Standing on the somewhat dilapidated position, Feng Laosi looked at the referee team members, and said to the translator with a dark face: "Sue them, I know, but my machine gunner has not been killed, according to our regulations, when the enemy shelling begins, the Makqin heavy machine gun team must immediately retreat to the concealment department, and wait for the enemy's shelling to completely end before returning to the heavy machine gun position to check the heavy machine gun losses." ”

"Yes, sir. There were no losses in your machine gun crew, but four Maxim heavy machine guns were determined by the referee to be destroyed by enemy artillery and rendered unusable. A colonel of the referee team finally came to a conclusion with a black face, in fact, he and the entire referee team felt very embarrassed, two rounds of artillery bombardment before the attack, thousands of shells were fired, and the result was only four heavy machine guns, and the personnel of the people hid in all kinds of anti-artillery holes without even hurting a single hair.

Thousands of shells in exchange for four heavy machine guns and some false machine gun nests, as a soldier of the empire, he has not made such a ridiculous judgment, but he has visited those novel anti-artillery holes, those anti-artillery holes are defensive enough to withstand the direct hit of heavy artillery of more than 100 millimeters, he has not dared to disobey the chaotic judgment, on the one hand, the personnel of Archduke Ferdinand are also monitoring the entire exercise, on the other hand, for the honor of the emperor, he is also allowed to do so, it is okay to lose but to cheat in order to win, Once it gets out, it will be extremely damaging to the honor of the Emperor ** team, so he can only pray for the guy who attacked, hoping that he can withstand such a ridiculous judgment.

After checking the losses of the second shelling, Feng Laosi and the members of the referee team withdrew from their positions, and Sterz's troops began the next stage of the offensive.

At that time, the barrage attack had not yet appeared, that is, the artillery was used to blow up a line of fire in front of the attacking troops, and gradually advanced, and the attacking troops followed the barrage hundreds of meters behind, so that the attack channel could be opened, and the barrage could blow up the minefields and anti-infantry obstacles in front of the enemy's position, so as to facilitate the infantry to advance by surprise, and at the same time, the craters from the shells could also be used as temporary shelters for the infantry.

On the other hand, the smoke and dust formed by the explosion of the shells can obscure the view of the defender, making it impossible to judge whether there is an attack and the scale of the attack.

In modern times, barrage attack is the most basic tactic of infantry and artillery coordination, but before the invention of rapid-fire guns, the backward shooting accuracy and slow firing speed of the anti-artillery could not form a barrage attack at all.

When the cannon is fired, due to the strong recoil, the gun will be pushed out of the running position, and if you want to start the gun from the new, you must push the gun back to the gun position from the new and then aim again, so that the cannon is generally only used as direct aiming fire and probability shooting, and the accurate indirect shooting method using the angle measurement method can not be widely used at all.

Think about it, set up a cannon to aim at the enemy, follow a group of people to push the heavy artillery back to the gun position, re-measure it to make the gun zero, and then calculate the angle to adjust the angle of the gun, and then fire the next shot, and then continue to repeat the exchange, it is estimated that the shells have not fired a few rounds, and those who are responsible for the calculation will be tired and vomit blood.

After the advent of rapid-fire guns with hydraulic stationing mechanisms, the disadvantages of these shooting disappeared, and the artillery could spit out shells without moving, even if you want to adjust the direction and distance when firing, you only need to adjust the angle of the gun, and the shells will accurately shoot to the expected position, and there is no need to move the gun to start anew.

As a result, Stelz's artillery could not provide effective cover when the infantry attacked, and it would not have formed the kind of incident in later generations where the infantry stepped on the explosive point of the shells to rush forward, but at this time his infantry also lined up the charging formation, and under the cover of the 37-mm five-barreled rapid-fire gun, they launched a dense charge in waves.

It's just that he has learned a lesson, and now his army's intensive charge has been adjusted, and the way of attacking in a horizontal row has not changed, but the distance between the soldiers and the soldiers has been stretched to about three meters, and the distance between the horizontal platoon and the horizontal platoon has also been stretched to more than three meters. They will be responsible for following up on the attack after the loss of the forward troops or the opening of the breach, forming a continuous offensive mode, which is commonly known as the reserve.

The 37-mm five-barreled rapid-fire gun is worthy of the infantry's nightmare, accompanied by the continuous sound of "hoo hoo hoo blah" countless flowering shells accurately hit Feng Laosi and their surface position, making a rumbling roar, you can't hear how many explosions there are at all, you can only hear the roaring explosions one after another, pieces of smoke and dust mixed with a little fire light on the entire position one after another.

