At this time, the KPA shelling had lasted for more than 30 minutes, pouring more than 5,000 rounds of various shells into the positions of the Russian army, and during this period, the Russian army did not return a single shot.

However, it has been determined from the reports of fixed-wing aircraft and the images taken by drones that the KPA shelling has achieved results, so the army has been ordered to launch a ground attack on the Russian positions.

As a result, the KPA soldiers in charge of the commando team jumped out of their trenches and rushed towards the positions of the Russian army, and the KPA's large-caliber artillery also stopped shelling, but there were still about 150 small and medium-caliber guns still firing, which was to provide the last fire cover for the attacking troops.

At this moment, the Russian artillery finally began to exert its might, and the shells fell into the attacking People's Army group and exploded, thus causing casualties to the People's Army, but the offensive formation of the People's Army was very scattered, and the Russian artillery fire was not intensive, and the lethality of the People's Army was limited, but it also had a certain impact on the offensive of the People's Army.

In addition, the Russian army also tried to strike at the artillery positions of the People's Army, but the Russian army did not have aerial reconnaissance, and could only calculate the position of the artillery positions of the People's Army from the landing point and trajectory of the shells, but the error of this calculation was quite large, so the shelling was far from the intended target.

However, as soon as the Russian artillery sounded, the KPA planes immediately reconnoitred the Russian artillery positions, although the KPA planes do not have the ability to scan the ground and directly locate them, but before the start of the war, the KPA has divided the battlefield into fine squares, so as long as it is determined that the Russian army's artillery positions are within that square, the KPA artillery can strike at them.

Of course, although this method can replace modern high-precision reconnaissance equipment, the disadvantage is that the accuracy is low, and the speed of reaction will be much slower, but in this era, this is already quite advanced technology. However, in this way, it also left a trace of life for the Russian army. As a result of learning the lessons of previous battles, the Russian army not only divided the artillery positions extremely scattered, but also the time of the artillery bombardment was extremely short, strictly controlled within 1-2 minutes, and tried to shoot out as many shells as possible, and immediately retreated after the battle, and hid in the woods or bunkers again, leaving no time for the KPA to strike accurately.

Sure enough, although the People's Army continuously carried out precise strikes on the artillery positions of the Russian army, because the Russian army moved too fast, it only captured one Russian artillery position, but although the Russian army made its artillery immune from the attack of the People's Army, it also caused insufficient artillery counterattack firepower, and the damage to the offensive strength of the People's Army was limited. And as the KPA offensive forces approached the Russian lines, both sides reduced their artillery fire so as not to injure their own soldiers.

Ludendorff spoke very highly of the KPA's artillery tactics and the coordination of infantry artillery, believing that the level of such coordination and cooperation had reached the level of the first-class army in Europe. It seems that the victory of the KPA in the early battles was not accidental.

As a matter of fact, there is still a certain gap between the tactical quality and the level of coordination and cooperation of the KPA and the first-class army in Europe. The reason why it has been so well organized is, on the one hand, that there are planes in the air to monitor and monitor the overall combat process, so that the KPA command can control the overall combat process in an extremely timely manner; on the other hand, the KPA command headquarters can maintain direct contact with various combat units, which also helps the command headquarters to understand the situation of various combat units in an extremely timely manner and convey orders to the combat units in an extremely timely manner. In this era, communication is basically done by manpower, and it takes a certain amount of time for information to be transmitted from the headquarters to the battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so perhaps when information is transmitted from one end to the other, the battlefield has changed.

At this moment, dense gunfire rang out in the positions of the Russian army, and the KPA soldiers who had rushed to the positions of the Russian army suddenly fell. While the remaining KPA continued to attack, they looked for cover and fired at the Russian troops in the trenches, and for a while the gunshots rang out like dense rain.

Schuster was stunned for a moment and said, "Under such a heavy shelling, can there still be so many defenders in Jingran?"

Ludendorff frowned and said, "I don't think so, the Russian army should have deployed most of its troops in the rear of the position, and waited for the People's Army to attack before entering the position to set up defenses and block." ”

Schuster said: "So the Russians are smart, so isn't the people's army's shelling just now in vain?"

