The Rise of the Empire

When the infantry detachment moved to the starting position, accompanied by three red flares rising into the sky, the long-awaited Wasp assault gun rushed out from the hidden point, and at this time the artillery suppression of the attacking troops reached its peak! The barrage of 105mm howitzers and 120mm heavy mortars rolled back and forth on the opponent's defensive positions. \u003c/p\u003e"This is actually a double barrage?" Xiao Maoqi was surprised to find that when the barrage fired by the howitzer swept the first position and began to extend to the rear, the second barrage fired by the heavy mortar Taking over the job of the former and continuing to suppress the opponent's front-line troops, this special artillery support method was the first time for Little Maoqi to see it. \u003c/p\u003e"When the first barrage extends in depth, the opponent will often send troops in the shelter to enrich the first line of defense, and at this time the second barrage can effectively kill this part Enemy. Our attack on the breakthrough is three-dimensional. We use fierce artillery fire to squeeze several defense lines of the opponent at the same time!" Major General Schmidt explained. \u003c/p\u003eAccompanied by the rumbling sound of the engine and the sound of the tracks crushing the ground, short steel behemoths rushed out of the smoke. They used machine guns and artillery to quickly harvest the exposed firepower points on the opposite side. Machine guns and grenades are of no use to these tough guys. \u003c/p\u003eThe infantry who had moved to the starting position also began to attack. Under the cover of machine guns and 60 mortars, the engineers moved forward with obstacle-breaking tools. The first thing they had to solve was the minefield in front of the trench. It is one of the few things that can stop the advance of the tank. The blasting tubes are connected and extend forward continuously. With a series of muffled sounds, passages are blasted out of the originally complete minefield. \u003c/p\u003eUnder the cover of tanks, infantry squads began to advance alternately. The firepower group with machine guns as the core suppressed the exposed firepower points of the opponent. Forming the short sides of the trapezoidal front, they, together with the infantry, cut through the opponent's defense line like a chisel! \u003c/p\u003eBefore the appearance of tanks, there may not be special anti-tank guns, but this does not prevent the defender from leveling up infantry guns or field guns to shoot. The fundamental reason why the prince increased the weight of the first-generation breakthrough tank all the way was to defend against the opponent's high-explosive bombs or those shells that were not very powerful. In this exercise, although the defenders did not level the 3-inch rapid-fire guns, they still had some small-caliber infantry guns. \u003c/p\u003e"Priority to attack flat-firing artillery!" Several fire support teams carrying 12.7mm machine guns appeared 500 meters in front of the position. These large-caliber machine guns have great lethality against small artillery with gun mantlets. Ordinary 5 to 7mm steel plates can't stop the attack of large-caliber machine gun armor-piercing projectiles. Xiao Moqi personally saw a simulated 57mm infantry gun being smashed into pieces by a series of armor-piercing projectiles with a telescope. \u003c/p\u003e"I'm afraid this kind of large-caliber machine gun is not convenient to carry?" Little Moqi asked the person next to him. \u003c/p\u003e"They are actually not much heavier than our first-generation heavy machine guns. Because of the use of air cooling, there is no heavy bucket. The frame can be carried by three people, plus a certain amount of ammunition, seven people can handle it. Although it is a bit laborious." An officer explained. \u003c/p\u003eAlthough this is the No. 3 assault gun imitated by the technology of the First World War, after adding the track shoes, it is still not a high-explosive bomb fired by a small-caliber infantry gun! The grenade fired by the defender does not have much effect except for knocking off the track shoes hanging on the front armor. The low shape cannot protect them from such dense large-caliber machine guns, mortars, and flat artillery firepower. ,

With the artillery positions removed one by one, the access to the first line of defense was finally opened! \u003c/p\u003eA large number of infantrymen carrying submachine guns and grenades jumped into the trenches under the cover of chariots, using weapons called "bullet sprinklers" in their hands to quickly clean up the resisters in the trenches. The enemy will not give up just because a line of defense has been breached. Second-line reinforcements began to move towards the breakthrough, trying to block the breakthrough point. \u003c/p\u003eAt this time, the team carrying semi-automatic rifles and machine guns quickly seized the position, 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 of defense horizontally. The gap is bigger! Although the thin crickets do not have the heavy armor and artillery of the Wasp tank, their flexibility and high mobility make up for these shortcomings. When the opponent does not have heavy horizontal firepower, their performance is even more eye-catching than the Wasp! \u003c/p\u003e"To be honest, the performance of these little guys who are only equipped with machine guns is a bit beyond my expectation. They are agile and fast, cutting the opponent's defense line like a sharp scalpel. We encountered some small troubles at the support point, but we have to say that we need this new era of cavalry to carry out this task."\u003c/p\u003eThe entire offensive force continued to advance, and a small number of crickets and grenadiers continued to expand their positions. And the main armor group continued to attack in the depth direction, they wanted to completely penetrate the opponent's defense line! The distance between the opponent's two lines of defense is 800 meters to 1,000 meters. Under normal circumstances, this line of defense can completely exhaust the soldiers on the attacking side. It was very strenuous, and they had just penetrated the first line of defense, but with the help of the half-tracked transport vehicle, the soldiers responsible for attacking the second line of defense drove directly across the battlefield and into battle! \u003c/p\u003eThe speed of the attacker obviously exceeded the expectations of the defender. The attacker continued to attack the opponent in depth without any pause. The distance of more than 800 meters was simply too short for the Bavarian Legion who used wheels instead of feet. up! In just a few minutes, the muzzle of the Wasp assault gun was already on the opponent's forehead! At a distance of about 300 meters, the shooting of the 75mm artillery was stable and accurate, but the second line of defense did not have enough space to deploy minefields and various obstacles. \u003c/p\u003e"Their offensive speed is too slow, without any pause in the middle, and they cut the two very tightly laid lines of defense as easily as cutting butter with a hot knife." Xiao Moqi described it in his report. After piercing through two lines of defense in a row, the defenders' forces were exhausted, and the command center, logistics units, and artillery positions in the rear were completely exposed, and the cavalry, who had never had a chance to show off, could finally roar through the line of defense. So far, the whole exercise ended with the attacker winning. \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~! Ask for a subscription\u003c/a\u003e~~~!
