Xu Jun picked up the telescope and looked at the battlefield, thinking hard about countermeasures.

When he saw his heiii lying on the battlefield, a sudden flash of inspiration appeared in Xu Jun's mind. Xu Jun lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at the British position opposite, and made up his mind.

"It's time to go, I've been taking a gamble!"

At this time, the British artillery bombardment suddenly began. The 18 25-pound artillery pieces from the artillery battalion of the 151st Brigade of the British Army were desperately bombarding the German positions and the open space in front. The German positions immediately exploded and filled with smoke. The large pieces of soil that were blown up mixed with grass roots and leaves broke into the trenches like rain. Several soldiers in the trenches were almost buried alive by the soil.

The continuous and violent explosions shattered the eardrums of many soldiers, and blood flowed down from the ear holes.

"It's barrage shooting, it seems that their infantry is about to charge." Muller neighed.

"No, it's not that simple, tell the soldiers not to act rashly. They are destroying our anti-tank minefield. Then they will bombard our artillery positions. Muller, have you informed them to transfer positions?" Xu Jun shrank in the trenches, pulling Muller's collar while shouting in his ear.

"Notified!" Mueller nodded

"That's good. Go and order all the soldiers to not shoot until the enemy infantry enters a range of one hundred meters from our position, and wait for my order."

"As for orders, General." Muller went down the trenches to find his company commanders.

"Hans!" Xu Jun shouted to Hans who was spitting out mud on the side: "Connect the light infantry artillery positions and anti-tank artillery positions to me.

"As for orders, general." Hans quickly dragged the battlefield cable phone over.

"Ah, is it Lieutenant Saar? I am Reinhardt! I now order you that all the light infantry cannons are loaded with smoke bombs, yes, smoke bombs. Have you heard it clearly? Set the meter to a range of 200 to 100 meters in front of the position, and, if you don't get my order, don't open fire. Wait for my order."

Then Xu Jun connected the anti-tank gun position and issued the same order. Finally, he connected the four 150 self-propelled guns in the woods.

"Is it Lieutenant Drayton? I am General Reinhardt. Now listen carefully to me, you...what? I can't hear clearly, please speak loudly? Ah, you have measured the coordinates I gave you? That's good! I'm here to determine this, okay, you're waiting for my order."

Xu Jun put down the phone and breathed a long sigh. Suddenly he seemed to remember something again, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then he pulled a German sergeant next to him and quietly explained something.

"Ah?" The sergeant looked surprised.

"Don't ask why, go!"

"As for orders, General" the sergeant hurriedly ran to the field kitchen along the trench.

"Now let's see if the British are really as stupid as they are in the movie." Xu Jun put on the m35 helmet that Mueller found him, found an ammunition box and sat down.

The shelling finally stopped ten minutes later. The British plowed the entire open land with shells, and the anti-tank minefield was completely destroyed. The situation in the trenches was not bad. It was a product during the war in the First World War position. Although it was a little older, it was still quite solid. The British shells failed to collapse it for a section. Of course, this was not a direct hit.

The shelling did not cause any major losses to Xu Jun except for the blown stones and the eardrum ruptured. The shells attacking Xu Jun's artillery positions hit the empty space, which was all wasted.

After a while, a whistle sounded from the British position opposite. Then groups of infantry emerged from the woods and roared and lined up the trenches and walked towards the trenches under the leadership of the officers.

The roar of tank engines sounded in the woods. With the sound of metal friction of the tracks, about three dozen British tanks rushed out of the woods. At the front were the seven "Matilda" IIs side by side, and the other "Matilda" ones also lined up in several rows and followed behind the seven "Matilda" twos. They crossed the infantry array and started charging with a "squeaking" and the engine was spraying with blue smoke.

"It's the "Matilda" tank, don't worry, it can't run fast, except for thicker armor, there's nothing scary. Don't fire all weapons. Please wait for my command and shoot the enemy's infantry at a later time! Wait until they get close before fighting."

All the soldiers and officers looked at the enemy walking towards them motionlessly. The soldiers began to set the Mauser 98k watch ruler on 100 meters, and then placed the m24 grenades with unscrewed lids neatly where they could reach them.

The officers all held the mp38 and opened the buttons of the magazine bag around their waists. Some veterans pulled out the bayonet and stuck it on the edge of the trench, while the other recruits learned to do that.

"Yes, so you won't be in a hurry when you need a bayonet." Xu Jun nodded secretly.

Then Xu Jun turned his head and looked at the machine gun team beside him for shooting. The mg34 machine gun shooter stared at the target with his eyes fiercely, put his finger on the trigger, and the deputy shooter hung a link to the machine gun. The other shooter opened the iron bullet box placed beside him and dragged a link to hang it around his neck. He was also carrying an iron box equipped with a barrel.

"It's very good. It's indeed a well-trained army. You can verify whether they are worthy of fame in a while." Xu Jun sighed.

Xu Jun looked back at his direct subordinates.

Hans frowned, wearing an m35 steel helmet he got from somewhere, and squatted beside the phone with an mp38 on his back while wiping his Gru pistol. He really would find a way to calm down. Randolph was wearing headphones and searching for signals from other troops in front of the radio station, not caring about the matter around him at all. He seemed to be a serious person.

Daogen was holding a Mauser 98k sniper type and aiming at the opposite side. It seemed that he had found a good toy. The two trainee staff were still fiddling with the "Ennigma". One of them was debugging the gears stained with dirt and the other was flipping through the codebook. It seemed that they could not count on it for a while. I really don't know how they graduated from military academy.

The two orderly soldiers were each holding a Mauser 98k and aiming nervously. I don’t know how their marksmanship are. I hope they didn’t become orderly soldiers because their marksmanship is too smelly.
