1664 The Last Battle 5

"This is the highest level of armored offensive battle between the French Army and the German Army since the war started. The Germans used their best wolf tanks as the main force, as well as wasp assault guns and rhino heavy self-propelled guns. On the front is the ft10 tank, and behind is a large number of Saint Monsa self-propelled guns. The German air force is used to support the frontal battlefield, so there is no time to take care of us. This battle is a very good battle sample and is extremely valuable for reference, although the final result does not satisfy us..." Xia Fei described the battle in his memoirs like this.

Before the armored attack lines of both sides collided, accompanied by a terrifying howling, heavy howitzers falling from the sky fell into the formation of the French offensive forces. The tank troops on the front could continue to advance with shrapnel, while the trucks and a large number of tow artillery behind suffered huge losses. Nearly a hundred howitzers of various calibers shot two moving barrages in the French positions. The first wave of barrage roared down, and dozens of unresponsive vehicles were quickly shrouded by shrapnel and flames. The fragile body could not block the shrapnel of the initial speed of hundreds of meters. They easily cut the outer shell of the vehicle and left a terrifying wound on the precision engine or gearbox inside. Flames and smoke were sprayed out from the vehicle. If the luck was worse, a huge fireball would burst out from the ground in a few seconds.

The shock waves generated by the explosion raged on the plain without any cover, and they easily split trucks weighing tons into pieces like giant hands. The soldiers' fragile bodies were beaten into pieces of flesh in the violent flame storm, and blood and gunpowder mixed into an unpleasant smell echoed on the battlefield. The god named Death was harvesting his own spoils in the wilderness.

Some vehicles that were not covered by fire began to choose to avoid and began to drop the infantry on the car. Although such behavior saved the lives of some soldiers, it was undoubtedly very bad in the overall situation. The scattered vehicles and infantry who had lost their restraints fled on the battlefield. They forgot their mission, and chaos spread quickly on the battlefield like a plague. Before the tank troops on both sides took the enemy, the French infantry troops were already in trouble. Then, when the artillery fire continued to extend to the tow artillery formation behind the French army, the whole situation changed even more seriously!

"The German artillery positions almost coincide with their attacking front line!" A French officer reported to his superiors almost with a tremolo. They estimated that the German artillery positions would be at the back, so the French army was preparing to advance another 2,000 meters before unfolding. At this time, the advantages of self-propelled artillery were fully utilized. The German artillery positions moved very fast. While the howitzers in the rear attacked the French infantry, the self-propelled howitzers rushed to the front and attacked the French's traction artillery. This is precisely because of this gap between time and space, the French had a good opportunity to take measures. This is why the German artillery units fired two barrages!

You know, the towing artillery was carrying ammunition! A 105mm howitzer falling from the sky accurately hit a Renault truck carrying ammunition. The 6-wheeler truck carried at least 3 tons of shells and launching medicine. At the moment it was hit, several tons of explosives were detonated. A pillar of fire that was hundreds of meters high soared into the sky. The violent explosion instantly consumed the air around it. The shock wave generated quickly spread around. A truck carrying 155mm howitzer next to it was blown into a burning wreckage, while the cannon weighing more than 3 tons was blown away by a huge thrust like a toy, and then hit another vehicle full of running crew members next to it...

Some of the French artillery were directly annihilated by the German artillery fire, while the remaining artillery that were not affected for the time being was quickly unfolded at the edge of their range. Even in this case, the French were still trying their best to adjust their formation, but the effect was not good. The artillery troops that were rushing to unfold blocked the route of the Saint Monsa self-propelled artillery that was also moving forward. In desperation, these Frenchmen could only detour the firepower of the straight aiming, so that they did not enter the battlefield at the first time. The Bavarian Legion, as the enemy, naturally could not wait for the French to complete the adjustment of the formation. So, when the French were in a hurry, the sharp spear composed of wolf tanks had already stabbed in!

Both sides chose to shrink the front at the last 2,000 meters distance. From the sky, two fronts composed of tanks and armored vehicles quickly approached. The Germans obviously controlled the speed at the last distance. They kept adjusting their relative positions, like modern cavalry, sewing their attack formation-controlled sky clothes. The French began a desperate charge on the last distance. They knew that at the distance between 1,200 to 400 meters between the two sides, it was almost the distance between Bavarian armored troops unilaterally. Only by getting close or surrounding the flanks could it be destroyed! Therefore, for the French, at this time, the distance of 1,200 meters was their order to launch a charge!

"1400 meters! Get ready to shoot!" At a distance of 1400 meters, when the French tank appeared in the scope of the tank was just a small black spot, the German armored troops began the first round of volleys. Such a long distance naturally would not achieve any results. One round of shells fell near the French tank. Smoke columns rose up, and then, according to the bounce point, the Germans corrected the shooting parameters and carried out the second and third rounds of shooting. When the third round of volleys began, the distance between the two sides had been pulled to 800 to 1000 meters!

At this distance, after the first two corrective shootings, the hit accuracy of the Bavarian armored troops increased linearly, and then, fire pillars instantly exploded from the French front in the distance, which were caused by the hit ft10 tank. After entering this distance, the battle between the two sides immediately became fierce!

The French also opened fire at a distance of about 600 meters, and 75mm shells flew into the distance. As for where they hit it? God didn't know that except for a few talented people, it would be absolutely tragic to shoot such a far target while moving.

In addition to scaring newcomers, this kind of attack is at most to give yourself courage!
