Chapter 2035: Trial is coming three (1/1)
”When the artillery fire became sparser, we launched an offensive. On a front less than 50 kilometers away, we gathered 35 infantry divisions to launch the first wave of offensive. When the attack order was launched, more than 30 storm assault battle groups The attack was launched under the cover of Xu Jin’s barrage. Hundreds of Hufeng-type assault guns and rhino self-propelled artillery lined up a loose line. Beside them were a large number of half-track vehicles. They were not close to the opponent’s position. At 200 meters, the infantry began to disembark from the rear hatch of the half-tracked vehicle. We took submachine guns and grenades into the French trenches under the cover of machine guns and artillery.”-”Commando Diary”
The expected fierce battle did not occur. The German tracks and boots easily ran over the outermost cordon and the first line of defense, which had been bombed by shells several times, except for sporadic gunshots. In addition to the remaining opponents on the opposite side, the rest of the German infantry feels like marching. Of course, if the road is better, it will be more like it. The terrible terrain will bring more trouble to the German army than the French army. Still big! In this way, the Germans crossed the second and third lines of defense, and then they paused, waiting for their comrades in the back to follow!
And when the German army reached deep into the French army's position, the real confrontation broke out between the two sides. At this distance, the French army avoided the dense German mortar fire. At the same time, the heavy howitzer began to calibrate the attack distance to a farther position. This was an area that was not covered by key areas, and more French soldiers survived. Therefore, the sharp guns of the German Army and the French defense line took the first place. A fierce collision!
At a distance of 500 meters, the French 75MM rapid-fire gun fired first, followed by a large number of Hatch case machine guns and Shaosha machine guns. Dense bullets hit the thick frontal armor of the Hu Feng-style assault gun, sparks splattered, and the chariot at the forefront quickly stopped, and then aimed the 75MM rapid-fire gun at the distant bunker! Along with orange-yellow flames flying out of the muzzle, smoke pillars shot out from the French army positions in the distance.
A large number of machine gun nests are like paper paste in front of 75MM shells, and a small number of reinforced bunkers are given to the rhino self-propelled artillery behind. This type of semi-open battle room, front and side armor can only defend against large-caliber machine guns and The shrapnel tank is not suitable for charging at the front line, but he has a huge advantage that allows him to have a place in the storm commando. A powerful M cannon is enough to break most of the bunkers it encounters. If you can't make a shot through it, then hit a few more shots. At a distance of meters, the Rhino self-propelled artillery becomes the most reliable bunker opener!
Facing this first line of defense worth fighting, the German commando took a posture. From the machine guns and assault guns in the front to the heavy mortars in the middle and the heavy howitzers in the rear, they were cleaned again and again in dense shells. When the French army was in the position, a group of German soldiers rushed into the trench along the gap torn by the fire, and the submachine gun in their hand quickly harvested the opponent's life!
On the ground, intensive machine gun fire and grenades dared the French into the trenches and support points, while the commando soldiers who entered the trenches used submachine guns and grenades to clean up the French soldiers isolated in the trenches. The beating muzzle and yellow-orange-orange bullet shells flew out of the ejection port. Another group of French soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The Germans jumped over the corpse and continued to advance along the trench.
It's not that the French didn't think about counterattack. They bypassed the front and launched a counterattack under the cover of the side attack and the downside position. In the absence of artillery, try to destroy the majestic steel behemoths from the side with grenades or explosive bags. However, the 20MM machine gun and large-caliber machine gun deployed on the side of the position and the half-tracked vehicle easily smashed the opponent's counterattack. The leaping lines of fire were intertwined into a large airtight net, and the French were instantly crushed like moths throwing fire into pieces. As a result, these half-tracked vehicles carrying large-caliber machine guns and machine guns received a nickname—Armored Companion, or Knightly Rescue.
After the loss of sporadic armored vehicles, the German Army smoothly crossed this line of defense. In their view, although the French resisted bravely, but on the whole it was very ordinary. The kind that had fallen into a deadly battle before and repeatedly fought in the trenches. The scene did not appear. With the passage of time, when the last French army gave up the weapons in his hands, the position finally changed hands.
”The French counterattack was very weak. I completed today's advancement plan in only 6 hours, which is about 12 kilometers! We can move on. Before night comes, we can go forward about 4 kilometers. ”An officer said to Rommel, who has become a colonel.
”Contact with other troops, let us unite our footsteps, don't leave any gaps on the front, we are already going to win, and there will be no difference between day and day~~ Rommel said.
”But Mr. Colonel, this is different from your style. Didn't you always emphasize speed and continuous oppression before?” the officer said unexpectedly.
”The situation is different now. The emphasis on speed is to let the opponent have no time to organize defenses. Now, our artillery is constantly bombarding the opponent's transportation network, and our air force allows all enemies who dare to be exposed to escape. They It’s already very difficult to mobilize troops, and we have already won. At this time, I just hope that some sacrifices can be reduced so that more soldiers can return home with the joy of victory. Now, we only need to fight steadily and ensure that we will not come out. The question is fine.” Rommel said very easily.
This is indeed the case now. When the German army used overwhelming heavy artillery and air force to destroy and suppress the French artillery group, the French position has indeed been cut and fragmented. The German army has continued to bombard and air aviation at all costs. The suppression of forces made all the reinforcements of the French army very weak.
You know, this time the Germans are not attacking a complex defense system like Verdun that has been built for decades, nor is it a mountainous area where the terrain has a huge bonus. This is plains and low hills. The so-called fortifications were also dug out by the French. The strength is limited. Although it is the first day of the war, the remaining battles in the frontline area have almost been finalized. That is, the Germans cleared the position step by step until the Germans After passing through the French position and surpassing most of the German heavy artillery support!
