Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

With the support of tanks, the infantry regiment immediately moved towards the place where Richthofen crashed.

As a result, as soon as they arrived, they ran into the Hans Empire army who came to fight for Richthofen's body.

As a result, the two sides started a fierce battle around this farm.

The first to arrive on the battlefield were soldiers from the Gallic Empire. They occupied the southern part of the farm. When they were about to go to the middle of the farmland to check, soldiers from the Hans Empire arrived and occupied a stable in the northern part of the farm.

On the second floor of the stable, soldiers from the Hans Empire mounted machine guns and fired at the Gallic troops in the open area.

He immediately killed and wounded more than a dozen soldiers, suppressing the Gallic soldiers in the wilderness.

Then, the Gallic soldiers immediately launched a counterattack.

They fought back with large haystacks piled in the fields.

However, since there was no bunker when he went out, the Gallic soldiers still suffered heavy casualties.

However, this situation changed five minutes later.

The Mark I tank, which was supported by the John Empire and provided to the Gallic Empire, arrived on the battlefield.

The front of the tank is equipped with two 57mm rapid-fire cannons and four Hotchkiss heavy machine guns, providing this Mark I tank with powerful firepower.

At the same time, the front has 6 mm armor, which is enough to withstand most bullets.

Three Mark [-] vehicles emerged from the woods to the south and launched an artillery attack on the stables to the north.

Immediately, the stable opposite was blown down, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Hans Empire evacuated the stable one step ahead.

However, just when the Gallic Empire was preparing to organize another attack, the A7V tank of the Hans Empire arrived on the battlefield.

The A7V tank of the Hans Empire looks as huge as the tank of the John Empire.

Although it only has one 57mm cannon on the front, it has two more heavy machine guns than the tanks manufactured by the John Empire.

At the same time, its frontal armor protection reaches 30 mm.

If the tanks manufactured by the John Empire can withstand almost all bullets, then the tanks made by the Hans Empire can withstand direct fire from some small-caliber artillery.

In terms of armor protection, the Hans Empire completely defeated the John Empire.

These A7V tanks came out from the side and used the artillery equipped in front of the vehicles to shoot at the Gallic soldiers.

Since there was still a distance between the two, the three tanks on Hans Empire's side missed their first hit.

The soldiers of the Gallic Empire on the other end felt that someone was attacking from their side. They quickly wanted to turn around and prepare to meet the tanks of the Hans Empire head-on.

However, the tanks of this era were not as flexible as later tanks, and they were not able to have two tracks rolling one after the other to turn around on the spot.

In fact, due to the small power of the engine, it is impossible to turn around on the spot. It can only achieve a turn or U-turn by using a speed difference between one road belt and one crawler belt.

European countries still have a long way to go before they can make tanks turn around like Daxia.

Because the tanks equipped in Gaul could not turn around on the spot, they could only grit their teeth and drive forward, while mentally insulting the engineers of the John Empire for their incompetence and inability to design flexible tanks.

Just when the soldiers of the Gallic Empire were about to turn around, the tanks of the Hans Empire opened fire again.

This time, good luck did not accompany this group of poor tank soldiers.

One of the three tanks on the Gallic Empire side was destroyed immediately.

The remaining tank could only fire while retreating.

I don’t know whether it was because the soldiers were nervous or because the tank was bumping, but this shot from the Gallic Empire still missed the target and did not hit the Hans Empire tank.

And when the tank that was retreating felt desperate when it saw the tank that missed its target and killed people, and once again aimed at itself.

The whistling sound of shells was heard in the sky.

This whistling sound is different from the buzzing of small-caliber artillery, but a very sharp, very harsh buzzing.

The experienced veterans, hearing this sound, had already begun to look for bunkers.

Within seconds, the entire northern part of the farm was engulfed in flames.

This round of shelling was ordered by Oli to stop the soldiers of the Hans Empire.

Now seeing that the entire northern part of the farm was covered by his own artillery, he quickly asked the soldiers to take the opportunity to rush forward.

Similarly, the commander of the Hans Empire looked at the Gallic soldiers who rushed out, and he immediately knew what the other party was planning.

So, he also led the soldiers on his side and rushed out under the gunfire.

In fact, at this point in the war, there is no such thing as tactics.

The current war situation has evolved into a fueling tactic, and the competition is between the domestic industrial strength of both sides.

In fact, when mankind entered the era of hot weapons, strategies and strategies have been reduced in proportion.

Of course, this does not mean that strategy, layout, and tactics are useless, but it only means that in the face of absolute strength, some strategies can only delay the speed of failure, but cannot reverse the situation of the battle.

To give a very simple example, during the Gulf War, there was an absolute technological generation gap between Millikin and Saluoma.

At this time, even if Sa Luotuo's strategy is out of control, Sun Tzu's Art of War will give you all the thirty-six strategies, so that you can block a wave of missile salvos from Milician?

Of course, this is talking about the grand strategy. If it is detailed to a certain battle, then the strategy will be infinitely magnified.

To put it simply, it is a war. It is definitely not judged from a certain aspect, but the overall strength of a country.

This comprehensive strength includes the commander's personal qualities, the soldiers' fighting determination, and the country's industrial level.

Among them, national strength accounts for a large part. As the saying goes, wars between countries are fought based on national strength.

This is what the Allies and the Entente are like now.

Both sides have reached a desperate moment, and they no longer pay attention to any tactics, but directly compete with each other's industrial strength.

Whoever produces more guns and ammunition will produce more artillery. Whoever can gain the advantage on the battlefield.

This approach has greatly narrowed the gap between soldiers and commanders, and is purely a competition for national strength.

The simplest and most direct.

However, doing so is actually consuming the country’s potential.

This is why in the original time and space, even the Allied Powers, the victors of World War I, were in a state of decline after the war.

It was because during World War I, the two sides competed so fiercely, with similar national strength and almost the same level of weapons, which resulted in the only way to fill the gap was human lives.

In this time and space, it is also like this.

In order to snatch Richthofen's body, both sides started with only one regiment participating in the battle. By the evening of the next day, each side invested nearly five divisions and more than 5 people fought fiercely around the farm.

In the end, Oli personally supervised the battle and sent a small team to take advantage of the chaos to find the crash site and bring Richthofen's body back to his own camp.

In order to snatch Richthofen's body, both sides lost more than [-] people.
