Chapter 1659 Destruction 3
Chapter 1659 Destruction 3
The German troops who originally thought it was just trouble this time were like a sharp knife on the neck of the French army.
At this point, all the French troops who have entered the front line have no possibility of retreating. At least most of the heavy equipment and tanks are absolutely impossible to retreat by road. Given the stability of this tank, you want them to directly retreat. Nearly 200 kilometers? This is a bit more difficult. The truck towing the heavy artillery also did not have enough fuel to complete the last leg of the journey home.
And relying on his premonitions over the years, Xiafei can feel that the German attack will definitely begin soon! No matter how hard a small force can fight, it won't last long. If the Germans don't want their penetrating troops to die in vain, then they will definitely launch an attack immediately! And at this time, with the backup being cut off, how effective can this exhausted army in Xiafei's hands be? !
"First of all, immediately order the frontline troops to enter the predetermined positions to prepare to block possible German attacks. Secondly, let all the backup troops still moving forward immediately launch a siege on Station 3! I will give them 12 hours at most! In Before lunch tomorrow, they must retake this stronghold, and arrange enough engineers and railway soldiers. Before sunset tomorrow, I will restore the smoothness of the entire railway!" Xiafei said.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult," one officer said. "The follow-up troops lack enough tanks to serve as the spearhead of the attack, and the opponent has a large number of rapid-fire artillery. And as you know, the follow-up reinforcements do not carry many heavy artillery. The strength and suppression power of the attacking troops are very weak."
"I want to leave enough troops to deal with the Bavarian Army's large-scale frontal attack! Maybe tomorrow, we will handle the most difficult battle!" Joffre said with a sigh.
Count Schmidt did not let Xiafei wait too long. Just before the Stormtroopers launched their attack, a force composed of 200 tanks and thousands of various trucks had already embarked on the journey. They did not hide their plans and directly Turn on the headlights and drive towards the front line, which is 50 kilometers away from the starting position. After a long journey of 5 hours. (Of course, when approaching the French position, the approach must be concealed.) The leading force of the entire army has arrived at the front line and is fully deployed. When Xiafei received the intelligence that the back road was cut off and prepared to deploy a counterattack, Schmi Count Earl Te's armored spearhead has stabbed the French hard!
"There are almost no minefields or obstacles on the front, and even the defense system is very imperfect. The French position is like an egg shell, the kind that breaks when knocked!" Once again, Takami is the blade of the entire offensive force. Er said this at dawn while looking at the French formation in front of him.
This is no wonder, after all, the French army has only evacuated here for four days. During these four days, the French army needs to repair damaged vehicles, and other tanks, cars, and artillery also need maintenance. Moreover, the French army lacked the supplies necessary to establish a solid defense line.
Landmines, barbed wire and the like are simply not enough. After all, when there are not even enough artillery shells, who will transport a bunch of landmines and barbed wire from the rear? In fact, compared to the German army, those various anti-tank mines, viper wires and anti-tank obstacles made of concrete put even greater pressure on the German offensive than combat anti-tank artillery.
Facing the French 75mm rapid-fire cannon, the Germans can at least pat their chests and say that the Wolf tank is completely immune from a distance of 300 meters from the front, but no one can guarantee that the tracks of their tanks will not be damaged when they encounter anti-tank mines... …. Therefore, without any obstacles, this wave of German armored assault performed beyond the level of the entire game!
"Tank attack!" After a short period of fire suppression, a huge attack formation composed of more than 70 tanks spread out on the front with a width of about 2 kilometers. At the back, at least 50 tanks and assault guns formed the second wave of support detachment. As soon as the battle began, Count Schmidt opened fire and did not give the French a chance to breathe.
The rumble of artillery and the roar of engines broke the early morning tranquility. Although Xiafei had issued the order, the front-line troops were not fully ready for battle. The sparse number of rapid-fire artillery and machine guns on the first line of defense could not stop the powerful torrent of Bavarian steel. The mighty armored troops easily cut through the French defense line and rushed in depth. In less than 2 hours, the armored spearheads of the Bavarian Legion had easily torn through three French defense lines. If the fight continues at this rate, maybe the German army will be able to split the French army in two tomorrow!
But will the French surrender like this? Of course not! Although the French defense line did not cause many casualties to the German offensive troops, it delayed the time. Using this time, Xiafei organized all the remaining armored units and heavy artillery to prepare for a fight with the Bavarian Army in the wilderness. A massive field battle!
"Your Excellency, Commander, all our troops that can be concentrated have entered the position. All the remaining tanks and truck artillery have formed two battle groups, namely Battle Group A, which is mainly composed of light vehicles, and Battle Group B, which is composed of heavy vehicles. , Battle Group A will first assault, and then lure the enemy deep into our preset positions. Here, they will hit our defense line composed of large-caliber artillery, while Battle Group B will take the opportunity to bypass the Germans. Rear, attack from behind," a staff officer reported.
Although Xiafei withdrew all his elite troops last time, he lacked enough infantry to establish a solid defense line. Xiafei also knew this, so the so-called defense line was actually just to delay time. In the end, whether he could win this battle The key lies in the collision with the Bavarian armored forces. If everyone stretches out their posture and engages in mobile warfare, the French army will have absolutely no chance of winning.
However, the greatest advantage of the French is that they still retain a large number of naval and land artillery. The power of these killer weapons, which can easily exceed 100MM, is so huge that it can be said that all armored units on the ground are equal before them! No matter if you are a Wolf tank or an armored vehicle, you can hit the target directly!
The large-caliber 152MM naval gun converted into a land gun is too heavy. There is no way. However, there are still a large number of 120MM, 102MM and 100MM naval guns. These artillery will form the backbone of the entire preset battlefield, as long as the German tanks dare to come up! Directly stabbed to death without ambiguity!
