1655 Wilderness Rangers 5
If the attack is hasty, even if the French do not perfectly deploy their artillery positions, the entire battle will still enter a very difficult battle. You should know that the Storm Fighting Group has suffered losses in two consecutive battles, especially in the battle just now, at least one dozen armored vehicles and semi-track vehicles were destroyed or injured. And behind enemy lines, there is no other way except to completely destroy the injured vehicles.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, the major general could only give the French a "opportunity" to launch artillery positions, so that the French thought they could open positions in a more suitable place. In fact, when the French were almost constructed, the artillery began to move out of the chaotic crowd and ready to unfold, when the French were at their weakest, the German army launched the deadliest wave of attacks!
A good fighter is so important. The so-called Shuangou win or lose half of the game is often a fighter problem! If the Bavarian Legion rushes hard, it is a disadvantage. Now, when the French front is about to be launched, the sudden attack has already made the Storm Battle Group win half!
Hundreds of 40mm shells and tens of thousands of large-caliber machine gun bullets formed a series of fire waves to sweep across the flanks of the French artillery. The Germans had very good control over the front line. All vehicles carrying artillery and large-caliber machine guns were always at a distance of 600 meters! At this distance, even machine guns using tungsten alloy bullets were useless, while machine guns and large-caliber machine guns could turn the opposite vehicles and the people killed by the horses!
The accompanying infantry also began to spread on both wings of the chariot. They used mortars and machine guns to provide flanking fire support for the chariots. The infantry also jumped out of the chariot to attack the French positions. They rushed directly to the French artillery positions, where several artillery arriving in advance had been deployed, and the dark muzzles aimed at the German armored vehicles that were attacking.
Even in extreme unfavorable circumstances, the French still resisted for 45 minutes. The remaining French soldiers launched counter-charges under the leadership of officers, trying to drive the German infantry out of the position. The infantry on both sides launched crazy firing at a distance of less than 400 meters. The German mg machine guns, French Haqikas and the Shawsha light machine gun roared throughout the battlefield. The smoke columns of mortars and grenades were everywhere.
Groups of French people shouted and rushed up with bayonet rifles, then turned into corpses and fell on the charge road. The machine guns formed cross-fire were enough to smash any charge in the sea of people, and bullets shot from all directions easily harvested fresh lives.
Several French guns did cause some trouble for the Germans. The power of the 75mm rapid-fire cannon with more than 12 rounds per minute within 2,000 meters is simply bt! When using shrapnel, the 75mm rapid-fire cannon is simply a large shotgun with super powerful power. The steel columns swept across the German offensive front like a rainstorm. Without bunkers, dense shrapnel cannons even sank the front line! Instead, the 75mm rapid-fire cannon with armor-piercing shells also posed a huge threat to the armored vehicles in the distance. 1,000 meters away, a truck cannon was directly blown into pieces by a 75mm shell, which scared the Germans immediately concentrated their firepower to counter-suppression.
However, the disadvantages in the entire situation cannot be reversed simply by relying on the courage and skills of some individuals. Especially after seeing the war in an anxious state, Major General Mike decided to give up some French infantry and troops to encircle the French artillery units, the entire battlefield situation completely turned to the Germans! Even though the French troops counterattacked, they were still crushed little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little. After the battle lasted for 2 hours, except for the prisoners, there were finally no living French people on this battlefield!
"How much do we lose?" Major General Mike said with a complicated expression on his face as he looked at the battlefield covered by flames and smoke that stretched for several kilometers.
"There are not too many personnel losses, but the losses of armored vehicles have exceeded half. Even if we have the lead, facing an ordinary French army, the losses are still very large. After the battle, we counted about the battlefield. It is estimated that we will kill about 3,000 enemies and capture about 1,500 prisoners. The personnel of this army are about 9,000, which means that about half of them ran away." An officer said.
"It's reasonable." The major general nodded, saying that it's understandable. After all, when the Storm Battle Group attacks, they attack at a certain point. There is no way to encircle it, so they can only defeat the war. Seeing that the situation is not good, the French will naturally run back. In theory, the Storm Battle Group can naturally pursue it with vehicles, but looking at the current situation, the major general is not in the mood to chase the French troops scattered in the wilderness.
After losing more than half of the armored vehicles and some artillery, Major General Mike knew that if his troops wanted to attack the French army in their current state, the effect would be very bad. Because the combat power had been reduced to a certain critical value. Although the troops were still mobility, what could you do if you didn’t have enough firepower? Once the first wave could not destroy the opponent and let the opponent react, let the other party react. Not to mention anything else, there would be no problem with self-protection. Once the 105mm cannon and 155mm howitzer were unfolded, they would only have gg results!
If he continues to live, he will do whatever he wants. However, this is definitely not the result that a major general is willing to accept. He began to consider what to do next!
"If it was on the front battlefield, our seizure would be a big profit." At this moment, a German officer next to him said with some depression.
"Seither?" Major General Mike turned his head and said strangely.
"Those machine guns are nothing, the key is artillery. After our attack just now, we did not destroy too many artillery, and the French did not have time to destroy them. They left at least one dozen 75mm rapid-fire cannons, 5 105mm cannons and 3 155mm heavy howitzers here. If it were on the front battlefield, we would definitely drag them back, but now, we may have to destroy them." The officer explained.
In this era, the damage to steel items by small-caliber artillery was very limited. The total weight of 40mm shells was only 2 pounds, and the explosives loaded inside were only a few dozen grams. It was enough to explode people, but it was too difficult to completely destroy a cannon. In the attack of the Storm Battle Group, the number of small-caliber artillery was the largest, so after a random sweep, the personnel, horses and flammable vehicles were almost blown, but it was reasonable that the cannons could save half of them.
