Battle of the Third Reich
v2 Chapter 10: Go to war
Xu Jun picked up the telescope and looked at the battlefield, thinking hard about the countermeasures.
When he looked at his heiii lying on the battlefield, his brain suddenly flashed, and a crazy plan appeared in Xu Jun's brain. Xu Jun lowered his head for a moment, then raised his head to look at the British position on the opposite side, and made up his mind.
"It's a gamble now!"
At this time the British shelling suddenly began. The 18 25-pound guns directly under the artillery battalion of the 151st Brigade of the British Army were desperately bombarding the German position and the open space in front. The German positions immediately exploded with four smoke spreading. A large piece of mud that was blown up and mixed with grass roots and grass blades hit the trench like rain, and some soldiers in the trench were almost buried alive.
A violent explosion continued to break the eardrums of many soldiers, and blood ran down the ears.
"It's a barrage shot, it seems that their infantry is about to charge." Mueller screamed.
"No, it's not that simple, tell the soldiers not to act rashly. They are destroying our anti-tank minefield. Then they will bombard our artillery positions, Mueller, did you inform them to shift their positions?" Xu Jun shrinked He shouted in the ear while pulling Mueller's collar in the trench.
"Notified!" Mueller nodded.
"That's good. You order all the soldiers. You are not allowed to shoot until the enemy infantry enters the range of one hundred meters from our position, waiting for my order."
"Comply. General." Mueller followed the trenches to find his company commanders.
"Hans!" Xu Jun shouted to Hans who was spitting mud on the side: "Give me the light infantry artillery position and the anti-tank artillery position.
"Comply, General." Hans quickly dragged the battlefield wireline telephone over.
"Ah, is it Lieutenant Saar? I am Reinhardt! I order you now, all light infantry guns are equipped with smoke bombs, yes, smoke bombs. Can you hear me? Set the ruler 200 meters in front of the position to Within 100 meters, there is no fire without getting my order. Waiting for my order."
Then Xu Jun turned on the anti-tank gun array and issued the same command. Finally he connected the four 150 self-propelled artillery in the woods
"Is Lieutenant Drayton? I'm General Reinhardt, you listen to me carefully now, you... what? I can't hear you, louder? Ah, you have measured the coordinates I gave you ?That's good! I'm here to confirm this matter, okay, you are waiting for my order."
Xu Jun let down the phone and let out a breath. Suddenly he seemed to think of something again, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then pulled over a German sergeant who quietly explained something.
"Ah?" The sergeant looked surprised.
"Don't ask why, go!"
The sergeant "Observe the order, Lord General" hurried to the field kitchen along the trench.
"Now let's see if the British guy is really as stupid as in the movie." Xu Jun put on an m35 helmet that Mueller had found for him, and found an ammo box and sat down.
The shelling finally stopped after ten minutes. The British plowed the entire open area with shells, and the anti-tank minefield was completely destroyed. The situation in the trenches is not bad. In the end, it was a product of the World War I position. Although it was older, it was still solid. The British shells failed to collapse it for a while. Of course, this is not a direct hit.
The shelling did not cause any major damage to Xu Jun except for the wounds of more than a dozen soldiers who were injured by the blown stones and the eardrum. The shells that attacked Xu Jun's artillery position hit the empty space, which was already empty, all wasted.
After a while, there was a whistle from the British position opposite. Then hordes of infantry drilled out of the woods, and under the leadership of the officers, roared and lined up the trenches towards the trenches.
There was a roar of the tank engine in the woods. With the metal friction of the tracks, about three dozen British tanks rushed out of the woods. At the forefront were seven side-by-side "Matilda" Type IIs, others The "Matilda" type 1 also lined up behind the seven "Matilda" type 2. They crossed the infantry array, squeaked and started to charge, and the engine was smoky.
"It's a "Matilda" tank, don't worry, it can't run fast, except for the thick armor, there is nothing terrible. Do not fire all weapons, everyone wait for my password, wait for the enemy's infantry to shoot at full strength! Get close and try again."
All soldiers and officers watched the enemies approaching them motionlessly. The soldiers began to set Mauser's 98k dial gauge at 100 meters, and then put the m24 grenade unscrewed neatly and placed them in his hand.
The officers carried mp38 and opened the button of the waist magazine bag. Some veterans pulled out bayonets and inserted them beside the trenches. Other recruits learned to do that.
"Yes, then you won't be in a hurry when you need a bayonet." Xu Jun nodded secretly.
Then Xu Jun turned to look at the machine gun group beside him to prepare for shooting. The mg34 machine gun shooter stared at the target fiercely with his eyes, and placed his finger on the trigger. The deputy shooter hung a bullet chain on the machine gun, and the other deputy shooter opened the metal bullet box placed nearby and dragged a bullet chain to hang on. Around his neck was a tin box equipped with a barrel.
"Very good, it really is a well-trained army. After a while, you can verify that they are not well-known." Xu Jun sighed.
Xu Jun looked back at his immediate line.
Hans frowned, wearing an m35 helmet that he didn't know where to get it, squatting next to the phone with his mp38 on his grub pistol, and he would really find a way to calm down. Randolph, with headphones on, was searching for signals from other troops in front of the radio. He did not care about the things around him. It seemed that he was a serious person.
Dougan is holding a Mauser 98k sniper type and looking towards the opposite side, it seems that he has found a good toy. The two trainee staff officers were still tinkering with the "Enigma", one of them was debugging the muddy gears and the other was flipping through the codebook. It seemed that for a while and a half they couldn't count on , I really don't know how they graduated from the military school.
The two servicemen were also aiming nervously with a Mauser 98k. I don’t know what their marksmanship was. I hope that the two of them didn’t become servicemen because the marksmanship was too stinky.
