the most important first armored division, their equipment will always be the most advanced.

Just when the Leopard 3 tank was undergoing the final test, a part of the pre-production model was handed over to the First Armored Division for evaluation. If there were no various technical failures, it would be finalized and then mass-produced.

As the ace tanker on the Spanish battlefield last time, Wittmann has been assigned a newest tank. Now, sitting in this tank, he is extremely excited.

This is already a 40-ton tank! Although in order to avoid external concerns, the specific performance of this tank is kept secret, but just looking at the 75mm long barrel, you know that the performance of the tank is definitely not bad.

Compared with the gun barrel, Wittmann is more assured of the protection of the armor. Almost all the extra weight is added to the protection, making this tank the most powerful tank in this era!

No tank or anti-tank gun of any kind can penetrate it from the front! This is strength!

When the tank is penetrated, the people inside are easily killed. A tank with strong protection can give the tanker the greatest confidence.

At the back, the 630-horsepower diesel engine is roaring, outputting power continuously, allowing the tank to ride on the ground.

In front of them is the Ore Mountains in the Sudeten region, and beside them is the meandering Elbe River, which is a major river in Central Europe. The upper two-thirds are all in the Czech Republic, and the lower one-third, In Germany, the convergence has become a plain, and now looking over, you can see that the rivers in the mountains are so fresh and natural.

On the mountain, there are lush trees, and in the middle of the trees are fortifications.

Opposite, is the Czech Republic! The Czechs have been building defensive lines all these years, and now, when tanks enter the mountains, they will face the threat of those fortifications!

How to deal with those fortifications?

Of course Stuka!

Now, they are the first to be dispatched, and in the air base at the rear, the Stuka bombers are also ready to set off. When they cross the border, the Stuka bombers will just fly there. If the fortifications over there dare to open fire, They'll be on the offensive right away!

The Stuka bombers dropped bombs precisely and threw them on the fortifications, while the armored corps here bombarded with heavy artillery fire, covering the infantry behind to occupy the position!

It's such a trick.

Just, Czechs, dare to do it?

Humph, they absolutely dare not!

Just like the march to Austria, Wittmann did not drill back into the tank. Half of his body was still exposed. He had headphones on his ears, which was very handsome.

This kind of vision is very good. He used a telescope to observe the fortifications in front of him. Until now, there has been no movement.

The engine was roaring, the tracks were crushing the ground, and the Panther tank finally crushed the sign of the national border and entered the Sudeten region!

Wait, what is that? At this moment, Wittmann saw the top of the mountain in the distance, and it seemed that one by one head appeared!

Is it Czech? Get ready for battle! After many battles, Wittmann was already the one with the sharpest thinking on the battlefield, and his crew was also the most experienced.

It's just that the current situation is not good.

The main function of tanks is to conquer enemy formations, not air defense. Therefore, the elevation angle of tank guns is not high. If you want to deal with those fortifications on the top of the mountain, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns should be more effective.

"They are cheering for us, that's our compatriots!" Wittmann finally saw it clearly.

The Germanic compatriots of the Sudetenland are welcoming them! Wittmann tore off his earphones and could be heard cheering in German!

This is a great moment!

The Germans who have lived here for generations have been bullied by the Czechs for the past 20 years! Every day, they hope that their compatriots will rescue them. And now, this opportunity has finally arrived!

Welcome to your compatriots!

"Compatriots, we are back! In this world, no one will bully our German compatriots again!" Wittmann picked up a loudspeaker and shouted to the crowd in the distance.

"The Munich Treaty has been signed, and the entire Sudetenland will return to the Empire!"

Countless people are shouting, at this moment, they are extremely happy, the German Third Reich is a powerful country and will protect every German!

And inside those fortifications, there is no movement at all!

When Wittmann's tank moved to the side of the fortification, he discovered that the fortification here had been abandoned, and no one was stationed here. The Czechs had already evacuated here last night!

Entering smoothly!

 …

"Our country is really in trouble."

Benes, who is in his fifties, is at the golden age of a statesman, but in the past two days, his eyes have lost the brilliance of the past and become extremely empty.

His short hair, which was originally black, has now turned white, and the whole person looks extremely haggard.

After rejecting Stalin's kindness, Benes knew that the Czech Republic had fallen.

The Sudeten region, full of mountains, is a natural barrier for the Czech Republic. Without these barriers, what would the Czech army use to resist the German armored forces?

And how could Hitler only satisfy the Sudetenland?

However, the Czech Republic cannot object. Britain and France have sold the Czech Republic, but the Czech Republic has to accept the status quo obediently. Although the Czech army has combat effectiveness, the Czech Republic cannot afford this responsibility. Will curse the Czech Republic, isolate the Czech Republic!

"The Sudetenland was lost from my hands, and I am ashamed of this country." After receiving the news that the German army had entered the Sudetenland, Benes finally said these words: "I decided to resign."

Benes had done his best, he even had a general mobilization of the war, when Germany invaded, they would take up their weapons, however, England and France betrayed them, and Benes eventually succumbed.

He is an incompetent president of the country, and he has no face to face this country!

"President, you are the only surviving founding father. At this time, the Czech Republic cannot leave you." The assistant beside him quickly said.

Benez is the backbone of the Czech Republic. He is about to resign. Who can still lead the country?

Benes shook his head, he made up his mind.
