Chapter 1633: Rushing To Depth 2

Generally speaking, artillery positions constructed in a short period of time are difficult to hide well, and these things will naturally be discovered by aerial reconnaissance and then marked on the offensive line of the German Army! Before the tracks of the German armored forces arrived, the accompanying 105MM and 150MM self-propelled artillery had already lowered its support, pouring a deadly rain of bullets against the marked French artillery positions in the distance!

The size of the position of the French 105MM howitzer is similar to that of the 75MM rapid-fire gun. According to the calculation of the Germans, about 150 rounds of 150MM heavy grenade can easily cover this position. Even with the protection of the breast wall, but because the shooting distance is closer, So it won't use many shells.

Several weasel-type armored vehicles rushed through the French defense line as forwards. In the dark, the higher speed made it difficult for them to be hit by artillery shells. They soon discovered the brightly lit French artillery position, even through the telescope. You can see the busy French artillery a few hundred meters away,

A few minutes later, a series of artillery shells fell on the busy French artillery positions. The artillery in the circular gun nest, the ammunition storage yard behind the artillery and the vehicles next to it were covered by a dense rain of bullets in a short time. , The barrage of 8 150MM howitzers and 6 105MM cannons rolled back and forth on the narrow artillery position. Ten minutes later, the 6 105MM howitzers in the entire artillery position vanished in the flames and smoke, and accompanied the artillery position. What was left was more than 30 vehicles of various kinds and nearly two hundred Allied soldiers.

In this short and efficient attack, the German armored forces did not participate in the battle! At this time, they were attacking the French army in depth, and before they went far, Rommel and others found the French army reserve gathering position not far behind the position!

At this time, on the front yard, the Bavarian Army demonstrated the well-trained and superb night combat skills of an elite unit. The tank troops were at the apex of the offensive formation as much as possible. On both sides were half-tracked vehicles and armored vehicles that were responsible for cover. In addition to using machine guns against French infantry that might appear at any time, they also used searchlights and headlights. The frontal armored forces provide cover, so that the German tanks at the forefront are always in a shadow, but at the same time, they can clearly see the situation in front of them!

The first thing that appeared in front of Rommel was a team of French tanks. They just launched and are adjusting their formation under the guidance of the commander. A dozen San Mongsa tanks and the huge bodies of the FT10 moving hard at night seem to be conscious. When the crisis lurked in the dark, one after another aimed the hardest armor and slender artillery ahead, but the Germans would not give them a chance after all! The shells roaring out of the darkness easily beat the distant tanks into piles of wreckage at a distance of 500 meters.

The tank troops in front swiftly across the battlefield like a comb. They cleared all the heavy weapons and firepower points that could be found. Then, a large number of accompanying infantry descended from the half-tracked vehicle and followed the tanks and armored vehicles to clear the scattered and fled. French infantry. Under the fierce attack, 40 tanks and various vehicles of a French armored battalion, as well as at least 900 French officers and soldiers, were all lost in less than 45 minutes, and just when the tank troops stopped for a short rest. , Another light armored unit has blown up a certain French military station into the sky.

The whole chaos lasted for about 2 hours. When the weather gradually brightened and the German armored forces that had been fighting for the night were a bit tired, the two sides could breathe. In the darkest time before the dawn, both Germany and France decided to go first. Take a break and prepare for the fight tomorrow morning.

The supply vehicles that accompanied the troops quickly replenished tanks and other vehicles with fuel and ammunition. The officers and soldiers of the Bavarian Army were surprised to find that the French 75MM rapid-fire artillery shells could actually be used on their own tank artillery... Then coupled with the seized fuel, the combat effectiveness of the German armored forces was quickly restored. (Ruprecht said that the Bavarian 75MM artillery is almost an improved version of the M1897, the core components are similar, the shells can naturally be used... In fact, a very important reason for this is that the French 75mm shells and shells are very heavy Appropriate, it is the best choice.)

"The more difficult battle awaits us tomorrow. We can't stop, because once we stop, the French can calmly concentrate several times their strength to surround us. In the rear of the weak French army, they can only move and let France. People can’t catch up with us is the best way!"

"So, tomorrow, I order wheeled armored vehicles and some half-tracked vehicles to form a rapid force. Your task is to penetrate as deep as possible to the place. The depth of the entire French theater is about 40 kilometers. They smashed the railway line and the road to pieces. And our remaining brothers will fight a few field battles with the French in the wilderness!" The German officer in charge of one of the assault groups ordered.

The Bavarian Army made a pretty good start. It was nothing to eliminate a large number of enemies. The key was to disrupt the deployment of the French army. They had penetrated the French frontier division's defense line. If you continue to move forward~www.novelhall .com~ The French army's first-level logistics units and military firepower are exposed to the sharp lances of the Bavarian armored forces! If the newly formed armored vehicle unit does not entangle with the French and uses its own high-speed interspersed, it will not be difficult to reach the real rear of the French. If this goal is really to be achieved, then the entire French army will be supplied. I'm afraid there will be a problem!

Although Bavaria has concentrated 5 troops and launched a breakthrough, these 5 troops are relatively concentrated. They have created a fragile area with a width of about 25 kilometers on the front of the French army. The second line of defense in this area has been opened. After several points, the French troops stationed in this line of defense also suffered heavy losses, and the French artillery units supporting this line of defense have either been destroyed or shivered under the German tank guns. More importantly, the entire line of defense was from the inside. All in a state of chaos outside!

After the rear was caught off guard, the French gave full play to their subjective initiative. All the reserve forces were put into battle, ready to kill the German troops interspersed to the rear of the French army. However, at night, how could the movement of troops be so easy? Take the Bavarian Army as an example, but the middle area of ​​3,000 meters walked for about 40 minutes without any disturbance!
