There was a loud bang, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke came from the turret, followed by Reinhardt's shouting.

"Target Eleven destroyed, next target."

Second Lieutenant Boulter heard that he crossed the target marked with the word 11 on the map of the French position, and then said: "Our target is the twelfth."

Boulter's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked up at the sky, a nervous look in his eyes.

An explosion rang out behind him, and the broken branches and leaves of the trees flew in the explosion, filling the trees with gray-white smoke.

"It's a French mortar, we've been spotted, Rudolph, hurry up and reverse." Boulter shouted.

Before Boult could finish speaking, a series of explosions reached the tank.

There was silence inside the tank, and the five people, led by Boulter, quietly listened to the explosion outside the car, and kept praying in their hearts that they would not be directly hit.

An extraordinarily violent explosion sounded on the left hand side of Boult, followed by the clanging of metal, and Boulter knew that the shell had landed so close to him, so to speak, only a layer of steel plates.

Accompanied by the sound of numerous explosions, Boulter's 042 tank slowly retreated deep into the woods.

That's great. The load wheels were not blown up. Boult secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After exiting almost fifty meters. Boulter told Rudolph to stop reversing, and the five men hid in the tank and continued to listen to the explosions outside.

"Graduate One, are you okay?". A familiar voice came over the radio.

"It's safe." Boulter replied.

"You've been in one location for too long, and it's easy to be spotted by the French, so you can consider changing locations."

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll think about it." Boulter said.

In the two-story building in the southwest corner of the town of Roy, Captain Dupont could clearly see through his telescope that the coordinates he had sent had been covered by heavy artillery fire.

After escaping through the back door of the Wrangler's Hotel, Captain Dupont went straight to Major Robert of the French Army in the town of Roix.

Major Robert had been alarmed by the shelling of the French troops in the town. After listening to Captain Dupont's detailed description of what happened, he couldn't help but get angry, and immediately ordered Captain DuPont to mobilize artillery to eliminate those arrogant German gunners.

Captain Dupont used his house in the town of Roy as a cover to secretly mobilize eight Brond 81mm mortars.

After arranging for the gunners of eight mortars to assemble and stand by, he himself went to the southwest corner of the town of Roa to serve as an artillery observer.

Captain DuPont was an experienced veteran and quickly figured out where Boulter was by the point of the shells in front of the Wrangler's Inn.

Captain Dupont searched the direction he determined with his telescope for a while, then fixed his sight on the dirt slope where Boulter was, and then it took less than two minutes to locate Boulter's location, after all, the smoke from the muzzle brake of the No. 4G tank was too conspicuous when it was fired.

Having secured Poulter's position, Captain Dupont ordered the mortarmen to open fire.

The shelling lasted about three minutes before it stopped, and Captain Dupont looked at the smoke-covered woods. I thought that under this density of mortar bombardment, all the German gunners hiding there must have gone to God. Even if they were lucky enough not to die, they would definitely run away and not dare to stay there any longer.

In the Wrangler Hotel, Michelle looked at the blood gushing out of Garcia's stomach like a fountain with straight eyes, no matter how much he pressed it with white gauze, he couldn't stop it, and the bright red blood rushed down Garcia's belly, sliding down Garcia's right rib to the ground, forming a small "lake" on the ground.

"George, he's dead, the shrapnel of the Germans pierced his spleen and stomach, not to mention that with our current level of medical care, there is no way to send it to a big hospital in Paris." A captain medic said, stroking Michelle's shoulder.

"Damn the Germans, they should be hanged one by one, no, they should have been blown to pieces by shells." Michelle cursed through gritted teeth.

"You're right, it's all the Germans' fault, Captain DuPont has already mobilized artillery to fight back, and those Germans must have been killed."

Michelle stared at Garcia's corpse, his eyes blank and said, "Even if they are blown up, John will not survive." ”

The military doctor was silent for a while and said, "Let's move the corpse away, this is a canteen after all, and it's not good to leave the corpse here for a long time." ”

Michelle nodded heavily, and the military doctor called a few soldiers to help, and several people worked together to lift Garcia's heavy body and walk towards the outside of the inn.

For safety, they walked through the back door of the hotel this time.

Seeing Michelle and others carrying the corpse, the French soldiers who were coming in and out of the back door of the hotel gave way, and Michelle and the others carried Garcia's body out of the hotel unimpeded.

As soon as Michelle and the others carried Garcia's body around a corner, twelve 150mm howitzer shells fell into the town of Roa with a gust of wind, two of which hit the roof of the Wrangler's Hotel.

