"Let's go on our Saint Monsa tank!" With the order issued, the most powerful self-propelled flat-fire armored unit in the French battle appeared in front of the Germans for the first time! Like the German beetles, this French self-propelled cannon was also installed with a long-barreled cannon of more than 100mm. The French finally moved the m                                                                                

In terms of appearance, this tank is somewhat similar to the Su76 tank destroyer in Battle 2. The combat chamber is front, engine and gearbox, and the combat chamber is open-top. The front armor thickness is around 40mm, which can be immune to 2-pound gun attacks, but it is powerless to face 75mm-level artillery. It is a black gun player with basic defense capabilities, holding sharp blades and wearing cloth armor! It was urgently developed to deal with German wolf tanks. As the final product of the Allied armored unit, this tank was also promoted in the UK, but the British used a shortened 4-inch naval gun or 18-pound gun. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

At a distance of 1200 to 1500 meters, these new killers fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the powerful cannon! After realizing calibration and ranging, these cannons easily knocked off the bunkers exposed in the distance one by one at a combat distance far beyond the normal combat range.

"The power of the 105mm armor-piercing bomb is very impressive. I saw with my own eyes that we penetrated a 75mm artillery bunker at a distance of 1,100 meters. One shell directly penetrated a rammed earth layer of up to 0.8 meters thick, forming a 15-centimeter perforation hole in the diameter. Then the log and concrete layer behind it were destroyed. This shell must have detonated the ammunition inside. With the violent explosion, we can clearly see a huge smoke column rising from the sky above the bunker." A French officer described this weapon in this way.

While the Saint Monsa attacked the Germans' defense line like a siege cone, a large number of 155mm towing howitzers were deployed on the front line. It has to be said that the French have made great progress in artillery. They did not invest much in order to save ammunition before, but now, when the French are serious, the small German army is really not enough!

One 155mm artillery was deployed almost 2,300 meters away from the German position. They did not attack the current position, but instead carried out a long fire suppression around the attack area. At least six 105mm and 155mm artillery companies were put into continuous suppression. The flying artillery fire completely blocked the reinforcements of the German army in other directions. At the same time, the dust raised by the dense artillery shells also effectively obscured the German vision. The reassembled French commando and tank troops began to launch an attack with the support of the Saint-Monssa tanks!

The confrontation between the two sides quickly approached its peak! The Germans finally opened fire, and the heavy howitzers hidden in the reverse slope positions and permanent fortifications were also activated, and the Bavarian Air Force also began to provide support.

"The situation is not good!" However, this time, the Bavarian Air Force also came under a lot of pressure. When Hall brought his bomber squadron into the battlefield, a whole squadron of DH9 single-engine fighter was already waiting for him in the air!

"Damn it! This is not a Wicks machine gun!" Hall saw a series of bullets roaring towards a K-4 bomber next to him. Bullets like flying flame elf easily smashed the upper half of the bomber's wings into pieces. The power is so great that it is a scary. As an old fry, Hall immediately confirmed that this is definitely a large-caliber machine gun!

Major Hall guessed correctly. These DH9 fighter bombers were equipped with three French-made Hakicais 13.2mm machine guns. They used 13.2mm*96mm bullets! Originally, large-caliber machine guns were not difficult. Even if the French Hakicais was not as good as the German version of the m2, it was not as good as the weight and rate of fire. To put it simply, it was enough to deal with the hardwood planes in Battle 1! In order to ensure firepower, the DH9 fighter actually installed 4! Among them, one on one side of the wing, one on the propeller's central axis, and the rear pilot also had a rear-firing machine gun.

As a last-generation propeller aircraft in World War I, the dh9 has very strong performance. After being equipped with a 375-horsepower V12 liquid-cooled engine, the maximum flight speed is close to 200 kilometers per hour. Even with some armor, the flight speed can still reach about 170 kilometers per hour. The British did a very good job of protection. Not only did they install bulletproof steel plates on the front of the pilot, but also installed a 7mm thick armor plate on the front of the front engine bay. Although the comprehensive protection capability is not as good as the K-4m interceptor specially used for interception by the Bavarian Air Force, it still brought great discomfort to the Bavarian Air Force after its first entry into the battlefield.

"All aircraft should be careful to maintain formation! Give up bombing for the time being!" Accompanied by Major Hall's order, the Bavarian Air Force, which was originally planning to disperse the attack, re-formed a dense box formation and began to rise at the same time. He was waiting for the arrival of the equipped fighter jets. However, what Major Hall did not expect was that with the full support of the British, the 12 fighter jets that should have been assigned to them had been entangled by British and French fighters in other airspaces. Until half an hour after the booking time, the fighter jets he had been looking forward to still did not arrive.

"It seems that we and the British are going to be disappointed." Looking at the British fighter jets hovering next to their fleet, Major Hall said self-deprecatingly. The British did not attack at first. Obviously, the anti-aircraft firepower of German bombers like hedgehogs still made the British afraid. They were also waiting for their reinforcements, but unfortunately, they couldn't wait...

"We can't drag it all the time, prepare to implement Plan No. 2! Aim at the British logistics convoy, let's get on!" Major Hall ordered. A total of 16 k-6 and k-4 bombers mixed with aircraft groups began to change formations. The group originally divided into two upper and lower layers, like double-layer hamburgers, began to turn into one layer, but they still maintained a close formation between each other. They began to slowly lower the height and prepared to launch an attack by 300-meter horizontal bombing. At this moment, the British interceptor team finally took action!

The 12 DH9 fighters were divided into two waves and entered from the rear of the bomber group! Four 3 aircraft formations resisted their respective targets. When the two sides approached a distance of 800 meters, dozens of machine guns fired at the same time, and a dense fire net was dragged out from the rear of the German bomber, like a beautiful tail feather of a phoenix! Tracer and combustion bolts jumped toward the British fighter jets that were accelerating and impacting. The two DH9s were shot one after another. The first one was directly shot into honeycomb coal by the bullets shot from the side. The continuous large-caliber machine gun bullets cut the aircraft into two sections like chainsaws, and the two wings of the other aircraft were directly killed one and a half! In the end, they only wore the lower half of the wing and turned it down.
Chapter completed!
