Thanks to Brother Xian for the reward. It is the support of friends that gives Yutou the motivation to go so far. Thank you.
Just as Chen Kangjian and the others were gradually advancing, Greif and the others also began to prepare for harvesting.
At the beginning of the battle, the German second line of defense did not move at all. As violent explosions and fierce gunfire rang out, shadowy figures appeared on the second line of defense.
Initially, three or five engineer soldiers came out to check the lines. How could this be done? The Germans buried the telephone lines underground and it was impossible to throw them away bit by bit. Then there were messengers who walked to the first line.
A line of defense, it seems to be to determine the situation.
This is the meaning of their existence. There were three groups of messengers, a total of 7 people, and they were all knocked down by Greif and their cold guns.
Fortunately, the muzzle of the gun was covered with cloth and the muzzle flash was not obvious, otherwise Greif and the others would have been discovered.
After the third batch of messengers were defeated, the Germans on the second line of defense began to gather. They were going to directly reinforce them. The sound of gunfire and explosions on the first line of defense had begun to become dull, which showed that the battle had moved towards the tunnel.
The internal movement begins. Without reinforcements, the Germans on the first line of defense will be completely wiped out.
The reinforcements of the German troops were about one battalion. Although they were temporary reinforcements, the Germans were neatly dressed and equipped with firearms, showing good personal qualities.
The Germans did not advance in a search state because of the successive deaths of messengers, but used rapid marches to directly reinforce the first line of defense.
The Germans quickly lined up along the traffic trench, which was located just in front of Greif and his lurking position. Xu Sheng and Cheng Feiming installed a large number of mines and explosive devices in the traffic trench, waiting for the Germans to move in.
The individual quality of the Germans was quite good. They advanced very quickly and soon reached the middle of the communication trench, which was already a minefield.
Boom boom boom boom
Violent explosions shook the surrounding areas. The first mine blew away three Germans. More grenades triggered their triggering devices, and a series of explosions continued.
This is actually a series of thunder.
Although the German soldiers are fearless, they are not willing to die. Now there are no engineers to clear the mines. The German soldiers are frightened by the continuous explosions and dare not move forward. No matter how the officers urge them, the soldiers dare not use their bodies to clear the mines.
Half of the communication trench in front has collapsed. More than 30 soldiers were killed in the explosion just now, and only four or five were injured. From the casualty ratio, you can see how dense the minefield is. Entering the minefield is almost a narrow escape.
.
The officers had no choice but to drive the soldiers out of the communication trenches and march forward in formation on the ground.
This is just convenient for Greif and the others.
Greif and the others carry a large number of Lewis machine guns. These machine guns all use 47-round drum magazines, which can provide a steady stream of lethality.
While Cheng Feiming and Xu Sheng were laying landmines, Greif set up a simple position, which was stuck between the first and second lines of German defense. There were eight Lewis machine guns on the left and right sides of the position.
Greif prepared to use the crossfire invented by the Germans to retaliate against the Germans.
The Germans were not prepared for this, and their thinking had become rigid. In the German concept, the French would never use detour tactics.
It’s no wonder that the Germans took part in the Battle of the Somme, which was only about 30 kilometers long. If the two armies participating in the battle only had one regiment, there would be enough space to make a detour. But now the troops on both sides participating in the battle have exceeded 2 million.
On average, there are more than 70,000 people fighting each other per kilometer long. With this density, there is no room for detours.
From the Germans' perspective, if they wanted to make a detour, unless the French could dig tunnels to get around to the rear of the Germans, a small-scale detour would only serve as a source of harassment and would have no decisive value.
The Germans would never have imagined that Hu Tingfeng, the leader of the Sixth Regiment, had a family tradition of drilling holes.
The sound of explosions and shooting at the first line of defense became weaker and weaker, indicating that the battle had gone deep into the tunnels. The German commander was anxious and ordered the troops to advance rapidly from the ground.
Brothers on the front lines need help
Soon, the Germans entered the firing range of the Greif ambush position.
Tatgrave was not good at words, but he issued combat orders with violent shooting.
Ta-ta-ta-ta
At least 20 Lewis machine guns roared crazily at the same time, and the tongues of flame they spewed formed a row of fire fans in front of the position. They flickered like tongues in the mouth of a poisonous snake, harvesting the lives of Germans wantonly.
At this moment, life is always fragile.
Greif was in the center of the position, with a column of at least six Germans in his crosshairs. When the gunfire rang out, Greif only felt the butt of the gun against his shoulder vibrate slightly, and fatal bullets were already pouring out of the barrel.
And out.
Although it was still night, the visibility was pretty good under the reflection of the snow.
Grif could clearly see the blood mist exploding on the Germans' chests. The straight military uniforms were torn into strips by bullets. Minced meat and bone stubble exploded with the blood mist. Helmets, water bottles, bullets and even hand grenades, as long as the bullet chain was swept away
After that, everything was beaten and scattered in all directions, just like German soldiers.
When Greif opened fire, many German soldiers only had the thought of an enemy attack in their minds. Before they could shout out, they were beaten to ashes by the metal storm that followed. Many people fell down and took advantage of the force of their companions.
The corpses served as bunkers in preparation for a counterattack, while more people fled in all directions, trying to jump into traffic trenches to escape the hail of bullets.
Boom boom boom
Explosions continued to be heard from the traffic trench. This place was no longer a shelter, but a Death Valley.
The German commander was also lying on the ground. After carefully observing Griff's position, he called for the messenger and wanted to organize the troops to counterattack. Unexpectedly, just as the messenger crawled over, two bullets flew over. The commander and the messenger
Both soldiers died in battle.
The most indispensable thing in the Sixth Regiment is precision shooters. Warriors whose hands, eyes and bodies have been coordinated through long-term training. It is really simple to practice marksmanship. Aiming methods such as three-point and one-line can be broken with almost one click.
And it can also draw inferences from one instance.
Without their commander, the Germans were in the difficult situation of fighting on their own.
The German machine guns are mg08 and mg0815. Both of these machine guns are very heavy and inconvenient to carry. Therefore, when this unit sent reinforcements to the front, they did not carry machine guns. In this way, the Germans, who mainly relied on rifles, wanted to
When compared with Greif and others who mainly use Lewis machine guns, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of density and intensity.
Under normal circumstances, when setting up a position, the first thing to consider is the bunker.
Although Greif and his bunkers are simple bunkers, they can still provide basic defense.
The Germans didn't. Most of them used the corpses of their classmates as bunkers. You know, corpses can be shattered by bullets.
In less than ten minutes of shooting, the Germans suffered heavy casualties and were unable to survive, retreating like a tide.
Brother, let’s go to the front to help. Xu Sheng was very excited, holding Lewis with a reddish barrel and asking Greif to fight.
No, let's go to the second line. Greif has an idea.
Third, Xu Sheng couldn't keep up with Greif's train of thought in the second step.
Griffith didn't answer and patted his clothes.
German costume.
