The roar of the artillery pierced the tranquility of the morning, and the shells like raindrops roared from several kilometers or even ten kilometers away. The flames and morning glows of long-range artillery fired against each other, making people feel a different magnificence. The flame storm mixed with shrapnel swept across the entire German frontier position.

The veterans of the Western Front, who have been through the battlefield for a long time, quietly hid in anti-aircraft holes. They have experienced this situation many times. You can say that their nerves are thick enough or numb. Groups of soldiers sit around, checking their weapons while listening to the sound of artillery fire outside. Experienced soldiers can tell whether the opponent's fire suppression continues or goes far through the sound of artillery. If the French's shelling looks backward, it means that the opponent's tanks and infantry are going to get on.

Although there are many long-range cannons from the French, there are really large caliber heavy artillery, such as 203mm class howitzers, which are very small. On the one hand, these cannons are rare and transported, and on the other hand, a considerable number of heavy artillery are provided by the British, and the shells are also directly moved from warships. However, the 8-inch cannons in the British fleet are not standard equipment, while 9.2-inch cannons are quite large, but this thing is too heavy... Therefore, unless they are directly hit by cannons, they are safer in the reinforced anti-aircraft shelter.

"Enter the position!" When the artillery fire went far away, teams of German soldiers began to rush out of the bunker and moved along the trench to the front-line defensive positions. At the same time, the elite French assault team rushed up almost at the rhythm of shells! When the smoke gradually dissipated, the distance between the infantry between the two sides was only about 300 to 500 meters. In an instant, the sound of machine guns and rifles fired throughout the battlefield. On the battlefield far away from the Western Front, German and French soldiers engaged in a Western Front-Mode battle!

"Damn it! I knew this garbage would definitely lose its chain!" A French soldier cursed and evacuated backwards. The Shaosha machine gun in his hand had another problem. It might be that the bullet was stuck or that the firing device was a little fault. However, no matter what, this machine gun was not used for the time being. The performance problems of the Shaosha machine gun have always troubled the French army, so when the French army trained machine gunners, they had to learn how to repair the gun instead of shooting! However, the French also had a solution, that is, to equip more Shaosha machine guns to the impact troops... The French, in a 14-man assault team, two machine guns, or even three!

Under the cover of artillery fire, when the French assault squad advanced to a position 300 to 500 meters away from the German army, the number of killing machine guns with absolutely a large number of killing machine guns can also be fired against the Germans' mg series. Both sides are equipped with grenade launchers and mortars. At this distance, the excellent firepower sustainability of the mg series machine guns cannot be fully utilized. In order to prevent being taken seriously by the other party, the Germans always have to change positions frequently. Generally, they have to change places if they can shoot a 150-round bullet belt. Otherwise, God knows where a grenade will come!

Relying on the advantage of the first move, a team of French soldiers gradually crossed the minefield and barbed wire and advanced towards the outermost trench. However, when they rushed to a distance of only 100 meters from the trench, the German "bullet spray paint sprayer" once again showed their power! At a distance of 50 to 100 meters, several soldiers holding submachine guns could fire the fire of two machine guns. The mp09 series submachine guns and a huge 50-round drum became a powerful weapon to disrupt the attack of French soldiers. The explosive fire of groups of submachine gunmen formed an insurmountable fire net at a distance of 100 meters, and tied up strands of flesh and blood alleys among the groups of French people, and the entire attack formation was knocked down.

"Machine gunner! Indirect shooting!" A French non-commissioned officer directed a Hagiches machine gun to start shooting from the side. The machine gunner slightly adjusted the elevation angle, and then locked the German army in front of the French army through the scope. With a series of bullets, the French heavy machine gun team, which was slightly behind, began to show their power. The bullets shot from both wings crossed the human wall in front and shot them quickly at the opponent!

However, when the French machine gunner had just shot all over the bullet belt and the next to him had not had time to pick up another bullet belt, a dazzling fire snake fell from the sky, and the powerful bullet directly cut the upper body of a soldier next to him, and his internal organs and blood sprayed on the machine gunner! The German 12.7mm machine gun began to shoot at a distance of 800 meters, which was beyond the range of the grenade launcher. When the French heavy machine guns began to shoot, it also meant that they were not far from death. Two 12.7mm machine guns completed the coverage of a heavy machine gun position in just over ten seconds. After a rain of bullets, only the blown machine gun parts and blood and corpses were left in the position.

Groups of soldiers fell between the trench and the barbed wire. The French launched an attack in 7 places at the same time, 4 of which failed to break through the Germans' first line of defense, and the other three successfully entered a wedge. Then, the French artillery began to isolate the position, and more French troops poured in from this breakthrough to prepare to expand the results of the battle. During the attack on the first morning of the first day, both sides paid a lot of manpower and ammunition, but they only fought a draw.

"Where is the French tank?" Von Seckert looked at the situation of the enemy and us on the sand table and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The French gathered the troops of two armored divisions this time, but did not enter the battlefield, which made Lieutenant General Seckert feel uneasy.

At the same time, in a place where von Secker could not see, the two most elite French armored troops were moving towards the east of Busar day and night after breaking through the Turkish troops on the side. Xia Fei had no intention of using precious armored troops to fight to the German defense line and war defense artillery. He chose to cut off the German supply line first, and then leave some troops to slowly eat the opponent, and the main force continued to move forward! Xia Fei planned to celebrate their victory in Constantinople a month later!

Two torrents of steel advanced rapidly on both sides of the German ring defensive positions, and Xia Fei used all the trucks he could find to support the two armored divisions. At the same time, in order to closely follow the shortcomings of the infantry, he also recruited a large number of cavalry to accompany him.

Without any resistance, Xia Fei's armored troops advanced at a speed of 35 to 40 kilometers per day, almost setting a record of French marching speed. However, the German defense line around Bursa was deep enough, and it took three days to simply bypass the von Seckert's defense zone and attack eastward!
