Chapter 836: The Broken Storm Commando
When it comes to fighting, the Germans are definitely much stronger than the Austrians, who also belong to the Germanic nation, they have long known that in the face of a defensive line with machine guns and mortars, there is no future for relying solely on infantry charges and blind fire suppression, and the Germans have long learned the Storm Commando plus fire blocking method that was only explored in the late 1st World War in history, and it is very useful in the face of the Russian army attacking East Prussia, and this time, the Germans want to repeat their glory in Silesia!
ALTHOUGH NOT MUCH HEAVY ARTILLERY WAS PREPARED DUE TO THE RAPID PROGRESS, THE GERMANS STILL CONCENTRATED 75MM HOWITZERS TO SUPPORT THE ATTACKING TROOPS, AND THEN A LARGE NUMBER OF ELITE INFANTRY WITH TRENCH MORTARS, MINE-THROWERS AND SUBMACHINE GUNS RUSHED OUT OF THE FORWARD POSITIONS, THE VARIOUS BATTLE GROUPS COVERED EACH OTHER'S ADVANCES, AND PROFESSIONAL SAPPERS CLEARED MINEFIELDS AND BARBED WIRE. THE GERMANS MOVED VERY QUICKLY, DID NOT DRAG THE MUD AND WATER, THEY USED TRICKY FIRE TO SUPPRESS THE COUNTERATTACK OF THE OPPONENT, GRADUALLY APPROACHING THE TRENCH, THROWING MORTAR SHELLS AND GRENADES INTO THE TRENCH, AND BECAUSE OF THE ATTACK OF THE 75MM LIGHT HOWITZER...... 82MM MORTARS IN THE REAR OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY WERE FORCED TO QUIET.
Just when everything was going well for the German army, the sound of artillery coming from the rear of the Russian position made the Germans feel a little uneasy, but fortunately, the opponent's attack was not fierce, but specifically used to suppress the German artillery, and several 75MM howitzers were destroyed because they were too far ahead. But it doesn't matter, under the guidance of the storm commandos, a large number of German troops have followed, and they will form a "bobo" continuous attack to finally defeat the opponent, the Germans believe that they have an absolute advantage in terms of tactical level and equipment, although the Russians are more powerful with automatic rifles. But the density of fire is a bit low, and after entering the trenches, it is the world of submachine guns, and according to the intelligence of the Germans, it seems that the Russians are not equipped with many submachine guns..........
Suddenly, a slightly muffled voice sounded from both flanks of the Russian position. The sound is somewhat similar to that of a machine gun. But citrus is crisper. And it is somewhat heavy compared to heavy machine guns. It seemed to be a weapon between a gun and a cannon, and tongues of fire erupted from the very well camouflaged bunker, not as dense as the machine guns, but much more powerful, and a German soldier caught off guard was hit by a red fireball. The powerful ammunition directly broke the unlucky soldier in two, and even the German soldier looked at the lower half of his body that had been out of his control in disbelief while being cut in half!
In an instant, a storm of flesh and blood swept across the battlefield, and the German soldiers who had no time to dodge were hit by this powerful automatic weapon, and when the Germans tried to counterattack, they found out. The firing point is far beyond the range of the weapon in his hand, whether it is a trench mortar or a grenadier canister, it can only hit a few hundred meters, while the opponent's firing point is at least about 800 meters away from him.
And what shocked the Germans was at such a distance. This weapon still maintains high accuracy and great power, at this distance, the German MG08 machine gun can only suppress the target at most, while the opponent can accurately kill the German fire point hidden behind the mound or bunker. Relying on the undulating terrain and makeshift bunkers to resist, the Germans suddenly found that this bullet could easily penetrate the soil and sandbags and then hit the machine guns and shooters in the back, and anyone could barely be saved even if they were rubbed slightly, even if it only hit the non-vital parts of the arm, but the rapid blood loss was enough to render any first aid useless.........
The German army is indeed determined to fight, especially the German army that can be selected for the Storm Commando. But no matter how tenacious the nerves are, there is a limit, watching the comrades in front of them being cut in half by this mysterious weapon, and watching the other party wantonly slaughter far beyond their range. The Germans will also be afraid, and what is even more terrifying is that the light artillery that can destroy these weapons has been suppressed by the artillery belonging to the Russian army. The Russians seem to have spent all their body-barreled artillery on suppressing the German artillery, while the frontal infantry was given machine guns and mortars. …。
"It's really enjoyable, I have to say, this is the most practical weapon that Huaxia has provided us." A 50-S MACHINE GUN SHOOTER SAID AS HE FIRED, WHILE THE AMMUNITION FEEDER NEXT TO HIM SENT OVER A LONG 12.7 X 108 MM BULLET CHAIN. The only fly in the ointment is. This machine gun is air-cooled and must be stopped after a while, but this is not a big problem, and under the command of an experienced commander, they can maintain the continuity of fire by alternating designs. After the loss of artillery, the new 50 machine gun became the real king of the battlefield!
