Chapter 1655: Wilderness Rangers Five (1/2)
Chapter 1655 Wilderness Ranger (5)
If there is a hasty attack, even if the French do not have a perfect artillery position, the entire battle will still enter a very difficult battle. You know, the storm battle group was not without losses in two consecutive battles, especially in the previous battle, at least a dozen armored vehicles and half-track vehicles were destroyed or injured. And behind enemy lines, the injured vehicle has no other way but to completely destroy it.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, the Major General could only give the French ”opportunities” to deploy artillery positions so that the French thought they could deploy positions in a more suitable place. In fact, when the French positions were constructed Almost, the artillery began to move out of the chaotic crowd, and when it was ready to deploy, when the French were weakest, the Germans launched the deadliest wave of attacks!
A good fighter is so important. The so-called win or half of the start is often a problem of fighters! It would be a disadvantage if the Bavarian Army rushed hard, and now, before the French front is about to unfold, the sudden attack has already made the storm battle group half the victory!
Hundreds of 40MM shells and tens of thousands of large-caliber machine gun bullets formed a wave of fire that swept across the flanks of the French artillery team. The Germans controlled the front very well. All vehicles carrying artillery and large-caliber machine guns Always keep a distance of 600 meters away! At this distance, even machine guns with tungsten alloy bullets are useless, but machine guns and large-caliber machine guns can turn the opposing vehicle and the people killed by the horse team on their backs!
The accompanying infantry also began to deploy on the two wings of the tank. They used mortars and machine guns to provide flanking fire support for the tank. The infantry also jumped from the vehicle and attacked the French position. They directly rushed to the French artillery position. There, several guns that had arrived early had been deployed, and the black muzzle was aimed at the German armored vehicle that was attacking.
Even in extremely unfavorable circumstances, the French still resisted for a full 45 minutes. The remaining French soldiers under the leadership of the officers launched a countercharge and tried to drive the German infantry out of the position. The infantry on both sides was less than 400 Crazy confrontations were launched from a distance of meters, and the roars of the German MG machine gun and the French Hakis and Sausha light machine gun sounded across the battlefield. Piles of smoke from mortars and grenades abound.
Crowds of Frenchmen rushed up with their bayonet-mounted rifles and screamed, and then turned into sloppy corpses and fell on the road of the charge. The machine guns that formed a crossfire were enough to crush any sea of people charge, shot from all directions. Bullets harvest fresh life easily.
The French artillery did cause some trouble to the Germans. The 75MM rapid-fire gun with more than 12 rounds per minute was as powerful as BT within 2000 meters! The 75MM rapid-fire gun is simply a powerful large shotgun when using shrapnel. Pieces of steel pillars swept half of the German offensive front like a rainstorm. Without bunkers, the dense grenade bombs even dented the front forcibly! Instead, the 75MM rapid-fire gun with armor-piercing shells also caused a huge threat to the armored vehicles in the distance. 1000 meters away, a truck gun was directly blown into fragments by a 75MM shell, scared the Germans immediately concentrated their firepower to counter suppression.
However, the overall disadvantage of the situation cannot be reversed solely by the bravery and skill of individual individuals. In particular, after seeing the anxious situation of the war, Major General Mike decided to abandon part of the French infantry and bring the troops to encircle the French artillery. After that, the entire battlefield situation completely fell to the Germans! Even if the French forces counterattack no matter how hard they are, they are still crushed little by little by the German forces with absolute firepower and mobile superiority. And when the battle lasted for 2 hours, except for the prisoners, there were finally no French alive on this battlefield!
”How much do we lose?” Major General Mike said with a complex expression looking at the battlefield covered in flames and smoke that stretched for several kilometers.
