"Otto!" After observing the high ground for a while, Major General Alan said to the staff: "It's time for them to play their role by giving the coordinates to the artillery and the air force!"

"Yes, sir!"

With a call, the sky quickly whistled the roar of shells, and the shells exploded radiant dust and smoke on the top positions and the front slopes of the highlands, plowing back and forth several times and exploding for ten minutes.

Then twelve bombers descended from the sky with the roar of motors and dropped a row of bombs on the back slope.

Such a bombing intensity was a bit cold for the US military, so Allen cursed when the cannon stopped: "Damn it, why stop? Let them continue bombing!"

"General!" the staff officer replied: "We are not sufficient ammunition, and they have to leave the shells to other troops!"

Allen knew this. The US military could only use one small port, which needed to serve the 2nd Armored Division, so the artillery shells could only be transported back and forth with transport boats, which allowed the US military to transport ashore and put into combat.

"Okay!" said Major General Allen: "It's time for us to take this high ground with the mortars ready for fire cover!"

After a mortar shell, Major General Alan sent a company of troops to attack the highlands.

Qin Chuan, who was looking down with a telescope on the top of the mountain, could hardly imagine this scene... These Americans actually sent only one company to take down this high ground!!

This fully shows that the British army did not tell the US military about the information, that is, how the Germans would use these mountainous areas to fight.

However, this does not seem surprising. From the perspective of the British, the greater the casualties of the American army on the battlefield and the worse the attack, the more beneficial it will be to Britain's international reputation, because they can tell people all over the world... Look, war is not as simple as you think, the performance of the British army is much better than that of the American army.

This is also one of the reasons why Montgomery left the attack direction with bad terrain and poor supply conditions to the US military. At the same time, Montgomery did not explain the details of the tunnel tactics to the US soldiers. What the US soldiers knew was only some verbal warnings from Eisenhower, a general who had never been on the battlefield or saw the tunnel.

Of course, the arrogant American soldiers would not take these verbal warnings to heart.

More importantly, Major General Alan has always been worried about the German Armored Division... Because he was worried about the armored division, when he encountered infantry and only dozens of scattered infantry positions on the top of the mountain, he naturally relaxed his psychology, thinking that they were just "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" of the Germans, so he naturally felt that he was underestimating the enemy.

This was beyond Qin Chuan's expectations. He asked the armored division to hide just to allow the armored division to launch a counterattack at a critical moment, but he did not expect that it would play a certain role in the Allied forces... Several Allied troops, including the British, were worried that the German armored division would suddenly appear in front of them.

The result is that everyone has a sense of gratitude and underestimation when encountering German infantry.

"Put the enemy closer before you fight!" Qin Chuan ordered: "Don't let anyone go!"

"Yes, Captain!" Kuhn responded, and then conveyed Qin Chuan's order.

Qin Chuan immediately took his rifle and observed the group of American soldiers through the scope.

Although the US military has no combat experience, their tactics are still quite practical on the battlefield... This is mainly due to the fact that the United States is a powerful industrial and technological power. Once the country is strong, the next thing to consider is the people-oriented issue, that is, how they will think about how to minimize casualties on the battlefield.

Of course, the army of any country will consider this issue. But some countries are wrong in their consideration, such as France's absolute defense theory, Soviet human sea tactics theory, Britain and Japan's decisive battle tactics theory, etc.

Needless to say, France's absolute defense theory proved to be a joke from the beginning, and France also paid a heavy price for this wrong theory.

The Soviet Union's human sea tactics cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said to have certain value to countries like the Soviet Union during World War II.

The theory of decisive battle between Britain and Japan is that as long as the enemy and us win a key battle in the battle, they can force the other party to the negotiating table and win the final victory. This is essentially the idea of ​​World War I. Therefore, Japan often achieved tactical victory in World War II but completely failed in strategy.

Obviously, these are relatively weak tactical theories.

Looking at the entire World War II, only two countries actually have relatively advanced tactics.

One of the things that is unscrupulous is Germany... It almost covers all modern advanced tactical theories, such as armor tactics, special operations, etc.

Even modern sea, land and air coordination tactics actually originate from Germany's "blitz warfare"... "blitz warfare" requires armored troops to have a high degree of coordination with intelligence collection, air reconnaissance, infantry, paratroopers, etc.

The United States uses the theory of "advantage firepower". Simply put, it is to use superior firepower to suppress the other party, so that it can achieve the greatest result with the minimum casualties.

Therefore, the United States pays more attention to individual rifle firepower and logistics transportation... "Advantage firepower" can almost be said to be piled up by bullets and artillery shells. Once the logistics cannot keep up with the US military, they can only be slaughtered. This is also the reason why the volunteers retreat immediately on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

At this time, the US military in front of Qin Chuan had insufficient logistics. Although they were holding M1 semi-automatic rifles, the individual firepower was much stronger than that of the Germans.

The US company was divided into several parts, covering each other and leaping towards the high ground... Compared to the British army, their formation was more scattered.

This actually conforms to their respective equipment characteristics: when fighting, the unit firepower is paid attention to. The British "Enfield" rifle fires not as fast as the "M1 Garland" rifle, so British soldiers need more people to form enough firepower to strike the enemy in unit area, while the US military can be more dispersed to reduce possible casualties.

Kuhn might have noticed this too. He looked at Qin Chuan and whispered: "This is a test for marksmanship!"

Kuhn is right. If the firepower is not as good as the US military, the bullets fired by the soldiers are required to be accurate enough.
