Chapter 783: Tank Armageddon 4
The crickets on the flanks are afraid of the 75mm rapid-fire guns of the opponent in the FT10, while the wasps in the front are not so afraid, especially the vehicles that charge the front line, known as the heavy armor wasps, these vehicles with additional track shoes and load wheels on the front armor are definitely called stubborn, and even say that if it were not for the fact that the terrain of the breakthrough area is too flat, this kind of combat vehicle will not appear on the battlefield anyway, because the extra weight will affect the suspension system of the tank. Pen~fun~Ge www.biquge.info and the heavy armor at the front will also affect stability, and it will be very difficult to cross a wider trench in this case.
In fact, when they had just broken through the French defenses, the fundamental reason why these bulky steel behemoths were able to pass was because of the help of sapper bridge-building tanks, a special steel-wood hybrid structural component that paved the way over the wide trench so that these tanks could rush forward smoothly!
And now, these heavy armors are finally worth the money, and they have taught the arrogant French heavy cavalry what it means to be hard! What does it mean to be indestructible!
With a thud, the hull of the car shook again, and with a bang, Wink's skull in his leather helmet slammed into the inner wall of the tank. He couldn't remember how many times it was today, and he couldn't even remember how many times it was in half an hour. The shells of the 75mm rapid-fire gun struck the heavy armor wasp in a somewhat high position.
Countless shells flew over, some hit the cannon shield, some nailed to the upper armor, some fell to the ground, and then magically hit the lower armor belt, and even two shells hit the load wheel, thanks to the angel of St. Millega, fortunately it was a shot on the side, otherwise, his car would not be able to move.
The shells struck the steel plates, sparks flew sideways, and the manganese steel forged track shoes shattered and fell off under repeated attacks, but the remaining parts still successfully completed their mission, blocking the attacks again and again for the main armor behind, and even the armor-piercing shells fired by a French tank from 200 meters away failed to penetrate Wenk's tank, and the shell hit a place between a suspended load wheel and the track, and then was smashed into pieces.
Many wasps in the first cluster became the focus of the French's concentrated shooting, and they successfully acted as the MT color, although some were inevitably destroyed eventually, and some temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, but they still bought time for their teammates in the back, and the wasps in the back row used 75mm guns to constantly kill any French tank that appeared in the field of vision, and these hunters with long-barreled shotguns were bloody every time. A single 75mm armor-piercing round successfully pierced the FT10's fragile front armor and shattered the invincible French heavy cavalry.
"The situation is deteriorating, the assault force of the 2nd Panzer Battalion is constantly being depleted, but the number of the opposing side is constantly increasing, and in front of us, at least 4 Panzer Battalions have committed all or successively their own forces, a full 200 or more tanks of various types, as well as an unknown number of truck guns and towed guns. We are practically stuck in a situation where we are attacked on three sides, and we do not even have enough ammunition stocks. An officer reported to the front-line commander, Baron Schmidt.
"Let the first armored battalion go up, the second armored battalion will temporarily transfer to the defense, and then contact His Royal Highness and His Majesty the prince to replenish a company to the second armored battalion." The pace of the offensive must not be stopped, the stab in the middle is not deep enough, it is not enough for the large army behind to unfold, and the blood shed by the French armored forces is not much, so it is necessary to continue to move forward, if the purpose of the battle is not achieved, then try to do it! Until one of them can't hold on and falls!
"The 3rd Armored Battalion has lost more than half, the 4th Armored Battalion has lost more than a third of the battle, the 5th Armored Battalion has not been able to contact so far, and the opponent is still advancing! Judging from the information from the aviation reconnaissance, we are absolutely at a loss in terms of exchange ratio, and the enemy in front of us does not exceed 2 armored battalions at most, and we have at least 100 combat vehicles at present! "As for the French headquarters in Reims, Petain reported to Xia Fei the information sent half an hour ago. The losses in the battle report are shocking!
How long has it been since you played? In just 80 minutes, the French actually lost triple-digit armored units, and the last failed battle to storm the German line was only about 240 chariots in 3 days, and at the current rate, Petain doubted how much would be left in Luff's hands after the end of the day!
"But it's only three armored battalions of battle damage, it doesn't matter, Ruff has ten in his hands, and 2 self-propelled anti-tank gun battalions. The other side is just a state, and if we can't even stop it, then there is no need to fight this war. Xia Fei rubbed his temples that were a little numb and said.
"We can do this, withdraw a few and build a solid line of defense, and then launch a counterattack." Pétain thought for a moment and said.
"Then the opponent has to stop first, it is not an easy thing to establish a defensive line, it is not something that can be solved by putting a few anti-tank guns, now every minute and every second there is a steady stream of German troops pouring into the breach, once their infantry follows the tank to attack, it is the attack of the tide, in fact, in the middle line, we have no advantage in infantry and artillery except for the armored forces, and at that time, we may not even be able to hold Reims, so we must compress the breach, And the key to compressing the breakthrough is to repel the opponent's armored forces. ”、
"Give Luff all the troops that can get to the battlefield quickly, and do it!" Xia Fei said.
After losing more than 20 vehicles of various types, the 2nd Panzer Battalion finally came to a halt and formed a temporary defensive position in a relatively small area. Some of the combat vehicles with serious ammunition consumption began to retreat to replenish ammunition. The remaining guards, and in front of them, two more armored battalions joined the French armored forces in the front line, ready to launch a counterattack. The heavily armored spearhead of 60 FT10 tanks is pointed at the enemy in the distance!
"Three and a half armored battalions and a self-propelled anti-tank gun battalion, with 2 more armored battalions on the flanks to cooperate! There's no reason to lose this time! Lu Fu, who came to the front line, wiped the cold sweat that fell from his head and said, in fact, the situation on the battlefield is far more shocking than what he reported to the headquarters before, the fifth armored battalion is not uncontactable, but it is estimated that it has been destroyed, this battalion entered the battlefield the earliest, and now, a company-level commander has not been found, look at the two battalions behind, the situation of this battalion can be known with your knees!
