"Tell the troops to wait until the enemy is close before fighting. ”

"Yes. ”

More than 1,000 people of the Second Regiment of the Second Regiment dug three complete fortifications, and most of the anti-tank weapons were deployed on the second and third positions.

The 500-meter 2nd Regiment did not attack, and the Germans continued to advance.

The 400-meter 2nd Regiment still did not attack, and the attacking German machine gunners began to set up positions.

The 300-meter 2nd Regiment still did not attack, and the Germans accelerated their advance.

When it was two hundred meters to the first line of positions of the second regiment, the soldiers hiding in the first line of positions finally began to attack, the first to attack were mortars, anti-tank guns and heavy machine guns, mortars smashed one shell after another at the German machine gun position, the anti-tank artillery who had been aiming for a long time fired accurate armor-piercing shells, and the heavy machine guns laid a dense barrage in front of the position, suddenly like a volcanic eruption.

The German tanks and 251 armored vehicles in the advance were also destroyed by the attack of anti-tank guns, of which the No. 4 tank with seven or five guns was destroyed the most, because the No. 4 tank was an infantry tank in the definition at the time, and the seventy-five mm short-barreled tank gun installed was the greatest threat to the second regiment, so it became a priority target.

The No. 3 tank is a battle tank, the main mission is to engage the enemy's tanks, originally scheduled to be a 50 mm tank gun, but because the main anti-tank guns of the German army are 37 mm, so during the French campaign, the main guns of the No. 3 tank are almost all 37 mm tank guns, and the grenade power fired is much smaller than that of the No. 4 75 gun. The threat is naturally much smaller, so it was chosen as the second target.

The 25-mm M1934L/72 anti-tank guns on the positions of the 2nd Regiment had a very fast rate of fire, almost every two seconds, and the accuracy was also high, and the twelve 25-mm M1934L/72 anti-tank guns were named one by one against the German tanks, whether they were tanks No. 3 or No. 4 at a distance of 200 meters. None of them could stop the attack of the M1934 anti-tank guns, and all the tanks that were hit were penetrated, and either the crew members inside were all killed and stopped their activities, or the crew members fled from the billowing black smoke tank screaming.

The German infantrymen who followed the tanks and armored vehicles were also uncomfortable, and more than 20 Hatch Chase heavy machine guns were shot down when they opened fire together, and then the other soldiers immediately lay on the ground or looked for cover, listening to the sound of bullets constantly flying overhead, the German soldiers lay on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, praying in their hearts that they would not be hit by bullets. But from time to time, German soldiers were killed, and the tentative attack of the three regiments became a suicide journey without the cover of aircraft and artillery.

Seeing that his tanks were constantly being ignited, and his soldiers were suppressed on the ground by powerful machine-gun fire, Dietrich, who was holding a telescope, roared loudly: "Damn Frenchman, damn intelligence officer, this is a reserve force?! How can such a powerful anti-tank firepower and machine gun fire be a reserve and force! This must be an elite French unit, release smoke and quickly let the three regiments withdraw for me!"

Dozens of German mortars fired a large number of smoke grenades between the positions of the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Regiment, and white smoke enveloped the entire battlefield. The three German regiments left behind more than twenty burning tanks and armored vehicles, as well as more than a hundred corpses, and retreated to the rear in disarray.

Colonel Lewis beside Ouyang Yu in the concealed command post. Stunned as he looked at the battlefield that had fallen silent, his mouth couldn't close for a long time, his current mood was similar to Dietrich's, such a powerful firepower configuration was really just a reserve force? He looked at Ouyang Yu with a suspicious gaze, with a strong sense of inquiry in his eyes.

"Colonel Catherine, is it true that your unit is not a reserve disguised by the elite units of the French army, and are you hiding something from General Montgomery and me?"

"My unit's information on the Ministry of Defense is the reserve. If you or General Montgomery have any questions, you can contact our Ministry of Defence. ”

After saying this, Ouyang Yu didn't pay attention to Colonel Lewis anymore, after the battle just now, the firepower points exposed by the Second Regiment had to be rearranged, so as not to be destroyed by the German air force and long-range artillery fire that had slowed down, and Ouyang Yu could still predict it. The German army, which has absolute air supremacy, will not let go of its artillery, her artillery needs to hide from air raids, in short, there are a lot of things that she needs to deal with, and there is no time to answer Colonel Lewis's question, anyway, the identity of the system for the troops is the National Guard Brigade of Calais, that is, the reserve, and there is complete information and filing in the French Ministry of Defense, and no one can find out the problem.

Ouyang Yu is busy here, and the same is true for Dietrich over there, his soldiers have found out and fought many times with the many snipers arranged by Ouyang Yu in advance, if he doesn't clear these eyes hiding around him, he can't let the surviving artillery units deploy with peace of mind, in the previous shelling, Dietrich's artillery unit lost one-third of its artillery and a quarter of its artillery, fortunately most of the artillery did not get off the car when it was shelled, and the speed of transfer was very fast and convenient, which is also Ouyang Yu's lack of experience, if she could wait a little, wait for the artillery of the First Armored Division to be unloaded, and then carry out artillery bombardment halfway through the deployment, even if it cannot completely destroy the German artillery, it can make it ineffective.

In addition to clearing out the many snipers arranged by Ouyang Yu to find a new artillery position, Dietrich also sent a telegram to Guderian, asking Guderian to send additional artillery units over, facing Ouyang Yu's army with a strong position and strong anti-tank firepower, his first armored division ran into it head-on, it was looking for death, and Dietrich must have a hammer that could pry open Ouyang Yu's strong position.

While the enemy and us were busy deploying troops, dozens of fighters of the 3rd Wing of the Luftwaffe had already responded to Dietrich's request and flew over Arras.

"Dirty...... Filthy ......!"

The terrible air defense sirens sounded over Arras, so all the personnel who had nothing to do with the air defense operation hid in the air-raid shelters, and the artillery of Ouyang Yu's army had already been hidden, and a large amount of smoke was also released on various positions.
