2077 Counterattack 2

The Germans performed very well in street fighting. They rarely followed the original road. The Germans prefer to open roads by blasting the walls of buildings. A small number of German troops would spread on both sides of the main force and the rooftops of the houses, which gave them a better vision and greatly improved their reconnaissance and counter-ambuster capabilities.

"The Germans are like ghosts in the night. They are good at hiding themselves, and they will suddenly appear in places you can't imagine, and then shoot hundreds of bullets. When you reflect on the counterattack, they shrink back like ghosts. When you are about to put away the machine gun and attack again, they will suddenly appear. The Germans gather and disperse when they act. Sometimes they will use several groups to delay our pace, and sometimes several times the German army suddenly appears. Then there is no need to ask, in a very short time, the British army that was bitten will be quickly annihilated. We have never seen an opponent so proficient in street fighting!" A British commander who participated in this battle described his enemy like this.

But for the British troops at the grassroots level, they are more envious and jealous of the Germans' excellent weapons! "Lewis machine guns can indeed be continuously fired continuously with exhaust tubes, but they are a bit heavy, and the weight of the bullet disk on the upper part of the machine gun is too large and it is not in particular to use. Of course, the most important thing is that the firepower continuity cannot be compared with the German mg machine guns. The Germans call their new mg11 machine gun a general machine gun, which is really a good title. Just replace it with a tripod and a 250-round canvas bullet belt to be used as a heavy machine gun, and use a bipod and 75-round drums to be used as a light machine gun. The German machine gun team deploys very fast and has fierce firepower. These machine guns are also light in weight, in short, much stronger than our Lewis machine guns and Wicks machine guns."

"In addition to machine guns, are the submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles equipped by the Germans very terrifying? The firepower of the Germans' company platoons is two legs. In addition to machine guns, semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns can also be used alone. When the Germans used grenades or light mortars to kill our machine guns, we had already lost the offensive ability. Although the Li En rifle in our hands is stronger than Mauser, it will still be hit by the semi-automatic rifle and cannot find the north." After the war, a British company commander who had participated in the war for one year on the Western Front evaluated the light weapons of both sides in this way after the war.

Under the tenacious attack of the Germans, a large number of British infantry fell into fierce and bloody street fighting. The British reoccupied these places before dawn to avoid the bombing of the German Air Force. There were also food and military supplies that the Germans had no time to deal with. These things were also very attractive to the British army. Sometimes the British army didn't know whether the Germans had no time to deal with these supplies, or did they keep these things deliberately lure the British army?

But no matter what, more and more British troops began to gather at several key points of fierce fighting. They surrounded these places, attacked with all the artillery that could be transported, and then launched charges with infantry over and over again. Every street, every house and even every ruin broke out in fierce battles. The corpses that died on the battlefield and the blood donation that had gathered into streams turned this place into a hell, with flames and smoke spreading over the battlefield, and the infantry on both sides were killed and injured in repeated battles.

During the fierce battle, the British subconsciously ignored a problem, that is, when the battle at key nodes was so fierce, the infantry on both sides were rapidly consumed, where were the German armored troops? The tanks that killed the British army in the first few hours seemed to have not appeared in the battle? So now the question is, where are these tanks?

Even though the German armored troops were divided, in fact, the German army can call more armored troops than the British! As General Heg expected, the Germans gave up some daytime positions at night in order to prevent the two sides from getting too close and being beaten by the British army with the advantage of artillery. Now, when the elite German infantry troops attracted the attention of the British, the main force of the German armored troops gained the time to assemble and prepare, and cooperated with the troops withdrawn from the frontline and reconnaissance, they had a rough understanding of the current situation of the British army. Marshal Heg calculated one thing wrong, that is, the German counterattack may not be carried out during the day! It can also be carried out at night!

"The British thoughts were similar to what we expected. They wanted to use the old fortifications to survive the day, so they began to concentrate their forces to attack these places. In this way, the defense on the flanks was much worse. Our current task was to encircle the two wings, hold all the British troops who launched the attack before dawn, and then cooperate with the main force to eat the opponent during the day. The task was very simple, kill all the British people you saw, and then form a blockade line at dawn. That's it!" Lieutenant General Hall briefly assigned the task on the map. Then, without the British knowing [31 Novel Network], under the guidance of more than 400 tanks and armored vehicles, at least 6 divisions of German troops rushed from both sides to the depths of the British in the dark! When the British were preparing to use night to fight against the Germans, the Germans also thought so...

With the Germans' deliberate concessions, the British advanced very quickly. They had already penetrated the German positions 8 to 14 kilometers in one night. When the front line was lengthened, some artillery and logistics supply units with a relatively short range had to move forward. Marging in the dark is naturally a very troublesome thing, so when the British confirmed the safety of the rear, they began to set up troop stations and positions, and the light sources in these places guided the Germans' attack well!

"The British are really cooperative." Looking at the wilderness covered with lights in the distance, Lieutenant General Hall couldn't help but sigh. Then with a wave of his hand, the first wave of counterattack of the Germans started!

When wolf tanks and armored vehicles roared towards the British positions, a group of British people did not expect to be immediately counterattacked by the Germans on the newly occupied positions. They came too quickly! It was too coincidental that a large number of artillery had just moved to the position and were directly destroyed by the tank's artillery or tracks before it was unfolded. These huge steel giant beasts easily knocked over tons of artillery, and machine guns and grenades quickly harvested the lives of the British. However, under the impact of cluster tanks, infantry without anti-armor capability and artillery without infantry cover could naturally not last long.
