Chapter 2077： Counterattack 2

The performance of the Germans in street fighting is also very good. They seldom follow the original road. The Germans prefer to open the way by blasting the walls of buildings, and a small number of German troops will be deployed on both sides of the main force and on the top of the house. This allows them to have a better vision, and their ability to detect and counter ambushes has been greatly improved.

"Germans are like ghosts in the night. They are very good at hiding themselves, and they will suddenly appear in places you can't expect, and then shoot out hundreds of bullets. When you reflect and prepare to fight back, they are like ghosts. Usually retracted, and when you are ready to put away the machine gun and attack again, they will suddenly appear. The Germans gather and disperse when they act, and sometimes use several groups to delay our pace, and some At that time, there will suddenly be several times the number of German troops, and then there is no need to ask the result. In a very short time, the British army that was bitten will be quickly annihilated. We have never seen an opponent so proficient in street fighting!" A British commander who participated in this battle described his enemy like this.

But for the British army at the grassroots level, they are more envy, jealous, and hatred of the Germans' sophisticated weapons! "Lewis machine guns can indeed continue to shoot continuously by relying on the exhaust tube, but the weight itself is a bit heavy, and the weight of the upper part of the machine gun is too large to use. Of course, the most important thing is the fire continuity and the German MG machine guns Fabi, the Germans call their new MG11 machine gun a general-purpose machine gun. This is really a good name. Just change to a tripod with a 250-round canvas bullet belt and you can use it as a heavy machine gun, while using a bipod and 75 rounds. Drums can be used as light machine guns. The German machine gun team deploys very fast and has fierce firepower. These machine guns are also lighter. In short, they are much stronger than our Lewis machine guns and Wicks machine guns."

"In addition to machine guns, are the submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles heavily equipped by the Germans also terrifying? The Germans have two-legged platoon firepower. In addition to machine guns, semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns can also be used independently. After the light mortar kills our machine gun, we have already lost the offensive ability. Although the Lien rifle in our hand is stronger than the Mauser, it will still be hit by a semi-automatic rifle and cannot be found." After the war, the British company commander, who had been in the war for one year on the Western Front, commented on the light weapons of both sides.

Under the stubborn resistance of the Germans, a large number of British infantry were caught in fierce and **** street fighting. The British reoccupied these areas before dawn to avoid the bombing of the Luftwaffe. And there are also food and military supplies that the Germans can’t handle. These things are also quite attractive to the British. Sometimes the British don’t know whether the Germans have time to deal with these supplies, or Keep these things to deliberately lure the British army?

But no matter what, more and more British troops began to gather at several key points of the fierce battle. They surrounded these places, attacked with all the artillery that could be brought up, and then used infantry to charge again and again. Every street, Fierce fighting broke out in every house and even every ruin. The numerous corpses that fell on the battlefield and the blood donations that have gathered into a stream turned it into a hell. Flames and smoke filled the battlefield. The infantry on both sides In the fight again and again, there were many casualties.

In the fierce battle, the British subconsciously ignored a problem, that is, when the battle at the key point is so intense, the infantry on both sides is rapidly consumed, and where is the German armored unit? Those tanks that smashed the British in the first few hours seemed to have not appeared in the battle? So now the question is, where are these tanks?

Even if the German armored forces are divided, in fact, the number of armored forces that the Germans can call is more than that of the British! As General Haig expected, the Germans gave up some of their positions during the day at night, just to prevent the two sides from getting too close and being beaten up by the British with artillery superiority. And now, when the elite German infantry units have attracted the attention of the British, the main force of the German armored units has gained time for assembly and preparation. With the troops withdrawn from the front and reconnaissance, they have a general idea of ​​the current situation of the British army. I understand that Marshal Haig miscalculated one thing, that is, the German counterattack may not be in the daytime! It can also unfold at night!

"The British thoughts were similar to what we expected. They wanted to use the old fortifications to survive the day, so they began to concentrate their forces on attacking these places. As a result, the flank defenses are much worse, and our task now is to use the two wings. Outflank all the British forces that launched this attack before dawn, and then cooperate with the main force to eat the opponent during the day. The task is simple, kill all the British you see, and then form a blockade at dawn That’s it!” Lieutenant General Hall briefly assigned a task on the map, and then, without the British’s knowledge, guided by more than 400 tanks and armored vehicles, At least 6 German divisions rushed to the British from both sides in the dark! When the British were about to use the night to fight against the Germans, the Germans also thought so...

Under the deliberate retreat of the Germans, the British moved forward at a very good speed. They had penetrated into the German positions for 8 to 14 kilometers in one night. When the front line was stretched, some artillery and logistics supply units with a shorter range had to move forward. Move forward. Marching in the dark is naturally a very troublesome thing, so after the British confirmed the safety of the rear, they began to set up military stations and positions, and the light sources in these places well guided the German offensive!

"The British really cooperate." Looking at the lighted wilderness in the distance, Lieutenant General Hall couldn't help but exclaim. Then with a wave, the Germans' first counterattack started!

When wolf tanks and armored vehicles roared towards the British position, a group of British people did not expect that they would be immediately counterattacked by the Germans on the newly occupied position. They arrived too soon! It’s also a coincidence that a large number of artillery has just moved to the position, and before it is deployed, it is directly destroyed by the artillery or crawler of the tank. These huge steel beasts easily knocked over tons of artillery, and machine guns and grenades quickly harvested the British. However, under the impact of the cluster of tanks, the infantry without anti-armor capability and the artillery without infantry cover will naturally not last long.
