Battle of the Third Reich

The infantry group charge, this is an attacking tactic that was born at the same time as the infantry.

From the moment it was born to the present, there has been almost no change. This simplest tactic can be said to have run through the history of human war.

Although with the continuous advancement of technology and culture in human society, the weapons in the hands of soldiers have become more and more advanced, and at the same time, countless outstanding military strategists and genius generals and various advanced military ideas and theories have emerged. However, no one can come up with a new tactic that can replace the infantry group charge to win the final decisive victory of the battle.

Perhaps the emergence of tanks gave the gleaming military theorists a glimmer of light, but they still failed to completely liberate the infantry from this tactic. At least on the battlefield, before the emergence of more powerful automatic weapons and the increase in infantry firepower, the infantry group charge was the only regular tactic when the army troops attacked. This situation did not change slightly until the Korean War broke out.

The large leap in defense firepower will indeed cause the army that continues to use this ancient tactic to suffer unbearable and huge losses. This has caused some countries that cannot afford such huge personnel losses to develop new tactics suitable for their respective countries’ military forces. This has led to the emergence of more advanced weapons, but this does not mean that mankind has completely abandoned this ancient tactic.

In small-scale conflicts in some backward areas, people can still see the shadow of this tactic that everyone believes has been eliminated from time to time. .

But no one can deny that the infantry group charge is a test of the psychological qualities and individual qualities of soldiers in a country. It is also a test of the psychological qualities and combat qualities of soldiers on the defensive side and the level of command of officers. The most brutal test of cruelty. Losers generally lose their lives while losing honor.

"French infantry is hitting the front line, sir! The French infantry has started to charge in groups!"

A watch sentinel reported loudly.

"Order each company's artillery to intercept the shots, and order all companies in the first-line positions to hold their positions."

Major Murray was sitting in front of the phone anxiously waiting for the report of the communication team to restore the communication line. He gave the order to the staff standing without hesitation.

"Order the second-line troops to prepare for battle, and all regiment artillery immediately began to block shooting!"

With the cold command, Dougan led the surviving commanders into the shelter of a battalion.

"Your Excellency Captain."

Morey and his staff quickly stood up and paid tribute to the disgraced Colonel of the SS.

Dougan didn't look at those respectful men. He hurried to the observation window of the shelter and took the telescope from the sentry to the front.

"Our firepower has been suppressed by those French tanks. Damn Rawls, he moved his position without permission. I want to send him to the military court! This incompetent idiot!"

Dougan angrily cursed the commander of the "Fenris" tank sniper artillery battalion. If the cannons were still in their original positions, the French tank group should have been turned into another pile of fire three or four hundred meters away. The scrap iron will never use machine guns and artillery to add unprecedented casualties to its first-line troops like it is now.

"Morry!"

Dao Gen turned sharply, and he shouted to the SS commander who was standing behind him stupidly.

"Yes, sir!"

The SS Major quickly lifted his chest.

"What are you doing here, have my orders been communicated?"

Dogen asked frowningly.

"Ah? Your orders..."

Morey hadn't figured it out yet, he quickly turned to his combat staff for help.

"We are preparing to communicate, sir."

The quick-response combat staff quickly cleared their battalion commander.

"It will not be released soon. I ordered the regiment artillery to immediately cover the 100-meter range of the front of my position. Now the pressure on the front line is very strong. We must use all the artillery forces on the ground and must withstand the French infantry. attack!

Add one more, order the regiment reserve team and the second-line position troops to be ready immediately, ready to support the troops on the first-line position at any time! The logistics company was ordered to speed up the supply of ammunition. Now the first-line troops must consume a lot of ammunition.

Also, immediately organize personnel to transport the wounded from the front to the rear. Communications staff, immediately find a way to restore contact with the headquarters!

By the way, send someone to Camp Fenris immediately and tell Major Rolls that if his cannon does not fire within five minutes, then he is ready to change his clothes and wait to go to the hard labor camp to cut the wood. Just tell him !

Okay, don’t be stupid. You are fighting now, don’t you have no work to do? Don't act quickly! "

Dougan roared loudly at the men.

With Dougan's roar, everyone in this small battalion command took action.

