Although it was only a tentative attack, the Germans still did it meticulously.
By the time the soldiers of the First Division rushed into the bunker from the artillery holes along the underground passage, the German troops had already broken through the first barbed wire fence.
The German tanks are still in the research institute, and Liu Zizheng simply didn't bother digging anti-tank trenches. Although anti-tank trenches also have a certain defensive effect on the infantry, they will also provide a large natural bunker for the infantry.
Before the infantry entered the bunker, the tanks assigned to Liu Zizheng's troops had already moved onto the position. These tanks were equipped with 12.7 mm caliber heavy machine guns, which could be used not only to defend against air and tank vehicles, but also against infantry.
The first thing to fire were these large-caliber machine guns.
The bullet is nearly 13 mm thick, thicker than an adult's thumb. This caliber is the same as the cannon in another space-time game.
Although the large-caliber machine gun in reality is not as abnormal as the cannon in the game that kills you if it hits the hair, but it will definitely lose its combat effectiveness if it is hit by one shot. If the arm is hit, the arm will be broken; if the thigh is hit
If hit, the thigh will also be broken; if the torso is hit, the body will be broken into two pieces
What is a murder weapon?
This is called a killer
There are 10 of these big killers on the battlefield. They are all moveable and can evade their own defenses. They are super powerful weapons compared to infantry.
So when the large-caliber machine gun opened fire, the Germans who were desperately destroying the second barbed wire fence were in tragedy.
Describing the bullet chain composed of warheads, it can be a fire sickle, a fire dragon, or a metal storm, but it is not suitable to describe the bullet chain of a large-caliber machine gun. Strictly speaking, there is no bullet chain for a large-caliber machine gun, because the firing speed is not small.
The caliber machine gun is so fast, so when the large-caliber machine gun fires, it is incoherent, intermittent, and even feels out of breath.
Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong
Under such an irregular rhythm, warheads the size of grapes flew towards the front of the position, destroying everything they touched. Human bodies, guns, helmets, rocks, and even wooden stakes supporting barbed wire were all shattered and turned into pieces in front of the large-caliber machine gun.
There are all kinds of little bits and pieces flying all over the sky that cannot be discerned from their original shape.
Although the Germans have issued m1917 body armor, the armor is like paper in front of the warheads of large-caliber machine guns and has no defensive effect.
Some soldiers are smarter and know to add a steel plate to key parts to enhance defense capabilities. This method may be useful when facing small-caliber firearms, but it is meaningless in the face of large-caliber machine guns. Those body armors with
Soldiers equipped with steel plates were shot away one after another. After the bullet hit the steel plate, even if the kinetic energy failed to penetrate, it would push the person directly away from the place. The steel plate would still hit the human body heavily with huge kinetic energy until
break the ribs, break the sternum
Most of the people were killed on the spot, and a small number of people could not die for a while. They could only helplessly wail and roll, gradually becoming lifeless.
To be honest, it would be better to die
Although the large-caliber machine guns are powerful, they are small in number after all. When facing hundreds or thousands of German soldiers, they are still unable to cope. But after the defenders entered the bunker, the situation completely changed.
In order to facilitate shooting, those heavy machine guns were not moved out of the bunker at all. The shooters only needed to enter the trenches and start shooting immediately.
Boom, boom, boom, this is the sound of the mg08 heavy machine gun.
This is the sound of the Lewis machine gun. This sound was once called the Belgian rattlesnake by the Germans because it was so weird. Now, the Lewis machine gun of the first division is really like a rattlesnake, unscrupulously starting to harvest the Germans.
life.
Compared with the intermittent bullet belts of large-caliber machine guns, the Maxim mg08 and Lewis can be called fire sickles, or even fire dragons. The metal storm composed of warheads is like a sickle cutting through the middle, crazy and violent, endless.
The Germans' fighting will was still very strong. They roared crazily and made desperate howls like wild beasts before they died. They launched attacks without fear of death. As long as they still had breath, they would continue to move forward even if they crawled.
Even if you throw your body against the barbed wire fence as a stepping stone to move forward, you still have to contribute your last effort.
Almost ten months ago, when the British and the French launched the Battle of the Somme, they were hit head-on by German heavy machine guns. Now, the offensive and defensive sides are out of position, the heavy machine guns are still roaring, and lives are still hanging in the face of the rain of steel bullets.
So vulnerable.
Like the British nine months ago, the Germans were trapped in a trap of blood and fire, unable to extricate themselves. They were like moths rushing to the flames, knowing that they were facing a death trap but still rushing forward one after another.
The first row of German troops were all turned into pieces of meat in front of the large-caliber machine guns. The second row of German troops continued to destroy the second barbed wire fence under the rain of bullets, then the third row of German troops, and the third row of barbed wire fence.
When they reached the fourth barbed wire fence, the last German soldier was knocked down.
completely annihilated.
The tragedy of ten months ago happened again.
But the soldiers of the third regiment had no time to sigh, because the whistle had already sounded, and at the same time someone was shouting: artillery attack, artillery attack, all withdraw from their positions
Another reincarnation.
Qin Zhiyuan and Bastian in the joint command headquarters could not see the tension, at least not on the surface.
Report, the first attack is over, our army killed nearly a thousand Germans, the third regiment was killed 39, wounded 112, three bunkers were destroyed by German artillery fire, No. 304 tank engine failure, has been towed to the second front for repair. 215
The regiment had 157 killed and 401 wounded. Colonel Christopher had already sent a reserve team. In addition, only two intact barbed wire fences were left in front of the 3rd Regiment's position, and only the last one was left in front of the 215th Regiment's position. Colonel Liu Zizheng and Colonel Christopher requested at the same time
Add barbed wire. Pierre is serious.
Send it, ask Geng Xinmin to prepare the barbed wire and send it up immediately. Give Qin Zhiyuan whatever he wants.
Geng Xinmin is the quartermaster of the First Division. He is a fellow villager of Qin Zhiyuan. Their villages are not far apart, and he came to France in the same group as Qin Zhiyuan.
Yes. Pierre stood at attention, saluted, turned and left.
Qin, your troops are better at fighting. Bastian is convinced.
As early as when he was in Kapi, Bastian knew that Qin Zhiyuan's men could fight, but Bastian was never convinced. Bastian was born in a regular military academy, and he received a systematic education.
In fact, I look down upon a monk like Qin Zhiyuan who became a monk halfway.
Bastian has always believed that Qin Zhiyuan's men can fight only because of their excellent personal qualities and strong individual combat capabilities. Such a combination may be very effective in small-scale operations. Once it reaches a large army,
During combat, such a combination may not be able to outperform the regular army. After all, large-scale battles test the overall combat capabilities and the cooperation between troops and even multiple arms.
But after this battle, Bastian was completely convinced. In Pierre's report, although there was no clear statistics on how many German troops were killed by the third regiment and how many German troops were killed by the 215th regiment, the distance of the German advance and the actual number of German troops killed were not clearly stated.
Looking at the number of casualties on the other side, it can be seen that there is still a clear gap between the 215th Regiment and the Third Regiment.
What is certain is that Qin Zhiyuan's first division will convince many people this time.
