When it comes to fighting, the Germans are definitely much better than the Austrians, who also belong to the Germanic nation. They have long known that facing a defense line with machine guns and mortars, relying solely on infantry charges and blind fire suppression has no future. The Germans

People are very early

I learned the Stormtroopers plus fire blocking style that was only discovered in the late stages of World War 1. It was very useful when facing the Russian army attacking East Prussia. This time, the Germans wanted to repeat it in Silesia.

Their brilliance!

Although they did not prepare too many heavy artillery due to the rapid progress, the Germans still concentrated 75mm howitzers to provide support for the attacking troops. Later, a large number of elite infantry carried trench mortars, mine throwers and submachine guns rushed out of the forward position, each

Clear the minefields and barbed wire fences. The Germans moved very quickly and did not delay. They used tricky firepower to suppress the opponent's counterattack. They gradually approached the trenches and threw mortar shells and grenades into the trenches. Because of the 75mm light howitzer,

The attack forced the 82mm mortars in the rear of the Russian army to become silent.

Just when everything was going very smoothly for the German army, the sound of artillery coming from behind the Russian position made the Germans feel a little uneasy. Fortunately, the opponent's attack was not fierce, but was specifically used to suppress the German artillery.

The 75mm howitzer was destroyed because it was too forward. But it didn't matter. Under the guidance of the Stormtroopers, a large number of German troops had followed up.

The Germans believe that a series of continuous attacks will eventually defeat the opponent. They have an absolute advantage in terms of tactics and equipment. Although the Russian automatic rifles are more powerful, their firepower density is a bit low, and

After entering the trenches, the world is dominated by submachine guns. According to the German intelligence, it seems that the Russians are not equipped with many submachine guns.

Suddenly, a slightly low sound sounded from both sides of the Russian position. This sound was somewhat similar to that of a machine gun, but it was crisper and a bit heavier than a heavy machine gun. It seemed to be somewhere between a gun and a cannon.

A kind of weapon. A stream of flames spurting out from a very well-camouflaged bunker, although not as good as a machine gun.

It was so dense, but the power was much greater. A German soldier who was caught off guard was hit by a red fireball. The powerful ammunition directly cut the unlucky soldier into two pieces. Even the German soldier was cut in half at the same time.

He also looked in disbelief at the lower half of his body that was out of his control!

In an instant, a storm of flesh and blood swept across the entire battlefield. The German soldiers who had no time to dodge were beaten with flesh and blood by this powerful automatic weapon. When the Germans tried to fight back, they discovered that the point of fire was far beyond the range of the weapon in their hands.

In addition, both trench mortars and grenade launchers can only hit a few hundred meters, and the opponent's firepower point is at least about 800 meters away from you.

What shocked the Germans was that at such a long distance, this weapon actually maintained high accuracy and huge power. At this distance, the German mg08 machine gun could only suppress surface targets at most.

However, the opponent can accurately kill the German firepower points hidden behind mounds or bunkers, relying on the undulating terrain and adjacent areas.

The Germans who had built bunkers to resist suddenly discovered that this kind of bullet could easily penetrate the soil and sandbags and then beat the machine guns and shooters behind them to pieces. Anyone who was even slightly scratched would be almost hopeless, even if they were only hit.

Non-vital parts of the arm were removed, but the rapid blood loss was enough to render any first aid measures useless.

The German army is indeed determined to fight, especially those who can be selected into the Stormtroopers. But no matter how tough the nerves are, there is a limit. Watching the comrades in front of you being cut in half by this mysterious weapon, watching the opponent being far away from your range

Wanton massacre outside. Germany

The Chinese people are also afraid. What is even more frightening is that the light artillery that can destroy these weapons has been suppressed by the Russian artillery. The Russians seem to have used all their barrel artillery to suppress the German artillery, and the front

Fighting against infantry was left to machine guns and mortars.

"It was really fun to shoot. I have to say that this is the most practical weapon China has provided us." A 50mm machine gun shooter said while shooting, and the ammunition supply man next to him put long 12.7*108mm bullets.

The chain was delivered. The only flaw is that

, this kind of machine gun is air-cooled and must stop after firing for a while. However, this problem is not big. Under the command of experienced commanders, they can maintain the continuity of firepower through alternate designs. After losing the artillery,

The new 50mm machine gun has become the real king of the battlefield!

Although the Germans tried to rush through the life-and-death line composed of 50 machine guns through various measures such as smoke grenades and roundabouts, how could they rush through the distance of a few hundred meters? The large number of equipped MP18 submachine guns became decorations, because

They can't reach the target and are regarded as a weapon to attack difficulties.

