"Can we choose the weapons here at will?" Chen Tian asked, looking at the various weapons in the warehouse.

"Of course!" The instructor on the side replied, "I'm here to remind you that you'd better choose the right weapon for your tactics. ”

"And what weapon did our opponent choose?"

"Well, I can't tell you," the instructor smiled and shook his head, "but you can figure out how to gather this information yourself." ”

Chen Tian turned his head to look at Thomas, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Thomas ran away.

"Hmm......" Chen Tian thought for a moment.

"We want two 6-pounder infantry guns, 6 Maxim machine guns, 300 rifles, 100 grenades."

"Grenades? Very few people use this kind of thing anymore, so we don't have a lot of grenades for exercises, and we can give you a maximum of 50. ”

"It's okay, we want as much as we want!"

After Chen Tian was promoted to the third grade, the first thing he did was to participate in the annual third and fourth grade drills, and the two sides were completely composed of third and fourth grade students. In recent years, the Kaiser and the General Staff have been invited to watch the exercises, so everyone wants to behave well in front of His Majesty the Emperor, especially the graduating fourth-year students. Due to Chentian's previous outstanding performance, he was chosen as a commander by the third-year cadets. Just now, Chen Tian was taking them to the warehouse to pick up the weapons used in the exercise.

There are 332 students in the third year and 340 students in the fourth year.

"I've already inquired." While Chentian, Ollie, and a few other trainees were studying the map of the exercise area, Thomas ran in with a happy face.

"Huh?"

"The fourth-graders were selected six 6-pounder infantry guns, two 12-pounder infantry guns and four Maxim machine guns." Thomas paused and continued: "According to the records of the academy, the result of the last ten third-year and fourth-year confrontations is one win and nine losses in the third grade, which is an absolute disadvantage. ”

"Oh! Thomas, thank you! Well done! Chen Tian felt that Thomas was becoming more and more talented in intelligence work.

"Alright! Then let's arrange it like this......" Tatsuten drew quickly on the map.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Black smoke rose from the position of the third grade, and although the artillery shells used for the exercise had no shrapnel and the warheads contained less powerful black fire, one could still feel the ground shaking suddenly.

"Not surprisingly, it seems that the other side has adopted the current popular idea of "artillery duel", concentrating artillery to suppress our firepower. "Chen Tian and most of the people squatted in the deep trenches, leaving only a few people to observe through periscopes.

"Tell Ollie to start moving towards the intended position!" Chen Tian called the liaison officer to arrange.

"Your Majesty, look! The fourth-graders carried out the excellent traditions of our Prussian army well, and their artillery fire had completely suppressed the opposing side. It looks like they're going to go on the offensive soon! "Dean of the Academy, Feng. Duke Henman said softly in the ear of Wilhelm II.

"Not necessarily! Their opponent's artillery hasn't fired at all! "Wilhelm II's eyes still did not leave his binoculars, and until now he could only see from the telescope that one side was desperately pouring shells, but it did not seem to have much effect, because the trenches on the other side were dug very deep, and there were a few strange dirt bags in the middle of the trenches, and it seemed that there were machine gun fire points below." The tactics on the third-year cadet's side are strange, but the firepower is well hidden! Interesting! ”

"Your Majesty's name! It's just that as far as I know, there are only two 6-pounder infantry guns on the third-grade side! ”

"What? Only two 6-pounder guns? Their opponents had not only several 6-pounder guns, but also two 12-pounder guns on their positions. Are they, their commander a fool? Or did you deliberately equip them with only this bit of artillery? Wilhelm II lowered his binoculars and looked at Duke Henman in amazement.

"Your Majesty, the weapons are all freely chosen by them, and we do not impose restrictions on the caliber and number of artillery, not to mention that the commander of the third-year students is your nephew, Gigi. His Royal Highness Prince William! ”

"Oh? It's him! Wilhelm II held up the telescope again, "He seems to have entered the Königsberg Military Academy at the age of 7, and he is already 16 years old this year!" I haven't seen him in years! He's okay here! ”

"Back to Your Majesty! His Royal Highness is very intelligent and hardworking, and he is excellent in all courses. It's just that sometimes the head is full of weird ideas! ”

"Oh...... Let's see what cards he will play today! ”

In the distance, the artillery bombardment had stopped on the side of the fourth-graders, and the attacking force of two hundred men had begun to line up in two echelons to prepare for the attack. In view of Chentian's masterpiece during the last exercise, they left a hundred men to protect the artillery position, and arranged 4 heavy machine guns on the four corners of the artillery position.

"Everyone, prepare!" Chen Tian gave an order, and the people in the trenches poked their heads out of the trenches, raised their rifles and prepared to shoot, and the machine gunners in the four dirt bag bunkers also loaded the heavy machine guns with bullet belts.

The attacking queue was getting closer and closer, and tension was in the air. When the distance is only five hundred meters......

"Fire!"

In an instant, the sound of machine gun and rifle fire pierced the silence, and the attacking side began to run forward.

But when they were only fifty meters away from the trench, they found that there was a wide trench in front of the trench, although it was not deep, but they found that they were suppressed and unable to move when they entered the trench - climbing out of the trench meant being exposed to the guns of the other side at close range, and according to the rules of the exercise, they would be immediately "killed"!

"Quick, signal! Ask our artillery to bombard the opponent's position! "The commander of the attacking side hiding in the trench had to let the communicator use the flare.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

But this time the black plume of smoke rose in the artillery position on the fourth-grade side.

At the edge of the woods, about 2 kilometers to the right of the artillery position, Ollie smiled. According to Tatsuten's plan, Ollie and fifty other third-year students quietly circled around a forest to the right of the opponent's artillery position with their only two infantry guns. In this direction, the opposing side arranged two machine guns to prevent the opposing side from sending troops to storm the artillery positions from the direction of the woods. However, now it is two infantry guns that are shelling them at long distances, and the machine guns are powerless.

"What's going on? Where did the other side attack us from? The artillery commander looked at the opposing position with his telescope in amazement, but there was no smoke from the artillery or artillery fire, and their 6-pounder guns could not have attacked themselves from any further distance.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The artillery positions were shelled again, and this time finally everyone noticed the smoke rising from the edge of the woods.

"Over there! They are in the woods to our right! ”

"Quick! Cannon turn! The artillery commander shouted loudly, only to find that his position was already in disarray.

"Quick, everyone rush after me!" In desperation, the commander had no choice but to pick up a rifle and rush over with the dozens of soldiers who remained behind. Unfortunately, when they were halfway through, the two machine guns brought by Ollie opened fire.

"Click......

When they rushed in front of Ollie from a distance of a thousand meters, they found Ollie waiting for them with a smile. Even if they were not "killed", only two infantry guns that had run out of shells were waiting for them, and at this time their own artillery positions had already been made a mess.

The fourth-graders' assault team was still suppressed in the trench, and then dozens of grenades were thrown from the trench on Chentian's side, "blasting" them all over the body with paint, and "killed" countless people......

According to the judgment of the judges of the exercise, the third-grade side won, with less than fifty "casualties", 90% of the fourth-grade side was wiped out, and the rest were captured.

Wilhelm II put down his binoculars, nodded, called the guards, and commanded: "Go and tell the prince that today I will have dinner with him!" ”
