Hearing Major Schumacher's report, Chen Dao was excited and hurriedly picked up his telescope to look north. Through the dark light, he saw a group of tanks coming from afar.

The French tanks in front belong to the French 343 Independent Tank Company. Compared with the 342 Independent Tank Company that had just been eliminated, their base was farther away. Moreover, the maximum road speed of the FT-17 tanks equipped by the company was only a pitiful 16 kilometers per hour, so they arrived late after the 342 Independent Tank Company was eliminated.

"Dangdang" Chen Dao's engineer shovel knocked three more times on the top of the cab, and Bandit No. 1 stopped.

Captain Lorentz focused on aiming, silently reciting in his heart, I can hit, I can hit, and then waved his left hand.

Seeing this, Sergeant Beethoven stuffed the armor-piercing bullet in his arms into the barrel and immediately opened fire.

After a loud bang, Chen Dao and Captain Lorentz cheered at the same time. They both saw black smoke coming out of the FT-17 tank, and then a fire ignited...

Compared with the H-35 tank, the performance of the FT-17 tank was even worse. The first round of volleys of the Battlefield Investigation Corps killed 11 FT17 tanks. The remaining 8 vehicles wanted to escape when they saw the situation was not good, but they could not run away, and the shells that were flying in the air turned into scrap iron after the second round of volleys of the German tank company.

After the second brief tank battle ended, Chen Dao saw more and more armed SS infantry running past and rushing into the French position, he informed Major Schumacher to stop advancing as originally planned and instead support the infantry to attack the French positions on the left and right wings to expand the breakthrough.

Chen Dao looked back at the back of the car. A group of black armed SS infantry were running towards him. They were reinforcements sent by Lieutenant Colonel Kepler, the head of state regiment.

Chen Dao looked to the right again. On the bandit No. 2 about fifteen meters away, Captain Bach was commanding two machine gunners to use the MG-34 machine gun on the front of the vehicle to strafuse the French positions in front.

There is no suspense about the battle here. Chen Dao looked at the direction of the coast from afar. He wondered how the battle was going there?

On the front line about eight kilometers long to the west of the coast and east of Lake Flandersen, the German army launched a full-line attack. Two of them were key breakthrough areas, one was the war zone where the battlefield investigation team led by Chen Dao was located, and the other was the war zone near the coast, the first battalion of the German Regiment.

After the attack order was issued, the first and second battalions of the German Regiment sent one company of infantry to launch an attack. About two hundred meters behind them, all four companies of the third battalion of the German Regiment attacked and rushed towards the position of the opposite French Seventh Infantry Regiment.

As the main attacking force, Captain Hubei (played by Qin Bing and Han Zhe) was strengthened by four No. 4 assault guns.

Captain Hubei, with two messengers, bent down and hid behind a No. 4 assault gun, slowly approached the French position.

Captain Hubei occasionally poked his head out from behind the No. 4 assault gun to observe the movements of the former Pharmaceutical Army positions, but only saw countless rising fires and white smoke. The French position opposite was still under bombardment by German naval guns.

Under such brutal artillery fire, there should be few people on the French position opposite, right? Captain Hubei guessed.

Captain Hubei looked around and saw that except for a few subordinates hiding behind the No. 4 assault gun, most of the subordinates faithfully carried out his orders. The distance between people and the various combat teams was very wide, almost more than ten meters. This distance should not be very casualties when facing the enemy's dense firepower.

The distance from the French position was getting closer and closer. Captain Hubei gave the order and two red signal flares flew into the sky. After a moment, the German naval guns stopped firing, and the French position on the opposite side became quiet.

"Doudu, dumb..." Captain Hubei blew two short and one long whistle. When he heard the whistle, the infantry of the company accelerated the charge.

Captain Hubei underestimated the resilience and courage of the French army opposite. After confirming that the German artillery was stopped, the surviving French army, led by officers and non-commissioned officers, left the bunker, rebuilt light and heavy machine guns, mortars and infantry artillery, and waited for the German army to come to their door.

Behind the French position, Colonel Fernan, the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment, sent a company to enter the frontier position through the traffic trench to supplement the losses of the frontier position in the shelling.

"Swoosh, swosh" Captain Hubei clearly heard the whistling sound of the French army, and the French army's thunder fell one after another, followed by the shells of the 75mm infantry cannon.

