The speed of the tank equipped with a 180 horsepower diesel engine is not slow, 20 kilometers per hour is his best speed, and the limit can even reach 22 kilometers, this absolute value can not be considered very high, and a bicycle that may ride a little faster can easily surpass him, but in the muddy, and even complex battlefield environment, such a speed is quite fast, from outside the attack range of 1000 meters, to close to the trench, 20 kilometers of speed, 1000 meters of distance may only take 3 minutes, under the premise of World War I, 3 minutes is not very fast, it is like the era of high-tech warfare in later generations, not to mention 3 minutes, 30 seconds, or even a few seconds, it represents the difference between heaven and earth, because in that era, even a tank could achieve a speed of more than 70 kilometers on the battlefield, not to mention airplanes, 2 times, 3 times Mach aircraft abound.

The response of the Germans is also relatively in place, although it is said that in the face of the attack of 20,000 tanks and at least 100,000 machine guns of various calibers, the German side is under tremendous pressure, and the Allies spare no effort to attack the artillery, not hesitating to expose the location of the heavy artillery regiment, but also to suppress the front line, in this case, it is necessary to enter the trenches, and the German soldiers who are preparing for the loss are also quite small, especially the bazooka on the German side, his range is only 300 meters, in this case, at least 1 minute, There was even a little more time to attack, but the Germans responded, and when the tanks reached a distance of 600 meters, Maxim was the first to fire, followed by light and heavy machine guns.

On the front line, there are only 20,000 tanks, these specially strengthened army weapons, the protection is far more than the previous design, even if it dies at a distance of 600 meters, Makqin such a harvesting infantry weapon, compared with these tanks, there is no way to give it at all, after hitting the tank's body, Tintin partnered, but there is no one who penetrates the protection of the tank, the British put a thick armor on the tank, which has an effect, even if it is a very penetrating Makqin, a few hundred meters away, It was also impossible to penetrate the defenses of the tank, and even most of the time, only in front of the tank, a series of white spots were left.

A line of 20,000 tanks, quite well protected, at least gave a considerable barrier to the infantry following in the rear, followed by 20,000 tanks, towards the German defense line, the 1.2 million troops who made a total charge, they rejoiced, you know, in the past two years or so of confrontation, similar million-scale group charges, at least hundreds of times, but each time, even if too many preparations have been made, but the mortality rate has not been reduced, and the charge of large groups may lose 20% each time , or even 30% of them.

Now, the tank blocked the firing area of the German machine gun, although the tank is not lined up, impermeable rush up, but cover a large area, there are few machine gun bullets, can successfully pass through the tank's armor protection, they just need to run a little faster, keep up with the tank, you can safely rush to the opponent's defense line, there is no such an attack, it is so easy, as for the speed of the tank, 3 minutes to run 1000 meters, this for an ordinary civilian, may not be so easy, However, it is not too difficult for professionally trained soldiers, and besides, there is no need to follow the tank closely, the British have done tests before, and the tank is basically the safest within 100 ranges behind it, as long as it does not fall 100 meters away.

Artillery is the king of the army, but under normal circumstances, artillery is not too lethal for a group charge, and is not a densely arranged army, the real reaper is always a machine gun, especially in an open area, divided into two diagonals, cross-arranged machine guns, can be within the firing range, forming a sea of death, can be large-scale harvesting of infantry located in this range area.

On the side of the Entente, the sudden group charge, especially the prestige of 20,000 tanks charging together, Germany did not expect this even if it had been prepared for a long time, and the response was slightly deviated from the above, and the strategic artillery fire was busy suppressing the strategic artillery fire of the Entente, as for the artillery on the front line, part of it was aimed at the tanks, and part of it could not play a role because of the machine gun strafing of the tanks, but it allowed the Entente to rush into the range of 500.