Artillery fire also became a burden, because they could not reach the target, and the machine gun group was destroyed or suppressed at the first time. When the German soldiers tried to resist with the Mauser rifles in their hands, the automatic rifles on the opposite side easily killed them.

Use several times the amount of projection to pin it to the ground.

Although the Germans tried their best to save their lives, they tried their best to lower their bodies and hide in any corner they could find on the battlefield, but they could not stop the Reaper of Death from the opposite side! The entire attack disintegrated instantly.

The Germans became frightened and began to struggle to retreat. Even with smoke bombs and fire cover, the German troops involved in the attack still suffered heavy casualties.

"Except for the breakthrough of our army in a few positions, most of our attacks ended in failure. This Russian army is very elite and equipped with an overnumber of automatic weapons and artillery. They are very confident in themselves. Almost all of them have failed.

All the artillery is used to suppress our artillery, and in the confrontation at the battalion and company level, the opponent can disintegrate our offensive by only using light weapons and battalion and company support firepower."

"We have also dragged the battles in some areas into close combat. We originally thought that we could open the gap with sophisticated equipment and high-quality officers and soldiers, but even in the trenches, our army still cannot gain an advantage. Our opponents are also equipped with a large number of submachine guns.

.If our Stormtrooper Battalion is the elite of a division, then the combat effectiveness of the Russian army in front of us is almost the same as

Our elite troops are quite large. And they also have a machine gun with a particularly long range and great power. According to reports from the battlefield, several shots of this machine gun exceed 10mm. The length of the bullet exceeds 10 centimeters! This kind of machine gun has a very long range.

Weapons are definitely the most powerful in terms of damage to personnel and morale! Currently, our army has no weapons and equipment that can compete with it."

Looking at the battle report sent by the staff, Hindenburg, the commander of the German Eighth Army, looked at the map with a livid face. The situation is not good now. The Russian Eighth and Third Army completed the mission with the help of this sudden force.

Regrouping, although the unexpected attack by the German and Austrian training troops at the beginning caused some casualties to the Russian army, it was just a defeat and did not cause much damage.

Lost, just when the Germans wanted to expand their results. This army that had never noticed it held back the Germans and Austrians and caused heavy losses. In the following days, the Germans did not believe in evil and continued to invest.

The elite troops were mobilized. The artillery following up from behind also began to suppress them, but who would have thought that with the arrival of heavy weapons, the Germans still could not open a gap.

The three German armies transferred to the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not actually come with all their belongings. A large number of 150 cannons and 210 howitzers were stranded on the mainland or in the rear due to transportation problems. However, according to the German estimates, the 105mm cannon alone was enough.

As a result, in this battle, the heavy artillery used by both sides increased step by step. Even

As for the 122mm cannons found in the Russian army, these ultra-long-range artillery started a battle with the German heavy artillery troops. Neither side could completely suppress the other, and among the guys on the front line, even if the Germans could concentrate their considerable

If the troops launch a counterattack, they will be severely damaged by the 155mm heavy howitzer that is not known to be hidden there.

As a result, after several days of fighting, the Russian army on the opposite side suffered heavy losses, and one of the German divisions responsible for the frontal attack was almost crippled, and the remaining divisions were forced to move to the rear for correction. By the time the remaining 2 German army

After the individual army took over, Hindenburg discovered that the Russian Third and Eighth Army had re-formed a line of defense, and these troops were also deployed in key places, forming another battlefield confrontation. The only difference was that this time there was no connection between the other parties.

It's an obvious weakness. If you want to fight, you can only fight head-on!

If all his men were German troops, there would be no need to go straight to the battlefield. However, there are only two German armies at his disposal now, and the rest are all Austrians. There are two Russian armies on the opposite side, and together they can fight

There are at least 500,000 of them, in addition to tens of thousands of elite Russian troops. Fighting in the wilderness,

It is difficult to defeat the opponent. The most fearful thing is that if you attack it yourself, the Austro-Hungarian army on both wings will be defeated and then be surrounded. How many people do the two armies have? It is only about 70,000 people. And in your own hands

Without armored troops, it is really difficult to cut through the opponent's defense line.

Just when the Russian-Austrian front was facing a confrontation, the situation on the Russian-German front was not optimistic. The Russians huddled themselves in reinforced concrete bunkers and trenches and could not survive. Although the German siege artillery could smash important support points

into pieces, but progress was just as slow, and now time has

In October, winter is coming soon, and it is obviously impossible to solve Russian Poland in a short period of time. If you want to fight, you have to wait until the spring of next year! Unlike in history, a stalemate is formed on the Western Front.

At the same time, the German offensive on the Eastern Front seemed to be coming to a halt, which was very abnormal!
