The Rise of the Empire

The Crickets on the flanks have to worry about the opponent's 75MM rapid-fire cannon when dealing with those FT10s, but the Wasps on the front don't have to be so afraid, especially the tanks on the front line called the Heavy Armored Wasps. These are at the front. A tank with additional track pads and road wheels on its armor can definitely be called a tough and tough tank. It is even said that if it were not for the fact that the terrain of the breakthrough area is too flat, this type of tank would never appear on the battlefield. Because the extra weight will affect the tank's suspension system. Excessive armor on the front will also affect stability. In this case, it will be very difficult to cross a relatively wide trench.

In fact, when the French defense line was just breached, the fundamental reason why these bulky steel behemoths were able to pass was because of the help of engineers' bridge-building tanks. A special steel-wood hybrid structural component was paved on the wide trench. The roads allow these tanks to rush forward smoothly!

But now, these heavy armors are finally worth the money. They let the proud French heavy cavalry know what hardness means! What is indestructible!

With a bang, the vehicle body shook again, and with a bang, Wenke's head wearing a leather helmet hit the inner wall of the tank heavily. He couldn't remember how many times this happened today, and he couldn't even remember how many times this happened within half an hour. The shells of the 75MM rapid-fire cannon hit the heavy-armored Wasp which was located somewhat forward again and again.

Countless shells flew over, some hit the gun mantlet, some were nailed to the upper armor, some fell to the ground, and then miraculously hit the lower armor belt, and there were even two shells. It hit the road wheel. Thanks to St. Michael the Archangel, it hit one side. Otherwise, my car would not be able to move.

The shell hit the steel plate and fragments flew everywhere, sparks flew everywhere, and the track pads forged from manganese steel shattered and fell off under repeated attacks, but the remaining parts still successfully completed their mission, blocking the main armor behind. In this attack, even an armor-piercing shell fired by a French tank from 200 meters away failed to penetrate Wenck's tank. The shell hit a position between a suspended road wheel and the track, and was then smashed into pieces.

Many wasps in the first cluster became the focus of the French's concentrated shooting. They successfully served as MT's rivals. Although some were eventually destroyed and some temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, they still bought time for the teammates behind them. The Wasps coming up from the back row used 75MM artillery to continuously kill any French tank that appeared in the field of view. Every time these hunters armed with long-barreled shotguns took action, they were dripping with blood. Round after round of 75MM armor-piercing bullets successfully penetrated the fragile front armor of the FT10, beating the arrogant French heavy cavalry to pieces.

"The situation is getting worse. The assault force of the Second Armored Battalion is constantly being depleted, but the opponent's numbers are increasing. In front of us, at least four armored battalions have invested all or one after another of their own forces, more than 200 vehicles of various types. The tank also has an unknown number of truck guns and towed artillery. We are actually surrounded by enemies on three sides, and we don't even have enough ammunition." An officer reported to the front-line commander Baron Schmidt.

"Let the 1st Armored Battalion go up. The 2nd Armored Battalion will temporarily switch to defense. I will contact your Highness the Prince and add a company to the 2nd Armored Battalion." The pace of the attack must not stop. This stab in the middle is still If it is not deep enough, it is not deep enough for the large army behind to spread out, and the French armored forces have not shed much blood, then they must continue to move forward. If the purpose of the battle is not achieved, then work hard to do it! Until one of them can no longer hold on and falls!

"More than half of the 3rd Armored Battalion has been lost.

The 4th Armored Battalion has suffered more than one-third battle losses, and the 5th Armored Battalion has been unable to be contacted so far, but the opponent is still advancing! Judging from the intelligence coming from aerial reconnaissance, we are definitely at a disadvantage in terms of exchange ratio. The maximum number of enemies we can face face to face is no more than 2 armored battalions, and we have already boarded at least nearly a hundred tanks! "At the French headquarters in Reims, Pétain reported to Joffre the intelligence sent half an hour ago. The losses in the battle report were shocking!

How long has this been going on? In just 80 minutes, France actually lost three digits of armored units. The last battle to attack the German defense line failed, and they only lost about 240 tanks in 3 days. But at the current rate, Bayern I doubt how much Lu Fu will have left at the end of the day!

"It's just three armored battalions that were damaged in battle. It doesn't matter. Rufu has ten in his hands and two self-propelled anti-tank gun battalions. The opposite side is just a country. If we can't even stop it, then this war will be There is no need to fight." Xiafei said while rubbing his numb temples.

"We can do this, retreat a little further, establish a solid line of defense, and then launch a counterattack." Pétain thought for a while and said.

"Then the opponent must stop first. Establishing a defense line is not an easy task. It cannot be solved by placing a few anti-tank guns. Now there is a steady stream of German troops pouring into the breakthrough every minute and every second. Once they If the infantry follows the tanks to attack, it will be a tidal wave attack. In fact, on the center line, except for the armored troops, our infantry and artillery have no advantage. By then, we may not even be able to defend Reims, so The breach must be compressed, and the key to compressing the breach is to repel the opponent's armored forces.\

,""Give Lu Fu all the troops that can rush to the battlefield quickly, and do this!" Xiafei said.

The Second Armored Battalion finally stopped after losing more than 20 various tanks and built a temporary defensive position in a relatively narrow area. Some tanks with serious ammunition consumption began to retreat to replenish ammunition. The remaining guards were on guard, and in front of them, two more armored battalions joined the front-line French armored forces in preparation for a counterattack. The heavy armor composed of 60 FT10 tanks pointed at the enemy in the distance!

"Three semi-armored battalions and a self-propelled anti-tank gun battalion, and two armored battalions on the flanks to cooperate! There is no reason to lose this time!" Lu Fu, who was on the front line in person, wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, in fact, the battlefield The situation was far more shocking than what he reported to the headquarters before. It was not that the Fifth Armored Battalion could not be contacted, but it was probably destroyed. This battalion was the first to enter the battlefield, and now, not a single company-level commander has been found. Look at the following. There are two battalions. You can know the situation of this battalion with your knees!
