The decisive battle in Amiens was almost beyond everyone's expectations. The Allies did not expect that the Germans would have such fierce artillery fire, and the Germans did not expect that the British Air Force could bomb themselves like this! In just one day, the Royal Air Force

No less than 400 tons of bombs were dropped on the battlefield near Amiens, covering targets ranging from artillery positions, logistics depots to transportation trunk railway hubs.

New York and other various military targets. For the first time, the war was fought from the third dimension. The air force had just become one of the key players in the war and its power and ferocity were reflected! Of course, while achieving brilliant results, the Royal Air Force

Hundreds of aircraft of various types were lost in one day, including nearly 20 precious V1500 heavy bombers, which really made the Royal Air Force feel heartbroken!

"Can the Air Force guarantee that the other side's bombs will not fall on our heads?" Hindenburg asked anxiously.

"This is impossible. We never thought that the British Royal Air Force would be so strong. They concentrated almost all their aircraft to attack us, and our fighter units either suffered heavy losses in today's battle or are still in the rear.

.More importantly, we

We lack enough aviation gasoline. Although we own oil fields in Romania, our fuel reserves have dropped rapidly since China almost cut off its refined oil exports to our country. And we don’t know how long this situation will last." said the staff officer beside me.

He said carefully.

"Damn it, we prepared a lot of heavy artillery and hoarded a lot of supplies in order to capture Amiens, but all of it was reduced to ashes in yesterday's bombing!" Hindenburg said a little discouraged. Just as he was thinking about the next step.

How to do it. Another thing that was beyond the expectations of the Germans happened. The British and French armies actually took the initiative to attack. They gave up their defense. They wanted to take advantage of the German army being stunned by the bombing to launch a counterattack!

"The Royal Air Force stated that it will continue to maintain this intensity of attacks until the Germans are completely destroyed!" When Robert received the guarantee that the Royal Air Force would continue to maintain the intensity of its air strikes, the Allied leaders in Amiens finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yesterday

The performance of the Royal Air Force was really good. After three waves of bombing, almost all the German Army's artillery was misfired or destroyed. They were either moving their positions or were forced to cease fire due to lack of ammunition. The British and American artillery began to bombard.

The German positions were closed.

The British and American counterattacked, and a large number of wheeled armored vehicles rushed out of the position under the cover of infantry and artillery fire. The Royal Air Force did not break its promise. Before the British and American armies launched a counterattack, a large number of V1500 and O400 bombers and various fighter jets began to attack

Bombing and strafing of German positions, but the situation today seems to be very bad. After being bombed on the first day, the German Air Force concentrated its full strength

To implement defense, even the bombers originally performing bombing missions were used for interception. The 13mm large-caliber machine guns equipped on them posed a great threat to the Royal Air Force, and that was not all. The anti-aircraft firepower was reconfigured.

The German anti-aircraft artillery units also posed a serious threat to the Royal Air Force's bombers. After all, if you want to hit it accurately, you have to fly low, and if you fly low, you will be hit by the anti-aircraft artillery!

Although a large number of bombers were dispatched, the effect today was obviously not comparable to yesterday. And today's losses were even higher. In just one morning, the Royal Air Force's losses were almost as much as yesterday.

Especially the precious V1500 bomber, the Germans even did not hesitate to use ramming to attack this aircraft that poses the greatest threat to the ground! More than one German fighter jet still couldn't put this oversized clothes rack to use after firing all its bullets. Then,

Decisively crashed into the opponent's wing...

The battle in the air can be described as crazy, while the battle on the ground can be described as tragic. For the first time, the British and American troops used actual actions to prove the fragility of wheeled armored vehicles in frontal battles. After all, the forum is not a track, but only through trenches.

and lei

On the battlefield, these fast but very fragile wheeled armored vehicles made a fool of themselves. After paying a certain price and with the assistance of artillery and engineers, the British and American teams cleared passages. The Germans

Anti-armor firepower finally showed its power.

The roar of anti-war artillery was also mixed with a large number of dull sounds. This sound was very small and could hardly be heard in the background of the battlefield. However, the British and American troops on the front line could not ignore these killers. Facing the British and American

Wheeled armored vehicle troops, the German army urgently strengthened a large number of 15mm anti-tank guns for front-line troops! This heavy rifle using tungsten alloy hard-core armor-piercing bullets can be used at relatively short distances.

It penetrated the side armor of the armored vehicle. Many M2 wheeled armored vehicles were assassinated by this weapon. At one moment, a US gunner was preparing to aim at a combat anti-cannon attack, but at the next moment, a round was fired from the side.

The bullet hit the side armor hard, and then carved a small hole. The long warhead directly broke the gunner's body. The remaining kinetic energy even killed the loader next to him.

