The attack of a few dozen French troops did not cause much trouble to the Germans, and the MG42, with a rate of fire of up to 1200 rounds per second, taught the French a good lesson and made them understand that Germany was not something they could learn if they wanted to.

Although the sacrifice of dozens of French soldiers was only in exchange for single-digit casualties among the German army, Bruno achieved his goal by figuring out the location of the German machine-gun position.

"Gather all our mortars and give the Germans a little color!"

"Understood, the artillery platoons of each company assembled at the battalion headquarters!" The adjutant received the order, which was quickly conveyed to the subordinates.

After a while, a total of 8 60mm mortars from the artillery platoon of the four companies, plus 4 60mm mortars and 4 120mm mortars from the battalion artillery company, arrived at the predetermined position.

The commander who commanded this "artillery group" quickly calculated the firing elements based on the position of the German machine-gun positions that he had mastered during the previous reconnaissance attack.

"One minute of rapid fire!"

With the order of the firing commander, 12 60mm mortars and 4 120mm mortars poured fire on the German positions at the fastest rate of fire.

"Damn it! Mortar! Gro quickly made out what the whistle-like sound in the air was coming from.

"Boom, boom!" Mortar shells fell on the positions, kicking up large chunks of dirt.

In just one minute, the French mortar group rained more than 360 rounds of 60mm shells and more than 40 rounds of 120mm shells on the German positions.

"Hehe, just one of your infantry companies is like blocking my footsteps?" Bruno looked at the devastated hamlet and the bombed-out trees in the woods next to it, and his face was full of pride.

"I'll go find the German's corpse and see if there's anything missing." Bruno ordered, "If there is anything that is not broken, stuff a grenade, and we will give the Germans a good ride." ”

"Hahaha." The French soldiers listened to the commander's joke and laughed one after another.

Soon they stopped laughing, though, because they heard the familiar ripping of the German MG42 again.

"My Virgin Mary, how is this possible?" Bruno looked at the German machine-gun fire that wantonly harvested the lives of French soldiers, and said dumbfoundedly.

Each of his guns fired half a base of shells, and this round of rapid fire had consumed half of the shells he carried, and Bruno could not think of how the Germans could survive such accurate and heavy fire.

"Phew, thanks to the infantry tactics tutorial written by the Führer, it is said that when arranging positions, you must dig enough anti-artillery holes, otherwise there will be few alive in this round of artillery." Hans said to himself as he got out of the anti-artillery hole with his machine gun in his arms, returned to his position and began to set up his machine guns and fire at the dense French troops.

"What's this hole called?" Fogel followed Hans out on his heels.

"Cat, cat ear piercing?" Hans replied as he poured bullets.

"Cat ear piercing, yes, cat ear piercing." Fogel held up his G41, "It's a fitting name, it looks like cat ears." ”

The two of them chatted leisurely here, and the French troops on the opposite side were not comfortable, and their round of heavy artillery bombardment except for killing a few German unlucky people, the other results were to collapse a layer of dirt on the faces of the German soldiers.

Looking at the German positions with no reduced firepower and the suppressed soldiers who couldn't get up on the ground, Bruno angrily slammed the telescope in his hand to the ground.

"Mortars can't kill you, and I can't kill you with bayonets and bullets." Bruno gritted his teeth and said, "The heavy machine gun platoon suppresses the shooting, and the second company will be on me!" ”

The French army is equipped with the M1914 "Hatch Cash" heavy machine gun is an old gun of the First World War, the performance is slightly outdated, in all aspects by the German MG42 general machine gun crushed, but it is a heavy machine gun after all, the weighted barrel ensures its shooting continuity, with the German FM24-29 light machine gun, or to a certain extent to the German machine gun firepower caused a certain amount of trouble.

Moreover, the French mortars did not stop firing after a minute of rapid fire, but switched to free fire from various gun positions, and this kind of mortar shells that flew over brought a lot of casualties to the Germans, which was much more effective than the rapid fire in front.

"No, there are too many people, and machine guns alone can't stop the French attack." The company commander looked at the French troops who were getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth, and ordered, "Attention everyone, allow infantry fighting vehicles to enter the field to provide fire support!" ”

"Just waiting for this sentence!" Nick and Anek prostrate backwards excitedly.

After a while, the "Wolf" infantry fighting vehicle, which had just been driven behind by Anek to avoid artillery fire, returned to its position, and Nick sat on the gun position, maneuvering the 30mm rapid-fire gun to aim at the dense French troops, and pulled the trigger fiercely.

The Germans were armed with a 30mm rapid-fire gun with a fully automatic rate of fire of up to 40 rounds per minute, and a 20-round drum was poured out in just 30 seconds.

Although the 30mm high-explosive bomb has a small killing radius, it is about the same as a grenade, but where can the French army withstand the attack of 18 drums and 360 grenades?

In the midst of the shouts of crying fathers and mothers, the French soldiers fled back to their starting positions.

"Hell! Is this unit in front really a company of the German army?! Bruno's eyes widened, his face full of incredulity, "How can a company have such strong firepower?" ”

"Battalion commander! Let's get on the anti-tank guns, we can't do anything with those armored vehicles. Benshamin persuaded.

"Well, now that it's over, it doesn't matter if they stay behind or not." Bruno gritted his teeth, "Let the anti-tank group go!" ”

The anti-tank group, which had received the order, quickly pushed their men up, and after tearing off the camouflage, the 4 Model 1934L/72 anti-tank guns showed their hideous faces.

Originally, the French battalion-level units were not equipped with anti-tank guns, but because their opponents had the tank units of the Wehrmacht, they were equipped with four small-caliber anti-tank guns at the battalion level as a fire supplement when they set out on the expedition.

The Model 1934L/72 anti-tank gun is not large, only 25mm, but because it has a 72 multiplier, its armor-piercing ability is also very impressive, and it can pose a threat to the German tank three, not to mention the infantry fighting vehicle in front of you, which is designed to defend against bullets.

After a burst of artillery fire, 7 of the 18 German infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed, and the remaining 11 turned and ran away, seeing that the situation was not good.

"Hahaha." Bruno looked at the deserted infantry fighting vehicles and laughed, "Without these Iron Kings, I'll see what you can do to fight me!" Go on the offensive! ”