At the same time, the Makqin heavy machine gun position set up a few hundred meters behind the infantry company fired a long whip composed of bullets, frantically spurring Feng Laosi on their position.

Sterz looked at the position that had been largely submerged in fire and smoke through his observation binoculars, and a slight smile appeared on his face, the boys did a good job, especially the 37mm five-barrel rapid-fire gun was surprisingly effective in firing at close range, using the accurate fire of the 37mm rapid-fire gun to cover the infantry close enough to facilitate the infantry to attack, and at the same time to destroy the pesky barbed wire in front of the trenches.

"Andri, give me the order to get as close to the enemy's position as possible before launching a charge, and to advance to within two hundred meters of the enemy's line while the enemy's artillery is unable to play, and to order thirty mm guns, don't stop, to keep firing, cover the infantry to advance to within two hundred meters of the enemy's line, and after the infantry begins to charge, the thirty-seven mm guns will shoot extended, and give me a hard bombardment of the top of the hill, and turn it into a sea of fire for me, I hate their heavy artillery, I don't want to hear them roar. ”

Andriy agreed and ran to give the order, but Sterz didn't expect how much trouble his order would bring to the logistics department, the rate of fire of the Hatch Chase 37mm five-barreled rapid-fire gun was 60 rounds per minute, and if you wanted to cover the infantry to advance close enough, you had to continue firing for at least ten minutes, that is, each gun needed 600 rounds of flowering shells, and the standing ammunition base of each gun was at most 300 rounds, which also included more than half of the solid bullets, and one of his orders made the entire logistics jump, hurriedly rushed to the front line to urgently replenish the flowering ammunition of the 37-mm rapid-fire gun.

Fortunately, there was enough ammunition in the exercise site to save his life, otherwise there would not be so much ammunition for him to squander, but his attack also completely wiped out the 37-millimeter flowering bullets at the exercise site.

The continuous shelling was surprisingly effective, the barbed wire in front of the trenches flew into the sky, and the criss-crossing trenches were also lost in the shelling, turning into shallow trenches filled with floating earth, and the broken machine-gun nests made of reinforced concrete were like dead fish on the beach in the rumbling explosions, glowing alone with a cold white light.

Stelz's infantry had successfully reached the charging line, and the referee unanimously decided that there would be no chance of counterattack under such dense fire, and as soon as his 37mm guns began to extend the ridge line of the hill pack, the first phase of the attacking side was over, and now they were withdrawn and waited for the enemy to counterattack according to the damage.

The counterattack came quickly, and the first to fly out from behind the ridge line of the hill were the shells of the 81-millimeter mortars, which arced in the air with a terrible whistle, and fell on the gun positions of the 37-millimeter rapid-fire guns with a terrible whistle, and exploded with a bang, bringing up one after another fireballs with smoke and dust to rush into the air, and shallow craters with a depth of half a meter and a radius of one or two meters were formed on the ground.

Countless small black dots flew out from behind the ridge of the hill, and those small black dots whistled and smashed in front of the columnar infantry, blasting the junction between the horizontal infantry array and the columnar infantry into dust, forming an impenetrable wall of fire.

At the same time, the whole hill was like a fire-breathing monster that had awakened, spraying the flames of death from all the hidden parts of the body at the same time, countless burst weapons sprayed bullets, and the long red light formed in the muzzle of the gun flickered intermittently, which was the light that represented death, and the infantry who rushed to the front of the position simply rushed up to die.

Seeing this from the telescope, Stelz's binoculars slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, he closed his eyes in pain, lost, completely lost.

He didn't have to think about the rest of the matter, after the shells that flew out from behind the ridge line of the mountain in an arc knocked out the 37-mm artillery, they would bombard the 75-mm heavy guns that were fired at close range, and after the slow-moving heavy artillery was knocked out, the 75-mm heavy artillery of the enemy that was liberated could calmly blow all his troops into ashes, and no one could be lucky enough to survive, and the enemy's rapid-fire artillery combining far, medium and near would turn every qiē into dust.

Sterz suddenly had a feeling of being fooled, like an adult holding a lollipop in his hand, tempting himself to say, "Child, you can eat it by jumping, but when you jump up obediently, you find that this is a scam at all, a scam to amuse yourself."

It's time for this farce to add jokes to others, the exercise is a farce at all, and I am the joker in this farce.
