Chapter 1658： Overthrow

Chapter 1658 Destruction (2)

However, Major General Mike is still very confident about his combat effectiveness. The source of this confidence lies not in the armored vehicles and truck guns in his hands, but in the small half of the French division artillery he just picked up from the battlefield! 3 155MM howitzers and 5 105MM artillery, plus relatively sufficient ammunition, this is not a joke!

Although according to the latest information, there are at least 1,000 garrison troops in the opposite station, and an infantry regiment is stationed next to the station, but for the strengthened storm battle group at this time, his side is still full of firepower. Advantage!

"Get ready to attack! Don't save shells, give me the first time to suppress the opponent." In order to comply with Major General Mike's order, under the cover of night, the artillery position was also specially advanced to the front line, originally used for long distances. The suppressed artillery was directly hit on the French forehead. And at the darkest moment of the day, the third battle of the Storm Group finally started!

"What's this?" A French sentry stared boredly at the dark night. Suddenly, the light of fire suddenly raised in the night caught his attention. At a distance of about 4000 meters, a ball of flames rose from the ground. A few seconds later, a huge explosion sounded from a bunker 500 away from him! A plume of smoke rose into the air and blasted the entire bunker to pieces. You don't need to look at it to know that a 75MM rapid-fire gun and the on-duty gun group hidden in this bunker are completely finished!

"This is a large-caliber artillery! At least it is a 155mm artillery, and it is definitely not a mortar!" As a veteran of the Western Front, this sentry immediately judged the firepower level of the opponent from the power of the artillery. And from the opponent's range and the approximate flight time of the shell, he can judge that this should not be a mortar. The range of the mortar is not too far, and the flying speed of the shell is very slow!

A kind of inexplicable fear came to my heart, and the troops that can have 155MM artillery are at least the division level. "Could it be that a German division rushed to our hinterland like this?!" A terrible guess slowly emerged from the sentinel's heart.

"Maybe a small German unit brought a 150MM self-propelled howitzer?" The soldier tried to comfort himself. After all, this time they faced the Bavarian Corps, which had a large number of self-propelled artillery, so the small unit Is it possible to bring a large-caliber howitzer occasionally?

However, the subsequent roars of heavy artillery tore the last bit of French fantasy to pieces! The fierce firepower of eight artillery pieces of medium caliber and above instantly covered the positions that the French deployed hastily outside the station. And then the rapid firing sound of the 75MM artillery, which was dense like popping beans, completely shattered the French's will to resist.

After all, not all French troops can persist in resistance under adversity. To be honest, the two waves of combat quality and resistance that Major General Mike encountered before are still very strong. Although the night's sneak attack was a crushing situation, it was based on the sneak attack and absolute firepower. How strong can a divisional guard battalion be? It was normal for the infantry regiment that came to face the ambush of more than brigade-level artillery to sink the sand. Although the battle during the day was won, the Major General also lost his blood. Although the French lost, their performance was still above the standard.

But tonight, the major general’s luck was better. He ran into a troop with a low combat effectiveness and a small number of troops, the so-called 1,000-man garrison, of which about half were railway soldiers and engineers. The railway is a good player, but what about combat effectiveness? It should be at the same level as the cooking class...

The fierce artillery fire instantly suppressed the few French artillery and machine gun positions. The temporary bunkers constructed of sandbags, stones and logs could not stop the attacks of artillery of various calibers. The French hastily established a line of defense and rounds of fire. Turned to ashes in the waves.

Under the cover of machine gun fire, the German infantry, who had been close to more than 300 meters away from the French army’s position, launched an offensive. Between the ruined walls and trenches, they used submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles to quickly harvest the remaining lives of the French army. The noose generally tightened gradually, and eventually wiped out the wave of French.

The entire battle lasted not long. The French infantry regiment next door began to prepare for reinforcements, but it was also beaten back by fierce firepower. This was just an ordinary infantry regiment, and the number of 75MM rapid-fire guns was not enough for 8 or even When the latter realized that the station could not be kept, he took the initiative to retreat and temporarily distanced himself. So, less than an hour later, Major General Mike and his staff set foot on the station.

"It seems easy," said an officer standing among the ruined walls.

"When you have 6 75MM rapid-fire gun companies and 2 howitzer companies, it will definitely be easy to attack a station with less than a thousand defenders. The French artillery has helped us a lot." Major General Mike looked satisfied. Let’s look at the situation on the battlefield.

"However, our battle has just begun. Tomorrow, we will face the French who flooded like a flood! Therefore, we must now build a breakwater immediately!" said the major general.

According to the law of conservation of RP, although the German army quickly captured this vital station, there were not too many heavy equipment and ammunition in the station to supplement this wave of transportation. Some of them are fuel, food, and various tents. There are some ammunition, but not many.

But at this time the Germans could not control other things. Using this last period of time, the Germans built a new position based on the French position, and at the same time used the buildings, wagons, locomotives, or everything else in the station. The things above serve as obstacles and shelters. At the same time, the major general also sent a telegram of the successful plan to Earl Schmidt. A big net has been unfolded and will eventually be gathered!

This was two consecutive nights of sleep and was awakened. Xia Fei, who had just slept for less than 2 hours, was called out of bed again. The general who got up very angry wanted to find a punching bag and furious, but when he saw the intelligence After that, I only felt a cold air rushing directly to my forehead from the tail vertebrae, and instantly turned into cold sweat, and the brain that was still somewhat confused immediately woke up. Even the hand holding the telegram trembled slightly.

"This is really terrible!" A thought popped out of Xia Fei's heart. He even regrets that he couldn't withdraw directly to the beach at the beginning. If he does not withdraw directly, at least some people can be saved!
