The pressure on the second anti-tank trench would be greater because German infantry could shoot accurately, and there were constant mortar shells hitting the attacking French Army.
However, for the well-armed First Armored Division, these were mere trifles. The "Saint Chammon" and the mortar operators immediately suppressed the Germans from the rear.
The rapid-firing and high-accuracy 75 cannons quickly silenced the German machine gun posts one after another. The German trenches were bombed as if hit by a hurricane, with soldiers screaming as they were thrown into the trenches by the shockwaves and buried by the flying dirt.
The mortar operators were well-trained, each one had been fed with a massive amount of shells by Shire. During battle, they hardly needed to measure; they could adjust the mortar angle almost by instinct, and within a few shells, they could precisely hit the German bunkers, destroying the German firepower hiding behind them one by one.
