A red baron has been born, and before that, another baron also began to show his ferocious fangs on the battlefield:
Baron Ernst Alexson von Brahm!
The moment the gunfire sounded, the supplementary battalion had all entered the combat position.
The first trench assault team was the first trench assault team of the supplementary battalion:
Ernst's 1st Trench Commando!
Xiaoling finally helped. Although he refused to provide Wang Weiyi with MP18 submachine guns, he provided him with two Lewis M1914 infantry-type light machine guns used by the British and sufficient ammunition.
Although it did not achieve its goal, the Lewis light machine gun invented by the Americans has greatly improved the maneuverability of the machine gun compared with the Vickers Maxim heavy machine gun and the German MG08 heavy machine gun, and its firepower is comparable to that of a heavy machine gun.
These two light machine guns are bound to become the main force of the commando team.
A sharp whistle sounded, and several commandos quickly began to assemble.
"For Germany!" With this voice, Wang Weiyi was the first to rush out of the trench.
"For Germany!" All members of the 1st Trench Commando rushed out of the trenches.
Infantry attack—begin!
The trench commando team, composed of more than ten people, was a new tactic that emerged after the outbreak of the World War, and its founder was Ernst Brahm.
What appeared in front of the first trench assault team was the position named E2 before the war. About half a company of the French army was stationed here.
Sean, who was carrying a heavy machine gun, quickly directed his assistants to set up the heavy machine gun, but before them, the two light machine guns in the hands of Wang Weiyi and Guo Yunfeng opened fire at the same time.
The bullets swept towards the enemy on the opposite side like a whirlwind, making it impossible for the French to raise their heads. With the help of Wang Weiyi's sufficient time, the heavy machine gun in Sean's hand also opened fire at the same time.
The firepower composed of three light and heavy machine guns was quite terrifying, and the intertwined fire net suppressed the French.
Bunkerere was not affected by anything on the battlefield at all. He held the gun steadily, and then steadily pulled the trigger. The French officers wearing blue military caps quickly fell to his gun. Under the mouth...
"William, grenade!"
Two grenadiers with grenades on their bodies rushed forward, led by Guderian who also had grenades on them. They took off the grenades from their bodies and threw them towards the opponent's trench.
With the explosion of "Boom-Boom-Boom-", the French army's position was blown into a mess.
"Pyro, Pyro!"
The flamethrowers commanded by Corporal Mikel began to appear, spitting flames more terrifying than bullets and grenades towards the enemy's trenches, immediately engulfing the French trenches in a sea of fire.
"Stike! It's your turn! Hey, ammo, ammo! Where's the damn ammo guy!"
Stike didn't care about the ammunition man. He picked up the engineer shovel and rushed into the trench under the cover of machine guns and grenades.
The French in the trenches were already dizzy under such repeated attacks and suffered heavy casualties. At this moment, several ferocious Germans rushed in again!
Stike took the sharpened engineering shovel in his hand and stabbed an enemy to death in one stroke. Then he quickly pulled it out and smashed it hard. The head of a French soldier who was on fire was smashed to pieces... .
Pistols fired continuously, and engineers and shovels flew in turns, which made the French people who were embarrassed under the blows of machine guns, grenades, and flames torn to pieces.
At this time, Wang Weiyi and his commando team had also rushed in...
The position was in chaos, and the French were maimed. Just when everyone wanted to eliminate the French here, Wang Weiyi suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't care here, don't care here, leave it to the follow-up troops commanded by Second Lieutenant Hall to deal with it! Attack, attack, continue to attack with me!"
assault! assault! As long as the war does not stop, the assault will never end...
...
Second Army.
General Galwitz nervously followed every move on the front line, and battle reports continued to reach him. To his surprise, the outstanding battlefield performance of one unit gave this autumn offensive a good start:
Replacement Battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment.
Ernst Brahm again!
General Galwitz wished he could directly promote Ernst to division commander and let him command a division to directly destroy more enemy troops!
"It's incredible!" Colonel Rolle murmured while looking at the battle report in his hand: "The battle has just begun, and the supplementary battalion has already broken through three French trenches in a row. How did Ernst do it?"
"Is there any miracle that Baron Alexson can't accomplish?" General Galwitz said with a smile: "Ah, by the way, I heard that Ernst organized several commandos?"
"Ah, yes, that's what surprised me the most." Colonel Rolle said hurriedly: "You have to admit that Ernst is a genius, General. He equipped General Kinklock with his machine gun company and Spitfire squad. Totally spread out, God knows what he was thinking."
General Galwitz listened with interest. He began to feel that Captain Ernst's previous miracles were no accident.
For example, the Trench Assault Team is definitely a pioneering work. Although some people in the German army had proposed similar ideas before, they were not implemented at all.
But now Captain Ernst has done it.
Well, this kind of experience is completely suitable for promotion throughout the German army to minimize casualties.
"General, Colonel Kinklock sent the guy named Froman from the Military Intelligence Agency. I heard that he has some information that Colonel Kinklock cannot handle."
General Galwitz had a bored expression on his face, but he held it back and said, "Let them in."
Damn it, if it weren't for Prince Joachim, I would definitely sneer at them, but precisely because of Prince Joachim's background, he had to let the general arouse the boredom in his heart.
"General." As soon as he came in, Froman couldn't wait to say: "We found conclusive evidence that Baron Ernst Alexson von Brahm had an affair with the British."
General Galwitz and Colonel Rolle were shocked: "What did you say?"
"The evidence that Baron Ernst Alexson von Brahm had an affair with the British is conclusive." Froman repeated his words proudly: "He actually let a group of British prisoners go on the battlefield. And one of them is a senior British officer."
General Galwitz frowned, but then he said without hesitation: "Even if Ernst really did this, there must be a good reason for him!"
