Chapter 1522: The First Battle of the Tank

Germany has been preparing, but I don't know that Britain will be so decisive, all of a sudden to transport such a huge combat force, 20,000 tanks, even from the weight, there are 530,000 tons, according to 8 times the weight of the transport volume, in just 10 days, Britain used at least 4 million tons of power, which is almost all the power used by Britain in 10 days, a total of 4 million tons, at least 70 more than 10,000 tons of freighters, active in the English Channel route, That's all Britain can mobilize at the moment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A large number of armored forces, under the mobilization of Britain, began to take shape in Britain and then transported to Bordeaux, France, and then hidden in the mountains, in this way, emergency transportation for about 10 days, the premise of mobilizing a large number of merchant ships, and finally completed the transfer of 20,000 tanks, which is the largest strategic transfer in the history of the birth of tanks.

Not only included 20,000 tanks, but also included 120,000 freshly baked armored troops, as well as 150,000 logistics forces, because Britain was the first time to use armored forces, they did not know how to use them, 20,000 tanks, divided into different parts, almost distributed throughout Bordeaux stretching for dozens of kilometers, divided into several sections, they were ready to attack Germany's defense at the same time, under the premise of comprehensive, to disintegrate Germany's power.

On the other side, Germany has been in full swing, there is no way, Britain has such a big move, 20,000 armored vehicles, that is, the total weight of 530,000 tons, all transported over, this action is very big, after getting a reminder from the Chinese side, Germany has reconnoitred Britain in all aspects, no matter what, these big guys of steel, big guys who can move, are worth noting.

Germany is ready, and also ordered 350,000 rocket launchers and 1.5 million rockets from China, but these are not weapons that have withstood the test of war after all, but if 20,000 tanks charge in a group, especially for one aspect, these rocket launchers may not be able to have an effect, and after breaking through the German defense line with chiseling tactics, the next thing will definitely be very problematic, according to the strategy and tactics that Germany got from the Chinese side, if the other side chiseled through the main defense line of the German side, Even if Germany is well prepared, it may not be able to block such an attack, 20,000 tanks, concentrated on the most important point to attack, if you don't count the cost, even by the standards of World War II, may not be able to successfully deal with, let alone the current World War I, to put it bluntly, Britain is just the initial contact armored operation, more as a victory report, without taking into account the overall problem, at most only this area, to a certain extent, the choice is too one-sided, and does not choose the overall situation.

Britain transported a total of 20,000 vehicles, and it was not secretive, such a big thing as a tank, as long as it was intentional, could not be hidden, and Britain did not intend to conceal it, these tanks did not have the protection of camouflage, on the battlefield of Bordeaux, the brilliance of the metal was particularly eye-catching, they divided 20,000 into different parts, at least 100 different parts, that is, on a section of no more than 500 meters of defense line, the tanks that rushed over painfully would not exceed 200, if the other party still left a hand, Assign a part of the tanks to the horse, I'm afraid that the number of tanks in a certain distance will not exceed 30!

350,000 bazookas, has been arranged in the front line, an average of each squad will get one, in the case of spending at least 600,000 rounds of rocket artillery, they initially mastered the basic launch method of these rocket launchers, for the rocket launcher this weapon, very convenient, as long as the rocket is loaded, the aiming is aimed at the target, and then pull the trigger, simple abnormality, this should be the characteristics of later weapons, but now it is applied to the weapons of the First World War, this gap with difference, Directly in the midst of such a war.

Britain and France and other Allied armies, did not realize that Germany had mastered the weapons to counter them, this one, the attack that had been pinned on high hopes, is about to come to naught, not only the 20,000 tanks responsible for the main attack, will become the victims of this battle, even if the infantry following behind, it is also a little dangerous, for this battle, because the front line of Bordeaux, can not put so many troops, in this case, they concentrated the artillery fire of the follow-up troops, both sides are ready to give each other a heavy blow, relatively more hole cards, As far as Germany, which has received self-support from China, is really a little worse on the side of the Entente, not only will it not be able to play a role, but it will suffer a big loss.

Both sides are preparing, although, in the two major systems of the Entente and the Central Powers, many things will not be able to hide from both sides, but that is for the overall situation and comprehensive above intelligence, for the time being, Britain has transported 20,000 large armored forces, to the front line in France, or Germany is armed with a strong anti-armor force, have done quite secretive, both sides do not know what the other side is going to do, in the middle, Germany still occupies a certain advantage, they get the Chinese bazooka in advance, this anti-tank weapon, It will be a turning point in this campaign.

On the front line of Bordeaux, Britain and the United States began to gradually equip tanks, secret operations, did not occupy the establishment of the main force, and, secret training, everything was based on these, and even caused some whispers from the front-line troops, but unfortunately these were suppressed by the joint conference, all those who understood the strength of tanks, all pressed the treasure on this campaign, and the long-term campaign in Europe has consumed most of the strength of the Entente, especially France, from the very beginning of the war, is to go to a third of the territory, By now more than half of the territory, even Paris has been lost, and at this time, it can only barely stabilize the situation, and now, what is the purpose of these things that have been secretly mobilized, and even the whole image is shrouded in a cover.

It is the fourth year since the outbreak of the war, and all kinds of weapons have been used, and in the eyes of the soldiers of the Entente countries, nothing can change the real fate, and these things that the gods are talking about are even more impossible, and it is better to pin hope on the bravery of the soldiers than on these things.

In the abrupt situation on both sides, both the Entente and the Central Powers made final preparations, and the decisive battle was almost imminent, and no representative day was chosen, and on the day when the British armored forces were ready, war was inevitable.

