Chapter 674: Tank Assault One

Regarding the prince’s suggestion, Baron Schmidt was still very serious. On the two wings, the Baron left some guard troops, and at the same time used the 75MM rapid-fire guns and 2-pounder guns on the half-track vehicles as anti-armor forces. All the assault guns and tanks are left as the reserve team. It seems that an armored battalion has a lot of troops, but after the actual deployment, it still feels a little stretched!

  "The Bavarian armored forces have moved!" At this time, the Prussian airship patrolling at the highest point of the battlefield suddenly found that under the cover of billowing smoke, huge fronts composed of gray-black queues were advancing quickly to the east! If the only advantage of the Prussian Army in this exercise is to be said, it is probably the reconnaissance advantage of the airship. In this era, the flying height of the airship is higher than that of the aircraft, and the cruise time is even more terribly long. The so-called opportunities are for those who are prepared, and this time, the Prussian's efforts are really rewarding!

"It's magnificent." Count Zeppelin, who personally piloted the airship, was a little dumbfounded to watch the armored group that was rushing on the ground. The gray-black paint shone with a strange luster under the sunlight. The thick and long 75MM artillery concentrated. The most cutting-edge steel behemoths, as well as the other chariots behind them, and the torrent of armor composed of more than 200 vehicles of various kinds give people an unstoppable feeling.

  Think about it, even in the 21st century, most people will at least feel moved when they see a uniform formation consisting of hundreds of heavy vehicles, but now? It can be said that none of the people present have seen such a large-scale mechanized formation. These heavily armored cavalry are just like the Teutonic Knights of the year. Do not move like a mountain, move like aggression! When the attack in a wedge-shaped formation appeared in front of the Prussians, many people felt unmatched. A feeling of cold suppression appeared in the opponent's heart.

"Prepare to fight!" The armored forces of this era are really slow to move. The speed of the Hufeng assault gun in cross-country conditions is 10 to 15 kilometers per hour, and the airship's warning gives a certain amount of movement to the Prussian artillery group. The preparation time, and these Prussian artillery elites, really used this time to fight an anti-tank resistance battle that is not bad in this era.

  Because it is an exercise, it is also impossible for both parties to shoot directly on the body. The tank may be able to block the 3-inch gun. What do you do with the unprotected rapid-fire gun? Therefore, in the end, the armored force still hits the target, and the rapid-fire gun can use the small-caliber artillery to use the low-speed 37MM shells filled with fuel to attack the tank.

   So just entered the position, and the 77MM rapid-fire gun preparing for the historical guest anti-tank gun was swept by a round of high-explosive bombs before watching the Bavarian attack echelon... Two reconnaissance planes flew over the position of the Prussian Army quickly. "A suspected artillery position was found in area 15 and requested fire coverage." With the spread of Morse code, the self-propelled howitzer located behind the offensive force first attacked the artillery position on the flanks of the attacking spearhead.

The howling of heavy artillery shells fell from the sky, and soon covered the artillery positions in the open area. The Germans had carefully studied the coverage efficiency of the artillery. At the beginning of World War I, a standard 4 artillery company was stared at by a 150MM heavy howitzer. After going up, it takes about 120 shells to destroy more than 75% of the targets. According to the rate of fire of a cannon of 2 to 3 rounds per minute, it is about 20 minutes.

  The explosion of the dense 150MM heavy howitzer and 105MM light howitzer shells came from the target area. Under the guidance of the aircraft, a rolling barrage swept step by step from the position to the other side. The plumes of smoke and gunpowder in the sky also told the Prussians that the Bavarian Army is coming!

   "The general, towed artillery and self-propelled anti-tank artillery have arrived. We can launch an offensive at any time." An officer reported to Mackensen. At this moment, the Prussian mobile corps has also been in place, this time Xiao Maoqi and others concentrated almost all mobile forces and rapid-fire guns. Victory or defeat in one fell swoop.

"Wait, they haven't penetrated into our defensive positions, and the planes in the sky have not appeared." Mackensen said a little nervously. His anxiety still comes from the lack of power in his hands, and he can really treat Hu Feng. Assault guns and cricket-type tanks pose a threat only to rapid-fire guns. The 50MM guns equipped with the best wheeled armored vehicles in hand may have a chance to hit the sides at close range. If they rush forward, they will die.

Therefore, he hopes that the most complete situation is that the Bavarian armored forces are deeply wedged into their own defensive formation, and then wait until the air force is also up, and the defensive system that he has deployed is about to collapse before it collapses, then he will go up again. ! Well, that's it, the war is so cruel, some people are destined to be MT to pull hatred.

   "The opponent is playing very steadily, not greedy or advancing, and advancing step by step." This is the evaluation of the Bavarian Army by a Prussian officer who participated in the world's first large-scale anti-armor battle.

"Stop at 2 o'clock, one high-explosive bomb!" House on the left flank commanded, an 18-ton Hu Feng-style assault gun slammed into a car~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With a tremor, the battlefield finally stopped. Stabilized, the huge artillery began to slowly rotate, the loader loaded the ammunition cleanly, and then the machine gun fired three short shots to determine the trajectory, and a 75MM high-explosive round shattered a wooden model hidden behind the bunker.

There is no problem in splitting the opponent’s line of defense frontally. In fact, the Prussians also know that the real difficulty lies in the depth and the expansion of the two wings. At this time, the attacking force will be squeezed by the opponent’s counter-attack force and the side force. It’s been squeezed out again. And because the attack surface is wide, the enemy may be attacked everywhere with limited forces, which requires cooperation.

  House’s Hu Feng began to turn to the left to attack, and another cricket-style chariot quickly came to House’s right, cross-covering Hu Feng’s exposed weak armor on the right wing. The turret of the tank played a huge role at this time. The 40MM rapid-fire gun with high rate of fire and large ammunition was briskly harvesting the target. With the supply of 7 rounds of bullets, the muzzle of the cricket-type assault tank responsible for cover was almost absent. After stopping, the flames continued to gush out, suppressing the surrounding targets.

All the assault guns and tanks formed an action team to expand to both sides, and the accompanying infantry came down from the crash car and quickly filled the gap between the tanks. They used squad machine guns and submachine guns to clear the trenches, always on guard. Possible anti-tank fighters on the other side. The troops that were originally deployed in a wedge shape quickly became an umbrella outfit. Began to rapidly expand the results.
