The rolling dust of the French tank appeared in the field of vision of the telescope, and Snyder found that he might have to reconsider the original plan.

He had not taken into account the queue length of French tanks before. The French tank marching column was longer than he thought. The space between the front and rear of the tanks was at least fifteen meters. It seems that the German Air Force did give these French people a good yesterday. In a lesson, these proud Gaul roosters left serious sequelae.

But now this formation makes the German hunters hiding in the bushes frown. They don't know where to start now.

The French tanks drove one by one from Snyder's eyes. Before he counted the eighth, the French tank on the head was close to the front of the German ambush position, and the report said Those b1 heavy tanks and those cars have not yet appeared from the other side of the road.

You can no longer attack the middle of the French column according to the original plan, otherwise your tank group will be detoured by the French tanks. Such consequences are absolutely catastrophic. Snyder knew that the side armor of the Type IV tank was not strong enough to withstand the bombardment of French 37mm tank artillery.

Snyder decided to shoot early. He secretly prayed that the French would not react too quickly after the front team was suddenly attacked, otherwise his tank company would be caught in a tough battle.

"Pay attention to each row and listen to my orders."

Snyder said softly to the communicator: "In order, each row chooses its own target."

Snyder held down the microphone and lowered his head to his gunner. He said: "We are aiming at the ninth, armor-piercing projectile. Be sure to hit.

"Observe, sir." The gunner Hank replied in a whisper. He turned his head and ordered the armor-piercing to: "armor-piercing projectile." Then he leaned on the gunner's sight and began to aim accurately.

Hank gently stepped on the turret rotating pedal. In the low running sound of the electric motor and the slight metal friction sound from the turret seat ring, the tank turret carried the short, somewhat ridiculous 75mm artillery as the target moved slowly , The experienced gunner had pressed the h35 to the reticle in the sight.

"The armor-piercing projectile is ready."

The loader Karl pushed a capped armor-piercing projectile into the barrel of the gun, and the tank gun automatically closed the breech to make a crisp metal impact.

"Vehicle groups follow my orders."

Snyder stood tall on the turret and raised his chest, then shouted loudly: "Fire!"

As soon as the voice fell, a roar of cannon came. The fiery muzzle flame lighted the dark trees of Yin, and the shock wave of the muzzle blew the grass and dust on the ground in front of the tank. The dense bushes on the front of the tank were torn apart by a strong shell shock wave, and the front armor of the tank was covered with broken branches and leaves.

"Hit!"

The gunner cheered loudly in the tank, but Snyder now had no time to celebrate. He yelled eagerly at the communicator: "All attention, immediately leave here and rush out at full speed. Each row chooses its own target, zi Luring shots. Pay attention to the formation, stop shooting shortly and try not to stay.

"Observe, sir!" Four platoon leaders answered firmly in the headphones.

Snyder raised his right hand and waved forward vigorously, then shouted loudly at the communicator: "Armored troops! Advance!"

After a harsh mechanical start, the dull roar of Maybach's engine reverberated above the woods. Snyder's armor company lined up in a neat row and began to assault. The No. 4 tanks overwhelmed the bushes in front of them with a careless attitude, and then roared towards the French tank group 500 meters away.

But no one noticed that there was a conspicuous gap in this beautiful line, and Snyder's company did not appear where they should be.

"What happened! Rawwick!"

The poor company commander jumped and roared with his feet on the captain's pedal, but his tank engine just kept making a sharp start-up sound, that was, he could not hear the exciting low roar.

"I don't know, sir! It was okay half an hour ago, but now... **** thing, move me quickly!" Rawick also sweated anxiously, and he quickly checked the readings of various meters. , Tossing each main electrical switch back and forth, repeating the starting action skillfully over and over again, but the tank engine still has no movement.

"Hurry up, attack, leave me alone!"

Snyder stood outside the turret and waved his hands hard while shouting loudly at the wingman tank car who was looking at himself in doubt. As a wingman of the company, he had to keep up with the long car, so 302 The car did not follow the offensive queue but stayed. The captain nodded quickly, and with a roar, the second car of Lianbu rushed out of the bushes, leaving only a thick smoke drifting slowly among the trees.

"Damn, you **** thing!"

Snyder jumped and cursed his car. There was already a gun and explosion on the road in the distance. His company had caught fire with the French, but as the company commander, he was still in the woods. Li and his tank nausea. Snyder was about to go crazy, but Tank 301 didn't give the commander a face, and the engine kept Snyder from hearing what he wanted to hear except for the kind of hateful start-up sound.

"No matter, I'm going to command in front! Hank, you and the others stay here. This car is now under your command! Use the cannon to teach the French hard." Snyder completely lost to starting 301 Confidently, he decided to leave his car and chase his company on foot. Although it would be very dangerous to do so, he couldn’t do anything while staying here. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. He had to command the battle on the front line. He now regrets why he didn’t walk with tank 302.

