Chapter 997: 16. Fortress vs. Fortress (22)

The decisive battle on the 7th of Muyue started as usual with artillery battles, but this time the protagonist changed from the defense artillery to the Charlemagne artillery.
Logistics has never been an easy task. The fields involved include production, manufacturing, procurement, storage, security, transportation, distribution... Even if Roland has designed a highly feasible logistics transportation system, there are still behind it A thousand professionals with accounting certificates and nearly 300,000 laborers are supporting the operation of this system. It is important to know that each box of bullets and each box of screws has its own unique number and specially planned delivery route and schedule. Without such a huge system support, it will not only avoid the previous confusion, but also create new ones. Trouble-In the environment without computers and the Internet, it is such a complicated, trivial and delicate job to manage and support the battle of millions of people.
Relying on the outbreak of the logistics system, Charlieman finally put together a fairly objective artillery cluster on the Rhine front, with a total of 1,330 artillery of various types, each with an average of 5 base shells. For such a decisive battle that determines the fate of the country, the above data is of course far from enough, but now the air cannon can still have its own artillery to speak, and the front-line troops should snicker.
At 7:30 in the morning, the ready-to-go Charlemagne cannon fired flames at the defense line. The Charlemagne artillery, determined to learn his opponent, locked the target into the barbed wire zone and the first trench, intending to use fierce artillery preparations to completely destroy the frontal trench group of the defense force, and then the infantry quickly followed up and easily won the target. Then the artillery moved forward again and bombarded the next trench... so repeatedly, with the successive attack tactics of bombardment-infantry impact-then bombardment-then infantry impact, one by one to break through the defense line of the defense, until Eventually broke through the entire defensive zone, and then thrown into cavalry to outlay Iselon fort.
Some people may be wondering why there is no suppression of enemy artillery in the combat plans of the ground forces. In fact, the army of the Charlemagne family is not a fool or forgetfulness. Of course, they clearly understand the importance of suppression for long-range firepower of the army. There are only so many artillery shells, and it is not enough to use them to blast off the fortifications. Where is the extra ammunition for the artillery to squander on the enemy artillery without knowing the detailed location and the range. 【】
In any case, the infantry who have been pressed and beaten can hear the rumbling of their own artillery, which is a great encouragement to morale. For the first time, Charlemagne soldiers who had been shrunk in the trenches dared to step out of the trenches and look out at the positions of the defense forces shrouded in smoke and explosions. Looking at the blooming flowers of death in front of me, the "Queen of the Marines (the nickname of the infantry, the nickname of the cavalry is the queen of the battlefield, and the nickname of the artillery is the goddess of the battlefield)" have been ignored. Under the danger of being fired and sniped, he used various slogans and gestures to express his resentment in the bottom of his heart, and incidentally cheered the artillery, regardless of the weight on his body that was almost the same as his weight.
For the first wave of Charlieman infantry, the weight-bearing may be more than the enemy of ghosts and animals. In addition to carrying a rifle and bayonet, they also have two pairs of simple gas masks, 150 rounds of bullets, and two chain grenades with slings (carrying for the trained grenadier, the battle is clearer How to use the grenadier of this weapon), 2 empty sandbags (used to capture the trenches of the enemy and fill them with sand and build sandbags), 1 shovel, 1 barbed wire pliers, 1 dry torch and quilt, Personal items such as food. Because of the thoughtful preparations of the superiors, each soldier carried an average of 35 to 38 kilograms, and the physical exertion was very fast when the impact was initiated. If it weren’t for the fortifications on the opposite side, it would be utterly frustrating, the infantry would definitely throw things like rifles, bayonets, grenades on the ground, and cursed,
Who would charge these ghosts for a continuous day!

Now the unilateral performance of the artillery of the side has reinforced this idea, and many optimistic soldiers began to unload "less important things" such as personal items and gas masks to reduce weight. And the officers who were infected with optimism fully demonstrated their blind optimism in the mobilization speech to the soldiers.
"You will use your cane instead of a rifle to rush into enemy positions. When you enter the trenches of the enemy, you will find that there are corpses of spooky ears and animals, and even mice will not be spared by this violent shelling. .【】"
"You will not face any resistance. The enemy will be killed or injured. You will arrive at the periphery of Iselon fort at 11 am. The field kitchen will walk with you and make a delicious meal for everyone before the final attack."
"When the Siegfried line is breached, everyone can stretch out, light a cigarette, and walk all the way to Yalfheim. You won't encounter a living ghost before seeing a beautiful woman with pointed ears."
