Generally speaking, artillery positions built in a short period of time are difficult to hide very well, and these things will naturally be discovered by aviation reconnaissance and then marked on the German Army's offensive line! Before the tracks of the German armored forces arrived, the accompanying 105mm and 150mm self-propelled artillery had already been put down the brackets and poured out a deadly rain of bullets towards the French artillery positions marked in the distance!

The French 105mm howitzer's position is similar to that of 75mm rapid-fire guns. According to the German calculations, about 150 150mm heavy grenades can easily cover this position. Even if they are protected by chest walls now, because the shooting distance is closer, many shells will not be used.

Several weasel-style armored vehicles rushed through the French defense line as forwards. In the dark night, the higher speed made it difficult for them to be hit by shells. They soon discovered the brightly lit French artillery positions. Through the telescope, they could even see the busy French artillery hundreds of meters away.

A few minutes later, a series of shells fell into the busy French artillery positions. The artillery in the ring-shaped artillery nest, the ammunition storage yard behind the artillery and the vehicles next to them were covered by dense bullet rains in a short time. The barrage of 8 150mm howitzers and 6 105mm cannons rolled back and forth on the narrow artillery positions. Ten minutes later, the six 105mm howitzers in the entire artillery position disappeared in the flames and smoke. Accompanying this artillery position were more than 30 various vehicles and nearly 200 Allied soldiers.

During this short and efficient attack, the German armored troops did not participate in the war! At this time, they were attacking the French army in depth, and before they could go far, Rommel and others discovered the French reserves gathering position not far behind the position!

At this time, on the front stand, the Bavarian army demonstrated the well-trained and superb night combat skills of an elite force. The tank troops tried to shrink their formation and were at the top of the offensive formation. On both sides were half-tracked vehicles and armored vehicles responsible for cover. In addition to using machine guns to deal with French infantry that could appear at any time, they also used searchlights and headlights to provide cover for the armored troops on the front, so that the German tanks at the front were always in a shadow, but at the same time, they could clearly see the situation in front!

The first thing that appeared in front of Rommel was a team of French tanks. They had just started and adjusted their formation under the guidance of the commander. More than a dozen Saint Monsa tanks and ft10 were moving in a huge body with difficulty in the night. They seemed to have also realized the crisis hidden in the night, and aimed the hardest armor and slender artillery in front of them. However, the Germans would not give them a chance in the end! The shells whistling out of the darkness easily knocked the distant tanks into piles of wreckage at a distance of about 500 meters.

The tank troops in front quickly crossed the battlefield like a comb. They cleared all the heavy weapons and firepower points that could be discovered. Then, a large number of accompanying infantry got off the half-tracked chariots and followed the tanks and armored vehicles to clear out the fleeing French infantry. Under the fierce attack, 40 tanks and various vehicles of a French armored battalion and at least 900 French officers and soldiers were lost in less than 45 minutes. Just as the tank troops stopped for a short rest, another light armored force had blown up a certain French troop station to the sky.

The whole chaos lasted for about 2 hours. When the weather gradually brightened and the German armored troops that had been fighting for a night were a little tired, both sides could take a breath. At the darkest time before the morning light came, both Germany and France decided to take a break first and prepare for the fight tomorrow morning.

The supply vehicle that came with the troops quickly replenished fuel and ammunition to tanks and other vehicles. The officers and soldiers of the Bavarian Legion were surprised to find that the French 75mm rapid-fire gun shells could be used on their own tank artillery... and then with the seized fuel, the combat effectiveness of the German armored troops was quickly restored. (Ruprecht said that the Bavarian 75mm artillery was almost an improved version of the m1897, with similar core components, so the shells can naturally be used... In fact, a very important reason for doing this is that the shells and bullet weights of the French 75 gun are very suitable, and are considered the best choice.)

"The more difficult battle tomorrow is waiting for us, and we cannot stop, because once we stop, the French can calmly concentrate several times of their troops to encircle and annihilate us. Behind the French army, which has many enemies and we are few, the best way is to move and make the French unable to catch up with us!"

"So, tomorrow, I order the wheeled armored vehicles and some semi-tracked vehicles to form a fast force. Your mission is to penetrate as deep as possible into the local area. The French's entire war zone is about 40 kilometers deep, break through them and smash the railway lines and roads. And our remaining brothers will fight a few field battles with the French in the wilderness!" The German officer in charge of commanding one of the assault groups ordered.

The Bavarian Legion made a pretty good start, and it was nothing to eliminate a large number of enemies. The key was to disrupt the deployment of the French army. They had already penetrated the defense line of the French frontier division. If they continued to move forward, the logistics units and military subordinates at the first-level of the French army were exposed to the sharp rifle of the Bavarian armored forces! If the newly-produced armored vehicle team did not entangle with the French and used their own high-speed interspers, it would not be difficult to reach the real rear of the French. If this goal was really achieved, then the supply of the entire French army would probably have problems!

Although Bavaria concentrated five troops to make breakthroughs, the five troops were relatively concentrated. They had created a fragile area with a width of about 25 kilometers on the front of the French army. Several nodes have been opened in this area. The French troops stationed in this line of defense have also suffered heavy losses. The French artillery troops supporting this line of defense have either been destroyed or shivered under German tank guns. More importantly, the entire defense line is in a state of chaos from the inside to the outside!

After the rear was caught off guard, the French fully exerted their subjective initiative, and all the reserve troops were put into battle, ready to kill the German troops interspersed in the rear of the French army. However, at night, how could the troops be transferred so easily? Take the Bavarian Legion as an example. However, the middle area of ​​3,000 meters was walking for about 40 minutes without any interference!
