I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

After three days of continuous reconnaissance, the Chinese army took a large number of trench photos.

A group of military experts studied the photos to find the weaknesses of the trenches.

"Here, here are their machine gun fire points, these are their foxholes, and here are their communication trenches with the rear. After pulling out their fire points, they can concentrate their forces to advance. After entering the trenches, they quickly block the communication trenches to prevent the enemy from retreating and reinforce.

For those bunkers in the trenches, the best weapons are grenades and flamethrowers..."

"There is no point in occupying a section of the trench. We must continue to advance and reach a certain depth to destroy the system."

"Here, here, and here are where they deploy heavy troops. The defense in other places is relatively weak. However, these places where heavy troops are deployed can quickly support these places."

"Our troops do not have an advantage and a full-scale attack is not feasible. We should concentrate our efforts to break through at one or a few points."

.......

After everyone studied it, they all expressed their opinions and deduced from each other.

Trench is not simple, but as complicated as it is, it is not too complicated for these experienced commanders.

They could guess the function of the gadgets in the trench at a glance.

After some discussion, everyone had a fairly in-depth understanding of the trenches and put forward some targeted solutions.

Subsequently, the Chinese army began to formulate a plan for a general offensive.

What Dahua hates most is a war of attrition. Even with their strength, no one can consume them.

But they are unwilling to carry out the kind of consumption of killing one thousand enemies and injuring five hundred themselves. They prefer to deal with the enemy at once, defeat the enemy, and win the battle at the minimum cost.

Therefore, Dahua's tactical style has always been to stay still, and to attack with one move.

The federal command, Kenner and others were also confused by the abnormal behavior of the Chinese army.

Of course, they would not naively think that the Chinese Army and the Independent Army would give up the attack because of one or two failed charges. War is not such a trivial matter.

Obviously, the Chinese army is planning a big move.

But they couldn't guess exactly what the Chinese army would do.

The defensive side can only resort to tricks and lacks initiative.

"How about we launch a surprise attack and take the initiative?"

Lorenz suggested.

"No, this is too risky and unnecessary. We can now rely on trenches to erase the advantage of the Chinese army's weapons and equipment in defense. Why should we give up this advantage?"

Another commander immediately objected.

In his opinion, stability should be sought at the moment, as the federal army cannot afford to lose.

Not many people agreed with Lorenz's suggestion. Everyone wanted stability, or to have confidence in the trench's defense system.

While they were still guessing how the Independence Army would launch an attack, the sound of artillery fire came from the front line.

They can tell from the sound of artillery that the Chinese army is attacking, because there are some differences between the sound of their artillery and the sound of the Chinese army's artillery, and they can tell it when there are a lot of them.

More exaggerated veterans can even hear the model, type, caliber and other information of the opponent's artillery from the sound.

"Attention, the enemy may be about to launch a general attack."

Kenner also had an understanding of the Chinese army's tactical style and made accurate judgments.

"The order is given to hold the position and not to take a step back. This wave of enemy attacks will definitely be very fierce, but as long as we block this wave of enemy attacks, they may be forced to retreat."

Kenner asked those mid-level commanders to immediately enter the front line and take command.

After all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. It will definitely be too late to expect the headquarters to dispatch and command by then, and they don't have a phone.

Only those officers with high military literacy can go to the front line and make orders such as support, persistence, and transfer based on the actual situation on the battlefield.

"As commanded."

Everyone took orders one after another.

On the front line, Chinese soldiers and soldiers of the Independence Army were already advancing under the cover of artillery fire.

This time they divided their troops into three groups to attack simultaneously. The main force of the Chinese army was naturally responsible for the main attack group.

Although the Chinese army also wanted the independent army to rush to the front and take advantage of the rear.

But the current situation is that the independent army alone can no longer break through the enemy's defense system.

Continuing to let the independent army attack alone will basically mean killing people and consuming the enemy's ammunition, which is of little significance.

In desperation, Hua Jun could only appear in person.

The Chinese army was in the middle, followed by a part of the independent army.

The Chinese army is responsible for attacking the fortress, and the independent army is responsible for keeping up with the remaining enemies and pursuing them.

Artillery shells continued to fall on the federal army's positions, but the effect was very limited.

Curved and narrow trenches can effectively reduce the damage of Dahua artillery shells.

Of course, no matter how limited the threat is, it is still a threat and a deterrent to federal soldiers.

The Chinese army was much more comfortable. They didn't have to worry about being shelled on the way to the charge.

The artillery of the federal army had been cleared by the artillery of the Chinese army as early as the last time it fired.

The only dozen or so artillery pieces left by the federal army were simply hidden and stopped firing at this time. A dozen artillery pieces are like a drop in the bucket and have no effect on the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of people.

Might as well stay

Wait until special periods or critical moments to use it.

"Get up and fight back. The damn enemy is already within range. Do you still want to bury your heads in the sand?"

On the position, the grassroots commanders of the federal army were running in the trenches to supervise the battle.

In the trenches, the soldiers were actually very dispersed. One soldier had to defend a front of five or six meters.

Otherwise, they don't have that many people to defend hundreds of miles of defense, let alone the need for defense in depth.

A company must defend a line of defense of five to six hundred meters.

The commander of a company doesn't have to run in the trenches to command everyone.

Of course, the Chinese army's charge team was actually very scattered.

Basically, there are three people in a group, and the distance between each group is as long as ten or twenty meters.

This is to guard against enemy machine guns. If the distance is too close, a large area will be swept away by the enemy's machine guns.

Although the soldiers are scattered, their combat effectiveness is not weak at all.

As long as a team of three is close to the enemy, there are many things they can do.

Not a single squad member in the federal army dared to say that they could stop the three-man team of the Chinese army.

After all, one of the three-person team of the Chinese army was armed with a submachine gun, and the other two were armed with automatic rifles, and they were also equipped with a large number of grenades.

The firepower it can burst out in an instant is more powerful than a squad of the federal army, but its sustainability is slightly less.

However, the federal army still did not dare to take it lightly. After they determined the attack direction of the main force of the Chinese army, the reserve team in the rear immediately went to this section of the defense line to reinforce.
