However, at this time, Gallieni was tasting the despair brought by death and horror. Before the bomber arrived, the German armored forces had already launched an attack. A total of nearly 400,000 troops on both sides launched a field battle in the same plain area. Although the performance of the French infantry and armored forces improved, they were still on the coffee table in general!

This time, facing the French army's large corps, Earl Schmidt put all his strength in the first wave of attack! The two armored divisions gathered 200 wolf tanks and Hu Feng assault guns under the cover of 8,000 infantry, hundreds of armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, and directly hit the French defense line!

Just like the ancient Teutonic Knights, the steel spearhead composed of wolf tanks rushed towards the French positions slowly and firmly. In order to stop these terrible armored monsters, the French concentrated hundreds of 75mm rapid-fire cannons and 105mm cannons, and even in desperation, even 155mm howitzers pushed to the front line. The deadly rain of bullets sprayed out by hundreds of artillery formed a dense fire net in front of the German armored forces.

"Stay! Open fire after entering 1200 meters!" From time to time, armored vehicles or tanks were destroyed or injured by artillery shells falling from a long distance. The firepower advantage formed by the French relying on their huge military strength advantages did cause great trouble to the Germans. The grenades of the 155mm artillery were fatal. There was no way. In this era, the front armor of the tanks was not welded or cast, but was from Liujie... Even if a 155mm shell could not be penetrated, huge impact and explosion could cause the armor plate to fall off.

Only when facing the enemy's strong firepower can the quality of an army be best reflected. The German army responded quickly. At this time, the engineer units that were not taken care of by the German army were on the verge of the German offensive and moved quickly. They opened the cigarette tank and released smoke along the wind direction. The position of the smoke wall was very good, just in front of the German attack front! And it moved with the movement of the tank.

The self-propelled howitzers and mortars in the distance quickly moved from marching to combat. This is not a simple way to shoot directly as soon as the chariot stops. This is also a very important tactical cooperation issue. At least you have to know where to shoot your shells...

The Germans have already thought about this. In front of the troops, in addition to reconnaissance vehicles used to serve as vanguards and a small number of tanks, there are also observation vehicles that provide guidance for rear artillery! These vehicles carry specific communication equipment to keep in touch with the artillery in the rear. If these observation vehicles are destroyed or cannot operate due to mechanical failures, the reconnaissance vehicles next to them will also provide artillery fire guidance!

After a brief exchange, the direction and distance were determined by cooperating with the reference objects selected before. With almost no aligning, the first round of shells fell accurately into the French defense line!

One round of shells fell on the French position where there was almost no shelter. The violent explosion and tens of thousands of shrapnel easily wiped out the pieces of soldiers from the ground like the sickle of the god of death. Some soldiers hid in panic behind shallow trenches or artillery shields for comfort. However, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the grenade was mixed with shrapnel and directly smashed the cannons and artillery shields.

"The armored troops gathered their formation! Prepare to rush in from the gap made by heavy artillery!" A senior officer's value 70% lies in his on-site judgment, and it is obvious that General Schmidt's decision is worthy of his salary and enjoyment! When the heavy artillery in the rear concentrated its firepower to open a gap, the German army's offensive front line quickly adjusted, and instantly turned from a giant axe to a sharp cavalry rifle!

"Free fire!" When the German armored assault group successfully entered the effective attack distance, hundreds of tanks' fast and accurate mid- and close range shooting became the key to overwhelming the French defense! In less than a minute, thousands of artillery shells roared towards the French position, and the rapid fire even made the barrels of many tanks hot and had to reduce the firing speed. One after another, explosions came from the French position, and hundreds of soldiers and a large number of artillery were covered by the flame storm that swept over. Flame, explosion and death turned the French position into a hell.

"We blocked the German army in a zone with almost no reliable shelter. We didn't expect the Germans to come so quickly. The German attack was like a sophisticated machine, the armored forces were steadily and deadly charges, the effective support of long-range artillery, and every tank and every infantry were like precision parts. Thousands of shells fell in front of us, and the entire field of vision was filled with blood and flames. We struggled in vain, escaped and hid, but more than 90% of our comrades never came back in the end!" A French soldier who participated in the war wrote in his diary.

German tanks successfully ran over the French positions, smashed the cannons to pieces, and the accompanying infantry easily harvested the remaining resisters. While more people chose to abandon their weapons and raised their hands. Admiral Schmidt felt very good now, and there was no difference compared to yesterday's battle!

However, this is a French army of the army level. As an army, there are still some things to do! Although super heavy train cannons and siege cannons are either destroyed or hidden in a corner and dare not come out, the gpf194mm heavy cannons and 220mm Holy King Kong cannons that can move by themselves are still active! When Admiral Schmidt's armored group broke through the first line of defense of the French, these existences that were far higher than the division level finally began to show their power! The long gun barrel was raised 15 kilometers away from the defense line. Together with a large number of 155mm heavy howitzers and 105mm light howitzers set off a dense firewall on the way to the German attack, using continuous artillery bombardment to prevent the German army from continuing to attack, and at the same time preparing for reorganization of defense.

"We can't rush over! Their firepower is too dense, and our howitzers cannot reach the most critical French positions." A German officer reported to General Schmidt.

"Then wait, this is their last performance. Our air force will clean up everything." Admiral Schmidt looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said. This time, the Bavarian Air Force did not disappoint Schmidt as usual! Just half an hour later, the first wave of German bombers flew over the Gustav assault group in neat formations. When they saw these comrades from afar, the German troops on the ground cheered! The cheers were so huge that they even suppressed the sound of gunfire on the battlefield!
