Soon after the offensive of the 7th Panzer Division began, Rommel caught up with the divisional artillery regiment, and Rommel preferred to stay with his own artillery units, because it would allow him to direct the artillery to destroy the enemy's most threatening targets at the first time.

Rommel used the "Eye of God" to carefully observe the situation at the front, although it was night, but the moonlight was good tonight, and the "Eye of God" could still see the situation at the front, but it was not clear.

At this time, the first line had already exchanged fire, and the tanks and armored vehicles of the 7th Panzer Division were crushing towards the positions of the British and French forces, and there were many anti-tank guns in the hands of the British and French forces, but the British and French forces were almost all equipped with 37 mm anti-tank guns, which could not penetrate the No. 4 tank at all, as long as they opened fire, they would be destroyed by the tank guns.

Is the German tank number four invincible? That was absolutely impossible, because the British and French forces did not have enough time to lay out the defensive line and build fortifications, but the British and French troops laid a lot of mines in front of their positions, including a certain number of anti-tank mines.

Although the anti-infantry mine cannot damage the No. 4 tank, the anti-tank mine weighing more than ten kilograms is so powerful that the No. 4 tank of more than 20 tons can be directly overturned, the tracks and load-bearing wheels of the tank are directly jumped, and the bottom of the tank is also torn open by the anti-tank mine. (Refer to Roadside Bombs)

Rommel watched his heart bleed when he saw that a tank was blown up by anti-tank mines from time to time, but he did anything to help, the only thing Rommel could do was to command the artillery to destroy the artillery of the British and French forces, otherwise his armored assault force would be hit by multiple firepower.

When the armored assault group of the 7th Panzer Division appeared in front of the British and French positions, their artillery desperately covered the armored assault group, and the dense artillery cover fire was also a deadly threat to the armored assault group, and at least three tanks of the armored assault group were destroyed by the large-caliber howitzers of the British and French forces.

As soon as the artillery group of the British and French forces opened fire, it was immediately captured by Rommel's "Eye of God", and he immediately told the artillery group of the British and French artillery group to the artillery regiment of the division, and the artillery regiment quickly calculated the shooting elements, and then launched artillery countermeasures against the artillery group of the British and French forces. The artillery group of the Anglo-French army was soon covered and annihilated by the heavy artillery of the 7th Panzer Division.

……

Claes's tank No. 1614 was placed in the second column, and the No. 1614 tank crushed past the British and French positions with the entire tank assault group, and both sides kept shooting flares into the air, and the entire battlefield was illuminated by flares as if it were day.

"Stay in formation...... Speed: 20......"

The car radio station issued instructions from time to time to coordinate all the actions of the tanks, and Germany took the lead in installing a car radio on the tank, which did make the German tanks very well coordinated in terms of mutual cooperation, and the British and French tanks did not have a car radio at this time! The tanks of the British and French forces did not help each other in the battle at all, and they all fought separately.

Claes had been using a periscope to observe the positions of the Anglo-French forces, the positions of the Anglo-French forces were clearly visible under the illumination of flares, and there were no Anglo-French troops in sight on the positions, nor any anti-tank guns, and the positions of the Anglo-French troops could only see the newly dug earth.

"1000 meters away ......"

In addition to the flares that rose from time to time in the positions of the British and French forces, there was no movement in the positions of the British and French forces.

"Distance 800 ......"

The positions of the British and French forces were still unresponsive, and countless flares continued to rise and fall from the positions of both sides, and the entire battlefield was like daylight.

"Distance 500 ......"

Apart from the roar of tanks, there was nothing else, neither side fired anything. Claes's heart tightened and tightened, and the eerie silence made him nervous even more than a full-blown fire.

Suddenly, the body of a tank in front of Claes trembled, and then an earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the flames from the explosion rushed up from the bottom of the tank, and the tank weighing more than 20 tons in front of Claes slammed into the air two or three meters high, and then rolled to the right at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The No. 4 tank rolled in the air for about a circle, and then slammed into the ground, knocking the turret weighing several tons into the air, throwing the bodies of the two tank crew members seven or eight meters away, and flattening the tank's body.

The sudden change scared Claes so much that he didn't know what to do, Claes's mind was confused at this time, and the car radio station sounded:

"This is an anti-tank mine planted by the enemy, keep the formation and continue to advance."

It turned out to be an anti-tank mine, and of course Claes knew that an anti-tank mine was the size of a basin, and Tank No. 4 couldn't carry it. Not to mention the No. 4 tank, the M1 heavy tank of the United States in later generations could not carry roadside bombs.

The tank in front of Claes was reimbursed by anti-tank mines, and his No. 1614 tank was automatically filled to the first row, Claes was even more nervous, if the enemy fired, there was nothing, but the enemy did not shoot until now, which made the atmosphere very strange.

Claes turned his head to look at the gunner, the loader, the communicator, everyone had beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their faces were pale from nervousness, Claes suddenly had a decision, he shouted loudly at the gunner:

"Fire...... Hurry up ......"

"Commander, there's no shooting target!"

"Just bombard Lao Tzu's position at the enemy's position, don't stop ......"

Claes finished yelling at the gunner, and then at the communicator:

"Machine gun...... Strafing at enemy positions......"

Although the noise inside the tank was very loud, because Claes's voice was loud enough, several crew members heard Claes's order clearly, and they hurriedly followed Claes's order.

The loader quickly stuffed a high-explosive shell into the chamber of the gun, and then quickly closed the running bolt, and the commander Claes put his eyes on the scope, and his hand kept adjusting the direction of the cannon, and then Claes shouted:

"Put"

The gunner pulled the bolt suddenly, and there was a loud "bang", the tank shook, the chamber of the tank gun slammed backwards, the gun door opened automatically under the recoil, and a yellow-orange-orange eggshell fell out with a "clang".

Claes saw a flash of fire on the opposing French position, and then a puff of smoke mixed with dirt rose. As soon as the cannon sounded, Claes's nervousness disappeared immediately, and the course machine gun on the tank also sounded at the same time, and the bullet fired by the course machine gun was like an orange whip, stirring against the empty position of the British and French forces.

As soon as the No. 1614 tank fired, the other tanks also moved, regardless of whether there was an enemy on the position of the British and French forces, the first burst of firepower, not to mention whether it could not hit people, at least it could eliminate everyone's nervousness, and it could also give themselves courage.
