2050 Deep Assault 3

"I never thought these wooden racks with an engine could be so majestic." A Junker officer exclaimed at the k8 bomber flying in the air. As a traditional Junker nobleman, especially a military noble, he was a little hostile to everything that was not an army. However, now he had to admit that these new things can help the German army on the ground do a lot!

"It's the German bomber! Oh my God, how could they have so many bombers!" At the same time, the French's impression was terrible! When the German bomber group flew over like dark clouds, the French sky was not covered at all! Hundreds of German fighters had already unfolded around, forming a defensive shield over the battlefield. All Allied aircraft would have to pay an extremely high price to threaten bombers if they wanted to kill this layer of shield! And now? The attacks of German bombers were unscrupulous!

"Let's fly over the French's heads! I'm going to take off the French hats!" A German pilot said arrogantly at the French army on the ground, and he did so. In the absence of effective air strikes except for some anti-aircraft guns, the Germans' air strikes were very arrogant! Most bombers actually flew over 200 meters of air and then dropped bombs horizontally. The first targets were naturally the artillery positions in the rear, transportation hubs, and troops and vehicles that were maneuvering on the road.

Before the bomber dropped the tons of bombs, the French army on the ground was baptized by a rain of pouring bullets! Hundreds of machine guns on hundreds of bombers passed through the air with the planes, and tens of thousands of bullets fell from the air like raindrops. In an instant, they defeated groups of replenishing troops and formed burning boxes of carriages and trucks. The incendiary bombs fired by the large-caliber machine guns ignited everything they encountered! What was most unexpected was that a group of bombers flying over the heads of French armored units actually destroyed several tanks with machine guns!

"We flew through a bush, and I suddenly discovered the French tanks hidden in the bush. They seemed to be Renault light tanks. They were very close to me, and seemed to be only 300 meters in a straight line distance. I subconsciously pointed the double 12.7mm machine gun in my hand at the other party, and then pulled the trigger. However, unexpectedly, a series of incendiary bombs hit the middle and rear of one of the tanks. I should have hit the heat dissipation cover on the upper part of the engine bay behind! The aluminum powder combustion agent in the ammunition ignited the engine bay of the tank, and in addition to me, several tanks were killed by other comrades!" A German machine gunner recalled the situation at that time.

Because of the successful destruction of armored targets with machine guns this time, the Luftwaffe began to study the possibility of using small-caliber or medium-caliber anti-tank guns to be loaded onto the aircraft to completely destroy the tank. Of course, this is a later story, so let's not mention it for now! These Renault tanks are just desserts before meals, and the real meal is about to be on the court!

"It's the French's heavy artillery position! I saw it! It's the gpf194mm heavy cannon! I saw this thing at a trophy exhibition! It's so beautiful, look at the thick and long gun barrel and a chassis full of mechanical beauty!" A German pilot said, pointing to a gpf194mm heavy cannon battalion deployed in the open area ahead! At least 12 heavy cannons lined up on the wide position, and not far behind them were piles of ammunition and transport vehicles!

Of course, the French considered that such an important position might be subjected to air strikes. When the German aircraft group approached, the anti-aircraft guns modified with 75mm rapid-fire guns deployed on the periphery began to fire at the air. However, the initial speed of the 75-speed guns in this era was still too low and the rotation was not flexible, which led to the actual air-to-air efficiency of this weapon was not as good as that of the 2-pound machine guns. The Germans did not pay special attention to them at all. The machine guns on the side of the bomber and the lower part of the body suppressed the matter, and dozens of bombers still flew to the French heavy artillery positions!

Dozens of tons of bombs fell from the air less than 150 meters, and huge smoke columns rose into the air. Flames and smoke instantly covered the entire position. A 194mm heavy cannon was directly hit by a 150kg high-explosive bomb. The 80kg explosive inside the bomb directly exploded the steel giant beast weighing more than 20 tons into parts. Other cannons were affected even if they were not hit directly.

As long as a bomb of 150kg falls within 10 meters of the artillery radius, the shock wave generated by this bomb can cause fatal damage to the gun stand and some fragile parts of the artillery chassis. As for the French people next to them, bombs with a radius of up to 50 meters can completely tear down all flesh and blood creatures exposed to it! You must know that the shells of a 155mm heavy howitzer are loaded only about 6kg!

As the aircraft movements, tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs fell down one after another, leaving a road filled with flames and smoke on the ground. The end of this road was the ammunition piled up behind the artillery position! When a series of bombs fell into the ammunition piled up and the vehicles beside them, the entire artillery position was violently exploded and exploded into the sky!

A powerful shock wave quickly swept across the range of tens of thousands of square meters. Even the k6 bombers flying in the air were trembling constantly by the strong upward airflow! A white air wave visible to the naked eye swept across everything on the ground, and the violent explosion could even feel the vibration of the earth 2 kilometers away!

"It is estimated that nearly 100 tons of shells exploded." A French military officer said afterwards.

"Remember, the plane should fly higher next time the bombing ammunition is piled up!" Looking at the scars on the fuselage, the captain said to the pilot.

However, no matter what, the important firepower pillar of the French army was done. However, in other places, whether it was the Holy Diamond 220mm heavy artillery, ordinary military and division 155mm heavy artillery, were severely damaged in this sudden air strike. Some of them were faster and avoided the bombing, but they did not dare to show up. The long-range firepower of the French army, which had just been raging for a few minutes, suddenly weakened a lot. At this time, the German armored legion, which had been briefly resting, rushed up again!

In the subsequent battle, the Germans witnessed the final conscience and bloodiness of the French Legion! In the situation of being in danger, Galieni invested all his armored forces! Under the attack of the German bomber, he rushed forward against the German armored spearhead!
