"When the artillery fire became more sparse, we launched an attack. On the front line of less than 50 kilometers, we concentrated 35 infantry divisions to launch the first wave of attacks. When the attack order was launched, more than 30 storm assault battle groups launched an attack under the cover of Xu Jin's barrage. Hundreds of Hufeng-type assault guns and rhino self-propelled artillery lined up into loose front lines, and next to them were a large number of half-track vehicles. Less than 200 meters to the opponent's position, the infantry began to get off the car from the cabin door at the back of the half-track vehicle. We held submachine guns and grenades rushed towards the French trench under the cover of machine guns and artillery." - "Assault Diary"

The expected fierce battle did not happen. The German tracks and combat boots easily ran through the outermost cordon and the first line of defense, which had been bombed several times by shells. In addition to the sporadic gunfire that there might be remaining opponents on the other side, the rest gave the elite German infantry a feeling of being marched. Of course, if the road was better, it would be more like it. The bad terrain caused more trouble to the German army than the French army! In this way, the Germans crossed the second and third lines of defense, and then they paused for a moment, waiting for the comrades behind to follow!

When the German army penetrated to the French position 3500 to 4500 meters, a real confrontation broke out between the two sides. At this distance, the French army avoided the German dense mortar fire. At the same time, the heavy howitzers began to calibrate the attack distance to a longer position. This was an area that was not covered by the focus, and more French troops survived. Therefore, the sharp guns of the German army collided with the French defense line for the first time!

At a distance of 500 meters, the Frenchman's 75mm rapid-fire cannon fired first, followed by a large number of Hachkas machine guns and Shaosha machine guns. The dense bullets hit the thick frontal armor of the Hufeng assault gun. A series of sparks splashed everywhere. The chariot at the forefront quickly stopped and then aimed the 75mm rapid-fire cannon at the bunker in the distance! Accompanied by orange flames, smoke columns were fired from the French positions in the distance.

A large number of machine gun nests are like paper in front of 75mm shells, while a small amount of reinforced bunkers are handed over to the rhino self-propelled cannons behind. This kind of chariot with semi-open combat chambers and armor on the front and side can only defend against large-caliber machine guns and shrapnel is not suitable for charging on the front line, but he has a huge advantage that allows him to have a place in the Storm Commando. A powerful 105mm or 107mm cannon is enough to smash most of the bunkers that they encounter. If one shot cannot be penetrated, then hit a few more. At a distance of 800 to 1,000 meters, the rhino self-propelled cannon has become the most reliable bunker can opener!

Faced with this first line of defense worth fighting, the German commando set off, from the machine gun at the front, the assault guns at the middle, and the heavy howitzers at the rear. While the dense shells were cleaning the French positions over and over again, teams of German soldiers rushed into the trench along the gap torn by fire, and quickly harvested the opponent's lives with the submachine guns in their hands!

On the ground, dense machine gun fire and grenades drove the French into the trench and support points. The commando soldiers entering the trench used submachine guns and grenades to clear the French soldiers isolated in the trench. With the continuous jumping muzzles and orange bullet shells flying out of the shell port, another team of French soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The Germans jumped over the corpse and continued to advance along the trench.

The French thought of counterattacking. They bypassed the front and launched a counterattack under the cover of the side-side and reverse attack positions. In the absence of artillery, they tried to use grenades or explosive packs to destroy the powerful steel monsters from the side. However, the half-tracked carriages deployed on the side of the position, the 20mm machine guns and the large-caliber machine guns on them easily crushed the opponent's counterattack. The jumping lines of fire intertwined into a large airtight net, and the French were instantly smashed like a moth to throw a fire. Therefore, these half-tracked cars carrying large-caliber machine guns and machine guns obtained a nickname - armored companion, or knight entourage.

After losing sporadic armored vehicles, the German Army successfully crossed this line of defense. In their opinion, although the French resistance was brave, it was generally very ordinary. The scene of the death battle and repeated fighting in the trench did not appear. As time passed, when the last French Army gave up the weapons in its hand, the position eventually changed hands.

[31 Novel Network] "The French counterattack was very weak. I completed today's advancement plan in just 6 hours, about 12 kilometers! We can continue to move forward, and before night comes, we can advance about 4 kilometers." An officer said to Rommel, who has become a colonel.

"Contact with other troops and let us unify our steps and not leave any gaps on the front line. We are about to win, and there is no difference between early and late." Rommel said.

"But Mr. Colonel, this is different from your style. Haven't you always emphasized speed and continuous oppression before?" the officer said with some surprise.

"The situation is different now. We emphasize speed to make the opponent have no time to organize defense. Now, our artillery is constantly bombarding the opponent's transportation network, and our air force allows all enemies who dare to be exposed to escape. It is already very difficult to mobilize their troops, and we have won. At this time, I just hope to reduce some sacrifices and allow more soldiers to return home with the joy of victory. Now, we just need to fight steadily and ensure that we don't have any problems." Rommel said very easily.

This is indeed the case now. When the German army used heavy artillery and air force that had overwhelmingly superior to destroy and suppress the French artillery group, the French positions had indeed been cut and broken. The German army's uninterrupted artillery bombardment and the suppression of aviation power in the sky during the sky made all the French reinforcements very weak.

You should know that this time the Germans attacked not a complex defense system built in history like Verdun, or a region with extremely large terrain additions such as mountains. This is plain and low hills. The so-called fortifications were also dug out by the French. The strength was limited. Although it was the first day of war, the remaining battles in the front line area had almost been finalized, that is, the Germans cleared the positions step by step until the Germans passed through the French positions and surpassed the support of most German heavy artillery!