In the light of the fire and smoke, the third floor of the Wrangler's Inn was gone, leaving only a pile of rubble.

The tragedy at the Wrangler Hotel was the beginning of German retaliation, as 150-mm shells rained down on the town of Rowa, with countless mortar shells in between.

The woods where Boult was hiding were just over 300 meters from the position of the 1st Battalion of the 116th Infantry Regiment of the 42nd Infantry Division, and Captain Dupont's shelling of the woods immediately attracted the attention of the 1st Battalion of the 116th Regiment.

The French insolence infuriated the infantry of the first battalion, and after a few radio waves flew out, the commander of the 42nd Infantry Division said that the French arrogance could not be condoned. Immediately ordered the divisional artillery regiment - to send a battalion of 150-mm heavy artillery to retaliate. Resolutely fight against the arrogance of the French.

Twelve SFH18 150-mm howitzers of the heavy artillery battalion of the artillery regiment opened fire after firing. Mortars from the 1st battalion of the 116th Regiment also joined the ranks of retaliation.

One by one, houses in the town of Rowa have been destroyed, rubble and broken glass are scattered, and paved roads have become potholes.

Looking at the town of Rova, which was caught in flames, Boult, who had just returned the No. 042 tank to its original sniper position, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how did things become like this?

After hesitating for a while, Boult immediately decided to take advantage of the fire and loot to continue shelling the French positions.

He took out his map of the French position, found the target numbered Twelve, and was about to let Reinhardt continue to fire. The position of the 1st Battalion of the 116th Regiment below the soil slope suddenly burst into dense flames and gunsmoke.

The French fought back! Boulter immediately thought of where the shells were coming from.

Poulter guessed correctly, shortly after the town of Roy was shelled by 150mm howitzers, Major Robert, the supreme commander of the French army in the town of Roix, called to report the tragic situation in the town of Roy to the regimental headquarters of the 214th Infantry Regiment, which in turn reported it to the division headquarters of the 72nd Infantry Division.

The commander of the French 72nd Infantry Division immediately ordered the division's light artillery regiment to counterattack, and the French artillery showed excellent quality, and after they received the order, the shells fired from the 36 75-mm howitzers fell on the position of the 116th Regiment and the first battalion almost instantly.

Soon after learning that the positions of the 1st Battalion of the 116th Regiment had been shelled by the French, 36 105-mm howitzers of the artillery regiment of the 42nd Infantry Division joined the ranks of the French troops in the bombardment of the town of Rois.

The French 72nd Infantry Division was also hit by the artillery of the German 42nd Infantry Division, and not to be outdone, sent their heavy artillery regiments. Shells from 12 105-mm howitzers and 12 155-mm howitzers then fell under the dirt slope where Poulter was hiding.

At 3:50 p.m., the 42nd Infantry Division sent out their ultimate killer weapon in a-for-tat manner. Stuka dive bombers recruited from the Third Air Force brought the artillery battle to a successful conclusion

At 7:40 p.m. on 28 May, Chen Dao and Mandol sat in the classroom with the door number of the first class of the year, and quietly listened to Ensign Poult talk about the examination.

"So in the end, it was the Air Force's Stuka dive bombers that solved the problem, and you withdrew after the Air Force bombers flew away?" Chen Dao asked.

Boulter stood on the podium and shook his head and said: "I did not evacuate immediately, after the Stuka dive bomber left, I contacted Major Wagner, the commander of the first battalion of the 116th Regiment, with our support, Major Wagner led his men to attack and occupy the town of Roa in one fell swoop. ”

Ensign Boult scratched his head again and said embarrassedly, "It's just that when we stormed the town, the town of Roy was almost non-existent. ”

Chen Dao raised his hand and clapped his hands a few times, then said, "It's normal, of course such a small town can't withstand the destruction of that level of firepower. ”

Chen Dao turned his head to look at Mandol Fil and asked, "What do you think of their performance?" ”

"If you have excellent results in the assessment, you will be allowed to graduate." Mandolfil said without hesitation.

"I think so too."

Chen Dao said and walked up to the podium and said to the twenty tankers in the classroom: "Congratulations, you have all passed the graduation exams and successfully obtained the driver's license of the No. 4G tank, and you can leave for your unit early tomorrow morning." As a teacher, before you leave, I want to give you one last piece of advice, that is, drunk driving is absolutely not allowed, and if anyone dares to drink and drive and I know it, I will immediately revoke your driver's license, so that you will never be able to touch the tank again, do you hear clearly? ”

"Hear me, Mr. Rosen." The tankers shouted in unison. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
