Who is the protagonist of the exercise? (Medium)
The hand-cranked phone flew out, nearly hitting Ludendorff as he walked into the headquarters. The Germans were accustomed to being strict and restrained, Ludendorff only frowned slightly, and saluted Powell: "Your Excellency, Field Marshal Hindenburg asked me to cooperate with your command, and the heavy artillery brigade of the Seventh Army is also under your command." ”
The anger on Powell's face gradually faded, and the 150 Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Seventh Army was also placed under his command.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Marshal, for your support!" Powell did not mention the matter of cooperating with the command, and Ludendorff did not take the initiative to ask for anything, but walked directly to the high-powered gunners to observe the Blues' movements on the opposite position.
Ludendorff saw the first song of Volume 1, Chapter 8, who was the protagonist of the exercise? [Middle] is the dirt that is constantly being raised, and the Blues are hurrying to repair the trenches. The barbed wire fence at the front of the position, and the messy slopes that had been dug up, Ludendorff smiled. Cooperating with the command or something, it's not for him to worry about. He came to observe the exercise on behalf of the General Staff Headquarters, but he did not expect that this medium-sized exercise would be so splendid.
After half an hour of preparation, a new round of shelling began, and the small position was like a sail board trembling in the fury of artillery fire. The barbed wire fence at the front of the position was this time given special care by the 105 cannons of the Guards Army, and it was blown up all over the sky.
After an hour of artillery preparation, the Guards began a group charge, throwing two regiments in one go.
Ludendorff was very satisfied with the preparation and tactics of this attack, the infantry and artillery coordination was in place, and if nothing else, the 308 heights should be taken. However, the accident really happened, and the defenders, who could not see the shadow in the artillery fire just now, actually appeared, and the firepower was stronger. Especially the machine-gun positions on both sides, the frantic strafing, the guards charging at the group, the aiming is superfluous. Ludendorff suddenly felt that he wanted to go to the battlefield and take a look.
Who is the protagonist of the drill in Chapter 8 of Dusk Volume 1 Chu Ming? The last attack on the 308 heights before (center) was again judged a failure by the referee team. On the contrary, the Seventh Army made a relatively successful breakthrough on the frontal position, and after taking the first-line position, it was immediately suppressed and fired by the 75-caliber artillery regiment of the defenders, and the follow-up troops were blocked, and at the same time, the machine guns on the 308 heights appeared like a nightmare.
The attacking team's personnel were constantly judged to be casualties and withdrew from the battle, and when the sky was full of blood, the attacking red side finally stopped the attack.
On the 308 heights, in the concealed observation post, the three company commanders led by Fang Jianxiong stood behind, and in front of them was Major Hodgson, who was pouting with a telescope and pouting his butt to observe the battlefield. After the last battle, one company of the defenders was judged to have withdrawn from the battle, but the results were brilliant, repelling the attacks of two regiments, and at least half of them were ruled out by the referee. At the same time, the machine-gun position was transferred to the flank, blocking the follow-up of the local attackers on the frontal battlefield, and establishing a meritorious service for the main force of the division to hold the second line of defense.
All in all, no matter what the result of this military exercise, the third battalion can be regarded as completely popular. And Hodgson himself is estimated to be favored by the chief, and promotion is just around the corner. This qiē was all typed by the three trainee company commanders.
Hodgson's mind recalled the course of this exercise, the 88th Infantry Regiment set off as the vanguard, and the result was that the three battalions ran the fastest, and the regiment commander directly gave Hodgson the task of the vanguard battalion. The next table was even more jaw-dropping, and the three infantry companies arrived at the blocking point ten minutes faster than the normal rapid march, and a series of wonderful performances followed.
It is true that the Seventh Army is the elite of the German army, but the elite is also divided into main and non-main forces, and the 21st Infantry Division has never been the main force, and every exercise is to play the role of the Blue Army. It can be said that the whole division is bitter and bitter.
But this time, because of the excellent performance of the 88th Infantry Regiment, it miraculously withstood the attack of a division of the Guards for eight hours, and finally dragged the battle into darkness. According to the custom of the German army, they would not attack at night.
In other words, the task of sticking to the twenty-four hours has actually been completed seventy percent. Because the importance of Heights 308 was highlighted during the battle, Hodgson moved the battalion command post and occupied the magpie's nest.
The phone rang, and Captain House stepped forward to answer it, and said, "Yes, yes, I know." ”
Hanging up the phone, House said to Hodgson, who turned around: "The exercise has been stopped, and the order was given by Field Marshal Hindenburg." The regimental headquarters ordered the commander of the third battalion to immediately rush to the exercise headquarters. ”
"Congratulations Major! Under your wise leadership, we held our ground. Fang Jianxiong was the first to pat himself and sing praises, and Bob and Biel glanced at this guy with infinite disdain, each showing a more sensual smile, and touting Major Hodgson in more sensual language.
