After the air forces of both sides were in a mess in the sky, the offensive on the ground was also launched, and according to the predetermined plan, the artillery groups belonging to the army group carried out a three-hour fire suppression of the Allied positions in front of them! The well-prepared German heavy artillery units were truly extraordinary, and they proved with their actual performance that their level was completely superior to that of Britain and France under the condition of equal equipment.

Medium-caliber rapid-fire guns and 105mm howitzers located on the front line fired first, their goal was to shoot flat off the opponent's pillboxes and various anti-tank obstacles, before the campaign was launched, some of the artillery even advanced to a distance of less than 500 meters from the target, a medium-caliber rapid-fire gun could send more than 6 shells to the opposite pillbox in a minute, under the repeated knocking of special armor-piercing shells, even the bunker built with reinforced concrete was pierced layer by layer like flour!

The attack was as violent as a volcanic eruption, but after the attack, there was a quick shift of positions, and when some of the artillery was moved from impregnable temporary positions, the French counterattack artillery fire was belated, and then the 105mm cannons and 150mm heavy howitzers deployed behind the front-line flat-fire artillery began to carry out counter-battery operations, and the Germans divided the entire battlefield into grids. When counter-battery fire is found in a certain grid, it immediately concentrates heavy artillery on counter-suppression. In order to ensure the lethality of the artillery, part of the artillery deployed at the front was even equipped with overweight concrete armor-piercing shells!

At the same time as light artillery and medium-range heavy artillery cleared shallow positions, ultra-long-range artillery such as train guns and K09 cannons began to attack the depth of the Entente, using firepower instead of troops to isolate the breakthrough positions, although such an "isolation" could not deal with armored units, but at the same time it would make the support of the French sluggish!

When the last round of shells rolled and plowed over the position, the German armored forces attacked almost in the time when the last shell fell.

"Tank attack!" Major Mike, who had already risen to the rank of commander of a large armored battalion (75 combat vehicles), participated in the first wave of attacks, and with the roar of the engines, the first company in the lead rushed out of the starting position, and then the remaining two companies followed closely behind to form a long armored spearhead.

"Something is wrong!" When Captain Albert and his men rushed out of the artillery shelter and entered the position, through the gradually dissipating smoke of gunpowder, he first noticed a strange smell in the air.

This is not only because the chariot on the opposite side is a chilling Hu Feng, but also because the chariot on the opposing chariot is painted in a slightly darker color compared to the Prussian troops. What's more, he can feel a kind of slaughter, order, and an inexplicable coercion from the other party!

The opponent's armored assault tactics are different from what they have seen before, whether it is the French or the Prussians, their attacks are simple and crude, the armored battalion will spread a very wide front, and a battalion can spread 2 kilometers wide! They simply used the tanks as mobile pillboxes, and the defense guns on the opposite side regarded them as moving targets, and after the initial fear, the defenders were not very afraid of such things as tanks. But now it's different.

"The other party is as sharp as a sharpened spearhead! The front of their attack is very narrow, which is not to say that the formation is too tight, on the contrary, their chariots maintain a distance of about 50 meters between them, which can easily facilitate the advance and retreat, and the most terrifying thing is their flexible tactics and correct disposal! After the war, Albert described the Bavarian armored forces as such.

800 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters! While the first half of the huge wedge-shaped attack formation was only 500 meters away from the opponent's position, the tanks on both flanks were still about 800 meters away! Before the attack, Mike had studied the breakthrough position, and it was very unwise to attack a place where the defensive line was relatively long and tortuous, or where the diagonal position was deployed, because the opponent could deploy a large number of troops and weapons in such an area, so the Bavarian armored elite chose a straight front as a breakthrough!

And the wedge-shaped attack formation has another advantage, there is a perpendicular distance of about 300 meters between the tanks on both sides and in the middle, and this seemingly small distance makes the defender very uncomfortable, at 400 meters, the 75 rapid-fire gun can already threaten the cricket tank, but at the same time, there is no threat to the tanks 700 meters away on both sides, and the distance of 300 meters can already make the 75 grenade unable to penetrate the armor on the opposite side! And at this time, do you fight, or don't you fight?

400 meters, 300 meters! When the forward tanks were almost close to the French lines, the 1st Company quickly stopped and began to clear the remaining points of fire with 2-pounder guns or 75mm rapid-fire guns. When the dense machine shells and 75 grenades hit the heads, no matter how calm the soldier is, he can't face such a close steel storm!

"The Dragonfly Squad suppresses the target, and the Wasp Squad begins to turn sideways!" While the tanks at the spearhead began to fire freely, the tanks on the flanks also began to change formations, turning the formation originally used for the breakthrough into a more playable linear battle column. The French machine guns and grenades could not stop the steel monsters, the advancing armored troops easily smashed the machine gun bunkers to pieces with grenades, and the soldiers were driven out of the trenches by the German Panzergrenadiers who spread out behind them with mortars and machine guns, and then swept to the ground like wheat harvesting, although the German attack did not last long, but the entire defense line was already shaking.

"Rapid-fire guns fire immediately!" Captain Albert finally couldn't bear it anymore, at this time he couldn't care about the other party's weirdness anymore, he just hoped that the 12 75mm rapid-fire guns deployed behind the position could block the opponent's attack.

But alas, 2 have already been destroyed by the flying shells, 10 75mm guns have almost launched an attack on a target that is close at hand, a rapid-fire gun hidden in a half-buried bunker shook slightly, and a cricket tank only 200 meters away from it burst into flames.

Although it was artillery, relying on the ultra-high rate of fire, these 10 guns even gave the impression of a machine gun, and in less than 2 minutes, these guns projected more than 3-figure shells at the opposing armored units! The well-concealed artillery positions and the sudden strike did cause some losses to the German armored forces, but it was only a minor trouble! This will be the last manifestation of this rapid-fire gun position!
