Chapter 672: Infantry Engagement 1

"That's it, Moltke Jr. is not a mediocre hand, he knows that even if he sends more troops, he will not be able to effectively control such a long front, he will only control a few points, and then wait for us to fight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and then Mackensen stabbed us in the back again. ”

"Assign all the armored vehicles to the infantry regiment in front, and Schmidt you command the rapid corps to launch a counterattack, attacking in depth and occupying the original Prussian cordoned line. Also, don't expect too much from the Air Force, watch your wings, and take out Mackensen's fast corps first if you spot them. 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 made into a flying heavy artillery unit aimed at fixed and surface targets, and it was okay to intercept the baggage convoy, but want to play with close battlefield support? Let's wash and sleep. Therefore, when designing the Fast Legion, the prince's request was to build them into a synthetic legion that could deal with more than 90% of the situation, which of course included fighting field battles with the opponent's mobile corps!

The Bavarian Army has finally moved! Infantry units in the main line of defense began to move into the starting positions, long-range artillery and heavy mortars also focused on the enemy in front of them, and selected squads of spearheads armed with mortars, machine guns, submachine guns, and explosives ready to counterattack, while behind them were self-propelled guns mounted on half-tracks and armored vehicles armed with two-pounder guns.

A large number of automatic weapons, light artillery, direct-aim medium-caliber artillery support, sappers work together, it is the prototype of the storm commando in the later World War 1, to the greatest extent to improve the synthesis and firepower of the top troops, the infantry unit responsible for the counterattack is also 4 battalions, but they concentrated all their firepower on a company responsible for the breakthrough!

Fedor. Feng. Lieutenant Bock 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 that after occupying a new position, the first wave of the opponent's counterattack was the most dangerous, so as soon as he entered the position, Lieutenant Bock immediately began to arrange defensive positions, considering the opponent's artillery superiority and air strikes, Bock gave up the way of deploying automatic firearms and mortars in the frontal concentration, he concentrated more machine guns on the side positions and anti-slope positions, and almost all the soldiers were busy, expanding the original positions with the sapper shovels in their hands, Machine gun and mortar bunkers were arranged, and three 77mm rapid-fire guns assigned to the battalion were deployed at the rear of the position for use as long-range suppressive fire. The entire defense line relied on the terrain to form a U-shaped pocket array. Most of the machine guns and mortars were deployed on either side of the direction in which the enemy might attack, and on the bottom of the U-shape were three rapid-fire guns.

"If the other side has no armored units, with this position, we can hold off the attack of two battalions." Bock was very confident in his defensive line, which was flanked by hills and bushes, which were not suitable for a large-scale attack, at least not in vehicles, and it was even more difficult for medium-caliber artillery to accompany the attack here. The only suitable direction for the attack is in the open field in the middle, but it has been sealed off by its own firepower.

"It's time for those Protestants to the north to see what real infantry tactics are." After smoking the last cigarette of the day's ration, Herman set out with his squad, and instead of choosing an open field that was easier to spread, they chose to attack the opponent's left flank, which was a small hill, although it limited the deployment of the troops, but the mortars and the 2-pounder guns assigned to his two armored vehicles could suppress most of the frontal firepower, and as for the remaining hastily constructed bunkers and skirmish lines, Herman thought that his elite infantry could fully cope with it.

Herman's squad was no more than two platoons in strength, but it was equipped with an independent engineer squad and no less than eight light machine guns, and the eight machine gun crews quickly scattered in a staggered manner, and the three-person squad took advantage of the terrain and smoke grenades to pass through the smoke, and three or four combat groups formed a squad, like an open fishing net, trying to pounce on the opponent. The suppression of the 2-pounder guns and mortars came as planned, and the straight or curved trajectory of the shells flew towards the imaginary target. Under the sound of artillery fire, the infantry on both sides remained rational and silent, they knew that the final battle that really decided the outcome was at the distance of the last 200 meters to 300 meters, and no matter how far it went, the effect would be very bad.

Sudden protrusions. The machine gunners in a bunker finally couldn't hold back and opened fire on a group of blurred figures in the distance, and a series of fiery snakes made of bullets swept back and forth against the ground, completely locking the passage between the two mountain cols.

"Pretty smart." Herman carefully observed the position of the opposing side, the machine gun bunker was flanked by skirmishers, and was located on the north side of the hill, and walking from the bare hill would be taken care of by the opposing mortars. The opponent's machine-gun bunker was obviously considered to deal with mortars, judging by Herman's experience, it should be covered with logs, and then covered with rammed earth, although the building is very sloppy, but it is no problem to block 60 mortars, and the frontal passage is very narrow, and it is a little difficult to pass. Armored vehicles can't drive here either.

"We attack the skirmish line on the left." Hermann pondered for a moment before giving the order to attack, and after leaving two machine-gun crews in front of him, the rest of the men began to detour from the flank, while on the relatively open flank, the Bavarian and Prussian infantry engaged in what was considered a textbook infantry offensive and defensive operation.

The MG07 machine gun equipped with the Prussian army kept roaring, with the help of a stable sled quad box, the experienced Prussian shooters hit hard and accurately, the Prussians were not stupid, they knew that the other side would attack the side when the front was narrow and could not be deployed, so a platoon of soldiers and 2 machine guns were deployed on the side, after clearing the firing range and marking the distance, the Prussian machine gunners could easily suppress any single target using optical instruments and firing meters.

Like the dragon's head of a two-headed dragon, the two machine guns spewed out fiery snakes in an attempt to expel those who came close to them. The opposing side is scattered, the front is a bit large compared to the two machine guns, and the non-commissioned officer in charge of the machine gun team must find the target who poses the greatest threat to him through the smoke screen - the opponent's machine gun team. Mortars and grenadiers are not a threat here, first of all, because the machine gun crew is located relatively far back, and relying on the mountainous terrain, there is no firing range at all for curved weapons with too large angles!
