Chapter 1584 Ambush (2)

The mortars deployed at the back also took advantage of the situation. They aimed at the transport vehicles behind the convoy and the half-track vehicles on both sides. The high-explosive bombs roared and flew to the target hundreds of meters away. Piles of smoke were in the French infantry convoy. After taking off, with bad luck, a Citroen truck with a squad of soldiers was blown to pieces. The French officers tried to reorganize the army. Trucks also drove away from the roadbed and were ready to unfold on the opposite side. The soldiers hurriedly got out of the truck. Roll down, then picked up their rifles amidst the squad leader's scolding, ready to find the enemy who attacked them!

The continuous shelling on the left exposed the position of the Bavarian Army’s ambush position. After the initial chaos, with the help of the roadbed, terrain and the cover provided by the destroyed truck, the French began to launch a counterattack. The 75MM rapid-fire gun of the FT10 tank and Infantry mortars fired dense shells against the distant bushes. With a violent explosion, patches of bushes were swept down, and two hapless truck guns were destroyed in the French counterattack. The Renault tank took the French infantry and began to charge.

The dominant French gradually recovered their decline. They deployed rapid-fire cannons, howitzers, mortars, and machine guns on the opposite side of the roadbed, scattered along the road, covering the infantry who launched the charge, and covering the dense fire. Next, at least two companies of French infantry formed a skirmish line and began to outflank the two wings.

"We were ambushed by the Germans, but we quickly controlled the situation, and the other side had no tanks!" The French officer who led the team was reporting to his superiors by radio, but what he did not expect was that they were several hundred meters behind them. At a distance of 300, 8 rapid-fire cannons and a dozen machine guns were aimed at the back of their heads!

The so-called open gun is easy to dodge and dark arrow is hard to defend, boom! With the sound of guns and intensive machine guns again, when the French thought that they had stabilized the battle, the knife stabbed from the back was cleanly inserted into the heart of the French!

"The French almost stood there and let us fight, and then we killed them one by one on the ground like shooting prisoners." After the war, a German soldier recalled the situation like this.

Accompanied by the flames of the muzzle jumping, the first row of shells flew straight to the French tank not far away. An FT10 tank was shot first. The sharp armor-piercing shell easily slashed the rear armor of the former with only 10mm, and one end. Hit the ammunition rack! Dozens of legal 75MM shells were instantly detonated. The explosion of hundreds of kilograms of shells was not a joke. It was like a hurricane on the ground. Flames and shrapnel swept the surrounding area of ​​tens of meters with continuous explosions. ! A cannon and two machine gun sets beside it were blown to pieces together!

And this is not over yet, the other five FT10 tanks that survived the first wave of strikes were also brutally murdered in less than one minute. Then there were the remaining artillery positions. More than 80% of the French were shattered by grenade and high-explosive bombs before they even realized what happened. Countless shrapnel and steel **** swept across the unobstructed battlefield, leaving behind a flame and broken limbs. After a burst of rapid firing, the remaining French artillery was swept away. Only a piece of debris was left.

"Get out and kill them! They no longer have anti-tank firepower!" The battle has now entered the harvesting stage. The remaining few Renaults of the French will naturally be dealt with by truck guns on the other side, and now, on their own side Truck artillery and a small amount of infantry can easily defeat this French army.

First, a few half-track vehicles rushed out of the bunker. The large-caliber machine guns erected on it kept shooting at the French soldiers who were fleeing. The dense bullets easily caught up with the collapsed enemy forces, and then from them Behind him were killed one by one in the wilderness.

The battle started very suddenly and ended very quickly, and the whole process lasted more than twenty minutes. The Germans did not pursue too deeply, because not far behind the pilot convoy was the main force. When the ambush truck gun knocked out the last shell, the blocking line in the south was already on fire with the French. . Although the latter only used mortars for interference shooting, it also sounded a wake-up call for the Germans. If you don't leave, it will be too late!

The semi-tracked vehicle took away the infantry walking around, and the truck gun walked cleanly. They will go to the next assembly point to meet the supply vehicle and replenish ammunition and fuel, leaving only the bombshells, corpses and the remains of the French tank still burning.

"Our avant-garde was attacked, and the opponent's firepower was very strong, and the avant-garde force was almost completely lost." At the same time, a telegram also told Xiafei about the situation.

"The Germans have set up a line of defense in front of us?" Xia Fei frowned, and a sense of crisis emerged from the bottom of her heart. Although he boldly implemented the interspersed plan this time, it was implemented when it was determined that the Bavarian armored forces had not arrived. Now, a ghost that has been lingering in his heart finally appeared, although he said he was not afraid, but The Bavarian Army, which has never failed since his debut, is still his heart's enemy.

"It's not a defense line~lightnovelpub.net~ or an ambush. It should have been done by truck guns. After they finished fighting, they immediately moved their positions. Judging from the traces they left, it should be a small team with not many troops." Said the officer.

"Well, tell gentlemen, our tour is over! Now, let's get ready to fight the Germans!" Xia Fei stood up and said, "Order, the troops in front are ready to leave the road and launch an attack formation. Self-respect and support troops are also ready to deploy, we will first establish the command post at this location!" Xia Fei pointed to a small town on the map, which is about 5 kilometers away from his main force, west of the town. The surface is a river with very shallow water. Even half-track vehicles can pass through, but it can also provide the water needs of the entire army. There are woods next to the town, where you can hide your long-range artillery and heavy troops. To avoid possible air strikes from the opponent, know that as the troops advance eastward, the cover provided by the British short-legged fighters becomes weaker and weaker!

But what does one say? What the French can think of, the Germans can think of it too! Xiafei saw the convenience of this small town, but the Germans also saw this easy to defend and hard to attack place!
