Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 15: Battle (7) Tilt
The infantry group charge, this is an offensive tactic that was born almost at the same time as the infantry arm and is equally old. Please add the scriptures|Classic|Book Friends New Group 9494-7767【】
From the moment it was born until now, it has hardly undergone any changes. This simplest tactic can be said to run through the entire history of human warfare.
Although with the continuous advancement of human society’s technology and culture, the weapons in the hands of soldiers have become more and more advanced, and at the same time, countless outstanding military figures and genius generals and various advanced military Thoughts and theories, but no one can come up with a new tactic that can replace the use of infantry groups to charge to win the final decisive victory of the battle.
Maybe the appearance of tanks has given those thoughtful military theorists a ray of light, but they still failed to completely liberate the infantry from this tactic. At least before the emergence of more powerful automatic weapons on the battlefield and the substantial increase in infantry firepower, the infantry group charge was the only regular tactic in the army's offensive. This situation did not change slightly until the outbreak of the Korean War.
The large leap in firepower of the defending side will indeed cause the army that continues to use this ancient tactics to suffer unbearable and huge losses, which has made some countries that cannot afford this huge loss of personnel develop their own military New tactics have led to the emergence of more advanced weapons, but this does not mean that mankind has completely abandoned this ancient tactic.
In the small-scale conflicts in some backward areas, people can still see the shadow of this tactic that everyone thinks has been eliminated from time to time. The two warring parties used countless mutilated corpses and endless blood to prove to the world. Tenacious vitality.
But no one can deny that the infantry group charge is a test of the psychological and individual qualities of a country’s soldiers. It is also a test of the psychological and combat qualities of the defending soldiers and the command level of officers. The cruelest and bloodiest test in battle, the loser generally loses his life while losing honor.
"The French infantry is on the front line, sir! The French infantry is starting a group charge!"
An observation sentry reported loudly.
"Order the artillery of each company to intercept and shoot, and order all companies on the first line to hold their positions."
Major Murray was sitting in front of the telephone anxiously waiting for the report that the communications squad had resumed the communication line, and he did not hesitate to give orders to the staff standing aside.
"Order the second-line troops to prepare for battle, and all regiment artillery will immediately stop shooting!"
Following the cold command, Daogen took the surviving subordinates of the command into the shelter of a battalion.
"Your Excellency, District Captain."
Murray and his staff hurriedly got up and stood at attention to salute the disgraced SS colonel.
Dougan didn't even glance at the respectful subordinates. He strode hurriedly to the observation window of the shelter and took the telescope from the sentry and looked towards the front.
"Our firepower has been suppressed by those French tanks. Damn Rawls, he moved his position without authorization. I'm going to send him to a military court! This incompetent fool!"
Dougan angrily cursed the battalion commander of the "Fenris" tank sniper artillery battalion. If the artillery were still in their original positions, the French tank group should have become another three to four hundred meters away. A pile of burning scrap iron will never be able to use machine guns and artillery unscrupulously to add casualties one after another to his frontline troops.
"Murray!"
Dougan turned around abruptly, and he shouted at the SS major battalion commander who was standing stupidly behind him.
"Yes, sir!"
The SS major straightened his chest quickly.
"Why are you standing here, have my orders been conveyed?"
Dogen frowned and asked coldly.
"Ah? Your order..."
Murray didn't understand yet, he quickly cast a glance at his combat staff for help.
"We are preparing to communicate, sir."
The responsive combat staff quickly relieved his battalion commander.
"Then let’s release it soon, and order the regiment’s artillery to immediately cover and shoot at the front of my position within a 100-meter range. The pressure on the front line is very strong. We must use all the artillery power on our hands and must withstand it. Attack of the French infantry!
Add one more, order the regiment reserve and the second-line troops to be ready immediately, ready to support the troops on the first-line positions at any time! Order the logistics company to speed up the ammunition supply. The ammunition consumption of the frontline troops must be very high now.
Also, immediately organize personnel to transport the wounded from the front line to the rear. Communications staff, immediately find a way to restore contact with the headquarters!
By the way, immediately send someone to the "Fenris" camp and tell Major Rawls that if his cannon does not fire again within five minutes, then he is ready to change his clothes and wait for the wood to be cut in the labor camp. Tell him like this!
Okay, don't stand stupidly, you are fighting now, don't you have work to do? Hurry up! "
Dogan roared loudly at these subordinates.
Following Daogen's roar, everyone in the small battalion headquarters moved into action.
