Chapter 1590： Confrontation 2

Chapter 1590

"Fire! Kill those machine gun firepower points!" The covered wolf tank quickly locked the exposed machine gun position, and the rapidly rotating turret pointed at the target. A 75MM artillery shot out tons of grenades and instantly sent a dozen machine gun positions. Mopped up. The sound of the tank attack seemed to sound the horn of progress, the German armored forces began to accelerate, and the infantry also assumed a posture to issue the final charge!

The fierce confrontation always stimulates the nerves of the French. When the Germans suppressed the machine gun firepower and prepared to charge, the long-hidden French 75MM rapid-fire gun finally started shooting. They first aimed at the wolf tank at a distance of 400 to 500 meters, and fired a dense armor-piercing projectile! The remaining machine gun group also began to counterattack the German infantry.

Boom! Tons of artillery shells flew to the front of the German tank unit, and a column of gray-black smoke surrounded the moving tank. The rapid and violent shooting swept the battlefield like a steel storm, trying to shred everything they could touch!

"Put smoke bombs, evacuate! Follow up on the flanks!" Facing the sudden blow, the Bavarian armored forces demonstrated extremely high quality. The smoke bomb launcher on the tank first fired a series of smoke bombs. After ten seconds, the tank The front is shrouded in smoke. Taking advantage of this time, the tank that had entered the French range quickly retreated in reverse gear.

While retreating, the German counterattack also unfolded. The tanks originally located on the two wings of the wedge formation quickly approached their opponents, pulling the formation from the wedge into a linear shape! A cannon aimed at the firepower point exposed by the French at a distance of 800, and the fierce side attack fire followed before the French could react.

Just as a French gunner tried to distinguish the outline of the German tank in the smoke screen, the dull sound of the rapid-fire gun firing came from both sides. Looking sideways, one by one orange fireballs quickly flew towards the French army. In the position, the powerful high-explosive bombs easily blew up the chest cavity next to the bunker and exploded the artillery and the battery into pieces!

The fighting between the two sides itself is not equal, the heavy tanks wearing strong armor and holding sharp blades deal with anti-aircraft guns that cannot move and have extremely poor protection. Once the other party is exposed, it means that it is not far from death! More importantly, the horizontal firing range of war defense artillery is very narrow. If they want to attack the enemy on the side, they must first redeploy the artillery. However, the Germans will naturally not give the French time to redeploy. When lifting the monopod and dragging the artillery hard to turn, the artillery of the German tank and the firepower of the infantry in front crossed together, forming a fire net that could shatter everything!

The brief hesitation and convulsion were enough to make the French lose their last chance. The tank that had retreated from the front rushed up again after the French's firepower was weakened. Together with the mortar group and a half-track vehicle carrying a large-caliber machine gun! The latter even advanced to a distance of no more than 300 meters from the French line of defense! Suppress all the French infantry and machine gun groups in the trench with the brutal machine gun firepower!

Engineers rushed up to clear the minefield with detonating cords. The machine gun group covered with cross-fire at a distance of about 250 meters, while the pioneer squad with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles rushed into the trenches, first with a round of assault grenades. A section of the trench was instantly flooded by firelight and gunpowder smoke. After determining the safety of the breakthrough site, the pioneer team jumped into the trench and used submachine guns to clean up the remaining infantry. Then think of the rapid-fire gun position to attack!

When the last French rapid-fire gun group was destroyed by a 120MM mortar, the entire position was declared lost, and the remaining French army without anti-tank weapons chose to surrender. The following infantry entered the position and began to collect weapons to deploy defenses. After a short supply and adjustment, the tank troops moved towards the next line of defense!

"Awesome!" It took less than 30 minutes to watch the Bavarian Legion break through its first line of defense. Major General Daville had to give a very high evaluation of the Bavarian Legion's combat effectiveness even if it was an enemy! From a tactical point of view, it is actually the cooperation of the tank and the infantry team. If it is war chess, Major General Deville can also figure it out, but in actual combat, the French absolutely cannot play such a cooperation!

The Bavarian Army reflects the overall quality! Each of them knows what to do at a certain point in time! Major General Daville even suspected that when the German tank attack formation changed from a wedge to a horizontal formation, and then from a frontal attack to a side attack, when the anti-tank gun counterattacked, did the commander of the German armored force give orders? command! Did the opponent complete the tactical switch spontaneously!

After all, the radio of this era is like a coffee table, and the number of attached devices is definitely not too much. Information transmission is a problem in itself. If you want to command a tank unit with just a few words or signals, in fact, it depends more on each other. The tacit understanding and cooperation between. You can understand that this is the "micromanagement" of the battlefield.

The control of the tank forces is so painful, then the coordination between tanks and infantry is even more troublesome. To tell the truth, so far, the French's tank-tank coordination is still in the scope of tanks helping infantry block bullets and cleaning firepower points outside. To put it bluntly, the French used the tank purely as fire support for the infantry in the offensive. The two sides are not actually integrated. However, look at the Germans. While the tanks are clearing fixed firepower points, the infantry also takes the initiative to help the tanks deal with anti-artillery and possible threats. The tank was suppressed, the infantry broke into the wedge, and then the tank followed up to expand and consolidate the breakthrough, and then together with the infantry to shake the opponent's entire defense line!

The Bavarian armored force is so powerful that the firepower and forward seamless docking between the two sidesHow can the machine guns and mortars of the infantry and the flat firepower of the tank match so well? ! The French said they were puzzled!

Of course, the French can find many reasons for their failure if they make excuses, such as lack of firepower suppression, for example, lack of tightly fortified positions. But in fact, as a commander from the Western Front, Daville knew very well that the French army might not be able to do better if it was changed to the Western Front! After all, as the offensive side has the initiative to control the battle, if the Bavarian Legion attacked, how could it not concentrate its superior long-range artillery to suppress and divide?

Therefore, if it is considered to support artillery, this is actually a reduction of the French army. In the same way, in terms of military strength, the French still have a slight advantage this time. If there is an offensive war, Bavaria, as the offensive side, must be the dominant force. Although the lack of a solid position is indeed true, look at the sky. Today’s weather limits the attack of the Bavarian Air Force, so be content! Really on the western front, facing the attack of the Bavarian Legion, the French will only perform worse than today!
