Chapter 46: Dawn Blood (Revision)
"the thief, this big Berta cannon is not ordinary!"
Heavy barrels, heavy sitting on wide steel wheels made of steel plate rolls. The weight caused the gear-like teeth on the drum to sink into the ground, but they were still moving quite slowly.
"This is the German Great Berta siege gun, which can fire a 1-ton shell 14.5 kilometers away!"
Marianne, who was by Tang Yunyang's side, seemed to be like a treasure, introducing the heavy artillery that made Tang Yunyang see the excitement in his eyes.
"the thief, you can get a heavy artillery regiment out! Well, it's worth it! We want the captives to load all the ammunition on my car, and put all these cannons on our captured horses, and we are ready to withdraw! ”
"What about the captives? Do they also go with us? ”
Patton could see that the commander who had robbed the German heavy artillery was in a very good mood today. I guessed in my heart that he didn't care whether the war was won or not, and seemed to care about whether he could snatch other people's things into his own pocket.
"Prisoners, after loading the car in a while, let them all go, it's useless to keep them."
"All of them?"
"That's, I still have to take care of the food if I keep them, forget it!"
As Tang Yunyang gave an order, the prisoners immediately began to load these special 1-ton heavy shells onto the 3.5-ton truck that came with Tang Yunyang. This is where the repair tanks that have been accompanying the cavalry battalion come in handy, and their cranes make the loading operation much faster.
Tang Yunyang's overnight attack was completely unexpected by the Germans, so his actions were not disturbed much. Successfully put the heavy artillery on the horse, loaded the shells into the car and the captured weapons into the car, and they withdrew!
It's the 1st Assault Cavalry Division of the French Army, and their trip today is not so smooth! Because, with the dawn of dawn, the Luftwaffe, which had been holding back all night, woke up, and their target was precisely the French armored cluster.
Like Patton, a top student at West Point, Major Miller, a eugenic student at France's Saint-Cyr Military Academy, also learned something from yesterday's war. They didn't have the experiments to do during the Thunder International attack, and his forces were much more adequate than those of the Thunder International, with the armored torrent hovering in the sky, and under the cover of the Ben Thunder attack aircraft that were constantly diving to support, they made great strides.
By the time he camped at night, he had run out of bullets and fuel. Otherwise, I'm afraid that he will be like Tang Yunyang, a person who is eager to make a fortune, and he will attack without stopping last night.
He is also well aware of the excessive consumption of supplies. Before going to sleep last night, urging his logistics team, ordering them to replenish his armored forces with fuel and ammunition even if they don't sleep at night, his troops will be directed at the German airfield.
"Major Miller, it's up to you whether Verdun can withstand the German attack or not. As for whether Nancy can withstand the German attack, it is all up to us. We are all responsible! ”
When deploying the task, Tang Yunyang had already explained the situation to him quite clearly, and the goal was clearly defined.
Major Miller, who had slept comfortably all night, looked up at the sky as he went out. The wee hours of the morning sun had not yet revealed its red face, and a red glow spread over the blue-white sky like the belly of a big fish.
"It's a good day to attack, there is almost no defense in the first 40 kilometers, it looks like we will be there in a while!"
At this time, the war was still a linear front, and there was no theory of large-depth operations like World War II. Therefore, France, Britain, Russia, and Germany are all behind a strong front with millions of soldiers, and there is hardly anything to talk about on the front except for some guard units that control key points.
For the hunter regiments of the French army, today seemed to be just a pleasant hunt.
In the distance, the sound of airplane engines could be heard in the sky.
"Hey, these guys are here early!"
Major Miller sighed in his heart, the biggest feeling yesterday was that without the intimate support of these "little guys" anytime and anywhere, how could his attack be so smooth!
A swarm of black crows appeared in the sky, but they came in ...... direction.
"The Germans ......! It's the Germans' planes ......! ”
I don't know who it was, but shouted loudly in fright, and the French soldiers, who were throwing themselves and their backpacks into the car, were visibly confused.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"
"Smack! Syllable! ”
Major Miller shouted loudly, and the Mauser semi-automatic pistol in his hand fired several shots into the sky, the crisp sound of gunfire slightly suppressing the noise and stopping the chaos.
"Everyone is ready to shoot in the air, while the chariot leaves the town, and quickly contact the Iron Wing troops, tell them about our situation, and ask them to send reinforcements quickly!"
In the sky were the planes of the German flying team, although there were only about 200 of them, but for the armored forces on the ground, it was an absolute nightmare.
Bomb-mounted Fokker one after another. The E.III appeared rather clumsy when it dived, due to the belly magazine and the 12-kilogram bombs hanging under the wings.
"Shoot, shoot, the tank is not allowed to stop, keep moving!"
Major Miller shouted hoarsely, and the armored fighting vehicles of the 1st French Assault Cavalry Division began to slowly move their bloated bodies out of town like a long snake awakened.
"Da Da Da ......"
Face the Fokker who swoops down. E.III aircraft, the French soldiers used almost all their weapons. 12.7mm machine guns, 7.62mm machine guns and rifles, and even some soldiers were pouring ammunition into the sky with their shotguns.
Bright ballistics and tongues of fire intertwined in the sky.
At the same time, tongues of fire erupted from the plane, bombs rained down from the sky, and bombs dropped from the sky also roared and exploded on the ground.
Although the bombs are not large, their power is very limited, and even if the armored vehicle explodes nearby, its shrapnel does not penetrate the armor of the armored vehicle in the center. The whizzing of the aircraft was very frightening, and the German pilots, who had combat experience in Verdun, were now quite adept at ground attacks.

The French chariot that had been hit was ablaze, and the soldiers jumped from the cart to the ground with the flames on their bodies, screaming and rolling around. Trying to put out the flames.
As more and more tanks were hit, the tragic scene became more and more a heavy pressure on the hearts of every living French soldier. Their originally high soldiers began to fall rapidly, and if it continued, then the collapse was at hand.
Major Miller, with red eyes, jumped onto the armored car in which all the soldiers were killed, and operated the 12.7mm machine gun that could still be used, and fired wildly into the air.
At the same time, his heart began to think of the little ones who had been supporting them in the sky yesterday!
