This should be said that Qin Chuan miscalculated. Qin Chuan should have thought that the Americans should be equipped with amphibious tanks and amphibious landing vehicles at this time... Not to mention that these equipment should have appeared at this time, Qin Chuan asked these equipment to ask questions in advance and succeed on the battlefield, which would also allow the US military industry to follow and mess up these equipment.

But then I realized that it seemed too late.

The news of German cadets was relatively lagging behind. I don’t know what amphibious tanks were... In fact, the cadets knew about amphibious tanks. Their understanding of amphibious tanks was also learned from the battle examples of "Legend Sergeant". The fact that Qin Chuan used amphibious tanks and amphibious landing ships to attack the Baku oil field had long been spreading, and amphibious tanks and amphibious landing ships also became famous.

The problem is that the trainees and soldiers only heard that they had never seen it before, so when they saw the strange-shaped tanks driving towards them with tents, they were all shocked.

"What kind of tank is that?"

"Is it a new weapon for the Americans?"

"We haven't learned how to deal with this kind of tank!"

...

On the contrary, there was some knowledge among the instructors, and one of them replied loudly: "That's the amphibious tank, you idiots! The Americans learned from us! Be careful, they can cross the river!"

Before he finished speaking, a row of tanks that had already opened the fence were slowly launched.

Because the amphibious landing ship was faster, it took the lead to carry US soldiers into the water and then drove toward the other side of the river.

Almost at the same time, a whistling sound of artillery shells came from the air, and a thundering shot hit the German positions, making the German soldiers unable to raise their heads... This is the real cover of the US military's firepower. Time was just right. Just when the vanguard of the 7th Armored Division was launched, it can be seen that the US military was determined to land this time.

The amphibious landing ship is fast, with a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. In the next minute, you can advance 166 meters in the water... The Moselle River is only more than 100 meters here, which means that in theory, it does not take a minute to cross the river and enter the battle.

Of course, this is just a theoretical speed. In fact, the amphibious landing ship must slow down when entering the water, otherwise a fierce thrust into the river will never come out again. In addition, the forward mode must be converted. The speed at the beginning is definitely not fast, and the same problem occurs when exiting the water.

But even so, if everything goes well, about five minutes can make it cross the river and put into battle, which is also difficult for the German army to bear.

What's more serious is... Both sides of the amphibious landing ship need armor protection. Ordinary rifles and bullets cannot pose a threat to them. There are machine guns on them that can provide powerful firepower. They can be used as armored vehicles immediately after they get ashore.

So the German soldiers laid on the river bank in the middle area immediately doubled their pressure, and in just a few minutes they had close combat with the US military.

This surprised Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan originally thought they would choose to escape, not only because they were cadets who had never been on the battlefield, but also because they had a good retreat... They could escape south to Little Solsey Island and north to escape north to Big Solsey Island. The comrades from Big and Little Solsey Island even provided cover for them.

But they did not retreat.

The reason is very simple, there is no order to retreat, so no step is allowed to withdraw.

There is no equipment to resist amphibious landing ships... It doesn't matter, they use bazooka, anti-tank grenades to deal with them, and even rushed up with explosive bags and grenades.

"Who is commanding that unit?" Qin Chuan asked.

Eberhard flipped through the documents and replied: "Major Erich, Third Infantry Battalion!"

Qin Chuan nodded.

It is obvious that this third infantry battalion gave a good start to the entire Met Fortress, and everyone would take them as an example in the subsequent battle... This is the most important point.

After waiting for a while, Qin Chuan ordered: "Order the artillery to fire!"

"Yes, sir!"

The gun sounded a few seconds later, and the bounce was not ideal, which was related to the general old and disrepair of Metz's artillery.

But this does not affect the attack on the US amphibious landing forces by artillery fire, especially amphibious landing tanks... Qin Chuan knows the weakness of amphibious tanks. They have poor resistance to sinking. As long as a wave comes, it is possible to sink them.

Of course, there are no waves in the Moselle River, so Qin Chuan needs to create some waves... The shells exploded in the water one by one and brought out water columns. The amphibious tanks that were driving to the center of the river were drifting with the flow. After a few sways, several tanks sank into the water and never emerged.

"Good fight!" Eberhard couldn't help but scream.

But the good times didn't last long... The US military obviously considered this situation, so before Eberhard finished speaking, artillery fire in the direction of the US began to roar again.

This time, the US artillery fire was targeted at the German artillery positions.

In addition, the US fighter jets and bombers were also put into the battlefield at this moment. Suddenly, the sky was filled with the whistling of aircraft and aviation bombs, and the German artillery was pressed tightly and could not continue to carry out the bombing.

"Retreat!" Qin Chuan ordered: "Retreat the Third Infantry Battalion!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Me63 is ready!" Qin Chuan then ordered: "Aim at the tank that has just arrived!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qin Chuan hopes to use tank wreckage to block the landing points of other tanks.

Since this amphibious tank has been used before, Qin Chuan knows it very well... Its landing does not mean that it can be logged in anywhere, it has much higher requirements for the landing point than amphibious boarding.

This is mainly because the amphibious landing tank has a deep draft, so there must be a slope composed of reefs, and the slope will not slip.

Otherwise, the amphibious landing tank will be like encountering an anti-tank trench, and can only stay in the water and cannot "climb" to the shore.

Of course, the Americans must have sent divers to reconnaissance the hydrology of the Moselle River, mastered suitable landing points, and even did some treatments. For example, installing corrugated steel plates on reefs that are easy to slip, or strengthening positions that are easy to collapse.

However, there are not many locations like this. If several tanks can be destroyed at the landing point blocking the other tanks' way forward, it will at least add a little trouble to them.

Later, Qin Chuan realized that this was not just causing some trouble to the US military... The US military lacked experience in using amphibious landing tanks. They actually did not know the advantages and disadvantages of this tank very well, so when the landing site was blocked, a big mess appeared that made Patton feel distressed.
