Chapter 2079: Smashing

A German artillery officer put his eyes on the artillery mirror and carefully observed the British position less than 800 meters away. Next to him, there were 10 flat-fire guns of various calibers lined up. Not far away is the British army position, but most people are very relaxed. For many veterans who have been fighting for more than half a year, this battle is the most comfortable battle they have experienced.

　　 "The British have never wanted to be so weak today!" This German artillery officer observed the British positions on the opposite side and marked the bunkers and firepower points on the map. When the British were desperate to launch a counterattack, the Germans on the front also launched an offensive. As usual, the two sides suppressed each other in a round of artillery. Although the previous British troops were weaker than the Germans in artillery, at least both sides were able to fight. to. But today is different. Less than half an hour after the German heavy artillery force was fully fired, it completely suppressed the two British armies on the opposite side! This is something that has never happened before.

　　 So, after a few trials, the Germans discovered that the British army on the opposite side was not tempting the enemy, but was really not working. As a result, some bold German front-line commanders ordered the artillery units responsible for the horizontal firing to move forward directly, put the artillery on the British foreheads slowly, and then methodically cleared the opposing British firepower points.

After a series of fierce battles, the British Fourth and Fifth Army Groups in the south were really hollowed out. Let alone the war, they were the first to face the German raids. Just a few days of fighting made the South The two British armies lost more than half of their long-range support artillery! Many of the artillery pieces were still new ones, and they were directly solved by the British after a total of less than 100 shells were fired. Then, in order to counterattack last night, the two armies separated some artillery pieces from the front line, and the final result was, Now only less than 20% of the artillery that can deal with frontal German assaults are left! It's a ghost if you can beat the opponent!

　　 "Fire!" The flat-fire artillery unit that pushed to the forehead of the British roared. These shells fired at close range were more deadly than howitzers in the distance! Precise strikes and super high rate of fire make these artillery have unparalleled lethality at close range. The British bunkers may have a thick layer of rammed earth, concrete and wood to build a line of defense. However, the German 105MM cannon can also be fired in front of it. But so!

　　 Two 105MM cannons stared at a huge firepower point. The Germans were well at the dead end of each other’s firepower. The two artillery guns alternately tilted armor-piercing shells toward the target at a rate of more than 6 rounds per minute! The sharp shells screamed and slammed into the bunker, collapsing a large part of the outer rammed earth layer. The Germans were very patient, shooting like water dripping through the rock, and flames exploded on the bunker. At first, the yellow clods flew around, and then the concrete blocks. The continuous shooting broke the hard shell little by little. Finally, when the rising smoke column was mixed with a lot of wood, it meant that the bunker had been hit. The core part, because there will be some huge wood inside the bunker to support the ceiling!

After taking advantage of the air and long-range firepower, the German front-line artillery unscrupulously beat the British defenses on every battlefield. At first, some British troops tried to counterattack with rapid-fire guns or mortars, but the British fired every time. Every shell will be suppressed by several times the firepower. The Germans even moved the mine thrower that could only hit a few hundred meters but could throw hundreds of kilograms of shells into the opposite trench. It used to be **** and slow. The offensive turned into a one-sided slaughter. German artillery and machine gun fire easily cut the opponent's position, and then crushed them!

To be honest, the German army confronting the British army is actually not very elite. The most elite troops of the German army on the western front are integrated into the first two army groups. The German army, which is opposite to the British army, has a lot of heavy artillery. , But lacked tanks and assault guns. As a result, the German army could only use the relatively primitive storm commando and artillery to advance slowly. However, what made the German army unexpected was that the British army on the opposite side was even weaker. Even with these retro-style tactics, the two British armies in the south could not be blocked at this time.

The Germans launched an offensive in accordance with their own steps. The long-range artillery madly tilted towards the British artillery positions, logistics facilities and roads behind the position. The barrage of the dense artillery shells formed an impenetrable wall of fire. Moving irregularly between the various positions of the British army, easily tore up any British who tried to cross here.

While completing the long-range fire blockade, the frontal offensive forces also launched an offensive with the support of direct fire and mortars. The Wicks machine guns and 25-pound rapid-fire guns that made the German offensive forces fearful before. The preparations for firepower have been suppressed or destroyed, except for those who slip through the net or the ubiquitous snipers ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The deployment of the German army has not been greatly hindered. Almost like an armed parade, the Germans broke through the front positions and thought about developing in depth.

　　 After entering the main position, the British resistance became fierce. The rapid-fire cannon and a large number of machine guns hidden in the reverse **** position once blocked the German attack. The powerful but cumbersome Wicks family was abandoned. The lightweight Lewis machine guns and mortars became the biggest trouble for the German army. The British seldom burn out two cartridges in one place. These experienced machine gun teams usually keep on Shifting positions. They used the cobweb-like trench system to play hide and seek with the Germans. The British mortars at the reverse **** position used ballistic advantages to block the advance of the Germans.

　　 The bullets like migratory locusts were flying around the ground, and the unique sound of aerial mortars was endless. With every cannonball falling, along with the blooming flower of death, thousands of fragments like death's sickle harvest all the lives they can touch. The German offensive team was suppressed between trenches, craters and bushes. The British seemed to stabilize the situation temporarily.

　　 Several huge figures slowly emerged from the gunpowder smoke. These steel behemoths seem to be similar to the German wolf tanks, but they are bigger. However, unlike the huge turret on the Wolf tank body, the new guy’s turret is very small, and it’s ridiculous to have a slender tube. By the way, there is a small cart behind these tanks, with a round canister on it.
