The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 786: Heaven and Earth III

The French 11 Armored Battalion, which was serving as a flank attack, was stunned as soon as it entered the battlefield! "On the front of us less than 1,000 meters wide, the other party concentrated dozens of artillery! Their line of fire is very low, and the muzzle is only half a meter from the ground, and they are covered with camouflage nets, even to prevent the artillery from raising. Hui even splashed water on it! This is a perfect trap. The company I belonged to was mostly killed in the first time!"

"Countless fire dragons are flying close to the ground. They are as terrible as the curse of the banshee's vicious and life-threatening! The several tanks in front of me were shot dead by platoon guns. They were hit by fierce fire almost at the same time. The sour clashes and tears, explosions, and screams of survivors on the armor turned the entire battlefield into a hell. We haven’t even been able to see the entire defense of the opponent’s position. Our battle. It's over!" A French officer who was captured after the war described the situation.

"Also, the 6-pounder gun made by the British is really easy to use. It is small in weight and powerful enough." After easily destroying an ft10 tank with a 6-pounder gun seized from the Russians , A German artillery said while drawing a white line on the shield of the artillery.

What the prince brought from the Eastern Front was not only his own armored troops, but also a large amount of seized materials that were eye-catching! Among them, 107mm artillery and 57mm artillery are the best, the former makes up for the number of long-range light artillery. The latter made up for the lack of flat guns. The power of the 75mm artillery is actually a bit surplus. For the troops in motion, the power is sufficient, but the lighter and larger ammunition is obviously better. And these artillery really came in handy at the critical moment. The two-wing fast divisions used more than 70 6-pounder (57mm guns) and more than 40 medium-caliber rapid-fire guns to make the four French armored battalions hit their heads. .

The mine array in the front and the fire support points built up by the artillery as the pillars of the company as the unit are also mixed with anti-tank teams using large-caliber machine guns and cluster grenades in the middle. This is simply designed for the French crispy tank! In an arc-shaped preset position, a huge number of French tanks were onlookers with no less than their own flat-fire guns. Dozens of artillery were madly directed towards hundreds of meters away with an average of at least 8 shells per minute. French armored forces opened fire.

Thousands of shells fired within a few minutes not only broke the French tanks to pieces, but also wiped out the few infantry and vehicles that followed. The wall of fire composed of shells and flames continued to roll on the battlefield, whether it was a Renault tank or ft10. Once the infantry is involved, there will be no bones left. When the tank cannot provide the infantry with fire cover and resist the attack, when the infantry is too late to clear the mines, obstacles, and anti-tank fighters hidden in the dark, the so-called infantry coordination is a joke.

It is true that after the first round of blows, the French’s subsequent tanks quickly identified some targets. At a distance of 300 to 700 meters, the two sides launched a frantic shooting. The shells of various calibers and countless. The bullets flew to the opponent, and a net made of steel and flames kept reaping the lives of both sides. When the German shells successfully smashed dozens of French tanks to pieces, the French firepower also Killed the battle defense artillery in the surface position.

The remaining French tanks stubbornly moved forward. They crossed the line of defense, crushed artillery and machine guns, and developed in depth. But soon, one after another anti-tank teams used their large-caliber machine guns and even suicide-like grenades to attack the tenacious. Blocked the French forward.

"The power of the cluster grenade is so great. Seven defensive grenades are trapped together. Six of them have their handles removed. The bomber is holding the middle handle. This extra-large grenade light explosive weighs more than 2 kilograms! Each defensive grenade charge is 300 grams), the huge explosive power can even destroy the Renault tank directly by the detonation wave. But such a weapon is also very dangerous for the user, I have seen the attacker and the tank die together more than once. Scene."

No one can consider all the situations on the battlefield. Even after strengthening the anti-armor force, the infantry anti-tank is still a very threatening task, and the grenadiers who have rushed into battle use their own blood or even in the loud noises. Life blocked the French's final charge on the two wings! When the last group of anti-tank fighters on the second line of defense silently picked up the strapped grenades and prepared to attack, the French finally stopped, and more than 70% of the casualties eventually collapsed the French!

The gunpowder dissipated, and on a position less than 1 kilometer wide and 3 kilometers deep, the French threw away more than 60 various chariots, plus thousands of infantry. The corpses of the two sides were piled up and down. The blood was mixed and it was no longer possible to distinguish each other. Hundreds of various vehicles and a large number of artillery like steel tombs told the cruelty of the war~lightnovelpub.net~ At the same time, More large-scale battles are unfolding in the middle, and there are still at least 5 battalions of French armored units and German legions fighting for the final victory!

Most of the Hufeng assault guns are deployed in a double-row staggered formation in the center, with a large number of cricket tanks on both sides. Baron Schmidt rushed to the front line himself. At this time, all the divisions were on the battlefield. Behind them was the last armored reserve of the Bavarian Army. Apart from them, the prince could not even come up with a usable armored unit!

"Fire!" When the French armor torrents were 1200 meters apart, more than 20 Hufeng-style assault guns launched the first round of shooting. Apart from the smashing, the remaining French safely avoided the first round of shelling. And this round of artillery bombardment sounded like the horn of the French's final attack, and all French tanks began to burst into crazy pigs!

"We are rushing towards the target like crazy wild boars. You will never understand this fear. As long as the opponent hits, we can easily break all our tanks into pieces from 1200 meters away! And we, if we want to penetrate the cricket , The 75mm gun is about 500 meters, and it may take about 350 meters to penetrate Hu Feng. If you are the kind of guy with a lot of track shoes and road wheels, I still suggest that you hit the side will be better. So, once Germany If people open fire, then there is only one way for us, and that is to charge! Immortal endlessly!" recalled a French officer who survived the battle known as the steel meat grinder.

The third one is here~~~! One more!
