章節 44: Chapter 40 Combat Engineers

West of Peniye, Prosen tanks had crossed the mortar smoke screen barrier.

At that time, the enemy's infantry artillery barrage had ceased, probably for fear that the dust might interfere with the tank's direct fire power.

After the tanks emerged from the smoke, the Prussians' skirmish line also appeared.

At this moment, apart from the roar of engines, the only sound on the entire battlefield was machine gun fire coming from the east end of the village.

This distant sound, instead, highlighted the quietness on the battlefield.

Without machine gun fire, the village was tranquil.

The mountain artillery strike had created seven or eight pillars of smoke, but it was unknown how many casualties it had caused.

When the tanks were about two hundred meters away, they stopped advancing, probably not wanting to enter the effective range of the anti-tank rifles.
