Chapter 41: The French Army of Desser

Of course, Rommel saw that the French army was preparing to refuel the tanks, and of course Rommel would not let go of such an opportunity, he was worried that his two panzergrenadier regiments were not worthy of the name! Now that the French are willing to be convoys, Rommel will certainly not be polite.

Luxembourg picked up the microphone on the radio and ordered:

"I'm Falcon No. 1, the anti-tank guns immediately attack tanks and tankers within a kilometer, the armored regiment is ready to attack, the primary target is the enemy tankers and personnel, if necessary, leave the enemy tanks for capture."

The sound of "boom" artillery rang out instantly, and the French tanks and tankers that had stopped 100 meters away suddenly exploded violently and burst into flames.

Anti-tank guns were raging, fuel tankers were hit one by one, violent explosions sprayed gasoline everywhere, many French troops were burned by these sprays of gasoline, the terrible screams were terrifying, and the cruelty of war was everywhere.

The French tanks that were hit by the anti-tank guns were no better, and the French tanks at this time could not carry the 50 and 88 mm anti-tank guns at all, and the French light tanks, such as the Renault 35 and Soma 35, did not weigh more than 13 tons in battle, and the German 50 mm anti-tank guns were like cutting tofu, and the French light tanks were beaten into bonfires.

The so-called medium tank D2 of the French army, with a total combat weight of only 19 tons, may be able to resist 37 mm anti-tank guns from a distance of 500 meters, and the 37 mm anti-tank guns in the hands of Crommel have long been allocated to the infantry regiment, and now all the ambushes are 50 and 88 mm anti-tank guns, no matter what tanks the French army has, they will all go to hell.

The French tankmen who had climbed out of the tanks to refuel finally did not fall to pieces with their tanks, and the tanks around them were destroyed one after another, so that those French tankmen were no longer willing to return to their tanks, but ran away as fast as if they were hiding from the plague god.

At this moment, there was a violent vibration on the ground, and a large group of black pressure tanks rushed out of the woods not far away, these tanks were so powerful, they should be Germany's most advanced No. 4 tanks, and the French tank soldiers who fled saw that the situation was not right, and immediately lay on the ground with their heads in their hands and did not dare to move.

And those German tanks didn't shoot them with machine guns, these German tanks only attacked the moving French tanks, and as for the fatal stuff like the tanker, there was no French soldier for a long time.

As long as it was a French tank that was stationary, the German tanks would not attack, even the French soldiers who were scurrying around, Germany would not pay attention. The French gentlemen suddenly understood that these Germans did not slaughter those who gave up resistance, and many French "gentlemen" obediently lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, waiting for the Germans to come and take prisoners.

Because the French tanks were a long column, there were about sixty or seventy French tanks within the range of the German anti-tank guns, and about twenty or so were destroyed, and about seven or eight tankers that had been turned into bonfires.

The French tanks that were out of range reacted immediately after the troops in front were ambushed, and those tankmen who climbed out of the tank to refuel immediately climbed back into their tanks, and the French tanks outside the German range began to organize under the command of their commanders.

At this time, the place of engagement was already outside the range of the 50-mm anti-tank guns, but the 88-mm anti-aircraft guns could still hit it, and the more than 120 tanks hastily organized by the French army and the 218 No. 4 tanks of the German army faced off.

The tanks of the French are actually not bad, many tanks are Soma 35 medium tanks, the frontal armor reaches 56 mm, and the armament is 47 mm 34 times the gun, the penetration depth of this gun is not much different from the penetration depth of the 75 mm L24 gun of the German No. 4 tank, within 500 meters, the French Soma 35 is a vertical penetration depth of 48 mm. The vertical penetration depth of tank No. 4 was 55 mm.

Before the two sides of the battlefield had even entered within 500 meters, they began to fire at each other, and this was what Rommel had specially explained -- when engaged, the enemy must be dealt with the most intense firepower, regardless of whether such strikes were effective or not.

On the battlefield, artillery roared, and from time to time tanks were hit, but neither side could destroy the other from the front, and neither side's tank guns could tear through the front armor of the opponent's tanks from 500 meters away.

The French were proud, they drove the tanks to advance and form at the same time, and the Gallic chickens were still very morale to fight with the wind, and Luxembourg was asking for it! He suddenly ordered all tanks to fire while retreating.

This tactic was used by Germany until the end of World War II, and the German army used this tactic later, which was nothing more than to give full play to the high penetration depth of its own tank guns, and not to give the enemy tanks a chance to approach, and now Luxembourg uses this tactic, which is to let all the tanks charged by the French army enter the range of the 88 anti-aircraft guns they ambushed, and the 88 anti-aircraft guns have not fired at this until now, which is Luxembourg's killer weapon.

The German No. 4 tank had just rushed out of the woods for more than a thousand meters, and now it began to retreat again, and the careful thinking of the French soldiers lying on the ground began to be active, some Gallic chickens wanted to sneak into their tanks, the machine guns on the German tanks were not vegetarian, these dishonest Gallic chickens were immediately beaten into a sieve, even if someone slipped into the tank, the German anti-tank gunners who had nothing to do were doing nothing! There was something to be done now, as long as a French tank was moving, several 50mm anti-tank shells would immediately come in, and the result was that the French tank that was moving was immediately beaten into parts.

After a few more French encores made a demonstration, there was no Gallic chicken who dared to be dishonest, at least those French tank soldiers within the range of 50 mm anti-tank guns did not dare to move, Gallic chickens are not fools, they will not fight this kind of battle that is only beaten.

French tanks are generally used to support infantry, and this time they suddenly concentrated their tanks for use, which was already a very big progress, so that it was not that Lu Ji understood the essence of tank warfare, but the German tanks were crushed, and they had to concentrate all the tanks in their hands to meet the battle.

Although the French were forced to concentrate their remaining more than 100 tanks to meet the battle, they did not have tank warfare theory and related training support, so these French tanks almost rushed upwards in a swarm, and there was no coordination between tanks and tanks at all.

The No. 4 tank in Luxembourg's hands is equipped with a 75-mm 24-fold short gun, and the vertical penetration depth of 500 meters is only 55 mm, which cannot penetrate the frontal armor of the Soma 35, and the Soma's 47 mm tank gun cannot penetrate the No. 4 tank.

Both sides were pouring shells at each other's tanks, and none of them were destroyed except for a few fast French light tanks. Now the French tanks were stunned, and they rushed up even more desperately, with the posture of annihilating all the German tanks in one fell swoop.
