Chapter 208

Compared with the elegant and smart air force duel, the ground combat is not brilliant in any case. There are only cruelty, only blood and death.

In the open space, the bodies of French soldiers were all over the place, and a car had been completely destroyed. The flames were burning everywhere. There was still a slight heat in the crater, and there were lots of gunshots. Everyone would not doubt the cruelty of the war.

"Machine gunner! The French are attacking again! You guys, get the wounded down first! Come on! Anti tank guns in position! Cover our wings... Get the grenades ready. " "Signal the mortar positions in the back and let them fire to cover us!" one of the lieutenants yelled

Two soldiers carrying iron fisted bazookas passed by him and got into a hidden trench not far from the traffic trench. Their task was to defeat the French heavy tanks like mammoth elephants with their own weapons at the last moment.

On the German position, several soldiers with a wounded man retreated in the trench. Not far away, a machine gun position was spraying a long tongue of fire, making the unique sound of sawing wood like a German machine gun. The long flame of the tracer bomb flew to its target. Not far away, the French soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Since they set foot on this land belonging to Germany, they didn't seem to have a smooth life.

The tanks that covered the French infantry moved slowly on the battlefield, followed by the bent French infantry. Occasionally, a bullet flew over the tank and hit the people behind. More people began to adjust their positions to adapt to the enemy's attack direction. Not far in front of them, the remains of a burning light tank were smoking.

Suddenly, a stream of white smoke came out behind the Bush, and an anti tank gun flew straight to the French heavy tank. The powerful energy directly tore the thick armor plate in front of the tank, and flew into the cabin of the tank with the broken armor fragments, which made the people inside full of holes in an instant.

"Hit the target! 500 meters to the left! French tanks! They're firing at us! Adjust the angle! Come on Cried the antitank shooter. Next to him, several infantry and loaders are trying to adjust their guns. Not far away, the machine guns on the French tanks are firing fiercely.

The German infantry, who are good at fighting, set up anti tank guns in the bushes on both sides. This kind of 75mm caliber artillery can be said to be the enemy of French tanks. With its low profile and large caliber armor piercing bullets, it can easily destroy any armored target at a distance of several hundred meters.

"Let the artillery cover the enemy's position! Take out those anti tank guns! Otherwise my tanks will be lost here! " A French commander put down his telescope and loudly ordered to his adjutant, "we have lost seven tanks here!"

"Boom!"“ Boom! Boom With a loud bang, the French artillery finally fired, the shells patronized the German defense line, with a stream of black smoke, the German army was forced to give up part of the position, but soon the German artillery also asked the French.

A sudden firecracker of Frederick rockets killed and injured the French army in an instant. Hundreds of shells in the open space were ignited and destroyed. About 500 soldiers were killed, arms or thighs by this sudden attack. Some of the other side's gasoline in the corner was also detonated, several tank maintenance workers and a faulty tank were burned by deflagration fuel everywhere.

Ten kilometers after crossing the German French border, the French finally saw the real German defense line, which was only a temporary defense line in the woods. However, they have lost thousands of people in front of the defense line just a few hours after its birth, but they have not been able to break through the defense line and advance even a meter.

Garrisoned in front of them is the elite 7th infantry division on the west line of Germany. This division is one of the earliest model infantry divisions of the national defense force, with the most sophisticated equipment and the most determined will to fight. They only relied on a small amount of 75mm anti tank guns and iron fisted rocket launchers to beat back the French attack.

At this moment, in the division headquarters of the 7th infantry division, division commander major general Frederick is perfecting his defensive position. The attack intensity of the French army also exceeded that of the German army. While stopping the French army, the German army also paid the price of killing more than 400 people. This is not so much a battle in the Second World War as a continuation of the first World War.

"Hello? I'm major general Friedrich! Yes... I'm here... Yes! general! I will stay here for four hours and never step back. " Frederick put down the phone and looked at the map hanging in front of him: "order the troops of the 2nd regiment to set up defense around this village. I want them to stay here for at least 10 hours! Do you understand? "

"Yes! General The adjutant immediately replied, "I'm going to contact the 2nd regiment."

