The early stage of the war looked grand, but it was only an appetizer for both the Allies and the Germans. Neither side believed that the Coalition forces would be able to occupy the German lines with aircraft and artillery alone. It's like a dessert before a meal, just an embellishment to this war.

With the passage of time, Sun Qian and the others have become accustomed to this mode of war, and the first thing they do when they get up every day is to watch the planes in the sky fighting each other, and then run to the artillery position to fire two guns to have a good time. It was only after almost 20 days that the coalition command ordered the infantry to go into battle.

After the combined devastation of the Allies and the Germans, the buffer zone between the two sides is now indistinguishable from the surface of the moon, with craters scattered everywhere on the surface. After two years of war, soldiers on both sides have long become accustomed to these phenomena. Since suffering losses in the Battle of the Somme, the coalition skirmishers have long been lined up. Looking down from the sky, the infantry wing, which stretched a huge width, was like a giant beast that kept moving forward, eating away at the small forces of the German army that were still on the periphery of the defensive line, until they were stopped when they came to the front of the defensive line.

The cruelty of the war was truly displayed in front of Sun Qian and his party from this moment.

After a day of fighting, the tired two sides stopped fighting as if they had made an appointment. The two parties are like going to work, clocking in and out on time. After that, the medics on both sides rushed to the center of the battlefield at the same time, and after carrying the soldiers who were still alive back to their positions on stretchers, the remaining sacrificed soldiers could only wait, because their transportation capacity could not be used for these things, in fact, many corpses would be torn to pieces by the shells of both sides the next day.

After a day of fighting, not only did they fail to occupy even one of the opponent's peripheral positions, but they also lost a lot of money, and the coalition commanders on the front line naturally would not give up.

Early the next morning, Sun Qian was woken up again by the artillery fire of the coalition forces.

"Young master, do you think you can make some progress today?" , Sun Xing asked.

"Enough, don't look at these guys fighting old, but the tactics are too dull. If this continues, I guess it will give them another week to lay down the German forward position. Sun Qian also felt strange about the tactical arrangement of the coalition forces, and a good surprise operation was simply turned into a positional battle. The suddenness of the campaign simply ceased to exist. No wonder there were so many casualties.

"So what do we do?" , Sun Xing asked again.

"What to do, cold salad, don't forget our current identity." , Sun Qian replied angrily.

In fact, Sun Qian was also taken aback when he looked at the casualties of the coalition forces yesterday. Although he felt that he still underestimated the firepower density of the warring sides, the coalition soldiers still attacked again and again without hesitation on such a battlefield with dense firepower, which really made Sun Qian not know how to evaluate them.

The two tactically backward sides gathered in one place, and the mutual assault after the posture was the norm between the Allied forces and the German army, and the comparison was to see who resisted the beating, without any technical content. If two people beat each other, Sun Gan still agrees, but if it is replaced by a war between countries, Sun Qian really looks down on these generals who use the lives of soldiers as bargaining chips.

In any case, the war continued, and after another half a month, the balance of the war tilted a little in the direction of the German army, and the reason turned out to be that the Germans used storm commandos. At first, the coalition thought they were defenseless, but later it turned out that even if they were prepared, they didn't have the slightest way to deal with these elusive guys. The opponent's automatic weapon and grenade combo gave the coalition forces trying to ambush them a taste of what it means to be a fire-intensive phobia.

Another day, the Coalition had no choice but to turn to Lieutenant Colonel Memphis for help, knowing that he was the only one who could help the Coalition solve the problem quickly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis decided to assign Sun Qian's A Company to go directly to the front line to catch mice. As for the remaining three companies, they were directly scattered to various units of the coalition army to teach, and a group of similar commandos could be trained as soon as possible. Of course, you have to guard against it, otherwise it is not good for the apprentices to starve to death the master.

…………

In the middle of the night, Sun Qian lurked in a hidden observation post on both fronts. This is their second day here, it is past midnight, and the military doctors who came to clean up the battlefield have long since returned to their respective phalanxes, and without the sound of gunfire, the whole battle line is extremely quiet, only the crows that peck at human flesh fall from time to time.

After exchanging views with the front-line troops, Sun Qian found that the German Storm Commandos were all quick to fight and retreat, and each time they caused a certain amount of damage to the allied forces, they immediately retreated, never dragging their feet. Their purpose is obvious, which is to constantly harass the coalition forces and make them dare not rest at night, so as to demoralize the coalition forces.

Through the efforts of Sun Xing and a group of platoon commanders, Sun Gan summed up the information obtained from everyone and found that the scale of this German army was not large, and the route of action was relatively hidden, but it was not without a trace.

First of all, the Germans were a little carried away by several victories, and one route had been used three times before, and the rest had only one time, which showed that this route gave them peace of mind. Sun Qian also went to the field to investigate, and indeed found that this place was not suitable for ambush.

Secondly, the coalition forces have always been passive on the defensive, and have never taken the initiative to attack, and several so-called ambushes have only been for show, and have not put pressure on the German army at all, so that the German army can come and go freely.

Third, the problem of equipment, compared with the configuration of the regular German troops, the German commandos used more automatic weapons, grenades and flamethrowers suitable for trench assault, which made it impossible for the allied soldiers to effectively counterattack under the enemy's fire, and almost every time they were easily captured by the German commandos.

And Sun Qian's A Company is different from the coalition forces, they are not only equipped with a lot of automatic firepower, but they also have professional camouflage skills. Coupled with their skillful tactical coordination ability, Sun Qian is still very confident in this mission.

The location chosen by Sun Qian was the route that the Germans had repeatedly used three times, and although it was not easy to ambush here, it was not impossible to ambush. Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides during the day, Sun Gan lurked with his men and horses. Some of them shoveled up the whole piece of land, dug deep into the ground to hide the whole person, and then covered the whole piece of turf back, and people couldn't find it until they approached. There are also those who want to climb the tree directly after wearing camouflage clothes and are scolded by their own superiors, you are a commando and not a daredevil, change places.

After the initial confusion, the people who had been systematically trained finally became effective under the command of their respective commanders. By the time the battlefield calmed down at night, Sun Gan's A Company had already formed a complete pocket array.
