Chapter 998: 16. Fortress vs. Fortress (23)

Until the Defense Force launched counter-artillery bombardment, all the artillery on hand of the Charlemagne Army carried out a total of 80 minutes of concentrated barrage shooting at the outer trench system of the Gefi defense line. Even when the enemy's shells roared overhead, the gunners remained on their posts until they died.
Their performance is not brave, but the result of their efforts is really speechless.
In the decisive battle plan drawn up by the Wang’s Army General Staff, these ground artillery forces destined to play only one role are responsible for destroying the enemy’s forward trenches and the surrounding barbed wire zone. The artillery did launch a massive artillery cover. But no one thought about it, or thought about it, and there was no way to solve one of the most basic problems, whether Charlieman’s artillery equipment was suitable for the task given.
Since the production line of the new artillery has just entered the track, the output has not yet gone up, and the impact of the enemy air strangulation battle, the number of new rear-mounted Dahlgren rifled guns on the Rhine front is only 27, and the rest are mostly old front-mounted. The smoothbore guns are mostly 8-pound and 2-pound guns. The equipment sequence of the entire artillery cluster is not so much to show the magnificent military capacity of the Charlemagne army, but rather a large-scale field exhibition of the history of the development of the equipment of the Charlemagne artillery. The process used to engage in national defense education is similar.
The artillery is already like this bird, but the shells are less powerful than the cannon. The artillery happily led the artillery shells out of the box and found out that almost all the boxes of shells were shrapnel. This kind of artillery shell has little charge, and most of them explode in the sky, bursting and shooting hundreds of steel balls, scrap metal fragments, and sometimes gears removed from old clocks. It's not bad for killing exposed soldiers. It's not good for breaking obstacles. If the fuze exploded a fraction of a second earlier, the scattered all-metal storm would miss the barbed wire; if the fuse detonated too late, the shrapnel exploded directly in the soil, and the barbed wire could not be destroyed at all. Only skilled and experienced gunners can master the setting of the shrapnel fuze that effectively destroys the barbed wire, but such people have never been many. The level of most gunners can only be said to be "very ordinary". The bombardment effect on the barbed wire zone can be imagined And know.
Another shortcoming of the Charlemagne artillery was the lack of large-caliber howitzers and ammunition to deal with fortifications and underground bunkers. There are only 34 Dahlgren guns with 3 pounds and larger caliber on the entire front, and they are also scattered in different areas.
Of course, the most disappointing Charlie Man soldiers were the shells-especially the quality of the fuze. Some fuzes were too sensitive and exploded in mid-air, and more simply dumb bombs. The defense observers claimed in the report to the superior that one-third of the shells coming across from the opposite side were dummies. There were many dummies lying in the craters that were smashed out of the front of the position. There were hundreds of them in front of only one observation post. As many dumb bullets. Perhaps there are exaggerated ingredients, and individual orphans cannot confirm that the dumb bomb rate will reach an astonishing one-third, but it also reflects from the side that Charlieman’s military production is not only keeping up with quality while tapping potential and expanding production capacity. Progress, and there is a decline.
In any case, the artillery has done everything they can, even if it is suppressed by the anti-artillery fire of the defense army, they are still trying their best to fire a shell to show their existence and determination to fight in the end. Now, it is the turn of the infantry to show their skills and courage.
The moment the climber climbed out of the ladder, many officers realized that they might not be able to go back today. The previous bombardment did show good sound and light effects, and at one time it produced a beautiful fantasy. When the fog cleared and the real battlefield was in front of everyone, the boldest officer could not help but take a breath.
In some places the barbed wire was blown up, in some places the barbed wire was blown open several times, and more intact. Many soldiers who were told that the offense would be a "walk in the sun" instantly lost their minds. When they looked over the Siegfried line, they could only find the barbed wire, the complete enemy fortifications, and the whole world. Dumb bullet.
Even so, the first wave of Charlemagne infantry attacked was still fearless. Zero hour-The war time set by the Wangjia Army General Staff arrived at 7:30. The soldiers wore clean and beautiful military uniforms, rifles were fitted with bayonets, bolts were loaded, and the backpack and helmet straps were adjusted for the last time. At this moment, everything depends on the captain, the lieutenant, the lieutenant, the sergeant, the first-class soldiers and the soldiers. The cry of an unknown soldier represents the voice of all the soldiers participating in the war.
"For the sake of the mother god, we are on the road!"
Immediately after the prelude of the loud bugle sounded, the war song of the Rhine Army sung by thousands of people rang through the battlefield, and the ferocious singing even overshadowed the rumble of artillery.
Usually at this time, the gunners of the Defence Forces will never miss the perfect opportunity for so many targets to get out of the trenches, but now they are busy dealing with their counterparts on the other hand, making corrections based on the data provided by the observers. Mega-choir. I had to give the infantry brothers the responsibility of greeting the guests.
