The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1436: Attack one

Chapter 1436

"Release the smoke screen and the troops retreat. Prepare to deploy on the spot!" A series of orders were quickly issued. The smoke screen released by tanks and mortars quickly enveloped the entire battlefield. Soldiers began to alternately retreat under the leadership of the officers, looking for bunkers to establish defensive positions , And the tank troops also retracted, and some heavy-duty vehicles began to return to the back to replenish ammunition and fuel. Under the cover of some troops, the accompanying repair vehicle also began to recover injured vehicles and materials on the battlefield.

A team of British DH7 light bombers appeared in the sky. These vultures quickly attacked the German troops that were on defense as if they found fresh prey. However, what they did not expect was that this time, they faced prepared hunters. Not a prey that can't fight back!

The three DH7 bombers lowered their altitude to about 150 meters, and then almost touched the ground and threw a 50kg anti-infantry bomb into the German army. As the bomb exploded, a series of dark eyes rose into the sky and spread around. In the end, each anti-infantry bomb has thousands of prefabricated shrapnels, which burst into the air and form a rain of death covering a radius of more than ten meters.

"The timing is perfect. The German **** plane has just returned, and the Germans on the ground have not yet formed a solid line of defense. Then we throw the bomb among them." A British pilot said happily, dropping the bomb. After that, these guys were still reluctant to leave and continued to use machine guns to prepare to shoot units on the ground. The British bravely lowered the height again. There are not many times when they can show the limelight. Now they want to show off the ill-will of the previous few days!

"Damn it!" However, some forgetful British did not notice that some vehicles pulled down the canvas covering the back of the carriage, and the dark barrels were aimed at the British fleet that was spreading death wantonly in low altitude. 20MM machine guns and 12.7MM machine guns aimed at these forgettable guys, and then sprayed out a fiery snake that was enough to make them unstoppable!

A British pilot suddenly felt his fuselage shook, and then he saw most of its wings smashed into the cockpit. Accompanied by a scream, the plane was directly photographed by the broken wings. For a while. Crashed to the ground.

The sudden air defense fire quickly formed a deadly fire net at low altitude. Thousands of bullets and artillery shells flew in the air to reap the "insects" that strayed into the net. A fire snake made up of 12.7mm bullets swept through the air, like a flame whip, which smashed a DH7 bomber. The other plane was directly hit by four 20mm shells in the cockpit before the pilot reflected it. , Wring the driver inside into a puddle of mud.

Another British bomber was lucky enough to avoid the flying bullets, but when he was about to pull up and escape, a German fighter jet dived head-on and easily smashed the opponent into pieces at a distance of less than 400 meters. . Even when the formed German fighter jets are switched, there are still elite German crews serving as hunting in this airspace. Their task is to freely hunt and kill all Allied air targets.

After 6 planes were killed in a short period of time, the remaining DH7 fighters did not dare to stay and quickly evacuated, and the German offensive came to an end temporarily, because they knew that it would be difficult to fight in the next tough battle!

"The British assigned the Japanese with additional naval artillery units. Although they were all 6-inch L40 guns or 4.7-inch guns removed from the old dreadnought ships, the gun mounts were also temporary bargains, but after all, they were cannons with a range. It's farther than our average howitzer, and it's powerful. This is very detrimental to our offense."

"In addition, like Britain and France, the Japanese army is also equipped with a considerable number of rapid-fire guns as anti-tank equipment. Our wolves and hornets have no problem resisting frontal, but they will not work on the side. And we must also guard against Japanese tanks. In the army’s counter-assault, although we destroyed nearly 80 various tanks this time, according to the organization, more than half of the Japanese vehicles were not used.” Lieutenant General Eric was 5 kilometers away from the front line. A meeting of officers above the battalion began. An officer began to introduce the enemy.

The armored division’s assault and attack capabilities are very good, but for this capability, the German forces also paid for it. For example, this time, the attacking force did not carry the heavy K09 150MM long-range cannon. This thing is too heavy and takes up too much transportation capacity.

Of course, if the German army turns around at this time, there is no problem. Even if the Japanese army catches up, it will be easily rubbed on the ground, but this is obviously a long distance from hitting the opponent, and it wants to completely hit or even destroy one. In terms of troops, in addition to his available forces on the front line, he must also deal heavy blows to supporting artillery and logistics units. And this, if it does not break through the line of defense, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

"It doesn't matter, the Japanese long-range howitzers are handed over to the Air Force to suppress them. As for the frontal attack? Let's add up, even if we can't put the Japanese division flags in the museum. But we must at least make them unable to fight again!" Lieutenant General Eric said.

At the same time, in the Japanese command headquarters outside Thessaloniki, a group of people are discussing something around the huge sand table. A subtropical depression called depression and depression is shrouded in people's hearts. The bulletin on the battlefield has just been sent. Not surprisingly, the Japanese still suffered heavy losses in this death. Even after thinking about the counterattack for a long time, we were killed by a backhand by the Germans who had been prepared for a long time~lightnovelpub.net~ We concentrated more than twice as much force but couldn't defeat a German armored battalion. This is simply intolerable. "Akiyama Haogu's slightly low voice was full of anger and unwillingness.

"Actually, if you consider that the Germans have invested in their new tanks, then this battle damage is fine." A French staff member whispered to his colleagues nearby. Whether it is an offensive or a defensive battle, the French and the Germans are almost always at a disadvantage in the exchange comparison on the Western Front, regardless of whether the result is victory or defeat, whether it is offense or defense. The proud French believed that since they couldn’t even do it, it’s normal for the Japanese to produce such a result. After all, from the battle reports, the Germans lost 89 in battle with Japanese tanks and tanks when they invested in new tanks. Vehicles, and the German loss seems to be 25 vehicles? !

Of course, if the actual loss is concerned, the Japanese are much bigger than the paper, because most of the German tanks destroyed were crickets, this kind of low-grade goods, and the Germans controlled the battlefield, and some damaged tanks could be brought back for repairs. If the Japanese tank was lost, it was a real loss.
