Throughout the ages, there have been similarities and differences in the subject, causes, forms, tactics, and armaments of war. Some battles are simple and rough, with both sides rushing to the top and the stronger one winning; Some battles can be called art, deceitful and courageous; In some battles, one or more parties have poor tactics and flaws, and in a ridiculous way, they dictate the fate of a war or even a number of nations......

In the vast mountains and forests north of Lorraine, the guerrilla advance fighters under Weiss's command did not resort to the unskilled tactic of rushing forward, and when they saw the signal of attack, they rushed forward from their hidden positions. Because there was no "Daredevil" leader like Weiss, each combat detachment selected 10-15 fighters with deaf ears and eyes to carry out reconnaissance, followed by 40-50 elite commandos armed with semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns and spinach bullets, the third echelon was the main attacking force of more than 300 people and equipped with several mortar groups, and the fourth echelon was the reserve and medical teams. Once the enemy's traces are captured, the reconnaissance force does not immediately attack, but some people probe the enemy's situation, and some people contact the rear team, and only after the elite commando team enters the attack position, will they carry out fire reconnaissance, and then formulate corresponding tactical strategies such as frontal feint attack + roundabout attack or frontal assault + flank containment according to the enemy's number, position, and formation.

Unlike the balanced detachments of the Union guerrilla advance detachments, the Normans sent search teams of different sizes, the largest ones were five or six hundred men, equivalent to a regular infantry battalion, and the small ones were only one hundred and twenty men, serving only half a company. When searching in the mountains and forests, the Normans moved in several squads in front and the brigade followed behind, a configuration somewhat similar to "wild boar foraging", that is, two large pigs with a group of small pigs, except that the "little pigs" with weaker combat effectiveness were sent to fight in the front. In terms of weapons, these Norman units still use bolt-action rifles, but the proportion of equipment has decreased significantly compared to the early stage of the war, and the corresponding replacement of light machine guns, submachine guns, shotguns and other firearms with higher fire output. In addition to conventional throwing grenades, they were also equipped with portable magazine-type cannons and projectile light guns with similar performance to mortars. It can be said that the Norman army still has a certain advantage over the federal army in terms of equipment of infantry combat units of the same level, and this advantage in firepower is even greater in the face of the guerrilla advance forces, which are mainly lightly equipped. Therefore, a guerrilla advance detachment of three or four hundred men can catch the enemy's search team and slam it down, and it is very difficult for the enemy's search team to take advantage of it -- if the surprise attack fails, the combat detachment will quickly disengage from combat contact, find another target, or join forces with other combat detachments on its side......

The fighting in the mountains and forests intensified, and because the ground signals were as chaotic as the previous battles, the Norman cruisers had no way to start in the sky, and judging from the battle situation, the battle strategy formulated by Weiss with Lieutenant Colonel Lear and other officers before the war was resolutely implemented by the detachments, and in addition to the suddenness of the attack and a certain psychological advantage, the guerrilla advance force here held a certain initiative, both in whole and in part. However, the battlefield is like a field, and grasping the initiative does not mean that this battle can be won smoothly. Except for a few Norman units that were attacked, most of them still maintained strong combat resilience, so that the "bayonet assault" of the guerrilla advance detachments could often only hurt the epidermis and could hardly penetrate the enemy's position. In addition, the Norman army at Camp Valle numbered two thousand and was armed with chariots and artillery, making it a formidable reserve. The longer the stalemate between the two sides became, the more detrimental it was to the guerrilla advance force.

After observing the hill for a while, Weiss couldn't sit still. As a competent commander, he should be in charge of the overall situation from beginning to end, and make arrangements based on the situation, but in such a night battle and fog battle in front of him, no one can play a better role in breaking the formation than him. So, he quickly approached the nearest combat detachment with the mobile command headquarters, found the commander of the detachment, taught him the opportune time, and then personally put on the battle - he asked for two mortar groups, two machine gun groups and ten assault men who carried double jack shells, and he himself used two guns and four bullets as usual, looked at the weakness of the enemy in front of him, led the team to touch the past, first pulled out the enemy's firepower point with the rapid fire of the mortar group, and then suppressed the fire with light machine guns, and then led the assaulters to approach the enemy position, threw a wave of thunder, and forcibly opened the breakthrough, Before the enemy had time to fill his position, he waved his twin guns and rushed into the enemy line......

The forward assault was successful, and the soldiers who followed quickly pressed forward, not giving the enemy a chance to retreat calmly. After changing the magazine twice and throwing mines three times with precision, Weiss had already penetrated the enemy line, and immediately shouted in Norman "Surrender or kill, disarm and save your life". And that's not all, he stared at a few enemy soldiers using machine guns, threw the last of the pineapple bullets he carried behind them, and after the explosion, snatched the weapon from the dying enemy with a cheetah-like movement, first shot the machine gun shells in the magazines at the Norman soldiers on the flank, then changed the magazines, turned his head and opened fire on another group of enemy troops in the direction of the valley. Machine shells flew a thousand feet through the woods, knocking a group of Norman officers and soldiers who had not yet met the enemy on their backs. The surviving enemy counterattacked in the direction of the machine-shelled attack, blocking the retreat of the friendly forces. The enemy search team, which was attacked by Weiss, fell into a situation where the center bloomed and was beaten in front and back, and the collapse came as scheduled. Of the more than 100 soldiers, only a third fell in the battle, and more than half of the casualties occurred during the breakup, and only two out of ten were able to escape.

