At a distance of 150 to 400 meters, the firepower of the STG44 is still reliable, and its fierce rate of fire makes it difficult for French soldiers carrying the M1916 rifle to lift their heads. Often, a German soldier with an STG44 assault rifle can suppress a platoon of French soldiers, neutralizing the numerical advantage of the French. At this distance, the French suffered heavy casualties.
Despite the scattered formation of these seasoned soldiers launching the attack, they left behind hundreds of bodies and bloodstained the ground on the way to the mountaintop. If it were an ordinary army, it would have retreated long ago. However, the forces attacking here today are the 47th Infantry Division of France, also known as the " Blue Division."
They are the elite forces of the French Army, known as the Mountain Infantry Division during World War I. This unit is highly combat-effective, well-equipped, and possesses high morale, having achieved numerous feats. They fight bravely and often endure significant casualties without retreating.
If the entire Blue Division were to be deployed to this battlefield, then The Third Platoon would definitely not be able to withstand it. However, the French people did not believe that such a small hill required the commitment of so many elite troops, so they sent only a Mountain Infantry Camp as a reserve to support the attack of the France Infantry Regiment. Normally, under usual circumstances, this Mountain Infantry Camp would not need to participate in the offensive.
Because the confident commander of the infantry regiment responsible for the attack believed that they would easily take this position, as this battlefield was not the first one attacked by France after its recovery. More battles fought earlier have already ended, and the determined French people repelled the defensive forces of the German army. Although there were considerable casualties, they were still within an acceptable range.
According to the information provided by friendly forces, the German army in the Baden area has been pushed back several kilometers, and the flanks of The Third Platoon have been exposed. The French military headquarters assesses that the German army will not hold their position here, and the National Defense Forces The First Infantry Division has indeed issued a retreat order for the fourth infantry regiment dispatched by the General Staff Headquarters. However, the company commander of The Third Platoon believes that the terrain here is very favorable for defense, and has requested permission from higher-ups to inflict significant damage on the German army before retreating.
Another reason is that The Third Platoon has not yet engaged with the enemy. It is truly difficult to accept retreating in the first battle.
After considering, the commander of The Fourth Corps agreed to this request. He believes that with the equipment level of The Third Platoon, resisting enemies several times their number should not be a problem, and it will also help accumulate combat experience.
The later the war, the more intense it becomes, so it's good to improve the combat experience of the troops as soon as possible.
He still insisted that The Third Platoon should hold the position for a maximum of 24 hours and then retreat. Because their flanks were very weak, if French people deployed their forces to launch an attack, the situation of The Third Platoon would be very dangerous. The French Army did consider this, but they believed that they would not encounter strong resistance here, so they did not send out troops to flank.
The prolonged attack by the French Army at this location has alarmed the Superior Command Headquarters. They plan to send out more troops to besiege this place tomorrow, on the condition that the French Army fails to capture it again.
In short, neither the French nor the German side anticipated encountering elite enemy forces here, and they were confident in their ability to easily achieve their objectives.
After the casualty reports from the current four rounds of attacks were compiled, both the French Army and the German army were shocked, as the numbers far exceeded their expectations.
However, neither side has any intention of retreating. As elite forces, they each have their own pride and will not back down until the last person falls. Therefore, in the fifth and final round of the attack, the French Army has deployed all available personnel for combat.
After firing all the shells they carried, the French Army launched an assault. These battle-hardened veterans bravely advanced against the gunfire of the STG44 assault rifles and ultimately approached the position near the top of the mountain. With the support of the French Army's artillery, the Third Platoon was unable to maintain continuous fire suppression, allowing the French Army's Mountain Infantry Camp to successfully close in within fifty meters of the mountain position.
At this distance, the submachine guns could already be used effectively. The soldiers of the French Mountain Infantry Battalion pulled out their M1918 Chauchat submachine guns and exchanged fire with the National Defense Forces. Although this submachine gun was poorly designed, had terrible accuracy, and significant recoil, at least its firepower was assured. Within 50 meters, submachine guns always had an advantage in firepower over assault rifles, so the French Army finally dared to engage in mutual fire with the German Army.
In the past, this distance has been constantly suppressed and oppressed by the German army. The French people, who have been feeling suffocated for a long time, saw a glimmer of hope and charged forward like they had been injected with chicken blood.
The first French soldiers charged into the German army's trench, followed by more soldiers.
"Damn it, there are too many French people, we can't kill them all no matter how much we kill."
Ralph was firing his weapon while shouting at his company commander, "When will our reinforcements arrive? If we keep fighting like this, we will be wiped out sooner or later. We must retreat!"
