The attack on the village of La Berzas was carried out by the 41st Tank Battalion of the 3rd Reserve Panzer Division, which was armed with 34 B1-BIS tanks and supported by an infantry battalion.

Behind them, Colonel Martin led the remnants of the 213 Regiment with about two and a half companies of troops in reserve.

As the commander-in-chief of the assault on the village of La Boxas, Colonel Martin stared at his attacking team with his arms crossed and hesitantly, the corner of his mouth curled up in a faint arc on the right side.

He had already reconnoitred that, judging by the density of foxholes and trenches on the outskirts of the village of La Bosas, there was at most a company of Germans stationed there.

Moreover, the terrain around the village of La Bersas was flat, the view was wide, and there were not many bushes that could be used as concealment, and it was definitely an easy terrain to attack and difficult to defend, and it was easy to take out the Germans there with the strength of one tank battalion and one infantry battalion.

Unlike the village of La Bosas, which was overwhelmed by the soldiers, the village of Stoney at this time was a different scene, with raindrops of shells falling on the southern part of the village one after another.

In the thick of the fire and smoke, the buildings in the southern part of the village of Stoney were reduced to rubble one after another.

24 105-mm howitzers of the 319th Motorized Artillery Regiment of the 3rd French Armored Division and 36 155-mm howitzers of the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 71st Infantry Division mercilessly rained shells on the village of Stoney, threatening to raze the village to the ground.

On the northern slope of the village of Stoney, Major Schulz and Major Graeme ran here at the beginning of the shelling, taking advantage of the anti-slope terrain to avoid the heavy French fire, and not only them, but most of the German troops in the village of Stoney were transferred here, except for a few observation posts used as a guard.

Major Schultz pointed to the village of La Berzas to the east and said, "You see, the French want to steal us from the east. ”

Graeme picked up the binoculars and looked at the village of La Bosas, and clearly saw the tank and infantry groups rushing towards the village of La Bosas, and he asked anxiously: "The enemy has at least one battalion of infantry and more than thirty tanks, can our men withstand it?" ”

"There is only one company in the village, and it will definitely not be able to withstand it." Schultz shook his head and said.

"Then we can only withdraw, otherwise it will just be a waste of the soldier's life." Graeme said.

"That's what I thought too." Major Schultz said with a smile.

Seeing the defenders fleeing in armored vehicles through the binoculars, Colonel Martin couldn't help laughing, and said to his staff without looking back: "The Germans are quite smart, they know that they can't hold and flee." ”

After laughing for a while, Colonel Martin then issued two orders, one was to report that the village of General Gransar La Berzas had been retaken, and the other was to order the troops who had captured the village of La Berzas to regroup and prepare to march to the village of Stoney, less than three kilometers to the west, and to cooperate with the main force attacking from the south to flank the village of Stoney.

After receiving the report of the recapture of the village of La Bersas, Gransar was in good spirits and immediately sent the 49th Tank Battalion, which was on standby.

The 49th Tank Battalion, also armed with 34 B1-BIS heavy tanks, swooped down on the village of Stoney to the north, supported by an infantry battalion.

The village of La Bersas was in chaos at this time, 34 B1 heavy tanks passed through the village and prepared to regroup to the west of the village, and the infantry also formed again under the loud shouts of the officers.

To the south of the village of La Bersas, Colonel Martin received a report that more than twenty French wounded had been found in the village and needed to be cared for.

In order to care for the wounded, but also to take over the defense of the village of La Bosas, Colonel Martin set out on the road to the village of La Bersas with the remnants of his 213 regiment.

When there were still more than 500 meters from the village of La Bosas, there was a commotion in the marching column of the 213th Regiment, and the soldiers stopped one after another, looking in horror at the village of La Bosas.

The commotion soon reached Colonel Martin, who jumped out of the Citroën and stood beside the car looking out over the village of La Boxas.

The village of La Berthas was still bustling, with the explosion of shells mixed with the shouts of countless soldiers, the wails of the wounded, and the roar of tank engines.

The surviving French infantry scattered in all directions, in the trenches of the roads and in the wilderness outside the village, full of French soldiers looking for concealment, and a small number of French troops outside the German artillery fire had already fled south when they saw that the situation was not good.

More than 30 B1 tanks of the 41st Tank Battalion were unharmed during the shelling, and the thick armor of the B1 tank protected the tankers.

