The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1591

But that’s okay, today’s feast is not on the table yet! But the aperitif is worse, Daville still has some confidence in his armored forces, after all, there are so many!

The tank roared through the dilapidated French army position, and the accompanying infantry jumped onto the half-track and truck to move on! Going forward, the French did not seem to have established a complete line of defense. From the previous investigation, the French formed a number of support points with the remaining war defense artillery and strengthened the defense in key areas. But there are some gaps between them.

"The old stuff, we played the rest." Count Schmidt sneered after seeing the French deployment. This kind of centralized firepower support point deployment caused a lot of trouble on the exercise field in 1910, but now, the Bavarian armored forces have summarized a set of countermeasures. This time it is just a repetition of the exercise field. Just one click!

The purpose of changing the battle defense artillery from linear deployment to centralized deployment is to strengthen firepower and prevent artillery in other places from becoming a display after one point is breached. When multiple guns form a support point, when the opponent's tank attacks from the front, the firepower density is much higher than the average deployment, and if the opponent passes between the two support points, it will face the rapid-fire gun. Side firepower! And the effective distance of hitting the side is much farther than hitting the front!

The Bavarian offensive forces began to change their formations. The three wedge-shaped formations that were originally arranged in parallel began to shrink. The German armored forces began to shrink the attack front and increase the depth of the attacking formation. The original formation of 20 tanks was broken. The narrow front is that 12 tanks form an attack wave, and three such attack waves form the main force of this attack!

At the same time, behind the offensive troops, the accompanying self-propelled artillery and mortars lined up at a certain supporting point in the distance! The offensive formation of the Bavarian Legion changed from knife to hammer! The strengthened frontally launched an attack on a defensive point of the French!

Dense cannonballs fall on the support point in the middle like raindrops. Dozens of howitzers and mortars can smash tons of cannonballs on top of the French every minute. Explosions and flying shrapnel quickly consume the French. Defensive force, and under the cover of smoke, the Germans launched a decisive charge! This time, the Germans made no false moves. It is a simple impact and collision.

The mines deployed on the periphery have long been punched out by the concentrated artillery. The wolf tank is like an ancient giant beast in the wilderness. They will quickly cross the French defense line, and then in the opponent's horrified eyes, Quickly sweep the French gun positions at close range!

The Germans limited the engagement distance to 400 meters. This is the limit distance for the frontal and side front armor of the Wolf tank to effectively resist 75MM artillery. The dense explosions brought the confrontation on the battlefield to a climax from the beginning. The roaring shelling caused damage to the German tanks. A wolf tank was concentrated by 7 shells. One shell jammed the turret, the other destroyed the barrel, and the deadliest third shell came from The side back penetrated the side armor, and a deadly fire lifted from the engine position. After a few seconds, the tank stopped struggling.

However, just before the French were too late to cheer their victory, the wolf tank, which was replaced from behind, quickly aimed at the killer just now. In less than half a minute, three rounds of grenades shot the French guns. It was destroyed, and the detonated ammunition spread to another gun location next to it. Nine gunners were half dead!

The Germans’ fierce offense made the French very uncomfortable. If the Bavarian armored forces’ offensive was like a swordsman who had won with exquisite swordsmanship, then the current Bavarian armored forces would be like a crazy Nordic berserker. The warhammer and the giant axe, regardless of casualties, annihilated each other under the storm-like blow!

However, facing a wave of 12 wolf tanks and tons of fire support from the rear with two companies and eight 75MM guns, the French also expressed their helplessness! After destroying a wolf tank and knocking out two load wheels of the other tank at the same time, the resistance at this support point came to an end. The tracks of the wolf tank crushed the remaining French soldiers and artillery, rolling armor. The torrent rushed in along the torn opening.

"Should we launch a counterattack? The Germans have opened the gap!" a French officer asked.

"No, not yet, wait." Major General Daville rejected the officer's proposal. After all, the Germans have just come here. Once the French counterattacks, the Germans will not be able to withdraw temporarily. The French have to wait for a chance. When the Germans flooded into a certain number of troops along this small gap, this force cannot be larger than the French army, but at the same time, when it cannot easily retreat, it is the time for the French armored forces to launch a counterattack! To paraphrase the Eastern phrase is to strike it halfway!

However, what the French did not expect was that after successfully breaking through the position, the German army did not choose to continue deepening. After the breakthrough, the frontal armored force began to turn to the defensive position, while the following two tanks spread out to the left and right wings and attacked. Adjacent support points on both sides! As a result, the supporting ignition power originally used to attack the flanks became the attack front again!

Obviously ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the Germans are not in a hurry to intersperse in depth, they want to expand the attack hole before attacking!

"If you don't fight, it will be too late!" After realizing the actions of the Germans, Major General Deville couldn't wait any longer. He had a multi-division force, and it was impossible to deploy a new line of defense with a certain degree of defense. Now, the German army is like peeling an apple peeling off the French defensive force. After the Germans emptied the second line of defense, only pure-blooded armored units were left on both sides! At that time, even though the French had a military advantage, they dare not say that they would win!

"The Germans disperse their forces for side attacks, and their frontal forces will definitely not be much." Daville took a deep breath and gave the most important order in this war! "Armored troops, attack!" When the French tanks were ready, the howitzer regiments that had been on standby also began to suppress firepower! With hundreds of various tanks rushing out of the concealment and the flames rising from the horizon in the distance, the French's most powerful counterattack kicked off!
