The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1592

Hundreds of tanks rushed directly over. Even the wolf tanks in this formation are under great pressure, but fortunately, the French shelter is about 3 kilometers away from the second line of defense, and it traveled over 2,000 at the speed of the tank at the time. It takes at least ten minutes for the meters to enter the range. And considering the time to adjust the formation and the time provided for supporting artillery, this time will be longer.

As the mortars began to release smoke grenades, the wolf tanks that attacked on both wings retreated. At the same time, the 105MM howitzer behind the unit and the self-propelled artillery equipped with 107MM cannon began to suppress the French artillery positions in the distance.

"The attack distance is a little far away, and we have lost the suddenness of the attack." A French officer looked at the German armored forces calmly adjusting their formation and said with some concern.

"This is the best time we can get. If they wait for them to clear the second line of defense, then they will fight us without restraint." Daville watched as he rolled away. The French armored forces also said with some regret. At present, the support lines on both sides of the second line of defense are at least in the hands of the French, becoming the two front midfielders supporting the French attack. The attack front of the French is greater than that of the German armored forces.

Before the tanks of the two sides collided, the French artillery had already shown a decline in the battle between the long-range artillery. The French artillery, mostly towing artillery, was more and more struggling to face the German artillery, which was mainly self-propelled. The semi-enclosed combat compartment of the gunners can provide limited cover, and the maneuvering transfer at any time improves the survival rate of the artillery. After all, there is no precision strike in this era. If you want to destroy an artillery position, you can only rely on a large amount of ammunition to cover it. However, the French artillery is almost dead, but the German artillery is alive!

"The German artillery seemed unkillable. We clearly locked the opponent’s firing position, and then used fierce shelling to completely suppress it. They quickly stopped fighting back, but after ten minutes, they would be in a new place. Fire, and what about us? When the German shells came over, we could only hide behind the parapet, relying on the constructed defense line to survive, and watched the grenade and high-explosive shells exploding in the air pushing the shrapnel and flame across the whole In the position, one by one brothers fell into the artillery fire, and occasionally artillery was hit directly. Piles of flames raged on the position. Our artillery was suppressed by the opponent in just half an hour." The scene of the French artillery captain's meeting.

However, the two sides did not pay attention to the direct combat of the long-range artillery at this time, because at this time, the French armored forces had bitten the Germans, and at this time the German armored forces had also completed the adjustment of the formation. The area is too wide to launch the first large-scale tank battle on the battlefield of Asia Minor! The Bavarian side has 57 tanks against the French 132, of course, there are also a large number of trucks, guns, or other combat vehicles on both sides!

"Fire!" At a distance of 1200 meters, a wolf tank facing the enemy first launched an attack. As usual, it was a round of correction. The tracer of the heading machine gun next to the artillery and the first round of artillery shot alternately to the distant target . The first round salvo of more than 20 wolf tanks was not high, and Germany could only confirm that it had destroyed 4 to 5 targets. And this round of attacks seems to have sounded the horn of this steel collision! The French, who realized that they had entered the effective combat distance of their opponent, began to charge desperately. They increased the power of the engine to the maximum, and the engine that had been squeezed to the limit made a sour trembling sound.

"Start free shooting! Limited attack on high-threat targets!" When the target approached about 800 meters, the Bavarian armored elites began to enter the best shooting distance, and everyone shot a round of armor-piercing projectiles to the target at the fastest speed. . And it was the stage from 800 meters to 400 meters that was the fastest time for French tank battles to attrition!

"May God bless me!" French Armored Major Jean Vera kissed the cross on his neck, and the violent explosion sounded from the side. He knew that he had entered the core of the fire storm, maybe in the next second. , One round of armor-piercing bullet can tear the fragile armor of the FT10 tank and then shatter him and his companions! Vera could clearly see the muzzle of the German tank beating with flames in the distance, flying on the battlefield like a sickle of death. He wanted to use his rapid-fire cannon to teach these guys a good lesson, but he was told rationally that at such a long distance, he could not destroy those iron cans!

"God!" A Renault tank at the front left of Major Vera was directly blown into pieces by an armor-piercing projectile, and when he was controlling the tank just to avoid the pile of wreckage, another shell blasted an FT10 on his side. It became a ball of fire. Subsequently, the hail-like shells fell into the offensive formation. In less than 1 minute, Major Vera saw at least 8 violent explosions around him! The advance of the French armored forces is completely walking on the road paved by flames and blood. The originally neat attack formation was dented in less than 3 minutes of intensive shooting, like a long sword directly Interrupted the tip of the sword!

"The smoke is too big to see!" During this time, the German tankers made at least 3 hits, of which at least 30 French tanks were completely destroyed. The thick smoke produced by the French tanks exploded and formed a smoke screen. It was blocked between the two sides, and the artillery was overheated due to the high rate of fire ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The barrel was also a bit overheated, the battle room was full of gunpowder smoke, and the floor was full of polished shells.

"Ready to retreat! Someone will provide cover for us!" The wolf tank in a static shooting state began to fully launch, and the Germans directly engaged in reverse gear and began to evacuate. And at this time, the French counterattack finally came! After paying a huge price, the French tank was already close to a distance of about 400 meters! And the powerful San Mengsha self-propelled artillery has also entered effective range!

Two FT10 tanks rushing out of the thick smoke appeared on the side of a wolf tank. Before the Germans could react, six 75MM shells roared and hit the side of the tank, and the suspension device on the combat side was directly hit. Bad, another shell penetrated from the side of the turret, and orange flames ejected from the breach.

The other German tanks that reacted quickly exploded the two assassins to pieces, and when they continued to evacuate, the San Mengsha self-propelled artillery that had arrived on the front line aimed at the tank company on the flank. At a distance of 600 meters, The 105MM armor-piercing projectile slammed into the front of the wolf tank with greetings from the **** of death!
