Chapter 1585 Ambush (3)
The town itself has buildings and woods next to it to provide cover. It is an excellent position. There is a river to the west. Although there is water, it is not deep. Tank troops can go straight past. But the truck is not good. If the French are willing to chase, Mike doesn't mind firing a carbine and teaching the opponent how to behave when he is away from the infantry.
"Let their main force pass, and we will attack the back-up vehicles behind." Mike can already use the binoculars to watch the French armored units on the distant road. If the front is strong, he must be at a disadvantage. After the town, there is no cover at a distance of nearly 4,000 meters. If you drive over, people may have started a battle formation, and the artillery has been set up. Waiting for you to hit it up, so when you launch an attack at this distance, you can only target logistics units that have little combat effectiveness. 25 Wolves can’t fight the French armored forces, but it’s okay to fight artillery and cargo convoys, right?
However, what Mike did not expect was that the French troops actually... Actually rushed to the small town where he was ambushing! In order to conceal, Mike did not turn on his own radio station, and at this time, the German troops who were being transferred also did not have time to report the situation, so Mike did not expect that the troops in front of him would actually change the plan of the French, and the thing that is so dying is that, Mike and Xiafei chose the same location! So Mike was dumbfounded as he watched hundreds of various vehicles rushing to his ambush position like a billowing torrent...
"Fuck! Ready to fight! Get close before you fight, and fight the threatening ones first!" Mike could hardly tell his current mood, whether he was excited or fearful? ! It may be both, but it is undeniable that today's battle is definitely unavoidable!
Mike picked up the binoculars again, and he began to check the field of vision for the last time. Behind the French queue, he saw some new tanks. From the outline, it should be the French Saint Monza, but The distance is too far to reach each other. The French did not seem to find themselves, proving that most of them are half-tracks and transport vehicles, and there are some tanks, but the position seems to be back.
"Fire!" When the French approached 700 meters, the German tanks fired the first round! Just like the queuing guns of modern times, the momentum of 25 tanks firing at the same time is still very sufficient. I saw a ball of fire in the woods and some places in the town at the same time in the distance, and the smoke raised by the artillery shot from various places. Gush. Dozens of shells were shot directly on the head of the French army eager to occupy the town.
boom! Accompanied by a series of explosions, several semi-tracked vehicles and trucks were beaten into burning fireballs, and shrapnel spun out and swept down the infantry next to them. Before the French reacted, the second round was the third. A round of volleys followed, and the entire front, which was not wide, suddenly seemed like a field of Shura. The wrecked tanks and vehicles completely blocked the path of follow-up troops.
"The troops are deployed immediately! We were attacked by the enemy!" The French officer commanding the front team responded quickly. A small number of tanks continued to remain in check on the front, while the rest of the tanks began to outflank the two wings. But unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was a bit close, and the French army trying to outflank the woods just happened to send their side under the muzzle of another team of wolf tanks.
"Keep shooting! Kill them!" The number of French tanks was a little beyond the German imagination. A group of tanks circling from the side was ambushed in the northeast of the forest. A platoon of tanks had just been killed, and a FT10 and Renault tank appeared. In the smoke. The French also quickly discovered the German tank hidden in the woods. At a distance of more than 600 meters, the two sides fired at each other.
After fighting for more than a year, the French artillery shot is still good. Although the German tanks are wearing camouflage nets, the sharp-eyed French still saw the German tanks partially hidden in the woods, and one round of 75MM shells was madly fired. After the wolf tank in the distance, a tank with a bad position was instantly surrounded by flames!
boom! The shells kept hitting the front armor of the tank, the explosion sound and the tearing sound produced by the warhead passing through the steel plate were endless. The personnel in the tank felt as if they were in a big bell, and the hammer that struck the bell was French. Armour-piercing bullets!
Fortunately, the armor plate on the front of the Wolf tank is still very powerful. The continuous shooting of the FT10 tank did not destroy the tank. This unlucky tank was hit at least 8 times! The frontal armor and the peripherals next to the turret were all bombed out, but not a single shell completely penetrated the armor.
"Pull up the reserve team and stabilize the flank!" There are too many Frenchmen, especially on the side. Some tanks are already close to 400 meters, and an FT10 shot through a wolf. Side armor of the tank! The tank platoon on the flanks has been reduced in personnel, and the number of destroyed and injured tanks has reached 3. The French also left at least a dozen wrecks along the way!
"We can't fight like this! Let the troops withdraw! The long-range artillery immediately launched the attack. Send San Mengcha up. Send another team of tanks from the back of the town to outflank!" Xiafei decisively issued an order to suspend the attack. It's not that the French can't overwhelm the opponent In terms of numbers, there are not many opponents, but it is obviously impossible for the French to beat at least 5 for 1 ratio! In the short span of less than half an hour, the loss of various vehicles and tanks of the French has exceeded three figures! Among them, at least 60 tanks were destroyed, and one battalion was destroyed in a daze. This is simply too sad!
"The French seem to have evacuated?" A German captain labored to open the hatch. He just exposed half of his body from the car, and the gunpowder inside also poured out. The shooting was too fast, and the tank’s There was another problem with the exhaust fan, so if he was not wearing a gas mask, the gas in the tank would suffocate him.
The captain threw down the gas mask and picked up the binoculars to observe the battlefield in front of him. The French had retreated. The battlefield was filled with the wreckage of various vehicles. Except for the crackling noise when burning, the entire battlefield was caught in a temporary state. calm.
"Side! Something is coming!" The German soldier in a wolf tank next to him immediately noticed a fierce firefight erupting in the southern part of the town. Obviously, the French did not give up, they are ready to copy the Germans' back path!
