Chapter 1638 General Attack 2

However, what the French could not imagine was that except for correctly guessing the time of the initial German attack, none of their other inferences were successful... The Germans launched the attack at 6 o'clock, which is true, but their firepower preparation was very short, and they charged directly! However, the effect of the hard rush was so good that it took 20 minutes to defeat it, and it only took half an hour to pass through the zone between the two lines of defense! When the attacking troops passed through the middle zone, the howitzers behind the Germans had already begun fire preparations... The attack speed is incredibly fast!

"General, we must use long-range artillery and air force to support the main line of defense. If the main line of defense is lost, then we will have no danger of defending. Even if reinforcements are in place, we can only fight a field battle with the Bavarian Army! And the result is undoubtedly a disaster. Sexual!" At this time, in the French army headquarters, a French legionnaire said loudly.

"Then our rear is still a mess. The Germans have been moving. They are containing us and consuming us as they move. If we expose the remaining artillery positions at this time, we will definitely be directly destroyed. The artillery positions have almost no defense. His ability can’t even block his opponent’s casual blow!” said another officer next to him.

"Wait a minute. Last night, the German assault troops just passed through under the cover of night. Today, if most of the Germans want to pass, they will have to destroy at least fifteen large firepower points and support points. I also deployed reserve teams behind these support points, and they can hold on for at least 3 hours." At this moment, Xiafei's brain was spinning rapidly, calculating the progress of the enemy and ourselves. In the end, he chose Trust the defenses you deploy for a while.

At this time, while the main offensive force on the front was crossing the middle zone and heading towards the main line of defense, the breakthrough force that crossed the French defense line last night had already fought with the French reserve team, and the two sides were fighting in the open wasteland. There were thrilling fights one after another!

"Your Excellency, Colonel, the Germans are here! They are about 3,000 meters away from us at three o'clock! Fifteen minutes ago, they just defeated the 7th Cuirassier Battalion! We can catch them off guard just in time!" The French officer pointed to the distance where thick smoke was billowing.

"Very good, all tanks and truck guns are ready to attack, and let the infantry follow our attack." Colonel Narr commanded an armored battalion and an infantry battalion. He and his men once faced the Prussian armored charge on the Western Front, and what he was best at was using towed artillery as a defensive shield to offset the opponent's attack, and then use the armored iron fist to inflict heavy damage on the opponent when the opponent was exhausted. A blow!

The principle is very simple, but the actual implementation is different. First of all, your defensive position must be well-selected. The battle defense artillery must be deployed on the opponent's offensive front line, and the deployment time of artillery and infantry must be considered. According to Narr The colonel's experience, according to the German organization and his experience on the Western Front, is that after destroying a French armored battalion, they need at least half an hour to an hour to repair the tank and replenish ammunition.

Therefore, after referring to the experience on the Western Front, Colonel Nal boldly asked the infantry battalion behind to deploy artillery 1,200 meters away from the opponent. Then his armored troops would attack and actively attract the opponent to attack his combat artillery. Collide on the front line!

"Are our 15th Dragoon Battalion and the two accompanying infantry battalions on the flank in place?" Colonel Narr asked. It has to be said that after more than a year of fighting, the French also have something commendable in terms of tactics. For example, the organization reflected on the battlefield this time. This time the French invested in a special combat unit called the Annihilation Group. . This is specifically designed to deal with battalion-level armored units with powerful armor.

An annihilation group consists of two armored battalions, a rapid battalion and two infantry battalions. Among them, a stronger armored battalion and a rapid battalion form the A battle group to serve as the vanguard. Their task is to contain and consume the opponent, while the other Battle Group B, composed of an armored battalion and two infantry battalions, while the former pinned the opponent, chose a suitable time to attack it, forming a pincer-like offensive.

Group A has strong anti-armor strength and high mobility, and can easily bite the opponent, while Group B is strong and is a balanced force, serving as the main force that ultimately eliminates the opponent. It relies on such tactics, The French army has defused the attacks of the Prussian Army on the Western Front again and again, and this time, Colonel Naar wants to repeat this scene with the Bavarian Army!

But what the French didn't expect was...

"Holy shit! Are you coming?!" The Germans reacted much faster than the French expected. After just destroying a French armored battalion, Rommel's troops immediately aimed their attack at the enemy that had just appeared. In the Nar battle group on the side, before the German tanks rushed over, when the French towed artillery was entering the position, the 150MM and 105MM howitzers located behind the German army were the first to hit!

This round of shelling, which was not intensive, caused the French to look wilted! It is impossible for the German heavy artillery to hit here. You must know that the 6-inch cannons common in this era cannot hit 20KM. However, when the French were about to deploy their troops, a series of 6-inch artillery shells flew out from the horizon. What was the problem?

Artillery shells exploded in the advancing French army, like flowers of death composed of flames and gunpowder smoke. Tens of thousands of shrapnel shot out radially in all directions. In the first round of artillery, The artillery shells exploded directly into several segments in the French formation, which was like a long snake formation! Although the absolute casualties caused by this round of attacks were not high, it is a pity that the entire war situation has irreversibly tilted towards the Germans!

Because the French infantry units began to try to avoid the artillery fire, they were unable to deploy in a short period of time, and the two sides were no more than 3 kilometers apart at this time! Not counting the fighting distance of about 1 kilometer between the two sides, the Wolf tank of the Bavarian Legion can put its muzzle on the Frenchman's head in just ten minutes at most!

"Rush up and stop them! Send a telegram to Battle Group B immediately and ask them to attack immediately! Damn it, the German assault troops are actually carrying heavy artillery!" Colonel Nall said decisively. His order was decisive and the most decisive at the time. The right choice. If you can't stop your opponent at this time, then the entire battle group A will soon be overwhelmed by the rolling torrent of armor.
