Chapter 2076： Counterattack one

(Page 1/1)

The flares, like raindrops, slowly fall from the air, illuminating the battlefield like daylight. Under the bright light, you can clearly see a group of British troops posing a very wide front line under the guidance of tanks and armored vehicles. The Germans attacked. The roar of artillery and the roar of machine guns overwhelmed other sounds on the battlefield. Countless tracers jumped in the air. The British didn't have time to slowly clean up their opponents with artillery, and the Germans' long-range artillery was not as good as the British, so they tended to close combat. Therefore, the two sides quickly collided together, and the battle entered a brutal close combat at the beginning!

"At 2 o'clock, 500 meters, a British tank, with armor-piercing shells!" Through the commander’s observation mirror, Guderian locked a British tank exposed to the flares, and the commander quickly pointed the barrel at it. When the cross in the scope pressed down on the target, the artillery was decisively activated. With the tail of the gun leaping backwards, a 75MM armor-piercing projectile roared out and hit the tank in the distance. Side of the car body!

"Release the smoke, put up the reverse gear, and evacuate!" It is too late to see if it hits the target. This gun has exposed Guderian's position. Soon, the dense flares will come over, and the night will not be able to provide protection, so this At that time, only smoke bombs are more reliable!

Following the route left in advance, Guderian commanded the tank to retreat quickly and then turned to a bush next to it. The British had a keen sense of smell, and the machine gun's tracer and mortar fired flares instantly enveloped the black-handed tank behind it, but unfortunately, they could only see the vague figure hidden in the black smoke.

The British tankers who had already hit the head rushed up angrily. They tried to pass through the smoke and then killed the attacker at close range. The British infantry, who had been accustomed to following the tank, immediately followed the tank to catch up, so inadvertently, they exposed their flanks and back to the other Germans hidden in the night!

The other 3 tanks and at least 20 machine guns hidden in nearby villages and towns suddenly opened fire less than 300 meters away from the British army. Several British tanks were destroyed by the wolf tank’s 75MM armor-piercing shells immediately. The high rate of fire, the bullet rain intertwined by dozens of MG machine guns instantly covered the entire marching queue of the British army. Unprepared, the covered side-fire on the uncovered terrain instantly wiped out most of them. The British infantrymen, accompanied by the sour sound like a chainsaw, the figures that were originally moving in the night were harvested like wheat. After confirming that the British tanks were completely destroyed, the German tanks rushed out of the hiding place and launched a counterattack with the infantry. At this time, Guderian, who was in charge of the task of luring the enemy, was preparing to reconnect the broken track with the help of engineers.

The fighting between the two sides quickly fell into chaos. The British quickly discovered that even in the best circumstances, they chose the most appropriate method of tactics that the British army believed to be the most suitable. They were still not opponents to the Germans opposite! The first wave of the British infantry attack did not cut the Germans’ seemingly loose line of defense into pieces. On the contrary, the Germans launched counterattacks in some places. Under the cover of two companies or even one company’s tanks, the German elite infantry Dare to launch a counter assault against the British army several times larger than yourself!

The Germans seemed to have thought of the British tactics and responded accordingly. They would first destroy the British tanks by seducing and ambushing. Then, the tanks would avoid the front of the British army and find a flanking general. The British army’s frontline was cut off. After defeating the British defense with tanks and armored vehicles, infantrymen would also join the battlefield to expand their results. This kind of attack is usually very rapid. The Germans retract their troops like an offensive, and leave as soon as they succeed, so that the British troops who arrive later will find no one to revenge.

"How are we now?" Marshal Haig, who was in the command headquarters at this time, drove a group of staff members busy and asked after marking the location of each unit on the map.

"From the current point of view, the progress of our troops is not bad, but the overall situation is not optimistic. The Germans seem to give up some positions at night, creating a wide intermediate zone between us, and we attacked very quickly. , But did not find many destroyed artillery." Admiral Wilson said.

"Then let our offensive forces move faster! We must bite the main German forces tonight, and then hit them hard." Marshal Haig gritted his teeth.

"Then what should we do during the day? The Germans took a step back and consumed our strength. In the daytime, they launched a counterattack. At this time, we had already broken away from the support of most long-range artillery and had to face the German air force. "Admiral Wilson said.

"During the day, we will switch to defense. As long as we can reach this dotted line, we can use the previous bunkers and terrain. There will be losses, but as long as we can last until night, we can launch the second round of attack! In addition, order The Fifth Army shrinks its defenses and retreats to the north." Marshal Haig thought for a while and added. In fact, the last sentence reflected that Marshal Haig himself had some lack of confidence so he launched an attack from the front. At the same time, Marshal Haig is also carrying out withdrawal work.

At this time, the British army was still struggling to fight, relying on their huge military advantage, they moved forward gradually. Although the short assault of the Germans said that the British army was scarred, it did not stop the British army’s advancement. To the positions lost 2 days ago-those villages, stations and warehouses that were taken by the Germans caught off guard!

Here, the Germans are not retreating anymore. They nailed these key areas like nails and blocked the British advance! In a complex environment, the Germans used **** facts to tell the British that the high-quality infantry that the British have been proud of since the time of the Sun King has become history, even if there is no artillery bonus, even if there is no cutting edge. Tanks, the German infantry is still better than the British!

The German army equipped with a large number of general-purpose machine guns and submachine guns has an obvious advantage in various levels of firepower confrontation. Sometimes a suitably positioned MG machine gun team can easily suppress a company of British attacks, even if less than one barrel is replaced. Within minutes, the Germans would still use the crossfire of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns to drive the British back. The engineers from below to the various companies also played a considerable role. They are good at earthwork and blasting, and rely on some simple equipment to create a terrible death trap in a few minutes.
