Chapter 308: Sniper Tank

Hu Yunfeng felt that he was a little greedy, but if he wanted to get more equipment from France, he had to convince Hitler. Moreover, Australia's attractive land area and resources would be difficult to get involved in the future if it lost the best opportunity for World War II. Do you have to be like China in later generations, the most basic resource in iron ore is subject to Western countries?

It can be foreseen that as long as the Soviet Far East is successful, the Soviet port will usher in a rapid development opportunity in World War II, and the resource demand will increase sharply. Therefore, Hu Yunfeng will have to make a move in the resource-rich Australia. In order to stabilize Indonesia, Vietnam and Laos also urgently need weapons and equipment to arm those who immigrated from China. The industrial production scale of the Soviet port will not be met to be strong, and it is impossible to provide too much equipment to the three places for a while.

Hu Yunfeng said: "First of the People's Republic of China, all I do is to think about Germany. Britain has no resources. To defeat Britain, just need to destroy its colonies, and Britain can surrender without fighting. When I gain a foothold in Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos and Australia, I can conquer India, the largest colony in Britain, so that Britain cannot obtain resources from East Asia, and at the same time distracts Britain from cooperating with Germany to force Britain's surrender. But to complete the above plan, I need enough land, sea and air equipment to arm the army, and I do not have enough industrial production capacity. I hope the Head of State can carefully consider the allocation of equipment seized from France."

The suggestions Hu Yunfeng made were not unreasonable, and they were very feasible. Hitler had long considered the issue of cutting off the acquisition of resources from Asia by Britain, France and other countries. In the past, he placed his hopes on Japan, but Japan was trapped in the quagmire of China and could not ease itself. In Nomenkan, he was beaten up by Hu Yunfeng's army and the Soviet army, which made Hitler look down on the Japanese. If it weren't for the Republic of China government, Ado, who could not be helped, Hitler would not have chosen Japan as an ally.

Now that Hu Yunfeng has appeared, Hitler has more choices. After working with Hu Yunfeng for so long, Hitler has no longer regarded Hu Yunfeng as a separate person. Hitler believes that Hu Yunfeng alone is enough to be on par with Japan and a country, and Hu Yunfeng has made a substantial help to Germany, unlike Japan who only wants to rely on Germany.

Hitler walked back and forth quickly with his hands behind his back. Hu Yunfeng's plan moved him. Hitler thought and quickly armed Hu Yunfeng from three Southeast Asian countries. In the future, Southeast Asia will be managed by Hu Yunfeng, and Japan can concentrate on restraining the United States. But the headache for Hitler was that Hu Yunfeng and Japan were mortal enemies. If they fought, Germany would not have the power to restrain the United States and Britain in Asia.

"My friend, I'm very worried about your relationship with Japan." Hitler made the decision, but did not directly reply to Hu Yunfeng.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, I resolve the hatred with Japan after Germany's strategic goals are achieved. I have already had the strength and means to drive Japan out of China, but in order to cooperate with you in completing Germany's strategic goals, you see that my army has been staying in the Soviet port and has not moved. As long as Japan does not provoke the Soviet port, Indonesia, Vietnam and Laos, I promise you that my army will not fight directly with Japan. Moreover, if Japan is interested in other parts of Southeast Asia, I will not compete with Japan. Of course, the premise is that Japan does not print the abacus of Dunesia, Vietnam and Laos." In order to plan for the Soviet Far East, Hu Yunfeng had already planned to send large troops to fight against Japan before Germany showed its defeat. In the future, the biggest enemy of the Soviet port will be the Soviet Union.

"I'm relieved with you, and I'll say it on the Japanese side." Hitler was very satisfied with Hu Yunfeng's reply and said: "All the equipment and air force fighter jets seized by France are given to you, one-third of the naval ships belong to you, and one-half of the army equipment is given to you. What do you think?"

"Thank you, the Head of State." It was much more than Hu Yunfeng expected, so he was of course very happy.

