Chapter 579: Raid Infiltration

Behind the curtain of the unanimous bullets, thousands of German commandos had jumped out of the offensive trenches and were rapidly advancing towards the no-man's land of the battlefield, which represented death. Unlike the previous artillery suppression, which was often measured in days, the Germans committed the attacking troops after only two and a half hours; And when these infantry appeared in the center of the battlefield, the artillery in the rear was still roaring!

German Sergeant Werner has an MP-11 submachine gun in his hand, and is rapidly advancing forward with the help of the terrain cover on the battlefield; In addition to the normal weight of individual soldiers such as ammunition, rations, water bottles, and shovels, he also hung a telescope barrel around his neck to observe the enemy. A veteran of the frontier battles since the beginning of the battle, Werner had grown into a cadre of sergeants with extensive battlefield experience, and was appointed commander of a assault detachment as the Germans sought to reorganize their forces on the Western Front. Behind him at this moment, 14 soldiers were closely following his own footsteps; In addition to the combatants, whose main weapons were submachine guns and a large number of grenades, there were also light machine guns and mortars as three-dimensional fire cover.

In less than half an hour, the assault detachment led by Werner rushed through the no-man's land of the battlefield with a depth of 2 kilometers under the cover of rapid and dense artillery fire, and struggled to jump into the offensive trench belonging to the French army. Artillery fire continued to explode in the vicinity, and the sand and stones flew and the waves swept up, blowing some of the hapless eggs into bloody remnants. Faced with this situation, Werner did not have the slightest fear in his heart, he directly exposed half of his body outside the shallow trench, and calmly and carefully looked at the French position in the distance through the telescope. Belonging to the lightly armed commando, he did not have to fight head-on with the opponent's well-defended trench barriers. Instead, they look for weak points that can be invaded and carry out infiltration; As long as it successfully wedges into the main line of defense of the French army. and damage to one of their command, communications, and artillery support. Your mission is accomplished!

The loud explosions burst out one after another, and the red light surged vertically and horizontally; Every ten seconds, the main position of the French army more than 1,000 meters away will burst into a surging glare like a wall of fire. Werner's eyes wandered, his eyes fixed on every inch of the battlefield where he could penetrate. A few minutes later, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to call out to his teammates; Seeing a familiar face appear in front of him, Werner pointed to the battlefield with his right halberd, and said loudly to his comrades amid the roar of artillery fire: "Do you see the gentle slope about 2 kilometers away?" There was hardly any fire coming out there. It must have been the weakness of the French defenses; We only need to step on the explosive point of the artillery to quickly rush and then set up a mortar in the penultimate crater to pierce the tortoise shell of the French! The surrounding soldiers echoed loudly and clenched their weapons tightly.

"Attack!" While a small black dot was still flying in the air, Werner had already let out a thunderous shout; More than a dozen gray figures immediately jumped out of the shallow offensive trenches and galloped on the battlefield at a speed no less than that of wolfdogs. Werner's prediction was extremely accurate, and only three seconds later, a row of surging purple waves and red waves burst out again on the French position in the distance, and colorful shrapnel was like a torrential rain; Black smoke poured in layers, obscuring the sight of fire from large sections of enemy positions. Werner, running wildly, silently counted the time that had passed. He then waved his left arm and jumped with his comrades into a nearby crater: the German artillery currently operating a double-layered barrage. More than enough monuments have been smashed on this battlefield, and these craters will undoubtedly provide ideal cover for the advance of the German assault forces to avoid direct fire. When the artillery swarm flew through the sky again, Werner roared again to give instructions to move forward.

In this way, Werner's assault detachment had advanced for thousands of meters in front of the main French position; Later, even they found it unbelievable. However, good fortune does not always favor these brave men who dance on the tightrope. During the last rapid advance, two commandos were hit by flying bullets: one was shot in the neck and killed instantly, while the other was pierced through the ribs and fell to the ground, red blood staining the gray uniform. Although Werner's eyes were blank as he witnessed the scene, and his clenched nails were already deeply embedded in his palms, he gave the order to continue with a roar like a wounded beast, and did his best to remove the other man's usual sound and smile from his mind. Now that they had penetrated far into the French positions, they were no longer able to call the medical corps at any time, as they were when they were defending in their own trenches; If you stop at this moment to rescue your comrades, then it will not play any role except to delay the fighter plane and let the whole team be buried with it!