Although the Luftwaffe tried its best to organize ground support from the Royal Air Force, a large number of ground attack aircraft still used machine guns and small bombs to cover and support the ground troops' assaults over and over again. Even at the risk of being shot down by fierce anti-aircraft fire on the ground,

no matter what

. Anti-aircraft guns of various calibers and 15mm large-caliber machine guns weave into a dense fire net at low altitudes. Among them, the 37mm rapid-fire cannon and 15mm machine gun are the most famous. These two anti-aircraft weapons turn quickly and are extremely concealed.

Even when the other party opens

Before the fire, the attack aircraft pilots did not know that there was a deadly killer hiding nearby. One of the aircraft had just used its machine gun to suppress the German troops in a trench. Just as it was pulling up to leave, it suddenly stretched out from the bushes behind it.

Take out a long barrel. A

The fire snake bit the tail of the plane fiercely, and the powerful 15mm machine gun bullet directly smashed the entire tail into pieces, and the out-of-control plane plunged into a bunker next to it, and the entire bunker and the plane melted together.

for a huge fireball.

Although the attack was frustrated, the British and American coalition forces still launched the attack stubbornly. The flames emitted by the 50mm and 75mm artillery swept away the exposed fire points. They were in no hurry to advance. Anyway, the German heavy artillery was suppressed by their own artillery and the Royal Air Force.

Yes, the attacking troops stay longer.

It doesn't matter. Under the cover of the armored vehicles in the front, a large number of infantry followed up and then set up machine guns, mortars and various light artillery to suppress the German defense line. They kept a distance and used their firepower and mobility advantages to slowly consume the opponent, like a rolling disk.

Slowly crushing the opponent has become the main task of the British and American coalition forces at this stage.

Facts have proved that this tactic is quite effective. Anti-tank guns cannot penetrate the front armor of armored vehicles at long distances. Once the Germans open fire, the exposed fire is enough to destroy the anti-tank group. Often the anti-tank guns have just fired.

Two bullets, and there will be several tongues of flame covering the entire target area.

The Allied Powers concentrated a large number of armored vehicles to repeatedly attack several key points of the German army. Although combat anti-aircraft artillery and half-track anti-aircraft artillery could often achieve a record of more than 1 to 3, under the huge Allied Powers

With the numerical advantage, the defense forces in the breached area were quickly depleted.

Frontline generals repeatedly asked Hindenburg to invest precious armor. However, facing the Allied Forces, which had superior artillery and military strength, Hindenburg hesitated because he knew that the armor in his hands was what Germany could mobilize at the moment.

This is the last armored cluster. Once it is gone, then

There was really no chance. Not only could Kruger be unable to save him, but the main German force that had lost its armored spearhead would be like a tiger that had lost its teeth. So Hindenburg rejected the frontline commander's suggestion to mobilize armored forces and instead tried

To counter the Allied attack through mobile deployment of combat artillery.

But it is a pity that Hindenburg's efforts were once again disrupted by the Allied artillery. When a German army tried its best to drag the anti-war artillery for transfer, the screams from the sky turned the entire road into a hell.

First, a biplane spotted the German troops crowded on the road. Then the pilot informed the situation through a transmitter to a long-range artillery unit on standby.

The troops were beaten by German artillery for so long, and the Allies also learned a lot. Among other things, they at least encouraged the opponent's positions in a decent manner. Each breach was blocked by the Allied long-range artillery.

It looked like an isolated island under the plumes of smoke and flames that filled the sky. Coupled with the fierce attack by the Allied Forces from the front, the defense forces on these isolated islands were quickly exhausted.

However, although the Allies gained a field advantage, this powerful offensive greatly overdrawn the potential of the Allies. The irrecoverable losses of a large amount of technical equipment caused Britain and France, which had just made great progress after a winter of replenishment, to once again fall into

suffered intense attrition. After two consecutive days of high-intensity combat, the Royal Air Force bore the brunt of the losses, with fighter squadrons being beaten one by one.

The extremely powerful V1500 bomber with the highest hatred value suffered heavy losses. There was even a situation where a heavy bomber squadron had no aircraft that could continue to be used after performing a mission for 2 days. The remaining bomber squadrons were also uncomfortable.

If you look at the cockpit of the fuselage that is full of bullet holes and bloodstains, and then look at the wings and fuselage that were riddled with holes, you will know how horrific the two days of fighting were.

Next is the armored forces of the United Kingdom and the United States. The attack on the second day not only caused the loss of a large number of vehicles, but also lost a large number of trained crew members. Under the attack of anti-armor weapons, the number of personnel in the wheeled armored vehicles

The member survival rate can really be described as a tragedy, narrow and sideways

The lack of protection in the cockpit cannot prevent shrapnel from killing and injuring the people in the cockpit. Often when a car is hit, it means that the four people inside have gone to report to God. If the vehicle is damaged, it can be pulled back for repair, or replaced with another one.

There is no way to replenish the new vehicle on the battlefield if the man is gone.
