It's unclear who started it, but the German artillerymen suddenly became frantic, attempting their last desperate struggle.
But it was all meaningless.
The French Army pulled the trigger without hesitation, gunfire echoing throughout, German soldiers falling one by one into pools of blood.
After a few minutes of intense gunfire that gradually subsided, only the French soldiers shouting in rough German could be heard:
"Hands up!"
"Drop your guns if you want to live."
"We won't harm you, surrender is a wise choice!"
...
The Germans realized they couldn't fight off this French Army in front of them. They were artillerymen with no combat experience and poorly equipped, while the French had tanks.
The machine guns and 37mm caliber cannons on the tank turrets formed an indescribable pressure and deterrence to the German artillerymen who had never faced enemies in close combat.
Thus, before the battle even heated up, the German artillerymen were already surrendering in droves.