In the previous period, Dougan has successfully carved his deterrence into the heart of every SS team. Even Morris, who has been through dozens of battles, is an experienced battlefield. When the commander saw Dougan started to swell, he would be terrified of his calves, not to mention other small fish such as staff officers and non-commissioned officers. As a result, a flying dog jumped up in a battalion. Even the staff and sergeants who had nothing to do at hand were holding a few pages of paper or two pieces of waste paper in the masking department and ran in and out to show that they were also working.

Dougan didn't care about it. He was now nervously watching the battle on the frontier position with his telescope. At this time, if anyone had the intention to observe, he would be surprised to find that for the first time Colonel Dougan’s cold and steady face showed a trace of panic for the first time, because at that moment Germany’s front-line troops had fallen into never before. In the hard fight.

"The French are crazy!"

Warrant Schmidt gritted his teeth while pulling a new 30-round magazine from the magazine bag on his waist and inserted it into the mp38 case.

"Keep shooting! Fight back those **** Frenchmen!"

Schmidt turned his head and shouted to his men, then turned back and fired a long continuous shot at the oncoming French infantry group.

The French are crazy, which is the same feeling for all German soldiers.

Looking at the dense formations like locusts, wearing worn tawny army coats, carrying the same old and cumbersome outfits, wearing Adriatic helmets on their heads that can hardly see the original colors, wearing them With the long gray grey 1914 bayonet-style old bayonet rifle that has faded its gloss, the French soldiers who are struggling to charge with meaningless notes are screaming in the mouth, and the young German defenders are inexplicably feeling inexplicable in their hearts. Nervous.

Not because of fear, these young armed SSs are fearless in front of the enemy.

Their tension comes from the responsibility they bear on their shoulders. Although they are confident that they can resist any enemy's attack as long as they are still alive, the number of enemies in front of them has clearly exceeded their perception.

The French infantry’s huge assault formation gave the German soldiers a sense of powerlessness that had never appeared, because the number of soldiers on the front line in Germany was too thin compared to the large lineup of the attacking side. And it is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of firepower.

The Schmitt platoon, like other Waffen SS platoons, was defended by a 200-meter trench, with strong fortifications, standard configuration, and ample ammunition.

Schmitt was the least lost unit in the front-line combat troops. Under the bombardment of French artillery and the attack of French tanks, he lost only three soldiers, and seven soldiers and two non-commissioned officers suffered various kinds of damage. Degree of injury.

Although Schmidt can be considered to be extremely lucky compared with the 30% loss of the Harold platoon on his right wing, the number of soldier casualties is only a data and does not reflect the true situation on the battlefield. .

In fact, the Schmitt platoon lost more damage than the Harold platoon. In the headless fly attack of the French tank, the Schmitt platoon lost his only 50mm mortar and also lost Two machine guns.

What makes Schmitt most distressed is that his most capable assistant, Sergeant Weissler, deputy platoon sergeant, was seriously injured by a British machine gun bullet. This makes him now obliged to take up the entire platoon by himself. Command work.

Now there are only four non-commissioned officers and one commanding officer in the entire platoon, with 30 armed soldiers on the outside. There are only 35 Mauser 98k rifles and two machine guns left in the weapon, one of which was strengthened just before the battle, and there are four mp38 submachine guns, which are distributed to the platoon leader and three squad leader self-defense weapons .

And they faced a crazy charge of more than 500 soldiers in a French infantry battalion.

Although the Germans have enough ammunition, the weak number of personnel and weapons prevents them from building dense firepower barriers. Judging from the current situation of the Schmitt platoon, the German front line has theoretically been unable to prevent the French team from being crazy Group breakout.

The two sides of the battle are now close to the distance where they can clearly distinguish the appearance of the other soldier. Although the French soldiers have suffered heavy casualties under the tenacious resistance of the German infantry, everyone can see that the scale of victory has actually begun to slowly Leaned in the direction of the French army.

As long as the distance of one hundred meters is further advanced, the French team will be able to create a new history. This is the last chance for the French people to save the French Third Republic.

But no French can know that during the last large-scale ground charge on the Western Front of the Great Third Republic of France, none of these soldiers who were desperately advancing, those who were saving the destiny of France, were true French citizens.

When the hard-topped cylindrical cap covered with white drapes and a full-length sunshade appeared in the field of vision of the German Armed Forces soldiers, the two most powerful ground armed forces in the world finally collided, The fate of Germany and France is in the hands of two equally elite armies, and the scales of the goddess of victory sway violently in the roar of the soldiers on both sides.