Early in the morning, the sun began to leave the ground level, as early as 6 o'clock yesterday, a sumptuous meal had been delivered to the position, and the soldiers on the front line knew that the time for the final test had come, and they would follow the new weapons of the Entente to give the German devils on the opposite side the final blow. Although none of them had heard of how powerful this weapon was, it should be good according to the news they got, after all, this thing was made of steel, even if several adaptive training on the front line were shrouded in thick things, but the huge weight and roar, which brought confidence, affected everyone on the front line.

20,000 tanks, in the huge, full fifty or sixty kilometers of defense line began a group charge, according to a tank 3 meters wide, 20,000 tanks, enough to drown 60 kilometers, of course, it is impossible to rush over side by side, the thickness of a tank is too weak, the distance between each tank is about 10 meters, divided into 4 rows, with them in front of the resistance, at least 1.2 million troops, followed by the charge behind, and almost all the artillery of the Entente began to attack at any costto provide cover for armored forces and support the impact of armored forces.

Inspired by 10,000 artillery, it is very much to sort out the battlefield, this is already a fixed routine, this German side also understands, the soldiers on the front line have entered the anti-artillery hole and then the follow-up artillery fire begins to counterattack, in terms of range, Germany has enough advantages, to a certain extent, the Entente is disadvantageous, but in order to protect the tank, the Entente still fires the artillery regardless of the cost, even if the loss is huge.

At this moment, to the surprise of Germany, in the initial stage, almost all parts of the front line were dealt a huge blow, under certain circumstances heavy losses, at least 5,000 anti-tank rocket launchers, in such an all-round coverage, were killed, and even more than 10,000 people, in such the first batch of shelling, were heavily damaged, lost the strength to fight.

But after all, Germany is well-trained, the initial attack, but to make Germany scramble, but when Germany withstood the initial attrition, when it reacted, it also launched a counterattack against the Entente, but the effect was not great, Germany increased the intensity of the attack, the Allied artillery fire is also group nature, even if it is placed there to fight, it is impossible to consume it in a short period of time, not to mention, the Entente has long been prepared, the artillery positions have done a certain amount of protection, some light artillery, basically a few artillery to change a place, I prevented it from being taken away by a nest of Germany.

The artillery of both sides began an artillery battle, and even the troops said that the Entente was attacking the German defense line, under the front of the German artillery, the density was not enough, but it also reduced the speed of Germany to the front line, and the speed of the tank can reach more than 20 kilometers, only 3 kilometers of open belt, at most 10 minutes to be able to walk through the most dangerous situation, at this time for the German army on the front line is a huge test.

At this moment, the German military high-level commanded by remote control is very clear about the current situation, the Entente's method is very right, that is, to fight this gap, if the other side breaks through several defense lines, these steel monsters rush to the position, for Germany, it will be the biggest loss, even if they are annihilated, and then the war artillery fire is knocked out, Germany will not have an advantage, but will suffer huge losses, as long as the loss of personnel to a certain extent, Germany will not be able to hold on, must withdraw from the front line.

At this time, Germany was no longer complacent, all the strategic artillery began to play, frantically attacking the non-strategic artillery on the side of the Entente, with the advantage of range and power, directly let 80% of the artillery dumb, only let go of the Entente's artillery above 120 mm, relatively speaking, or the artillery below 120 mm is the majority, as long as they are dumb and no longer powerful, everything is no longer a problem, they can withstand the pressure on the defense of the position.

However, in the back and forth, Germany also suffered a lot of losses, although this loss was only a quarter of the Entente, but this is the progress of the war to the present, Germany lost the initiative for the first time, but with the help of group artillery fire, to continue, the balance of victory will change, for the Entente, it is not a good thing, this is equivalent to the final premise, to solve the concerns, next, will be the Entente and the Allies decisive battle, directly affected the course of the war between the two sides.

The inequality of information at this time showed a huge effect, the tank was only less than 800 meters away from the position of the foreword, the German high-level no longer dared to let the army recapture, immediately ordered the soldiers in the anti-artillery hole, all rushed into the trenches, waiting for the last opportunity to attack, and all the light and heavy firepower, also began to prepare, those against the best firepower of the tank, more than 8 percent of the anti-tank rocket launchers, are also assembled in the position of the front line, in this sense, the current German anti-tank firepower, Almost more than the later generations got the defensive line, more than 300,000 sets of anti-tank rocket launchers, began to aim at the tank forces that attacked the German camp.

Countless forces that have a direct threat to the tank began to target the tank, but the tank is facing the line of defense closer and closer, but it shows a strong attack power, the range of Makqin is about 1000 meters, in the range of 800 meters, there is no direct damage, but on the top of the tank, there is also a host gun, 20 mm cannon, this is on the warship, basically can only be used as a weapon to block torpedoes, weapons that do not play any role in fleet operations, for land warfare, To have a huge effect, although the power of the 20 mm gun is not too great, but in terms of coherence and rate of fire, it has reached the limit, the speed of 60 rounds a minute, the best of all light weapons, 20 mm high-explosive shells, the lethality is also enough, these are directly against the German army on the front line.

It's a pity that such a weapon, for unprotected infantry, is more lethal, but for the German army, which has successfully built a protective system, the effect is not obvious, Under the trench at least 1.9 meters deep, at intervals, there is a huge anti-artillery bunker German system, these machine guns caused losses of less than 30,000 people at most, the most important anti-tank fire, basically no effect, almost most of the German anti-tank vitality, have escaped this step of tank attack, watching the tanks get closer and closer, the anti-tank fire lying in the trench began to aim, ready to end this ironic battle.
