"Grenadiers, bomb throwers......"

At the fork in the trench, Weiss heard the Normans give the battle order in the midst of all the noises, and he suddenly exploded like a cat with a premonition of an approaching threat. On the Soviet-German battlefield, which devoured tens of millions of lives, the two sides regarded the combination of submachine guns and grenades as the best melee package, also known as "submachine guns and grenades melee gold is not exchanged", which shows the power of these two conventional weapons in close combat.

Weiss was on guard, but no matter how fast he was, it was difficult for him to throw a powerful grenade before the enemy. So, he quickly moved in the opposite direction along the trench, but before he had run three meters, there was a violent explosion behind him, and it was a "double cannon". The strong impact, like a fierce man punching twice from behind with a fist the size of a casserole, was not just a physical pain, but a feeling of being out of the body.

Weiss threw himself on the ground, his back was hot, his head was dazed, his ears were ringing, his vision was a little blurred, an inexplicable feeling of fatigue struck, and he subconsciously wanted to sleep like this, but rational thinking gave him a shot in the arm at this time. Weiss gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and with a cry in his heart, he dispelled the inert consciousness, and finally took a breath again, and all his senses returned to normal.

"The Normans are coming! Steady! Steady! See the enemy and fire again! ”

Someone was shouting to his companion in Ulster, and when Weiss looked up, he saw that it was a handsome second lieutenant, who looked to be less than 25 years old, and who had graduated from the military academy not long ago, and who was both vigorous and resolute. He had two guns in both hands, using two semi-automatic pistols of the Union Army, and he was shouting and firing at the same time, and he looked imposing. Around him, four Union soldiers crouched or stood, Grumman rifles in their hands, intently aiming.

Hearing the rattling of machine guns leaping through the trenches, Weiss immediately turned and rolled sideways, and sat up next to the trench wall. At this time, there was no Norman figure in sight at the fork position, but the clear gunfire and recognizable bullet marks revealed that the enemy was approaching step by step. Maybe in a few seconds, those Norman soldiers will be at the fork, but does Weiss dare to expect the Normans to stupidly come out and target them? I have fought with them many times, I have suffered from various aphorisms, and I have never taken advantage of them easily!

The ancients had a cloud, the first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers. Weiss touched the back of his waist with his left hand, and he actually felt empty, and secretly said in his heart: The spinach bullet is gone! How so? I remember another one, but I remembered it by mistake, or did I accidentally lose it during the battle? In the current situation, Weiss did not have time to find out the truth, he quickly withdrew his left hand and aimed at the fork in the road with a gun in both hands.

Second after second, time passed quietly, but the enemy did not show up, and the atmosphere condensed into ice, making it impossible to breathe. In order to gain insight into the enemy's movements, Weiss used his human radar twice, despite mental fatigue, but the Normans always lingered six or seven meters from the fork, during which some soldiers were killed, but the reinforcements were much more than the attrition. They could have taken the fork in one go and continued to advance towards the lost fortress, but they were hesitating here, did they have to gather enough strength to make a final decision? Or do you wait for a flanking attack from your allies?

Weiss can stare at people through walls, but he can't peek through people's hearts. With this fork as the boundary, the Union troops who left the fortress and entered the trench were cut into two parts that were not completely isolated - the Norman defensive positions crisscrossed and blocked, blocking a fork, and they could also communicate in a roundabout, but for the Union officers and soldiers, the fog of war here was still in the early stage of exploration, and daring to go deep into the unknown area was tantamount to a young girl taking an online car-hailing ride late at night, completely risking her life!

Between the dilemma, Weiss squinted his eyes again, and forced his spirit to probe the enemy. The number of red frames had increased considerably, and they were still lingering a few meters from the fork, but this time, Weiss saw a large number of green frames at closer range. They are like a warm current to dispel the cold, surging and unstoppable.

Previously, the closest to the fork were the Normans, and as the shouts of the Union soldiers became more and more vigorous, Weiss loudly reminded several nervous Union officers and soldiers around him: "Attention! Our troops are up! Don't hurt your own people! ”

"Are you sure?" The heroic second lieutenant of the Federation Army had just asked this sentence, and above the fork in the trench they were directly opposed, a vigorous figure suddenly appeared. Wearing a Union steel helmet, a full khaki combat uniform, individual armor, and a Grumman rifle with a bayonet in his hand. At the moment of standing on the trench, this person is like a sculpture standing in the square, showing a heroic posture like a god of war!

The Union army attacked the Norman line from the front, and it was an indescribable relief for Weiss and these brave soldiers who broke through the enemy position alone. In an instant, the number of Union soldiers standing in the trench increased exponentially, and some of them were immediately knocked down by the Normans' bullets, some of them were shot down, and some of them jumped down. In the trenches, the sound of gunshots, shouts of killing, and wails mingled together, and the noise became a pot of boiling water......