"Major, under your correct command, we have emerged victorious. Now that you have the opportunity to meet His Excellency the Marshal, your future is limitless, and you will surely become a rising star. "This is Bob!
"Major, I wish you your promotion in advance, the 21st Infantry Division is proud of you!" This is Biel.
Who said that the Germans don't know how to make sycophants, these two grandsons are much better at speaking than labor and management.
Major Hodgson was in a happy mood, hurried out of the observation post, and went to the command headquarters while it was dark.
The three company commanders were finally able to rest, and they got together to smoke and talk nonsense. "Biel, are your dreams still there?" Fang Jianxiong suddenly asked, Biel nodded and said, "My dream is very firm, I will definitely become a top designer." ”
"Then you were so sensual just now, do you want Hodgson to say nice things about you in front of the marshal, and then stay in the army forever until death?" Fang Jian grabbed him by the collar in a rage, looking like he was going to kill someone.
"Fang, in fact, the biggest hero today is you." Bob's voice was sudden, and his eyes were peculiar, as if he saw something. Fang Jianxiong pretended to be casual, let go of his hand, and said lightly: "Shit, the biggest hero today is you, and it can only be you, Bob!" Because there's a word in your name, Feng! ”
"Fang, this is unfair, this is an insult to me!" Bob's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and his face was hideous.
Fang Jianxiong glanced at him contemptuously, and said lightly: "I have to return to China after all, and I know very well what I need." Bob, you have to do a good job, and the higher you climb in the army, the better. There will come a time when I will need your help when I return to China. When the time comes, it will be worth it for me. ”
Bob was silent and lowered his head and didn't speak, Fang Jianxiong reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, under any circumstances, I will not ask you to betray the interests of the country to help me." As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong also took out a stack of manuscripts from his purse, handed them to Bob and said: "Damn noble boy, here are some of my personal judgments and experiences on the future direction of the war, you can study hard, don't tell others that it is my classmate and sworn friend if you don't learn well." ”
Bob was not polite, silently took it, put it in his bag, and then took out a cigarette and lit it.
Peat, I don't even know that I will scatter one of them, and the old wealth of a landlord headed by the nobles is really an old pick.
Biel was very smart, after he understood it, he suddenly felt a little sour in his nose, and couldn't help but turn his head away and secretly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes. "Hey, Biel, I have a wonderful design that allows the rate of fire of the 75 Mountain Gun to reach 15 rounds per minute, is there any interest in buying this design? For the sake of everyone and friends, I'll give you a 20% discount! ”
A little sadness in Bier's heart dissipated the design. Knowing what this design meant, Biel's eyes glowed like a wolf. With a howl, Biel threw himself forward, but had to brake halfway through. In front of him was the muzzle of the black hole, and Fang Jianxiong, who was holding a box cannon in his hand, crooked his mouth and spat out: "I know that your kid plans to come here, feelings belong to feelings, brothers belong to brothers, and business belongs to business." It has always been my purpose to pay money and deliver goods with one hand. Well, at this point, Bob can testify! ”
Bob, who was accustomed to the opponent's sword hero's obedience, stretched out his fist in time and scrutinized back and forth in front of his eyes.
"We're all friends, so why bother?" Biel put away his greedy eyes, opened his mouth with a smile, and slowly retreated. Fang Jianxiong put away the box cannon, gave Biel a dry look and said: "My brother is settling accounts, you still owe me a large amount of design royalties, do you think I will trust your business ethics?" ”
"Yes, settle the old account first." Bob helped on the side, this seemingly rough guy was completely convinced by Fang Jianxiong. Bob knew very well in his heart that after this battle, Fang Jianxiong gave up something.
Biel squinted his eyes, looking at Fang Jianxiong, who had a profiteer's expression, and suddenly said very strictly: "Fang, can you sue me, what do you want to do after you go back?" ”
Fang Jianxiong didn't seem to hear what he said, and stood up and looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees. For a long time, he roared in Chinese: "Thief God, labor and management are very unhappy with China in this era, but there is no way, who makes their hands cheap." Nima, Lao Tzu is just a dead otaku, the greatest pleasure is to watch Teacher Cang's performance, and then waste the seeds of life senselessly, I Nima, circle you a fork, Lao Tzu was still an otaku virgin before he crossed! Thief God, don't you think it's fun? I'll do ....... ”
Bob and Biel didn't mean to persuade them, and after exchanging glances with each other, they silently watched Fang Jianxiong's venting. Fang Jianxiong, who was hoarse, gasped, and looked back at the two foreign friends with a solemn face.
"My fate is up to me, I won't give in to fate, not under any circumstances!" This time, it's in German. Bob silently stepped forward, hugged Fang Jianxiong's shoulder, and hammered his back a few times.
"Fang, I will do my best to help you, I swear by the word Feng!!."
