2076 Counterattack 1

The flares, like raindrops, slowly fell from the air, illuminating the battlefield like daytime. In the bright light, you can clearly see teams of British troops posing very wide front lines under the guidance of tanks and armored vehicles to attack the Germans. The roar of artillery and the roar of machine guns overwhelmed other sounds on the battlefield. Countless tracer bullets jumped in the air. The British had no time to use artillery to slowly clear their opponents, and the German long-range artillery was not as good as the British, so they also tended to fight in close combat. So the two sides quickly collided, and the battle began to enter a brutal melee!

"At 2 o'clock, 500 meters, a British tank, with armor-piercing bombs!" Through the captain's observation mirror, Guderian locked a British tank exposed to the flares. The captain quickly pointed the barrel to the target in the distance. When the cross in the scope pressed the target, the artillery decisively stimulated the artillery. As the tail of the cannon suddenly jumped back, a 75mm armor-piercing bomb roared out and hit the side of the body of the tank in the distance!

"Release smoke, hang in reverse gear, evacuate!" Before we could see if we hit the target, this gun had exposed Guderian's position. Soon, dense flares would come, and the night would not be able to provide protection, so at this time, only smoke bombs were more reliable!

Following the route left in advance, Guderian commanded the tank to retreat quickly and turn to a bush next to it. The British's sense of smell was indeed keen. The tracer bullets of the machine gun and the flares fired by the mortar instantly enveloped the tank with the black hand behind. Unfortunately, they could only see the blurry figure hidden in the black smoke.

The British tank hands, who had already hit the head, rushed up angrily, and they tried to pass through the smoke and then kill the sneak attacker at close range. The British infantry, who were already accustomed to following the tank, immediately followed the tank and chased after it. So inadvertently, they exposed their flanks and backs to other German troops hiding in the night!

The other three tanks and at least 20 machine guns hidden in the villages and towns next to each other suddenly opened fire less than 300 meters away from the British army. Several British tanks were destroyed by the wolf tank's 75mm armor-piercing projectiles at the first time. Relying on the super high rate of fire, the rain of bullets interwoven by dozens of mg machine guns instantly covered the entire British army's marching queue. Unpredictable, this covered side fire on this uncovered terrain instantly eliminated most of the British infantry. With the sour sound like a chainsaw, the figures that were originally moving in the night were harvested like wheat. After confirming that the British tanks were completely destroyed, the German tanks rushed out of the hidden ground and launched a counterattack with the infantry. At this time, Guderian, who was in charge of the task of luring the enemy, was preparing to re-attach the broken track with the engineers.

The battle between the two sides quickly fell into chaos. The British soon discovered that even in the best case, they chose the tactics that the British army thought were the most suitable, and they were still no match for the Germans opposite! The first wave of infantry shocks of the British did not cut the seemingly loose defense lines of the Germans into pieces. On the contrary, the Germans launched a counterattack in some places. Under the cover of tanks of two companies or even one company, the German elite infantry dared to launch a counterattack against the British army that was several times more than they were!

The Germans seemed to have thought of the British tactics and made corresponding responses. They would first destroy the British tanks by luring and setting up ambush. Then, the tanks would avoid the front of the British army and find a flank to quickly cut off the British front. After defeating the British defense with tanks and armored vehicles, the infantry would join the battlefield to expand the results. This kind of attack would usually be very rapid. The Germans took back their troops and left as if they were attacking, so that the British troops who arrived later could not find anyone even if they wanted to retaliate.

"How are we doing now?" Marshal Heg, who was in the command center, drove a group of staff to busy mark the positions of each unit on the map.

"From the moment, our troops are progressing quite well, but the overall situation is not optimistic. The Germans seem to have given up some positions at night and created a wide middle ground between us. We attacked very quickly, but we did not find many destroyed artillery." General Wilson said.

"Then let our offensive troops move faster! We must bite the German main force tonight and then severely damage them." Marshal Heg said gritting his teeth.

"So what should we do during the day? The Germans took a step back and consumed our strength. By the day, they launched a counterattack. At this time, we had already escaped from the support of most long-range artillery and had to face the German air force." General Wilson said.

"We will turn to defense during the day. As long as we can reach the dotted line, we can use the previous bunker and terrain. There will definitely be losses, but as long as we can hold on until night, we can launch a second round of attack! In addition, we ordered the Fifth Army to shrink its defense line and evacuate north." Marshal Hege thought for a while and added that in fact, the last sentence already reflected that Marshal Hege himself was a little lack of confidence, so while launching a frontal attack, Marshal Hege was also carrying out the withdrawal.

At this time, the British army was still fighting hard. Relying on their huge military advantage, they gradually advanced forward. Although the German short assault was scarred by the British army, it did not stop the British army from advancing until they arrived at the positions they lost two days ago - those villages, towns, stations and warehouses that were captured by the German army in surprise!

Here, the German army is no longer retreating. They are like nails to these key areas and block the British's progress! In the complex environment, the Germans use bloody facts to tell the British that those high-quality infantry that the British have been proud of since the era of the Sun King have become history. Even without the bonus of artillery and even without the new tanks, the German infantry is still better than the British!

The German army equipped with a large number of general-purpose machine guns and submachine guns clearly have an advantage in firepower confrontation at various levels. Sometimes a suitable mg machine gun team can easily suppress the British attacks in a company. Even in less than a minute of changing the barrel, the Germans will still use the crossfire of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns to drive the British back. The engineers from various companies below also played a considerable role. They are proficient in earthwork and blasting, and rely on some simple equipment to create a terrible death trap in a few minutes.