As hundreds, if not thousands, of Union soldiers stormed the Norman frontline positions, the battle here was immediately one-sided. The Norman soldiers, who shined in the annals of history with their iron-blooded spirit, did not show the courage to fight to the death and never retreat, they fought and retreated in large numbers, some simply rushed back to the second-line positions without looking back, and some were cut off from retreat, and surrendered to the Union Army very happily. Within a quarter of an hour, the Normans had laid out all the fortified defenses southeast of Hoffantis occupied by the federal army, and the door to the old site of the Hoventis military base was opened, but the recapture of those military facilities that were originally used to hoard military supplies, station and train troops did not have an immediate effect on changing the tide of the war, on the contrary, the tens of thousands of Norman troops deployed in Hoffentis, many of whom were experienced elite men, built fortifications around Hoffentis, not only stockpiled a considerable amount of weapons and ammunition, It also pinned on their psychological expectation of stagnation at all levels and the consumption of the federal army step by step. Therefore, the goal of the Union army should not be the heart of Hoffentis, but the Norman line of defense on all sides!

When the battle around the southeastern defense line of Hoffentis came to an end, Weiss did not hesitate to ask his new comrades-in-arms to take him to meet the superior commander, and then he quickly stood in front of a "big man" at the level of a corps commander, and explained the main gains of the undercover enemy camp during this period of time and his analytical thinking at the tactical and strategic level, in a logical and clear way.

After some conversation, Weiss realized that this general Kaisen was a very knowledgeable and rational commander, and he attached great importance to the valuable information he had brought, so he immediately summoned the staff officers to discuss the adjustment of the combat deployment, and then decisively recalled the vanguard troops that were advancing towards the center of Hoffentis, changing the tactics of frontal advance and two-flank response to a frontal feint and a two-flank attack, and beckoned friendly troops to "open their arms" to the enemy of Hoffentis. In order to achieve the operational intention of pinning down the enemy and annihilating the enemy, the corps commander had a telephone conversation with his superior, General Faros, the commander of the left flank of the counterattack, for more than half an hour, and then sent his chief of staff to report to Faros in person with a new battle plan.

This busy time, before I knew it, it was already afternoon. Because General Kaisen took the initiative to make an appointment, Weiss changed into a clean and tidy Union Army combat uniform, and waited outside the camp tent of the corps headquarters with his stomach growling, but fortunately he did not wait in vain. During the dinner, General Casen asked Weiss about his previous situation, and learned that he was originally an exceptional student admitted to the Delefig Senior Staff College, participated in the Battle of Belakaser Pass as an acting captain, and contributed to the victory of the Union Army, but was condemned and punished for a dilemma, demoted to acting second lieutenant, and then unfortunately became a prisoner of war of the Norman army on the battlefield. At the end of the belated lunch, General Casen made an important and fateful decision to Weiss: he sent a letter to the director of the Delafig Higher Staff Academy, suggesting that he grant early graduation to the cadet who had performed very well on the battlefield, Long Clumber Haisen, so that he could join his command as a full-fledged officer. Prior to the completion of this procedure, General Kaiser, in his capacity as Corps Commander, re-conferred the wartime rank of Acting Captain Weiss and appointed him as a staff officer of the Reconnaissance Battalion of the Corps' Guards Regiment.

After a simple but fulfilling lunch, General Kaisen stayed at the corps headquarters for half a day, allowing him to assist the staff officers in continuing to refine and refine the battle plan for the next day. During the conversation, Weiss learned that the counterattack of the federal army was the largest since the outbreak of the war, and that the bigwigs of the Supreme Defense Council were personally in charge, and that three well-known army generals were the commanders of the left, center, and right directions, and that the aviation units not only threw in all the forces outside the Western Front, but also clarified for the first time in the campaign plan the subordinate position of the army to cooperate with the army. It was thanks to this unconventional deployment and the ability to catch up in terms of weaponry technology and scale of investment that the Union Army finally showed the same invincible spirit in the middle and late stages of the last war.

At dusk, Weiss carried the freshly baked letter of appointment and took the motorcycle of the signal corpsman to report to the new unit. Although he experienced a vicious battle and contributed a lot of brain cells to the corps headquarters, he was still in good spirits and looked forward to his military career in another village. On the way, they passed by a group of Norman prisoners of war who were being escorted by Union soldiers, all of whom were disgraced and did not look like they normally had the swaggering appearance of their usual days. Among them, there were several dressed in miscellaneous clothing. The special experience of being trapped in the enemy camp made Weiss take a second look at those handymen, and at this glance, he actually saw a familiar face.

So, he patted the motorcyclist on the shoulder: "Trouble stop the car, man!" ”
