Chapter 61: Assault Corps (Revision)

Accompanied by Captain Miller, General Xiafei came to the watchtower that had been prepared for a long time, although General Xiafei had already formed a certain opinion in many of Captain Miller's reports and was mentally prepared. But when the drill really began, his hand holding the telescope still couldn't help but tremble in surprise.

In the sky, there were Benlei-type attack planes passing by in a V-shaped formation. As they swept past the enemy positions with a roar, there seemed to be a flash of lightning.

In a series of explosions, walls of fire rose up in the position. In the huge explosion field, debris, dust, and flames were raised in clusters on the enemy positions.

When the plane swept sideways over the enemy's trench line again at a fairly fast speed, the 12-kilogram incendiary bombs dragged a long line of flames tens of meters long in the ground, and the burning effect was shocking!

Subsequently, the attack aircraft turned their targets to enemy artillery positions, which they were to suppress with 12.7 mm machine guns from the aircraft, which signaled an imminent ground attack.

Almost as the aircraft attack ended, a large number of armored combat vehicles of various shapes lined up on the ground to attack in formation, and the infantry launched an assault on the enemy's trench line.

At the front is an infantry assault vehicle armed with two 12.7mm machine guns, and an infantry fighting vehicle armed with a Mark machine gun and flamethrower.

The front of each tank is also equipped with a large roller, which is used to break through barbed wire obstacles, and is also used to open roads in minefields and barbed wire in front of enemy positions.

Fortunately, there will be no anti-tank mines, and the battlefield is really a paradise for tracked armored fighting vehicles!

Soon, with the support of three 75-mm cannons and vehicle-mounted mortars from the air and the battalion, the armored fighting vehicles of the infantry approached the trenches of the enemy positions.

"Such a chariot can protect soldiers from mass destruction during the attack, and when they break through to the enemy's position, I believe that the assault infantry equipped with close and dense firepower will undoubtedly be very powerful!"

Captain Miller whispered to General Xia Fei's side, his words full of pride.

At the same time as they spoke, armored assault vehicles of the infantry came to the front of the enemy front.

The flamethrower mounted on the vehicle spewed out a fire dragon of nearly 60 meters, and the large-caliber machine gun fired at the enemy's fire point in a similar manner.

As the chariot broke into the enemy position, groups of soldiers jumped out of the cart and into the trench and began to clear the trench of remnants.

"General, the Mauser semi-automatic pistols and shotguns used by our assault forces cannot resist in close combat, regardless of the rate of fire, power, or density of firepower."

At first, Captain Miller was able to understand the need to equip the Mauser pistol, after all, those semi-automatic weapons could provide enough dense firepower at close range. But he didn't quite understand the use of American-made, barrel shotguns, which were only prototypes for civilian shotguns.

It can be used in the trenches when the shotgun arrives. Neither the rate of fire nor the intensity of the fire is comparable to that of a rifle.

At that time, rifles used high-power rifle cartridges of about 7.62 mm caliber, which had a strong penetrating ability and a long range. But when firing at close range, due to excessive stabilization, as well as a high muzzle velocity. Often, after hitting the target, it will pass through the body, but only one bullet hole is left, and even the soldier who has been shot can continue to fight.

However, shotguns are different in that if a single shot is hit within 50 meters, more than a dozen wounds of different sizes may be added to the body at the same time, and the wound caused will immediately stop the attack.

"Fuck, that's a powerful stop!"

The so-called cessation effect, simply put, is the effect of the warhead to make the adversary incapacitated. If it is bombarded by a scattering bomb at a distance of fifty meters, its stopping effect can be imagined.

General Xia Fei nodded affirmatively, until now he had not thought of what kind of position could resist the attack of such an army, especially the role of those "Benlei-type attack aircraft".

At the beginning of the battle, they are able to take out the opponent's artillery first, so that the infantry will only face machine guns when attacking.

And the machine guns, apparently, could not pose any effective threat to these 15-mm steel behemoths, which was once the commander of the sappers, Xia Fei knew very well.

"Such assault regiments, each battalion has a mortar platoon, and each platoon has large-caliber machine guns and Makmi machine guns in the combat vehicles, providing intensive close-range fire support.

The vehicle-mounted flamethrower with a range of 60 meters, which was twenty meters longer than the effective range of the flamethrower carried by the German manpower, was simply the nemesis of the pillbox.

Oh my God, I don't know how that Don came up with it! And this force is what I want, and with them, my mobile defense strategy can be fully successful! ”

Thinking of this, General Xia Fei put down the binoculars in his hand and looked back at the staff officer who was following beside him, and Captain Miller, who was acting as a commentator on the side.

"Very well, Captain Miller, the new assault regiment you have formed has created a new kind of unit for our French army. It can be used as the main force of the assault in an ordinary infantry division. Very good, Captain Miller, you did a great job! Given what you've achieved, I don't think this captain's epaulettes are too good for you! ”

As he spoke, the staff officer who followed General Xia Fei handed him a box. General Xia Fei took it and stuffed it into Captain Miller's hand.

Miller, who had become a major, flushed with excitement on his face at this time, and he took the box while standing upright and swearing in a loud voice.

"Fight for the freedom of France!"

"Miller, my dear child, from now on you will be a major, for the time being you will still need to lead the Hunters, and I believe that in the near future it will be the first cavalry assault division of our French army. In addition......"

The staff officer sitting next to General Xia Fei took another box in his hand.

"Also, Mr. Major, in recognition of Foster. Second Lieutenant De Leon has done an excellent job in forming the Hunter Commando Regiment, and we will promote him to the rank of lieutenant, and I think it would be better for you to give him this in your own hands! ”

When the exercise ended, General Xia Fei met with Tang Yunyang again. Although his mysterious origin still haunts Xia Fei, for the time being, he is a Chinese businessman worth trying to work with.