In the face of opponents who were in a parade, the defense infantry responded quickly and fatally. The garrison standing by in the underground bunker quickly entered the position. Wait for the command of Lieutenant General Camp to send the Charlemagne to Valhalla (Admiral said that something else may not be remembered, this sentence was kept in mind by the big soldiers and was thoroughly implemented) Tat, the first batch of machine guns went into battle and easily fired at the foremost "living target". In the intensive sound of ripping cloth, the pieces of Charlieman soldiers fell down. Some soldiers struggled to get out of the trench and were hit by a intensive rain of bullets. They stumbled back to the trench. Some soldiers uttered their lives even before falling back to the trench. A soldier raised his head and saw that the second lieutenant had just climbed a few steps along the ladder. The whole person took off and flew out. The soldiers and comrades were surprised how the platoon leader had the flying function. The body weight fell to the bottom of the trench Only then did everyone discover that the second lieutenant's head was shattered with the helmet.
The general-purpose machine gun nicknamed "Tear Machine" once again proved that its reputation is by no means manifest. Even in an indistinguishable high-speed shooting sound, the pouring rain of 7.92㎜ machine gun shells spilled on the unexpected Charman. This general-purpose aircraft was seized in Omaha Beach, another world. It has already verified the great power of the US soldiers as a stronghold defense weapon. Now facing the dense formation of the Charmans, it is even equivalent to death. Exist, wherever the muzzle of the spitting tongue points, the death sickle slashes the sickle to harvest the soul. Often a point shot hits, and the life ends. Coupled with the 7.92㎜ machine gun ammunition is enough, even if there is no hit, the huge kinetic energy and the rolling of the warhead will cause huge damage to the body tissue. Due to the poor medical conditions on the battlefield, even if they can escape a life, the lucky ones who were hit in the legs and arms will find that the doctor who is good at amputation is walking towards him with a saw, his face full of gentle smiles
Compared with the large number of assault rifles equipped, and the general machine guns that are well known and feared by the Charlemagne due to the number of killings and unique shooting sounds, the 2.7㎜ heavy machine gun seems to have some sense of inadequacy, but the Charlieman soldiers are the same, even more Awe in this slow fire weapon. You need to know that if you are hit by a general-purpose machine gun, you still have a chance to leave a life. If you are hit by a large-caliber heavy machine gun, you will either have your waist cut in two, or you will have a large vent in the chest. If you hit your hands and feet, the doctor will Amputations are saved. What's more terrible is that experienced machine gunners also use high parabolic trajectories to drive bullets into the trenches, so that there is no safety on the battlefield. ..
With the addition of grenade launchers and rapid-fire cannons, any group targets gathered together will be bathed in deadly bullet rain.
Charlemagne infantry certainly knew what it meant to line up or gather together in an open area, exposed to a large number of opponents with automatic weapons. But they have no choice.
The Xiasaibo rifle did not need to line up the troops to ensure the hit rate and rate of fire. The inherent fire rate and accuracy advantages of the post-fire rifle should have been to liberate the infantry from the queue shooting mode. Come out, making infantry unit tactics and prone shooting possible~EbookFREE.me~ However, in contrast to the rapid technological advancement, the tactical thinking of the officer class, the corresponding regulations and training system are far behind, in order to maintain battlefield discipline and command To a large extent, the Army of the Wang family still continued the tactical regulations of the pre-loaded rifle era. In order to solve this problem, Roland painstakingly planned to establish a group of crash officer training schools to achieve the metabolism of the officer system through battlefield consumption and practice. Unfortunately, the development of the situation is too late to implement such urgent measures.
So obviously there are new weapons in hand, in order to avoid the tactical and equipment adjustments caused by the decline in combat effectiveness (here, for example, in the early days of Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi Germans can achieve tremendous results, in addition to undeclared fighting, strategic deception, and Soviet cleansing As a result of factors such as severely impaired command system capabilities, the Soviet army is also in an important period of transition in equipment and combat thinking. Just as the snake was the most vulnerable when the shell was unshelled, the Soviet Red Army, which was undergoing refitting in 1994, is in a trough of combat effectiveness. If the Soviet-German war was delayed until 942, the Soviet mobilized soldiers would be as familiar as the Red Navy infantry and be able to fully utilize the performance of new automatic weapons such as svt-40. The German infantry of the tiered defense system will have a harder time resisting the Red Army’s volleyball charge at the regimental level. Without the depth of Germany, in the face of the large-depth breakthrough tactics formed by the torrent of steel, it will persist until at most 944. The infantry with the new weapons continued their outdated tactics. In terms of results, the command system can indeed continue to function, but the casualty rate has reached a shocking height.
Someone keeps falling down, some people keep filling up, and the blood and red pants everywhere draw a thin red line on the ground, stretching from one end of the horizon to the other.
