Chapter 556 The Battle of the 48th Division (Plus 17)

Ordinary airborne soldiers cannot have heavy weapons, so it is not safe to parachute. Although the Soviets have demonstrated airborne chariots for a long time, they are only light tanks, and they appeared after they came down. Malfunction, unable to start.

Airborne troops, it is good to have light weapons, and even the carrying of ammunition is greatly restricted.

Therefore, in World War II, the most important thing for the airborne troops was to take a glider. The Germans came up with a giant glider. This kind of glider with a load capacity of more than 20 tons can carry a main tank to participate in the war!

The Panther 2 tank is backward in the German army equipment, but from the perspective of the world, it is still an advanced tank, and the 50mm tank gun is enough to destroy all kinds of French tanks in active service.

Fighting Renault FT-17, that's even more of a problem, and, as defenders, they are now taking the initiative to attack!

Yes, just take the initiative!

The tracks of the Black Panther 2 tank crushed the vines, and countless grapes were crushed at this moment. In the front, the momentum of the 48th Division leading the way disappeared instantly.

Panther tank, the German Panther tank!

"God, who can tell me, how did those tanks come out?" Division Commander Bailey, standing on top of a tank behind him, looked at the German attack with his binoculars, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

He was shocked when he saw the tanks, but, as an experienced commander, he reacted immediately.

"Immediately order the tanks on the front line to retreat slowly and introduce the German tanks into our positions!"

He had already keenly observed the Germans' flaws.

The Germans attacked fiercely, however, the Germans made a mistake, behind their tanks, there was no infantry to accompany them!

In this way, a separate tank is launched, which looks very chic, but there is a big problem. Once the tank is surrounded by its own infantry, it is easy for the other side to blow up the opponent's tank by various means!

As a standing division, they have trained the tactics of fighting tanks. Now, it is time to see the red with the bayonet.

Our own tanks, feigning defeat, attracted the Germans.

At the same time, in the rear, the infantry hurriedly bundled six or seven grenades together to form a cluster grenade, enough to blow up the opponent's tank tracks and so on.

The performance of this German tank is quite good. It would be even better if they were captured by their own side! There was hope in Bailey's eyes.

"Boom!" Another shot, a retreating Renault tank was destroyed again.

In the rumbling tank, the driver was excitedly driving his tank. The battle just now was so enjoyable.

"Stop moving forward." At this moment, the commander gave an order.

stop moving forward? The driver pushed the neutral lever, stepped on the brake, and the command to the captain was very strange.

"Back up and prepare to return to our position." The commander continued.

They have advanced a few hundred meters and killed five or six of each other's tanks, and they can't go any further! An experienced tank commander who has participated in the Spanish Civil War, he knows that his side is rushing fiercely now, and if he goes over, he should be beaten by the other side.

There are no infantry to accompany them. After all, there are less than a thousand of them in total this time. Every one of them is precious and cannot be wasted.

As a result, the French soldiers watched as the German tank, which was just a few dozen meters away, actually stopped, and then put on reverse gear and immediately retreated from the battle.

Damn it!

They threw away the cluster grenades in their hands, extremely annoyed, and at the same time, Bailey, the division commander in the rear, also frowned tightly.

He encountered a problem, and the other party was so cunning!

If the other party continues to advance, their own troops can eliminate them, but they did not come, but went back, so they were deadlocked again.

If you continue to send tanks forward, you will be destroyed by the other side. If you don't send troops forward, the two sides will be deadlocked. Delaying time will definitely be beneficial to the Germans.

Of course it doesn't bother him!

Bailey thought for a moment, and continued to give the order: "Send a small number of tanks to constantly lure the opponent out to fight and consume their fuel!"

In this manor, it is impossible to replenish fuel in time. No matter what special means the Germans used, they parachuted down the tank, but they certainly wouldn't carry too much supplies, such as tank fuel.

The German tanks use diesel fuel and cannot be replaced by gasoline in cars. Now, he can only use this method to consume the opponent's strength.

The Germans have tanks, but they are few in number, so as long as he thinks of letting these German tanks lie down, he still has hope.

Just now, his tank also returned fire. Unfortunately, their 37mm tank guns simply cannot penetrate the frontal armor of the German tanks. It may still be possible to hit the side or the back. Now, I want to go around. Not easy.

Under his orders, the Reynolds tank started again.

The petrol engine rumbled, and the small Renault FT-17 tank rushed towards the opposite side without fear.

This time, there are only a few cars, not many.

"No!" Favre-Jolly, who was tied to a tree, made his last voice.

A Renault tank was moving towards his position.

Inside the tank, the line of sight is very poor. In the current tank, there is no periscope. There is only a slit in front of the driver, and only part of the front can be seen clearly.

At this point, the tanker was already in a special state of battle. He knew that rushing up would be death. However, he had to execute orders. As a soldier, it was his duty to obey orders. The engine behind him rumbled. The front, in addition to the vines, is the vines.

The "Boom" Renault tank hit the vine, and the front of the car body turned blood red. Favre-Jolly was no longer a whole, and the driver continued to step on the accelerator. Soon, the grape The tree fell under his tank, and when the tank drove past, there was a dark red bloodstain under the tracks.

The driver didn't even know that he had just killed an innocent civilian, and the cashier of the Bank of France had not survived until sunset, and then, their tanks also ushered in the last moment.

"Boom!" The Renault tank was hit by a flying armor-piercing projectile, followed by a violent explosion.

The battle here is constantly going on, and every moment, there will be fresh life disappearing. It's a brutal war of attrition.
