Chapter 1661 The Last Battle 2
As the order was issued, the German forward troops began to change their formations, and subsequent infantry and truck artillery and towed artillery entered the position. They began to establish a line of defense to defend the front and right flank. The armored spearheads, including Rommel, aimed their spears at the town on the left. If the attack goes well, after taking over the town on the left, the German army can continue to advance along the flatter terrain and bypass the town. It is also possible to pass the front and right flank where there may be an ambush. Armored troops are all about flexibility. If you can't chew hard bones, don't!
The Germans' march and maneuvers naturally did not catch Xiafei's eyes, and when the relevant information was delivered to Xiafei, the latter also breathed a sigh of relief. This move of the Germans did not exceed Xiafei's expectations. Even in his opinion, it would be abnormal for the Germans to go in rashly. If the Germans' IQ and experience were so low, the French would have driven the Germans back to their homeland on the Western Front. How could they fight like this? So frightened? !
Therefore, Xiafei, who is also a master tactician, has also considered this issue and made targeted deployments. The result of this deployment is that no matter what tactics the German frontline adopts, whether you come over directly or Defend both sides and concentrate your forces to attack one side! As long as the main force of the Germans dives in, then Xiafei's tactics will all come together! No matter what the process is, the result is certain!
Because, in this small area, Xiafei has gathered no less than three digits of various body artillery pieces over 100MM! Whether it was flat or curved fire, it completely suppressed the German vanguard. So what if you discovered it later? Artillery counterattacks and armored troop retreats ultimately take time, and 70% of the damage from a surprise fire attack is determined in the first few minutes after the attack begins! No matter whether his outflanking troops are in place or not, this wave will bite off a piece of meat first!
"Start the attack!" When the last shell of the suppressed artillery in the distance fell in the town, Rommel's armored battalion once again rushed towards the French position. They always maintained a distance from the French position. At a distance of 600 meters, all the tanks began to use fierce and precise shooting to clear the remaining fire points. The machine gun bunkers and the offensive built with houses were blown to pieces under the attack of hundreds of 75MM artillery shells. Fire and smoke filled the sky over the battlefield.
From Rommel's perspective, everything was going so smoothly. While the tanks were clearing peripheral obstacles, infantry fighting vehicles and mortar groups were also in place. Groups of grenadiers got off trucks and armored vehicles to form scattered lines. The military line rushed out towards the French position in the distance, but the front and sides were very quiet. At least for now, the French did not launch a counterattack. The smoothness of the battlefield was a bit surprising, and even made Rommel feel a little guilty! However, soon, these guilty consciences became reality!
"Haha, the Germans are really careful, but this time their caution may not be of use." In a bunker, a French army sergeant looked through the telescope in his hand at the Wolf tank firing 600 meters away. , with a hint of ridicule on his expression. And the 120MML40 artillery beside him is just a footnote! Although this artillery was produced in the 1990s,
However, any weapon on land must respect the 45-pound armor-piercing projectile and the muzzle velocity of up to 660 meters per second!
Existences of this level only look at the hit and nothing else. Basically, if the opponent is hit with one shot, there is absolutely no possibility of survival! Although the Germans carefully maintained a distance of 600 meters, this distance is almost unsolvable for the 75MM rapid-fire cannon. There is no need to think about the front, and the immune area on the side is also very large (considering the comprehensive incident angle), but for the 120MML40 cannon? Haha, I will kill you even at 1,600 meters!
So, this time, Rommel's armored battalion had one foot on the iron plate. To be honest, even on the Western Front, if you want to face the flat fire of more than a dozen 120MM cannons on a not wide front at the same time, It all depends on luck. If you're not particularly unlucky, you basically can't get it!
With good artillery, you must also have good bunkers. It has to be said that people who survived three battles in World War I may not use machine guns, but at least the soil work is MAX! (Do you really think that machine guns are easy to use? Come on, historically, both the Allied and Allied Powers have had special machine gun training classes. You just need to be able to shoot with a machine gun? You don’t know how to shoot across the board, and you can’t take apart a machine gun so well that you can be called a machine gunner? ) The artillery bunkers built by the French are at the same level!
Although due to limited materials and time constraints, it is impossible to build a strong bunker, but the ones that people have made out of scratch are very good. They will use the original buildings to build bunkers and add roofs to some suitable houses. And supports, even if the building above is destroyed, the bunker below is still fine, and it is very well hidden. But now, all the French's efforts are about to be rewarded, because a complete German armored battalion and a large number of infantry, vehicles, and artillery have entered the firepower network constructed by the French's hundreds of artillery. Aim and shoot, long-range suppression are all ready!
Then? Then the dozen or so Wolf tanks at the front were unlucky first!
The so-called expert knows whether there is one as soon as he takes action. Before he hears the sound of the cannons, just after seeing the huge fireballs suddenly ejected from the cannons hidden in the corners in the distance, Rommel felt that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. !
"Release the smoke and evacuate quickly!" At this time, he was still fighting back like a fool! The power of the 75MM grenade is too small, but the shells of at least the 100MM or above cannon on the opposite side are too powerful! In an instant, Rommel's talent and experience made him make the most correct choice. The useless smoke grenades that had been left on both sides of the tank turret were all ejected with the handle he pulled down personally, and 8 rounds of yellow phosphorus smoked out. The bullet instantly formed a thick smoke screen in front of the car. At the same time, the driver skillfully shifted the car into reverse gear and retreated back along the S route!
However, not everyone has Rommel's reaction and luck. A distance of 600 meters? The cannonball flew over in less than a second! In just ten seconds, the front row of Wolf tanks were knocked upside down by the sudden attack of large-caliber cannons!
The slow but heavy roar of the large-caliber cannon was like the call of death, and it instantly became the master of the battlefield. They used their irresistible firepower to harvest the lives of each other crazily. Whether it was a tank or a truck, they were all equal before them!
