Weidenfeller stood in the large open space that had been cleared and kept directing the troops to adjust their firing positions, while the people of the 1st Tank Brigade glanced at it from time to time as if they were watching a performance, and saw that the scene was completely organizing live firing, and it did not look like they were on the battlefield at all.

But in fact, the British troops stationed in Ashford had already discovered the traces of the 1st Chinese Division, but because they themselves lacked heavy weapons to deal with the impact of such a large tank force, they did not take the lead in attacking, but hoped to attract these German tanks to the city to fight, so that the advantage of infantry would be fully brought into play.

In fact, the Battle of Arras, in which the Germans used anti-aircraft guns to fight tanks, had already spread among the British, but the British did not move their anti-aircraft guns to the front of the positions.

The main reason for this is that this air defense battalion is the only air defense unit in the whole of Ashford, and the Luftwaffe planes may fly over at any time, and they dare not easily move their positions, and the other reason is the leaflets distributed by the Luftwaffe at midnight!

The leaflet had already had the effect it should have, and the morale of the British soldiers was seriously fluctuating, and they were thinking more about how to save their lives than for Churchill's government.

At six o'clock in the morning, when the morning sun had not yet emerged from the horizon, only a red glow penetrated the sky, the rocket artillery battalion directly under the 1st Huaxia Division finally made all the preparations before firing, and at this time, it coincided with the first appearance of the Luftwaffe bomber formation with live ammunition in the sky over Ashford on this day.

"The German offensive is likely to begin, get the troops ready! The air defense battalion is going to refuel over there, and try to beat down a few more German planes! ”

The British commander stationed in Ashford has been paying attention to the movements of the 1st Huaxia Division, which has been making adjustments, in his opinion, just waiting for the appearance of the Luftwaffe, and now that the Luftwaffe has appeared, it means that the German offensive will be in full swing.

The British commander thought he had everything under control, and in his opinion he had laid a net in Ashford, and although he lacked effective weapons against tanks, these iron lumps were destined to become trophies in the hands of his own infantry if they were close enough.

However, just as the British commander was complacent and waiting for the Huaxia 1st Division to enter his trap, there were suddenly bursts of smoke rising from the position of the Huaxia 1st Division, followed by white pillars of smoke stabbing diagonally ahead, which were 150mm rockets with long tail flames!

Time seems to pass very slowly in this instant!

Luftwaffe planes are finally flying over Ashford, bombardiers are trying to aim at their targets, ready to press the bombers, and British air defense forces are turning anti-aircraft guns, ready to fire shells at German bombers that appear in the sky.

Only 150mm rockets flew into the sky unhurriedly, then reached a critical point, then began to descend unhurriedly, and finally, suddenly smashed into Ashford's ground under the terrified eyes of British soldiers!

Weidenfeller's rocket artillery battalion has 50 Smoke-Jet 41 150mm multiple rocket launchers, and a salvo can project a total of millimeter rockets, but don't underestimate these 300 rockets, when these rockets are concentrated in a small area, it is simply a human disaster.

Less than 10 seconds elapsed between the first rocket falling and the last exploding, and in just 10 seconds, a third of the small town of Ashford was devastated.

Regardless of how the British defenders felt, the shock of the Luftwaffe bombers over Ashford alone was beyond the reach of the shock when they suddenly saw their target almost blown to pieces in an instant.

"Go on, Weidenfeller, let your troops continue! Blow him up two more rounds! ”

Kirsch looked excitedly at Ashford in the distance, obviously, washing the floor directly with rocket artillery is definitely the safest means!

Although this division's rocket artillery battalion was built by himself, and he had already witnessed the scene of the entire battalion firing a salvo, it was the first time Kirsch had actually seen it when it was used to hit physical targets.

But it was this glance that directly changed Kirsch's entire life creed, and he unconsciously had a tendency to coincide with a persistence in Li Ling's heart: absolute firepower coverage as a prelude to the army's attack!

Three rocket salvos, nine hundred 150mm rockets smashed into this small place, which was not much of a big place at all, and Rashford barely had a single building still intact!

At this time, Kirsch finally gave the order to attack!

The soldiers of the 1st Tank Brigade, who had been waiting for the order to attack, finally waited for the moment to show their skills, and they drove their tanks to the town, which had been intact more than ten minutes ago.

Unhindered, they rushed all the way straight into the city of Ashford.

Everywhere there were ruins, wailing British soldiers and charred corpses, and Ashford was almost a dead city.

The troops went further on, until they drove out of Ashford to the anti-aircraft positions of the British anti-aircraft battalion, where the officers and men of the 1st Tank Brigade finally saw for the first time complete equipment, a whole battalion of anti-aircraft guns!

When the 1st Huaxia Division began to carry out fire strikes on Ashford, the terrifying coverage of the rocket artillery had already scared the British air defense units located behind Ashford into peeing their pants, where would anyone care about the bombers in the sky? One by one, they abandoned their positions and ran faster than rabbits, and in an instant a battalion could not even find a single figure.

The Luftwaffe had witnessed what had happened in Ashford, and it was clear that Ashford no longer needed them to drop bombs, and the pilots, having expressed deep regret for Ashford, who had turned to scorched earth, flew away in bombers, and they were going to other targets.

The 7th Armoured Division and the 1st Chinese Division set out from Dover at the same time, and the 7th Armoured Division launched an attack on its target Canterbury a full hour before the 1st Chinese Division, but Rommel and his troops had not been able to capture Canterbury until the 1st Chinese Division had razed Ashford to the ground.

In fact, it is not to blame Rommel, but that he Kirsch did not carry out the normal war steps at all, and directly turned the whole of Ashford into ruins, a ruin, with rocket artillery, what else is worth fighting for? (To be continued.) )
