Thunder Emperor

What is hell like?If you stand here now, you must have some understanding of hell, war!Gunpowder!Howling!Roar!blood!stump!Intertwined together to play a fearsome symphony, countless infantrymen, under the cover of tanks, stepped on the muddy and stinky mud, slowly advancing step by step, not raising their rifles, Fire at the flash of light in the darkness ahead.

In the beginning, the infantry and tanks cooperated well. The tanks would stop from time to time and wait for the infantry behind to approach. But as they got closer and closer to the enemy's position, countless barbed wire fences and anti-charge deep trenches made the infantry who had already declined in physical strength , Gradually unable to keep up with the speed of the tank, at this time, this improvised infantry-tank coordinated operation exposed its biggest disadvantages and loopholes.

When the tank stopped and waited for the infantry to approach, it became a fixed target for the close-in artillery, and because the tanks were too scattered, they did not play the role of the expected temporary defense line. A large number of infantry were all exposed to the enemy's heavy machine guns. Inside the ray, they were suppressed in the mud by the dense machine gun firepower network, waiting for the fire of the god of death to come.

The attack of the [-]rd Infantry Division was also suppressed. As the tank of the first offensive wave, it was nearly a hundred meters away from the skirmishers behind it. At this time, Liu Qiang, who was sitting in the No. Medics start controlling all tanks.

Ten seconds later, all the tanks started to reverse, and the reversed tanks backed up while shooting suppressively, while the fifty trucks of the transport team, under the order of Liu Qiang, turned their sides to the front and parked in the deep mire. Near the skirmishers, there is a body with steel plates forming a protective area.

Relying on this protection area, fifty heavy machine guns on fifty trucks kept pouring bullets towards the enemy's positions. At this moment, the war eagles and war wolves kept shooting and killing the opponent's commander and firepower point, and the tank reversed It was not to get close to the convoy, but to relieve the pressure on the front of the infantry. When some of the firepower on the opposite side was attracted by the convoy and a large number of infantry entered a relatively safe protection zone, forty tanks had already formed a classic formation according to Liu Qiang's order. Triangular impact formation.

The commander of the [-]rd Infantry Regiment of the [-]th Infantry Division of the German-Austrian Allied Forces, Edward Jeske, was holding up his binoculars and observing the situation on the opposite side through the early morning mist. The defense area he was in charge of was the offensive area of ​​the French [-]rd Infantry Division. When he saw that the firepower he had arranged had suppressed the opponent's impact, he couldn't help laughing. Originally, when he saw the tanks approaching from the opposite side, he once thought that this battle would be difficult for him, but no matter what he No one expected that the opponent's infantry would be so far away from the tank.

Edward Jeske, who seized the opportunity, ordered all the heavy machine gun fire points to attack the opponent's infantry first, and only sent a small amount of artillery fire to suppress the tanks. Such tactics have achieved great results. The enemy's The infantry were beaten to a halt, while the tanks slowly retreated.

However, the sudden change in the opponent's truck fleet made Edward Jakes puzzled, and the subsequent change in the formation of the tanks allowed him to see what a tank assault formation is.Tanks No. 40 to No. 20, centered on the 75th and No. [-] tanks, quickly approached the enemy's position in the shape of an arrow, while the [-]mm short-barreled smoothbore gun on the tank directly raised the field of fire towards the enemy's position. The near-defense gun positions fired intensively, while the tank machine guns in charge of close-range defense continued to suppress the nearby trench line. Such an offensive method made the German army unable to raise its head.

The tank was about to press the enemy's trench line, and Liu Qiang's transport convoy was advancing in a zigzag shape, covering a large number of infantry and approaching the tank. At this moment, about six kilometers behind the enemy's line of defense, an earth-shattering explosion sounded through the air. Heaven and earth, the huge vibration shook many soldiers, so that they could not stand still and sat down on the ground.

At the headquarters of the [-]rd Infantry Division of the French Army, an observer ran in and reported to the division commander who was puzzled by the explosion: "Report to the division commander, a high-altitude artillery observation post reported that a violent explosion occurred about six kilometers behind the enemy's position. It is suspected that it happened at the enemy's long-range artillery position, and the enemy's long-range artillery fire has disappeared after the explosion!"

After receiving the good news that fell from the sky, the commander of the [-]rd Infantry Division issued an order for all members to attack. For a while, the charge horns and soldiers' shouts sounded everywhere on the front of the [-]rd Infantry Division.The noise behind him didn't distract Liu Qiang. At this time, he was using the radio and the iron horn to approach the convoy and the infantry leaning behind the convoy, and quickly approached the tank.

Five minutes later, when the fifty bullet-scarred trucks of the transport convoy began to rush forward in parallel with the tanks, the infantrymen who were breathing behind began to shoot at the front.This time, the soldiers on the German defense line could no longer resist. The soldiers who were unable to raise their heads under the pressure of the tanks and trucks began to move to the sides in order to find a way out, because only in this way could they get out of the rainstorm. like bullets.

This retreat directly gave up a trench with a width of about 400 meters to the third infantry division of the French army. After entering the trench, a large number of soldiers began to chase the enemy towards both ends of the trench, while the trucks of the transport team Under Liu Qiang's order, he chased along the trenches with the soldiers to both ends, but he ordered the tanks to cross the trench line and charge northeastward after replenishing fuel and ammunition. According to Goff's report, ten kilometers to the northeast is the headquarters of the enemy's No. 13 Infantry Division.

At this time, the headquarters of the 1.1rd Infantry Division of the French Army had already started toasting to celebrate the victory of this battle. They didn't even notice that the battle ahead was not over yet. With the help of armed trucks, the trench warfare was fought very smoothly, and the casualties were not as many as when they were just advancing.

At 43:13 in the morning, Liu Qiang received a report from the front that the German No. [-] Infantry Division Commander Oskarjed Hoffman was captured alive. He chose a decent surrender during the unexpected assault of the tank unit. .

At 23:200, the command of the [-]rd Infantry Division ordered all to withdraw. Although many soldiers did not understand why they had to withdraw, Liu Qiang knew that the assault on the whole line ended in failure. The five infantry divisions plus [-] tanks In the attack, only the area where Liu Qiang's transport team was located had some gains, and the battles in the rest of the area ended because of the failure of the infantry and tank coordinated operations.

The long-lost active attack failed, but because the third division captured the opponent alive, the commander of the No.13 Infantry Division Oskarjed Hoffman made the senior leaders of the joint command still rate it as a successful assault operation, and The newspapers praised this battle as the biggest achievement of the Allied Forces since its inception, and in order to further humiliate the face of the German-Austrian Allied Forces, with the consent of the high-level Allied Powers, General Oscar Kajed Hoffmann was killed sent back to the other party.

After reading the news in the newspaper about sending back Oscar Kajed Hoffman, Liu Qiang, with a look of contempt on his face, scolded softly: "A bunch of shameless pigs who only know how to get promoted and get rich!"

Liu Qiang's scolding was heard by Brant. This little guy who had just passed his birthday and was considered an adult asked curiously: "Sir! Are you scolding those politicians? I just don't understand. After all The high officials who were just captured, why were they sent back like this? What do you think they think?"

Liu Qiang listened to Brant's inquiry, put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and patted his head lightly and said: "This is politics! This is war! If you can figure it out one day, you will completely change your life." life!" Looking at Liu Qiang's back, Brant frowned incomprehensibly, and continued to wipe Liu Qiang's big leather boots.
