Re: german 200 battle campaign
After assaulting the brtish lines and overruning a 25pounder artillerie batterie we advanced further into holland. The objective was to take two bridges over a river and the Villages close to thoose bridges.
Since ourmen were most rested they were choosen for thisadvance while the pioneers and infantry that supported our last attack stayed behind. Only 5 Pz3 followed us and we got a light batterie for support.
First our scouts could take the bridges without resistance. only a group of scouts was found near thesouther railroad bridge.
But ater we started moving over the bridge enemy artillery and tank units together with infantry counterattacked. We lost 2 of our precious Pz2 here two an immobilised Cruiser tank. Even after it was damaged and full of holes from 20mm cannons the 2 remaining crewmember managed to take out 2 tanks. a grenade froman at team finished their day.
After this attack was broken there most of the enemy fled only some 25mm at-guns remained much to the dismay of the advancig pz3s.
Still we pushed on joined by a Pzgrenadier company that had 2 Jgdpanzer as support. This saved the day once we met a battlegroup of de Gaulles 4th armored Divison. they had around 10 well armoured tanks against our one remaining mark 2. most of them were taken out by the jagdpanzer I only 2 char b1 remain.
right now 1.kompanie is holding back and attack by the french while 2nd komanie and the panzergrenadiere flank them in the south. soon we will have the already demoralised enemy encircled.
Still losses are mounting and we are waiting for ressuply. otherwise we can not continue our offensive.
