Three days of fire preparation flew by, and more than eight thousand guns of the Germanic Army fired millions of shells.
The intense artillery fire almost repeated the positions of the Gauls and the sunless men several times.
Coupled with the bombing of the Germanic Air Force, the defensive line built by the Gauls and the Suns in the north of the Gaulish State had been severely damaged.
Although, their casualties were not too serious. However, after the defensive line was destroyed, it was even more difficult for them to resist the attack of the Germanic Army.
On October 12, 1714, the Germanic Army, assembled on the Western Front, with an army of 1.6 million men, attacked from the southern part of the Kingdom of Belgium to the northern part of gaul.
The 1st Army took the lead, crossing the border directly and advancing rapidly south.
In its 1st Panzer Division, after the loss of tanks and armored vehicles was replenished, three hundred ‘Wolf’ light tanks and two hundred and forty ‘Hound’ armored vehicles formed a torrent of steel and swept towards the positions of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
The Germanic Imperial Army’s 2nd and 3rd Armies also attacked south from Mons and Namur, respectively.
The 2nd Panzer Division and the 3rd Panzer Division were also the main offensive forces this time.
The other 4th, 5th, 6th, 14th and 15th Armies advanced south from other directions.
The powerful assault power of the armored units on the plains was vividly displayed.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Mortars were firing fiercely, and the curved trajectory was able to drop the shells directly into the positions of the Gauls and the sun. Even, they can accurately strike their bunkers or permanent fire points.
Although the germanic army shelling was very fierce, it was still unable to completely destroy the sun and Gauls’ fortifications. There are still many fortifications that have survived. These fortifications would become an obstacle for the soldiers of the Germanic Empire to attack. Using mortars to destroy these fish that have slipped through the net is undoubtedly the best.
“Quack! Crunch! ”
The tank’s tracks crushed the ground, making a sound that made people’s teeth ache.
“Get ready for battle! The Germans came up and took up arms and entered the position! ”
“With our country behind us, we must not allow the Germans to set foot on our soil!”
The officers of the Gallic Army roared loudly, urging the soldiers to enter the positions.
Countless Gallic soldiers emerged from the artillery holes, armed with rifles, and followed the communication trenches into the positions.
However, as soon as many people poked their heads out, they were frightened by the oncoming tanks.
“O God! What’s that thing? ”
“Is that the devil’s chariot?”
Many Gauls who went to war for the first time were frightened.
“Anti-tank gun ready! The Germanic tanks are coming, kill them! Otherwise, our position will not be able to hold! ”
An officer of the Gallic Army shouted loudly.
Two soldiers ran over with a thick rifle.
They mounted their rifles on the trenches and aimed them at a ‘wolf’ light tank.
“Bang!”
The anti-tank rifle opened fire, and the huge recoil made the soldiers who operated it turn white.
Bullets with a caliber of 20 mm roared at the ‘Wolf’ light tank.
“Dang!”
A crisp sound sounded, and the bullets fired from the anti-tank rifle accurately hit the frontal armor of the Wolf light tank.
Unfortunately, it only left a dent on the frontal armor up to 45 mm thick and did not penetrate the armor.
“Damn! No punching! ”
“Attack the side! The frontal armor of the Germanic tanks was thick, and the side armor was much weaker! ”
By the time the anti-tank men rushed towards them to fire, the tanks were already aiming at them.
“Boom!”
With a loud blast, a 57 mm high-explosive shell flew out of the chamber and bombarded it fiercely.
“Boom!”
The shell exploded, and two anti-tank men along with their anti-tank rifles were blown to pieces.
The anti-tank rifle was nothing more than an emergency weapon created by the Gauls in a hurry. In fact, it was difficult to achieve results when facing the armored units of the Germanic Imperial Army.
Unless it hits the side armor of the Wolf light tank, it is impossible to penetrate at all.
Of course, if it is an attack on a ‘Hound’ armored vehicle, it is another matter.
Even the two-pounder anti-tank gun and the three-pounder anti-tank gun that never set on the sun needed to penetrate the frontal armor of the Wolf light tank at a relatively close distance.
After all, the Wolf light tank designed under August’s auspices had a frontal armor thickness of 45 mm. Moreover, it is still a sloping armor with a 60-degree tilt angle, which further enhances the defense.
But even then, tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in battle.
However, the anti-tank weapons of the Sun Never Set and the Gauls played a certain role. However, the number of equipment is still too small. In particular, when the Germanic Army attacked, it often threw in the tanks of a regiment or even a division in a certain period of attack.
A torrent of steel composed of hundreds or more tanks instantly overwhelmed the anti-tank weapons of the Sun and the Gauls.
“Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Rumble! Rumble! ”
After tanks and armored vehicles broke through the defensive lines of the Gauls and the sun never set, the moment of slaughter immediately came.
Tank guns and machine guns opened fire fiercely, killing the Gauls and the sun-set people on the positions.
“Go and die, damn germans!”
A brave Gallic soldier, armed with an explosives package, rushed towards a ‘wolf’ light tank, trying to blow it up.
Unfortunately, it was strafed by heavy machine guns located on the top of the tank.
“Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The commander directly operated the heavy machine gun and fired violently, instantly reaching the Gallic soldier into a sieve.
In order to increase firepower, germanic tanks also deployed a heavy machine gun on the top, which was directly probing the body by the commander.
Although it was a little dangerous, it greatly enhanced the tank’s close defense capabilities. It would be more difficult for the enemy to blow up the tanks of the Germanic Army.
As the armored units of the Germanic Imperial Army broke through the enemy’s defenses, a large number of infantry fighting with tanks also poured into the enemy’s defenses and began to cooperate with tanks and armored vehicles to eliminate the remnants of the enemy in the position. The Germanic and Gaulish defenses had been torn apart by the Germanic Imperial Army.
