When the infantry detachment moved to the starting position, with three red flares rising into the sky, the long-awaited Vespa assault gun rushed out of the concealment point, and at this time the artillery suppression of the attacking troops also reached its peak! Barrages from 105mm howitzers and 120mm heavy mortars rolled back and forth over the opposing defensive positions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"This is actually a double barrage?" Moltke Jr. was surprised to find that when the barrage from the howitzer swept the first line of positions and began to extend to the rear, the second barrage from the heavy mortar took over the work of the former, continuing to suppress the opponent's front-line troops, this special artillery support method was the first time Moltke Jr. had seen it.

"When the first barrage extends in depth, the opponent will often send troops in shelter to enrich the first line of defense, and at this time, the second barrage can effectively kill and injure this part of the enemy. Our blow to the breakthrough is three-dimensional. Squeeze several of the opponent's defense lines at the same time with ferocious artillery fire! Major General Schmidt explained.

With the rumbling of engines and the sound of crawlers crashing against the ground, low-stating steel behemoths burst out of the smoke, and they quickly harvested the exposed fire points on the opposite side with machine guns and artillery, the machine guns and grenades of the opposing side were of no use to these stubborn creatures.

The infantry, which had achieved the movement to the starting position, also began to attack, under the cover of machine guns and 60 mortars, the sappers moved forward with obstacle breaking tools, and the first thing they had to solve was the minefield in front of the trench, which was one of the few things that could stop the advance of the tank, and the blasting canisters were connected and extended forward, accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, and the originally intact minefield was blown out of the passages.

Under the cover of tanks, infantry squads began to advance alternately, with machine guns as the core of the fire group suppressing the opponent's exposed fire points, and at the same time vigilant against the flank and reverse positions, the assault team composed of armored units formed the short side of the trapezoidal front, and together with the infantry like a chisel, they split like a chisel like the opponent's defensive line!

Before the advent of tanks, there may not have been a specialized anti-tank gun, but this did not prevent the defenders from leveling the infantry or field guns for fire. The fundamental reason why the prince increased the weight of the original Breakthrough vehicle all the way was to defend against the opponent's high-explosive shells or those shells that were not very powerful. In this exercise, although the defenders did not flatten the 3-inch rapid-fire guns, they still had some small-caliber infantry guns.

"Priority attack on flat-fire artillery!" Several fire support groups armed with 12.7mm machine guns appeared 500 meters from the front of the position, and these large-caliber machine guns were extremely lethal to small guns with gun shields. Ordinary 5 to 7mm steel plates could not stop the attack of large-caliber machine gun armor-piercing shells, and Moltke himself used a telescope to see a simulated 57mm infantry gun being smashed to pieces by a series of armor-piercing shells.

"I'm afraid this kind of large-caliber machine gun is not convenient to carry, right?" Moltke asked the man next to him.

"They are actually not much heavier than our first generation of heavy machine guns, because of the use of air cooling, so there are no heavy buckets, and after using a new tripod and a series of weight reduction measures, the body and carriage of this machine gun can be carried by three people, plus a certain amount of ammunition, seven people can do it. It's a bit of a stretch, though. An officer explained.

Although this is the No. 3 assault gun imitated by the technology of World War 1, it can be done with a high-explosive shell fired by a small-caliber infantry gun that is still not fired by a small-caliber infantry gun after the track shoes are attached! The grenades fired by the defenders did not do much except knock out the track shoes hanging on the frontal armor, and the low profile could not protect them from surviving under such dense fire from large-caliber machine guns, mortars and flat-fire guns, and with the removal of gun emplacements one by one, the passage to the first line of defense was finally opened!

Large groups of infantrymen armed with submachine guns and grenades jumped into the trenches under the cover of their vehicles, quickly clearing the resistance from the trenches using weapons called "bullet sprayers". The enemy would not give up because one line of defense had been breached, and reinforcements from the second line began to move towards the breach, trying to block the breach.

At this time, the group, armed with semi-automatic rifles and machine guns, quickly seized positions, established defensive positions on both sides of the breakthrough point, and with the help of cricket assault tanks, began to tear the opponent's line laterally, they wanted to make the gap in this line a little bigger! Although the thin crickets did not have the heavy armor and artillery of the Vespa tank, their agility and high mobility made up for these shortcomings, and when the opponent did not have heavy flat firepower, their performance was even more eye-catching than that of the Vespa!

"To be honest, these little guys with only machine guns are a bit unexpected to me, they are agile, fast, like a sharp scalpel cutting through the opponent's defenses, although there may be some minor problems due to some solid support points, but I have to say, we need this new age of cavalry to carry out this mission."

The entire attacking force continued to advance, a small number of crickets and grenadiers continued to expand their positions, while the main armored group continued to attack in the direction of depth, they wanted to completely break through the opponent's defense! The distance between the two lines of defense of the opponent is 800 meters to 1000 meters, if it is under normal circumstances, this line of defense can completely exhaust the soldiers of the attacking side, after all, it is very difficult to fight in the battlefield with more than ten kilograms of equipment, and they have just broken through the first line of defense, but because of the help of the half-track transport vehicle, the soldiers responsible for attacking the second line of defense directly crossed the battlefield by car and entered the battle!

The speed of the attacker was obviously beyond the expectations of the defender, and the attacker continued to attack the opponent in depth without any pause, and the distance of more than 800 meters was simply too close for the Bavarian legion, which was advancing on wheels instead of feet! In just a few minutes, the muzzle of the Vespa assault gun was already on the opponent's head! At a distance of about 300 meters, the 75mm guns fired steadily and accurately, while the second line of defense did not have enough space to deploy minefields and various obstacles.

"They attacked too slowly, without any pause, and cut through two well-laid lines of defense as easily as a hot knife to butter." Moltke Jr. described it in his report. And after breaking through two lines of defense in a row, the defender's forces have been exhausted, the command center, logistics units and artillery positions in the rear have been completely exposed, and the cavalry, which has not had the opportunity to perform, can finally rush through the defense line with a roar. At this point, the entire exercise ended with the victory of the attacker.
