Chapter 580

As noon approached, the German heavy assault troops also entered the battle. Since their main task was to divide and sweep the French defenders entrenched in the trenches, the troops did not fight in dispersed like those light assault troops before, but integrated groups like ordinary troops, with at least a hundred people in a combat unit. At the same time, the sky was also buzzing, and hundreds of fighter jets sprayed with iron cross marks flew from the eastern sky; compared with slow and huge airships, these wooden skinned little guys were obviously more suitable for precise battlefield support.

The artillery fire roared, and the smoke covered the sky. Countless red and bright flames burst violently on the battlefield, causing bloody storms of death. Among them were the French artillery fire that exploded among the German offensive troops, but more were the German uniform bombardment. With the dispatch of heavy commandos, the German artillery that had previously deployed to the front of the position overnight also extended hideous guns from their respective cover grasses. In the midst of the thunder, the artillery shells with devastating power were projected to the target area. In an instant, the artillery barrage on the French position changed from one to two rows; one of them continued to destroy the exposed ground fortifications on the French trenches, while the other explosion fire wall steadily extended to the depth, blocking all the rescue forces rushing from the rear of the French army halfway!

In order to ensure that this offensive can achieve the expected breakthrough, the German General Staff raised a large number of artillery shells from various troops; although the shelling time was not long, its firepower density was shocking. After the support of the double-layer barrage, the German artillery's ammunition consumption reached a terrifying 30,000 rounds per hour. On average, 500 rounds fell on the heads of the opponent's heads per minute. The heavy commando with this strong support did not disappoint the strong support of the artillery. They followed the back of their barrage and assaulted in the weak area they had opened. Although they were carrying many heavy weapons, they were not as sensitive as light troops in mobile breakthroughs, causing the team members to pay a certain degree of damage in this process, but these equipment quickly showed their role.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion sounded through the clouds. The red light like a glow suddenly rushed around more than ten meters away. Sand and stones burst out, and the earth walls collapsed. A trench defense line that had been kept on gunfire just now was silent. An 8-man team of the German army had set up their 120mm heavy mortar and declared their strong joining in this battle with a pre-emptive attack. Compared with the 60mm mortar in the light commando, this weapon with a caliber root that was twice as large as the root of the weapon. Compared with the 60mm mortar in the light commando, the root of this weapon with a caliber is twice as large as the root of the weapon. Compared with the 60mm mortar in the light commando, the root of the weapon with a caliber is twice as large as the root of the weapon.

Originally and the former are not on the same order of magnitude: it can launch grenades weighing 14kg to 3,800 meters away. It already has the ability to fight enemies in a long range similar to regular light artillery, and its single shot is no less powerful than the 150mm heavy howitzer! Under the blast of its high-dumping shells, the French military fortifications that had previously left the light commando helpless exploded and collapsed; colorful shrapnel and flesh dripping, flying into the sky in a violent and rushing wave of air, and the situation was as tragic as hell.

The German commando was very determined to fight and continued to rush forward after breaking into the trench. Air fighters roared and patroled all the way, bombers found the right time to drop aviation bombs that were ten times more powerful than artillery, and fighters circled and dived at a low altitude near the ground, giving direct suppression and cover with the heavy machine gun at the nose. The commando equipped with a large number of submachine guns and grenades roared and ran in the trench like an angry tide, and they always met on a narrow road.

The battle took a lot of advantage and took the lead. The light and heavy machine guns gathered a series of densely intertwined rapid-fire firepower. They suppressed the French soldiers who shot at it so hard that they could not raise their heads. After a few counterattacks, the French officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties in front of this group of elite soldiers with firepower that were not proportional to the number of people; although the opponent also suffered a considerable degree of loss in the continuous battle, the sharp sword could not be stopped at all!

In the commando team, there was also a soldier who always had a yellowish telephone line along the way; he only had a self-defense pistol on his waist, but the package on his back was loaded with dozens of kilograms of lines. When he encountered a large number of enemy troops or solid fortresses that could not even be dealt with by 120mm mortars, the commander of the heavy commando would contact the artillery behind by phone, inform them of the enemy coordinates and call for support. Before the attack was launched, the German General Staff had equipped each heavy commando with corresponding artillery support units, and when he received a request from the front line, the corresponding artillery battalion company would adjust the muzzle and pour artillery fire to the new target. Although this would break the original barrage Xu Jin's schedule, compared with the cover artillery that was unaware of the front line, this extremely targeted firepower was obviously a more suppressive blow.