Dogen has successfully imprinted his deterrence in the heart of every SS man in the previous period. Even Murray has experienced dozens of battles. The rich battlefield commanders would be scared to calf muscles when they saw Daogen start to go crazy, not to mention other staff officers, sergeants, and other small fish and shrimps. As a result, the camp of the first battalion immediately jumped up. Even the staff officers and sergeants who have nothing to do for a while, they are holding a few pages of documents or two pieces of waste paper in the shelter, rushing in and out to show that they are also working.
Dogan doesn't care about this, he is now watching the battle on the forward position nervously with his telescope. At this time, if anyone had the intention of observing, he would be surprised to find that Colonel Dogen’s always cold and steady face showed a trace of panic for the first time, because at that moment the German front-line troops were already trapped. In the hard fight.
"These French guys are crazy!"
Warrant Officer Schmidt gritted his teeth while pulling out a new 30-round magazine from the magazine bag on his waist and inserting it into the mp38 receiver.
"Keep shooting! Hit those **** French guys back!"
Schmidt turned his head and shouted at his men, then turned his head and shot a long burst at the oncoming French infantry group.
The French are crazy, this is the consistent feeling of all German soldiers.
Looking at the dense formations lined up like locusts, wearing worn-out yellow-brown military coats, carrying the same old and cumbersome outfits, and wearing Adria helmets with almost invisible colors on their heads. Holding on to the old-fashioned bomb bay rifle with the faded long, gray 1914 bayonet, the French soldiers screaming with meaningless notes in their mouths struggling to charge, the young German defenders unanimously felt in their hearts An inexplicable tension.
Not because of fear, these young Waffen SS members are fearless in front of the enemy.
Their tension comes from the responsibility on their shoulders. Although they are confident that they can withstand any enemy attack as long as they are still alive, the number of enemies in front of them is obviously beyond their recognition.
The huge assault formation of the French infantry brought a sense of mental powerlessness to the German soldiers that has never appeared before, because compared with the huge lineup of the offensive, the number of soldiers on the German front line is really too much. A little thinner, and obviously at a disadvantage in terms of firepower.
The Schmidt platoon is the same as other Waffen-SS platoons, defending a two-hundred-meter trench, with solid fortifications, standard configuration, and sufficient ammunition.
Schmidt ranks as the unit with the least loss among the first-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 degrees of injury.
Although Schmitt can be considered extremely lucky compared with the 30% loss of the Harold platoon on his right, the number of casualties of soldiers is only a statistic, and does not reflect the battlefield. The real situation.
In fact, the Schmitt platoon lost more severely than the Harold platoon. In the headless fly-like attack of the French tanks, the Schmitt platoon lost his only 50mm mortar. And also lost two machine guns.
What makes Schmidt most distressed is that his most capable assistant, Deputy Platoon Commander Sergeant Weissler, was seriously injured by a British machine gun bullet. This makes him now have to bear the entire platoon alone. All command work up and down.
Now there are only four non-commissioned officers and one commanding officer left in the platoon, with thirty armed soldiers outside. The only weapons left were 35 Mauser 98k rifles and two machine guns. One of them was strengthened just before the battle, and four mp38 submachine guns, which were self-defense weapons for platoon leaders and three squad leaders. .
And what they faced was a crazy charge of more than 500 soldiers from a French infantry battalion.
Although the Germans have enough ammunition, the weakness in the number of personnel and weapons prevents them from building dense fire barriers. Judging from the current situation of the Schmitt platoon, the German first-line positions cannot theoretically stop the French team. The crazy group rushed forward.
The two sides of the battle are now close to the distance that can blur the appearance of the opponent's soldiers. Although the French soldiers have paid heavy casualties under the tenacious resistance of the German infantry~IndoMTL.com~, everyone can see it and win. In fact, the balance has begun to slowly tilt towards the French army.
As long as we advance a further 100 meters, the French team will be able to create a new history. This is the last opportunity for a legal person to save the Third French Republic.
But no French can know that in the last large-scale ground assault of the Great Third Republic of France on the Western Front, none of the soldiers who were desperately advancing, and those soldiers who were saving the fate of France, was the real France. citizen.
The moment the hard-top cylinder cap covered with white cloth and full-piece sunshade appeared in the sight of the German Waffen-SS soldiers, the two most powerful ground armed forces in the world finally collided Together, the fate of Germany and France rested in the hands of two equally elite armies, and the balance of the goddess of victory swayed violently amid the roar of soldiers on both sides.