Braving the enemy's bullets and bullets, he led the team to a beautiful piercing assault battle, and pulled out one of the enemy's "small teeth" with a small number of casualties, Weiss then stopped to replenish ammunition and observe the battlefield situation. In the face of the attack of the guerrilla advance force on all fronts, the Norman army was a little caught off guard at first, but they were not completely unaware of this situation, and the small search team fought and retreated, and the large search team was on the spot to fortify the defense, which was a reasonable means of response, and this kind of response at basically the same pace was obviously explained by the commanders before the war. In order to truly shake the enemy's front, it is true that there is some positive effect in destroying some of the enemy's units by using the tactics of rapid mobility to make a few dumplings and destroy some of the enemy's units in a structured manner, but at this stage, the key is to break the enemy's "big teeth" -- to seek a regional breakthrough from the enemy's large search team.

Weiss then sent the heralds to the adjacent combat detachment and asked them to attack the enemy to the northeast, and then let his combat detachment continue to rain fire about 3,000 feet to the southeast using mortars and captured enemy machine guns. Finally, he reassembled his men, organized a temporary assault team, led them through the gap between the two enemy forces, and quietly circled behind the enemy's large search party that was preparing to focus on the attack. In field combat, the Norman soldiers did not have time to dig bunkers, but used the undulating terrain in the mountains and forests to fight, natural ravines, depressions seem to be good, but in some special circumstances, the protective effect is still much worse than conventional bunkers such as foxholes and trenches, for example, the three or five soldiers who are crawling on the edge of the ravines may be thrown into the ravines by a pineapple bullet to overturn out, and the machine gun group that dodges the bullets in the low-lying area may also be reimbursed by the opponent's mortar shells or pineball bullets thrown by individual soldiers.

After a wave of thunder, the front was filled with gunsmoke, and Weiss led the team to advance. At this moment, an artificial sun suddenly appeared above the mountain forest, and the dazzling light dispelled the darkness, and even penetrated the morning fog and gunsmoke, making people's vision difficult to adapt to for a while. Weiss hurriedly stopped behind a large tree, and when his eyes adjusted to the intensity of the light, he found that when the light continued, the visible distance in the mountain forest increased to about sixty feet. Although the battlefield was still foggy from the Norman ships, and the gunners could not distinguish friend from enemy through the hazy figures below, for the Norman soldiers on the ground, the visual distance of 60 feet gave them more reaction time - it took about two seconds for the guerrilla advance team to rush through this distance if they were sprinting at extreme speed, and even longer if the enemy was condescending on a hill, or if the two sides were separated by obstacles such as ravines and depressions. Not only that, but when an opponent threw a spinball bullet from 60 feet away, the Norman soldiers might not have had time to react when the visual range was extremely bad, but now they had a chance to dodge and improve the accuracy of their counterattacks.

Weiss looked up and saw that the blinding glow was coming from several light sources. They are constantly moving, and the lighting is unstable, apparently from enemy artillery flares. Judging from the ammunition configuration of the enemy cruisers, the Norman cruiser in the sky has hundreds of flares, which can provide a quarter of an hour or more of strong light for the battlefield, helping their ground troops to survive this difficult period from the tactical and psychological level, and the Norman artillery in the valley camp is estimated to have reserves in this regard.

The battlefield environment changed, and the suppressed Norman troops increased their firepower suddenly, and the dense artillery shells not only caused casualties to the guerrilla advance team, but also increased their resistance to advance. At this time, Weiss did not have time to calculate how much the enemy's method of throwing flares would have a countervailing effect on the morning fog factor, he led the assault team to the enemy's nose, either continue the assault or retreat decisively, otherwise the life will be fleeting, and then the enemy will be trapped here until it is destroyed.

Quickly observing and judging the situation, Weiss waved his hand and said, "Brothers, let's go, everyone follow closely!" ”

They stood up and moved forward, the Normans had realized the threat from the flank, and although the gunfire had not yet reached the level of splitting the head and covering the face, it was certainly not suitable for a straight line assault at this time. Weiss combined with the terrain conditions, ran out of the ecstasy S-shaped position in this woodland, and led this lean commando team to the enemy, he personally shot, directly threw the pinefish bullet directly at the feet of the Norman machine gunners, and the successive explosions not only killed and injured many Norman officers and soldiers, but also shook the enemy's search team's position, making their originally stable temporary defense area shaky.