"But sir, this is too dangerous." Hank stopped loudly.

But Snyder did not answer the gunner's words, and he began to climb out from the turret. Just when he stepped out of a leg from the turret, the engine of No. 301 roared with a crisp detonation, and the tank company commander who was caught off guard was startled by the sturdy, poor result. At one point the tank was planted from the turret.

"God, this thing is really a **** dog mongrel, ha ha ha ha ha." Snyder couldn't help but overjoyed, he found that only this kind of swearing could express his current mood.

"No need to say, go at full speed. Armor-piercing projectiles." Snyder jumped back to his seat and ordered to his subordinates loudly.

"Observe, sir."

"The armor-piercing projectile is ready."

Listening to the short and powerful answers from the subordinates and the roar of the engine, feeling the vibration and shaking of the tank as he traveled, and smelling the propellant fumes that had not yet dissipated inside the turret, Snyder felt that his condition had never been better.

With a burst of tree branches breaking, No. 302 rushed out of the woods and came to the dazzling sunlight. Its gray armor plate was still scattered with various stumps and leaves, like a fully armed ancient Germanic warrior covered with small bits and pieces, roaring and rushing towards his enemies.

When Snyder rushed out of the woods and came to the battlefield, he realized that the situation was not as bad as he thought. Although there was no unified command, his company still performed very well.

These tank captains are all experienced veterans, and the four platoon leaders are veterans among the veterans. After discovering that the company commander did not keep up with the team, they did not panic. The rich combat experience made them have a private tacit understanding. The four tank rows were divided into four small clusters to cooperate with each other. A French tank was scrapped into scrap iron.

At this time, on the narrow road and on both sides of the road, more than ten H35s were shot into the **** of fire and smoke. The ammunition that was continuously exploded was like fireworks in the festival from all exits of the French tank to the surroundings. The splash made the wreckage look like angry little volcanoes.

The body of the French tank driver was twisted and scattered around their car, and some soldiers were still holding their pistols before they died. These modern chest cavalry used their blood to prove that they are the same as their predecessors. The fearless warrior, unfortunately this time their opponents are much stronger than their predecessors encountered.

Snyderen's first attack caused heavy losses to the French armored soldiers. Although the h35 is the best tank in France at present, although it has a very good bulletproof shape and heavy frontal armor, the German tanks accurately hit their key points. Its side armor is only 23 millimeters thick. The 75-mm German armor-piercing projectile can penetrate it easily beyond 1,500 meters, not to mention the short distance of only 500 meters.

The French armored forces took a fierce blow from the Germans without precautions. The breastplate cavalry who exposed his soft flanks lost a total of six tanks during the first salvo of the German tank company. Two of them were seriously injured.

The sudden attack caused the French armored forces to fall into chaos for a time. The surviving tanks quickly drove down the roadbed, but the tanks of the squadron accelerated to catch up, and the French tanks were huddled together.

It is even more incredible that no one was able to say clearly where the attack came from and what attacked them. This caused some tank captains to even look up and search for German aircraft in the sky. Trace up. Only when the German tank rushed out of the woods and approached 300 meters away from them did the French talent understand who attacked them.

However, the shortage of radio equipment prevented them from quickly organizing their defenses. In the chaos, no one paid attention to the semaphore of the command vehicle. As a result, two h35s became German armored soldiers during this time. When the French tanks were freed from the chaos and formed into a defensive formation, all fifteen h35 tanks had only three poor tanks left at this time. The German tanks are close to within 100 meters, which has reached the distance of short soldiers.

Four tanks and seventeen tanks were arranged in three diamond-shaped impact formations. They quickly advanced towards the three French tanks, while still using machine guns to fire the French tanks that escaped from the destroyed tanks in time. hand.

Since the escape from their tanks, the brave French soldiers have been shooting at the control tower of the German tank with a self-defense pistol. Although this attack can’t take the tank, it has brought the captains standing on the control tower. There is no small threat. In order to protect their own safety, the German tankers had to fire on the tough French counterparts. The fearless courage of the French tankers left a deep impression on the German tankers present.

The three impact formations quickly dispersed, one of which contained the firepower of the French tank in the front, while the other two began to detour toward the flanks of the French tank. At this time, Snyder's tank entered the battlefield.

"Pay attention to the formation! No need to go round and press like this." Snyder shouted loudly at the communicator.

"Observe, sir. Why are you here?"

The four-row problem caused Snyder's heart to have a colic.

"Some glitches occurred in the front and have been eliminated."

Snyder answered angrily.

At this time, the follow-up troops of the French Tank Force appeared on the road. Several military cars painted in simple camouflage quickly rushed towards the battlefield, followed by a team of light trucks and a British bullfight. Dog communication car, they may have heard the explosion in front before speeding up. It seems that these French people have not yet understood the situation on the battlefield. Those cars are rushing towards the German tank group without knowing it. Snyder can't help but smile when he looks at the undefended targets.

