Chapter 1137: Blatant Attack

Soon, there was news that the person in charge of observation carefully compared the military uniforms of the other party with a telescope, which was different from that of France and England, and even on the European continent there was no military uniform like him, although some were somewhat similar, reminiscent of the situation reported before, the opposite side may be Americans, and recently there was news that the Americans have come to Europe, and there are quite a few of them, although it is a little incredible, so quickly, and they were sent to the front line without adjustment, but this is always a possibility.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is very likely, but at the current front line, the information obtained is limited, and it is no longer enough to support him to investigate, and continue to report, and the news from the Ministry of Intelligence also came, it is indeed the Americans, they have come to the battlefield of a division, the specific number is not clear, but they are the best in the US army.

Adapted to the battlefield, but ran to the front line, able to serve as the commander of the German Meritorious Division, Andrean himself is extremely arrogant, the British army and the French army are not in his eyes, let alone the American army, since it is not adaptable, it is completely uncomfortable.

Ande's ambition is gradually rising, the position of the US army has been a hard bone across the outside of Bordeaux, the protective fortifications are complete, and the French army is also considered brave, so it is difficult to capture, but now, it has been replaced by the US army, looking at the situation of their entry, how much power can be exerted in this battle formation?

Although the Battle of Bordeaux, the General Staff was being intensively formulated, but pulling out the peripheral nodes was what he should do, and in the past few months, there had only been tentative offensive and defensive battles, and both sides had suffered casualties. But if this point is breached, for the Battle of Bordeaux. Definitely a good thing to take this one point at the core of the minimum 5 square kilometers of the defensive line. It was necessary to retreat.

Just do it, Andean is a resolute person, after deciding, he immediately began to prepare, and applied for a battalion of sharpshooters from the military department, which is a unit with specialized sharpshooters built by the group army, and there are also some army support firepower, and after strengthening, he has enough confidence.

Top echelons of the German Army. After knowing that there were American troops coming to this position, and they entered the prominent place on the front line, although this place was well protected, and Germany did not take it out several times before, but Britain and France were able to hold it, which did not mean that the American army could hold it, and after the outbreak of the European War, the shape of the entire war has changed greatly. The increase in automatic firearms and support firepower actually increased the density of fire projection on the front line, and two people against one regiment was unheard of before. But if this regiment has no artillery, and the two men have the advantage of geography and Maxim, and there are enough ammunition. A regiment is really difficult to take. If you are not familiar with the tactics of firearms now, you will charge blindly. Maybe you can bury the whole army in it.

It is not that the United States has not been exposed to European tactics and wants to come to fight in Europe. In order to enhance their combat effectiveness, the British will definitely tell them, but knowing and practicing are completely different things, and the inertia formed by soldiers is difficult to form a logic without enough examples, and it can only be formed in continuous experience and practice, and the German soldiers who have come over in the midst of war are very aware of this.

In only two days, the 19th Infantry Division had completed all preparations before the attack, and the three regiments occupied the most advanced positions in front of the map, and all the artillery pieces had been stripped of their armor and were ready to fire at any time.

On the other hand, the U.S. military didn't feel it at all, they only felt that the front line didn't seem to be as tragic as they imagined, I really don't know what the British and French troops were complaining about before, they didn't know that a powerful offensive was starting with him as the center.

After all the personnel were in place, Andean did not rush to attack, at this time it was already about 7 o'clock in the evening, with the current day, the sky had just darkened, and at this time the attack would easily make the other party take precautions, and even casualties would increase.

It was about 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was only after it was dark that the 19th Division mobilized all its members to brazenly attack the American troops. The Sixth Infantry Division is the elite in the US military, and in the military training and selection of the entire US army, it is basically his honor, but the Americans who have not gone through the European war situation at all, their army building ideas are still 5 years ago, or even 10 years ago, because of the reasons they have been exposed to it, the number of machine guns and artillery has increased, but the Sixth Infantry Division is such a meritorious unit, a division of Makqin is only 69, plus more than 30 light machine guns, but 100 automatic weapons, but also the US army is full of confidence, They didn't know that the 19th Infantry Division on the opposite side had 1,089 light and heavy firearms of various kinds, as well as a large number of artillery pieces and mortars.

