The downing of a friendly plane alerted the rest of the helicopter pilots to a safer height, but although the height made them much safer, it also made the helicopter's support on the ground much weaker.

If it were ordinary German troops attacking here, then this round of helicopter support may not be of any help to them, but the attacking Germans are not ordinary German troops, they are the elite of the SS, and they have been fighting all the way from the Spanish Civil War!

The gap between the French position and the French position was only a few minutes before and after the German commander keenly grasped, and more than a dozen death squads armed with MP40 submachine guns successfully rushed into the French defense line under the cover of their comrades.

"For the Führer! For Germany! The dozen or so daredevils who stormed the French positions all had hideous expressions and fanatical slogans in their mouths. Because they knew that most of them would not be able to get out of the battle alive, and before they died, they only tried to widen the gap so that their comrades behind them could completely tear apart the French line along their corpses.

As soon as the French soldiers in the position had no time to catch their breath after coping with the attack of the German helicopters, they were suddenly beaten by a group of fierce German soldiers who rushed into the position and covered their heads. This sudden and ferocious blow made the originally strong French defense suddenly crumble.

The commander of the position, who was holding a telescope not far away and observing the enemy's situation, couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, he was a veteran of the First World War, and the assault squad in front of him reminded him of something bad.

"Storm Commando?!" The commander closed his mouth in surprise.

But he quickly recovered from his surprise and pointed at the German commandos and shouted: "Destroy them!" Destroy them! Don't let them keep widening the gap! ”

In fact, there is no need for him to say, the French troops on the position have realized this, and the French troops on both sides of the gap quickly closed in the middle, trying to wipe out the German troops who rushed into the position as quickly as possible.

But the German death squads were ready to fight for their lives with less, and in addition to being fully armed with MP40 submachine guns and concentrating the few remaining 9mm bullets of the German army, each of them carried a large number of grenades, so many that they could not throw them all - just like the real storm commandos.

And what's even more frustrating is that the grenades they carry are all defensive grenades!

According to the killing mechanism, grenades can be classified into two categories, one is an offensive grenade that mainly relies on the shock wave formed by the explosion of explosives to kill and injure the enemy, this kind of grenade is suitable for soldiers to use in offensive combat, because it tries to avoid accidentally injuring the thrower when killing the enemy in close combat.

The other type is defensive grenades, which generally do not carry a large amount of explosives like offensive grenades, but don't think that its lethality and killing range are smaller than offensive grenades because the charge of this type of grenade is not large.

On the contrary, the lethality and killing range of defensive grenades to personnel are much higher than those of offensive grenades, because defensive grenades do not mainly rely on shock waves to kill the enemy, it relies more on hundreds or thousands of prefabricated fragments in the body of the projectile to kill and injure the enemy, these fragments are extremely fast and powerful, and can usually fly tens or hundreds of meters away!

Therefore, in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly soldiers, defensive grenades are generally used in trench defense or street battles in places with tight terrain, and the user can find cover immediately after throwing it out.

And now the German army, as the attacker, carries a large number of defensive grenades, that is, they would rather be killed by the grenades they threw themselves than kill as many French troops as possible!

The French troops who came over from the anti-encirclement did not expect the Germans to be so desperate, and when they saw the grenades flying over, they subconsciously thought that they were attacking grenades, so most of them just stayed as far away from the grenades as possible instead of hiding behind nearby cover, until they were pierced by the fragments that flew in all directions, and they did not know that they regretted it.

Thirty or forty grenades were left behind and half of them immediately exploded in a vain attempt to destroy the French troops of the German commandos, but the German side was not comfortable, five or six of the more than ten commandos died under the fragments of their own people, and the rest were basically wounded.

This round seems to have earned the German commandos, but in fact it is not, because this is the home of the French army after all, and the French army organized dozens of soldiers almost immediately after this round of counterattack was repulsed, and this time they were wary of the German grenades, everyone advanced through cover, and immediately jumped into the trench or fell down behind the stones and trees when they saw a grenade flying over.

Although the German firepower is still very fierce, the MP40 uses 9*19mm Parabellum pistol bullets, which are not as penetrating as the 7.92*57mm Mauser rifle cartridges used by MG42 and G41, and there is really no effective way for the French army to advance obscenely through trees or stones.

In desperation, the commander of the German commando jumped out of the makeshift bunker and shouted to his men who were still alive: "Brothers, fight with them!" ”

With that, he raised his submachine gun and opened fire while rushing towards the approaching French officers and soldiers.

"! Fight! The other soldiers, seeing that the commander was rushing forward, also followed.

When the French officers and men saw the Germans rushing over, they immediately and unceremoniously raised their guns and fired.

Although they did admire the courage of this group of German troops, no one chose to rush forward to fight hand-to-hand combat with the Germans in the same way, because this is a battlefield after all, and the two sides of the battle will either die or die, and no one will really give up their advantage because of admiration for the opponent.

However, there were still several German daredevils who managed to rush into the crowd of French soldiers, and they did not choose to continue to shoot at the French army, but pulled the lead of the grenade in their arms and pulled the surrounding French troops to die together, and did their last part for their Führer and their homeland with death.

Seeing that the German commandos were all wiped out, the remaining French troops couldn't help but let out a long breath, they were all second-line troops, and they had very few records of fighting with the German army before, and the only few times they were chased away by German tanks, so they all thought that the German army was also powerful in armored forces and air force, and they would not necessarily lose with infantry against infantry, but after the German army's crazy attack just now, many of them began to think that they might be wrong.

Either way, they won, and the rest of the French army gathered their equipment and closed over to the gap opened by the Germans.
