The Rise of the Empire

And a large number of artillery has also entered the combat position. More than three digits of self-propelled howitzers, large-caliber mortars and towed artillery have been deployed behind the three divisions. Sometimes the battle is not determined by how many artillery pieces you have, but by how many artillery pieces you have. How many artillery can you use in key areas? Although the number of artillery is not large, the caliber of this mobile artillery is generally above 120MM, and its range and power are far from comparable to the large number of 75MM artillery on the opposite side.

At the same time, the French's remaining main force of nearly 9 armored battalions has regrouped, of which 7 armored battalions formed the forward. There are also 2 armored battalions and disabled troops as reserves at the back door. From the perspective of front-line armored forces, the French have a huge numerical advantage. The Bavarian Armored Division opposite also suffered losses, and the French are full of confidence. Fully prepared to attack!

The French also have a large number of mobile artillery. The French have inherited their excellent traditions. The automobile industry is relatively NB. Even in a hurry, they can pull out a large number of truck guns and truck-tracted artillery. But they also inherited the historical problem of the French army: there were too many 75 rapid-fire guns and too few large-caliber medium and long-range weights. So this makes the French artillery very unstructured.

"Launch the attack according to the predetermined plan. Each unit will destroy all enemy targets on its offensive line. That's it. Let's get started. God bless France!" Luv's combat plan is very simple. Each armored battalion launches an attack according to the predetermined route, and then Just keep up with the infantry and artillery behind. This seemingly crude tactic was actually helpless. Although the frontal attack was not large, for the French, they had never thought of investing more than 300 tanks at the same time to launch a large-scale armored attack with the opponent.

They only use tanks as weapons to assist infantry breakthroughs and enemy armored units. It has not established a complete system, and has not considered how to use such a large-scale force, let alone a relatively complete liaison system like the Bavarian Army. The neighboring battalions may have some cooperation, and don't even think about three battalions. It was a mess. Not to mention the combination of different arms. The French just piled their troops on the battlefield, but when they were used, they still fought in their own way! This is even harder to perfect than the equipment! Before the war in Bavaria, the system was worked on for more than 6 of the 8 years!

"Why can't we wait for the Germans to come?" one officer asked.

"Their planes are coming, and their planes are even more numerous than our 75 rapid-fire cannons. Every minute that passes, our chances of winning are getting smaller!" As if to confirm Rufu's words, a group of K-4 bombers I came to Rufu's command post and wandered around. It was not that the Germans knew the location of Rufu's command post, but because there had just been a 75MM artillery battalion ready to go to the battlefield, with 16 75MM artillery pieces and more than 30 various vehicles. Vehicles and hundreds of officers and soldiers were hit from the sky!

"Two aircraft in a group, wheel attack, start!" Following the squadron leader's order, the 12 K-4 bombers dispersed into six squadrons of two aircraft. With fighter escort, these black Reapers were very He arrogantly lowered his height and speed.

"Let us fly over their scalps!" Amid some joking dialogue, the first bomber squad launched an attack. A series of small pylons located on the belly of the aircraft were opened in sequence, and a pile of high-explosive bombs weighing 25KG were first launched on Spread out on the road, successive explosions directly broke off a section of the convoy driving on the road.

Flying almost at the height of trees, the speed is the speed limit level of the highway, coupled with a decent sight and a line of targets on the ground,

The killing effect of the first round of attacks was pretty good. At least four trucks and three artillery pieces were reduced to parts by bombs dropped from the sky.

As if they were seeing vultures of flesh and blood, the six bombing teams dropped bombs at low altitudes one after another. After taking turns bombing with high-explosive bombs, anti-infantry bombs and incendiary bombs, the last two teams still felt that it was not enough, so they considerately dropped a group of bombs. A large number of anti-infantry butterfly mines were thrown to the ground. These warheads may only be as big as a bullet, but they are also models of the Bavarian army's black-hearted technology!

These mines are very small, and the warhead cannot even kill a person, and at most it can break a leg. However, the problem in war cannot be viewed this way. If a person dies, then he is dead. If you are lucky, someone will collect the body. If you're not lucky, just throw it away. But if one person is injured, including those who rescue, treat and other miscellaneous people, the other party will have to lose at least 3 to 4 people! This is simply more effective than killing directly! More importantly, when a person is disabled, he still needs to eat and consume supplies, but he can no longer go to the battlefield! This deal is so damn profitable!

Naturally, the convoy that was directly targeted could not escape and was directly beaten to pieces by bombs and subsequent rounds of strafing. However, the convoy that followed was still unlucky. The air force, which had massacred a round, set its target on the continuous stream of French troops behind. Large-caliber machine guns paired with special ammunition are lethal to all unarmored units. Just like this squadron, when hundreds of bombers and single-engine fighter jets were constantly circling in the sky and strafing French troops who had almost no air defense capabilities, this This species has completed a transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change! What started out as a troublesome situation turned into a bigger trouble, and now it's a disaster!

Many convoys try to leave the road and travel through the wilderness. For trucks, it can actually work, but if you drag another artillery or something, it will be different! Many vehicles broke down or fell into pits. The chaos extended from the road to the fields, and for these things that were almost as bright as lice on a bald man's head, the Luftwaffe would naturally not let go. After a series of large-caliber machine gun bullets, a truck and the ammunition truck behind it burst into flames with a loud noise. reduced to ashes.

Before the French's follow-up forces entered the battlefield, most of them were destroyed by bombs, wilderness and crowded roads. The French armored group in the frontal attack also ran into trouble because as many as 9 armored battalions did not follow the French's instructions. They were all crushed on the Bavarian armored forces as people imagined!

With the two wings in place, the Bavarian 1st Armored Division began to shrink the front, leaving the flanks to the infantry division with a large number of anti-tank guns. The French are attacking and we are defending. Since we can use cheap and large numbers of anti-tank guns to block it. Opponent, why do you waste precious armored troops? In this relatively narrow position, where it is impossible to choose an offensive area, artillery must be evenly defended during defensive battles, resulting in the problem of firepower dispersion. In addition, the defense of the French armored units is indeed poor, so the lethality of these artillery is quite amazing!