Hitler nodded and said, "But if Britain does not surrender in a short period of time and wait for Indonesia, Vietnam and Laos to stabilize, you not only need to provide resources to Germany, but also occupy Australia as soon as possible to weaken Britain. Of course, these things are things that we have done after we complete the Soviet plan."

"I understand." Hu Yunfeng immediately said goodbye after achieving his goal.

After reaping something beyond imagination, Hu Yunfeng returned to the headquarters of the mercenary in Berlin. Meng Ping, the woman of Song Hui, the head of the mercenary headquarters, immediately reported to Hu Yunfeng that due to the outbreak of the German-French War, the German soldiers of the French Foreign Legion were unwilling to fight with their motherland, Germany, and withdrew from the French Foreign Legion. They came to Berlin and demanded to join the mercenary force of the Dragon.

After listening to Meng Ping's report, Hu Yunfeng asked: "Where are they now? How many people are there?"

"2346 people are trained and reviewed at the training base." Meng Ping replied.

Hu Yunfeng thought for a while and said, "No need to review, do we still have the equipment to arm them?"

"Yes, but only the basic equipment of infantry." Meng Ping nodded and replied.

Hu Yunfeng said: "Send the equipment to them immediately. I will take them to France tomorrow and tell them clearly that they will fight against the French. If they are unwilling to clear them away immediately."

Meng Ping immediately went to make arrangements, and Hu Yunfeng immediately contacted Canaris and asked Canaris to arrange a train to send mercenaries to France tomorrow.

The next day, June 6, also the last day of the UK's implementation of the "engine" plan, Hu Yunfeng rushed to France by train with more than 2,300 German soldiers who had withdrawn from the French foreign legion.

On June 5, the German Command redeployed its troops and began the "Red" offensive campaign, with 140 divisions, including 10 tank divisions and 6 motorized divisions participating, with the purpose of smashing the French armed forces and forcing France to withdraw from the war. Of course, the German Command did not calculate Hu Yunfeng's half-barrel tank troops into it.

On June 8, after two days of uninterrupted driving, Hu Yunfeng brought more than 2,300 newly joined German soldiers to join the mercenaries led by Le Taylor and Song Hui in northern France.

"Song Hui, tell me about your battle situation during this period." Hu Yunfeng ordered the newly brought mercenaries to break up and reorganize them, and asked Song Hui.

"Captain, we didn't fight any battles. We were all following behind Guderian's armored troops to pick up equipment. We were not injured or killed. When we came from Germany, we had 107 Soviet tanks, now we had 159 tanks, 42 tank destroyers, 1,149 other vehicles of various types, 671 horses, and 72 artillery pieces." Song Hui said with a chuckle.

Hu Yunfeng looked at Song Hui for a while. He thought Song Hui was addicted to fighting, but it turned out that he was addicted to picking up equipment. Not bad, the boy made progress. Hu Yunfeng nodded and praised, "Will the German army take action tomorrow?"

Song Hui replied: "Yes, tomorrow night, Guderian's armored troops will force the Aine River in front of us. There is a French armored troops across the river, and we will make a fortune again."

"Godrian's armored troops aim to cut off the French retreat to Switzerland on the Maginot Line. After crossing the river tomorrow, we will separate from his troops and we will go west to Paris." Hu Yunfeng looked at the map and said.

"Yes, I will convey the order to the troops immediately." Song Hui saluted and left.

This is a good opportunity. Now the German army's target is the French armed forces. After discussing the allocation plan for French military equipment with Hitler, the mercenaries did not have to worry about getting equipment and directly threatened Paris to complete the last robbery target of the war.

At 5 pm on June 9, Hu Yunfeng and the mercenaries were ready to go after a day of rest, but they were not going to force cross the Ainai River. Of course, they had to leave the energy-intensive German army to do the work. The mercenaries only waited for Guderian's troops to force over, set up a pontoon bridge, and hired the mercenaries to drive the tanks and cars over.

At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the German air force began to bomb the French positions across the river. After an hour and a half of fire preparation, Guderian's troops began to attack. Hu Yunfeng also came to the battlefield to watch the German attack.

