Hopefully there are no tanks."

"Hopefully!"

"With tanks, it's over!"

"Don't be afraid, we have infantry artillery."

Several French veterans were talking in the trench while looking warily at the thin morning mist on the opposite side.

A huge mechanical roar came from the opposite side, and the huge figure of the tank loomed in the morning fog.

Those steel behemoths are gradually approaching with the roar of their engines.

"Tank!" A veteran heard the sound of the tank and ran back along the trench without thinking.

"Bang!" A bullet accurately hit his back.

“Escape from battle and be shot!

No one is allowed to leave the trenches, the infantry and artillery are ready."

The infantry artillery was copied by the French from the Prussians and was used by front-line troops.

The French infantry cannon has a much longer barrel than the Prussian cannon.

Naturally, the weight is also much heavier.

Although it is a bit inconvenient, it has huge lethality against tanks within 800 meters.

During this attack, we encountered Ming army tanks twice, and they were killed with concentrated fire from a few infantry artillery pieces.

Ming army tanks have round heads and round heads, which are very difficult to deal with.

Because the round turret can deflect most of the artillery shells, unless the tank is driven within a distance of 600 meters.

Only infantry artillery can effectively penetrate!

The balcony is getting higher and higher, and the sky is getting brighter.

The thick fog in the morning light is gradually dissipating!

Seeing the Ming army's assault team, all the French troops on the front line were stunned.

The front of the line was densely packed with tanks, and it looked like there were more than thirty of them.

This is the first time for all the French soldiers here to see so many tanks at the same time.

Howitzer shells continued to fall on the position with whistle sounds.

The Ming army was only one kilometer away, and the Ming army was actually preparing artillery fire at this time.

The Ming army's howitzer bombardment was very precise, hitting artillery bunkers and open-air ammunition accumulation points.

The "cracking" sound of the ammunition exploding was deafening, and many French soldiers were sent into the sky by the exploding ammunition.

There was a huge roar in the sky again, and at least more than fifty Ming Army Stuka fighter jets flew over the French army's position.

"It's over!" Captain Fernandez opened his mouth wide and watched the Stukas flying overhead.

You don't need to think about it to know that these Stukas are flying towards the artillery positions.

At this time, the artillery positions were firing furiously, shelling the attacking Ming tanks.

Soon, Fernandez's ominous premonition came true.

There was a huge explosion in the direction of the artillery position, and thick smoke covered the sky.

You don't need to listen to the report to know that the artillery position is finished.

Following the explosion, the shelling suddenly stopped.

But in the sky, there were still Stukas flying overhead.

Each batch of sorties exceeds ten.

The last batch of more than a dozen Stukas no longer flew over their heads, but took turns dropping bombs on the infantry artillery fire on the ground.

A 500-kilogram aerial bomb can blast a crater five meters deep.

Stones on the ground can fly hundreds of meters high.

After dropping the aerial bombs, they would also shoot at the infantry hiding in the trenches.

The poor infantrymen could only huddle in the artillery holes and watch the hot bullets kill those brothers who had not had time to get into the artillery holes.

The tank roared and approached, and the machine gunner simply stood behind the tank, holding a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun in both hands and firing.

Among the large number of Panzer IV tanks were several larger Panzer I tanks.

Panzer 1 does not have large-caliber artillery.

There is only one twin-mounted 25mm rapid-fire cannon!

Although the artillery is not very powerful, it is very suitable for the current battlefield.

The rapid-fire cannon stared at the enemy's firepower point and fired burst after burst.

The local machine gunners did not dare to show their heads and fight back.

He could only carry the heavy Maxim machine gun and constantly change the position of the machine gun.

The Maxim machine gun, due to its structure, is generally relatively high above the trench.

Their tall gun bodies make them become tank shell attractors.

As soon as a Maxim is discovered, a series of shells will immediately hit it.

There was a Maxim, which was hit by four tank shells flying in the direction at the same time without finishing a single bullet chain.

The machine gunner's flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and Maxim's parts were scattered everywhere.

The infantry following the tanks did not have much chance to shoot.

It wasn't until the tanks rolled over the French positions that they went down to the trenches and foxholes and used grenades to deal with the French troops who were hiding in the bunkers and couldn't come out.

When you encounter a stronger bunker, a guy with a flaming gun in his hand will walk over.

Facing the door of the underground bunker, start spraying.

After spraying, don't care about the people inside.

Just arrange to blow up the entrance of the cave with explosives!

This is a new weapon of the Ming army, and its name is the flamethrower.

The function of this thing is clearly reflected in the name.

It's something that can breathe fire!

In the air, it can be sprayed more than twenty meters.

But no one uses this thing when the two armies are facing each other. This thing is used to deal with trenches and bunkers.

No matter how strong your underground bunker is, just spray it with this stuff.

There are basically no living people inside, and the temperature is thousands of degrees. After a while, the smell of barbecue will come from inside.

The most terrible thing is that this thing can burn the air inside the bunker.

Those who are not burned to death but have one breath left will be suffocated to death.

Zu Kuan was looking at the map in the command vehicle, and news came back from the front from time to time.

"Report! The progress is going well. All regiments have broken through the enemy in front of them and advanced in depth."

Military staff officer, reporting to Zu Kuan on the progress of the front line.

Zu Kuan looked at his watch. It had only been half an hour since the battle began, and breakthroughs had been made across the board.

"Forerunner group, don't worry about the enemy in front of you.

Take the Don River Bridge directly. With the Don River Bridge, we can quickly cross to Kharkov.

If there is no bridge over the Don River, we will build a floating bridge.

That would be a waste of a day."

Zu Kuan knew that for them now, time is life.

From here to Kharkiv, it is more than 300 kilometers.

But Master Ao only gave them three days.

It takes three days to attack and advance, and we have to advance 300 kilometers.

This is very difficult for ordinary infantry divisions!

Not to mention attacking forward, even if there is no one to stop it, if you run 300 kilometers on two legs, you won't be able to run down in three days.

Even if they managed to run down, when they got there, there would only be two battalions left in one division.

But for a tank division, an attack that advances a hundred kilometers in one day is nothing.

The intensive rocket fire directly detonated the mines in front of the position.
