Outside the town, the 75mm field artillery deployed on the battlefield was violently bombarding the town in front of them. Inside and outside the town, many dead officers and soldiers from both sides fell to the ground, silently announcing the cruelty of the battle.
The violent explosion caused several puffs of smoke to rise in the town, and the buildings hit by the shelling were also blown to the point of collapse.
I saw several soldiers quickly fleeing a house that had begun to shake. Before they could run far, the already overwhelmed house collapsed. The smoke and dust in the sky made these soldiers very embarrassed, but luckily there was no one there.
Being injured is a huge blessing.
In one of the strongest houses in the town, Captain Martin Lehmann breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the losses caused by the shelling. Fortunately, the enemy only had 75mm field guns, which were not powerful enough to destroy everything. Or to put it another way, it was small.
The residents of the town are relatively wealthy and have built relatively solid houses.
At this moment, another officer's words came to his ears. "The enemy's bombardment is about to end. Captain Martin Lehmann asked the soldiers to prepare for battle."
After hearing the order, Captain Martin Lyman could only salute helplessly and replied. "Yes, Major Barber."
As if he didn't hear Martin Lyman's resentment, Major Barber turned to look at him and asked, "Captain, do you want the enemy to snipe me away?"
This sentence immediately made Martin Lehmann quickly put down his saluting hand. Although he hated the guy in front of him and wished that a bullet flying from a distance would hit him. But he was absolutely unwilling to fall into it himself. He was absolutely unwilling.
Well, Martin Lehmann admitted that Major Gbagbo was his mortal enemy. Some people are like this. No matter how you look at him, you don't like him. And they both happened to be like this, so they had a bad relationship in the army.
After Martin Lehmann reported the enemy's intelligence, he immediately received the order to stay here and wait for reinforcements. In the previous Polish attack, he suffered relatively serious losses. He lost more than ten combat vehicles in his hand.
There were four of them. Of course, if it weren't for the existence of these combat vehicles, they would have been overwhelmed by a wave of Polish troops.
Just when he was in a bitter battle, a battalion of reinforcements joined in, giving him a chance to survive. However, when he saw that the leader was his mortal enemy, Martin Lehmann completed a complex psychological process that turned from sadness to joy, and from joy to sadness again.
And Major Barber lived up to his expectations. When he came, he took over everything with his military rank, directly commanded him to fight without discussing with him, and completely used him as a senior messenger. This made Martin Lehmann really don't know who he was.
What should I say?
"I'll go down below to direct the battle. I'm afraid the soldiers may not be able to bear the next attack."
Martin Lehmann left here after saying that. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he might have a heart problem.
Facing the departure of Martin Lehmann, Major Barber showed a hint of sarcasm. He couldn't stand it and it was hard to achieve success.
Before Martin Lehmann could go far, the bombardment stopped. More than a dozen 7TP and TPL tanks and nearly a thousand cavalry brigade officers and soldiers appeared in front of the town with weapons in hand.
It seemed that the Polish army wanted to launch a large-scale attack this time. Knowing this, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division naturally did not dare to neglect. Before they could get closer, the machine guns opened fire on the order of the sergeant.
"Da da da da..."
The G42 machine gun in the hands of the defenders pulled the trigger, and the muzzle burst into flames, throwing ammunition at the enemy.
Yes, this G42 is also the product of someone's influence. After borrowing from Dingding Daiming's divine machine gun, he even copied the name.
This machine gun, with its simple maintenance and powerful firepower, received unanimous praise once it was equipped with troops, and quickly became a reliable guarantee for officers and soldiers. In addition to the need to carry more ammunition, in other aspects it completely surpassed the machine guns in various countries today.
Under the fierce firepower of G42, the attacking Polish soldiers obviously paused, and became frightened by the sound of tearing cloth.
And the officer leading the team obviously knew this, and he shouted loudly, "Covering fire."
Several mortars made a roaring sound, and the explosion point fell near the machine gun position. Knowing that he was in critical condition, the machine gunner immediately stopped shooting, and with his thick-gloved hands, he even picked up the machine gun and ran away. Here
We can't stay any longer and must move our position.
After the machine guns in the position were suppressed, the soldiers of the cavalry brigade immediately accelerated their pace. The tanks also kept firing, shelling locations where the defenders might be hiding.
Facing the fierce offensive of the Polish army, the soldiers stationed on the ground naturally gave the maximum counterattack. With the G33 semi-automatic rifle in their hands, they kept firing at the Polish soldiers rushing towards them. Although the G33 semi-automatic rifle has a low reputation, in actual combat it is
It was particularly easy to use. The metal storm composed of G33 semi-automatic rifles was even more deadly. Many Polish soldiers fell into a pool of blood for no apparent reason.
Regarding the tanks of the Polish army, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division are more confident. Who are they? They are armored divisions. How can they lack anti-armor strength? There are only a few R231 wheeled armored vehicles and R10 tanks, including one.
The R20 tanks popped up to face the attacking Polish 7TP and TPL tanks, delivering a barrage of firepower. These thin-skinned tanks were no match for the defending tanks, and they were named and paralyzed on the battlefield.
Especially the R20 tank, which is like a god descending from the earth. It is completely unafraid of the enemy's anti-tank firepower. Countless 37mm anti-tank shells fell on it, just like tickling it. And its 75mm main gun is even more...
Whoever is hit will die, but because the main gun is too powerful, its main target falls on the TPL tank adapted from the Jackal.
This sight made the Polish commander who was observing the battle jump to his feet. This R20 was definitely brought by the reinforcements. There was no such tank before. All of his anti-tank methods had no effect on it. The biggest weapon in his hand was
The 47mm tank gun on the TPL tank is also useless against it.
Now the only thing he relies on is to attack the infantry and use the anti-tank grenades in his hands to attack him. However, the casualties will be very high, but he can't control that much now. Because intelligence shows that there is an armored force behind him.
Come on, if you can't cripple it, you won't be able to retreat at all.
In fact, it was too late for him to receive this news. It would be great if he received it before the battle started, so that he could evacuate calmly. But now that the other party has arrived with reinforcements, if he wants to evacuate, he has to ask the other party if he agrees. And now he
We can only use the superiority of troops to deal with the opponent. Although this will cause huge casualties, we can't care about it.
I saw the Polish army approaching the position quickly despite their casualties. At this time, the defenders immediately packed up their equipment and retreated into the town.
That's right, facing the Polish army's superior strength, the defenders had little choice but to use buildings to further divide the enemy, inflict a large number of casualties, and wait until the enemy suffered insufficient casualties before retreating.
Yes, this is the defender's tactics, and it's still so negative.
However, this is also a helpless method. The total number of defenders is only more than 400, while the Polish army outside has at least 6,000 or 7,000 troops. With a strength advantage of up to 17 to 1, this method can only be used.
After the Romanian defenders retreated to the town, another group of Polish soldiers came up, again numbering nearly a thousand people. Seeing that this time the Polish commander did not intend to give the defenders a chance to repel him.
