Chapter 1660 The last battle (1)
"French tanks are coming up!" Through the commander's command tower on the turret, Rommel found the French tanks looming in the smoke, which made him feel a lot of peace. As a qualified commander, in any Don’t underestimate your opponents. The French can play against Germany for so long. They must have the skills. Therefore, along the way, Rommel is calculating how much power the French have, especially how many tanks they have. !
Maybe some people say that these things are useful as a grassroots commander of an armored force? Please, this is how far-sighted is, think about those who become big things later, who is not foresight? Napoleon said that soldiers who didn't want to be marshals were not good soldiers. When Dunnitz was in the British prisoner-of-war camp, he was thinking about the future of submarine operations. In the same way, Comrade Guderian did this. Why can someone achieve a career later? Have vision, be prepared, and put it into practice. This is talent!
Rommel was naturally unable to grasp the intelligence of the entire battlefield, but as the spearhead of the attack, he could clearly feel that the resistance of the French was very weak. It cannot be said that the French are not firm in fighting, but what about your firmness? Facing the torrent of iron and steel, the use of flesh and blood and a few anti-armor weapons can be useful! In the end, it was just a wave of starting points before being crushed.
But this did not make Rommel feel relaxed, because the enemy army that should have appeared never appeared, which is a very disturbing thing after all. For example, when the two sides are playing StarCraft 2, when you obviously started your investigation, you found that the opponent's Protoss had hidden a group of electric soldiers, but when the battle, the front chased after the loud noise, but there was no electric soldier. You said you are worthless. ? Are you scared? What if a transport plane of the opponent flies by, and throws the electric soldier directly, and comes with a lightning matrix. For the same reason, Rommel has always been on guard against the armored forces that the opponent might attack, so as not to be ambushed.
Therefore, when the French tank appeared, Rommel first breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again, because the current situation is very wrong! The French came out with light tanks this time. In frontal field battles, they used Renault and his like against the Wolf tanks. Isn’t this looking for death? The French are not without the FT10 tank and the more powerful San Mongcha. There must be something tricky in it!
"There may be a problem ahead!" After thinking about this, Rommel ordered the entire attacking queue to slow down, and at the same time asked the accompanying mortars and howitzers to keep up as soon as possible. Facing the French light tanks in front of him, Rommel sent out the weasel-type armored vehicles that had been used as reconnaissance units and provided flanking protection. The latter’s 40MM cannon is sufficient against French light tanks.
As a result, a peculiar scene occurred on the battlefield. The French Renault light tank collided with the Weasel armored vehicle of the Bavarian Army. The latter took advantage of higher mobility. (Under the same power, the wheel speed is naturally much better than the crawler. ) More powerful firepower (40MM cartridge guns are naturally much stronger than 37MM guns with one shot and one shot). In this kind of battle, the shells of both sides can easily penetrate the other's armor, and then Players have more shots and are harder to hit. This result is naturally not difficult to predict.
As a result, the battlefield blasted the sound of dense small-caliber artillery shooting, and the artillery shells resembling migratory locusts shuttled through the armored forces of both sides. From time to time, armored vehicles or tanks were hung by this dense fire net and turned into A fireball, a Renault tank just rushed through the smoke, the short turret on the car body did not even point to the first enemy, a series of 40MM shells hit head-on, and the opponent didn’t seem to aim directly but used a cover shot. Then unfortunately, one of the shells penetrated the front of the car body. The sharp warhead and shrapnel formed after the armor was broken instantly killed the two Frenchmen in the car body and left a large bowl on the car body. Holes.
Orderly formation, fierce firepower, coupled with a large number of wolf tanks behind them, the French light tanks were quickly defeated, the rear howitzers and mortars began to intercept shooting, and the tanks also Start to release smoke bombs to block the Germans' vision. The suppressive firepower accompanied by the Germans also began to counterattack. After the first round of engagement between the two sides, the German armored forces took the upper hand. Groups of tanks and armored vehicles passed by the wreckage left by the French and continued to advance in depth. After continuing to advance for 2 kilometers, the sound of 75MM rapid-fire guns from a distance made Rommel's nerves tense again!
"It's a place!" Looking at the pulsing flames close to the ground in the distance, Rommel realized that this place would be the last place to fight the French. This was not because the opponent had concentrated several 75MM artillery here. , But because the position setting here is very beneficial to the French army. If the opponent is not here to block, then it must be more and more losses in other places!
The French relied on the terrain to deploy 75MM rapid-fire guns on both sides of the German armored attack channel. The guns were deployed in two small towns. They were in a complicated form. It would take some time for the Germans to get rid of it. At the same time, the front was open. , But there are still bushes and shrubs that can hide troops. If you want to take this place down, then the originally dense German armored forces must be scattered, and at the same time deal with the French defense lines on both sides But what about the front? The straight line distance between the two parties is the shortest, and the other party may hide the tank! In Rommel's view, the French used the terrain to forcibly disperse the main force of the German army to create fighters.
"Temporarily stop the attack and wait for the order!" Rommel issued the order, and soon, the information was collected on Earl Schmidt's desk in various ways. As an experienced battlefield commander, he also knows that the time to decide the outcome of this battle has arrived!
"Is the air force coming soon?" Count Schmidt asked.
"Arrive on time in half an hour. There is no problem with air supremacy. We have deployed at least 5 squadron fighters on the surrounding battlefields. We have just dismantled a wave of air offensives from the other side. The British will not be able to come again in a short time. The fighter jets can even participate in the ground suppression battle." said the Air Force personnel in charge of the contact.
"That's good, tell the air force brothers to proceed according to the plan. At the same time, let the first wave of troops on the front line attack! First hit the village on the left!" Earl Schmidt ordered.
