Colonel Longsenberg's troops launched a fierce blow at Montgomery's 3rd British Division.

"Hyde Cape! While our planes are bombing them, immediately take all the tanks and press up! Rosenberg yelled at his old comrade-in-arms, Lieutenant Colonel Heide Cape.

In front of them, a brigade of British troops huddled in Lucca was constantly destroying their fighting spirit by bombs dropped by Stuka bombers that took off at night.

This kind of destruction of fighting spirit is not only physical, but also psychological!

Because the Stuka bombers that participated in the night raid were equipped with an air-driven sounding device in the nose cooling air intake, they could emit a miserable and piercing scream when diving, and even the bombs dropped by the Stuka bombers had a whistle, which made a terrifying sound every time during the bombing.

The Stuka bomber can not only deliver precise and powerful strikes to ground targets, but also give psychological intimidation to enemy soldiers on the ground with the screaming sound of its unique sounding device. Whenever the enemy hears this harsh sound, they will have to endure both the threat of their eardrums and their lives.

However, the Stuka bomber, which could hit both enemy positions and demoralization, was the favorite of the German army. Stuka's piercing dive whistling sound was unusually beautiful to the ears of the German soldiers.

Because every time this sound sounds, it is thought that the enemy's morale is about to be shaken and the tactical defense point is destroyed, which means that their next battle will be easier.

Now, although the night bombing made the Stuka bombers much less accurate than they were during the day, they were less effective in striking British positions. However, this kind of psychological deterrence still does not exist in the slightest. And Lonsenburg is now going to take advantage of the moment when the British defensive soldiers are shaken, increase the intensity of the attack, and strive to crush the British defense line in one fell swoop.

"Okay! I will now take an infantry company to follow behind the tanks and try to defeat the British in one fell swoop. Hyde Cape replied loudly.

Immediately afterward, he turned around and commanded: "A company! Come with me to coordinate the tank attack. ”

After speaking, he saw more than a hundred soldiers take up their weapons and guns, and line up behind Hyde Cape.

After saluting Lonsenburg, Hyde Cape waved his hand, and the officers and men of the whole company were divided into three platoons and rushed to the front line.

One of the platoons followed the five T3 tanks on the left, one platoon followed the five T3 tanks on the right, and the Heide Cape joined the 20 tanks in the center with the remaining platoon and a company.

In the darkness of the night, the tank's tracks slowly pressed through the bushes around Lucca, crushing through the black dirt and thudging forward. The soldiers led by Hyde Cape were clinging to the rear sides of the tank, moving their bodies one by one.

"Everyone! If you don't want to die too quickly, don't rush to the tank to die. Keep up with me, and use the tanks as your cover. Hyde Cape reminded loudly.

In the distance, the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force did not seem to have had time to deal with the German tanks that were still in the distance. In the midst of the firelight, they were scrambling to keep their composure from the terrifying whistling of Stuka, dodging the bombardment.

"Seize the opportunity, don't give the British time to breathe." Hyde Cape kicked the T3 tank in front of him in annoyance: "Damn, can't this pile of iron be opened a little bit?" ”

As if hearing Hyde Cape's complaints, the 20 tanks in the middle quickly picked up speed, more than doubling their speed. The soldiers, who were following the tank, immediately turned to running. In the process of running, there are even small clods of dirt that have been splashed by the tank tracks from time to time, sticking to their trouser legs.

"Accelerate! Hasten! Hyde Cape excitedly roared: "Don't be left behind, quickly rush up and take out those British in the forward trenches, and then take the whole of Lukka before the sun rises." ”

As a result, the German side was just picking up, and the British side was quick to respond to this growing threat.

A tracer bullet struck the front of their offensive line in the Hyde Cape, and then the British Vickers heavy machine guns and Enfield rifles organized fire in this direction.

It has to be said that although the British army's interception firepower network is not densely constructed at all, it can even be said to be full of loopholes. But this is in a panic after all, and the counterattack they organized in the chaos of being attacked by air raids is already remarkable.

If it is changed to the Belgian army, let alone counterattack at this time, even if it does not surrender immediately, it is already a good performance.

However, although the British army organized fire interception, it did not have much effect. Except for the three unlucky German soldiers who were shot in the arm and hung up, the other bullets were just splashing sparks on the T3 tanks in the front row, making a ping-pong impact sound, leaving some shallow grooves in the tank armor.

"The medics hurriedly bandaged the wounded, and the others paid attention to using the tank to hide their bodies!" Hyde Cape shouted.

The scene was not chaotic at the moment, but if he had rushed to order the soldiers to show their bodies and shoot back in the hail of British bullets, perhaps it would not have been just this current casualty.

"Boom!" Hyde Cape slammed the butt of his rifle against the tank in front of him, reminding the gunners inside the tank that it was time to fight back with a loud crashing sound.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ........" Hyde Cape's reminder once again worked, and 30 T3 tanks marching in three directions began a continuous round of shelling. Then, the guide machine guns on the T3 tanks also spewed out fiery tongues one after another.

The gunners were very accurate, and in the first round of shelling, they used grenades to destroy the exposed British machine gun positions, so that the arrogant Vickers heavy machine guns in the British machine gun positions were dumb. As a result, the already dense interception firepower network became more sparse, causing the firepower level of the British defense forces stationed in Lucca to drop by more than one level. 、

At this time, the Hyde Cape was also closer to the British line. Seeing that the British army's firepower was not only declining, but the distance between them and their own side was getting shorter and shorter, Hyde Cape decisively ordered: "A company commander! Get your people all started shooting! ”

"Yes!" Because he was holding the gun and was on the battlefield, the commander of the first company did not salute Hyde Cape for the sake of the situation, but directly received the order and shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers of the first company: "Don't cat behind the tank!" Give me to spread out from the wings and start shooting! ”

Soon, after the British entered the firing range, the German infantry also emerged from behind the tanks and pointed their guns at the positions of the British Expeditionary Force. At this moment, it was their turn to shoot at the British.
