Chapter 1430 Attack, Expeditionary Army (First update, please subscribe)
On the night of May 5, at ten o'clock.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force that has been guarding the line of defense has attacked!
A whole ten divisions, almost 12 field troops, slammed into the flank of the German Fifth Army like a heavy punch.

At the beginning of the offensive, the first heavy artillery shelling!
Facing the sound of rumbling guns, tens of thousands of soldiers crossed the trenches, and the energetic team rushed towards the position of the Germans, like huge waves, one wave after another, ups and downs, never stop.

On the battlefield in the middle of the night, intense gunshots echoed in the air. The dense gunfire echoed in the air. The trajectory of tracer bullets dragged green and red trajectory in the dark night. Small and medium-caliber mortars fired continuously. shells.

This kind of large-scale field attack has not been seen since the Franco-Prussian War, and even after the start of the World War, the collision between the armies has never happened before.

Starting at ten o'clock in the evening on May 5, the offensive, detours, assaults, and even hand-to-hand combat between bayonets became the sonata of the night. From late night to early morning, and then to sunrise, the expeditionary force never stopped attacking.

Compared with the exhausted German army after a long-distance forced march, the expeditionary force can be said to be recharging their energy, and they launched fierce attacks again and again.After the sky brightened, the attack not only did not stop, but became more violent.

For more than ten consecutive hours, the 12 expeditionary force rolled in like a wave, launching a fierce attack on the German army. Even if the German army organized defense on the spot, the Imperial Expeditionary Force still fought with dozens of companies and battalions. Large-scale commandos interspersed among the gaps between the German troops, dividing and encircling them.Once the division is implemented, the successor troops will continue to bombard the German army with heavy artillery. Facing the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, the German troops who have neither time to build fortifications nor heavy artillery to counterattack can only fight against the fierce artillery fire. Struggling, under the fierce artillery attack, the German army without heavy artillery to counterattack had no choice but to retreat hastily, and the retreat was not so smooth. After all, the battlefield had already shown another situation—— The battalion and regiment-sized offensive troops not only divided the German army, but completely disrupted their defenses, so that the German army found that there were Ming troops everywhere and were attacked everywhere.

This kind of mobile warfare has never been encountered by the German army. In the face of this "unfamiliar" style of play, the German army is completely exhausted. The communication between troops is cut off as the troops intersperse. It has also lost contact a long time ago, and even lost contact with the army headquarters and the various armies. On the front line with a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, the Imperial Army used Brazil as a training ground on the land of South America. The new type of mobile warfare that was summed up in the 20 exercise showed its astonishing combat power for the first time in a war.

Perhaps the mode of war has not been changed, but on the 3rd, under the fierce attack of the German Fifth Army, they were completely clueless and could only be beaten passively. It was not until the evening of that day that they organized a basic defense.

But defense without heavy artillery cover is destined to be meaningless.

"How could this be?"

Standing in front of the map, Pabie, the commander of the German Fifth Army who had outstanding achievements in the Franco-Prussian War, stared at the German army that had been smashed to pieces on the map, his brows knit together.

As a typical Junker officer, he has never encountered such a style of play.

"Wing, flank... Shouldn't the Ming people use their main force to attack my weakness, and then attack alternately?"

What should a normal offense look like?
It should be a heavy blow!
It is to concentrate a heavy punch and hit the enemy's flank fiercely. This is the most normal way of attack, and for this kind of style of attack, it is not impossible to deal with it. When the ribs are attacked, the abdomen is contracted, so as to Arms and legs fight back from the wings.

In other words, the attacked part shrinks, and the two wings defend or counterattack.But the Ming army's style of play was very special. They didn't focus on attacking a certain area at all, but attacked like flowers blooming in all directions.

Even until now, Pabie has not figured out where the focus of the Ming army is, not to mention organizing an effective defense or counterattack, because he does not have much spare energy to organize a counterattack.

"Sir, I think the reason why the Ming army attacked like this is because they found that we are out of touch with the artillery!"

The chief of staff's reminder made Pabie frowned. Indeed, in order to pursue speed, the infantry and artillery were too far apart.

"Without the cover of cannons, it would be impossible for us to organize a violent counterattack. On the other hand, the Ming army can continuously bombard our defense line with heavy artillery. In a hurry, our troops have no effective fortifications to resist the Ming army. The artillery fire of the army directly led to the disadvantage of the entire front. Now the Ming army is attacking everywhere, but what about us? But we are retreating everywhere..."

Although he was unwilling to face this situation, Pabie still had to admit this reality. Faced with this reality, he could only order the troops to organize defenses on the spot, but he still expressed relief.

"Our ultimate goal is to induce the Ming and French coalition forces to attack our flanks. This is one of the reasons why we exposed our flanks. Soon, we will launch a counterattack. After all, we have an absolute advantage in terms of strength."

After saying these words, Pabie once again stood in front of the map. He stared at the map on the wall, his brows wrinkled. Occasionally, he would pick up a pipe and smoke a couple of times, and then he said to himself: .

"Their tactics are very strange."

The reason why Pabie felt this way was because this kind of interspersed attack with the battalion as an assault unit was not only violent but also very flexible. Facing the fierce attack, his troops could only defend passively.

"When we shrink the defense, the gap between the troops will be larger, which is more conducive to their attack...Damn it, what if we shrink it? No..."

Immediately Pabie vetoed this idea, because he was out of touch with the heavy artillery. Without heavy artillery, the shrinking army defended on the spot, but it was their target. At least now that the troops were scattered for defense, the artillery fire of the Ming army was also scattered.

He took a drag on his cigarette, thought for a while with the pipe in his hand, and then he said to himself.

"Fortunately, half of our strategic goal has been achieved. Now the Ming-French coalition forces have eaten our bait. Tomorrow, on the 4th at the latest, everything will end..."
