Chapter 1141: Assault
"It seems that this road has been destroyed by the other party's ring holders!" "We have to find another way." ”
At this time, the book demon raised his head and said to everyone, "I think Patigul is right. We still had to insist on harassing the rear bases of the German troops. Because both the French and German armies focused on offense and defense. This seemingly very tragic offensive and the 'meat grinder' battle that held on, the decisive factor of Zuihou was not on the battlefield. It's about logistics! ”
"The reason why we were able to win the previous one that held on to the mission was because we attacked the opponent's logistics base! The same is true of the capture of Fort Duaumont this time. Even if we can't win, we can hold back the German offensive. Benefit from the hold of the rest of the fortresses guarding Verdun. Even if the Ringbearers of the opposing camp destroyed the 'Holy Way' and destroyed the logistics of the French army. Our efforts may not be able to reverse the defeat, but at least we can gain some benefits for ourselves......"
Akon and Partigul glanced at each other, and from the words of the book demon, the two wise men understood that in this Battle of Verdun, due to the participation of the ring-bearers on both sides, it was likely that the French army would be lost, and the history of the German camp's ring-bearers would be changed. Because the weakness of the French army in this campaign is too obvious. As long as the only road capable of transporting reinforcements and supplies is cut off, it will fail.
But compared with the French army, the Germans' logistics support system did not appear to be much stronger. If it is destroyed, even if the Germans capture Verdun, it will not be able to win the battle in the future. The first Shijie War was mainly based on positional warfare and attrition warfare, which tested the ability of logistics support to the extreme. And as a small-scale elite unit, if the precept holder wants to play liliang in positional warfare, it is really a drop in the bucket, and the gains outweigh the losses!
In positional warfare, the Ring-Bearer is able to give the attacking or defending Liliang a clear advantage in local battles. But in the entire campaign, in countless positions, it was simply not enough to shake the tide of the battle. Only by using one's own strong points to launch an active attack and strike at the opponent's vital point -- the logistics support base -- can we gain a glimmer of life!
It seems that this scene of the Battle of Verdun Meat Grinder was originally a historical scene that required the practitioners to take the initiative to attack and infiltrate the enemy's rear. This is also the reason why it is impossible for the two vow-bearers to overlap their tasks. Because everyone will understand that it is difficult to hold the logistics base of your own faction.
And this scene weishenme is in the positional battle, and there are no boundary-breaking monsters coming out to harass. Only after the team takes the initiative to attack, there will be a boundary-breaking monster. It seems that those old guys understand the tactics that should be applied to these historical scenes!
After figuring out this relationship, the two wise men immediately understood what to do. Akon immediately spread out the military map and pointed out the location of the German logistics base that the book demon had asked to mark earlier, and showed it to everyone. In fact, the tactical thinking of the wise man has long been embodied, but he has not been able to see so far. But in every battle, there is always the key point to find. By extension, the tactical tone is the same as that of the entire campaign.
And a person wants to be able to look at the problem from a tactical level every time and have a strong ability to execute. It is indeed very difficult to grasp the overall situation from a strategic level and have the ability to provide far-sighted guidance. When you focus on the present, it's hard to see the big picture. Standing tall, you can see far away, but it is difficult to see the subtleties in front of you. It's not easy to be an all-encompassing commander! This is why a team must have both wisdom and understanding, in order to be able to be like a fish in water in various historical scenes.
At this time, Akon missed Eisen a little, an outstanding female wise man whose understanding and intelligence were broken. From the last 'Anglo-Western Sea Battle' with Zhang Fan's team, it can be seen that Aisen has been able to focus on the big picture and start from the subtleties. He is already a military commander with all-round wisdom! Together, she and Zhang Fan are not as good as her. It's just that why would such a wise man choose to die? This made Akon puzzled......
Zhang Fan was not interested in such a military deployment. What he was concerned about now was how to get the Harpy back to form as soon as possible. With the way she is now, I'm afraid survival is a problem. Therefore, every once in a while, Zhang Fan recited the Buddhist mantra and blessed the eagle banshee with Buddha power. It was only at this time that the Harpy's grief seemed to improve slightly.
But this psychotherapy process may continue for a while. This not only made Zhang Fan think about what kind of state would he be in if Akon or Green Wing died? Thinking of this, Zhang Fan shuddered involuntarily, quickly shook his head, and shook this thought out of his head. It seems that I am afraid that I will have a hard time facing it......
And in the Patigul team, the murderous king Alimu seems to have nothing to do, and he will also talk to Apdu. This originally extroverted Islamic vow-bearer, a prop merchant, has also become silent and depressed because of the death of his comrades. Just like his night barrier, there was darkness in front of him, but he couldn't get rid of it.