The successive failures of the French army and the fierce bombing on the ground in the sky made the soldiers feel depressed. Guderian's troops crossed the Aine River in just forty minutes.

In Guderian's eyes, Hu Yunfeng's mercenary airborne combat was first-class, but the mercenary with more than 100 tanks was a waste of gasoline. During this period, except for following his troops to pick up the equipment discarded by the French army, he had never fought a battle. However, Guderian was also willing to let this mobile army follow his troops. His armored troops attacked too fast and had no time to capture prisoners. Hu Yunfeng's mobile army just took on the role of captives.

The mercenaries who captured the captive role certainly did not have the right to cross the river first. Hu Yunfeng waited until after twelve o'clock in the evening, Guderian's armored troops crossed the Aine River, and his troops began to cross the river. Fortunately, his troops had only more than 10,000 people, and it took three hours to cross the river.

Looking at the departure of Guderi, installing the A-powered troops, Hu Yunfeng ordered: "Song Hui, send a search force, the whole army goes west, let's go to Paris."

Paris was declared an unguarded city by the newly-employed French Pelton government on the 13th, so the mercenaries did not move fast and were very careful.

At 9:00 a.m. on June 10, Hu Yunfeng finally heard from the radio that Italy took advantage of the situation and declared war on France and Britain. The arrival of this news will stimulate the surrender of the French Betan government, and Hu Yunfeng liked it very much. He ordered the troops to speed up.

However, the bad news immediately followed. The search troops found about a division of French troops twenty kilometers away in front of them. What's even more dangerous is that the French army also had a tank regiment. This is news that the mercenary armored troops who only know how to drive tanks cannot be broken. If the French army had no tank troops, Hu Yunfeng could drive tanks to scare the French army. Now when encountering the French tank troops, although the mercenary tanks have an absolute advantage, if they really fight, the tanks that the mercenary finally got were probably wiped out by the French tank troops.

This French army blocked the mercenaries' way to rob Paris, which annoyed Hu Yunfeng. He immediately ordered: "Cars and horses stop moving forward, organize defensive positions on the spot, and tanks move slowly. Lieutenant Colonel Simon Haye, Gao Ning brings the sniper to me. Lin Xingguo gathers all the tanks and rockets of the "Iron Fist". Qi Yanming immediately sets up artillery positions."

Since the tank battle was not good, Hu Yunfeng immediately decided to use "Iron Fist" and sniper rifles to destroy French tanks. The sniper rifles were all imitated with later m82a1, 12.7mm caliber bullets, and this large-caliber anti-equipment sniper rifle came in handy.

The mercenaries who received the order quickly moved forward, and soon, the seemingly ferocious mercenaries slowly advanced, while Hu Yunfeng quickly approached the French position with his sniper and the "Iron Fist" anti-tank team.

Hu Yunfeng came to a kilometer in front of the French position and ordered the sniper to find a position. He began to observe the French position. The French army obviously only wanted to defend, and the tanks were all in the position and did not attack. Now Hu Yunfeng had two choices, one was to attract French tanks, and the other was to attack at night.

Hu Yunfeng thought about it and decided to attract French tanks first and try the French defensive determination. After the snipers were deployed, he ordered Qi Yanming to move the cannon forward and let a company of tanks attack and test the attack first.

"Captain, the cannon is ready." Qi Yanming reported through the walkie-talkie.

"Very good, bombard me, don't care about shells." Hu Yunfeng ordered.

Dozens of cannons instantly rushed towards the French position. Hu Yunfeng saw the landing point of the shells and sighed. There were not many mercenaries, and the shells were only less than thirty of them. The shells fired by more than 40 guns either landed at the forefront of the French position or flew behind without a trace. The seemingly ferocious artillery fire probably did not kill a few French soldiers.

"Check Qi Yanming again." After five or six minutes, Hu Yunfeng said to Jibu Chuhe, who was carrying a walkie-talkie on his back.

"Qi Yanming, leave professional artillery to continue bombing. The other artillery will be transferred immediately. Go and ask if the new mercenary soldiers have worked for artillery." Hu Yunfeng ordered.

