"Four hours, sir, it only took us four hours to capture a city, which is ...... speed"

Marianne Witch was excited, and jumped up like a little girl in front of Tang Yunyang. In her mind, during the long years of positional warfare on the Western Front, it was quite difficult to conquer a city. But now, it is a miracle that the city, which was defended by an entire infantry division, was completely surrendered in four hours.

It is no wonder that she was surprised that the German field fortifications were simply not capable of withstanding the rapid and sustained attack of tank clusters under the cover of powerful air power. And when the field fortifications were cleared, they originally planned to rely on the city's buildings for street fighting, but they did not expect that they would encounter the battlefield "killing god".

Tang Yunyang obviously didn't notice the excited red face of the Marian Witch, because he had thought of a sharp weapon for his future army to deal with the enemy infantry, and this sharp weapon would make the infantry of any country have to think carefully about what they would use to resist such an attack in the years of war in the future.

"Hey, sir, where are we going next?"

Marianne guessed that although it was already afternoon, the commander would not stop attacking.

"We need to prepare for camping, and the tank units that have been advancing rapidly since last night need to rest and replenish. The order was given to the whole army, except for the engineer battalion, to immediately build a field airfield, and to contact our airship convoy to bring supplies and transport away our booty and wounded. After all the preparations are done at 12 o'clock tonight, we will move on. Now I am worried about only one thing, will our paratrooper regiment hold out for so long! ”

Although the small city of Laon has been captured, the tank units that have been in the vanguard have reached the end of their strength and must make necessary replenishments and rests.

That is, from now on, the paratrooper regiment will have to hold out for almost a day of fighting, will they be able to hold out? In addition, how did the special forces led by Cheng Tianyun destroy the roads of the German army's supply base in St. Quentine, and whether they were able to stop the transfer of supplies?

At this time, on the small high ground that had cut off Guderian's rapid assault cluster, the paratroopers were indeed met with a fierce attack that had never been seen before. Of course, it wasn't Guderian's armored assault brigade, they were still running the road from Compiègne to here.

Now the attack they encountered came from the German 17th Infantry Corps, which was under strict orders from the top. Their artillery, after the withdrawal of the air cover of the paratrooper regiments, and the arrival of gunners drawn from other units, gradually came to life.

Rows of large-caliber artillery shells flew into small heights, blowing up clouds of dust on the small heights. The infantry, which had been severely battered by the air power, had now regrouped, and then they began a battalion-based charge under the cover of artillery fire.

The commander of the ruthless German infantry division had only one thought in his mind.

"Even if I can't kill you, I'll kill you if I'm tired!"

As he said, the German infantry in companies, battalions, and regiments climbed up the small ground under the cover of artillery fire. Although they knew what kind of enemy they were going to face, there was no more fear in the hearts of the German soldiers.

After all, the enemy planes that are stuck in the sky and make people frown at the sight of them are not visible at this time.

At the same time, the entire enemy line on the heights was trembling under artillery fire, and even many German infantry were smiling as they climbed to the top of the hill, as if they were not attacking a position with stubborn enemy troops, but visiting some picturesque place.

Some people even hummed a German folk tune, after all, under such a fierce ground-air joint attack, how many people can still live on the high ground, this is really a very cruel question.

The artillery fire was mostly 105-mm howitzers of the German divisional artillery. As well as some large-caliber mortars mounted at the foot of the mountain. Undoubtedly, this kind of continuous and intensive artillery bombardment is chilling.

Guo Chaodong and Guo Kaiming were crammed into a foxhole, and the narrow paratrooper pit caused their steel helmets to bump into each other from time to time. However, in the midst of the intense bombardment, their ears could no longer hear the sound.

Their foxholes are not very deep, and about two people can crouch at the bottom of the pit so that the top of their heads does not show the ground. The advantage of this is that the foxhole will not collapse because the shells fall on the side of the pit. As long as the shells don't fall into the pit, they won't be in danger of dying.

Although such a paratrooper pit could not resist bombardment from the sky, there was not a single German aircraft in the sky at the moment, what was the reason for this? Why didn't they take advantage of this critical moment to help their infantry?

