My own war game

Chapter 45 Begin the Attack

Outside the woods, about 200 German troops were gathering. According to previous intelligence, there was a French task force occupying a hidden manor and might be engaging in secret sabotage activities.

The fighting on the front line had reached a fever pitch. The newly joined American and Canadian coalition forces blocked the path of two German armies at the front. Paris was only 37 miles away from the front line. It seemed that Hindenburg was about to see a turning point in the war.

At this time, the rear must not have any problems, so in order to eliminate this unknown French commando, the German command sent out a full infantry battalion. (Not fully staffed)
"Lieutenant, how many people were there when you made contact with the enemy?" The major commander looked at Metzer, who was serving as a guide.

"Not sure. There are probably about ten enemies I can contact, but I suspect there are more hiding in other places." Metzer stood aside, with a black eyepatch covering one of his eyes.

"Well, even if there are twenty enemies on the opposite side, let two platoons of soldiers attack together and rush over to destroy them!" The major gave the order casually.

Metzer was stunned for a moment, then he said carefully, "I have no intention of questioning your decision, but according to the manual, when attacking such a fortress building, we should first conduct fire reconnaissance..."

Before Metzer could finish, he was rudely interrupted. "Second Lieutenant, you are just my guide now. It is not your responsibility to participate in the command! I have been in Verdun for three months. How to command soldiers in battle does not require a military academy graduate who has just graduated for half a year to say anything!"

Metzer remained silent, bowed slightly and took a step back, but he already had his own thoughts in mind.

"This idiot brought back the habit of a seesaw battle from the muddy pond of Verdun, deploying only a quarter of his troops at a time to ensure flexibility in his attack."

"In this kind of fortress battle, either a small group of elite troops sneak in and succeed in a single strike, or a large force rushes in and uses numbers and firepower to overwhelm the defenders at once. Adding fuel to the fire is a taboo in military strategy."

However, Metzer did not try to persuade him anymore, but picked up a telescope to observe the situation in the jungle.

"Okay, you're there? Let me see if you have as many tricks when you fight." The German lieutenant subconsciously touched his eye patch and muttered.

The other side of the woods.

"Hurry up! Groot, put the heavy machine gun here!" He Chi was directing the big black soldier in the villa to carry the M1914 heavy machine gun to a window on the first floor, with the muzzle pointed at the jungle behind the manor.

"He, I'm not questioning your decision, but wouldn't it be better to put the heavy machine gun on the roof? This way, no matter where the enemy attacks from, we will have time to adjust the firing range." Lieutenant Jason said beside him.

He Chi knew what the French lieutenant meant. Once a heavy machine gun was set up, it would be difficult to move it at will. If the enemy's charge route was unknown, it would be best to set it up in a high place in the center so that the muzzle could be temporarily adjusted.

But today was different, because He Chi knew exactly where the enemy was coming from. In the 3D projection of his right eye, the German army was divided into two large and small forces. One force of about 30 people pressed forward from the front of the manor, while the other 20-man force took a detour and came to the back of the manor.

"Is this an attempt to attract firepower from the front and then launch a surprise attack from the back door?" He Chi analyzed as he looked at the 3D projection in front of him.

It has to be said that although the German commanders were somewhat arrogant, they were not completely useless fools. This "front and back attack" combat method might really have unexpected results under normal circumstances.

Unfortunately, in He Chi's eyes, this tactic has lost all its meaning.

"Just stay here and guard the heavy machine gun. If anyone appears in front of you, greet them. Don't be afraid of wasting bullets!" He Chi asked the big black man to guard next to the machine gun and gave him the simplest task.

"Take out all the grenade launchers, take them all out!" He Chi shouted, and asked the soldiers to place a total of 12 grenade launchers in the front of the manor.

"He, what are you doing again?" This time, even Christine, who had only a little knowledge of weapons, could see that something was wrong. There was no open space in front of the manor, but only tall trees with lush branches and leaves. It was difficult to see the specific location of people in the jungle. It was not suitable for hand-held grenade launchers, which require precise throwing of projectiles. "Don't worry, I will explain it later. Remember that each person has three grenade launchers. Don't change the ammunition when firing. After firing one, pick up another one and fire all the ammunition as quickly as possible." He Chi explained solemnly, and then said, "I'll go to the woods to take a look" and disappeared.

"I'm afraid that by the time you explain, the Germans will have already rushed in front of us," the female reporter muttered softly, but still reached out to help carry the ammunition. Unconsciously, she had begun to blindly trust He Chi without asking why.

The same situation happened to several other soldiers. Even though they did not understand He Chi's intentions, they were willing to carry out his orders and arrangements.

In the words of Lieutenant Jason, "I don't have any better ideas anyway, so let him try. If it doesn't work, we can just wait until the Germans rush over and fight again."

After going through several incidents, He Chi is establishing his prestige in the hearts of this team.

In the woods in the distance, a small bird suddenly flew into the sky.

The Germans are coming.

A reinforced platoon led by a sergeant advanced in a skirmish search formation.

The scouts at the front carefully pushed aside the weeds in front of them and tried to make their movements as light as possible. Although it was difficult for thirty people to completely conceal their actions, the later the enemy discovered the surprise attack, the better the effect would be.

500 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, and soon you will see the exit of the jungle, and in the next second.

Click!

He seemed to have stepped on something.

boom! ! !
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" the German major shouted.

"It's a mine. Only French anti-personnel mines can make this kind of sound. It looks like several of them exploded." Metzer said softly, but soon he became confused again. "With such a large jungle area, how did he confirm that the minefield was on our route in such a short time?"

Yes, it was a mine, but not a minefield, but four trigger-type anti-personnel mines that He Chi had taken and casually dropped on the ground according to the direction of the German army's advance in the 3D vision. (Because of the tight time, they were not even buried)
Three of the four mines exploded, and at least five German soldiers were injured to varying degrees. More importantly, the German army had completely exposed its target.

"The other side has discovered us, we should retreat!" Metzer suggested.

"No! Charge! Let the soldiers charge forward in one go!" But the major issued a completely different order.

It has to be said that the German soldiers were very obedient. They continued to follow their commander's orders even when they were suddenly attacked, and they could even charge at a trot.

But just as they were about to rush out of the woods, a dozen small black dots flew over from the sky.

　The volume on the first day of trial was average, so I listened to the editor and changed the title to give it a try.