Qi Yanming was also very helpless. He had seized a lot of technical equipment, but lacked the professional and technical soldiers to use. He immediately ordered the random shooting of artillery and immediately transferred the position. He also notified Song Hui to find professional artillery among the new mercenary soldiers.

The cannons that Song Hui picked up behind Guderian were all large-caliber artillery, and Song Hui, who had small-caliber, wouldn't even take a look. Otherwise, how could the mercenaries have so many cars and horses?

It was scary enough to have nearly thirty artillery bombarded together. Seeing that the French artillery did not fight back after more than an hour of bombardment, Hu Yunfeng ordered a company of tanks to test the attack first. Of course, he also added orders, and French tanks attacked or French artillery bombarded and fled back immediately.

The reason why the French army has not fired artillery is that they do not want to expose their artillery positions. The French army has learned that their enemy is a tank armored unit, with nearly 200 various tanks and armored vehicles. The French army has only one tank regiment, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number. The German tank armored units are terrifying for a month. Now, they are at a disadvantage and just want to use artillery fire to cooperate with tanks to eliminate as many of the "German" tank armored vehicles as possible.

More than a dozen tanks hired by mercenaries also made the French army on their own randomly ignited, which confused the French army on the other side. This "German" unit was not like other ferocious German tank armored units. The tanks were not German tanks, but Soviet tanks. The French army had never heard of the Soviet Union attacking France with Germany. Moreover, this "German" tank soldier seemed to not even use the basic tactics of the tanks, but was just wasting shells and firing randomly.

The mercenaries only sent more than a dozen tanks, but the French army was still unwilling to expose the artillery positions, so they also sent a company of tanks to attack and fight. When the French tanks opened their positions, the mercenary tanks suddenly turned around and fled at full speed. Moreover, the twisted escape route and the black smoke from the diesel engines released at the tail of the tank made the French tank gunner unable to aim. The French tank company that attacked fired guns, but like the mercenary tanks, wasted shells.

"Chasing." The commander in the tank command vehicle that the French army attacked was so angry that his nose was almost crooked, and he ordered the driver.

The artillery commanded by Qi Yanming also cooperated to attract French tanks, but did not fire artillery to stop the French tanks from pursuing them.

French tanks were getting closer and closer, and snipers such as Simon Haye and Gaoning were ambushed around the battlefield were almost a few people. French tanks were targeted. Some of them aimed at French tank fuel tanks, some aimed at tank scopes, and some aimed at tank engines, ready to shoot at any time.

Simon Haye calculated the ballistics based on his experience, and Gao Ning used Hu Yunfeng's sniper knowledge to calculate the ballistics. When the French tanks were more than 700 meters away from them, they fired almost at the same time.

Both of them aimed at the fuel tanks of French tanks, and 12.7mm bullets also hit the target at the same time, breaking through the fuel tanks of two French tanks. Suddenly, the two French tanks immediately caught fire. French tanks stopped to shoot from time to time while chasing, and the sound of cannons of the tanks covered the sound of sniper rifle shooting. The other French tank personnel had not yet figured out that the two tanks would suddenly catch fire at the same time, but their tanks were soon subjected to the same fate.

When the snipers saw two French tanks suddenly caught fire, they understood that their sniper captain and deputy captain fired, and they immediately followed suit. After a rain of sniper rifles, the tanks of a French company either caught fire or were knocked down and could not move.

At this time, the commander of the French tank company realized that they were attacked by the German "new" anti-tank weapons from a long distance. However, he saw a more miserable scene. The tank soldiers crawled out of the fired tank just stretched out their heads and immediately lost half of their heads. At this time, he also heard the huge gunshots hundreds of meters away. The sniper, he immediately thought of it.

The commander of the French Tank Company did not hesitate much. Now even if he escaped from the tank, he was a few hundred meters away from the French position. He could not escape back to the French position except being killed. The commander of the French Tank Company immediately took off his shirt and held it with a wrench to reach out to the command car, indicating that he surrendered.
