785 Heaven and Earth 2
A large number of artillery also entered the combat position, with more than three-digit self-propelled howitzers, large-caliber mortars and towed artillery completed behind the three divisions. Sometimes, what determines the battle is not how many artillery you have, but how many artillery you can use in key areas! Although the number of artillery is not large, the caliber of this mobile artillery is generally above 120mm, and its range and power are far from comparable to the large number of 75mm artillery on the opposite side.
At the same time, the remaining nearly 9 armored battalions of the French have been re-concentrated, of which 7 armored battalions form the forward. There are also two armored battalions and the broken troops at the back door as reserves. Judging from the front-line armored forces, the French have a huge advantage in numerical power, and the Bavarian armored division on the opposite side has also suffered losses, while the French are confidently prepared to launch an attack!
The French also had a large number of mobile artillery soldiers. The French inherited their excellent traditions. The automobile industry was relatively NB. Even in a hurry, they could pull out a large number of truck guns and truck-torn artillery. However, they also inherited the problems of the French army in history - there were too many 75-speed guns, and the large caliber long-range weight was too small. So this made the French artillery very unstable.
"Carry an attack according to the scheduled plan, and each unit eliminates all enemy targets on its attack line. Let's start, God bless France!" Lufu's combat plan is very simple. Each armored battalion attacks according to the scheduled line, and then the infantry and artillery behind him follow. This seemingly rough tactic is actually helpless. Although the attack is not big on the front, for the French, they never thought of investing more than 300 tanks at the same time and launching a large-scale armored attack with the opponent.
They just used tanks as weapons to assist infantry breakthroughs and the opponent's armored units. They did not establish a complete system, and did not consider how to use such a large-scale army, let alone create a relatively complete liaison system like the Bavarian Legion. The adjacent battalions may be a little cooperative, so don't think about the three battalions, and they will be messed up directly. Not to mention the synthesis between different troops, the French just piled up the troops on the battlefield, and when used, they still fought their own! This is even more difficult to improve than equipment! The system was being developed for more than 8 years before the war in Bavaria!
"Why can't we wait for the Germans to come?" asked an officer.
"Their planes are coming, and their number of planes is even more than our 75-speed guns. Every minute we have passed, our chances of winning are decreasing!" It seems to be to confirm Lu Fu's words, a team of K-4 bombers came to Lu Fu's command post and wandered around. It was not that the Germans knew the location of Lu Fu's command post, but because a 75mm artillery battalion was just about to go to the battlefield. 16 75mm artillery pieces, more than 30 various vehicles, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were hit from the sky!
"Two in one group, wheel attack begins!" With the order of the squadron leader, 12 k-4 bombers were dispersed into six teams in two aircraft. With fighter escorts, these black death gods arrogantly reduced their altitude and speed.
"Let's fly over their scalp!" In a joking conversation, the first bomber team launched an attack. A series of small pylons located on the belly of the aircraft opened one by one. A pile of high-explosive bombs weighing 25kg were first unfolded on the road. The continuous explosions directly broke the convoy driving on the road.
Flying over almost the height of trees, the speed is the speed limit level of the expressway (the lowest), plus the reasonable scope and the target on the ground, the first round of attacks was quite good to kill. At least 4 trucks and 3 cannons were restored to parts by bombs falling from the sky.
The one behind seemed to see flesh and blood vultures. Six bombing teams dropped bombs at a low altitude in turn. After the high-explosive bombs, anti-infantry bombs and incendiary bombs took turns to bomb, the last two teams felt that it was not enough, so they thoughtfully threw a large number of anti-infantry butterfly thunders on the ground. These warheads may have only one bullet-sized part-time jobs, which are a model of the Bavarian army's black-hearted technology!
These mines are very small, and even one person cannot be killed by the warhead, at most one leg is broken. However, the problem in the war cannot be seen like this. If a person dies, then he will die. If he is more lucky, he will collect the body. If he is not lucky, he will throw it away directly. But if he is injured, then there are other miscellaneous people involved in the rescue, and the other party must reduce at least 3 to 4 people! This is more effective than killing directly! More importantly, a person is disabled and still has to eat and consume supplies, but cannot go to the battlefield! This transaction is too profitable!
The convoy that was directly targeted naturally could not escape, and was directly beaten by bombs and subsequent consecutive strafings. However, the convoy was still unlucky. The air force that slaughtered for a round of air forces placed the target on the French troops behind. Large-caliber machine guns and special bullets were fatal to all non-armored units. Like this squadron, hundreds of bombers and single-engine fighters kept hovering in the sky and firing French troops with almost no air defense capabilities, this completed from quantitative change to qualitative change! From the beginning to the trouble, to the disaster now!
Many convoys try to leave the highway and pass through the wilderness. Trucks can actually make do with it, but if you tow another cannon, it will be different! Many vehicles fail or fall into pits. Chaos extend from the road to the fields, and for these things that are almost as bright as lice on a bald head, the Luftwaffe will naturally not let go. After a series of large-caliber machine gun bullets, a truck and the ammunition truck behind them turned into ashes in a loud bang.
Before the French could enter the battlefield, most of the French were destroyed by bombs, wilderness and crowded roads. The French armored cluster that attacked the front also encountered trouble, because as many as 9 armored battalions did not completely crush the Bavarian armored forces as the French imagined!
With the arrival of the two wings, the Bavarian First Armored Division began to shrink the front and handed the side to the infantry division with a large number of anti-tank guns with confidence. The French are attacking and we are defense. Since we can use a large number of cheap anti-tank guns to block the opponent, why do we have to waste precious armored troops? In this narrow position that cannot be selected for the offensive location, the artillery must defend evenly in defense battles, which leads to the dispersion of firepower. In addition, the defense of the French armored units is indeed poor, so the lethality of these artillery is quite amazing!