The roar exploded and the flames soared into the sky. The German and French armies began to engage in a fierce desperate battle in the trench positions. The German army advanced forward with the advantage of the artillery fire of Xu Jin. The French army also recovered from the initial shock and began to rely on the fortifications to arrange their strength to carry out a tenacious defensive counterattack. In this stage of the battle, the German artillery deployed at the front of the position played a crucial role; they raised their guns under the cover of plants and trees, and roared through the sky in the surging explosion. As far as the barrage was concerned, the French personnel were almost wiped out by the violent explosion rage, and the German commando was able to win many battles and advance at a considerable speed.

What made the French soldiers even more desperate was that even the concrete bunkers that had been regarded as the mainstay could not stop the advance of these enemy troops. There were soldiers carrying flamethrowers in the German commando, which were specially used to deal with these stubborn enemies huddled in the solid bunker. With the opening of the valve, the thickened gasoline stored in the oil tanks flew out along the nozzle under the strong pressure of compressed air; and the electric spark lighter on the nozzle was also activated, and the high-speed gasoline jet was immediately ignited. From a distance, it seemed that there was

A bright golden fire dragon over 20 meters long rushes in the wilderness, roaring wildly, and pounces on the French fortification bunker in a thousand degrees of blazing. As the flames surging, it directly submerges the observation port and shooting hole of the bunker like an angry tide. After a few dozen seconds, the oxygen in the bunker was consumed in the violent combustion of gasoline, and all the French officers and soldiers who were defending it were suffocated to death. Some bunkers heated up quickly due to the strong burning from the outside world and lured the ammunition stored in it, and the bunker was abandoned.

"Quickly connect, quickly connect... Baby, please...hell hell!"

In a battlefield command post deep in the trench, Adolf Messimi, who was furious, suddenly threw the phone in his hand to the ground. With a loud bang, the firing pins, springs and other things inside the phone were spilled all over the ground. He was still angry and trampled hard with military boots, destroying the scattered parts into shape. Several adjutants next to him saw the commander's thunderous anger, stayed in place without saying a word. After a while, a tall young man suddenly jumped down from the upper trench and shouted: "His Excellency Messimi, I just brought people to investigate. The telephone lines that contacted the battalions in front and the rear commands have been cut off by the German team; now they have been deeply embedded in areas 1463 and 1667, and we may not be able to repair them now!"

"Damn it, I knew it would be like this!" Messimi roared and punched the soft soil wall next to her, her eyes showing unconcealed anxiety and panic. As a scapegoat who was demoted to the front line after the failure of the border battle, former Army Minister Messimi, with a bit of commanding qualifiers, completed the upgrade from major to lieutenant colonel in half a year, and led a regiment of officers and soldiers to defend the trench positions. However, this time, the German offensive was far beyond his imagination as he was when he was the Minister of the Army. The artillery company he deployed in the rear was attacked, and three of the six cannons were scrapped; and now, the telephone lines leading to the battalions on the front line were inexplicably cut off, and he had no idea what they were in! In any case, it was an absolute taboo in the army, but now he had no way to deal with it!

"Where are our reinforcements, why didn't that guy Philip send reinforcements to support the front line? When the war here is over, I must sue President Poongalai heavily!" After a moment of stagnation, Messimi shouted loudly. Although he didn't know the situation on the front line, the explosion of shells as dense as a meteor fire rain can be enough to explain everything: the abnormal fierce shelling of the Germans cannot be full of fire fighting. While they are carrying out such intensive artillery support, it is certain that they launch a fierce attack!

"His Excellency Messimi, the German artillery barrage has extended behind us. General Betton's reinforcements are likely to be blocked by these firepower and cannot come to the front line to reinforce in the first time." Amid the roar of thunderous cannons, the young officer replied clearly, but found that the other party's face was full of calmness and frankness. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Charles, hurry back to the rear immediately and tell Betton about the situation here; all the rest of the personnel will go to the front line immediately. Even if they die, they cannot let the Germans break through our defense!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
