Chapter 777 Attack (2)
The German army was very calm and they waited until the French army entered a range of 200 meters before starting to counterattack... It is dangerous to do this when the enemy has tanks assisted, because even if most of the French army tanks are only 20 kilometers per hour, the distance of 200 meters only takes about one minute.
In one minute, if you are not careful, it is very likely that the enemy will rush into the defense line and start hand-to-hand combat. Even if the enemy fails to rush into the defense line and enters the distance that can throw grenades, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the German army.
However, this also shows that the German army was confident of defeating the French army, and their confidence came from their understanding of these tanks of the French army.
Needless to say, the Reno tanks were seized and converted into various vehicles for use, while the German army itself was using the Somoan tanks... This is because the speed of the Somoan tanks is similar to that of the No. 3 tanks, and their firepower and protection are better than that of the No. 3 tanks. In addition, the German army lacks supplies and the battlefield is in urgent need of tanks, which requires them to learn to operate and use these tanks.
The German army started to fight back and there was a burst of cannons, which only caused the French army to wail in a turbulent manner.
It was then that the French army realized that the German army was hiding its strength... In fact, it was not entirely hiding its strength. The reason why the German army did not fire until this time was mainly because of insufficient shells. They hoped to destroy as many targets as possible with the fewest shells.
At the moment when the German artillery sounded, the French tanks driving in front suddenly burst into fireballs one after another. Some of them were destroyed by anti-tank artillery, and some were destroyed by tank artillery... Zhang Chi discovered that the Germans had an interesting defensive tactic. They drove several tanks to the mountain and built fortifications for the tanks. These fortifications can help the tanks avoid the bombing of shells. Once the enemy launches an attack, they can be used as movable turrets to fill in the insufficient firepower and protection on the defense line in time.
Therefore, the Germans not only attack with tanks, but also defend with tanks.
However, Zhang Chi thought that the reason why the Germans used tanks in this way was also due to insufficient fuel... Insufficient fuel means that the tanks could not attack, and now they are used for defense as "waste utilization".
On the other hand, the French army attacked, the tanks used to cover the attack in front were destroyed, and the infantry following behind were in trouble... Gunshots sounded in the German defense line, and machine gun bullets poured towards the French army like "dadada" like beans. Because the air at the seaside was humid, the high temperature of the bullets continued to vaporize the water vapor, so a series of steam lines formed on the position, pointing directly at the French army charging forward. With the splashing of sand, blood and meat, the French army fell down in rows of screams.
They walked onto the battlefield with excitement and fear, but they fell on the land here forever without even seeing the enemy.
Their death can be said to be meaningless. If it means anything, it is to consume several bullets of the German army.
In addition to machine guns, the German rifles also have amazing accuracy, which can be seen from the fact that several French troops fell from time to time on the battlefield.
At that moment, the French army was almost stunned. A considerable number of them stood there at a loss or lay on the ground, and they didn't even have the courage to escape.
The French officials were still working hard, and they shouted as they let the tanks following behind to cover the infantry rush forward, while constantly calling for artillery fire to support air support.
But at this time they realized how important the coordination between the infantry, infantry, etc. was: after the tanks were tuned up, they didn't know where to attack, and the infantry rushed with the tanks. The artillery, including naval guns, did not know where to attack, because they saw all the French soldiers running around the mountains, and the air support was better because these were all US pilots, and they had certain combat experience. So although the battlefield was chaotic and their vision was unclear, they still dived down and dropped bombs at the suspected enemy's firepower.
Under the cover of air firepower, the two troops rushed to the German defense line with the support of tanks... But the French soon realized that it was futile at this time, and the Germans had already been ready. What was waiting for the French were iron fists, submachine guns and grenades.
The tanks that rushed up were blown into fireballs without exception. The tank crew with fire came out and ran around, but the Germans did not shoot at this unit... From this point, it can be seen that these Germans are a group of veterans. They know that using the enemy's howl before death to arouse the enemy's inner fear, which can also be said to be a psychological warfare.
Finally, the French army collapsed without surprise. They surged down from the mountain like a tide, while the German bullets and artillery shells were chasing behind them. Zhang Chi could clearly see the French army suddenly stretched their limbs while running wildly. Maybe they were not dead when they fell to the ground, because their hands and feet were still twitching, but this was the most unbearable, because there were no relatives or friends who accompanied them at this time, but only pain and despair.
What's worse is that some tank soldiers are already afraid of losing their minds. They stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and ran down the mountain at full speed. During the speeding process, the tank's tracks inevitably rolled on one of their own people.
The flesh and blood flew everywhere under the tracks, screaming everywhere, but the tanks still rushed around, and finally crashed into an armored vehicle following the team...
Later, these tank soldiers made people angry and resentful. The French official originally wanted to send them to the battlefield again, because the attack required tanks, and not many people could drive tanks.
But even these tank soldiers were asking the French officer: "Punish me, sir, I never want to go back to that ghost place again!"
Zhang Chi silently put away the telescope. Although these were all things he expected, Zhang Chi felt a sigh when he actually saw this scene... After all, these are human lives, and it would be reasonable if they were all French, but most of them were Algerians. This war had nothing to do with them, so it would be a bit unfair to die on the battlefield like this.
Moreover, as some recruits, there are not many recruits who have trained on the battlefield, it is definitely not surprising that the recruits who have been on the battlefield for the first time will have such performance. Even their performance is good, because at least they have attacked and attacked the German and Italian army's defense line, the nearest is only more than ten meters away.
On the contrary, those Dharma officials hid behind and only knew how to shout at them and let them rush forward.
Zhang Chi thought, this may be one of the reasons why they couldn't rush up!
To borrow Rommel's words, it is: "You fight like lions, but you are ruled by stupid donkeys!"
