It was later confirmed that Major General Mike did kill a French division headquarters, but within 6 hours after the battle, other French army units did not receive this information. The radio equipment of the attacked troops was destroyed at the first time, and they did not even send a telegram for help. So much so that the other French troops did not expect that a unit would go around the rear like this! While the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army and the Fourth Infantry Division were having breakfast, the Storm Battle Group had already encountered the guard troops on the flanks of the French marching ranks!

"The army is a bit small," Major General Mike said, looking at the information sent by his subordinates.

"It's normal. When the French started the war, the division-level organization was not large, with a total organization of only about 14,000, while one of our divisions was between 18,000 and 20,000. Now, since the war has been fought, it's already very conscientious to have 11,000 people in a division." said the staff officer next to him.

"That's just a few people?" Major General Mike estimated that the French army in front of him was only 10,000, and what about his hands? Including the chariot troops and infantry, there were about 4,500 people, and there were very few logistics units, plus the equipment advantage. Well, considering that the other party was not accompanied by heavy armored vehicles, what else could he say? Just crush them directly!

It has to be said that Major General Mike chose a very good position. His target was the French infantry troops. A large number of artillery and baggage units were isolated behind due to the obstruction of the terrain. The French artillery could not directly aim and shoot at their attacking troops. However, if it was just grenades, it would not be a great threat to armored vehicles. Some people suggested directly attacking the artillery and baggage troops, but the plan was subsequently rejected.

Because the artillery of the Fourth Infantry Division did not take the railway, but followed the troops. As a French military advisor, even if the scale is reduced now, it is still fine to get 40 to 50 body-barrel artillery. The passage to attack the French logistics forces is not good. The terrain is too narrow. As long as the French can unfold more than a dozen artillery, it will be very difficult for the offensive troops. After all, armored vehicles are fixed if they are stuck with shells... The high-fire rate of French 75-speed fire cannon is not a joke. So, in the end, Major General Mike decided to attack the infantry and then seize the opportunity to give the French artillery troops a fatal blow. After all, the French artillery must not be able to see their infantry doom like this, right? If the artillery cannot enter the position and is in a moving state, it will be the best target!

So, while the French were having breakfast, a large number of armored vehicles and trucks appeared on the horizon. Because it was a daytime attack, quickly receiving the enemy was the key, so this time, under the cover of armored vehicles and smoke bombs, the truck had to send infantry to a position of about 400 meters, which was almost the limit shooting distance of the mechanical aiming rifle. As for the machine gun, what should I do? Naturally, there were armored vehicles responsible for cleaning up.

"It's the Germans! They are here!" The guarded cavalry on the outside discovered the Storm battle group as soon as possible. Some of them quickly went back to report, while the remaining people immediately dismounted and prepared for the battle.

"God, the Germans actually created a unit of armored vehicles and trucks!" Looking at the figure looming in the smoke in the distance, the French exclaimed.

The weasel-style armored vehicles that formed the first wave of impact did not seem to take the French seriously at all. They were still moving forward at full speed, and behind them were half-tracked vehicles. These about 30 half-tracked vehicles were the only personnel transport vehicle with armored protection in the entire army, carrying the most elite infantry of the Storm Battle Group.

Behind the armored transport vehicle are hundreds of trucks carrying the main force of infantry. There is no way, the number of armored personnel carriers is insufficient. The headquarters can allow the soldiers behind to pass by directly in broad daylight?

The battle with the French police force was very fast. Dozens of French soldiers were torn into pieces without even holding on to the dense rain of bullets before they even 5 minutes. The sound of gunfire in the distance and the warning from the investigators made the main force of the French army realize the arrival of the enemy. They threw away the things in their hands, took out the rifles and bullet bags next to them, and then hurriedly deployed a loose line of defense along the camp under the command of the officer.

More than 5,000 meters away from the French army, all the trucks stopped, the chariots dropped their cannon hoes, while the gunners jumped off the chariots and took one round of full loadings from the ammunition trucks behind. The 82mm and 120mm mortars had to get closer. The 120mm mortars were about 3,500 meters away from the French army's defense line, while the 82mm mortars were only 1,500 to 2,000 meters away from the French army!

On the front, more than 30 armored vehicles began to gather their formation to form an offensive spearhead. On the armored transport vehicles on both sides, the machine gunners had already completed the installation of large-caliber machine guns. They will unfold on both sides to cover the attack of the troops. The howling mortars broke the tranquility of the battlefield. The French in the distance had begun to design the blocking. Fortunately, they did not have medium-caliber body-barrier artillery. These scattered shootings with a somewhat close range and poor accuracy could not stop the advance of the German army, but instead exposed their position! When the distance between the two sides was close to about 1,200 meters, the storm assault group that had been silent suddenly poured into dense firepower on the heads of the French like a volcano eruption!

Truck cannons and large-caliber mortars in the distance first smashed tons of shells on the front line of the French. Then as time went by, the firepower of the entire group of guns began to extend backwards. The horses and vehicles, who had no time to disperse, turned into fragments directly in the flying shells.

The Germans' attack speed was still too fast, and the preparation time for the French was too short. It took only less than half an hour from the detection of the Germans' attacks from the Germans' attacks. Even though the Germans did not suppress them because they were worried about insufficient ammunition, the French still did not carry out decent fire resistance.

How can the machine guns that were hastily mounted on the ground resist the large-caliber machine gun bullets and rapid-fire cannon shells that were fired in the face? The raindrop-like shells kept rolling on the front of the French position, turning the hastily constructed blocking position into a sea of ​​fire. The armored vehicles slowly approached the position under the cover of the half-tracked vehicles on both sides, and the powerful firepower easily suppressed the opponent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the subsequent trucks began to drop the infantry on their loads. Under the cover of the mg machine gun, the infantry troops alternately covered and charged towards the French position! The entire storm battle group slashed at the French like a wide-blade axe!