The German infantry fell in an instant. They were not hit, but were instinctively lying down to avoid shells.

Captain Hubei was very pleased to see the keen reaction of his subordinates. After participating in the Battle of Poland, they responded much faster in the face of the crisis.

After overtaking the French shells and paying more than a dozen casualties, the infantry of a company steadily approached the French positions. Until one hundred and fifty meters, a row of steel helmets suddenly appeared on the empty French position, and countless muzzles flashing with cold light appeared together with the steel helmets.

"Dadada" machine gunners' hands were the first to spit out flames, and the "Table..." chaotic rifle shooting sounds followed one after another.

Faced with the sudden appearance of dense firepower, no order was required, the armed SS infantrymen fell to the ground one after another to avoid French bullets.

Captain Hubei paused the body of the No. 4 assault gun in front of him and stopped. After a moment, a loud bang came from the front of the body, and the No. 4 assault gun opened fire.

The roar of the No. 4 assault gun and the violent shaking body made Captain Hubei truly feel the terror of this steel beast. After moving his body and setting a distance of nearly one meter from the No. 4 assault gun, Captain Hubei quietly poked his head out and observed the movements of the French position opposite again.

As soon as he poked his head out, Captain Hubei saw a "splash of soil" pounced on him on the ground more than one meter on the left side of the No. 4 assault gun.

Captain Hubei suddenly retracted, and a row of machine gun bullets hit the left body of the No. 4 assault gun, knocking out countless Mars.

Before Captain Hubei was glad that he had escaped the disaster, he heard a muffled sound from the top of his head. Captain Hubei felt that his head seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. The black eyes were in front of him, and with countless Venus, Captain Hubei fell to the ground.

The two messengers quickly supported Captain Hubei and pulled him behind the No. 4 assault gun and hid him.

Captain Hubei woke up after shaking his head for a long time and pouring a pot of cold water on his head.

A messenger stuffed a metal lump into Captain Hubei's hands. Captain Hubei took it and saw that it was a deformed shell with a caliber of about 20 mm.

On the open ground, the huge body of the No. 4 assault gun had long attracted the attention of the French army, and anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns were quickly aimed at them.

A 25mm anti-tank gun shell was flew into the air by the solid front armored missile of the No. 4 assault gun. After it rolled down, it just hit Captain Hubei's head.

After stuffing the deformed shell into his pocket, Captain Hubei then put on a steel helmet with a hole above his head, stood up and said to the two messengers, "The time is up, send a signal flare."

Seeing two green signal flares flying into the sky, the officers and soldiers of the company knew clearly what it meant. They each lay on the ground, covered their ears and opened their mouths, waiting for the coming fire of hell.

Soon after, the long-awaited Luzov, Blücher and Emden's guns roared again, and 283 mm, 210 mm and 150 mm shells fell on the French positions one after another.

Amid the explosion, soil, steel helmets, gun parts, and incomplete limbs flew into the air one after another.

This time, they should be able to kill them all! Seeing the tragic situation on the French position, Captain Hubei thought silently.

The shelling lasted only twenty minutes. As soon as the last shell landed, Captain Hubei rushed out from behind the No. 4 assault gun and rushed towards the French position with a whistle.

Hearing the whistle, the soldiers of the armed SS jumped up from the ground and charged with the company commander.

In just a few dozen seconds, Captain Hubei rushed through less than 200 meters.

After crossing several huge craters, Captain Hubei rushed to a section of French trenches.

After killing three French soldiers who were shocked by the shelling with a submachine gun, Captain Hubei jumped into the trench...

After some radio contact, Chen Dao learned that the attack on the western coast had also successfully achieved a breakthrough, so he felt relieved.

After looking at the quietly descending night, Chen Dao contacted Major Schumacher and ordered his troops to turn around and drive back to Bruna Town.

After meeting with Haussel, Chen Dao said: "What I worry most now is that we took too much action and scared them away."

"It shouldn't be. We just seized their first position. What they have to do tonight is to seize the time to build the second-tier position and resist our attack tomorrow." Haussel said.

"I hope so, my subordinates and I will rest for four hours, and then set out to strive to enter Stavanger at noon tomorrow." Chen Dao said.
