The Germans were so calm that they waited until the French had pushed into a range of two hundred meters before they began to counterattack...... It is very dangerous to do this when the enemy has the help of tanks, because most of the tanks in the army only have a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and the distance of 200 meters only takes about a minute. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In a minute, a careless accident is likely to cause the enemy to rush into the line of defense and engage in hand-to-hand combat, even if the enemy fails to break through the line and get into a distance where grenades can be thrown, it will give the Germans a certain amount of damage.

However, it also showed that the Germans were confident that they would defeat the French army, and their confidence came from their knowledge of the French tanks.

Needless to say, the Renault tanks, many of which they captured and converted into various vehicles for use, and the Somoan tanks were even used by the Germans themselves...... This was due to the fact that Somoan tanks were about the same speed as Tank 3 and had superior firepower and protection to Tank 3, as well as the lack of supplies and the need for tanks on the battlefield, which required them to learn how to operate and use them.

As soon as the Germans counterattacked, there was a burst of artillery fire, only to blow up the French army's shape and howl for a while.

It was only then that the French realized that the Germans were hiding their strength...... In fact, it was not entirely a hidden strength, the reason why the Germans did not open fire until this time was mainly because of the lack of shells, and they wanted to destroy as many targets as possible with the least number of shells.

At the moment when the German artillery sounded, the French tanks in front of them burst into fireballs one after another, some of which were destroyed by anti-tank guns, some of which were destroyed by tank guns...... Zhang Chi found that the Germans had come up with a very interesting defensive tactic, they drove several tanks up the hill and built fortifications for the tanks, which could help the tanks avoid the bombardment of shells, and once the enemy attacked, they could be used as mobile batteries to fill the lack of firepower and protection on the defensive line.

So, the Germans will attack not only with tanks, but also with tanks for defense.

However, Zhang Chi thought that the reason why the Germans used tanks like this was also due to the lack of fuel...... Running out of fuel meant that the tank could not attack, and now it was considered "waste" for defense.

On the other hand, the attacking French army, the tanks used to cover the attack in front were destroyed, and the infantry that followed behind was miserable...... The guns rang out in the German defense line, and the machine gun bullets poured down towards the French army like a burst of beans, because the sea air was humid, and the high temperature of the bullets continued to vaporize the water vapor, so a line of steam was formed on the position and pointed directly at the French army that was charging forward, with a splash of sand and blood and minced meat, the French army fell down screaming in rows.

They went into battle with excitement and fear, but they fell forever on this side of the land without even seeing the face of the enemy.

Their death can be said to be meaningless, and if anything, it is to consume a few rounds of ammunition from the Germans.

In addition to machine guns, German rifles also had an astonishing accuracy in firing, as can be seen from the occasional defeat of several French troops on the battlefield.

At that moment, the French army was almost stunned, and quite a few of them stood in place or lying on the ground at a loss, and did not even have the courage to escape.

The French officers were still trying, screaming at the tanks that followed behind them to cover the infantry, while constantly calling for artillery support and air support.

But at this time, they realized how important the coordination between each other's infantry artillery, infantry tanks, etc. was: after the tanks were transferred, they didn't know where to attack, the infantry also followed the tanks, and the artillery, including the naval guns, didn't know where to hit, because all they saw were French soldiers running around the mountains, and the air support was relatively good, because these were all American pilots, and they had some combat experience, so although the battlefield was chaotic and the line of sight was not clear, they still swooped down and dropped bombs on the suspected enemy fire.

Under the cover of aerial fire, two units rushed to the German line with the support of tanks...... But the French soon realized the futility of this time, the Germans had long been ready, and what awaited the French was an iron fist, submachine guns and grenades.

The tanks that rushed forward were invariably blown into fireballs, and the tank crews with fire howled out and ran around, and the Germans did not shoot at this unit...... From this it can also be seen that these Germans are a group of veterans, and they know that using the enemy's howl before death to inspire fear in the enemy's heart can also be said to be a kind of psychological warfare.

Finally, the French army collapsed without accident, they poured down from the mountain like a tide, while the German bullets and shells were chasing after them, Zhang Chi could clearly see in the telescope that the French troops suddenly stretched their limbs and fell to the ground in the wild run, maybe they were not dead when they fell to the ground, because their hands and feet were still twitching, but this is the most unbearable, because at this time they have no relatives and no friends, only pain and despair.

What's worse is that some tank crews have lost their minds in fear, and in order to escape, they step on the accelerator to the bottom and speed down the hill at full speed, and in the process of speeding, the tracks of the tanks will inevitably run over one of their own people one after another.

Flesh and blood flew under the tracks, screams rang out everywhere they passed, but the tank continued to rampage, and finally crashed into an armored vehicle that followed the team......

Later, these tankmen became angry, and the French officers wanted to send them into battle again, because tanks were needed for the attack, and there were not many people who could drive tanks.

But even the tankmen themselves were pleading with the French officers: "Punish me, sir, I don't want to go back to that hell place!" ”

Zhang Chi silently put away the binoculars, although these were all things he expected, but when he really saw this scene, it made Zhang Chi sigh for a while...... After all, these are human lives, and it would be reasonable if they were all French, but they are mostly Algerians, and this war has nothing to do with them, and it is a bit unjust for them to die on the battlefield like this.

Moreover, as some recruits, recruits who do not have much battlefield training, recruits who go to the battlefield for the first time, it must not be surprising that they will have such a performance, and even their performance can be considered good, because at least they have attacked, and attacked in front of the German and Italian defense lines, and the nearest point is only a dozen meters away.

On the contrary, the French officers were more likely to hide behind and shout at them to rush forward.

Zhang Chi thought, this may be one of the reasons why they can't rush up!

To borrow a phrase from Rommel: "You fight like lions, but you are ruled by stupid donkeys!" ”