Again, with this question in mind, the German infantry landed on the positions of paratroopers, who had little resistance. At this time, the German artillery bombardment had just stopped, and the entire high ground was full of craters, as if the paratroopers had been killed by their artillery fire.

A large group of German infantry wearing iron-blue uniforms cautiously held the rifles and submachine guns in their hands, and walked into the interior of the position with the floating dust under their feet that was burned by continuous artillery fire and exuded a strong smell of gunpowder. One foot deep and one foot shallow, all of them are shrapnel that can hurt people's feet.

On the other hand, the top of this position, which had made them suffer enough, was like the moon in an astronomical telescope, full of craters of all sizes. Not a single shot was fired at their arrival, nor was there a single sound.

"Could it be that the whole hill has been killed by our artillery?"

The faces of the German soldiers who climbed the mountain and were covered with sweat were all blank eyes. Even those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time have this illusion.

"Pass down, save ammunition, don't shoot without an order!"

Unbeknownst to them, such an order was being passed from one foxhole to another a few dozen meters away from them, in the ears of paratroopers who had already prepared their weapons.

As more of their troops climbed the hill, the German soldiers became emboldened, and they began to advance deeper into the heights.

In fact, they didn't know that such an attack would not hit the soldiers on the high ground as severely as they imagined. Since Guo Chaodong and Tang Yunyang spoke and knew the situation he was in, he changed his tactics in time.

Instead of fighting hard against the German soldiers, it was time to preserve strength. As a result, individual bunker groups with squads as combat units were built on the positions. The bunkers were all built rather slim enough to allow only one soldier to crouch in, forming a ring to protect the machine gunners in the center.

In addition, he intended to abandon the sniper ridge at the edge of the heights at the right time, as it was now, because only when mixed with the German infantry could he avoid the incessant onslaught of German artillery fire, as before.

While the German soldiers were bent forward, Guo Chaodong picked up the M-1 Eagle short assault rifle in his hand. The tight scope covered by a dust cover did not get a trace of dust inside, and the bright spot of light in the scope still appeared extremely clear.

"Smack!"

With the crisp sound of the assault rifle in Guo Chaodong's hand, the entire position seemed to be resurrected in an instant. In the individual bunkers, the outstretched assault rifles made a crisp "pop, pop" combo sound. The light machine guns, which were the fire support of the squad, also made a "quack" burst fire.

Compared to the British and French soldiers, the German infantry was much better trained. Especially veterans who have the skills to survive the frantic positional warfare of World War I. At first, the dead silence of the battlefield made them suspicious, and when they searched forward, they all shrunk their stomachs and bent over.

When Guo Chaodong's gunshots rang out, they shouted loudly and fell to the ground covered with floating earth.

"Lying down...... Lie down! ”

With their shouts, the soldiers who reacted fell with them into the empty earth blown up by the shells. However, by this time, quite a few recruits had already fallen in panic from the dense rain of bullets.

Although the sudden blow caused heavy losses to the German soldiers who rushed to the high ground, it did not deprive them of the courage to fight. As more and more troops ascended the heights, the German infantry had pulled out their sapper shovels and began digging through the dirt beneath them, piling them up in front of them to keep out the bullets that kept them at bay.

Subsequently, foxholes were dug and finally connected together to form a trench. At this time, if the paratroopers are attacking, it will not be easy to drive them down the mountain.

"What's the matter, Xiao Guo, are you afraid of being so close to these guys?"

When Guo Chaodong heard Guo Kaiming's report to him, his face was completely disapproving. Isn't this situation the state he needed now, only then will he be able to keep his paratrooper regiment from the continuous bombardment of German heavy artillery.

As for the German infantry, who were only ten meters away from them, he really didn't see it. After all, it would certainly be a thankless task to confront paratrooper regiments, mostly armed with semi-automatic and automatic weapons, at such a distance.

"Well, so be it, if you're still worried, tell them to keep an eye on the snipers, and if they find a nest of mortars and machine guns, they don't have to report it, but they can snipe on the spot. I don't believe that the Germans could break my ground without these two things! ”

As the sun was about to set, the paratrooper regiments and the battle lines of the German infantry confronting them were in a state of dog-tooth staggering.
