1661 The Last Battle 2
With the order issued, the German vanguard troops began to change their formation, and subsequent infantry, truck guns and traction artillery entered the position, and they began to establish a defense line to defend the front and right wing. The armored spearhead, including Rommel, aimed the spear in his hand at the town on the left. If the attack went smoothly, after the German army took the town on the left, they could continue to advance along the flatter terrain and bypass the front and right wing where there might be ambush. The armored troops were flexible, so don’t chew the tough things if they could!
The Germans' march mobilization naturally did not penetrate Xia Fei's eyes. When the relevant information was sent to Xia Fei, the latter also breathed a sigh of relief. The Germans' actions did not exceed Xia Fei's expectations. In his opinion, it would be abnormal if the Germans were ruthless and went in. If the Germans had such a bad IQ and experience, the French would have driven the Germans back to their hometown on the Western Front. How could they be so scared like they were now?!
Therefore, Xia Fei, who is also a master of tactics, has also taken into account this issue and made targeted deployments. The result of this deployment is that no matter what tactics the German front line adopts, whether you come directly or defend both sides to concentrate their forces to attack one side! As long as the main force of the Germans plunges into it, Xia Fei's tactics will be alive! No matter what the process is, the result is certain!
Because, in this small area, Xia Fei concentrated all kinds of official artillery with no less than three digits of 100mm, with no less than three digits! Whether it is flat or curved firepower, it completely suppressed the German vanguard. So what if you find out later? Artillery counterattack and armored troops retreat eventually take time, and 70% of the damage of the firepower surprise attack is determined in the first few minutes after the attack begins! Regardless of whether your encirclement troops are in place, you will bite off a piece of meat in this wave!
"Start the attack!" When the last shell of the suppressed artillery fell in the town from a distance, Rommel's armored battalion rushed to the French position again. They always maintained the distance between them and the French position. At a distance of 600 meters, all tanks began to use fierce and precise shooting to clear the firepower points left behind. The machine gun bunkers and offensives built with houses were blown into pieces under the attack of hundreds of 75mm shells, and flames and gun smoke filled the battlefield.
In Rommel's view, everything went so smoothly. While the tanks were clearing out the periphery barriers, infantry fighting vehicles and mortar groups were also in place. Groups of grenadiers came down from trucks and armored vehicles, forming scattered lines to rush out towards the French positions in the distance, and the front and sides were very quiet. At least from the moment, the French did not launch a counterattack. The battlefield was a bit surprising, and even made Rommel feel a little guilty! However, soon, these guilty thoughts became reality!
"Haha, the Germans are really careful, but this time their caution may not be useful." In a bunker, a French sergeant looked at the wolf-style tank that was firing 600 meters away through a telescope in his hand, with a hint of sarcasm on his expression. The 120mml40 cannon beside him is a footnote! Although this cannon was produced in the 1990s, any weapon on land must respect the 45-pound armor-piercing bomb and the initial velocity of up to 660 meters per second!
At this level, only look at hits and not anything else. Basically, if you hit it in one shot, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving the opposite side! Although the Germans carefully maintained a distance of 600 meters, this distance is almost unsolvable for the 75mm rapid-fire cannon. There is no need to think about the front, and the immune area on the side is also very large (considering the comprehensive incident angle), but for the 120mml40 cannon? Haha, kill it for you to see 1600 meters!
So, this time, Rommel's armored battalion was put on an iron plate. To be honest, even on the Western Front, if you want to face more than one or more 120mm cannons on a not-wide front, it depends on luck. If you are not particularly unlucky, you will basically not be able to encounter it!
With good artillery, there must be good bunkers. I have to say that those who can survive three battles in World War I may not use machine guns, but at least the local work is max! (I really think machine guns are easy to use? Please, in history, both the Allies and the Allies have special machine gun training classes, and you can just sweep the machine gun? If you don’t know what to do with a leapfrog shooting, you can’t dismantle the machine guns so you can call the machine gunner?) The French artillery bunker repairs are also of the same level!
Although due to limited materials and time hastily, it is unlikely to create a strong bunker, but it is also very good to make it simple. They will use the original buildings to build bunkers and add ceilings and support to some suitable houses. Even if the building above is destroyed, the bunkers below are still fine and are hidden very well. Now, all the efforts of the French are going to be rewarded, because a complete German armored battalion and a large number of infantry, vehicles, and artillery have entered the firepower net formed by hundreds of artillery guns of the French. They are ready to aim and suppress from a distance!
Then? Then the dozen wolf tanks walking in the front were in trouble first!
The so-called expert knows whether there is anything at all when he takes action. Before he hears the sound of cannons, just after seeing the huge fireballs suddenly spewed out of the cannons hidden in the corners in the distance, Rommel felt his heart almost jump out of his chest with a thud!
"Release smoke and evacuate quickly!" At this time, it was like a furry counterattack! The power of the 75mm grenade was too small, and the cannons with at least 100mm on the opposite side was too powerful! In an instant, Rommel's talent and experience made him make the most correct choice. There were useless smoke bombs on both sides of the tank turret accompanied by all the handles he pulled down by himself. The 8 yellow phosphorus-type smoke bombs instantly formed a thick smoke screen in front of the car. At the same time, the driver skillfully put the car in reverse gear and retreated to the back along the S route!
However, not everyone has Rommel's reaction and luck. A distance of 600 meters? The shells flew over in just one second! In just a dozen seconds, the row of wolf-type tanks in the front were knocked over by the large-caliber cannon that suddenly attacked!
The slow but heavy roar of the large-caliber cannon was like the summoning of the god of death, and instantly became the master of the battlefield. They were crazily harvesting each other's lives with irresistible firepower. Whether it was a tank or a truck, they were equal in front of them!