Hearing the violent explosions outside the tank and the screams of the infantrymen, as well as the clanging sound of shrapnel hitting the steel plate of the tank, the tankers became distracted, should they continue to attack westward, or retreat south? You can't stand here and resist the German artillery fire.

To the north of the village of La Bersas, the company of paratroopers that had just escaped ran back.

Sergeant Steiner lay on the bow of the armored car and looked expressionlessly at the masterpiece created by the brothers of the artillery battalion in the village of La Bersas.

The firepower of 12 105 mm howitzers and 4 150 mm howitzers was enough to suppress the French infantry in the village of La Bersas.

As Sergeant Steiner was watching, the radio hand of the armored car suddenly leaned out of the co-pilot's seat and shouted, "Company commander, let go." ”

Sergeant Steiner then waved his hand to the mortar gunner who had been on standby in the carriage for a long time, and a few seconds later, there were two muffled sounds behind him, and two ** shots flew out of the carriage one after another, drawing two graceful arcs in the air and falling into the village of La Bersas.

Shortly after the two ** shots landed, green smoke emerged from the shells with a hissing sound like a poisonous snake spitting a letter. After a dozen seconds, almost a quarter of the village was covered in green.

Sergeant Steiner confirmed that the green smoke grenade had landed accurately, and turned his head towards the northeast sky.

In the sky, a flock of black dots gradually grows larger, revealing their graceful seagulls. Under the cover of ten Me-109 fighters, 20 Stuka dive bombers flew into the battlefield.

The green village of La Bersas was so dazzling from the sky that the pilots of the Flying Artillery Regiment of the Hermangolin Regiment quickly found their target.

20 Stukas swooped down one after another, and the piercing screams resounded across the battlefield again. Stuka swooped down almost perpendicular to the ground, smashing 50 kg of bombs and 500 kg of bombs on the heads of the French.

With the power of 500 kg of aerial bombs, even the B1 tank was not immune. Seven B1 tanks, which were relatively close to the landing point of the 500-kilogram bomb, were overturned to the ground, with the bottom of the vehicle facing the sky and the tracks spinning non-stop.

After dropping the bombs, 20 Stuka flew at low altitudes, following the example of fighter jets, and swept dozens of bloody paths on the ground with cannons and machine guns.

Clearly seeing the tragic image of a B1 tank with two tracks off the ground and being blown away by the blast of the explosion, Corporal Steiner pursed his lips and glanced at the flaming red swastika flag on the front hatch of the armored car, and said in his heart that no rookie pilot should be dizzy and unable to see his own identification mark, and his armored vehicle could not withstand this level of destruction.

After paying the price of 7 tanks being overturned and 4 broken down and abandoned by their crews, the French 41st Tank Battalion fled unjustly, leaving only the infantry alone to face the German fire.

To the south of the village of La Bexas, the remnants of Colonel Martin's 213th Regiment fled back to the woods where they had set out.

Ten minutes later, the 41st Tank Battalion fled into the woods, and the German planes returned victoriously after completing their mission.

After receiving the order from the company commander, Steiner picked up the MP38 submachine gun in his hand and shouted to Meyer beside him, "Prepare to attack." ”

A few seconds later, the engines of a dozen Type 251 armored vehicles of the paratrooper company roared like a dozen sharp arrows towards the village of La Bersas.

To the west of the village, a company of paratroopers in a Type 251 armored vehicle charged the village of La Bersas, and the two companies tacitly navigated the wilderness on the edge of the village of La Bosas, and joined forces in the south of the village, cutting off the retreat of the French infantry.

After re-forming an arc formation, more than 20 Type 251 armored vehicles charged towards the village of La Bersas.

Some of the French soldiers who fled south in a hurry saw the oncoming steel monsters, threw away their weapons one after another, and honestly raised their hands in surrender.

A few lucky French infantrymen turned around and fled towards the village of La Bersas, but were overtaken by merciless bullets and fell into a pool of blood.

Getting closer and closer to the village of La Bosas, the armored vehicles slowed down one after another, the hatches of the carriages were wide open, and one by one the paratroopers jumped out of the compartments with agility and rushed towards the village with the armored vehicles.

The German artillery fire had stopped, and the French troops in the village of La Bersas had not yet recovered from the German artillery fire, and were charged into the village by the Germans.

MP38 submachine guns, M1 semi-automatic rifles, and MG34 machine guns swept wildly towards the French, and the French infantry fell in pieces like scythe-cut wheat in a wheat field, and the rest scrambled to raise their hands to the Germans······ (The novel "Eagle of the Third Reich" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
