However, Major General Mike is still very confident about his combat effectiveness. The source of this confidence lies in the armored vehicles and truck cannons in his hands, but in the half of the French division artillery he just picked up from the battlefield! Three 155mm howitzers and 5 105mm cannons plus relatively sufficient ammunition, this is not a joke!

Although according to the latest information, there are at least 1,000 garrison troops in the opposite station, and there is an infantry regiment station next to the station, for the strengthened Storm Battle Group at this time, it is still a complete firepower advantage on its side!

"Prepare to launch an attack! Don't save shells, suppress the opponent as soon as possible." In order to follow Major General Mike's order, under the cover of night, the artillery position was specifically pushed forward to the front line, and the artillery that was originally used for long-distance suppression was directly pressed against the Frenchman's forehead. And at the darkest moment of the day, the third battle of the Storm Battle Group finally started!

"What is this?" A French sentry was bored and staring at the dark night. Suddenly, the fire suddenly rose in the night caught his attention. At a distance of about 4,000 meters, a ball of flame rose from the ground. A few seconds later, a huge explosion came from a bunker 500 away from him! A pillar of smoke rose up in the air and shattered the entire bunker. Without looking, you can know that a 75mm rapid-fire cannon and the gun crew on duty hidden in this bunker were completely finished!

"This is a large-caliber artillery! It is at least a 155mm level artillery, and it is definitely not a mortar!" As a veteran on the Western Front, the sentry immediately judged the opponent's firepower level from the power of the artillery. From the opponent's range and the approximate flight time of the shell, he could tell that this should not be a mortar. The mortar's range is not long, and the shells are flying very slowly!

An inexplicable fear surged into my mind. The troops that could have 155mm-level artillery were at least at the division level. "Can a German division rush to our hinterland like this?!" A terrible guess slowly emerged from the sentry's heart.

"Maybe a small German army brought a 150mm self-propelled howitzer?" The soldier tried to comfort himself. After all, this time they were facing the Bavarian Corps, which had a large number of self-propelled cannons, so it is possible for the small army to occasionally bring a large caliber howitzer?

However, the subsequent continuous roars of heavy artillery tore the last little fantasy of the French into pieces! The fierce firepower of the eight medium-caliber artillery cannons instantly covered the positions that the French were deploying on the outside of the station. The subsequent rapid shooting of the 75mm cannon, which was as dense as a bean, completely shattered the French's will to resist.

After all, not all French troops can resist in adversity. To be honest, the two combat qualities and will to resist that Major General Mike encountered before were still very strong. Although the sneak attack at night was a crushing situation, it was based on sneak attacks and absolute firepower. How strong can a division-owned guard battalion have? It is normal for the infantry regiment to come afterwards to face ambushing with artillery above the brigade level. Although the battle was won during the day, it also collapsed the major general. Although the French lost, their performance was still above the level.

But tonight, the Major General was lucky. He encountered a unit with not very high combat power and a small number of people. The so-called garrison of 1,000 people, about half of which were railway soldiers and engineers. These people were good at building railways, but if you want to talk about combat power, it was just at the same level as the kitchen squad...

The fierce artillery fire instantly suppressed the few French artillery and machine gun positions. The temporary shelter made of sandbags, stones and logs could not stop the attacks of artillery of various caliber. The defense line established by the French hastily turned into ashes in the waves of fire.

Under the cover of machine gun fire, German infantry, which had approached more than 300 meters away from the French position, launched an attack, and quickly harvested the lives of the remaining French troops with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles between the ruins and the trenches. The scattered lines gradually tightened like nooses, and finally surrounded and annihilated the French.

The entire battle did not last long. The French infantry regiment next door began to prepare for reinforcements, but was also driven back by fierce fire. This was just an ordinary infantry regiment. The number of 75mm rapid-fire cannons was not enough for 8. Even when the latter realized that the station could not be saved, he took the initiative to retreat and temporarily opened the distance. So, less than an hour later, Major General Mike and his staff stepped onto the station.

"It seems easy." An officer said, standing among the ruins.

"When you have 6 75mm rapid-fire gun companies and 2 howitzer companies, it will definitely be easy to attack a station with less than 1,000 people defending. The French cannons have helped us a lot." Major General Mike looked at the battlefield with satisfaction.

"However, our battle has just begun. Tomorrow, we will face the French who are pouring in like a flood! So, we must build a breakwater immediately now!" said the Major General.

According to the law of conservation of RP, although the German army quickly captured this crucial station, there was not much heavy equipment and ammunition in the station to supplement it. Most of the transported shipped in this wave were oil, food, and various tents. There were some ammunition, but not many.

But at this time the German army could not take care of anything else. In this last period, the Germans built a new position based on the French positions, and at the same time used buildings, carriages, locomotives or all other things that could be used as obstacles and bunkers. At the same time, the Major General also sent a telegram to Earl Schmidt about the successful plan. A large network has been unfolded and will eventually be closed!

This was two consecutive nights of sleep that had been woken up. Xia Fei, who had just fallen asleep for only 2 hours, was once again called out from the bed. The general who was very angry was originally trying to find a punching bag and was furious, but when he saw the information, he felt a ray of air conditioning directly rushed from the tailbone, and instantly turned into cold sweats. His brain, which was already a little confused, woke up immediately. Even his hands holding the telegram were trembling slightly.

"It's really terrible now!" A thought popped up from Xia Fei's heart. He even regretted that he could not directly retreat to the beach. If he evacuated directly, he could at least save some people!
Chapter completed!
