The Third Reich under the Ten Thousand Characters Volume 4: The Sorrow of France Chapter 18: Invasion and Defence Three
"Mr. Wei, the regiment headquarters ordered us to open up the road to attack for the Second Tank Battalion!" Francis was the radio crew of the r411 tank, and his role in his existence was to convey orders.

At this time, Sarn was worried that the tank company would lose its impact. While his company captured the first line of defense of the French army, it also caused three ii tanks to lose their combat effectiveness. These three ii tanks were hit by French 75 artillery and the violent vibration caused the tank's chassis to malfunction. In order to cover the infantry entering the trench, these three tanks did not withdraw from the combat sequence. The chassis failure slowed down their speed and then became the main targets of French artillery. Now they have turned into burning fireballs, so the tank team members simply escaped, otherwise Sarn would blame himself for his generation.
"Charge Battalion? Maximilian's Chariot Cavalry Battalion?"
"Yes, Major Maximilian's chariot battalion has reached its coordinates, right behind the slope? Damn Frenchman killed three of our tanks, r413 your side
The ii tanks have thick armor. They have to face a relatively soft road surface of earth when they break through the French army's first line of defense. This distance of about 500 meters hinders the high-speed breakthrough of the ii tank. On the soft road surface, the ii tank is receiving the challenge of French artillery. The French 37 and 47 artillery shells are constantly bombarding the armor of the shield in front of the ii tank. Although the shells cannot harm the tank, the continuous impact of the shock waves does make the tank team members feel very uncomfortable. The infantry following behind the tanks are seriously injured, and some missed shells fall into the infantry sequence. Germanic soldiers are being destroyed by the French.
The French 1907 Saint-Etienne heavy machine gun kept spitting out flames in the bunker. The steel-heart armor-piercing projectiles fired by this heavy machine gun kept hitting the front shield of the ii tank. This was definitely a big challenge for the ii tank. The armor of the front shield was constantly fired. Although there was no direct damage, the bullet holes were so shocking that people had to think about it. When the heavy machine gun was constantly fired, it was bombarded by artillery. What effect would it have?
The second line of defense has become the forefront of the French defense line. It turns out that this three-dimensional line of defense is no longer suitable for today's combat requirements. Once a small gap appears in the defense line, it will lead to the collapse of the entire line of defense. The collapse of the first line of defense is the best example.
The French army always had enough artillery and troops on the front of the defense line. For the flank French commanders, they obviously felt that the rigid German army would not give up the so-called knight showdown. However, they were wrong. Today's German army, whether it is officers or soldiers, only wins!
Boom! The sound of the 105 artillery fire is always so loud.
Saen's heart beat faster and he quickly asked which tank was hit. The answer he got was: No tank was hit and shot behind the slope.
"Hurry, boys! Our army is being ravaged by enemy artillery, advancing, advancing!!!"
The tank driver increased his horsepower, and the result was that the 3-ton II tank was doing floating movements in the original. This made the tanks grit their teeth with regret. This tank was full of firepower and extremely thick armor, but it became a negative obstacle to maneuver on special roads. The commanders learned a lesson that they could maintain speed to continue to move forward at a stable speed on the soft road. Sudden increase in horsepower would only cause the tank to accidentally have some funny actions.
——
The two particularly loud collisions really made Saen's heart beat. He saw from the observation port that a double 20 machine cannon stretched out from the front of the French army formation and opened fire quickly, and fired one by one, spit out flames from the muzzle.
"Villain, the infantry behind us were seriously injured!"
"I know, I know! This damn road! Pay attention to each vehicle crew, pay attention to each vehicle team... The target French army's machine gun bunker: free shooting!"
In order not to affect the speed of the tank advance, the 4th Forward Company's tank was not fired at all. Now they don't care whether the fire will affect the speed. If the French machine guns are allowed to continue to spit out the flames, then it is still unknown whether the tanks will have their own infantry alive when they rush to the French defense line.
The troops that Mahan only knew were also stubbornly blocked on the right side of Bena. The French broke out on the right side was the main breakthrough of the German army, so they allocated the main force to the right defense line of Bena Town. These French colonial soldiers were extremely fierce. Although these soldiers were not equipped with helmets, they continued to pull the bolts in the trench and made shooting moves. When Mahan's tank troops passed through the trench, some French colonial soldiers who were not swept to death by coaxial machine guns actually rushed directly to the tank with ammunition boxes filled with egg grenades, and then died together. The French colonial soldiers were far more fierce than those of French local soldiers!
