“General, the enemy is attacking!”
In Bratis, at eight o’clock, the coalition forces launched an artillery attack on time, just like before.
“Haha, they are really punctual, it feels like they are punching in for work, they are all keeping track of the time!”
Dietrich glanced at his watch and said to the staff with a smile.
Everyone laughed knowingly at this. The coalition forces on the opposite side are very interesting.
Because the coalition forces are composed of armies of multiple countries, it is difficult to determine who is the leader and who is the follower. It stands to reason that they should be divided according to the number of troops and the strength of their combat effectiveness. In this case, Jake, who has sent more than 600,000 troops, should obviously take the lead!
But this is obviously impossible, because the strength of the British Empire is not on the same level as Jake and Bolan. Their strength is even stronger, and they are also the world hegemons. Lord, asking them to accept the command of their younger brother, isn’t that humiliating them?
Moreover, even if the British agreed, the Polish people might not agree. After all, they also sent more than 500,000 troops, which was only slightly less in number than the Jekes who were fighting at home.
And they believed that their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Polish people, so even if their numbers were slightly smaller, their overall combat effectiveness was still stronger!
In this case, if they were asked to accept Jeke’s leadership, the Polish people would definitely not agree. If they were pissed off, they might just take their troops and slap him. The stock left!
Although the British did not send many troops, their comprehensive national strength was obviously higher than that of the British. Moreover, these two countries were their younger brothers and were countries that accepted their protection!
Therefore, the British actually wanted to strive for this dominance! As a result
, the three countries had their own ulterior motives, and each of them was looking for various excuses and reasons to grab the leadership, and no one was willing to obey anyone!
Then they quarreled until their faces turned red and their necks became thick. In the end, no one could convince anyone, and they could only fight on their own!
Although they were nominally a coalition army, they did not do what they did in the First World War, where the armies of the Allied countries were closely united to form the Western Front General Command and then unify the command of the troops of various countries.
Because there was no unified command, when attacking the German army, the armies of the three countries had to inform each other before the war, and then agree on the time of the attack, and then launch the attack separately.
Such a rigid way of attack made the German army feel very strange. They had not seen anyone use this way of fighting for a long time, so Dietrich had a feeling that the other party was punching in to work, and everything seemed to be agreed upon!
“Have all the troops taken shelter in the anti-artillery holes?”
The enemy’s artillery bombardment was very regular, which gave the German army great convenience. They could enter the anti-artillery holes one step ahead of the enemy’s artillery bombardment to reduce the casualties brought to their side by the enemy’s artillery bombardment!
“Well, the troops on the front line have been covered!”
The staff had already arranged these things. In fact, even if the staff did not issue an order, the middle and lower-level generals below knew what to do. After all, no one was stupid!
“Well then, let our artillery launch a counterattack!”
During the Ruhr crisis, the German army was equipped with a batch of anti-artillery radars, which were mainly used by Model’s troops stationed in the Bocholt area. At that time, the French army dispatched a large number of heavy troops equipped with artillery to attack Model. Model’s troops suffered heavy casualties under the enemy’s artillery fire. In order to destroy the enemy’s artillery and reduce the casualties of the German army, Mainz purchased a batch of anti-artillery radars!
This batch of radars performed extremely well in that battle, successfully helping Model destroy the enemy’s artillery and defend the position.
Having tasted the sweetness, Mainz purchased a batch of equipment of the same type and distributed it to the artillery units of each army group, specifically to deal with the enemy’s artillery!
Dietrich’s Sixth Army, as one of the seven main forces, was also equipped with this weapon. Although compared with the enemy’s 1.2 million large-scale equipped with thousands of artillery, his army group only had large heavy artillery, and the difference in quantity was not small.
However, with the cooperation of the anti-artillery radar, the stage of their 800 heavy artillery was obviously better than that of the opponent. The artillery cluster is much larger!
