Chapter 32 Infantry Blitz I

After the plan was deployed, all the troops entered the preparation stage, but the heavy artillery brigade was still performing artillery missions every day, and the sound of artillery was constantly recalling the sound of artillery on the 20-kilometer defense line ahead. In the Allied Command Center far away in Paris, Betan and Heg were studying how to use the US military.

"What does the United States mean? With such a young general, there is not even a lieutenant general in their first echelon. Although they took over some of the defenses, they are only twenty kilometers." Beta said.

Hege did not agree with it, "This is normal. The US military is a recruit. They have never experienced the war. Although there are fifty divisions and twenty brigades, their organization seems to be very small, with each division having more than 10,000 people, not even half of us, but their weapons are good."

"Well, that's true. It's not possible to count on them, but where do we need to replenish the troops we replace?"

"Put it on the front line of the Marne River. How about trying to attack again at the end of the year?" Hege wanted to attack very much.

"This..." Betan had to consider his ex, who was dismissed because of the loss of too much in a battle, so he was very hesitant and directly changed the subject. "I heard that the Americans are now bombarding every day. Do they have any actions?"

"How is it possible? What can their recruits do? Good equipment does not mean that they have combat effectiveness."

The two of them didn't know that Wesley had deployed an attack and did not notify the headquarters. The spy war of double-off was going on. Wesley didn't know whether the news would be leaked, so he didn't inform him at all. Although this was a big disadvantage and might make the US military fight alone, Wesley didn't care about these things at all. His troops had enough strength to deal with it, and he was not afraid even if he faced two million enemies.

On September 27, 1917, the battle here will be different. At six o'clock in the morning, the heavy artillery brigade began to shell again. This time, there were ten heavy artillery brigades, plus fifty divisions' 105mm howitzers. This was the first large-scale assembly and use of rapid-fire cannons in human history. This was not comparable to the French "Miss 75" and was completely out of the same level.

"Boom boom boom" The 20-kilometer German defense line was trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and the troops of the First Army were already preparing. They would conduct non-run coordination. After an hour of artillery bombardment, the artillery began to extend. Then the soldiers jumped out of the trenches, one squad as units, divided into three combat groups, and advanced through the finished character. Their tactics were carried out completely according to the new infantry exercise scriptures.

These soldiers are recruits, but they have been trained for two years, and there is no problem with their tactical actions. However, the soldiers who have never seen blood are recruits after all, and this is their first time.

The vanguards of the three divisions were concentrated at three points, and the subsequent troops continued to follow up. The artillery bombardment had been replaced with 75mm rapid-fire guns, and all heavy artillery was extended. This was to prevent accidental injuries. They began to deploy mortar groups 500 meters in front of the local position. When the soldiers arrived at the local position 200 meters, the artillery bombardment stopped, and then a large number of machine guns began to prepare and soldiers assaulted.

The German positions were in a panic. They didn't know whether the enemy had attacked, but the observation whistle could finally see the situation ahead. "The enemy attacked." There were loud shouts, and the surviving observation whistle shouted loudly, and then the whistle was blew. The whistle was commonly used in the war, and this was very useful for conveying messages.

The Germans picked up their weapons and came to their own combat posts, but at this moment, a harsh whistle sound came, "Architecture". Mortars had been used in World War I, but they were not used a lot. However, these soldiers had been subjected to different artillery bombardment for two years, and they were used to it, but this time they miscalculated because there were too many mortars, 60mm, 80mm, and 120mm mortars attacked in groups, and the trenches now were not zigzags.

A straight trench, the lethality of a shell can be maximized. In the five minutes of shelling, the infantry had moved to a 100-meter position on the front line. They prepared grenades. The shelling stopped. The soldiers jumped up and rushed to a distance of fifty meters quickly. Then the grenades were thrown out.

The "boom" exploded again, and the German army was about to collapse. The shelling for a week, followed by a larger-scale shelling today, followed by a shelling. Now they can't tell what it is.

"Bang...Dada...Dadada...Dadada" different gunfires sounded, and the US military had already attacked the front line of positions, and the power of the automatic weapons was fully exerted. "Continue to attack and advance." The troops of the first three divisions had no other tasks, just attack and advance. They were like fish in water in the trenches, and a grenade was from the Gibson submachine gun to open the way. Under the alternate cover of automatic weapons, they were as powerful as a bamboo shoot.

And agreeing to time, behind the German defense line, a fleet suddenly appeared on the beach of the North Sea, followed by shelling, but it seemed that nothing was shot, and the landing craft began to move towards the coastline continuously.

This is the Marine Brigade trained by Wesley himself. The troops of four brigades were sent to one brigade at a time to land. Their location was right behind the German army. This is Wesley's killer weapon. He wanted to drive the German army out of Belgium at one time and at the same time eliminate the enemy's vitality as much as possible.

The terrible castle is the most terrifying because there is a machine gun inside, which is a nightmare for infantry. The US military encountered a large number of terrible castles and discovered some of them through artillery fire reconnaissance, but there are still many that were not discovered. However, as soon as the terrible castle fired, it would see a terrible weapon flying over with white smoke.

The bazooka instantly became the favorite of soldiers. There were not many concrete offensives, mostly castles composed of civil and sandbags. They were completely unable to resist the attacks of the bazooka, especially the attacks of armor-piercing bombs.

How could Wesley not pay attention to the castle? This is the most troublesome problem. The main function of the bazooka is not to fight tanks, because he could only respond with "hehe". The US Department of the United States sent several tanks, which were developed by Ford.

The American 1918 tank, which should have appeared only in 1918, appeared in advance because Wesley and they cooperated to produce cars, and the power company produced new engines, both gasoline and diesel engines, so the power problem of the tank is not a problem.

However, Wesley was not too advanced, so Ford's tank did not change much. After seeing it, Wesley directly ordered, "Take it."

He wouldn't design the tank himself if he needed it? The conditions are not mature now. It doesn't mean that you have the skills. It requires a large number of industrial workers to learn skillfully. Wesley's factory workers are undoubtedly the best workers because they are exposed to new technologies first.
