General Xiafei, who personally deployed this defense line, knew very well that although these defense lines were nothing, as long as the Germans were willing to fight and concentrate their forces, it would not be difficult to break through them, but launching attacks in more than a dozen places at the same time was obviously equivalent to dispersing their combat effectiveness. What was their purpose? In less than half an hour, the defense was disintegrated one after another, and it was relying on infantry. There was only one explanation, that is, the Germans used their storm commando this time!

Storm Commando, this is composed of the most elite and most dedicated soldiers in each division of the German Army. According to intelligence, each German division has a Storm Commando battalion, ranging in size from hundreds to 1,000. They are the spearheads of the attack of the entire German infantry division and the engine of the offensive. They are the most valuable resource. Now, the Germans have directly put almost all the elite infantry on the front line, so what do they want to do?

According to what Xia Fei had imagined before, the Germans should choose an attack direction, and then gradually put themselves into the elite infantry in their hands, tearing the defense line with the tanks, slowly squeezing the French defense line like nailing a hammer. What about the French? What about the French? What needs to be done is to use the defense line and artillery to hinder the opponent's advance, and then wait until the reserve team arrives, and when the opponent is trapped, they will fight the opponent in a wave of trouble. But now, the opponent has not followed the script at all. This kind of tactic of directly pressing the whole line without distinguishing the key points has been rare since the Napoleon era!

"His Excellency Commander, the German infantry advances very quickly. They have begun to attack the second line of defense. The frontline reserve team is ready to attack. Should the troops in our hands be ready to be dispatched?" asked an officer.

"No hurry, we didn't catch the opponent's attack direction, and at night, the artillery performance had a great impact. Let's take a look. Order the troops to stand firm and wait for assistance." Xia Fei ordered that the second line of defense had a certain amount of mortars and peaceful guns. It would probably not be that easy for the Germans to break through, right? Xia Fei said in his heart.

"Totally crush them! All non-vehicle towing artillery concentrate their firepower to support the frontline troops, and destroy all the shells of these artillery! There are also heavy mortars! They also have some effects on the shallow positions and use them all! After tonight, we may not be able to use these!" At this time, Earl Schmidt also received information that the frontline troops were attacking the French second line of defense, so he ordered.

The French had a very deep strategic depth, and ordinary howitzers could not hit the back defense line at all, and if it was dawn, the French long-range artillery could easily counter-suppress. Therefore, the Germans chose to give full play to the role of these artillery in the process of breaking through the opponent's shallow defense line at night!

In the continuous shelling like thunder, half-tracked self-propelled mortars walked towards the battlefield. Although these vehicles equipped with 210mm large-caliber short-barrel cannons have a range of only about 5,000 meters, their power can be described as terrifying when attacking a fixed offensive. At this moment, the French machine gun positions and artillery nests that were constantly roaring in the distance are their targets!

Boom! The short and thick cannon muzzles spewed out a huge fireball, and nearly 100 kilograms of heavy shells drew dangerous arcs in the air, and then hit the bunkers and bunkers that locked the roads of the German offensive forces in the frightened eyes of the French.

How could the hasty civil and fortifications withstand such a violent critical strike? With the loud bangs, countless building fragments and artillery parts were directly blown into the sky by powerful artillery. In the night sky, under the light of the flames, the German troops on the front line could still see smoke columns as high as more than ten meters high rising into the air. When the violent shelling just ended and the smoke had not yet dissipated, the infantry of the Storm Commando almost stepped on the landing point of the shells to launch an attack.

The French artillery reacted very quickly. Through telephone and radio, under the guidance of the front-line observation post, a large number of flames shone behind the French positions. After a moment, dozens or hundreds of tons of steel ran towards the breakthrough point with destruction and death. After experiencing the initial chaos, the French fire blockade began!

"Okay, it's time to see us." At this time, on the initial German starting position, the engineers welcomed a group of new comrades. With the huge figures moving in the night, wolf-style tanks like ancient giant beasts appeared in front of the people. More than a dozen tanks entered the offensive position with the help of their comrades. An engineer commander next to him was introducing the safe passage they opened to the tank commander. When the Storm Commando on the front was advancing wildly, the engineers behind were also preparing, and they also opened up several roads to the depths of the French army under the cover of friendly forces.

This is like entering a room. Although they did not knock on the door, the obstacles outside had been cleaned so that the steel beasts behind them could quickly and efficiently hit the door!

"Tonight, in the second attack queue, I couldn't see a walking infantryman." A German officer wrote in his memoir. Behind the tank were half-tracked trucks and trucks, and farther away, there should be a large number of truck guns. All troops, both infantry and artillery, were fully motorized, without a horse, and no one walked with their feet. Such troops were a miracle in this era. A unit made of steel and engines was enough to scare anyone!

Of course, the Bavarian Legion can't get many such troops, with only five in total. The so-called good steel must be used on the blade, but in the environment of one battle, even such troops may still suffer a loss in the systematic defense system. Tanks are very powerful, but mines buried underground, flying artillery fire, and infantry can cause trouble to these powerful guys. Various defense measures are enough to hold back the most powerful offensive spearhead, and then, in the opponent's continuous long-term artillery attacks and continuous counterattacks, a powerful offensive will eventually fail.

However, the Bavarian Legion has faced such a formation many times at the Iron Fort training ground. How could it be that it is not prepared for the battlefield? In fact, the first wave of storm commandos in front were just feint attacks. The Bavarian military had no intention of using these infantry units to completely kill the French second line of defense! Because it was too difficult and time was not allowed!