Dietrich’s order was quickly sent to the German artillery unit. After receiving the order, the 800 heavy artillery of the Sixth Army immediately took off their gun covers and entered the position, and the anti-artillery radar immediately began to work, inferring the specific location of the enemy’s artillery position based on the trajectory of the enemy’s artillery.
In later generations, anti-artillery radars, combined with the global positioning system, can quickly determine the location of the enemy’s artillery and achieve positioning, so that their own artillery, air force and even missile units can immediately attack and destroy the enemy’s artillery positions.
In this era, because there was no global satellite positioning system, they could only use the parabola principle of mathematics to reverse the trajectory of the enemy’s artillery shells and then infer the location of the enemy’s artillery.
The error of this method is actually very large, especially when the enemy’s artillery unit is relatively small and the number of artillery is relatively small! In the early anti-artillery radars, due to the poor performance of computers, there is a high probability of errors in calculations, so there are often relatively large errors.
If the enemy’s artillery is small, with only a few or a dozen guns, then this speculation may be outrageous!
But if the enemy’s artillery is large, this problem is not a big problem.
After all, hundreds or even thousands of artillery pieces require a huge launch site. With such a large launch site, the artillery strikes of our side can easily cover this place.
The number of artillery pieces on the opposite side is large, so once the German radar is turned on, it quickly locks the enemy’s position!
“Determine the target position, complete the shooting parameters, all artillery, two base shells, five minutes of rapid firing!”
Boom boom boom!
After the German artillery commander gave the order, the rumbling sound of artillery was immediately heard on the German position.
After five minutes of rapid firing, they did not care about the results at all and immediately began to transfer their positions.
In the duel between artillery and artillery, the most taboo thing for everyone is to expose their position. Once the enemy knows their position, then their position will soon be attacked by the enemy!
Artillerymen are most aware of the power of the weapons in their hands, so they don’t want to be cannon fodder at all!
Therefore, without the commander urging, the German artillerymen immediately began to dismantle and transfer their artillery according to the subjects in the training!
……
At eight o’clock in the morning on the coalition position, the commanders of the three countries were all at the front line holding binoculars to check the German defense deployment on the opposite position, and were also waiting for the results of the artillery bombardment on their own position.
Since the Napoleonic Wars, the status of artillery as a weapon in the armies of various countries has become higher and higher, especially after the emergence of howitzers, this weapon with great power, sufficient lethality, and long range has immediately become a weapon of mass destruction that all countries are competing to develop!
At this time, before the attack, it has become a standard subject for the armies of various countries to bomb with artillery to destroy the enemy’s firepower points and clear the obstacles for the infantry attack.
The tactics of artillery bombardment-infantry attack have become the two axes of modern armies.
And in the future, when bombers are developed.
Artillery bombardment-aircraft bombardment-infantry attack has become a textbook-like three-axe offensive. This tactic has not changed even after eighty or ninety years.
At this time, the coalition forces are just following their usual training and using their most accustomed tactics.
“Haha, 4,300 artillery pieces are enough to give the Hans on the opposite side a hard time!”
“Yes, with so many artillery pieces firing at the same time, the scene would definitely be very shocking. If I were a Hans, I would definitely not be able to withstand such an attack!”
Boom boom boom!
“Haha, the show is about to begin. Everyone, be prepared to see Hans trembling under the bombardment of our artillery cluster!”
When the coalition artillery cluster began to fire, whether it was the British, the Czechs and the Polish, they were all confidently ready to enjoy a beautiful artillery feast!
After all, there are not many opportunities to witness thousands of artillery firing at the same time!
It must be said that just from the momentum, the power of the coalition artillery attack is quite good!
When thousands of shells landed together, the whole earth began to tremble. Even at a distance of thousands of meters, in their own positions,���Observing this scene through a telescope, the horrific sight of the dense artillery explosions still shocked several generals of the coalition forces and left them speechless!
“With such fierce firepower, why worry about Hans not being destroyed?”
The Jieke people were the most excited, because they wanted to drive away the invaders the most!
And the intensive artillery fire just now gave them hope!
“”Keep bombing, let the Hans feel what despair is!”
