The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 673: Infantry Battle 2

"In terms of scale, their machine gun teams are no different from ordinary combat teams. They are all composed of 3 to 4 people. These machine guns are very light and easy to transfer, and there are many of them. They can shoot against the heavy machine guns we have in bunkers. Don't suffer any loss." But this time, the Prussian machine gun team encountered a powerful enemy. Equipped with the new BMG05 general-purpose machine gun, the vanguard team brought mobile and flexible tactics to the extreme. The machine gun group mixed in the skirmisher line gradually approached the Prussian skirmisher line, and then used precise bursts to clear out the exposed infantry, or used Continuous shooting suppresses the opponent's vitality points. Although the 75MM drum drum does not have enough firepower as the bullet chain, it still makes the Prussian machine gun team worry about one thing and the other.

But even with the machine gun firepower being restrained, the Prussian defense line still showed no signs of collapse. The Prussian Army was also equipped with a large number of semi-automatic rifles, and in order to fight this war, they temporarily strengthened them a lot. Fast weapons can still cause great damage to infantry charging in groups even without machine gun firepower as a backbone.

In order to fight against artillery and machine guns, the Prussian Army's soil work was also higher than in history. Although time was tight and it was impossible to build a complete trench system, relying on complete parapets and individual bunkers, the Prussian Army, which was in a favorable location, tried its best Resist the opponent's attack.

Small grenade launchers are almost useless when faced with a large number of individual bunkers. High-trajectory weapons like mortars are inherently less accurate and lack effective aiming devices. If you want to destroy a vertical target with an area of ​​less than one square meter, It's almost impossible to build a bunker, but it doesn't matter, the Bavarian Legion is equipped with another weapon.

Herman skillfully installed a short and thick tube on his rifle, then fed a blank round into the chamber, then a cork, and finally, took out a grenade slightly smaller than a hand grenade. Fill it from a short thick tube,

"Concentrate firepower, open a gap here, let the submachine gunners rush in, and we will win!" Under Hermann's command, seven or eight rifles equipped with grenade launchers were aimed at a certain bunker, accompanied by There was a burst of short explosions, and rounds of 30MM rifle grenades landed densely behind the individual bunker. The continuous explosions blew off a large piece of the entire parapet, and at the same time, the scattered shrapnel also tore apart the wooden target behind. According to the regulations of the exercise, the enemy troops behind this bunker have been cleared.

The accompanying grenadiers immediately threw smoke grenades near the breach. A small group of soldiers armed with MP05 submachine guns rushed into the trench under the cover of smoke, and a random burst of gunfire sounded like exploding beans from the trench. A group of Prussian soldiers who had just arrived from elsewhere to prepare to block the gap saw this small but highly lethal melee weapon for the first time.

"This rapid-fire weapon is very short, only two-thirds of the length of a rifle. There is a round drum under the gun, and there is a handle under the handguard in front of the barrel. This weapon with a rate of fire similar to that of a machine gun is part-time It’s a nightmare in trench warfare. If it were in actual combat, a submachine gunner could clear out a squad of enemies in just ten seconds!”

When the trenches were judged to have been lost, the final machine gun positions were also suppressed. Bock's entire left wing was being eaten away bit by bit. and develop in depth. Simple three-by-three infantry tactics and sophisticated infantry weapons successfully broke through the opponent's defense line under the cover of armored vehicles. Although the whole process was not amazing, as the saying goes, the heavy sword has no edge, Bock knew the opponent's tactics and targeted the opponent's tactics. I made arrangements to maximize the advantage of the terrain and the defenders, but I just couldn’t beat him!

The same situation also occurs on other battlefields,

Even the performance of the other three Prussian battalions was not as good as that of Bock. Even the most tragic battalion was because the terrain was too open. After the three rapid-fire cannons were destroyed, they were directly supported by the Bavarian armored vehicles on the edge of the trench, like pouring water. Pound shells and 82MM mortars obliterated all machine gun nests and fire points. Then, under the attack of a large number of general-purpose machine guns, the entire position became fragmented. Finally, the commando members who entered the trenches used submachine guns to clear them one by one.

The smaller the size of the army and the simpler the arms, the fewer combinations can be made. To apply a later saying, team battles basically rely on A. Because there aren’t that many things for you to use your imagination and creativity. In this battalion-scale battle against A, the Prussian Army obviously did not have a combination of armored vehicles, general-purpose machine guns, and submachine guns that was just ahead of the Bavarian Army. From 1500 meters away to 150 meters. The Bavarian Army had no openings for fire. Mortars, machine guns, general-purpose machine guns, semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns form a layered rolling barrage advancing forward. All non-permanent offensives will be wiped out in this fire net!

The strength of the two sides was almost the same, the battlefield was almost like a field battle, and there were no major problems with the tactics of both sides. The equipment gap is too big. There is really no way to do it. The defense line that Moltke just occupied instantly became precarious, but now neither Moltke nor Ruprecht put too much energy into the offensive and defensive battle of the infantry. Above, the Bavarian Armored Corps is ready to go, ready to directly cross the opponent's newly occupied defense line and cut the opponent to the rear.

Naturally, Xiao Maoqi couldn't have lost four battalions and retreated in vain. The battle had reached this point, both sides had paid a huge price and were ready for a decisive battle. How could they give up halfway? With the roar of the engine after starting, the Bavarian Armored Corps was ready to set off.

"The Prussians concentrated all their mobile forces and transportation vehicles and deployed a long and narrow position in the area between the two original cordons. More than 80% of their rapid-fire artillery was concentrated here. Your Highness asks you to be careful and don't Go too deep, always pay attention to your flanks, and leave enough reserves." Before Schmidt set off, he received another order from the prince.

"Got it, get ready to go!" Randomly, Baron Schmidt gave the order to attack and sat in a half-track vehicle. The 55 Hu Feng assault guns and Cricket tanks were divided into three parts, including 15 Hu Feng assault guns. A huge wedge-shaped attack formation was formed in front of the entire army. Behind them were 12 Cricket tanks to provide support, and behind them were two battalions of infantry and self-propelled mortars. At the very back of the position are six 105MM self-propelled howitzers and four 150MM heavy self-propelled howitzers.
