Chapter 416: It Actually Moved!
Many of them had seen with their own eyes that the soldier with the shield was torn apart like paper, as was the shield in his hand, and the same was true of his body hiding behind the shield.
The shield was not to mention the fine armor they had always been proud of, but none of those who were attacked survived.
Even so, in some kind of knightly glory, some kind of belief in victory, these soldiers still rushed towards Eugen's tank position without hesitation, and opened a road to victory with their own lives.
In their eyes, the attack of the tank army is like a witch's magic, and they believe that such an attack will never last long, and as long as they grit their teeth and persevere, they will be able to usher in the final victory.
Because of ignorance, so fearlessness.
However, it has to be said that these French soldiers were right, when the sound of heavy machine guns stopped, these French soldiers instantly had a strong desire for victory, they felt that this most terrifying time was over, as long as they could impact the vicinity of those huge iron blocks, rush to the enemy's defense line, they could win the final victory.
Therefore, all the French soldiers launched a fierce charge, and they rushed forward as if they were crazy, and everyone ran with all their strength.
The roar of cannonballs still echoed around, and every moment the shells fell, clearing a clearing of about fifty meters in the French legion.
However, the soldiers who attacked France were not very afraid, because there would still be gaps under this kind of attack, and no one knew whether they would be attacked or not, and everything was left to fate, so they were fearless, and those who were really attacked had no chance to be afraid.
Although the artillery bombardment of the tank corps was fierce, because there were too many French soldiers and the front line was too long, after all, some lucky ones gradually passed through the gap of the shell bombardment and rushed to a hundred meters in front of the tank corps.
This distance is actually a bit of a threat to the tank corps, just like the lights are dark, and for the enemy who is so close, the tank has no way to cause any effective attacks.
The best way for a tank corps to fight is to combine it with the infantry, which can be used as a cover for the infantry, and the infantry can help the tank clear out the enemy who is too close.
At this moment, once the French soldiers rushed into the distance of thirty meters, Eugen and the others had no way to stop the French soldiers from approaching.
After those French soldiers approached, it would not take long to find the entrance and exit of the tank, and by that time, it would be impossible for the driver and others who remained in the tank to fight against these stubborn soldiers, and they would only be passively beaten.
At that time, the only way that awaited the tank corps was the annihilation of the entire army.
Thinking of this, Eugen didn't hesitate, a wilted smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Tank Corps, stop the attack, retreat a kilometer collectively, don't let those French soldiers get close, and then continue to attack!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Eugen's tank reacted and began to start gradually and drive towards the rear.
The same was true for the other tanks, all of which immediately activated with a buzzing sound, and then quickly retreated to the rear.
So, in the hopeful eyes of the French soldiers, the defense line they attacked with all their strength actually ...... Moved.
This thing, which was taken for granted for the tank corps, was like a bolt from the blue in the eyes of the French soldiers, the most incredible and unbelievable thing they had ever seen in their lives.
The line of defense has moved!
The huge piece of iron, which looked very heavy, was right in front of their eyes, slowly retreating towards the rear, and they chased desperately, but they couldn't keep up with the speed of the iron leaving.
This speed was almost faster than that of the fastest warhorse, and after a few minutes, they were running very far away from them, and only vague dots remained in their sight.
A kilometer, just a simple retreat for a tank corps, turned out to be a desperate distance for these French soldiers.
Poor French soldiers, in this battle, finally experienced what is called the ultimate despair, in all the past battles, the French legion, because of its bravery, strength, has made countless enemies feel the strongest despair, they are the creators of despair.
And at this moment, they themselves finally tasted the bitter fruit.
Once the tank corps reached a kilometer position, it began to bomb again, and the French soldiers at the front were already like a group of walking corpses, but continued to charge on instinct.
The French soldiers in the front row gradually died, and those in the back continued to rush up, batch after batch, one after the other.
From the beginning of the battle to the present, the casualties of the French soldiers have reached more than 50,000, which is already the number of an integrated corps, but the French soldiers have no idea of retreating, for them, because they are on the battlefield, it is difficult to rationally think about whether it is worth it, or whether it is effective.
And the commanders of the corps in the rear could not give the order to retreat, in their opinion, victory was inevitable, and the only thing to consider was the amount of price to pay.
This so-called price is just a few numbers for the commanders of the legions, but for those soldiers, it is a piece of life.
In this way, the battle entered a certain rhythm, the Flame Corps attacked around the rear, the French soldiers charged, the tank corps bombed, and when the enemy approached a certain distance, the machine gun began to strafe, and after the strafing was completed, the entire tank corps retreated a kilometer back.
In this way, after three waves of fighting, Eugen's tank corps had withdrawn three kilometers back, and the French soldiers had already rushed out about two kilometers.
The two-kilometer-long strip of land was littered with blackened craters and the corpses of French soldiers, blood flowing onto the ground and staining the ground red.
Similarly, Eugen's tank corps began to show damage, and during the second wave of attacks, the explosive packets thrown by the rushing Flame Corps once again covered the tank corps.
Several tanks were unable to retreat in time due to damaged tracks, and as a result, they were surrounded by swarming French soldiers, and no longer had a chance to escape.
