The staff officer dared not wake up Montgomery because he had learned the lessons before.

On his first day of office, Montgomery fell asleep early after a busy day.

Before dawn the next morning, he was woken up politely by a staff officer.

Montgomery immediately got angry: "Who gave you the right to disturb the commander of the army to rest?"

The staff officer couldn't help but be stunned.

"General!" replied the staff officer: "General Ochinlek ordered us to notify him at any time when there was any situation!"

"I'm not Ochinlek!" Montgomery said: "Go and tell all the staff members, if there is anything to ask General De Gungang, and he will choose whether to report to me!"

The same thing, if it happens in China, it will mostly be labeled as "bureaucratic".

But the explanation for Montgomery is that the commander needs to get enough rest so that he can ensure a clear mind and make correct judgments.

This cannot be said that Montgomery is wrong, but this idea is more suitable for a white-collar worker who checks in at the company on time, rather than a group army commander... because war and fighter planes are not waiting for people and there is no such saying "on time".

Dalei waited for half an hour, and the staff officer finally waited until Montgomery got up, so he hurriedly handed over the documents.

"General!" said the staff report: "The Germans arranged snipers on the front line!"

Montgomery couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Can General Guergon solve this problem?"

Montgomery has always handed over specific tactical issues to his subordinates to complete, and he himself was in charge of the headquarters and only implemented strategic command.

In his opinion, the sniper problem is a tactical problem rather than a strategic problem.

"No, General!" the staff officer replied: "It was General Gangang who asked me to hand over this document to you!"

Montgomery got up and put on her coat, took off the beret from the shelf and put it on her head, and straightened it in front of the mirror... This beret is unique to Montgomery, with two hat badges on it, so it is called the "double emblem beret".

Then Montgomery took the documents from the staff and walked towards the command center while looking through.

Montgomery frowned on the way, realizing that the battle was not just a problem with a few snipers as he had imagined.

"General!" DeGuangan, who was busy, saw Montgomery as if he had seen a savior.

"How many people have we lost?" Montgomery asked.

"There are about 200 people so far!" De Gangan replied: "Although the casualties are not large, the front-line soldiers are under great psychological pressure. They can only stay in the trenches and cannot do any work outside the trenches!"

"How many snipers did the Germans send?" Montgomery asked again.

"We have no way to know!" De Gangan replied: "We are helpless with them, using tanks, cannons, and planes... We have all these things, the problem is that we don't know where he is hiding!"

After thinking about it, Montgomery said, "Then let the soldiers stay in the trenches!"

"What?" Degangang was stunned when he heard this.

"The Germans' purpose is to consume our ammunition!" Montgomery said: "so that they can gain more preparation time!"

Degangang couldn't help but nodded when he heard this: "So, we should not waste our ammunition on them, but should accumulate as much ammunition as possible!"

"Yes!" said Montgomery: "Don't pay attention to the Germans, even if they're outside to bask in the sun!"

It should be said that Montgomery is more accurate in looking at problems in the general direction, so sometimes people cannot be bothered by too many small things, which will make them fall into it and not see what is really important.

Just like now, Montgomery's idea is actually very correct. Let the earth shake, I remain unmoved. It also means "to remain unchanged" in Chinese military art... As long as the British soldiers hide and hide well, what can the German snipers do to them?

Charge towards the British position? This is obviously what the British army hopes.

As for the occasional number of soldiers who were accidentally killed by the German army... it would not have any impact on the outcome of the battle, so it was strategically insignificant.

But Montgomery obviously underestimated the German tactics.

When the sky gradually darkened, the sniper team retreated to the army along the same route.

It is really not easy to lurk in one day. Many soldiers pull their feces and urine in their pants... Everyone knows that they should clear their stomachs before leaving, but this thing is not something that can be cleared just by trying to.

On the other hand, the tension on the real battlefield is not comparable to exercises and training, which makes at least half of the soldiers be carried onto the car after climbing out of the British army's observation range.

However, their hard work was worth it. After returning to the count, they killed at least 212 British troops at the cost of fifteen.

And this does not mean the end.

The German sniper's daytime sniper actually has the function of opening up channels and reconnaissance... The lurking point is only more than 400 meters away from the enemy's defense line, which means that the mine clearance has been laid in front of the enemy's defense line.

Of course, only the Germans themselves knew about this passage.

At the same time, the sniper will also record the detailed information on the front line, such as the location of the barbed wire, the direction of the trench, how many troops are, etc.

Then when the sniper returned, the German commando followed the passage opened by the sniper.

The map drawn by the sniper was so detailed that the commando went deep into the minefield like an old horse who knew the way and came to the enemy's defense line and prepared for combat.

At this time, the British army was exhausted by German snipers during the day, and finally relaxed at night, so they all slept in the trenches.

At this time, the German army suddenly launched an attack.

They could have touched the British trenches, but this seemed not a good idea in the dark, because it would cause chaos and the Germans themselves could not recognize our enemies.

And they didn't need to do this. They had 50MM mortars in their hands, which had a range of 300 meters and had a very fast firing rate. In a "tumbling" round, a string of mortar shells were shot into the British trenches.

Then the German soldiers who had touched the trench threw out another round of grenades, blew the trench hard for a while, and immediately retreated...

Their purpose was not to occupy the position, nor to break through the British defense line, so they did not launch a charge.

Of course, this is also due to the lack of German troops. As mentioned earlier, it is not cost-effective to exchange German soldiers for British soldiers.