"In addition, put the division's Armored Artillery Battalion into combat and carry out a limited counterattack in the front to relieve the pressure of the whole defense line!" Frederick thought about it, and then said, "by the way, let the head of the logistics force check the ammunition and oil, and apply for replenishment."

"Sir!" An officer walked into the headquarters, patted the dust on his body twice, and then said with a smile, "the group army's supplementary soldiers have arrived, a whole company of new soldiers."“ Allocate to several companies with relatively large losses, and each company can add up to 25 people. Go according to this and try to add more companies. Almost all the front-line troops are asking for more. " The adjutant picked up the order which had been written for a long time and handed it to the officer: "next time we bring the supplementary soldiers who understand the medical treatment, we are short of medical guards..."... A Frenchman who was in a bad mood walked into the crude field command headquarters, threw his helmet on the table covered with clean maps, and made a "Ding" sound. Instead of looking at his officers, he grabbed a teacup on the table and poured the coffee into his mouth“ It's hard to imagine that such a rude man would be a magistrate. You seem more savage than a German. " A colonel turned his lips, looked at the man who walked into the headquarters discontentedly and said, "can't you be more civilized?"“ If you don't want me to break your neck, you'd better shut your mouth The officer wiped the liquid on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and exhaled: "Sir, my Division has suffered heavy losses at the front line. You told me that there is only one German regiment in front of me, but I have personally checked their firepower, at least one division." Sitting in the position of commander-in-chief was General de Gaulle, the commander of the French army. He was holding his chin and frowning at his strongest subordinate, major general forslow, who had just come in: "your division has been fighting for two hours. It seems that the German army has been strengthened. Let your troops withdraw. The news just came that the German Air Force has gained air supremacy, We have to retreat immediately to the Maginot line because we lack air defense weapons. "“ Are you kidding? Sir Frost looked at his officer with an unbelievable expression: "I left a whole 900 excellent soldiers around there! My army has 27 tanks destroyed there! Now you tell me to retreat? "“ you 're right! Retreat! This time we underestimated the Germans. We are not prepared enough to launch a large-scale ground operation here immediately. " With a sigh, de Gaulle explained, "if we don't retreat now, you will soon find that your division will be destroyed here."“ The air force's plane was knocked down? " Forslow was stunned, and then looked at his most trusted officer, Charles de Gaulle: "how can it be?"“ This is the problem of the technical department! There's a mess in the air force. We're like a bunch of idiots packing our fighters and sending them directly to the butcher's knife of the Germans. " "It's said that the Germans used the white smoke shells to attack you on the plane," said de Gaulle. This kind of weapons flew to our aircraft formation, so that we lost almost all the bombers“ My God Frost muttered in shock“ This time we lost. We lost completely. " Charles de Gaulle stood up, went to his favorite general and patted him on the shoulder with his hand: "in the telegram just received, there has been a voice of dissatisfaction with this battle in China. We can't win the battle now, so we can only try to minimize the loss." Just at noon, the French attack stopped, and the soldiers with white flags rushed to the German positions to negotiate, hoping to take as many of their compatriots' bodies as possible. After a brief discussion, the German front-line commanders allowed the French soldiers without weapons to go to the center of the battlefield. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the French army began to retreat. They loaded the body into the truck and left dejectedly. At dawn, they crossed the German French border with contempt, but now it turns out that they failed to complete their task, and they were defeated by the Germans. Soon, the German Air Force bombers flew over the battlefield and hit the defeated French troops. The bombs were thrown on the wilderness, sending groups of French soldiers to hell. Because of the lack of air force cover and the lack of air defense weapons, France left dozens of tanks and hundreds of cars to get away. When they returned to the position where they started in the morning, they found that many familiar faces were no longer visible.