At this time, the last three surviving h35s were desperately driving backwards and retreating. They must not turn or turn now and run away, which would expose their fragile sides in front of the German tank. The French tankers struggled to keep their frontal armor facing the enemy. They hoped to rely on their 40mm thick front armor to resist the German attack. As long as their backup troops were not destroyed before they arrived, then they might be You can also get a first-line life.

The h35 has been slow to move forward, and even slower when going backwards. While retreating, the French tankers continued to use their short-barrel 37mm artillery and machine guns to resist weakly. In addition to the possibility of causing some damage to the external equipment of the German tanks, these weapons also caused damage to the tank 4. The front armor of the aircraft could not pose any threat at all, and the crew in the tank could not even feel that they were hit if they were farther away.

The German tankers are now looking at the battle in front of them with a game. In the end, the three No. 4 tanks ended the final struggle of the three tanks with high-explosive armor grenades near the h35 fifty meters. In the violent explosion, Snyder clearly saw that the turret of one of the tanks was lifted high, and then rolled to the ground on the side. The huge fireball was mixed with black smoke and rose into the air. Like a fire dragon stretching its wings towards the sky, there is a trace of magnificence and beauty in terror.

The exploding fireball also seemed to alarm the French cars that were rushing towards the battlefield. They stopped slowly. After staying in place for a few seconds, the French finally saw the German tank and the rushing towards them. The burning wreckage. The car team quickly started a chaotic U-turn, and then retreated at a faster rate than it had before.

Snyder is certainly not willing to give up these prey. The smooth battle in the early stage and the poor performance of the French armored forces in command have established him confidence in or final victory. He feels that relying on himself may really be able to stop The advance of the French armored forces reversed the situation of the entire battle.

German tanks started to chase those enemies who had fled along the road with the highest speed. The command communication vehicle convinced them that it was a French command that fled in embarrassment in front of them. No matter what level this command was, destroying it would be a great achievement.

However, the speed of the No. 4 tank can't be compared with the car in any way, especially when the other party is running away with one heart, only chasing less than 300 meters, the French have already crossed a small dirt **** on the road from Snai Disappeared in De's vision. Prior to this, the French threw away everything that would hinder their escape speed, including the 105mm anti-aircraft gun that made Snyder worried. Looking at the cannon that was abandoned on the road, Snyder couldn't help Feeling ashamed of the French officials, if they have half the courage of those French tank drivers, then it is likely that they ran away.

It was only after the French campaign ended that Snyder knew that at the time he was completely wrong. The French officials did not lack courage, but they did not know that anti-aircraft guns could also be used to fight tanks.

"All the people stopped advancing, we can't catch up with them. The French still have six b1 tanks that haven't appeared, we haven't won yet, pay attention to the fine ring, and switch to a defensive formation."

Snyder stopped the advancement of his team, and the company began to re-form. Under the command of each platoon leader, the German tanks quickly arranged an arc defensive formation centered on the company.

"Now each row reports the loss." Snyder said loudly.

"No loss in a row."

"No loss in the second row"

"There was basically no loss in the third row. The communication antenna of car 332 was blown away. I ordered him to follow me."

"There is basically no loss in the four rows, a pair of load wheels of No. 343 car is damaged, but it does not affect the action.

"Very good. This means that we have a beautiful victory in front of us. When the battle is over, I think you will add another medal to your chest." Snyder said with a smile.

"Yeah, maybe you will get a first-level iron cross." A row of long Zaft answered with a smile.

"The French are here!"

As a captain shouted, everyone looked towards the small soil slope. I saw a tall black shadow slowly appearing on the top of the slope, and after a pause, it slowly started to move towards the German tank group under the earth slope.

"It's the French b1 type. Everyone noticed that we never played with it. Be careful. The whole team started to retreat and distance."

Snyder commanded loudly that the German tanks began to retreat slowly. Before he could figure out the other party's reality, keeping the distance was a safe method.

When one **** shadow after another appeared on the top of the slope, Snyder felt a little uneasy from the bottom of his heart. The number of b1 tanks in front of him obviously exceeded six. Did the French armored troops get new reinforcements, Or maybe they just met their forwards.

At that time, Snyder had absolutely no idea that the battle was only a real start, and he and his tank company would face the most severe test.

The first real armored battle in this battle will be between Snyder's company and France's most elite tank troops.

This is the beginning of the last struggle for the French Army. Is the resistance of this small tank company of Snyder to break the last straw of the French army's huge camel spine? No one, including Snyder himself, Can speak clearly.

There is another point that Snyder did not know, but even if someone told him at the time, he might not believe it, just as he faced a hard battle with the French main armored force three times his size, one The highest-ranking support force in the history of the German Army is advancing rapidly towards him.