Although the Germans tried to rush through this life-and-death line consisting of 50 machine guns through various measures such as smoke bombs and roundabouts, how could they be said to rush at a distance of several hundred meters? A large number of equipped MP18 submachine guns have become ornaments, because they can't reach the target, and the mortars that are regarded as a sharp weapon have also become a burden, because they can't reach the target, and the machine gun crew is destroyed or suppressed at the first time, and when the German soldiers try to resist with the Mauser rifle in their hands, the automatic rifle on the opposite side can easily nail it to the .........ground with several times the projection.
Although the Germans have tried to save their lives as much as possible...... They tried their best to keep their bodies down and hide in any of the horns they could find on the battlefield, but none of them could stop the Scythe of Death on the other side! The whole attack disintegrated in an instant, and the Germans began to be frightened and began to struggle to withdraw. Even with smoke bombs and fire cover, the Germans involved in the attack suffered heavy casualties.
"Except for a very few positions where our army formed a breakthrough, a huge part of our offensive ended in failure, this Russian army is very elite, and it is equipped with supernumerary automatic weapons and artillery, they are very confident in themselves, almost all of the artillery is used to suppress our artillery, and in the confrontation at the battalion and company level, the opponent can disintegrate our offensive with only light weapons and battalion and company support fire."
"We've also dragged some areas of fighting into close combat. It was thought that with sophisticated equipment and highly qualified officers and soldiers could open the gap, but even in the trenches, our army still could not occupy an advantage, and the opponent was also equipped with a large number of submachine guns. If our Storm Assault Battalion is the elite of a division, then the combat effectiveness of this Russian army in front of us is almost equal to that of our elite troops. And they also have a particularly long range. AND THE EXTREMELY POWERFUL MACHINE GUN, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT OF THE BATTLEFIELD, THE BUCKLE OF THIS MACHINE GUN IS MORE THAN 10MM. The length of the bullet is more than 10 centimeters! This weapon is definitely the strongest blow to personnel and morale! At present, our army does not have weapons and equipment that can compete with it. ”。 …。
Looking at the battle report sent by the staff officer, the commander of the German Eighth Army, Hindenburg, looked at the map with a blue face, and now the situation is very bad. The Russian Eighth and Third Armies regrouped with the help of this sudden force, although at the beginning the surprise attack of the German-Austrian training army caused some casualties to the Russians. But it was only a rout, and it did not cause much damage, and just when the Germans wanted to expand the victory, this army, which had never noticed, dragged the Germans and Austrians to death. And caused heavy losses, in the following days, the Germans did not believe in evil, continued to invest elite troops, and the artillery that followed in the rear also began to suppress it, but who would have thought that it would be accompanied by the arrival of heavy weapons. The Germans still haven't been able to open the gap.
The three German armies transferred to Austria-Hungary actually did not bring all their belongings over, and a large number of 150 cannons and 210 howitzers were stranded on the mainland or in the rear because of transportation problems, but according to German estimates, the 105MM cannon alone was enough, and as a result, in this exchange, the heavy artillery used by both sides gradually increased. EVEN FOUND IN THE RUSSIAN ARMY THERE ARE 122MM CANNONS, THESE ULTRA-LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY AND GERMAN HEAVY ARTILLERY UNITS HAVE ENGAGED IN BATTLE, AND NEITHER SIDE CAN COMPLETELY SUPPRESS THE OTHER. AND AMONG THE GUYS AT THE FRONT, EVEN IF THE GERMANS WERE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE THEIR CONSIDERABLE FORCES TO LAUNCH A COUNTERATTACK, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVILY DAMAGED BY 155MM HEAVY HOWITZERS WHO DID NOT KNOW WHERE THEY WERE HIDING. …………。
As a result, after several days of firefighting, the Russian troops on the opposite side suffered heavy losses, while one German division responsible for the frontal attack was almost disabled, and the remaining divisions were forced to move to the rear for correction. After the remaining two German armies took over, Hindenburg found that the Russian Third and Eighth Armies had reformed their defensive lines, and this force was also deployed in key places, forming a battlefield standoff. The only difference is that this time there is no obvious weakness in the connection of the other party, if you want to fight, you can only hit hard!
If all his subordinates were Germans, then there was no need to say that they would go directly, but there were only 2 German armies that he could use now. The rest are all Austrians...... There are two Russian armies on the opposite side, which together can fight at least 500,000, in addition to tens of thousands of elite Russian troops. Fighting in the wilderness, it is difficult to defeat the opponent, and the most fearful thing is that you will attack it, and as a result, the Austro-Hungarian army on both wings will be defeated, and then surrounded by others, how many people are there in 2 armies? It's only about 70,000 people. Moreover, there are no armored troops in his hands, and it is really difficult to cut through the opponent's defense line.
At a time when the Russian-Austrian front was facing each other, the situation on the Russian-German front was not optimistic, and the Russians could not survive by hugging themselves in reinforced concrete bunkers and trenches. The German siege artillery could smash important support points to pieces, but progress was no less slow, and now that the time is in October, winter is approaching soon, it is obviously impossible to solve Russian Poland in a short time. If you want to fight, you have to wait until the beginning of spring next year! Unlike history, while the stalemate on the Western Front was formed, the German offensive on the Eastern Front also seemed to come to a standstill, which is very abnormal. …。
