Chapter 1,436: Attack 1

Chapter 1436 Attack 1

"Release smoke screen, troops retreat. Prepare to deploy on the spot!" A series of orders were quickly issued. The smoke screen released by tanks and mortars quickly enveloped the entire battlefield. Soldiers began to retreat alternately under the leadership of officers, looking for bunkers to establish defensive positions. , and the tank troops also retreated, and some heavy-consuming crews began to return to the back to replenish ammunition and fuel. Under the cover of some troops, the accompanying repair vehicles also began to recover our own injured vehicles and supplies on the battlefield.

A group of British DH7 light bombers appeared on the horizon. These vultures quickly attacked the defending German troops as if they had discovered fresh prey. However, what they did not expect was that this time, they were facing well-prepared hunters. Rather than being defenseless prey!

The three DH7 bombers lowered their altitude to about 150 meters, and then dropped 50KG anti-infantry bombs almost against the ground into the German troops. As the bombs exploded, dark eyes rose into the sky and spread all around. Each anti-infantry bomb contains thousands of prefabricated shrapnel, which explodes in the air to form a rain of death covering a radius of more than ten meters.

"This timing is perfect. The German escort planes have just returned, and the German troops on the ground have not yet formed a solid defense line. Then we dropped bombs into them." A British pilot said happily, before throwing away the bomb After that, these guys were still unwilling to leave and continued to use machine guns to prepare to shoot at units on the ground. The British bravely lowered the height again. There are not many times when they can be in the limelight. Now they want to take advantage of the bad temper of the past few days!

"Damn guy!" However, some forgetful British people did not notice that some vehicles pulled down the canvas covering the back of the carriage, and the dark gun barrels were aimed at the British aircraft fleet that was spreading death wantonly in the low sky. Dozens of them The 20MM machine gun and the 12.7MM machine gun were aimed at these forgetful guys, and then sprayed out a stream of fire snakes that were enough to make them irrecoverable!

A British pilot suddenly felt his fuselage shake violently, and then he saw most of the wing hitting the cockpit. With a scream, the plane was directly hit by the broken wing. for a while. Crash on the ground.

The sudden burst of anti-aircraft fire quickly formed a deadly net of fire at low altitudes. Thousands of bullets and artillery shells flew in the air, harvesting "insects" that accidentally fell into the net. A fire snake composed of 12.7MM bullets swept through the air, smashing a DH7 bomber into pieces like a flaming whip. Another plane was directly hit by four 20MM shells in the cockpit before the pilot could react. , twisting the driver inside into a puddle of mud.

Another British bomber luckily avoided the bullets flying in the sky. However, just as it was about to pull up and escape, a German fighter jet swooped down and easily smashed the opponent into pieces at a distance of less than 400 meters. . Even when the established German fighter jets were switching defenses, there were still elite German hunting crews in this airspace.

Their mission is to freely hunt all Allied air targets.

After six aircraft were killed in a short period of time, the remaining DH7 fighter jets did not dare to stay and quickly evacuated. The German offensive also temporarily came to an end because they knew that it would be difficult to fight in the next tough battle!

"The British assigned additional naval artillery units to the Japanese. Although they were all 6-inch L40 cannons or 4.7-inch cannons removed from old pre-dreadnought ships, and the gun mounts were also temporary bargains, they were cannons after all, and they had a long range. It is farther than our ordinary howitzers and is very powerful. This is very detrimental to our offense."

"In addition, like the British and French, the Japanese army also equipped this force with a considerable number of rapid-fire guns as anti-tank equipment. Our Wolf and Wasp have no problem with frontal defense, but it will not work from the side. And we must also guard against Japanese tanks. In the counter-assault of the troops, although we destroyed nearly 80 various combat vehicles this time, according to the establishment, the Japanese still have more than half of the vehicles unused." Lieutenant General Eric was 5 kilometers away from the front line. Meetings of officers above the battalion level began. An officer began to introduce the enemy's situation.

The armored division's assault and fortification capabilities are very good, but for this capability, the German troops have also paid a lot. For example, this time, the attacking troops did not carry the heavy K09 150MM long-range cannon. This thing is too heavy and takes up too much transport capacity.

Of course, if the German army turns around at this time, it will be no problem. Even if the Japanese army catches up, they will be easily pressed to the ground and rubbed. However, this is obviously a long way from severely damaging the opponent. If you want to completely severely damage or even destroy an army, As for the troops, in addition to the troops that can be mobilized on the front line, they must also carry out a heavy blow to the supporting artillery and logistics units. And this, if we don't break through the defense line, it may be difficult to achieve.

"It doesn't matter. The Japanese long-range howitzers are suppressed by the air force. As for the frontal attack? Let's put it together. Even if we can't put the Japanese division flag in the museum, we can at least make them unable to fight again!" Lieutenant General Eric said.

At the same time, in the Japanese military headquarters outside Thessaloniki, a group of people were discussing something around a huge sand table. A subtropical depression called depression and depression enveloped people's hearts. The battlefield report has just been sent. As expected, the Japanese still suffered heavy losses in this deadly fight. Even though he had been thinking about counterattack for a long time, he was killed by the well-prepared German backhand.

"We concentrated more than twice the strength but were unable to defeat a German armored battalion. This is simply unbearable." Akiyama Yoshiko's slightly low words were full of anger and unwillingness.

"Actually, to be honest, if you consider that the Germans invested in their new tanks, then this battle loss is considered acceptable." A French staff officer whispered to his colleagues next to him. Whether it is an offensive war or a defensive war, the French almost always suffer from the exchange ratio with the Germans on the Western Front, regardless of whether the result is victory or defeat, whether it is offensive or defensive. The proud French believe that since they can't even do it themselves, it is normal for the Japanese to achieve such a result. After all, judging from the battle reports, when the Germans invested in new tanks, the Japanese tanks and tanks suffered 89 battle losses. vehicles, while the German losses seemed to be 25 vehicles? !

Of course, in terms of actual losses, the Japanese suffered much greater losses than on paper, because most of the destroyed German tanks were Crickets, low-end goods. Moreover, the Germans controlled the battlefield, and some damaged tanks could be pulled back for repairs. , the Japanese tanks were lost, that was a real loss.
