At first it was a point, then it quickly spread to the surface, and finally it collapsed overall! The poor communication made the friendly forces next to it unable to tell the situation. Looking at the panicked colleagues around, the remaining people chose to follow the trend. Some of them even chose to retreat before they were attacked because of their location problems! In the end, the French armored corps that rushed like a tide faded away like a tide, leaving hundreds of wreckage of chariots and thousands of lives on the battlefield!

"We seem to win?" Schmidt climbed out of the Hu Feng-style command car. This was no longer his original car. His own chariot had been left on the front line. A shell pierced through the combat room, and the splashed debris left a deep scar on his face. Then his head was covered in blood and moved to the current chariot.

The French collapsed, and the Bavarian armored troops were approaching their limits. Just now, the French encountered the last line of defense in the middle of the Bavarian Legion. Schmidt concentrated all the things that could be used as anti-armor weapons, even including 105mm and 150mm howitzers... Behind this line of defense, the only anti-armor unit is the cluster grenade in the hands of soldiers...

"Mr. Commander, your phone number." A staff officer sent a phone number to Schmidt.

"The French retreated, we won, and after we received the supplement and cooperation of the two wings, our road to Reims will be unobstructed, and the French will not have the opportunity to organize another counterattack of such a scale. However, our troops suffered heavy losses. Our most elite armored division and the reserve team lost half of the chariots. Nearly 30% of the personnel died in battle." Schmidt first reported the situation on the battlefield to the prince.

"Very good. In the next at least one week, our armored troops can be adjusted well. The door has been opened. The armored troops on both sides have suffered heavy losses, and the rest depends on the infantry." The prince said.

"Have you ever thought about what if our last line of defense can't be held?" Schmidt, who relaxed, said half seriously and half jokingly.

"The local situation may be a little more troublesome. The key to the problem is not where the French can fight, but their military strength loss. When their military strength drops to a certain level, the so-called breakthrough is just a joke." After a moment of silence, the prince said.

"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Schmidt said.

As the prince said, the French failed this counterattack this time. The failure of the armored assault was one of the important reasons, but not the entire reason, and it may not even be considered the main reason! It seems that the French were defeated because their armored spearhead was not sharp enough to penetrate the opponent's defense line, but in fact, the armored troops were still the best among the French troops! Other French troops could not accuse the armored troops of the faults!

"We have at least fought over most of the German armored forces, and the air force could not stop the Germans from rampaging. The competition between the infantry troops on the ground and the German infantry division can be described as one-sided. I do not accept any insults or slander against the French heavy knights!" A French armored force commander wrote in his diary after the battle.

This is also true. The fundamental reason why the German Empire was frustrated at the beginning of the war can actually be attributed to the issue of transportation capacity and equipment. Overall, the comparison between German military power and the military power of the Allied Power is actually better than history. But as it still goes, you have 100% of the combat power, but you can only play a small part in a certain battlefield.

Germany was the same at the beginning. The most elite and most powerful armored forces could not quickly reach the battlefield due to transportation problems. The Bavarian Legion, which accounts for more than one-third of the German armored forces, even fought against the Russians in the Far East. The Air Force did not attend due to combat radius issues. The new equipment that His Highness had high hopes for actually did not even display 30% of them.

On the other hand, on the Allies, the landing of the British naval guns made up for the shortcomings of long-range heavy artillery, and the armored units created by the French made up for the shortcomings of breakthrough methods. However, these tactical advantages of Britain and France were only to successfully block the opponent's footsteps on the border when new German equipment could not be fully put into the battlefield. And most importantly, these materials were not obtained for free, either consuming originally limited industries (such as French tanks). Or consuming original inventory (such as British train guns).

With the recovery of transportation capacity, after the German heavy equipment and the Air Force were launched on the Western Front, the British and French troops were immediately defeated. Germany also had train guns, with more heavy artillery troops, and with more superb artillery techniques, it became inevitable that the British train guns would be suppressed. French armored forces had absolutely no advantage in facing the Bavarian Legion, which had become a system, system and air force support. Relying on their powerful numerical advantages, they fought against the Bavarian Armored Corps in the middle and suffered both losses. But for the prince, everyone had fought all the strongest things, so I won. What's more, the French had not fought all yet!

There is no gap between the French infantry division and history, while the German infantry division is equivalent to the enhanced version of heavy artillery in history. Everyone's armored troops are almost the same. Ordinary infantry divisions have become the main force. The French cannot even defeat the German divisions in history, let alone fight the current enhanced version! Then failure in the following battle is inevitable. As long as the Germans defend the gap and a large number of troops pour in, the Germans have no reason to lose. What's more, according to the principle of conservation of national strength, in a certain period of time, when the overall national strength has not improved, there will be more tanks and artillery, and after leaving the tanks, the French's defense is even worse than history!

Therefore, it can be thought that before the German legion once again failed to shrink to a certain level due to insufficient transportation capacity, the German legion's progress was unstoppable! In this battle, the Bavarian legion did suffer heavy losses. To sum up, the three breakthrough point light tanks lost a total of one division's armored forces. Fortunately, the prince's troops controlled the battlefield and could recover damaged equipment from the battlefield. The losses of personnel were relatively low, but it was probably several months to recover. Experienced combatants were more difficult to recover than equipment.

Compared with the more difficult middle lane, the advancement of the first and second German armies on the northern front was much smoother. On the one hand, it was because of the obvious advantages of military strength and equipment, while on the other hand, the French's armored forces were attracted to the middle lane, and the British army was much worse than that of France.