Bai Fan was an infantry company commander. He and his soldiers were following behind the ii tanks of the 2nd Battalion. Their responsibility was to ensure the safety of the tank's flanks and rear wings. When he jumped into the first trench, Bai Fan fought with the French colonial soldiers like many Germanic soldiers. The narrow trenches could not accommodate too many soldiers in the same section, which made the German army's military advantage unable to reflect, and everything was only for the soldiers' personal qualities.
Compared with European and African races, the Asian race is relatively short. When Bai Fan jumped into the trenches, a French North African soldier rushed over with a scream. The North African colonial soldier easily kicked Bai Fan out. Just as the black soldier was about to stab the bayonet into Bai Fan's chest, a Germanic soldier headed and fought with the black soldiers.
The simplicity of the Germanic warriors is often reflected. They never look at who you are. As long as they are their own commanders, they are obliged to ensure the safety of their commanders. He felt very angry at this moment and kept yelling in his heart: Who said Asian soldiers are not suitable for hand-to-hand combat!?
Soon, he fought with a French Indian colonial soldier, perhaps to rehabilitate him, and soon stabbed the bayonet into the chest of the Indian colonial soldier. Bai Fan unexpectedly saw the Germanic soldier who had just rescued him in a pool of blood. The black soldier, who had previously stabbed his bayonet into the chest of another Germanic soldier on the other side.
"Ge! Kill my soldiers!" Bai Fan roared, and he ran along the muddy mud of blood...
"Ha!" Bai Fan jumped up, and his rifle was drawn into a magnificent line. Asians may not be suitable for the fight between hard and hard, but Asians have the advantage of physical flexibility. The leaping body rushed straight to the black soldier who turned to war. As the roar, the black soldier was knocked down by Bai Fan. The black man's eyes were very surprised, as if he was asking: Why do you fly?
Puff——A blood splattered, spraying directly on Bai Fan’s face. He pulled up the rifle that stabbed the black soldier’s chest, and only the roar of the engines advancing tanks were left around.
The Germanic warrior who had cleared the enemy in the trenches looked at the gasping white sail and suddenly issued a battle call: "Ah Huh!!!". Only the brave warriors can gain the respect of the Germanic warriors.
The second wave of tanks crossed the trenches, their faces trembled, and the soldiers' blood was boiling. Bai Fan showed a simple smile on his face, and then he shouted: We! The battle song of aspirations; German loyalty. For what, move forward? For victory!
The second wave of assault tanks were the tank company of the First Armored Regiment. The tank logo of this company not only had an iron cross battle mark, but also had a special painting on the front of the shield armor, which was a sword piercing a shield. This tank company has a glorious history. They were the first German armored force to show force to the world: in 1934, the tank company first drove through the Baynster Iron Bridge and entered the Rhine Zone, and fired the first shot of German armored forces to Belgium. In 1939, this tank company was the first wave of German armored forces attacking Poland. They broke through the Poznan defense line in Poland and participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Poznan army. In just 11 days, they advanced from the frontier of Poznan to the outskirts of Warsaw, the capital of Poland, with brilliant results. Now, they are still moving forward!
No matter how you ask the reason, there is no reason: this tank company cannot stop in front of the enemy's defense line!
The k111 ii tank is Mahan's mount. The body of this tank is full of bullet holes. This was shot out by the French 193 tank machine gun with armor-piercing bullets. The armor-piercing bullets launched by the French 1931 tank machine gun at a distance of 500,600 meters can penetrate 56 steel plates. This does not pose any threat to the armor of the front shield of the ii tank, and can only add combat merits to the body of the ii tank.
"The French army's resistance was unexpectedly blocked. The vanguard company was blocked 200 meters ahead of the French second line of defense. The 1st and 3rd tank companies were also blocked 400 meters from the French third line of defense. Tank No. 311 found that there were French 25 anti-tank guns in the town of Bena. It was initially judged as the 1934 Hachicas L anti-tank gun. This anti-tank gun can penetrate the side armor of the II tank. Its armor-piercing ability is 3040 within a distance of 400 meters. Commander, we need artillery to carry out artillery bombardment on Bena Town!"
"When will the regiment artillery battalion be able to enter the position?"
"The current location of the artillery battalion is on the east bank of the Les River, 4.5 kilometers from the town of Bena. Bena is within the range of our artillery."
"What is the coordinates reported by tank No. 311?"
"The frontiers of the town of Bena are hidden in the houses. Commander, according to the war treaty, our army has the right to carry out shelling of buildings that hide soldiers. Although shelling will cause casualties and injuries to French civilians, it is not our responsibility."
Regardless of whether it would cause civilian casualties, Ma Hancai knew the cruelty of the war more than anyone else: "Order the artillery troops to conduct intensive artillery bombardment according to the coordinates reported by 311!"
