Chapter 45: Running in the Night (Revision)

Patton made a lot of sense, 20 kilometers was nothing for the two armored units of the Tiger and the Horsemen, which were composed of fully armored vehicles, especially when there were almost no decent German main forces on the ground, and a 20-kilometer march was nothing to a fully mechanized army.

But tomorrow, what if the sky is full of German planes? Although Patton's cavalry battalion was armed with 12.7mm machine guns, it was enough to give these slower-flying planes a drink. But it cannot be denied that the armored forces on the ground have a natural disadvantage to attack the sky. If the enemy continues to attack, it is very likely that the heavy artillery units that the Germans have begun to turn away will be able to get ahead of them.

"So, we'll finish this little distance tonight. The defense here will be handed over to the 'Tiger Ben' and the 'Great Mountain,' and there will be an advance base and better air defense facilities by tomorrow morning. Tonight, the Cavalry and Nightshadow troops, plus some fast troops and transport battalions, quickly assaulted, using the cover of the night to quickly take down the enemy's heavy artillery group, but immediately retreated. ”

Since the offense did not have his share, Li Erji pouted unhappily. Patton, who could take part in the operation, was a little more proud, his armored fighting vehicles were faster than tanks, and because of the long time in use and the relatively mature technology, there were far fewer breakdowns.

"You guys go back and prepare, I will personally lead this night assault!"

Tang Yunyang's last sentence made him very unhappy when he understood the little bit of complacency that had just sprung up in Barton's heart. After arranging the matters of continuous attack, Li Erzi and Barton left here and went back to prepare without mentioning it.

Marianne, who brought coffee to Tang Yunyang again, said something that almost made Tang Yunyang want to throw away the coffee cup in his hand.

"Sir, you did it on purpose, I can see that you had a plan for this when you were in Nancy City! Maybe it doesn't matter who wins this war, you only want what you want! ”

Tang Yunyang was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show any more expression on his face, and he didn't even ask a rhetorical question. Not wanting to dwell too much on Marianne, he shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and turned his coffee back to his room in the command vehicle, where he had his full combat gear.

But when he returned to the command center, the strange witch seemed to have given up on bothering him and was nowhere to be seen. But when he came outside the house, he tried to ask Rosenik to drive in the car, but found that not only was the car waiting outside the door, but also the witch was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Remember what you promised me last time you raided the German headquarters, so I have to watch you! And today I'm going to drive! ”

"This is a woman like a witch!"

With this emotional confusion, Tang Yunyang sat in the car and only said two words.

"Drive!"

In the midst of a not warm spring night in France, the attack advanced 20 kilometers, and neither the German, French, nor British troops thought about it. It's not that they won't do this, but in the years when positional warfare was prevalent, the movement of the front never exceeded 20 kilometers in a day. Even in the Battle of the Somme, in which tanks participated, the British advance was only 10 kilometers after the attack.

And this day of continuous assault by Thunder International has made them advance nearly 60 kilometers, which makes the armies of all countries feel that their front line is not so solid, and the rear is not so safe, which no one expected.

In the darkness of the night, whether it is an armored fighting vehicle or a four-wheel drive jeep. All with their headlights on, they galloped at full speed on the roads that the Germans had repaired for the quick transport of ammunition. Even roadblocks in small towns guarded by armored vehicles and pillboxes will be blasted by radio fire, followed by a rush under the cover of machine guns.

In fact, the resistance they encountered was only that of the sentinels, and as for the others, they did not even have time to put on their clothes. By the time they came out of the house brandishing their rifles, the entire convoy had already rushed past under the cover of the front and rear armored combat vehicles.

The long iron stream was like a flood of flames, and every time it encountered a German roadcar, it would shoot out a violent jet. Since the speed of their attack was so fast that everyone didn't expect it, the rapid cluster led by Tang Yunyang was extremely successful in the night raid.

When they rushed into the garrison of the German transport unit transporting heavy artillery at night, the other side was unaware. The phone calls cut off by the special forces also cut them off almost completely from the rest of the troops.

This continued until they reached the garrison of the German cavalry regiment defending the heavy artillery, which required the protection of these cavalry that could accompany them quickly, although the distant battlefield gave them some early warning. But the attacks they encountered were beyond their resistance.

In front were armored vehicles with large-caliber machine guns to open the way, and in the back were large groups of infantry participating in night raids. Self-propelled mortars provide as much fire support as possible to the infantry fighting in the front, and as soon as the armored infantry rushes into the town, they immediately jump off their armored fighting vehicles and occupy the building or house on the street corner to form a nearby fire center that can be controlled by fire.

Generally speaking, they only needed one squad and one of their armored vehicles at a time, so the armored infantry used only a small part of their forces to divide the town into small pieces, and eliminated any German ability to shift positions and form a group of resistance.

The armored vehicles in the streets restricted the movement of the cavalry, and the members of the Nightshade Force, who were tasked with piercing the ridge of the house, attacked with submachine guns on the rooftops of the houses, and dropped grenades like hailstones, so that they could not even get on their horses and gallop, and even escaped from the area became a luxury.

In the darkness of the night, the garrison of the heavy artillery unit was completely in chaos. The frightened horses neighed and ran around the streets. The rifle in the hands of the infantrymen and the sabers in the hands of the cavalry are not even as good as the burning sticks when facing the continuous submachine guns at close range. On the contrary, the Mauser semi-automatic pistols that the officers were equipped with were still somewhat useful in close combat.

It is a pity that their epaulettes, as well as their military uniforms, which distinguish them from ordinary soldiers, indicate their identity. The officers were the snipers' favorite targets, and before they could play their role, the officers were shot to the ground by the snipers.

It was a battle without suspense, neither the gunners' combat level nor the panicked German cavalry units could compete with the infantry of the Thunder International.

By the time the sky began to glow with a pale, the fighting throughout the town had completely subsided. The heavy artillery that was attacked completely fell into Tang Yunyang's hands, and those heavy artillery that he had always coveted in his eyes had completely become all the equipment of Thunder International.
