Chapter 1629： Attack begins two

Chapter 1629

General Xiafei, who personally deployed this line of defense, knew very well that although these lines of defense are nothing, as long as the Germans are willing to fight and concentrate their forces, it is not difficult to penetrate them, but launching attacks in more than a dozen places at the same time is obviously equivalent to Distracted his fighting power. What is their purpose? In less than half an hour at most, the defenses were disintegrated one after another, and relying on infantry, then there is only one explanation, that is, the Germans used their storm commando this time!

Storm Commando, this is composed of the most elite and dedicated fighters in each division of the German Army. According to intelligence, each German division has a Storm Commando battalion, with a specific size ranging from hundreds to 1,000. Not waiting. They are the spearhead and the engine of the offensive of the entire German infantry division. It is the most precious resource. But now, the Germans directly put almost all the elite infantry on the front line, so what do they want to do?

According to Xiafei's previous assumption, the Germans should choose a direction of attack, and then successively throw in their elite infantry, tearing apart the defense line with the tank, and slowly squeezing the French defense line like a nail with a hammer. What about the French? What needs to be done is to use the defensive line and artillery to hinder the opponent's advancement, and then wait until the reserve team arrives, and the opponent will be dealt with in a wave when the opponent is tired. But now, the opponent has not followed the script at all. This kind of focus goes straight to the whole line. Overwhelming tactics have been rare since Napoleon's time!

"Your Excellency Commander, the German infantry is advancing very fast. They have begun to attack the second line of defense. The frontline reserve team is ready to attack. Should our troops be ready to dispatch?" an officer asked.

"No hurry, we didn't grasp the other side's attack direction, and at night, the artillery's performance was greatly affected. Let's take a look. Order the troops to stand by and wait for assistance." Xiafei ordered that the second line of defense has a certain amount. The German mortars and guns are fired. The Germans want to break through. I am afraid that it will not be so easy, right? Xia Fei said in her heart.

"Smash them thoroughly! All non-vehicle towed artillery concentrated firepower to support the frontline troops, lighting up all the artillery shells! There are also heavy mortars! They also have some effect in the shallow positions, and they are all used up! After tonight, I'm afraid we won't need these!" At this time, Earl Schmidt also received information that front-line troops were attacking the French second line of defense, so he ordered.

The French's strategy is very deep, ordinary howitzers can't hit the back line of defense, and if after dawn, the French's long-range artillery can easily counter-suppress. Therefore, the Germans chose to give full play to the role of these artillery in the process of breaking through the opponent's shallow defense at night!

In the continuous shelling like thunder, half-track self-propelled mortars marched toward the battlefield. Although these vehicles equipped with 210MM large-caliber short-barreled artillery have a range of only about 5,000 meters, they can be used for terror when attacking a fixed offensive. To describe. At this moment, the French machine gun positions and artillery nests that are constantly roaring in the distance are their targets!

boom! The stubby artillery muzzle ejected a huge fireball, and nearly a hundred kilograms of heavy artillery shells drew a dangerous arc in the air, and then slammed into the roads that blocked the German offensive forces in the horrified eyes of the French. Bunkers and bunkers.

How can the hurriedly constructed civil structural fortifications withstand such a violent crit? With a burst of loud noise, countless building fragments and artillery parts were directly blown into the sky by the powerful artillery, in time in the night, under the light of the fire, the front line The German troops in Germany can still see smoke pillars up to ten meters high. Just after the violent shelling and the smoke had not dissipated, the infantry of the Storm Commando almost launched an attack on the landing point of the shells.

The French artillery reacted quickly. Through telephone and wireless telegrams, under the guidance of the frontline observation post, a piece of fire gleamed behind the French position. After a short while, dozens of hundreds of tons of steel wrapped in destruction and death and rushed towards the breakthrough. Point, after experiencing the initial chaos, the French fire blockade began!

"Okay, it's up to us." At this time, on the initial starting position of the German army, the engineers welcomed a group of new comrades in arms, accompanied by huge figures moving in the night, one by one like ancient giant beasts. The wolf tank appeared in front of the people. A dozen tanks entered the offensive position with the help of their comrades. An engineer commander next to him was introducing the safe passage they had opened to the tank commander. When the frontal Stormtroopers rushed forward, the engineers behind were also preparing. They also opened several roads leading to the depths of the French army under the cover of friendly forces.

This is like entering a room. Although they did not knock on the door of the room, the obstacles outside have been cleared so that the steel beasts behind them can hit the door quickly and efficiently!

"Tonight, in the queue of the second wave of attacks, I could not see a walking infantry." A German officer wrote in his memoirs. Behind the tank are half-tracked vehicles and trucks, and farther away there should be a large number of truck guns. All troops, whether they are infantry or artillery, are fully motorized. A horse and no one walks on two feet. Such a troop itself is a miracle in this era. A troop made entirely of steel and engines is enough to make anyone feel terrified!

Of course, the Bavarian Army can't make much of such troops, there are only five in total. The so-called good steel should be used for the blade, but in the environment of World War I, even such troops may still suffer a loss in front of the system of defense systems. Tanks are very powerful, but the mines buried in the ground, the artillery fire, And infantry can cause trouble to these powerful guys. All kinds of defensive measures are enough to hold the most powerful offensive spearhead, and then, in the continuous long-term artillery bombardment and constant counterattack of the other side, a powerful offensive will eventually fall into the sand.

However, the Bavarian Army has faced such a battle at the Iron Fort training ground many times. How could it be unprepared when it came to the battlefield? In fact, the first wave of storm commando attacks was just a feint, and the Bavarian military had no intention of using these infantry units to completely penetrate the French second line of defense! Because it is too difficult and time does not allow!
