Chapter 1594 The curtain ends

In terms of position, at this time, as the German armored troops continued to retreat backwards, they had already moved away from the second French defense line that Germany had occupied. The fighting positions between the two sides continued to move backwards and entered the blank area between the first and second French defense lines. The rapid-fire guns originally deployed behind the second French defense line could no longer provide cover for the French. Without enough infantry, the battlefield perception of the French armored troops also decreased by a level! In addition to the chaotic battlefield situation, when Count Schmidt's reserve team entered the battlefield from the side, the French could not even react at the first time!

The French attacked the same number of wolf-type tanks head-on and were extremely tangled. When the last batch of tanks entered the battlefield, avoided the French front and launched an attack from the back, Davie could be described as a disaster! A group of wolf-type tanks aimed the muzzle at the truck cannons and Saint Monsa, which had extremely poor defense behind the French position, and then launched the first round of volleys!

1,200 meters away, the first round of artillery shells flew towards the target. The truck cannons parked behind to provide fire support were first destroyed. The powerful armor-piercing bomb easily blew the vehicles without armor protection into pieces. In the violent explosions, the French front was shaken.

The French, who had seen too much blood and death, finally collapsed after seeing the German armored battle group rushing out from the side. They were nearly 30 wolf-style tanks, and they rushed up in a linear formation that could fully exert their firepower. There was no cover between the French truck guns and the German steel giant wolf! The situation at that time was a bit like the longbowmen in the medieval era charging against the cavalry without building positions and protecting spearmen. It was only a matter of time before these fragile guys were torn apart by their opponent's sharp steel cavalry rifles!

The French rely on the St. Monsa self-propelled artillery to try to make the final resistance, but unfortunately, the Germans paid great attention to keeping distance. Without being entangled, the German armored group would rather shoot at a lower hit rate than easily get close to these guys with huge lethality. A distance of 800 meters, even the powerful 105mm cannon is not enough to penetrate the wolf tank with track plates and front armor of the load-bearing wheel. The wolf tank's 75mm cannon can penetrate the opponent at any distance that can be hit!

And that's not all. When the wolf tank on the side launched an attack, Schmidt also threw all the remaining weasel-type wheeled tanks into the battlefield. They were the soldiers who charged into the battle, rushed towards the Frenchman's soft abdomen under the cover of the 75mm cannon of the wolf tank, pierced, and then stirred hard!

The 75mm shells and 40mm machine gun shells formed a moving fire net on the front of the German advance. They kept rolling back and forth in the French formation, and were riddled with holes in the originally neat French rear front! The tanks asked for protection were proven to have extremely poor survivability in offensive operations, and even a near-lost grenade could cause fatal damage to a truck cannon.

The remaining 20 Saint Monsa self-propelled artillery of the French suffered heavy losses under the focus of the Germans. In less than 15 minutes, the French lost at least 18 precious 105mm self-propelled artillery! The remaining artillery escaped under the cover of smoke, but at this time, they could no longer have an impact on the battle situation, because at this time, the German battle group, like a sharp knife, had torn the French front and stabbed the armored troops fighting on the front line hard in the back!

"It's over! Everything is over!" Major General David in the rear was completely desperate after seeing the German armored troops interspersed from the side! His armored troops were already over, and at least they had already penetrated the enemy's depth, they probably wouldn't be able to come back!

"Order, all troops that have not been entangled by the Germans quickly evacuated, and all the remaining artillery were concentrated to suppress the enemy on the battlefield. Let's retreat!" Major General Davide took a last look at the French armored elites who were still fighting on the battlefield and issued the final battle order! He must abandon these brave soldiers now, because if he delayed for a while, once the armored troops in front were eliminated, his troops would be chased and killed one by one by one by one by one by one in the Middle Ages. And now if he evacuated, he could at least retain some of his troops!

Before the battle was completely decided, the French had given up voluntarily, and the subsequent battle entered garbage time. In a one-sided situation, more than 60% of the remaining French armored troops were massacred, and more than 30% of the remaining French troops chose to surrender!

"We won, didn't we?" The battle was over. Earl Schmidt, who walked onto the battlefield accompanied by staff, looked at the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated, and said in a low voice.

"That's it, we won. On this battlefield, we killed at least 150 French tanks, self-propelled artillery, truck guns and towed artillery! As well as more than 50 rapid-fire cannons and a large number of trucks." An officer next to him said. "Although we also paid at least 25 wolf tanks that were completely destroyed and 15 were incurred for overhaul. But we still have the spare energy. Including the troops we still have, we can also launch an attack on the male French army!"

"Haha." Earl Schmidt was not optimistic about what this subordinate said. After the battle, he brought out 60 wolf tanks and could pull out up to 15 at most. Major General Mike participated in the battle. After the end, although there were only 10 wolf tanks that were completely lost, there were also more than a dozen tanks that needed overhaul and engine replacement. In this way, all the wolf tanks in his hands were only about 45. Defensive is OK, but for offense? Forget it! The remaining armor power in his hands is the last resort to ensure the safety of the Bursard army, and there is no slightest mistake.

"We must focus on stability before our new reinforcements arrive," said Count Schmidt. "Prepare to write a telegram to report to His Highness the situation of the battle."

"But if we can, we cannot make it easier for the French on the Northern Line to go. We can send some wheeled chariots to attack their supply lines and the troops that are left alone. They are now very weak. Although we lack enough troops to completely eat them, it is okay to bite off a few pieces of meat." Another officer suggested.

"This plan is OK, but the scale of troops mobilized must not exceed one battalion of vehicles. And be aware that the French are not far from their front line, and they may be able to obtain help from the British Air Force in one day." Earl Schmidt reminded.
