Chapter 2044: Assault One

"Your Excellency Commander, all the troops have entered the designated positions. The friendly forces have helped us down the last line of defense of the French army in the middle of the night. Crossing these lines, we entered the plain area without shelter. The reconnaissance team that came out has found the law. The army, judging from the current situation, they are moving, they have not built a position, and have not found a large-scale armored force." A staff officer told General Schmidt.

　　 "This is a good sign." The admiral nodded in satisfaction. "Their performance is much worse than that of the French guys in Turkey. Are all the French guys who can beat them dead?" This half-serious and half-joking sentence caused a chuckle next to him.

"Okay, let's do business and issue an offensive order! Our mission is assault! Assault! Assault! Destroy all enemies and supplies along the way! Shatter the French belly like a sword!" The admiral issued an attack. Order, and at this time, with the rising sun, the roar of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles broke the tranquility of the morning! The attack of the Gustav assault group has begun!

The armored spearheads of hundreds of tanks and assault guns were quickly uploaded from the French positions. When they finally crossed the trench area and entered the plains, the two German armored divisions quickly formed a pincer-like attack formation. Behind the giant clamp is a mobile strike group composed of three German fast divisions. According to the information provided by the forward scouts, the first target of the Gustav assault group is the two French infantry divisions slightly ahead!

　　 "Damn it, how come we were the first to go to the battlefield!" A French soldier cursed in a low voice while taking a bite of freshly baked brown bread.

　　 "Relax, boy. We are just flanks, used to cover the main force, and the front is attacked by others." An veteran nearby comforted. "We are still more than 40 kilometers away from the Germans. Even if they attack us, we still have enough time to repair the bunker and wait for reinforcements from behind."

　　 After this veteran had a sip of a paste made of animal fat, vegetables, rice, and some invisible things, his face suddenly changed slightly! (Yes, the French classified rice as vegetables during World War I, so it is normal for rice to appear in the so-called vegetable soup!)

　　 He felt the ground shaking, and the water cup placed next to him was shaking slightly, as if he had been frightened. From time to time, some water splashes on the liquid surface.

　　 "Guys have a situation! Someone rushed towards us!" The veteran threw away the lunchbox in his hand and picked up the rifle next to him, and a few minutes later, a panic assembly whistle sounded in the French army position. And the sound of guns from a distance told the French that the Germans are coming!

"Crush them!" Admiral Schmidt put down the telescope in his hand and gave an assault order. The noisy French army in front of him really made him uninterested. The French on the opposite gave him the feeling that he was chaotic. When the army was close to less than 5 kilometers away, the French long-range artillery had not yet fired, which made the self-propelled artillery unit that had already launched an anti-artillery operation very embarrassing... As a result, part of the artillery resolutely performed fire support tasks, and under the cover of the 150MM heavy grenades that fell one after another, the German armored forces launched an attack!

"Perfect transformation!" At this time, Lieutenant Paul, sitting in the cockpit of the OnePlus K4 bomber that assisted in reconnaissance in the air, witnessed the whole process of the German armored forces' attack. The German tank group that was originally marching in two columns began to move quickly. In the transformation, there is an armored battalion. The first company is walking in the front. After receiving the order, they begin to control their speed. The second company behind is deployed to the left and the third company is deployed to the right. A few minutes later, at a distance of 1,500 meters from the enemy's position, the three armored companies of the entire armored battalion had perfectly transformed into a wedge-shaped formation. Each platoon of subordinate tanks also formed a small wedge. Keep a straight line distance of about 70 meters between each tank.

Behind the tanks, a large number of armored vehicles followed immediately. The vehicles carrying mortars were at the end of the battle and were already deployed. They were prepared to use M heavy mortars to provide support, while the tank companions were carrying machine guns Half-track armored vehicles fill the gaps between tank units. In less than ten minutes, the Germans had completed the tactical deployment, pressing like an iron wall against the French army on the opposite side!

"Fire! Hurry up!" When looking at the German tanks on the opposite side, the only thing most French regiments could think of was to immediately use their precious rapid-fire guns to counterattack. The French forces of the two regiments formed a loose In the defense line, the soldiers deployed machine guns and artillery as the center under the scolding of the officers. In the plains with almost no bunkers and cover, the first battle between the two sides kicked off against the backdrop of the rising sun!

　　 At a distance of 1200 meters, the French opened fire, and the pulsating spots of light were shining in the smoke. A few seconds later, the artillery shells roared into the German offensive formation, bursting out black smoke pillars beside the tank~www.wuxiaspot.com~German armored soldiers listened to the clang of shrapnel and dirt on the tank. The sound, I severely despised the quality and will of the opposite Frenchman!

　　 "They are far inferior to their previous enemies. At least in Turkey, the French anti-aircraft guns have never fired first at a distance of 700 meters!" A German tanker commented after the war.

　　 The continuous attacks of the French exposed the firepower, and at a distance of 800 meters, all German tanks almost invariably chose to stop! A series of tracer bullets landed on the French army's position one after another. These red-shining bullets were like the gaze of death, which made people palpitating. After a while, the German tanker launched the first round of fire attack!

　　 Accompanied by the continuous fire from the muzzle and the shaking body, the dense cannonballs hit the French position like a head! The German attack was short and deadly. In less than half a minute, at least a dozen French 75MM rapid-fire guns and nearby French soldiers were broken into pieces. The frontal French firepower dropped to a level in an instant, and the remaining artillery was even more crazily thinking about the German shooting. They didn’t care about the hit rate at this distance or whether they could penetrate the opponent’s armor, they just hoped through this method. To suppress the fear in my heart!

One shell landed on the German front, and occasionally some shells hit the front of the tank. However, there was no use other than leaving a deep or shallow pit. The German tank was as relaxed as a **** of war. Destroying everything that happened, this quickly dampened the morale of the French.
