"That's it. Little Moltke is not a mediocre man. He knows that even if he sends more troops, he cannot effectively control such a long front. He just controls a few points and then waits for us to fight. Then Markonson stabs us in the back."

"Allocate all armored vehicles to the front infantry corps. Schmidt, you command the fast corps to launch a counterattack, and the attack depth can occupy the former Prussian warning line at most. In addition, don't have too high expectations for the Air Force, pay attention to your wings. If you find Markenson's fast corps, kill them first." The prince reminded again.

Even during the Cold War, the Air Force could not be on call, let alone now? So in the prince's plan, the Air Force was built into a flying heavy artillery unit targeting fixed targets and face targets, and intercepting a baggage convoy, but if you want to play with close-range battlefield support, it would be better to wash and sleep. Therefore, when designing a fast legion, the prince's request was to build them into a synthetic legion that could deal with more than 90% of the situation, which of course includes fighting field battles with the opponent's mobile corps!

The Bavarian Legion finally moved! The infantry troops located on the main defense line began to enter the attack starting position, and long-range artillery and heavy mortars also focused their attacks on the enemy in front of them. The selected vanguard team carried mortars, machine guns, submachine guns and blasting equipment to launch a counterattack. Behind them were self-propelled artillery equipped with half-tracked vehicles and armored vehicles equipped with two-pound cannons.

A large number of automatic weapons, light artillery, direct-target medium-caliber artillery support, and engineering soldiers cooperate to fight together. It is definitely the prototype of the storm commando in the later 1st battle, which will maximize the synthesis and firepower of the vanguard troops. The infantry troops responsible for counterattacks also have 4 battalions, but they concentrated all their firepower on a company responsible for breakthroughs!

Lieutenant Fedor von Bock personally led a battalion to defend the newly consolidated position. As a noble born in a military family and a top student in a military academy, the lieutenant knew that after occupying a new position, the opponent's first wave of counterattack was the most dangerous, so as soon as he entered the position, Lieutenant Bock immediately set up a defensive position. Considering the opponent's artillery advantages and air strikes, Bock gave up the centralized deployment of automatic firearms and mortars on the front, and he put more aircraft

The guns were concentrated on the side positions and the reverse slope positions. Almost all soldiers were busy. They used the engineer shovels in their hands to expand the original positions and arranged machine guns and mortar bunkers. The three 77mm rapid-fire cannons assigned to the battalion were deployed at the end of the position to be used as long-range suppression firepower. The entire defense line formed a U-shaped pocket array based on the terrain. Most machine guns and mortars were deployed on both sides of the direction where the opponent might launch an attack, and on the bottom of the U-shaped are three rapid-fire cannons.

"If the opponent does not have an armored unit, with this position, we can block the attacks of the two battalions." Bock is very confident in his defense line. The front line is surrounded by hills and bushes, which is not suitable for large-scale attacks. At least the vehicles are difficult to walk on, and it is even more difficult for medium-caliber artillery to accompany the attack here. The only suitable direction for attack is in the open area in the middle, but this place has been blocked by his own firepower point.

"It's time for those Protestants in the north to see what real infantry tactics are." After smoking the last cigarette that he was given today, Hermann took his squad to set off. Instead of choosing an open area that would be easier to unfold, they chose to attack the opponent's left wing. This was a small hill. Although it restricted the deployment of the troops, the mortars and the two-pound cannons on the two armored vehicles assigned to him could suppress most of the firepower points on the front. As for the remaining hastily built castles and scattered lines, Hermann believed that his elite infantry could handle it.

The squad led by Hermann had only two platoons of troops, but was equipped with an independent engineer squad and no less than 8 light machine guns. The 8 machine gun groups quickly scattered. The three-man teams passed through the smoke with the cover of terrain and smoke bombs. Three to four combat teams formed a squad, like an open fishing net, thinking about the opponent's pounce. The suppression of the 2-pound cannon and mortar arrived as scheduled as planned. One round of shells pulled out straight or curved trajectory and thought about the imaginary target. Amid the sound of artillery fire, the infantry of both sides remained silent rationally. They knew that the final battle that really decided the victory was at the last distance of 200 to 300 meters. If it was farther, the effect would be very bad.

Tutou. The machine gunner in a dark castle finally couldn't hold back and opened fire at a group of blurred figures in the distance. Fire snakes made of bullets swept back and forth against the ground, completely locking the passage between the two valleys.

"It's quite smart." Herman carefully observed the other party's position. There were scattered lines on both sides of the machine gun castle, and it was located in the north of the hills. Walking from the bare hills, you will be taken care of by the opponent's mortars. The other party's machine gun bunker obviously considered dealing with the mortars. According to Herman's experience, it should be a log cap and then covered with rammed earth. Although the building is very sloppy, it is no problem to block the 60 mortars, and the front passage is very narrow, so it is a bit difficult to get over. The armored vehicles can't drive here.

"We attack the fox line on the left." Hermann pondered for a moment and issued an attack order. After leaving two machine gun teams on the front to restrain them, the remaining personnel began to detour from the side. On the relatively open side, the Bavarian infantry and the Prussian infantry carried out a textbook-like infantry offensive and defensive battle.

The MG07 machine guns equipped by the Prussian army kept roaring. With the help of a stable sled quadrato, the experienced Prussian shooters were fierce and accurate. The Prussians were not stupid. They knew that the opponent would attack the side when the front was small and unable to be deployed. So a platoon of soldiers and two machine guns were deployed on the side. After clearing the shooting boundary and calibrating the distance, the Prussian machine gunners could easily suppress any single target using optical instruments and shooting meters.

The two machine guns were constantly spitting out fire snakes like dragon heads. They tried to drive out the enemies close to them. The other party was very scattered, and the front was a bit large compared to the two machine guns. The non-commissioned officer in charge of the machine gun team must find the target that poses the greatest threat to him through the smoke screen - the opponent's machine gun team. Mortars and grenade launchers are not threats here. First of all, because the machine gun team is relatively backward, and relying on the mountain, curved fire weapons with excessive angles have no shooting boundary at all!