The time of the attack was eight o'clock in the evening, at this time the night had fallen, the night of September in Europe, it seemed a little cool, the American troops who had been comfortable for a day, called friends and companions to prepare meals on the position, and the sporadic fires in the distance were the soldiers of the American army smoking.

The industrialized U.S. military, all aspects of equipment are good, tobacco and coffee, also into the military procurement, a division of more than 10,000 people in a lot of smoke guns, this is just the battle, they have enough supplies in their hands, just after dinner, it is a cigarette after the meal, the time to race the living immortals, immediately swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, they don't know, their action, let them become a live target.

More than 500 marksmen, evenly located in all directions, holding the sniper rifle in their hands, aimed at the front, constantly changing the red point of light, making the final preparations before the battle, constantly aiming at them, choosing the best shooting position, the distance between the two sides is about 500-700 meters, which is one of the best shooting ranges for marksmen.

Everything was ready, war could happen at any time, and at half past eight in the evening, when the sky was completely dark, three red flares suddenly rose into the sky, which was the total signal, and the war had finally begun.

The sudden flare illuminated this position, and it also surprised the US military in comfort, what is this for? But before they could figure it out, the first thing that came was the sniper's bullets, and they aimed at a large number of targets, and these objects who stuck their heads out to smoke became the first batch of victims, because the aiming time was quite long, the hit rate of the first method was obviously very high, at least more than 300 American soldiers fell, and they lost their lives directly.

The soldiers who were sitting opposite, good soldiers, were hit by sudden bullets, some were even violent heads, looking at the robe on the opposite side, being hit by a bullet, turning their heads into a broken kettle, and their brains bursting, such a scene gave the soldiers on the opposite side a great burden in their hearts, but they were destined to have nothing to bear, because the German artillery sounded, not the sporadic artillery on weekdays, but the artillery reinforced by the military artillery, hundreds of artillery, concentrated in a small area of the salvo, the power is quite amazing.

If it was just a sharpshooter with a cold gun, maybe it would not disturb the large troops, because this is a battlefield, and there will be several small-scale battles every day, but large-scale artillery bombardment, everyone knows, this is a large-scale attack, almost the entire Bordeaux headquarters, the joint command officers, immediately ordered a strict investigation, where the attack was, whether it was launched by the British and French troops, or the German army, and where was the main direction of the attack.

Looking at the British and French officers giving orders, the commander of the US army, Li Desen, did not pay much attention, he just joined the command center, and he did not know the situation on the battlefield at all, he had been at the command headquarters for several days, and he had not participated in a single thing.

The wired phone kept dialing out, and after asking for a long time, the British commander Kerry and the French commander Swift had a strange expression, and looked back at Li Desen, who looked at Li Desen with a slight hair, isn't it good news.

Swift's expression was slightly strange, as if in order to sort out something, he said: "General Leedesen, after we have verified, the German army is attacking your army's position!" ”

"What?" Suddenly got such a news, Li Desen's mind did not turn this corner, and he was stunned for a moment before his face changed greatly, and asked how many people and how many troops there were, and whether the German army had attacked.

When Li Desen heard that it was only a division's attack, he relaxed his mind a little, and the Sixth Infantry Division was the most powerful infantry division in the entire US army, and as long as it was not attacked by the superior forces of the German army, it should be able to withstand it.

They don't know, Kerry and Swift's faces, there is not much relaxed expression, the 19th Division, but the famous meritorious troops, extremely strong combat effectiveness, when the US troops were settled to where to go, the opposite side was only the 178th Division, who knows, the 19th Division will change guards, I already knew this, I chose to settle this US army elsewhere, this is equivalent to sending a dish to the hands of this German meritorious unit, which will increase his merits under the original glory.

As commanders, the two of them will not underestimate the strength and combat effectiveness of the US military, but they have just arrived on the European continent, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil, and it is easy to have problems, and they are not afraid of 10,000. This point of breakthrough is a very important part of the defensive line, and if this point is removed, it will have an impact on the entire defensive front.

The garrison of a division is quite vast, and there are no mobile troops around, at least there is not half a day, and no one can be sent up, and it is night at this moment, if he can hold out until dawn, reinforcements will arrive, but in this night, he can only rely on him, and I hope that this sixth infantry division of the US army lives up to its name and has the combat effectiveness of the best of the US army.