It seems that the loss of a comrade-in-arms is probably a lesson that every vow-holder may face in the future. It's just a matter of time or night. Zhang Fan's team, the Patigul team, and the Riyadh team are not yet in this class. And what Apdu will learn in this class is impossible to predict......
In fact, Zhang Fan's team was originally able to save the harpy that was killed by the Germans. This is because the team also has a unique 'Pain Stone' item that can revive a teammate. This is the slab on which the Holy One Jesus lay when he died in Jerusalem at the Battle of Hatin. But at the moment of the death of the Harpy, Akon deliberately reminded Zhang Fan that he should never use this prop.
Zhang Fan did hesitate at that time. Because he's more concerned about what he's going to do if Greenwing and Akon die in the scene? At this time, Zhang Fan felt a deep sense of guilt for the harpy. Because he didn't even want to use the 'Qian Miao Iron Coupon', the mutilated gold medal for avoiding death. And the harpy gave up her life to save herself......
This time, Zhang Fan went to apply to the front-line commander for a reconnaissance and sabotage mission behind enemy lines, but he was not approved. Although the commander knew that the legendary knight had destroyed a German logistics base the day before yesterday, he still did not agree to Zhang Fan's application. The battle mission to capture the fortress of Douaomont this time is too tight, and every point of liliang cannot be wasted!
The battle was soon on! The morale of the French troops was high, and under the cover of artillery, they rushed forward in a swarm. Now the fortifications of the fortress of Douaumont have long been razed to the ground by the heavy German artillery, and it is the turn of the Germans to hold on to themselves, but they have tasted the taste of being fiercely attacked.
But for Zhang Fan and other vow holders, there is really no interest in the wise impossible battle to win. The battle of tens of thousands of people, and the three teams of ring-bearers who had been weakened to one-fifth of their strength, could not turn the tide at all. History will still continue in a given direction. After four days of onslaught, the French army was sure to be defeated!
The scene seems to be worried that Zhang Fan and other precept bearers will escape, and they have also arranged a forcible attack for them, although they don't need to occupy a certain position, but they also need to kill enough German guards to complete. For a team of vow-bearers with two wise men, this problem is easy to solve. Leave a squad of men to complete the set mission, while picking up the best and deserting to infiltrate behind enemy lines.
The offensive is during the day, and the desertion can only be done at night. Therefore, the team collectively participated in the battle. Zhang Fan's team is also the first time to experience the tough battle in the era of hot weapons. In the past, I used to defend myself and deal with the opponent's attacks. This time they learned what it means to be a rain of bullets! The German Maxim machine guns, intertwined with a dense network of fire, were a nightmare for the charging soldiers! And they are all bullets that shoot blue-green light, with supernatural attack abilities, which can destroy the spiritual defense of the ring holder!
The charge of this era is to use people's lives to consume the opponent's bullets! Use your lives to shorten the distance, then harvest the lives of your enemies as you get close! For the weakened team of Ring Bearers, in the face of such an attack, they are like ordinary soldiers, and they are also filling the pit with their own lives!
The Germans were condescending, and the death belt woven by the fire of the Maxim machine gun made it difficult for the French to take a step beyond the thunder pool! The density of the French artillery could not counteract this fire pressure, and only the lives of the French soldiers could be filled. What's even more terrifying is that there are also German planes overhead, firing in non-stop dives!
The morale of the Germans' defensive position was condensed into a satanic face with a terrible grin in front of the eyes of the vow-holders! The German machine-gun tongue is like the flames of hell that spew out of Satan's mouth!
Zhang Fan and others reluctantly curled up in the pile of dead people, or lurked in the craters of heavy artillery bombardment, and crawled forward in the gap between the strafing of German machine guns. The machine guns of this era were the first generation of human repeating firearms, and the bullet belt was not long, and jams and failures were frequent, so it gave the precept bearers who had experienced a lot of battles an opportunity.
Of course, they will not rush forward with high morale, shouting slogans and singing songs, like those French recruits. Always hide behind friendly forces for cover. As soon as the soldiers in front are dead, look for obstacles to avoid bullets. Wait until the machine gun on the opposite side changes the bullet belt, or when the shell is jammed, jump out and rush forward!
In this way, the vow-holders have the maximum chance of survival. However, the closer you get to the enemy's position, the greater the pressure of fire. The vow-holders have never found a chance to break through. Rushing to zuihou, always only himself. It was more than a hundred meters away from the enemy's position, and at this time, it became very embarrassing. The French soldiers around him were all dead, and the machine-gun fire in front of them had overwhelmed everyone to the point where they couldn't look up.
