Chapter 390

After the plan was deployed, all the troops entered the preparation stage, but the heavy artillery brigade was still carrying out artillery missions every day. The 20 km line ahead kept thinking about the sound of artillery. As far as the general headquarters of the allies in Paris, beidang and Haig were studying how to use the US Army.

"What does the United States mean, with such a young general, there is no lieutenant general in their first echelon. Although they took over part of the defense, it is only 20 kilometers," said bedang.

Haig disagreed. "It's normal. The U.S. military are recruits. They have not experienced war. Although there are 50 divisions and 20 brigades, their establishment seems to be very small. There are only more than 10000 people in each division, less than half of us, but their weapons are good."

"Well, that's true. It's impossible to count on them, but where do we need to add our replaced troops?"

"Add the front line of the man river, how about another attack at the end of the year?" Haig said that he wanted to attack very much.

"This..." Bei Dang had to consider his predecessor. He was dismissed because of too much loss in a battle, so he hesitated and directly changed the topic. "I heard that the Americans are shelling every day. Do they have any action?"

"How can it be? What can their recruits do? Whether they are equipped or not means they have combat effectiveness."

They didn't know that Wesley had deployed the attack and didn't inform the headquarters. The double release spy war was going on all the time. Wesley didn't know whether he would leak the information, so he didn't inform at all. Although there were great disadvantages in doing so, it might make the U.S. Army fight alone, Wesley didn't care about them at all. His troops had enough strength to deal with it, Even in the face of two million enemies, he is not afraid.

On September 27, 1917, the first world war here will be different. At 6 a.m., the heavy artillery brigade started shelling again. This time, there were 10 heavy artillery brigades and 50 divisions of 105mm howitzers. This is the first large-scale assembly and use of rapid fire guns in human history. This is not comparable to the French "Miss 75", which is not at the same level.

The 20 kilometer German defense line was caught in a sea of fire, and the troops of the first group army were already preparing. They would cooperate without running. After an hour of shelling, the shelling began to extend. Then the soldiers jumped out of the trench and divided into three combat groups. They moved forward in finished words, Their tactics were carried out in full accordance with the new infantry code.

These soldiers are recruits, but they are recruits who have been trained for two years. There is no problem with their tactical actions, but the soldiers who have not seen blood are recruits after all, and this is their first time.

The leading troops of the three divisions were concentrated at three points, and the follow-up troops still followed up for times. The shelling had been replaced with 75mm rapid fire guns, and all heavy guns were extended to prevent accidental injury. They began to deploy mortar groups 500 meters in front of the local position. When the soldiers arrived 200 meters from the local position, the shelling stopped, and then a large number of machine guns began to prepare and the soldiers attacked.

The German positions were in a panic. They didn't know whether the enemy was attacking, but the observation post could finally see the situation ahead. "The enemy is attacking." a loud cry, the surviving observation post shouted loudly, and then the whistle was sounded. Whistle was widely used in World War I. It was very useful to convey messages.

The German army took up arms and came to their combat posts, but at this time, a harsh scream came, "shelling". Mortars have been used in World War I, but they are not used very much. After all, these soldiers have withstood different shelling for two years. They are used to it, but this time they miscalculated because there are too many mortars. Groups of 60mm, 80mm and 120mm mortars attack and fall directly into the trenches, which are not serrated.

In a straight trench, the lethality of a shell can be maximized. After five minutes of shelling, the infantry have moved to the position of 100 meters on the front line. They prepared grenades. The shelling stopped. The soldiers jumped up and quickly hit a distance of 50 meters. Then the grenades were thrown out.

The "bombing" exploded again, and some of the German troops were about to run away. After a week of shelling, today there was a larger shelling, and then another shelling. Now they can't tell what it is.

"Bang... Dada... Suddenly and suddenly" different gunshots sounded. The U.S. military has invaded the front line position, and the power of automatic weapons has been brought into full play, "continue to attack and move forward." the troops of the first three divisions have no other task, that is, attack and move forward. They are like fish in the trench, a grenade is the Gibson submachine gun to open the way, and automatic weapons are alternately covered, They are like breaking bamboo.

At the same time, behind the German defense line, on the coast of the North Sea, a fleet suddenly appeared, followed by shelling, but it seemed that there was nothing shelled, and the landing craft began to move forward towards the coastline.

This is Wesley's marine brigade personally trained. The troops of the four brigades put one brigade to land at a time. Their position is in the rear of the German army. This is Wesley's mace. He wants to drive the German army out of Belgium at one time and eliminate the enemy's strength as much as possible.

The bunker is the most terrible, because there are machine guns in it, which is a nightmare for infantry. The U.S. military has encountered a large number of bunker. Through artillery investigation, they found some, but there are still many not found. However, as soon as the bunker fires, they will see a terrible weapon flying over in white smoke.

Rocket propelled grenades instantly became the favorite of soldiers. There were not many concrete attacks. Most of them were hidden fortresses composed of civil engineering and sandbags. They were completely unable to resist rocket propelled grenade attacks, especially armor piercing shells.

Why didn't Wesley pay attention to the bunker? This is the most troublesome problem. The main function of the bazooka is not to fight tanks, because he can only respond with "hehe" to the tanks in World War I. The U.S. military department sent several tanks, which were developed by Ford.

The American 1918 tank, which should have appeared in 1918, appeared ahead of time, because Wesley cooperated with them to produce cars. At the same time, the power company produced new engines, both gasoline and diesel engines, so the power problem of the tank is not a problem.

But Wesley didn't go too far, so Ford's tanks didn't change much. After reading it, Wesley directly ordered, "throw it away."

If he needs a tank, he won't design it himself? The current conditions are not mature. It does not mean that you can have technology. It requires a large number of industrial workers to learn skillfully, and Wesley's factory workers are undoubtedly the best workers, because new technologies are first exposed.
