Seventy-five. Trench Assault Team (Ask for Recommendations!)
A red baron had been born, and before that, another baron had begun to show his hideous fangs on the battlefield:
Baron Ernst Aleksen von Brahm!
The moment the cannon sounded, the replenishment battalion had all entered the combat position.
And the first to launch the assault was the first trench assault squad of the supplementary battalion:
Ernst 1st Trench Commando!
Xiao Ling finally helped, and although he refused to provide Wang Weiyi with MP18 submachine guns, he provided him with two Lewis M1914 infantry light machine guns used by the British and sufficient ammunition.
Although it did not achieve its goal, the Lewis light machine gun invented by the Americans greatly improved the mobility of the machine gun compared with the Vickers type Maxim heavy machine gun and the German MG08 heavy machine gun, and the firepower was also comparable to that of the heavy machine gun.
And these two light machine guns are bound to become the main force of the assault team.
A shrill whistle sounded, and several commandos quickly began to assemble.
"For Germany!" With this sound, Wang Weiyi was the first to rush out of the trench.
"For Germany!" All members of the 1st Trench Assault Team rushed out of the trenches.
Infantry Offensive - Begin!
The trench commando team composed of more than a dozen people was a new tactic that emerged after the outbreak of the World War, and its founder was called Ernst Brem.
Appearing in front of the first trench assault was the pre-battle position named E2, where about half a company of French troops was stationed.
Sean, who was carrying a heavy machine gun, quickly commanded his assistant to set up the heavy machine gun, and before they could, the two light machine guns in the hands of Wang Weiyi and Guo Yunfeng opened fire at the same time.
The bullets swept towards the enemy on the opposite side like a whirlwind, and the French could not raise their heads at all, and with the help of Wang Weiyi's fully bought time, the heavy machine gun in Sean's hand also opened fire at the same time.
The firepower of the three light and heavy machine guns was quite terrifying, and the intertwined fire net suppressed the French to the death.
Unaffected by the battlefield, Boncrere held his gun steadily, and then pulled the trigger steadily, and one by one the French officers in blue military caps quickly fell under his gun
"William, grenade!"
Two grenadiers, armed with grenades, rushed forward under the leadership of Guderian, who was also covered with grenades. They removed the grenade from their bodies and threw it at each other's trenches.
"Boom-boom-boom-" explosions, and the French positions were blown to pieces.
"Spitfire, Spitfire!"
Corporal Mikel's flamethrowers began to appear, and flames more terrible than bullets and grenades erupted into the enemy's trenches, instantly drowning the French trenches in a sea of fire.
"Steck! It's your turn! Hey, ammo, ammo! Where's the damn ammo hand! ”
Steck didn't care about the ammunition man, he picked up the sapper shovel and rushed into the trench under the cover of machine guns and grenades.
The French in the trenches had already lost their heads and suffered heavy casualties under such a round of blows. And at this time, a few fierce Germans rushed in again!
Steck picked up the sharpened sapper shovel in his hand, stabbed an enemy to death, and then quickly pulled it out, and smashed the head of a French soldier on fire
The pistols were constantly fired, and the sapper shovels flew in turn, breaking the hearts of the French who were embarrassed by the blows of machine guns, grenades, and flames.
At this time, Wang Weiyi and the assault team had also rushed in
The position was in chaos, the French were disabled, and just when everyone wanted to eliminate the French here, Wang Weiyi suddenly shouted: "No matter here, no matter here, leave it to the follow-up troops commanded by Second Lieutenant Hall to deal with!" Assault, assault, continue to assault with me! ”
Assault! Assault! As long as the war does not stop, the assault will never end
Second Army.
General Galwitz watched nervously at the front line, and the battle reports continued to reach him. He was pleasantly surprised by the excellent battlefield performance of one unit that made a good start to this autumn offensive:
Supplementary battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment.
It's Ernst Bram again!
General Galvetz was eager to directly promote Ernst to division commander and let him command a division to directly destroy more enemy troops!
"It's incredible!" Colonel Rohr looked at the battle report in his hand and muttered: "Just after the war, the supplementary battalion has broken through the three trenches of the French in a row, how did Ernst do it?" ”
"Is there any miracle that Baron Alexon can't do?" General Galvetz smiled and said: "Ah, by the way, I heard that Ernst organized several commandos? ”
"Ah, yes, that's what amazed me the most." Colonel Rohr hurriedly said, "You have to admit that Ernst is a genius, General. He completely dispersed the machine gun company and Spitfire squad that General Kinglock had assigned to him, and God knows what he thought. ”
General Galvetz listened with interest, and he began to think that the miracle that Captain Ernst had achieved before was by no means accidental.
For example, the trench assault team is definitely a first-of-its-kind. Although similar ideas had been put forward in the German army before, they were not implemented at all.
And now Captain Ernst has done it.
Well, such an experience is perfectly suitable for generalizing throughout the German army in order to minimize casualties.
"General, Colonel Kinclok sent that guy named Froman from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and I heard that he has some information that Colonel Kinclok can't handle."
General Galvetz had a look of annoyance on his face, but he forcibly said, "Let them in." ”
Damn, if it weren't for Prince Joachim, he would have sneered at them, but it was precisely because of Prince Joachim's background that the general had to provoke the boredom in his heart.
"General." As soon as he entered, Froman could not wait to say: "We have found conclusive evidence of an affair between Baron Ernst Aleksen von Bram and the Englishman. ”
General Galvetz and Colonel Rohr were taken aback: "What did you say? ”
"The evidence of the fornication between Baron Ernst Aleksen von Bream and the Englishman is overwhelming." Froman triumphantly repeated his words: "He actually released a group of British prisoners on the battlefield, and one of them was a senior British officer. ”
General Galwitz's brow furrowed, but then he said without hesitation: "Even if Ernst did do this, there must be a good reason for him!" ”
