Chapter 2052 The Strongest Wave 2
"General Xiafei, our flank breakthrough is not going smoothly. The Germans have designed flank and reverse attack positions in advance. We must allocate part of our troops to deal with these assassins hiding in the dark, and the number of troops used for outflanking is If it is not enough, the German armored units have also come up as reinforcements, and their Hu Feng assault guns have made up for the holes in the German defense line." An officer reported to Xiafei.
Although Joffre was dismissed from his post due to the defeat in the Eastern Mediterranean Theater, this time, at France's most critical moment, he once again returned to the battlefield and commanded France's most elite armored forces to resist the German attack. In fact, , Xiafei, who is pretty good at it, already knows the outcome of this battle and even this war! Whether or not the French would win the battle didn't actually matter.
The Germans had formed an unbridgeable penetrating wound on the French defense line. Even if they were blocked from the front, it was absolutely impossible for the main army commanded by Foch to seal the wound. So what if the Germans lose a game? Wouldn't it be enough to give it another shot? And to be honest, Xiafei, who knows the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Army, can be sure that his old opponent did not put in all his strength, otherwise the current defense line would have collapsed! Now Joffre can be said to be fighting for his own dignity and the glory of the French Republic!
"It seems that we still lack the decisive force to make a final decision. With all the Saint Mengsha tanks deployed, we have only one chance, or less than an hour! The German bombers are coming again, and We don’t know where our fighter jets are yet!” Xiafei ordered.
As a result, like ancient heavy cavalry, the most elite armored forces of Germany and France met each other from the front. A battle group composed of Wolf tanks, Hu Feng assault guns and Rhino self-propelled artillery and the French Saint-Montcha self-propelled anti-tank Cannons and FT10 tanks faced each other tit for tat. This time, the French did not seek to get closer. At a distance of 1,200 meters, the roar of the thick and long 105MM cannon resounded through the battlefield. The special sound that made the Bavarian armor plate familiar and at the same time terrifying. Everyone's heart tightened!
The two sides fought each other bloody in the first round of shooting. At least 8 Wolf tanks were hit in less than a minute. The luckier ones hit the walking part instead of the body, and they could still use the main gun. Continue to fight, while the unlucky ones will be directly penetrated by the heavy M armor-piercing bullet. After being hit, the 105MM armor-piercing bullet will easily cut a huge wound in the armor plate, and then continue to penetrate deeper. If nothing happens, it can directly engage the tank. There was a close contact between the engine or the ammunition compartment at the rear, and then, in a few tenths of a second, the entire tank released all its energy in an instant like a volcanic eruption. A huge fireball shot into the sky, throwing more than ten tons into the tank. The chariot tore into pieces and scattered the fragments within a radius of several hundred meters!
The experience of the French Saint-Montcha chariot was even worse. They had no defense and even the 40MM rapid-fire cannon could easily penetrate the frontal defense of this powerful weapon, which was only a 15MM steel plate! Even if the shells fired by the accompanying German 150MM heavy mortar did not hit directly, the Frenchmen sitting in the tank cabin would suffer heavy casualties! On the battlefield, the hit of any artillery shell fired by the Germans would cause the French to feel pain. When facing the French's last stand, the Germans also used full firepower. All vehicles, including machine guns, bravely They will use their combat skills, weapons and courage to completely overwhelm their opponents!
"A bunch of lunatics!" A French officer saw with his own eyes several German armored vehicles quickly coming out of the smoke, and then crashing into the queue of the Saint-Montcha self-propelled artillery that was moving on the side, less than 200 meters away. Above, the 2-pounder gun on a German armored vehicle fired rapidly, and a series of shells drew a dangerous arc in the air.
Then it fell on the French station car. The first few shells destroyed the running equipment of a Saint-Montcha, and the other two shells detonated the ammunition compartment located at the rear.
The Germans who succeeded in one blow had no idea of giving up when they were ready. These small and fearless guys bravely walked through the queue of French tanks and shot, until they were finally broken into pieces by shells fired from all directions! Before being destroyed, these four armored vehicles used their own rapid-fire guns and machine guns to kill at least 8 French tanks and self-propelled artillery, and at the same time, they also dragged no less than a company of French soldiers with them!
"They didn't know how to be afraid, they didn't know how to retreat, and they didn't even seem to have any tactics. They rushed forward without fear. Our number was several times or even ten times greater than theirs, but they were like knights rushing toward a windmill. Without fear, all they did was fire the last shell before being destroyed!" A Frenchman recalled the scene at that time.
The battlefield quickly developed into chaos. Gunpowder smoke and deliberately released smoke greatly hindered the judgment and vision of the officers and soldiers on both sides. Coupled with poor communication, many armored companies no longer received orders from the top half an hour after the battle. They fought independently, found the enemy, and then destroyed them.
"God, I seem to have returned to the battlefield of the Cold Weapon Age. The only difference is that the fighting between the two sides has changed from the swords and guns of the Cold Weapon Age to modern tanks. The battle lines of the two sides have been completely twisted together. Shooting wildly from a distance of several hundred meters or even less than a hundred meters, the armored forces of both sides, like giant beasts, are constantly fighting on the battlefield, and the battle lines change very quickly. A bomb dropped may affect both the enemy and ourselves." A German bomber pilot This is how I described the scene while flying over the battlefield.
Xiafei guessed right, German bombers would arrive soon, and just as the two sides were fighting on the ground, the second batch of German bombers arrived. However, looking at the already chaotic battlefield, a large number of K6 and K8 bombers began to They are frantically attacking the French support troops, and the modified K4 interceptors are also using intensive machine gun fire to attack the French self-propelled artillery or light tanks, and the latter may be more damaging to the French troops than bombs. .
"Hurry up. The brothers on the ground are waiting for our support. They are being attacked by a superior number of French troops. I have a hunch that if this battle is fought well, we may be able to end this war that has lasted for more than 2 years. It's a ground battle." The captain urged his crew members.
Subsequently, more than 300 aircraft of various types roared and swooped down from the sky and pounced on the French legions on the ground!
