I was a tycoon in World War I: Starting to save France

When the British saw a large area of ​​German tanks appearing in front of them, they had already lost their fighting spirit.

They habitually thought that the Germans would defend in the trenches as before, using barbed wire and anti-tank trenches to stop their tanks from advancing, and using machine gun bullets and shells of various caliber to pull up barrage to block their charge.

Although he was alive, British soldiers believed that they could rush into the trenches in the end.

Because they had the cover of tanks, there were still a large number of them. More than 70 vehicles were dispatched at one time and rushed towards the enemy in a mighty manner.

This is Monty's tactic, which he calls "Shield Array Tactics."

The name is taken from the ancient Roman shield formation.

Therefore, the name suggests that "Shield Array Tactics" means that once the tank in the front is destroyed by the Germans or withdraws from the battle due to failure, the tank in the rear will immediately speed up and replenish the gap and continue to advance.

However, the battle simply did not develop as they thought.

The British soldiers exclaimed:

"Fuck it, the Germans actually sent a tank to counterattack!"

"And there are more tanks than us, and there are more tanks than us."

"What should we do?"

...

The soldiers turned their eyes to the brigade commander Captain Monty.

Captain Monty hurriedly raised his telescope and looked at the enemy's situation, and ordered: "Don't worry, their tanks are our imitations, we can defeat them!"

As he said that, he raised his revolver and fired two shots into the sky, shouting, "Go forward, warriors, kill them all!"

"Kill!" British soldiers shouted and rushed towards the German tank.

They grabbed the tank at a speed of 100 meters and rushed towards the enemy, because they were trained to charge with all their strength once they launched a charge.

As a result, some people fell on the bumpy snow and were crushed under the tracks by the tanks that followed.

They didn't understand until they died. Didn't the tank know that they were ahead?

The tank soldiers in the tank were also puzzled.

The shooter had raised his machine gun and aimed at the enemy, but suddenly his own backs were everywhere in front of him... The British soldiers who grabbed the front blocked the machine gunner's shooting angle.

Many British soldiers blocked the driver's observation window.

The tank soldiers shouted anxiously inside the tank: "Go aside, you idiots!"

But no one heard them.

Compared with the chaos and even the killing of each other in the British army, the German army was advancing in an orderly manner.

The German tanks also consciously found a piece of flat ground and stopped, tweaking their muzzles to aim at the target.

At the same time, the infantry in the rear leaned out in groups and shot at the charge of British soldiers.

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

...

The British soldiers fell one by one, falling in front of and behind the tanks in various strange postures.

It's okay that he was already dead, but soon after he was crushed by his tank, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere and screamed everywhere.

"Boom!" The German tanks opened fire.

The main weapon of the "LK2" tank is the Krupp 37MM short-barrel gun. Although it is not a special anti-tank gun, it is not very capable of piercing the armor, but it is not a waste of time to penetrate the "Whitebud" 12MM armor. Power.

British tanks stopped slowly with blue smoke. When they were hit by the engine, they ignited a fire with the explosion. The air was instantly filled with black smoke and burnt smell.

(Note: The "Whippet" tank is equipped with four machine guns without artillery, and there will be no shell explosion.)

The British tanks in the rear followed closely according to the "Shield Array Tactics", but were beaten into a pile of scrap iron.

Soon, enemy and our tanks were crowded in front of the formation.

The British soldiers who charged could only charge towards the German army through the gap between tanks, and the original complete offensive was cut into thin streams.

What stood in front of them was the steel defense line composed of the black muzzle of the German army and the tanks.

Many British soldiers failed to pull the trigger until their deaths.

Because what is blocking one's own people in front of you is your own people's backs everywhere in front of you.

Suddenly the person in front fell down, and the German muzzle suddenly appeared in front of him. Before he could react, he saw only fires coming out of the muzzle, and then he lost his strength and fell into a pool of blood.

Monty, who was commanding the battle, realized that the attack had failed and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Retreat, retreat all!"

However, the German tanks started to move again.

They rolled the bodies of British soldiers through the wreckage of the "Whitebull" with the terrifying sound of steel collisions, and rushed into the British infantry group like wolves into the flock of sheep.

Each German tank followed by an infantry platoon of dozens of soldiers.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

There were not many people, but they knew how to cooperate with the tank. They knew where the tank's observation window was, and they also knew to smash the tank's armor with a stock to guide the tank forward with sound.

British soldiers fell in front of the positions in large numbers, and the orderly retreat turned into a defeat, and everyone was fleeing in panic, and even the commander Captain Monty had to join in.

Captain Monty escaped back to the trench under the protection of the guards.

He gasped heavily, feeling depressed, and the attack that had been planned for several days ended in a bleak end, and he suffered such huge casualties.

Damn, how should I report to General Heg?

However, the soldiers' shouts made him realize that the war was not over.

"Captain!" the guard reported, in a panic tone: "The Germans did not stop, they were attacking our defense!"

Monty looked back and saw that the German tanks were still moving towards the defense line, but they were replaced by larger medium tanks and walked in front.

"Organize defense!" Captain Monty shouted in a hoarse voice, with a blank and fear in his eyes: "Stop them!"

However, all the British soldiers were confused without exception.

Some of them lay on the trenches and raised their rifles, some looked at Monty foolishly, and more people stared at the slowly approaching tank in front of them with horror.

How can we block these tanks?

Using the rifle in your hand? Or bayonet?

Suddenly, not knowing who started the beginning, the British soldiers began another retreat.

The dark crowd threw down the defense line like a tide and ran down the defense line. No matter how Monty shouted, it would be useless.

...

At the British Expeditionary Force General Command, Hagie poured a glass of French wine, and he planned to enjoy a moment of peace before hearing the news of victory.

There are 70 tanks, three infantry divisions, and a total force of more than 60,000 people.

Although there will be some casualties, it is not a problem to take the line of defense in front of you.

As for casualties, it is just an additional recruitment order in the country.

However, after only half a glass of wine, a guard ran to him in anger and reported: "General, I think you'd better evacuate."

"What?" Heg looked at the guard in confusion.

"The Germans are counterattacking!" the guard replied, "They will fight here soon!"
