Chapter 788 Mid 1

It starts out as a point, then quickly spreads to the surface, and ends with a whole collapse! The poor communication made the friendly troops next to them unable to distinguish the situation at all, looking at the panicked colleagues around them, the rest of the people chose to follow suit, and some of them even chose to retreat before they were attacked because of the position! Eventually, the French Panzer Corps, which came in like a tidal wave, receded like a tidal wave, leaving hundreds of vehicle wreckage and thousands of lives on the battlefield!

"We seem to have won?" Schmidt climbed out of the Hu Feng-style command car, which was no longer his original car, his own tank had been left on the front line, and a shell pierced the fighting compartment, and the flying debris left a deep scar on his face. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info then he was covered in blood and transferred to the current chariot.

THE FRENCH COLLAPSED, AND THE BAVARIAN ARMORED FORCES WERE APPROACHING THEIR LIMITS, AND JUST NOW, THE FRENCH WERE CONFRONTED WITH THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAVARIAN CORPS, AND SCHMIDT GATHERED EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE USED AS ANTI-ARMOR WEAPONS, EVEN ...... 105MM AND 150MM HOWITZERS. Behind this line of defense, the only anti-armor unit is a cluster grenade in the hands of the soldiers......

"Your phone, Mr. Commander." A staff officer delivered a telephone to Schmidt.

"The French retreated, we won, and after we had been supplemented and coordinated by the two wings, our road to Reims would be unimpeded, and the French would not have the opportunity to organize a counterattack of this magnitude again. But our troops suffered heavy losses, and our most elite armored divisions, together with the reserves, lost half of their combat vehicles. More than 30 percent of the personnel were also killed in the battle. Schmidt first reported to the prince about the situation on the battlefield.

"Very well, in the next 1 week, our armored forces can adjust well, the door has been opened. The armored forces of both sides suffered heavy losses, and the rest was up to the infantry. The prince said.

"Have you ever wondered what would happen if our last line of defense didn't hold?" Schmidt, who had relaxed, said half-seriously, half-jokingly.

"The local situation may be a little more troublesome, and the point of the problem is not where the French can fight, but the loss of their forces, and when their forces drop to a certain extent, the so-called breakthrough is just a joke." After a moment of silence, the prince said.

"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Schmidt said.

As the prince said, the French counterattack was a complete failure this time, and the failure of the armored assault was one of the important reasons, but not all of them, and maybe not even the main one! It seems that the French were defeated because their armored spearhead was not sharp enough to pierce the opponent's defense, but in fact, the armored forces were still the best among the French arms! The rest of the French forces could not blame the Panzer for their fault!

"We have fought out at least half of the armored forces of the Germans, and the air force is simply unable to stop the Germans from wreaking havoc, and the contest between the infantry units on the ground and the German infantry divisions can be described as completely one-sided, and I do not accept any insults and slanders against the French hoplites!" A French commander of armored forces wrote this in his diary after the battle.

This is also true, the reason why the German Empire was frustrated at the beginning of the war in this plane can actually be attributed to the problem of transportation capacity and equipment. On the whole, the contrast between the strength of the German and the Allies is actually better than history. But again, you have 10% of the combat effectiveness, but you can only play a small half of it on the actual battlefield.

The same was true of Germany at the beginning, the most elite and powerful armored forces could not quickly reach the battlefield due to transportation problems, and the Bavarian Legion, which accounted for more than one-third of the German armored force, fought the Russians in the Far East. The Air Force was also not present because of the combat radius. The new equipment that His Royal Highness the Prince had high hopes for was actually not even brought into play by 3 percent.

On the other hand, on the side of the Entente, the British naval guns went ashore to make up for the lack of long-range heavy artillery, and the armored units created by the French made up for the lack of means of breakthrough. However, these tactical advantages of Britain and France only succeeded in blocking the opponent's footsteps on the border when Germany's new equipment could not be fully put into the battlefield, and most importantly, these supplies were not obtained for nothing, or did not consume the already limited industry (such as French tanks). Either the original stock will be depleted (e.g., the train guns of the British. )

And with the recovery of transport capacity, after the German heavy equipment and air force were deployed on the Western Front, the British and French troops were beaten back to the prototype at once, and Germany also had train guns, with more heavy artillery troops, coupled with more superb artillery skills, it became inevitable that the British train guns would be suppressed. The French armored forces had absolutely no advantage in the face of the Bavarian Corps, which was already systematic, systematic, and supported by the air force, and relied on a strong numerical advantage to fight with the Bavarian Panzer Corps in the center. But for the prince, everyone's strongest things are exhausted, then I will also win. What's more, the French haven't spelled it out yet!

There is no gap between the French infantry division and history, and the German infantry division is equivalent to the reinforced version of heavy artillery in history, everyone's armored soldiers are almost redeemed, ordinary infantry divisions have become the main force, and the French can't even beat the German divisions in history, let alone fight the current strengthened version! Then defeat in the next battle is inevitable. As long as the Germans hold the gap and a large number of troops pour in, then the Germans have no reason to lose, not to mention, according to the principle of conservation of national strength, in a certain period of time, in the case of no improvement in overall national strength, there are more tanks, and the artillery will inevitably decrease, and after skimming the tanks, the defense of the French is even inferior to history!

So, it can be said that the French line did not shrink to a certain extent before the German corps was once again unable to carry out its capacity. The advance of the German regiments was unstoppable! And in this battle, the Bavarian Army did suffer heavy losses, and in total, the three breakthrough light tanks lost a total of one division of armored forces. However, fortunately, the prince's troops controlled the battlefield and could recover the damaged equipment from the battlefield, and the loss of personnel was relatively low, but it would probably take months to recover. Experienced combatants are more difficult to recover than equipment.

Compared with the more difficult middle route, the advance of the German 1st and 2nd Army Groups on the Northern Front was much smoother, on the one hand, because of the obvious superiority in strength and equipment, and on the other hand, the armored strength of the French was attracted to the middle road, and the British army was much worse than the French.
