The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 672: Infantry Battle One

"That's it, Xiao Maoqi is not mediocre. He knows that even if he sends more troops, he can't effectively control such a long front. He just controls a few points and waits for us to fight. Then Mackenson stabbed from behind. We have a knife."

"Assign all armored vehicles to the frontal infantry regiment, Schmidt, you command the rapid regiment to launch a counterattack, and attack the deepest and occupy the original Prussian defense line. In addition, don't have high expectations of the air force. Pay attention to your own wings. If you find horses If Kenson's rapid corps, kill them first." The prince reminded again.

  Even during the Cold War, the Air Force couldn’t be on call, let alone now? So in the prince’s plan, the Air Force was turned into a flying heavy artillery force aimed at fixed targets and area targets. It is also possible to intercept heavy convoys, but want to play with close-range battlefield support? Let's wash and sleep. Therefore, when designing the fast army, the prince's request was to build them into a synthetic army that can handle more than 90% of the situation, which of course includes field battles with the opponent's mobile army!

  The Bavarian Army finally moved! The infantry units located on the main line of defense began to enter the attack starting position. The long-range artillery and heavy mortars also focused their attacks on the enemy in front of them. The selected pioneer squad carried mortars, machine guns, submachine guns, and blasting equipment. Launched a counterattack, and behind them was a self-propelled artillery equipped with a half-track vehicle and an armored vehicle equipped with a two-pounder gun.

Supported by a large number of automatic weapons, light artillery, and direct-targeted medium-caliber artillery, engineers and soldiers cooperated in combat. The proper one is the prototype of the storm commando in the later World War 1, which maximizes the synthesis and firepower of the pioneer troops and is responsible for counterattack. The infantry unit also had 4 battalions, but they concentrated all their firepower on the one company responsible for the breakthrough!

  Lieutenant Fedor von Bok personally led a battalion to defend the newly consolidated position. As a nobleman born in a military family and an honor student in a military academy, the lieutenant knew well that after occupying a new position, the opponent’s first wave of counterattacks was the most dangerous, so as soon as he entered the position, Lieutenant Bock immediately proceeded. Arranging defensive positions. Taking into account the opponent’s artillery advantage and air strikes, Bock abandoned the method of centrally deploying automatic firearms and mortars on the front. He concentrated more machine guns on the side positions and reverse **** positions. Almost all the soldiers did. While busy, the engineer shovel in hand expanded the original position, arranged machine guns and mortar bunkers, and the three 77MM rapid-fire guns assigned to the battalion were deployed at the back of the position as long-range suppression firepower. The entire line of defense relies on the terrain to form a U-shaped pocket array. Most of the machine guns and mortars were deployed on both sides of the direction in which the opponent might launch an attack, and on the bottom side of the U-shaped were three rapid-fire guns.

"If the opponent does not have an armored unit, with this position, we can block the attacks of the two battalions." Bock is very confident of his defense line. On both sides of the battle line are hills and bushes, which is not suitable for large-scale attacks. At least the vehicles are not good. Go, it is even more difficult for medium-caliber artillery to accompany the offense here. The only suitable offensive direction is the open area in the middle, but it has been blocked by its own firepower.

"It's time for those Protestants to the north to see what real infantry tactics are." After Hermann finished smoking the last cigarette rationed today, he set off with his team. They did not choose an open area that was easier to expand. , But chose to attack the opponent’s left wing. This is a small hilly area. Although the deployment of troops is restricted, the mortars and the 2-pounder guns on the two armored vehicles attached to them can suppress most of the frontal firepower points. Hellman believed that his elite infantry could deal with the hurriedly constructed secret fort and skirmish line.

The team led by Hermann had only two platoons, but it was equipped with an independent engineer squad and no fewer than eight light machine guns. The eight machine gun groups quickly dispersed. The three-person team took advantage of the terrain and smoke. The shield of the bombs traveled through the smoke, and three or four combat teams formed a squad, like an open fishing net, thinking of the opponent to pounce. The suppression of the 2-pounder and mortar came as planned, and the straight or curved trajectory drawn by a round of shells flew away with an imaginary target. In the sound of artillery fire, the infantry on both sides kept silent sensibly. They knew that the final battle that really decided the outcome was at the final distance of 200 meters to 300 meters. No matter how far away, the effect would be very bad.

   Suddenly. The machine gunner in a bunker finally couldn't bear it, and fired at a group of vague figures in the distance. A round of fire snakes made of bullets swept back and forth against the ground, completely locking the passage between the two cols. .

   "It's very smart." Herman carefully observed the opponent's position. The machine gun bunker was lined with skirmishers on both sides, and it was located on the north side of the hill. Walking from the bare hills would be taken care of by the opponent's mortar. The opponent’s machine gun bunker is obviously considering dealing with mortars~lightnovelpub.net~ According to Hermann’s experience, it should be covered with logs and then covered with rammed earth. Although the construction is very scribble, it can block 60 mortars. The artillery is okay, and the frontal passage is very narrow. It is a bit difficult to pass. Armored vehicles cannot drive here either.

"We are attacking the skirmish line on the left." Hermann gave an attack order after hesitating for a while. After leaving two machine gun groups in the front to be responsible for containment, the remaining personnel began to roundabout from the side, and on the relatively open side, the Bavarian infantry A textbook-style infantry offensive and defensive battle was conducted with the Prussian infantry.

The MG07 machine gun equipped by the Prussian army kept roaring. With the help of a stable sled-type quadripod, the experienced Prussian shooters were able to fight fiercely and accurately. The Prussians are not stupid, they know that the opponent will be small and unable to face it. Attacking the side when deployed, so a platoon of soldiers with two machine guns are deployed on the side. After clearing the firing boundary and calibrating the distance, the Prussian machine gunner can easily suppress any single target using optical instruments and shooting tables.

  The two machine guns, like the dragon heads of a double-headed dragon, spit out fiery snakes trying to expel those close to them. The opponent is very scattered, and the front is a bit big compared to the two machine guns. The non-commissioned officer in charge of the machine gun team must find the opponent's machine gun team that is the most threatening target through the smoke screen. Mortars and grenades are not a threat here. First of all, because the machine gun group is located relatively behind, and relying on the mountain, the angle of the curved-fire weapon is too large to have no shooting boundary!
