1586 Ambush 4
"The third row launches a counter-charge with us!" At this time, six wolf-type tanks that were responsible for the southern line of alert began to support the infantry deployed on the side. The tanks roared out of the hidden place and rushed towards the French tanks surrounding them in the distance! At this moment, the French finally got in close contact with the latest German tanks!
"Heavy, agile, fierce firepower!" A French officer described the scene when he first encountered a wolf tank. Although these tanks looked heavy, their mobility was really good, even better than the French's own Renault light tanks. Faced with these giant beasts that rushed out, the French's 75mm rapid-fire guns started from 800 meters to 300 meters! They failed to penetrate the front armor of these tanks. The tried-and-true 75mm armor-piercing bombs left at most a fist-sized pit on the thick tank tilted armor, and then the warhead was smashed to pieces.
These tanks were like knights in heavy armor in the Middle Ages, and they lined up in neat formations to easily crush the enemy that was far more than them on the other side. The 75mm cannons easily killed the enemies in the distance like knight's spears. The heavy armor was like knight's plate armor. They were all defenses that were difficult to destroy in their respective eras. However, these guys were still very flexible in their legs and feet, and the French troops involved in the battle could not even leave!
"Give me another fifteen minutes, and I can defy all the trash from these French guys!" The German tank commander who came out looked at the French tanks that were firing in vain in the distance, but the sniper who unexpectedly joined the battlefield had already targeted the deadly artillery at these giant steel wolves who were killing them!
"Even a solid iron turtle can penetrate it, right?" The ammunition hand was still looking at the wolf pack that was killing in the distance with lingering fear.
A few seconds later, a 105mm shell accurately hit the side of a wolf tank. The powerful shell easily penetrated the armor plate of only 40mm on the side. The 15kg warhead destroyed the engine compartment and transmission at the rear of the vehicle body. The flames generated by the armor and explosion ignited the adjacent diesel tank! A huge ball of flames instantly gushed out from the rear of the vehicle body. The tank that was still advancing under huge inertia was like a moving volcano. Then the ammunition in the rear cabin of the rear of the turret was ignited. After a loud bang, the entire tank turned into wreckage everywhere.
At the same time, another 105mm shell shot from 700 meters away hit the front of another wolf tank. This was the first shell to destroy the front of the wolf tank at a distance of 700 meters. The violent collision caused the shell to detonate when it penetrated halfway. The flying shrapnel killed the tank driver behind the tank as soon as possible, but the damage was limited to a certain range. The two surviving tank hands supported them to evacuate from the cabin.
"Prepare to retreat and retreat to the villages and towns!" Even though the Germans reacted quickly enough and evacuated while releasing smoke, before leaving, a wolf-type tank still destroyed the walking system under dense artillery fire. At this time, when the battlefield was unable to be controlled, the tank was destined to be lost.
"The situation is not very good!" The so-called blessings are not bad, and misfortune is not singular. While three wolf tanks were lost on the flanks, the unique whistle of long-range artillery came from the sky. The already-drawn French artillery troops began to throw tons of shells onto the heads of the Germans. They planned to destroy everything around the town and the surroundings. The explosion of the 155mm heavy grenades was endless, and the woods and houses were shattered. In this case, Mike's only choice was to evacuate, and with the remaining 20 wolf tanks crossed the river and evacuated westward under the cover of smoke.
"The French are so lucky. If we could get their large troops and directly attack the logistics units and artillery located in the rear, we could achieve greater results, and there would be no such heavy casualties. The French were so crazy that they actually loaded the 105mm cannon onto the chariot." Looking at the town still shrouded in artillery fire in the distance, Major General Mike said unwillingly.
But in fact, in the battle just now, the exchange ratio of armored units between the two sides was as high as 1 to 7.70 Renault, ft10 and truck guns were destroyed in less than an hour of battle. Of course, there were nearly 30 Renault tanks known as armored cars. But the Germans made a lot of money. Although the conditions for the ambush were not perfect, at the beginning, Xia Fei was heartbroken by a fierce attack on the French unprepared convoy. So much so that when the Germans evacuated, the French had no idea of chasing them.
When Mike took his armored troops to evacuate, Xia Fei also brought his staff to a relatively well-preserved wolf tank. "This is really a good tank." Xia Fei knocked on the thick armor plate on the front and said with some emotion. The tank was destroyed by a 105mm shell. Although the powerful shell destroyed the side skirt plate, load-bearing wheel and side armor on the back, it did not cause too much damage to the inside of the tank, so that the French could see the structure of the German tank.
"Compared with the German tanks, our tanks are like residual assembled goods, which is simply a work of art." After looking at the German tanks and then at their own ft10, Xia Fei felt that his mind was hit hard... To put it bluntly, it is an extended half-track car with cannons installed on it and strengthening the front. After all, it is a chassis for the half-way monk. By now, it has reached the limit of modification. Therefore, the new Saint Monsa Warrior can only use a brand new chassis.
"General, our previous plan..." Just as Xia Fei kept complaining about the discrete products produced by France in his heart, an officer came up to inquire.
"The plan remains unchanged. The Bavarian Legion has arrived. We have entered the battlefield. The troops slow down and advance steadily! On the front of us, there are at least one brigade of armored troops, and we must be careful." Xia Fei sighed and said. In fact, he estimated the opponent's strength a little too high, but this is inevitable. Anyone who sees his armored battalion directly destroyed in less than an hour of fire exchange will definitely be frightened. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Xia Fei is ready to fight steadily.
"If we can advance for a half day and then unfold the formation, then we can attack the opponent with friendly forces on the North Line. Now, the North Line has already taken over the enemy. We have not reached the designated position and have lost the advantage of taking action at the same time in both lines." An officer dissuaded.