"Remember! Kill every ghost animal you see! Bomb off his head, pierce his stomach, pull out his intestines, and finally kick his hard! Only dead ghost animals are good ghost animals! Forget to look at their wrists, watches are valuable things! Remember the word Ur (clock), and don’t pull down other good things! Ghosts are very rich..."
The above reviews and speeches were all "improvisations" performed in the context of endless shelling. Regardless of the content of the speech, the fierce artillery preparation did indeed add a reassurance to the soldiers.
It would be nice if this heart-warming pill could last longer.
"Are all enemy artillery positions marked?"
Lieutenant General Camp's voice sounded like a heavy metal. After receiving the answer from the tactical broadcaster "All marked, the artillery group is waiting for your instructions at any time," the commander of the fortress nodded slightly, without any emotional command in the air. Hissing.
"Do it!"
The simple vocabulary spread rapidly along the radio waves, and it took only ten seconds to spread through all artillery positions. Then it was turned into countless shells and hit the Charlieman artillery positions.
The Defense Force once again proved that Charlieman’s secret system is an extra large colander. When various materials continue to enter the Rhine front, the Defense Army not only knows the quantity and type of materials, but also arranges some personnel, transportation routes, and general attacks. The start time is clear. It was only because of the uneconomical cost and some unknown purpose that this gave up expanding the range of air strangulation.
Yes, the time of the attack, the deployment of the troops, the position of the artillery, the dismantling of the howitzer and the introduction into the trench, the bottom of the sandbags to make a simple mortar, the time when the infantry launched the charge, when and where the cavalry team attacked, encountered How to deal with the upper block-every detail from start to finish is in the hands of the defense.
The reason for deliberately allowing Charlemagne to continue bombardment is to confirm and verify the authenticity of intelligence on the one hand, and to protect the intelligence network that penetrates Charlemagne in this way on the other hand.
The truth in war is so precious that it is necessary to protect the truth with lies.
It's that simple.
Fortunately, the Defense Force does not have to sacrifice a city to protect those.
From 81㎜ to 420㎜, each kind of artillery that could reach the Charlemagne artillery position sprayed flames, and the death storm composed of countless steel projectiles fell on the Charlemagne artillery heads in the blink of an eye. Those who were tired and sweaty, and the shirtless man carrying the shells were suddenly in the of iron and fire.
Whether it is an air-detonated shotgun, a special incendiary bomb, or an ordinary grenade, every shell dropped from the sky is a deadly test for the Charlieman artillery position where the shells and propellant are stacked in the open air, not to mention this densely packed group. Only the first round of artillery fire covered nearly 80% of the artillery.
"Go forward! For Charlemagne!"
"go ahead!"
The officers didn’t seem to be affected by the artillery’s miserable encounter and judgement and courage. They pulled out their command knives and pointed to the smoky front, followed by the military band playing the magnificent "Rhein Legion War Song", wearing a loud song, wearing Adrian Steel Helmet, a crowd of people wearing blue army coats and red pants jumped out of the trench. Fear straight forward without fear.
Let's go! The children of the motherland,
Le.jour.de.gloire.est.arrivé.
The glorious day has come~EbookFREE.me~ It was rampant against us,
L\'éé,
The blood-stained banner has been raised!
l\'éé.
The blood-stained banner has been raised!
The soldiers of Charlemagne raised their battle flags and sang forward. Their high fighting spirit and heroic posture, even the enemy's defense force, could not help moving.
"Ah, how brave people!"
Lieutenant Kemp, who witnessed this scene through the academic light, sighed from the heart.
Camp knew very well that Charlieman soldiers knew what was waiting for them next, and he also knew that these soldiers were also flesh and blood, not monsters that were afraid of pain and death. Based on these two premises, these soldiers still go to the death ground where even 1,000 people can't achieve each other. The impulse of life behind the sight of death and the passionate passion of the Charlemagne made him an enemy commander who could not help but give praise.
There was a moment of unbearable expression on the unsmiling cold face, but it disappeared without a trace.
The commander of the fortress suddenly stood up for a military salute, and the voice of emotion spread through the entire Siegfried line through the communication system.
"Gentlemen, the enemy has started to attack! If one day you are in the position of Charlemagne soldiers at this moment and participate in a battle of such great strength, I hope that all of you present today can fight as vigorously as the Charlieman warriors! Now, let us use a grand welcome ceremony to send these brave men born in the wrong era to Valhalla!!"
With this command full of romantic blood, the more brutal and fierce second act began on the day known as "Blood Day" in later generations. .
