10. The first positional battle

In the summer of 1916, the British attack on the Somme in France became the bloodiest battle in history, and every advancement required thousands of soldiers to pay the price of bleeding.

On August 30, the first batch of 50 "Mark I" tanks were secretly transported from Britain to France. In early September, the helpless British general Heg believed that the stalemate of the trench on the Western Front must be broken and ordered the "Mark I" tanks, which are new weapons and equipment, to be put into operation on September 13.

This is the first time that the world uses tanks to fight. The British army invested a total of 49 "Mark I" tanks to the front line. However, after the tank formations that participated in the battle set off on September 13, before they arrived at the front line battlefield, 17 of them broke down halfway due to various reasons.

In this way, the armored formation that was nearly three of them lost its combat effectiveness before firing a shell. After the remaining 32 tanks sailed to their destination not far from the German position, they spread out on the 8-kilometer front line and began to use 57mm artillery to bombard the German position violently.

In order to achieve the attempt of a sudden attack, General Heg ordered all tanks to break through to the German positions in the early morning of September 15.

September 15, 1916.

In the early morning, the battlefield was covered in smoke. The British "Mark I" tank began to creak towards the German positions and soon disappeared from the British commander's sight.

However, before the 32 tanks reached the German position, 14 more were lying down: either there was a technical failure, either fell into a quagmire, or fell into a bomb crater. In this way, only 18 left in the world's first tank battle. The tanks drove towards the German position as slowly as old ox.

The German soldiers who were waiting in the trenches suddenly heard a very strange metal noise coming from the direction of the British position. They didn't know what the mystery was, and they stretched their heads out of the trenches to spy.

The German soldiers suddenly discovered that a strange mechanical device emerged from the uninhabited area in the fog and crawled straight towards the German positions. Before the German soldiers could figure out what was going on, the "monster" suddenly spitted fire.

Some German soldiers immediately fell into a pool of blood. The rest of the German soldiers fled from the trenches and rushed to the rear. So the British army quickly occupied the trenches.

Relying on the power of the tank, the British army quickly advanced towards the third line of defense of the German army.

3rd Company of the Supplementary Battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment of the German Army.

Now, Ernst Bleme - Lieutenant Wang Weiyi must face challenges from the British army with his soldiers!

B o'clock, 7:00 a.m.

The soldiers of the Third Company had heard that the enemy used a steel weapon on the battlefield, but they had no worries.

Because before this, Lieutenant Ernst had introduced the new type of war weapon that the British army would use before before to the soldiers of the Third Company, and told them how to stop the damn monsters from advancing.

The sound of cannons, gunshots, and explosions were heard, and fierce fighting was everywhere, including the position of the Third Company.

"Attack, attack! The enemy attack!" Sergeant Hall, who was the first to discover the British, shouted loudly.

"Enter the position and prepare for battle!"

Under Wang Weiyi's loud call, all the soldiers entered their combat posts.

Those damn British people, let them come, the brave and fearless German soldiers are waiting for them.

The Maxim heavy machine gun was staring at the opposite side with a fierce look. Sean, Beverly, and Eck breathed a little heavy because of the "master" of these three MG08 type Maxim heavy machine guns.

Let those damn British people come, and they will soon learn how powerful they are!

Wang Weiyi found that he was also a little nervous. This was his first positional battle. It would be fake to say that he was not nervous.

A large group of British people appeared, Wang Weiyi licked his lips, and then made a gesture. The gun in the German soldier raised up.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

This is the almost cursed voice made by Adolf Hitler beside him.

Wang Weiyi smiled unknown.

The enemy is getting closer...

"Kill them!"

With Wang Weiyi's roar, his hand also fell down.

The light and heavy weapons on the position opened fire together.

In an instant, with Maxim's roar, the British fell down like harvesting wheat. The British, who were suddenly attacked, fell to the ground in panic.

The German gunshots immediately became sparse.

These well-trained soldiers will never waste their bullets easily, Wang Weiyi exclaimed in his heart.

Maybe I felt that there would be no future when I lay down like this. After a while, the British people got up from the ground one after another.

At first glance, the enemies are densely packed with enemies. What a good target.

The first thing that sounded was the submachine gun in Wang Weiyi's hand. He saw a British soldier hitting and fell down in pain, covering his chest.

He also saw the British soldier struggling in a pool of blood, grabbing his throat with his hands, as if he was about to exhale something, but he was powerless. In just one second, he died.

In fact, all the soldiers, whether German or British, were not wrong in this war, they were fighting to achieve the goals of those politicians.

Boncrerere's marksmanship is extremely accurate. The Mauser rifle seems to have life in his hands. Bullets can always find enemies automatically, almost one shot.

Wang Weiyi found that Boncrerere's expression was very serious, as if he was doing something very sacred. And after every time he knocked down an enemy, he would always say something in his mouth.

Afterwards, Wang Weiyi asked Boncrerere, and the outstanding sharpshooter told him that he was praying for the enemy who fell under the gun.

What a brave and lovely soldier.

Sean, the main shooter of heavy machine gun, was completely different. He poured bullets into pieces to the enemy without hesitation, while cursing them.

It is said that Sean will become a lunatic when he comes to the battle, and this is true.

Adolf Hitler looked at Wang Weiyi, and he seemed to be shooting the gun with his eyes closed. It seemed that he still couldn't get rid of his nervousness.

The bullets ruthlessly hit the enemy, and the enemy fell in large numbers. In front of the position, it turned into a terrible meat grinder, ruthlessly dragging the lives one by one and then crushing them.

This is the most real and terrifying battlefield!

The British obviously couldn't hold on anymore. At this moment, a roar suddenly came from behind them, and then the British soldiers consciously flashed to both sides.

Wang Weiyi looked at that, then shouted:
Chapter completed!
