It has to be said that the strength of the French commander is still very good, Benhamin judged many things from a single shell and the size of the village, and the accuracy is very high.

However, the German commander was not bad, and the German company commander chose to put the French tentative troops into the village and only ordered Gro to fire a shot, which led to the French being unaware of the German firepower and its density.

So, the unfortunate French bastards did not know that in front of them was one of the most elite divisions of the German SS, one of the only four divisions.

Like the 30mm rapid-fire gun that had just fired at Benshamin, the Germans had another 17, not counting a 75mm self-propelled gun converted from the chassis of Tank No. 1 in the company.

"Squad leader, I think the guests are here again." Behind the cover, Hoffman said as he looked at the swaying figure in the woods across the road from his sniper scope.

"Looks like we had a lot of luck today." The squad leader held up his Zeiss binoculars, "There are quite a lot of them, at least more than 300 people at the very least, maybe this is an infantry battalion of the French." ”

"Hell, what should I do?" Anek, who was lying next to the squad leader Gro, grabbed the gun in his hand and said nervously, "We only have one company." ”

Anek was a new recruit, who had been added to the 17th Infantry Division when it had withdrawn to Germany for reorganization due to heavy casualties, so he had no actual combat experience, just a rookie who had undergone three months of recruit training.

"Newcomer, don't underestimate the unit you're in." Hans grinned, he pushed Fogel, who was sorting out the machine gun bullets in his backpack, and said, "Hey, Fogel, when we were in Barcelona, how many people did we block at most?" ”

Fogel stopped what he was doing, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Well, I can't remember a little, it seems that 10 people in our squad with more than 20 Spanish National Army blocked the attack of a multi-company Republican Army in a dilapidated building, right?" ”

"Do you hear that?" Hans raised an eyebrow at Anek, "We have less than a platoon of men blocking the attack of more than a company, so you are still worried that we will not be able to hold our position?" ”

"Hans, don't talk nonsense here." Gro, the squad leader, frowned and said, "Can our situation in Barcelona compare to the current situation?" At the beginning, our opponent was the Spanish Republican Army, which was purely infantry and desperately lacked heavy firepower, and now what? Now we are facing a well-armed French army! ”

"Squad leader, I'll comfort and comfort the newcomer." Hans said curtly.

"Wow, squad leader, were you really that good at Barcelona?" Anek was surprised when he heard the squad leader admit his original achievements, "Tell us about your glorious achievements?" ”

The other recruits in the squad also looked at the squad leader Groh with a look of anticipation.

"Heh, glorious record?" Gro, the squad leader, smiled bitterly, "Our glorious record is that there were ten people when we went out and four people when we came back, and the four of us survived." ”

After listening to the class leader's words, the atmosphere in the class suddenly became dull, and even Hans, who had a detached personality, looked lonely.

"Fogel, Toth and Stum didn't have to die." Hans looked bitter and said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" ”

"Hey, man, it's not your fault." Fogel patted Hans on the shoulder, "Man, we all know that in that situation, we had to choose that way. ”

"Squad leader, what's going on?" Anek looked at Hans, who was blaming himself, and asked in a low voice.

"We were surrounded in a dilapidated building, and there were so many Republicans on the other side that we had to rely on machine-gun fire to suppress the Republican offensive." The squad leader opened his mouth to explain the situation, "As you know, the rate of fire of the MG34 is terrifying, so Hans, who operated the machine gun, and Fogel, the ammunition man, quickly ran out of bullets. In order to maintain the firepower, we gave Hans all the spare ammunition we had with us, but they quickly ran out again. ”

"As a result, we were in a very awkward situation, the machine gun ran out of ammunition, and the rifle didn't last long. Trapped, we had no choice but to let Thort and Sturm take a few Nationalist soldiers to pick up their guns and bullets on the bodies of Republican soldiers. But we were unlucky enough to be discovered, and in the end, although they brought back guns and bullets, only two Nationalists returned, and neither Toth nor Sturm could come back. Later, we relied on rifles to block the Republican attack, so Hans blamed himself, thinking that even without his MG34, we could hold on, and Thoth and Stum would not have to die. ”

"Oh God." Anek said sympathetically, "It's a shame. ”

"I'm sorry too, but I think we have more important things to do at this time than remembering our comrades." Hoffman held up his gun and said, "The guests are starting to come to the door." ”

Everyone listened to Hoffman's words and hurriedly turned their eyes back to the opposite side.

On the other side of the road, dozens of French soldiers were bending over the woods and began to cross the road towards the German positions.

"Attention, guys, the French are on the attack." The voice of the company commander came over the on-board radio, "Don't fire the artillery, greet them with machine guns and rifles." ”

"The intensity of their attack is obviously still testing the distribution of our firepower." The squad leader looked at the scattered formation of the French army and said, "The commander on the opposite side is very powerful." ”

"The commander on the other side is very powerful." At the same time, the French commander Bruno held up a telescope and said to the deputy battalion commander Benshamin, "I can't see the fire in their village, I can only see a few well-camouflaged armored vehicles in the woods outside the village." ”

"German tank troops?" Ben Shaming, who was also holding a telescope, exclaimed, "We don't have many anti-tank weapons, and if the German tank troops on the other side are more than lucky." ”

"No, no, no." Bruno said coldly, "A smart commander wouldn't use tanks specifically for positional defense, and the commander on the opposite side was obviously smart, so those camouflaged armored vehicles wouldn't be tanks, they should be armored personnel carriers or something." ”

"Then shall we use our anti-tank guns to shoot at those armored vehicles?" Benshamin asked.

"You idiot!" Bruno shook his head and said, "How can you be sure that those armored vehicles are not decoys?" What if those armored vehicles were there to seduce our anti-tank guns? If that's the case, we stupidly fired, and they can find and take out our anti-tank guns in an instant. Having lost these anti-tank guns that we have, what do we do to block the counterattack of the opposing armored forces? ”

"So what do we do?"

"Huh." Bruno looked at the French soldiers who were cautiously advancing, and sneered, "First seduce the opposing fire, then knock them out with mortars, and then launch a full-scale attack." ”
