When the defenders under the command of Xiao Zhenlei were ready, the attackers under the mountain were almost ready, and under Mud's order, the attacking troops began to attack the mountain, because there were no heavy weapons such as artillery, the momentum of the battle was much smaller than normal exercises and real battles.

"You two keep an eye on the heavy machine gun on the hill and kill it as soon as it appears and fires! The heavy machine-gun crew followed behind the frontal attacking troops and suppressed the defenders on the hill! ”

After the offensive began, Mudder gave such an order to the men and horses below according to the deployment of Xiao Zhenlei's previous command, but he forgot that Xiao Zhenlei's previous deployment had a strict order, and he had to knock out the opponent's heavy machine gun first, and his own heavy machine gun could suppress the opponent's firepower, and he forgot this order.

When Xiao Zhen Lei Tong Guò telescope saw that the attacking troops under the mountain had entered the range of 400 meters, he immediately ordered: "Listen to me, the enemy has entered the best shooting range, aim for me and then fight, don't waste the bullets, don't say that you can't hit, just practice marksmanship, you must pay attention to concealing yourself when aiming and shooting, don't expose your body parts too much, give me a shot!" ”

After all, defensive battles are not snipers, and these German soldiers are not snipers, it is impossible to ask them to shoot a shot to change a place, defensive battles require fierce firepower and a long duration, if each soldier shoots a shot to change places, it will lose strong firepower and continuity, which will allow the attacking troops to seize the opportunity to rush to the position in one fell swoop for white-knuckle combat.

There was a continuous burst of gunfire from the position, which was much smaller and less continuous, but the casualties inflicted on the attacking troops down the hill were much greater, after all, the hit rate of shooting at random and shooting again after careful aim was very different.

"Report, my frontal attack troops suffered heavy casualties, and this time the hit rate of the defenders has increased significantly!" The signal corps ran in and reported to Mulder.

Mulder frowned and used the binoculars to see the situation on the position, listening to the sparse gunfire, but it caused greater casualties than before, he understood that Xiao Zhenlei was letting the defenders practice marksmanship, this kind of dispatch in the real battlefield The two armies are facing each other and the battle is very fierce, and it is absolutely undesirable for the attacker to use the tactics of crowds, but it is very practical in the case of this kind of exercise is very small in scale and there are no heavy weapons such as artillery.

Mulder thought for a moment and ordered: "Let the heavy machine guns open fire to provide fire support, suppress the opponent's firepower, and order the second echelon to attack from the flanks and attract the defenders' fire!" ”

"Yes, company commander!"

The attacking troops below did not slow down in the slightest way, and the heavy machine guns behind began to provide them with fire support, and the fire on the defenders' side was suppressed for a while, and the drill shells hit the sandbags on the breast wall of the trench position, splashing puffs of dust.

Xiao Zhen Lei Tong Guò telescope observed the position of the opponent's heavy machine gun, and said loudly: "The sharpshooter will kill the opponent's heavy machine gun for me!" ”

Dozens of seconds later, the opponent's heavy machine gun was dumb, and two shooters in a row were eliminated, and the opponent was left with no one to operate the heavy machine gun for a while.

"Well done!" Xiao Zhenlei encouraged loudly, and said, "Now the task of the two of you is to find each other's sharpshooters and kill them!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

At this time, the commander of the third platoon ran over and reported: "Sir, the other side has attacked from the flank, the strength of two squads!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and ordered: "You take four people over to guard the flank, and the heavy machine gun team is also transferred over to support you, you must resist it, don't let them rush up from the flank!" ”

The commander of the third platoon hesitated: "Sir, if the heavy machine gun is transferred to the flank, the frontal firepower will be insufficient."

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand and said: "I have my own way to defend the front, okay, carry out my orders!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The commander of the third platoon agreed and left with four people and a heavy machine gun crew.

Compared with the front, the offensive side of the flank is much narrower, the defenders hold here with a heavy machine gun and a few soldiers, the attacker's two squads of troops are beaten by the defenders after the attack, and the offensive surface itself is narrow, the defenders hold here with heavy machine guns, the attacker suffers heavy losses, and it is impossible to break through the blockade of the opponent's heavy machine gun fire, not only can not advance, but also cannot retreat, as long as the body is exposed, it will soon be bulleted.

At the foot of the mountain, the signal corps reported to Mulder: "Sir, the enemy's heavy machine guns have appeared on the flank, and the attacking troops on our flank have been blocked, suffering heavy losses, and they cannot advance or retreat!" ”

"Bastard, how can this be?" Mudder was a little annoyed when he heard this, in his opinion, Xiao Zhenlei was completely out of common sense, what happened to the heavy machine gun that was not placed in the front but was transferred to the flank?

