Chapter 554: Battle of the 48th Division

♂!
Ordinary paratroopers cannot have heavy weapons. It is not safe to parachute. Although the Soviets have demonstrated airborne combat vehicles long ago, they were only light tanks, and they appeared after they came down. Failure to start.
Paratroopers can have light weapons, and even the carrying of ammunition is greatly restricted.
Therefore, in World War II, the most important thing for airborne troops was to ride gliders. The Germans came up with giant gliders. This glider with a load capacity of more than 20 tons can carry a main tank to fight!
The Panther 2 tank is lagging behind in the German equipment, but from a world perspective, it is still an advanced tank, and the 50mm tank gun is enough to destroy various French tanks in service.
Fighting Renault ft-17 is even more of a problem. Moreover, as defenders, they are now actively attacking!
Yes, just take the initiative!
The tracks of the Panther 2 tank crushed the vines, and countless grapes were crushed at this moment. In front, the strength of the 48th Division that took the lead, disappeared instantly.
Panther tank, the German Panther tank!
"God, who can tell me how did those tanks come out?" Commander Bailey, standing on top of a tank behind him, could not help muttering to himself as he watched the German attack with binoculars.
When he saw these tanks, he was shocked, but, as an experienced commander, he had reacted afterwards.
"Immediately order the tanks on the front line to retreat slowly and introduce the German tanks into our position!"
He has keenly observed the defects of the Germans.
The Germans attacked fiercely, but the Germans made a mistake. They were not accompanied by infantry behind their tanks!
In this way, when a single tank is launched, it looks very chic, but it has a big problem. Once the tank is surrounded by one's own infantry, it is easy for one's own side to blow up the other's tank by various means!
As a standing division, they have trained the tactics of fighting tanks, and now it is time for a bayonet to become popular.
The own tank, pretending to be defeated, attracted the Germans.
At the same time, in the rear, the infantry hurriedly bundled six or seven grenades together to form a cluster grenade, enough to blow up the enemy's tank tracks and other parts.
The performance of this German tank is quite good. It would be even better if it was captured by yourself! There was hope in Bailey's eyes.
"Boom!" Another shot, a retreating Renault tank, was once again destroyed.
In the rumbling tank, the driver was driving his tank with excitement. The battle just now was too fun.
"Stop moving forward." At this moment, the commander issued an order.
Stop moving? The driver pushed the neutral lever and stepped on the brakes. The command to the captain was very strange.
"Go back and prepare to return to our position." The captain continued.
They have advanced several hundred meters and killed five or six opposing tanks. They can't go any further! An experienced tank commander who participated in the Spanish Civil War, he knew that his side was rushing very fiercely now, and he should be beaten by the opponent if he passed by.
Without the infantry, after all, they were less than a thousand people in total this time, and everyone was precious and could not be wasted.
As a result, the French soldiers watched the German tank a few tens of meters away, unexpectedly stopped, and then put in reverse gear and retreated directly from the battle.
Damn it!
They threw away the cluster grenades in their hands, extremely annoyed. At the same time, the teacher Bailey in the rear frowned tightly.
He has encountered a problem, the other party is so cunning!
If the opponent keeps moving forward, their own troops will be able to eliminate them, but instead of coming over, they will go back. In this way, they will be deadlocked again.
If you continue to send tanks forward, you will be destroyed by the other side. If you do not send troops forward, the two sides will stand in a stalemate. Delaying time will definitely be beneficial to the Germans.
Of course this can't trouble him!
Bailey thought for a while, and continued to give orders: "Send a small number of tanks to continuously lure the opponent out to fight and consume their fuel!"
In this manor, it is impossible to replenish fuel in time. No matter what special means were used by the Germans, the tanks were airborne, but they would certainly not carry too much supplies, such as tank fuel.
The German tank uses diesel, which cannot be replaced by car gasoline. Now, he can only use this method to consume the opponent's strength.
The Germans have tanks, but they are scarce. Therefore, as long as he wants to let these German tanks lie down, he still has hope.
Just now, his tank also fired back~EbookFREE.me~ Unfortunately, their 37mm tank guns could not penetrate the front armor of the German tanks at all. It might be possible to hit the side or back. Now, it is not easy to get around.
Under his order, the Renault tank started to move again.
The gasoline engine rumbled, and the small Renault ft-17 tank rushed toward the opposite side again without fear.
This time, it was only a few, not many.
"No!" Favor-Joly, who was tied to the tree, made his last voice.
A Renault tank was driving over, facing his position.
Inside the tank, the line of sight is very poor. The current tank does not yet have a periscope, but a slit is opened in front of the driver, only part of the front can be seen clearly.
At this time, the tanker is already in a special state of battle. He knows that he must rush to death. However, he must execute the order. As a soldier, he must obey the order as his bounden duty. The engine rumbling behind his In the front, in addition to the vines, there are still vines.
The "Boom" Renault tank hit the vine, and the front of the car body turned into a blood red color. Favre-Joly was no longer a whole, and the driver continued to step on the accelerator. Soon, the grapes The tree fell under his tank, and when the tank passed by, there was a red blood stain under the track.
The driver had no idea that an innocent civilian had just been killed. The cashier of the Bank of France still hadn't survived until sunset, and then, their tanks also ushered in the last moment.
"Boom!" This Renault tank was hit by a flying armor-piercing projectile, followed by a violent explosion.
The battle here is constantly going on, and every moment, there will be fresh lives disappear. This is a cruel war of attrition.
