Chapter 2045 Assault 2
"Advance on the flanks, clear the flanking positions, and expand the results!" The German tanks on the front stopped and suppressed the French from an absolutely safe distance, while the German tanks on both sides quickly pulled from the wedge formation to level! After all, the opponent's resistance seems to be very weak. At this time, the powerful wedge formation is a bit wasted. If you have a big advantage, just go over with A! Only the company command vehicles on both sides are equipped with radios, and the maneuvers within the armored company are completely handled through semaphores and the quality of the tank crews themselves! Sometimes I just go with my feelings!
Fortunately, the elite Bavarian tank crews, who had been trained in hundreds of battles, completed the task very well. They quickly changed their formations under the attack of the French, and then used fierce firepower to penetrate the two wings of the French army, which was originally relatively weak in defense. And attack beyond the middle. The German mechanized infantry behind them also reacted very quickly. They decisively followed the tanks on both wings and launched the attack first. This kind of flexibility is rarely seen in other German troops!
The huge Wolf tank easily crushed the French position, and the accompanying infantry also dismounted to fight when they were 400 meters away from the battle line. The machine gun team quickly set up machine guns on the flanks. Inside the platoon, they used semi-automatic rifles and grenades. Under the cover of their hands, infantrymen holding submachine guns accompanied the tanks on both sides, using dense rain of bullets to shred all French soldiers who wanted to get close to the tanks.
The intertwined firepower of tank guns, grenades and various light weapons formed an airtight fire net. They rolled back and forth in the French position like the scythe of death, quickly harvesting lives, and under the attack of absolutely superior firepower Under the attack, the French front quickly collapsed. A regiment of French troops could not even hold out for half an hour in front of a German armored battalion! And when the German tanks turned to the French regiment next to them, the other side actually retreated first!
"They actually retreated?! Do they think their legs can run over our tracks?" The Germans were shocked! Whether it is on the Balkan front or in Turkey, if it is in a flat area, whether it is the French army or the British army, when the German army breaks through the opponent's defense line, they will either choose to shrink their position and establish a ring of defense line to wait for reinforcements, or Choose to surrender, at least the latter will give the Germans no reason to continue chasing them! And choosing to run away is definitely the stupidest thing! Because exposing your back to the enemy has no meaning other than explaining what it means to seek death!
So after decisively separating a tank company and an infantry company, the main German force continued to clean up the French army on the front! And when the attack was launched, just one and a half hours later, the French division on the front completely collapsed! Groups of French soldiers were driven into the open space next to the road. The weapons and ammunition they threw away were piled up. The infantry behind helped guard the prisoners, while the armored troops on the front continued to advance.
At the same time, the armored troops on the other side also annihilated the remaining French divisions. The time was about the same, and the process was even the same! The French's combat effectiveness and will to resist were so low that even the Germans were baffled! What about the French troops who charged in dense formations with machine guns and howitzers at the beginning of the war without fear? Could it be that they are all really dead?
But no matter what, Count Schmidt, who set out in the morning and defeated two French divisions before lunch, was still in a good mood. Except for leaving a small amount of trouble to escort the French prisoners back to the rear, the main force continued to advance, and then They found two other French military divisions!
It has to be said that the first two French divisions died quite simply to buy time for the friendly forces, and the French also felt that although it was not the focus, as a flank, they still needed a few tanks. Therefore, in this battle, The Gustav Assault Group encountered French tanks for the first time!
With no cover on the plain,
The armored forces on both sides discovered their opponents first! The Germans detached an armored company and rushed towards the French, while the other main force continued to attack the French defense line. The French, after hesitating for a moment, also rushed forward, with more than a dozen Renaults known as Armored Beetles. The tank collided with an equal number of FT10 tanks and an armored company of 14 Wolf tanks!
However, this time the French proved with the wreckage and corpses everywhere that their armored units were as degenerate as their infantry units! A disorganized formation and uncoordinated attacks! The French rushed towards the German guns like a herd of bulls, and were easily beaten into burning iron boxes one by one by the opponent at a safe distance. Even if the gun uses new armor-piercing projectiles, it can only penetrate the lower armor of the Wolf tank within 300 meters. However, the French only remembered the attack distance, but did not think about outflanking and hitting the side... Maybe I’ve thought about it but couldn’t coordinate or execute it. You can't maintain the formation from the front, wouldn't it be even more chaotic if you go to the side?
The performance of the two prepared French divisions on the opposite side was slightly better than that of their previous colleagues, but their persistence was not even as long as that of their previous colleagues, because at this time, the German bombers came!
Originally, this batch of bombers was used to attack the first batch of French troops faced by the assault group. However, what I didn't expect was that the opponent was so careless. The French defense line had been breached before the large force of bombers arrived, and since If you come out with bombs, there is no reason to bring them back, so in the second battle before lunch, these German air Reapers came in handy!
Tons of bombs first landed on the French artillery position. This time, the French howitzers deployed in advance, but still did not produce output and became parts. After confirming that the French anti-aircraft firepower was almost combat After the fifth level, a large number of bombers decisively lowered their altitude and repeatedly cleaned the French rear positions with tons of anti-infantry bombs and machine guns. Amidst the fire and explosions, the French prepared reserves in echelons behind the battle line. It was broken up. At this time, the armored troops in front of the German army slammed into the French defense line!
Under the attack of bombers in the air and tanks on the ground, although the French resisted hard, they did not cause too many casualties to the Germans except destroying a few armored vehicles. About 2 hours later, the other two French divisions also collapsed. At this time, the first line of defense on the French flank has actually collapsed. If the German army goes north, it can attack the flank of the French attacking corps, and if it continues to attack west, it can rush into the rear of the French army! Is a choice placed in front of General Schmidt? It is also placed in front of the French!