After thinking about it for a while, Mulder ordered, "Send those two sharpshooters over to support me and shoot out the other party's heavy machine guns!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Although the attacking troops that lost their heavy machine guns had no fire cover, the firepower of the defenders on the frontal position was not strong, so they were still able to attack quickly up the hill, but the defenders occupied a geographical advantage, and the condescending position was very advantageous to the defense, and the casualties were much smaller than those of the attackers, but it was not a way to go on like this, and the opponent's strength was always twice as much as that of the defenders, and the pressure on the frontal position was still very great.

Xiao Zhenlei is not worried about the front, he is worried about the flank, if the heavy machine gun is knocked out by the opponent's sharpshooter, then the flank will be dangerous, to hold the flank, it is necessary to draw troops from the front position, so that the defense of the front position will become very weak.

Soon after, Xiao Zhenlei heard the heavy machine guns on the flanks fizzy, and then the third platoon commander sent someone to report that the heavy machine gunners had been killed, and according to the situation, the heavy machine guns were also destroyed by the opponent's sharpshooters, but the two sharpshooters of the other side were also killed by our sharpshooters, but now the opponent's forces on the flank are much more than ours, and if you want to hold it, you must draw some troops over. After hearing this, Xiao Zhenlei immediately transferred seven people from the frontal position to help defend the flank.

The defenders behind some of the stones and rocks in front of the trench were almost all killed by the attacker, which means that there was no barrier in front of the trench, and the attacker's soldiers touched the back of these stones and stones, used these bunkers to shoot at the defenders, and gradually pushed upwards.

Seeing that there was only forty or fifty meters left in the distance, the first platoon commander and the second platoon commander of the attacking side saw that the time was ripe to launch a charge, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Everyone is ready to rush forward."

The attacker launched the final charge from the front, and Xiao Zhenlei smiled when he saw this, and said loudly: "Grenade preparation-".

There was no need for Xiao Zhenlei to shout the order to throw, the soldiers pulled off the lead when they heard the order to prepare the grenade, and silently counted the sum of five counts in their hearts and threw the grenade together, "Boom, boom, boom"

A series of explosions rang out, followed by wave after wave of grenades, which blew up thirty-four meters in front of the position, and if it was a real battle, the attackers would definitely be blown up this time.

In the command post under the mountain, when Mudd saw this scene with a telescope, he sighed in his heart, it's over! He didn't expect that the grenade could be used in this way, it was a huge discovery, after such an explosion on the hillside, the soldiers who had been judged dead or wounded by the exercise supervisor to be killed or wounded slipped down the mountain with their rifles, and there were few people who remained in place.

Jarvis could see it clearly from the side, and he also had to admire Xiao Zhenlei's imagination and cunning, and even thought of concentrating the use of grenades on a large scale, waiting for the attacking troops to rush to the front of the position, and the destructive power caused by throwing so many grenades even exceeded that of artillery shells.

Jarvis put down the binoculars and sighed: "The exercise is over, the attack failed, order them to withdraw, this Chinese Xiao is very talented in military affairs, he actually blocked his own attack, just like he first built an extremely sharp spear, pierced a qiē defensive shield, but he created another shield to resist this spear!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei walked down the mountain with three platoons, in fact, he knew very well that if the attacker and the defender were not much different in terms of soldiers' combat effectiveness and equipment, the attacking troops wanted to use twice the strength to attack this kind of position with geographical advantages, the hope of success was absolutely slim, just the geographical advantage was enough to offset the extra double the troops, and if you wanted to take such a position, you would need at least three times more troops to do it, otherwise even if you take such a position, you will kill one thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, or even lose more. However, a battle is for the sake of the campaign, and the campaign is for the sake of strategy, and sometimes for the sake of the overall strategic situation, we cannot care about the loss of troops in a small battle, if this is a very critical location, it is a strategic location, even if the loss of more than ten times the number of troops, it is worth it.

After descending the mountain, Xiao Zhenlei said to Jarvis and Mulder: "Both, how is it?" Convincing or not? In a battle like this, if there is not much difference between the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the weapons and equipment, the attacking side does not have more than three times the strength of the troops and will not want to take the position! ”

Mudder was still a little unconvinced, and he snorted: "If I have artillery on my side, you will definitely not be able to stop our attack!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei shrugged: "That's not necessarily, if I knew that there was artillery on your side, my defensive position would definitely not be arranged like this, and I would let your artillery not play much role!" Oh, it's not early, Colonel Jarvis, I think we should go back."

Jarvis nodded, "Okay! ”

On the way back to Berlin, Jarvis hoped that he could continue to discuss military insights with Xiao Zhenlei in the next few days, how could Xiao Zhenlei not know Jarvis's plans, of course he would not tell this guy some good tactics later, so he politely refused on the grounds that he had other things to do, and Jarvis regretted this.
