Chapter 2063 Destruction II
"Concentrate firepower on the artillery and infantry units!" With the order issued, a brigade of bombers whizzed down and dropped tons of bombs on the French army who were trying to escape in all directions on the ground. Accompanied by bombers circling and dropping bombs over the British army's marching formation in turn, the violent explosion blasted the British army's marching formation into several sections! The British soldiers fled crazily amidst the shrapnel like a storm. They threw away their rifles and loads, and tried their best to run towards the seemingly safe corner of the road, but most of them were still harvested by the death that fell from the sky. No matter how much the officers tried to maintain discipline, these people who had lost their position in the sudden blow would not stop half a step.
The British naval artillery showed extremely high quality. These veterans who had participated in many naval battles calmly drove vehicles or drove horses trying to drop the artillery off the roadbed, and kept as far away from the ammunition vehicles behind them as possible. At this time, anyone can dodge, but only the people in the heavy cavalry cannot, because once these horses are not restrained by people, they will really be unable to deal with them under panic. The German ground attack is about to start, and These artillery pieces were the last resort of the British army.
While the continuous bombing continued to kill and hinder the defensive deployment of the British army's main force, the detoured German forward troops had already fought against the British army's flanks. If in the previous rearguard battle, the British army could rely on its numerical advantage to make two gestures with a German armored division, then now, the British ordinary infantry division is no match for the German fast division at all!
Facing the hastily launched British army, under the cover of 4 assault gun battalions and 18 more self-propelled artillery companies, the German fast division launched a wide-frontal attack, rushing towards the opponent like a raging tsunami, and the British flanked The hastily deployed anti-tank guns were directly exposed to the firepower of the German army. The old and vigorous Wasp assault gun was handy when facing such an opponent. With the 75MM artillery constantly spraying deadly flames, the British army in the distance The 15-pounders and 18-pounders were destroyed door by door. The accompanying 120MM heavy mortars also dropped tons of grenades on the British infantry positions. In the distance, the 150MM self-propelled howitzers and infantry guns accompanying the attack also began to suppress the deep firepower of the British army, with a range of up to 10 kilometers, completely covering the waist of the British army's marching ranks!
The fire net composed of direct firepower and curved firepower kept cutting the position, and the barrage continued to roll back and forth in the British army's position, bringing a bloody storm. It is not that the British are not prepared to fight back, but in this situation where there is no position to rely on, facing the fast division with high mobility, strong firepower and strong defense, and the uninterrupted air strikes of the air force overhead, the British army cannot organize effective resistance at all!
"Keep moving forward." With the order of the target, the Wasp assault gun ran over the blood-stained ditch and continued to attack in depth. Behind them was an infantry fighting vehicle equipped with a large-caliber machine gun and a company of Stormtroopers. With the deepening of the offensive, the German army further expanded the front line, and part of the original complete assault artillery battalion was also assigned to the infantry separately. According to the previous experience, at this point, the battle has entered the stage of chasing death and chasing north. The enemy on the opposite side should have given up resistance, and the only thing left is to harvest.
However, this time, the German army was still facing a complete British army. In addition to the three elite divisions defending behind, Hamilton also left some property for himself. At that time, this last elite force came in handy.
The most elite Australian and New Zealand infantry plus the remaining long-range heavy artillery and all the last tanks, Lord Hamilton made a desperate attack on the dispersed German army! After breaking up several German teams one after another, this battle group code-named Dragon Slayer was targeted by the Germans!
"The last backbone of the British.
"Looking at the rolling British armored force in the distance, Lieutenant General Hall said. "Tell the brothers, we are going to interrupt them today!" "Afterwards, Lieutenant General Hall, who commanded the entire assault force, personally commanded the armored reserve team to rush towards the British in the distance! At this time, the British also discovered this fully equipped armored force. The British knew that, Their time is running out. Although their troops carry a large number of anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns for air support, they will be consumed by the superior German army sooner or later. They only have one chance to kill the opposite German army and then deter the opponent. Put off the time to make plans at night!
This was a real encounter. On the battlefield covered in gunpowder smoke, when the two sides found each other, they were already very close. Both sides were also eager to attack. The British had no time to perfect their formation, while the Germans were even more decisive. Tanks and armored vehicles passed directly by A! The tanks and assault guns on the front bit the British tank troops tightly, while armored vehicles and half-track vehicles quickly passed from the two wings, attacking the artillery and infantry behind!
"Damn! We can't penetrate them!" At a distance of 300 meters, a 57MM shell was bounced off the front armor of a Wolf tank again. In desperation, they watched the German tank not far away slowly turning the turret and aiming at themselves, but before the opponent opened fire, a series of 2-pound shells suddenly tore the MK1 from the side The side armor of the tank killed the personnel inside without the British noticing.
The MK7 self-propelled artillery located at the rear of the British army tried its best to attack the German wolf tanks in the distance. A round of armor-piercing shells weighing more than 10 kilograms roared and flew into the distance. The last point of support, however, these artillery guns did not survive for too long after being targeted by the German army. A series of grenades and heavy mortar shells roared down, and more than one MK7 tank was directly hit or paralyzed by near misses. . Amidst the pillars of fire and violent explosions, the British were terrified, and they began to try to retreat. However, at this moment, a group of armored vehicles penetrated the British army's defense line and appeared in the smoke!
More than a dozen 40mm machine guns slammed into the flanks of the British army with their characteristic sharp howling sounds. The side of the MK7-shaped tank was opened, but the 10mm steel plate could not stop the fierce attack of the 2-pound armor-piercing projectile. First of all, a The rear ammunition depot of the chariot was hit, and the remaining dozen armor-piercing rounds were directly detonated! Accompanied by a huge flame rising, the rear of the entire chariot was smashed by the bomb! After the gunpowder smoke cleared, only the front of the burning car body remained in its rough shape.
