Chapter 1640 General Attack 4
However, at this time, life for the French was even more difficult. They continued to use the reserves that were supposed to block the Bavarian Army's general attack on the front to clear out the troops that had penetrated last night, which had greatly overdrawn the French forces. Judging from the current situation, although the opponent has been severely damaged, they have caused casualties to the French army several times their own, and at the same time they have firmly held back another large group of French troops. Xiafei can attack them in a short period of time The mobilized troops have been depleted.
But God seems to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for the French. Just when the battlefield behind was tense, with the addition of the Bavarian Air Force, the main defense line of the French army also wavered!
It has to be said that the French defense line is still very good. Last night, using the cover of night and the containment of other troops, the German armored forces penetrated the French by destroying individual supporting points and then sliding through the gaps in the opponent's defense line. The rear, but today, if you want to let the large troops rush through, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
There is no problem in tearing some small holes, but the gap is too small and it will take too long for the large troops to pass through. And if you want to destroy a large number of support points in a short period of time, the current firepower may not be enough. After successive battles on the Western Front, both sides can use civil structure fortifications to greatly weaken the power of the 105MM class howitzer. , and the number of 150MM artillery, which is a heavy weapon that a division generally equips with no more than 12 pieces, is still too small.
The Bavarian Army is very powerful in terms of armored troops and infantry equipment, but the gap with Prussia in terms of the real killer weapons-railway artillery and super-heavy artillery is quite huge. You know, in the historical Battle of Verdun, The Prussian Army pulled hundreds of 210MM heavy howitzers to the front line, leveled them and fired directly! Not to mention the dozens of train guns of various calibers, these hundreds of 210MM heavy howitzers were enough to make Ruprecht jealous.
Therefore, in the face of a relatively solid and extensive defense system, the Bavarian Army still tends to use the air force's heavy bombs to solve the problem. If 250KG is not enough, 500KG will be used! It cannot be said that it is enough on the Western Front, but it is enough to destroy all obstacles in Asia Minor!
Although cannons and long-range artillery in the distance cannot provide support, the large-caliber mortars, howitzers and a small number of cannons assigned to each support point can still be used. Together with the M1897 rapid-fire cannon, they constitute the firepower against the German attack. The Germans had the advantage, but they did not charge directly. They waited until the Air Force pulled out those key nails!
In a huge fortification, four land guns converted from 120MM naval guns are placed in a fully enclosed gun nest. Relying on a low profile and a layer of rammed earth and concrete with a thickness of about 1.5 meters, this fortification The French in the middle tenaciously resisted the German shelling in the distance. A 105MM grenade could only make a not-so-deep hole, and a 150MM grenade had very limited effect after hitting the top of the bunker.
Just now, these naval guns successfully destroyed two Wolf tanks. The strongest tanks in World War I were like paper when faced with these naval guns that could only be placed on destroyers in naval battles. Among them The turret of one Wolf tank was blown off, while the ammunition of another Wolf tank was detonated and directly exploded into parts. And just as the French were cheering their victory. Through the smoke, the God of Death in the sky has discovered this fatal nail in the path of the German army's advance!
"The dive angle is 35 degrees, and the dive speed is 180 kilometers per hour! Very good, that's it, stabilize the aircraft." The bombardier in the back seat looked at the aircraft angle meter next to him and said, this is already close to the K-6 bomber The maximum level of throwing 500KG bombs.
After discovering the target, the six K-6 bombers broke away from the formation and began to glide down from a few kilometers away. When they approached about 1,500 meters and an altitude of 500 meters, they would enter the dive bombing stage. They would fly at 35 degrees It dived quickly and shallowly at an angle, and dropped the bomb when the altitude dropped to 200 meters.
The six aircraft entered the bombing route one after another. While diving, the speed brakes on the wings of the aircraft were also opened to control the dive speed of the aircraft. When the cross in the bombardier's sight happened to lock on the bunker sprayed with flames, the former swayed slightly. Pull the handle, and with a crisp sound, a 500KG semi-armor-piercing round roars into the artillery bunker below!
This armor-piercing projectile is modified from a 350MM semi-armor-piercing projectile. After removing the cap and adding projectile wings, it becomes a powerful bunker killer! The huge bomb drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally hit it directly at a 60-degree angle!
The sharp warhead relied on huge kinetic energy to directly smash through the thick soil on the top. At the moment of impact, the delay fuse began to activate. After tenth of a second, it had penetrated the reinforced concrete layer below the rammed soil layer. The bomb was detonated, and the nearly 70KG of explosives filled inside made a deafening roar. Looking from the sky, the place where he was shot suddenly collapsed, and then a column of smoke mixed with flames rose into the sky and rushed into the sky dozens of meters high. The sound of the bunker collapse and explosion was so violent that it could be heard clearly even thousands of meters in the air.
With the arrival of the Bavarian Air Force, the Sword of Damocles hanging over the French's heads finally fell. Hundreds of bombers carrying heavy bombs repeatedly attacked the French's main line of defense. For a time, the entire line of defense was held high. Swallowed by the fireworks, bursts of violent overhead explosions shook everyone's nerves from time to time. Most of the fortifications and artillery nests that the French relied on to support the entire defense line were destroyed, and even the artillery positions behind the anti-slope positions were not spared.
"The door has been opened, and the rest is left to us!" 45 minutes later, when the first wave of Bavarian bombers dropped their bombs and began to return, the ground attack began again, and this time, the solid fortifications had been cleared. After 7788, the skeleton of the French's main defense line has been interrupted, and the remaining defense line is no longer a concern.
Hundreds of tanks, under the cover of hundreds of various artillery pieces, rushed straight into the French's main position, followed by tens of thousands of infantry and a large number of self-propelled artillery. An unstoppable torrent of steel finally destroyed the embankment in front of them and rushed forward thinking about the French. The entire defense line was torn open for several kilometers, and what was even more frightening was that at this time, Xiafei simply could not muster enough troops to seal the gap, and was even unable to deal with the Bavarian Army that stretched out its head last night. !
