Chapter 34: Eagle Eyes Like Electricity (Revision)

As the cavalry got closer to these bunkers, the harder the blow became. The effective lethality range of the Stern submachine gun, which used the Mauser 7.63mm pistol round, was only about 100 meters, so the cavalry charge was put to rest here.

In particular, the rapid fire function of the Mauser semi-automatic pistol, shotgun, and submachine gun, which has the same range, is brought into full play at this time. Cavalry charging in clusters hardly needed precise aim, just a large number of bullets poured into the crowd.

Hearing the sound of continuous shooting like a torrential rain in the core bunker, the French infantry in the bunker knew how powerful the French 1st Assault Cavalry Division and those Chinese soldiers were. A soldier in any assault cavalry division raised his hand in a semi-automatic fire of 20 rounds in a row, followed by a burst of shotgun fire.

As for the noise in the turret, it was even more peculiar, and every time they fired it was like a continuous "rattling" of light machine guns, and the continuous sound of gunfire led almost everyone to think that there were at least seven or eight machine guns there.

"With such strong firepower, no cavalry can pass through! There's no doubt about that! ”

Their morale, which had been weakened by the collapse, slowly coalesced, and their pillboxes were protected by heavy sandbags, as well as hard and hard cement, steel and earth, and were extremely stable in the face of the enemy's lack of heavy firepower, and there was no need to worry about the approaching German cavalry.

The German cavalry outside the pillbox seemed to encounter an iron wall, no matter how fast the horses, no matter how brave they were, they would hit their heads and break their blood on the iron wall composed of millions of bullets, and they could not move forward.

The shouting ceased, and courage dissipated without a trace in the threat posed by the almost countless bullets, and as if attacked, the German cavalry swooped down on their horses and ran backwards.

The 60,000-strong group attack was completely dissipated by the dawn of dawn.

Although the inhabitants of Nancy were disturbed by the heavy gunfire from the early hours of the morning, they did not appear to be too busy at this time. One by one, the French went out in the early morning, as usual, and rushed to their posts.

On the streets of Nancy, some radio trucks equipped with loudspeakers broadcast war reports over and over again, and it was their voices that stabilized the mood of the citizens of Nancy.

"In the early morning, our heroic city defense army of Nancy City repelled the attack of the enemy cavalry, and killed about 20,000 enemies, according to careful statistics, our side suffered 18 casualties, of which Thunder International was wounded......"

Such a proportion of casualties is unimaginable for any Frenchman. From the beginning of this battlefield, the French have always had more dead than the German soldiers, and there are many more of them, otherwise why did the councillors, including the city of Nancy, plan to impeach General Xia Fei in the first place? The huge casualties were the most important statistic at that time.

Already moved to the command of the Nancy airport, the Emile. Major General De Leon is perusing a report. If you can see the cover of the report, then you will find that this is not a combat report, but a report that has opened up a new business.

"The possibility of a cable broadcasting system in France, Europe and the United States!"

As for the battle, it has been thrown aside by him for the time being. Early in the morning, when he received the battle report, his heart was completely relaxed. He had completely believed Tang Yunyang's words.

"If the Germans don't bring in heavy artillery and planes, Nancy City will be an impenetrable wall for them!"

Also, when he inspected part of the fast front, Emir. Major General Delion understood that such a line of defense could simply not be broken through by infantry alone. Unless the Germans brought in the heavy artillery and aircraft from Verdun, they could not succeed. So he put his mind at ease and thought carefully about the report in front of him, which was obviously more relevant to his future.

At this time, Tang Yunyang was not in the headquarters filled with telegrams, telephones, and secret calls, according to the habit of every day, he would send Rui Wu who had risen into the air at this time. The Hawkeye aerial reconnaissance command boat under the command of Lieutenant Louberry lifts into the air.

"Sir!"

According to the long-standing habit, Tang Yunyang to Ruiwu. Luberry saluted.

"I'm afraid we can't fly too far today, first, we have to pay attention to the engagement outside the city, and secondly, if the enemy attacks fiercely, it is very likely that our combined iron wings will be lifted into the air to fight, and then you will need to command the air battle."

Ruiwu. Luberry still had no more respect for his former subordinate who had been given de facto command of Nancy City, and he himself felt that he had always been his commander in front of this cunning boy. When he returned the salute to Tang Yunyang, he only said one word.

"I see, I'll watch the distance!"

As ordinary infantrymen, the German infantry did not know what they would encounter. By the time they arrived, it was mid-morning. Sleepy and tired, they did not care about resting, and immediately began to build fortifications according to the orders of the commander.

What had happened to the cavalry the night before had made it clear to the German front commander that there was a strong city in front of him, and that he had to concentrate his forces and attack with all his might.

After the cavalry units, which had suffered heavy casualties, were temporarily transferred to the battle line, the front became the world of infantry again. In the face of such a well-fortified city, a front line is an indispensable preparation.

Trenches appeared under the small shovels that the German soldiers diligently waved, and the dirt was loaded into hemp bags, and one by one they were built up to become machine gun nests and mortar emplacements, all of which quickly appeared on the surface of the position according to the German infantry drills.

"Fortunately, the French don't have any heavy artillery, and they seem to be running low on shells, otherwise why wouldn't they stop us from completing our fortifications......"

At this time, the German soldiers, who had just finished lifting and bending their waists, which had felt a little sore all morning, felt that it was time to rest, and that it would be enough to take a sip of the liquor in the kettle and the liquor that the commander had filled with it, and a cigarette. As for the hot meal, the German soldiers did not dare to think that, like the French soldiers, a piece of bread without mold on the front line would be considered not bad, and a bucket of canned food would be considered open meat.

But there are people in the sky who don't want them to rest, and they are tired and useless, and as for the gun positions left for the divisional artillery, some people in the sky are even more unhappy. Ruiwu. Louberry sipped his coffee, touched the head of Whiskey, his own head and shoulders tucked between a wireless intercom like a telephone receiver, and his eyes squinted at enemy targets drawn on a map of the battlefield.

"Our enemy should not have good fortifications, there should be no gun emplacements on the front line, and there should be no need for reconnaissance balloons and anti-aircraft guns. In a word, nothing that affects us should be there! ”