On the Bordeaux front, within a range of 500 meters, it is already a relatively cutting-edge, some soldiers with better physical strength may not take 1 and a half minutes, they can run through a distance of 500 meters, as for tanks, it is faster, the fixed line of defense for attack, especially the strong defense line built by Germany, 1.2 million soldiers, is really not enough, they may pay huge casualties, but now, there are tanks in front of them, all the firepower is attracted by them, and they are full of casualties on the road, There are not many soldiers who died, this weapon is really reliable, the machine gun above has been firing, suppressing the opponent's firepower point, because there is no protection above the problem, the opponent's casualties are increasing, most of the machine guns have a range of about 1000 meters, and the 20 mm machine gun is as high as 1500 meters, their penetration and explosive power, or for the trench, there is a huge threat, with the continuous approach of the distance, the casualties on the German front line began to increase.

This not only made the soldiers who followed to the rear happy, but also made the officers who had been looking forward to the effectiveness of the tank Entente countries, also began to be excited, the tank is really worthy of the previous investment, this is a big killer weapon that changes the army's tactics, as long as there are a sufficient number of tanks, trench warfare will not become a magic weapon to hinder the offensive, trench warfare that is too stubborn, will disappear in the European theater.

However, the tanks in the charge, there are also stops, but this stop, not caused by German weapons, at this time there are more than 500 meters at a distance, a rocket launcher is only 300 meters away, even if it is a rear artillery, on the one hand, it is difficult to hit these tanks, maybe in the 3 minutes of the charge, at most seven or eight are enough caliber artillery, hit the tank in operation, but the real effect, not much, hit, in the high speed, there is no hit in the most critical place, For the tank, the damage is not very strong, and it is difficult to make the tank completely lie down.

However, in the process of charging, these tanks lying in the nest are more mechanical problems, whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom, there is not enough time for all tanks to be familiar with the control of tanks, the proficiency of a weapon, not only in terms of investment, tanks as one of the most expensive land weapons, the need to invest money is also a relatively large number, especially fuel consumption, after the loss of Baku, the fuel that Britain needs can only be transported through the United States, which increases the tension of transportation capacity on a larger scaleAccording to the oil tiger like the tank, the fuel consumption under the same weight is much higher than that of the ship, 20,000 units, which is at least equivalent to more than 10 main battleships, so dozens of times, or even hundreds of times the fuel consumption, even the British have a little pain, so what is taught is just a simple operation method.

Motor vehicle, always a precision machine, any wrong operation, will make the motor vehicle have a different reaction, the same is true of the tank, if you want to drive a 26-ton or more big guy, for the use of power and power, it must be quite accurate, any mistake may have adverse consequences, especially in this era, the precision of the machine has not yet reached the basis of the later generations, the important system on the tank, as long as there is a problem, it will cause the tank to lie down.

At this point, Britain has long been prepared, in the test site experiment, has found this kind of problem, most of the tanks can not adhere to long-distance travel, ten kilometers is already the limit, within ten kilometers, almost can ensure that more than 9 percent will not be left behind, but a little more than ten kilometers, this nest rate can not be controlled, maybe 2 into 2, maybe 3 into 3, unlucky may be close to fifty percent, this is also when Britain chooses to attack, as much as possible to reduce the distance of attack, Even in the end, the distance of 1000 meters was chosen, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to risk early exposure.

There are very few tanks lying in the nest, plus they were destroyed and damaged by shells, there are only about 40 in total, and among the huge number of 20,000, it is very inconspicuous, although in the frenzy of attack, there was a slight ripple, and then it was surpassed by the surging steel frenzy, and the focus of the entire battlefield was on the armor frenzy ahead.

Close, close, from 500 meters, to 400 meters, to 300 meters, 200 meters of distance, only walked less than 40 seconds, in the eyes of the soldiers in the rear, the most difficult place has been reached, even if there is no tank, just the speed of the infantry, 300 meters, that is, less than 1 minute, can rush up, follow behind the tank at 20 kilometers per hour, safe, as long as they rush to 50 meters in front, they can rush up directly, running at full speed is not the same as running at a constant speed, Running a distance of 50 meters in five or six seconds is not a difficult task.

The Allied troops who are charging are looking forward to the success of this operation in the rear, the Allied generals, they don't know, a protective force that can threaten their huge armored force, at a position of 300 meters, has been patiently waiting, and this waiting time is quite long, now, finally to reach the range, their waiting, their casualties, about to have a multiplier reward, the other party's happiness, will be momentary and instantaneous, about to swallow the bitter fruit for the action, The fury from the rocket artillery is about to take revenge on them.
