1592 Counterattack 4

Hundreds of tanks rushed over directly, and even the wolf-type tanks were under great pressure. Fortunately, the French shelter was about 3 kilometers away from the second line of defense. It took at least ten minutes to enter the range after walking 2 kilometers at the speed of the tank at that time. Considering the time to adjust the formation and the time provided for supporting artillery, this time would be longer.

As the mortars began to release smoke bombs, they covered the wolf-type tanks that were attacking on both wings retreated. At the same time, the 105mm howitzer located behind the troops and the self-propelled artillery equipped with 107mm cannons began to suppress the French artillery positions in the distance.

"The attack distance is a bit far, and we lose the suddenness of the attack." A French officer said with some concern at the German armored troops who calmly adjusted their formation.

"This is the best time we can win. If they clear the second line of defense, they will fight us without restraint." Davide also said with regret as he looked at the rolling French armored troops. Now, the support lines on both sides of the second line of defense have become at least two front midfielders supporting the French attack. The front of the French attack is greater than that of the German armored troops.

Before the tanks of both sides collided, the French artillery had already declined in the fight between long-range artillery. Most of the French artillery that towed artillery became increasingly difficult for the German artillery to face the self-action German artillery. At least the latter's semi-closed combat compartment could provide limited cover for the gunners, and the maneuverability of the artillery increased the survival rate of the artillery. After all, there was no precise strike in this era, and if you want to destroy an artillery position, you could only rely on a large amount of ammunition to cover it. However, the French artillery was almost dead, while the German artillery was alive!

"The German artillery seemed to be unable to kill. We clearly locked the opponent's shooting position and completely suppressed it with fierce shelling. They quickly stopped fighting back, but in more than ten minutes, they would open fire in a new place. What about us? When the German artillery shells came, we could only hide behind the chest wall and rely on the built defense line to survive. We watched with our own eyes the shrapnel and high-explosive bombs that exploded in the air push shrapnel and flames across the entire position. Brothers fell into the artillery fire. Occasionally, artillery would be directly hit, and balls of flames were raging on the position. Our artillery was suppressed by the opponent in just half an hour." After the war, a French artillery captain met in such a meeting.

However, neither side paid attention to the direct battle between long-range artillery at this time, because at this time, the French armored troops had bitten the Germans, and the German armored troops had completed the formation adjustment. The two sides launched the first large-scale tank attack on the battlefield in an area that was not too wide! 57 tanks in Bavaria fought against 132 Frenchmen. Of course, both sides also had a large number of truck guns or other combat vehicles!

"Fire!" At a distance of 1,200 meters, the wolf-type tank facing the enemy first launched the attack. As usual, it was a round of shooting. The tracer bullets of the heading machine gun next to the artillery and the first round of artillery shells were alternately fired towards the targets in the distance. The first round of salvos of more than 20 wolf-type tanks were not high, and Germany could only determine that they destroyed 4 to 5 targets. This round of attacks seemed to sound the horn of this steel collision! The French, who realized that they had entered the effective combat distance of the opponent, began to charge desperately. They increased the engine power to the maximum, and the engine that had been squeezed to the limit made a tummy tremor.

"Start free shooting! Limited attacks high-threat targets!" When the target approached about 800 meters, the Bavarian armored elites began to enter the best shooting distance, and everyone fired a round of armor-piercing projectiles at the target at the fastest speed. It was the stage from 800 meters to 400 meters that was the fastest time for French tank combat to lose personnel!

"May God bless me!" French armored soldiers major asked Vera to kiss the cross on his neck, and a violent explosion came from the side. He knew that he had entered the core of the flame storm. Perhaps in the next second, an armor-piercing bomb could tear open the fragile armor of the ft10 tank and smash him and his companions! Vera could clearly see the German tanks in the distance constantly jumping with flames, flying constantly on the battlefield like a scythe of death in the god of death. He wanted to use his rapid-fire cannons to teach these guys a lesson, but reason told him that at such a long distance, he could not destroy the iron cannons at all!

"Oh God!" A Renault tank on the left front of Major Vera was directly blown into pieces by an armor-piercing bomb. When he controlled the tank and just dodged the wreckage, another shell knocked a ft10 on his side into a ball of fire. Then, the shells like hail fell into the attacking formation. In less than a minute, Major Vera saw at least 8 violent explosions around him! The advance of the French armored troops was completely walking in the road paved with flames and blood. The originally neat attack formation was a large piece of depressed in less than 3 minutes of intensive shooting, just like a long sword directly interrupted the tip of the sword!

"The smoke is too big and I can't see clearly!" During this period, the German tankers made at least more than 3 hits, of which at least 30 French tanks were completely destroyed. The thick smoke produced by the explosion of the French tank formed a smoke screen to block the two sides. The artillery was overheated due to the excessive firing rate, and the gun barrel was also overheated. The combat room was filled with smoke, and the floor was filled with illuminated shell shells.

"Prepare to retreat! Someone will provide us with cover!" The wolf-type tank in a state of static shooting began to fully launch, and the Germans directly moved forward and began to evacuate backward. At this moment, the French counterattack finally came! After paying a huge price, the French tanks had approached a distance of about 400 meters! The powerful Saint Monsa self-propelled artillery also entered the effective range!

Two ft10 tanks that rushed out of the smoke appeared on the side of a wolf tank. Before the Germans reacted, six 75mm shells roared to the side of the tank. The suspension device on the combat side was directly destroyed, and another shell broke through the side of the turret, and orange flames spewed out of the crack.

The other German tanks that reacted quickly blew the two assassins into pieces. When they continued to evacuate, the Saint Monsa self-propelled artillery that had arrived at the front line aimed at the tank company on the flank. At a distance of 600 meters, the 105mm armor-piercing missile hit the front of the wolf tank with greetings from the god of death!