Ludendorff said: "The Russians are not stupid in the first place, and it is impossible for a stupid country to defeat Napoleon." I think the People's Army has never pinned its hopes on the early artillery bombardment, and the goal of their shelling should be to destroy the iron fence and horse rejection arranged by the Russian army, and cause some damage to the Russian army's positions, so as to facilitate the infantry attack behind. After a pause, he said, "But that's fine, let's see how the People's Army's offensive capabilities are." ”

When Schuster heard this, he also nodded again and again, and said, "Then who do you think will win this offensive and defensive battle?" ”

Ludendorff said: "If nothing else, it must be the People's Army." ”

In fact, Ludendorff's judgment was not wrong, although the Russians were rude on the surface, they were by no means reckless, on the contrary, they were still very cunning and shrewd, they formulated ingenious tactics against the strong artillery of the People's Army, and only deployed a small number of troops on the first line of defense to avoid the shelling of the People's Army, and arranged the reserve army in the communication trenches, and after the shelling of the People's Army stopped, the Russian army immediately entered the position to block the attack of the People's Army.

After all, the layout of the Russian army's defense line has reached the level of 6 or 7 points of the People's Army, and it is difficult to defeat it only by artillery fire, so as long as it can clear the obstacles for the ground offensive, in the final analysis, the army is still needed to go into battle to solve the battle, but the People's Army is also full of confidence in the army's ability to attack the fortification. Of course, in this way, the People's Army will inevitably pay a considerable price for casualties, but as long as it is a war, casualties are inevitable, and this is a loss that must be borne.

At this time, some KPA soldiers braved the fire of the Russian army to continue to attack the Russian position, and some set up machine guns, mortars, grenadiers and other fire support weapons in front of the Russian position to strike at the Russian position and suppress the firepower of the Russian army.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was compressed to less than 200 meters, and they launched mutual shooting, although the tactics of the Russian army successfully saved most of the troops, but it was difficult to completely arrange the position in a short period of time, and the position was heavily shelled by the People's Army, it was determined that it was damaged in many places, and the defense was greatly reduced, plus there were attacking People's Army soldiers to contain the attention of the Russian army, so although the fire support forces put into the attack by the People's Army were small, they were comparable to the Russian army for a while. At this time, the KPA mortars had been set up and launched an artillery attack on the positions of the Russian army.

Although the power of the mortar is not large, it is a cannon after all, and the artillery path is a large curve, which can be directly hit into the trench, so it has caused great threat and damage to the Russian army, and several machine gun fire points of the Russian army have been knocked out by mortar guns, and the firepower has been greatly reduced, and it has also cleared a lot of obstacles for the offensive of the People's Army.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Russian army was suppressed by the support firepower of the People's Army, a KPA unit that served as an assault also took advantage of the situation to enter the trenches of the Russian army and launched a white-knuckle battle with the Russian army, and then several KPA commandos entered the position, some of them entered the gap along the gap broken by their companions in front, and some of them newly tore apart the Russian defense line and opened a new gap.

At this time, the rear saw that it had opened several gaps in the positions of the Russian army, so it immediately ordered a full-scale attack on the positions of the Russian army, and at the same time the artillery units also opened fire again, but this time the target was not the position of the Russian army, but the rear of the Russian position, which was to cut off the reinforcements of the Russian army. Because at this time, the People's Army had discovered the communication trench dug by the Russian army and was using the communication trench to continuously send troops to the position, so it immediately notified the command.

After learning about it, the command couldn't help but praise the Russians for being a little clever, so they immediately ordered armored train guns and self-propelled guns to extend the ballistics to the rear of the Russian positions and launch bombardment. The power of large-caliber artillery is really unusual, the Russian army's communication trenches are just covered with wooden planks and covered with a layer of floating soil turf, which can not withstand the bombardment of artillery shells at all, after more than 10 rounds of bombardment, all 4 communication trenches have been blown up, and the Russian soldiers in the communication trenches hurriedly climbed out of the trenches and fled in all directions. However, at this time, other artillery pieces of more than 100 mm of the People's Army also adjusted their shooting parameters and opened fire one after another, and the Russian army was suddenly killed and wounded, and corpses were scattered all over the field. And it will be difficult for reinforcements to go up.

At this time, in the main position of the Russian army, with the launch of the all-out offensive of the People's Army, the Russian army also gave up the firepower to resist the enemy, except for a few soldiers, most of the Russian soldiers were loaded with bayonets, some rushed out of the position, some stayed in the trenches, and the People's Army launched a fierce white-knives battle. At this time, the quality of tactics and the quality of weapons have little to do with it, the decisive factor is the soldier's white-knuckle combat ability and indomitable courage, the people's army is naturally high morale, after all, in the early battle, it has achieved a brilliant victory, the Russian army is just its own defeated general, and the Russian army is transferred from Europe, although it knows that the Russian army has suffered a heavy defeat in the early stage, has not experienced previous battles, and does not have much psychological burden, so the two sides have killed an evenly matched enemy for a while, and it is difficult to separate.
