Chapter 1445: Forced Attack 1

Chapter 1445 Forced Attack 1

"This kind of battle has reference value. There is nothing to be proud of if you win against a weakling like Japan." Looking at the battle plan sent by Eric, Baron Schmidt nodded with satisfaction.

"Then fight hard, tell the Air Force, and cooperate with them! Don't be afraid of losses. Next month, I will add an additional flying wing to them!" Prince Ruprecht nodded and said. He now wants to know what kind of results can be achieved in a battle with the British and French forces on the Western Front when the German army is well prepared!

As a result, a battle that was somewhat beyond the British expectations officially kicked off. The German army and air force, which had received the promise, gathered their strength and prepared to fight the British fiercely!

boom! boom! boom! Before the attack began, a routine bombardment began. Dozens of howitzers and cannons rained down bullets on the British positions. The shells fell on the target area with a deafening sound. Pillars of smoke rose into the sky, and smoke and flames instantly appeared. Covering the entire British position. Driving from a distance, the opposite side seemed to have turned into an area of ​​fire and gunpowder smoke.

However, for those who have actually fought in the war, especially those who have not died after being on the Western Front for several months, the effect of such bombardment is very limited. Those who cannot avoid the bombardment or are afraid of the bombardment have long been eliminated by the war. All Yes, everyone who can stand here now has a certain ability to respond to shelling. The British said they would set up false defense lines and shelters to hide when the opponent is shelling, and immediately enter the position when the opponent stops shelling and launches an attack. I understand this too! What's so difficult?

Therefore, both sides understand that although it looks spectacular and cool, the actual killing effect is not worth looking forward to. The real solution to the problem depends on the battle between elite infantry and armored forces at medium and close range! The British knew very well that the Germans would use this period of cover to get as close to the position as possible, then clear the minefields and shorten the attack distance. The Germans also know very well that the British position will not be as simple as it appears, and the artillery position behind the British Legion position will definitely carry out counter-suppression when the German army attacks! Everyone knows it!

"The Germans are coming up!" Seeing the flares rising in the sky and hearing the alarm on the phone, as if a mechanical button was activated, groups of British troops began to rush out of the shelters and enter the position. German tanks appeared in sight, and the British rapid-fire artillery positions also began to recover. The soldiers removed the canvas covering the artillery, and then aimed the artillery at the target under the command of the gunner. The loader quickly sent a shell to Entering the barrel, the black muzzle pointed forward, waiting for the firing order.

A few minutes later, the British artillery, which had obtained information through the forward observation post, completed the calculation of the shooting of Morohara. Behind the British position, 152MM heavy guns and 4-inch rapid-fire guns raised their thick and long barrels. The gun crews ran back and forth between the ammunition piles and the guns, loading fuses for each shell, and then fired them It is loaded into the gun barrel together with the propellant package.

boom! The shells roared towards the target one after another.

This is a round of corrective fire, not to kill the opponent but to provide data. If you wait a little longer, it can take a few minutes or a few dozen seconds, and the British artillery will throw tons of shells at the attacking enemy. On top of the German troops!

"The British long-range artillery fired! I saw them!" However, this British attack was destined to not go smoothly, just like the previous German artillery attacks could not kill many British... The Germans have predicted your trick, how could they not be prepared? ! Immediately after the British opened fire, the German Air Force's K-6 bomber unit almost reached the front line!

"Pay attention to their anti-aircraft firepower! We just need to suppress it, not to completely destroy it!" The captain issued an order to all the bomber units participating in the battle, and the bomber group that received the order also began to divide into small groups and attack the British who were still firing. Flying to the military position, they did not carry a powerful but small number of heavy bombs, but a large number of medium and small bombs.

At this time, the quality of the pilots of the Bavarian Air Force was fully demonstrated. When the radio was unreliable, relying entirely on the pilot's own perception and judgment, the Bavarian aircraft immediately launched over the battlefield. The fighter units were scattered around the periphery and divided into high and low. Two fleets, the low-altitude fleet is responsible for detection and interception, and the high-altitude fleet is responsible for hunting and support.

The accompanying K-4 bombers circled in the mid-level airspace, responsible for suppressing possible British surface-to-air firepower, while the K-6 bomber force constantly circled over the British artillery group, using bombs and machine guns to drive the British gunners away from their positions. Keeping them unable to fight.

boom! A bomb landed near an artillery bunker. Although there were parapets and bunkers to help block it, the shock wave was still guaranteed to shatter the alveoli of several British gunners. These poor guys coughed violently, and streams of blood mixed with them. Foam sprayed out of his mouth and nose, and suddenly a soldier spit out something. Then his limbs twitched, and accompanied by a series of unintelligible roars and screams, the guy fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

"Another poor guy," a veteran who was also temporarily deafened by the shock stepped forward and covered the things vomited by the dead soldier with soil. This piece of lung was coughed out! If some newcomers saw it, they would probably be useless within a few hours!

The rescue workers who came later began to take away the injured soldiers from their fighting positions, and then the subsequent personnel replaced them with the third batch of soldiers today!

Compared with artillery, people are too fragile. Bomb shock waves, shrapnel, flames, and poisonous gas can easily destroy a person's life in an instant! Especially when the Germans were suppressing them, they still used napalm bombs. This pervasive terrorist bomb that claimed to be able to ignite everything was called the devil's gastric juice by the British! Even if the bunker will not be destroyed, once it enters the gun nest, it may cause a big disaster!

Just now, an incendiary bomb exploded near the bunker. The ignited incinerator spread around. Many soldiers were contaminated by the flying incendiary on the spot. Waves of wailing sounds continued to be heard, and they watched the flames soar into the sky not far away. The bunker and the unhuman whine made everyone feel deeply frightened and shocked. This kind of smoke screen that cannot be easily extinguished and at the same time produces a thick and toxic smoke screen kills and injures a large number of people in a short period of time. Even if someone is lucky enough to survive until the rescuers arrive, I am afraid that the best result is to survive the disaster with scars all over his body. I will be plagued by illness for the rest of my life!