After running at full speed for 1.5 km, the Werner detachment, which had already lost one-eighth of its personnel, finally arrived at the area just planned. The soldiers with submachine guns sat in the craters and gasped for breath, their backs already soaked with sweat after the quick run just now; The small soldier with the mortar on his back calmly set up his weapon while bowing down. Azimuth adjustment, shell loading; With a muffled thud, a high-pitched arc leaped out of the crater; In less than ten seconds, a fierce red light that did not belong to Xu Jin's barrage suddenly burst out on the French position hundreds of meters away.

“Feuer! Feuer! Werner's eyes were red, and he loudly commanded his mortars to carry out targeted killings of enemy positions; Compared with the range suppression carried out by the rear artillery in strict accordance with the schedule, this kind of front-line firepower can undoubtedly play a better role in prescribing the right medicine. In the violent explosion, the French soldiers who were hiding behind the shooting holes and placing their guns were blown to pieces, and the casualties were scattered, and the already weak counterattack became even more sparse. Seeing that the mortar suppression was at an end of fire, Werner, who wanted to preserve the ammunition, immediately ordered to stop the shelling and waited quietly for his artillery barrage to move forward in depth. Under his command, the soldiers began to make the final replenishment of drinking water and armament; For the rest of the day, they will have to fight in the opponent's main defensive position, completing the planned infiltration sabotage until the heavy commandos join them.

After the artillery bombardment painstakingly planned by countless German staff officers, it was like a fine clockwork precision ssonting pendulum; At 10:25 a.m., Werner's watch was on his wrist when a rain of thunderous bullets began to stretch forward like a wall of fire. He didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately shouted loudly and continued to attack with his robes. At this moment, there were still sporadic French firepower surviving in the trenches, and not long after another commando was wounded. Facing the last burst of barbed wire in front of him, Werner, full of vengeful rage, poured all his strength into his legs, and actually jumped straight over the broken barrier that was still more than a meter high while carrying a weight of 30kg. The rest of the German commandos roared loudly, leaping through the obstacle like a dragon; Now they have only one belief in their hearts, and that is to wipe out all the enemy forces in front of them!

"Boom! Rumble! "Thunder roared, sand flew out, and with the violent explosion of grenades, the German commandos leaped into the French trench in a continuous leap and tumble. The MP-11 submachine gun, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally got a chance to show its power, and a large number of bullets rained down, and the only French resistance in this trench was swept away in an instant. A simple flare rose into the air, and several friendly forces immediately approached the area: not all German commandos could find weak points in the French positions, and mutual communication and support between the detachments was also an extremely important part of the offensive operation.

When the battle reached this stage, it was the stage for the German commandos to show themselves. They alternately covered their advances, and the Madsen light machine gun and MP-11 submachine gun spewed out a barrage of terrifying projectiles: it was not uncommon to take down three or four enemy soldiers in one shot. If they came across a heavily fortified area, Werner would direct his detachment to bypass it and wait for the re-armed commandos to follow: they dug three feet into the ground along the way, destroying all the lines and equipment they found with sharp weapons.

In the process of infiltration, the German commandos would also encounter French soldiers who surrendered in extreme panic and fear. The Germans' new infiltration tactics caught them off guard in the defence, and the commandos' fully automated weapons made it impossible for them to match the infantry firepower with rifles. Through the inhumane but effective methods of violence, the German commandos managed to pry enough useful information from the mouths of these prisoners to begin to carry out various targeted sabotage operations.

For a time, the field headquarters and telephone relay stations deep in the French positions were raided by the German infiltration troops, and the command system was paralyzed; Telephone communication between the rear and the front was cut off, and the heralds sent out were also hunted by the German infiltration detachments. Werner's unit used mortars to attack a French artillery position and detonated the ammunition piled up next to the artillery. Accompanied by a series of giant fiery red clouds rising into the sky, the four cannons were blown to pieces in just a few minutes, and the wheels flew sideways; The artillery next to him also suffered heavy casualties, and the position after the explosion was full of mutilated flesh and blood.

Just as the French command was overwhelmed by the flames deep in the rear, the Germans also began to launch a real attack on the front. (To be continued......)