"We cannot retreat! The Third Platoon is not weak. We must not step back until we receive the retreat order from our superiors!"
company commander emptied the magazine of his assault rifle, then fiercely swung the gun at the oncoming French people before pulling out a Walther P38 pistol to shoot at them.
"I've already requested support from General Staff Headquarters, we must hold our ground here until reinforcements arrive!"
"Damn it, if the reinforcements don't come, I'll kill the battalion commander's mother!"
Ralph said fiercely, as he took a grenade from his belt, removed the safety pin, and forcefully threw it towards a position occupied by French Army soldiers. The grenade traced a beautiful arc and bounced a few times on the ground before smoothly landing in the French people's position. There were some curses from inside, followed by a "boom" as a huge blast erupted from the position.
Countless soil rose into the sky, then fell to the ground, and finally returned to calm. "You are really ruthless." company commander looked at the pit and admired Ralph's courage. At least one French Army infantry platoon was wiped out there.
Ralph is a grenade thrown using the method of delayed throwing, so the French people inside have no chance to react, whether it's escaping the blast range or throwing the grenade out.
"It's a piece of cake."
Ralph didn't feel anything special, he had used similar operations many times in World War I, and this time was no different from the past.
"Hey, where's Jürgen?"
Ralph suddenly remembered that he didn't know where his brother had gone. He had been so busy with the battle that he had forgotten to keep track of Jürgen's whereabouts.
"I don't know either. The battle was too intense just now, and I didn't notice where this guy went."
company commander shrugged and said, "Forget it, we'll go find him after we finish off the French people. If he's dead, it's his own problem! I told him to follow me!" Ralph said fiercely, but he quickly reloaded his rifle and charged towards other positions captured by the French Army.
The resistance of the German army is very strong, and their ability in close combat is also very good because they are equipped with M24 hand grenades and entrenching shovels. These weapons are not very useful in long-range shooting, but they perform very well in the trenches. The French people were horrified to find that even their proud hand-to-hand combat was difficult to gain the upper hand when facing the Germans.
If it weren't for the numerical advantage, the French Army would probably have been driven out of the trench. The fighting was so intense that both sides ran out of ammunition for their guns and resorted to using cold weapons to hack at each other, with some even using their teeth and fists. Despite this being a war after the 1928 Industrial Revolution, the more intense the situation became, the simpler the nature of the fighting, which was to use all means to eliminate the enemy in front of them.
Regardless of whether it's small arms or cold weapons, or a certain organ of the human body, they are just tools to achieve this purpose.
Ralph smashed the heads of the French soldiers in front of him with an entrenching shovel, then turned around and gave a big slap to the French soldier who wanted to ambush him, leaving him dizzy. Ralph then kicked him, knocking the French person to the ground, and proceeded to sit on top of him, squeezing his neck.
Until the other person stopped struggling and foaming at the mouth, Ralph finally let go and lay on the ground, gasping for breath. Despite his bravery, Ralph felt exhausted, unable to remember how many French soldiers he had taken down. His entrenching shovel had just broken in half, and all his weapons were depleted.
He is only relying on his powerful body to eliminate the French people, even his fists are bleeding, there may be enemies, and there may be his own.
"I'm really tired!"
Ralph felt his eyelids fighting each other up and down. He had been fighting since early morning until near dusk, with only a short rest in between. Such intense physical activity is very exhausting for a soldier.
Ralph struggled to keep himself from falling asleep, as he could still hear a lot of gunfire and cursing. He knew the battle was not over yet. Ralph tried to stand up, but his movement suddenly stopped as he saw a French soldier appear from around the corner of the trench, holding a Mauser 98k rifle that he must have just taken from a German army soldier. The soldier aimed the rifle at Ralph.
Ralph had no intention of dodging. Firstly, he was too weak to do so, and secondly, in the narrow trench without any cover, the distance was so close that even a pig's head could be hit, let alone the elite soldiers of the French Army, although Ralph didn't know that. "Come on! Bastard! Shoot at your grandpa," Ralph laughed. At this moment, he didn't feel much fear in his heart, because all he wanted now was to lie down and take a nap. If he died, he should still be able to achieve the above goal.
"Go to hell, German people!"
Although the French soldiers across from him didn't understand what Ralph was saying, they also had no intention of capturing Ralph.
At this point in the battle, both sides only wanted to eliminate all enemies and had no intention of taking prisoners.
Ralph Close your eyes and accept your fate calmly.
"Bang!"
The 98K fired.
