Grade Confrontation

"Can we choose the weapons here at will?" Chen Tian asked, looking at the various weapons in the warehouse.

"Of course!" the instructor on the side replied, "I'll remind you here that you'd better choose the right weapon according to your tactics."

"So what weapon did our opponent choose?"

"Well, I can't tell you." The instructor smiled and shook his head. "However, you can find a way to collect this information yourself."

Chen Tian turned to look at Thomas, the two smiled at each other, and Thomas ran away.

"Um..." Chen Tian thought for a while.

"We want two 6-pound infantry guns, six Maktin machine guns, 300 rifles, and 100 grenades."

"Grenade? Few people use this kind of stuff, so we have few stocks of grenades in our exercises, and we can give you up to 50."

"Also, how much we want!"

After Chen Tian was promoted to the third grade, the first thing was to participate in the annual exercise confrontation of the third and fourth grades, and the opponents were composed entirely of third and fourth grade students. In recent years, the Academy of Exercises will invite the Emperor and the General Staff to watch it, so everyone hopes to perform well before the emperor, especially the fourth graders who are about to graduate. Because of Chen Tian's outstanding performance before, he was selected as the commander by the third grade students. Just now, Chen Tian was taking them to the warehouse to collect the weapons used for the exercise.

There are 332 trainees in the third grade and 340 trainees in the fourth grade.

"I've already inquired." While Chen Tian and Ollie and several other students were studying the map of the exercise area, Thomas ran in with a happy face.

"Ok?"

"In the fourth grade, I chose six 6-pound infantry guns, two 12-pound infantry guns, and four Makqin machine guns." Thomaston paused, then said: "According to the college's records, the results of the last ten third-fourth grade confrontations It was a win and nine losses in the third grade, which is in absolute disadvantage."

"Oh! Thomas, thank you! Good job!" Chen Tian felt that Thomas was more and more talented in intelligence work.

"Okay! Then we arrange like this..." Chen Tian drew quickly on the map.

"Boom...Boom..."

Black smoke rose from the third grade positions. Although the shells used in the exercise had no shrapnel and the warhead was filled with less powerful black powder, it still made people feel the ground shaking.

"Unsurprisingly, it seems that the other party adopted the current "artillery duel" idea, focusing on the artillery to suppress our firepower." Chen Tian and most of the people were squatting in the deep trenches, leaving only a few people Observe through the periscope.

"Tell Orly that they will start to advance to the predetermined position!" Chen Tian called the liaison officer to arrange.

"Your Majesty, look! The fourth grade students have well implemented the excellent traditions of our Prussian army, and their artillery has completely suppressed the other party. It seems that they will soon start attacking!" Dean Feng Heng Duke Man said softly beside William II's ear.

"Not necessarily! Their opponent's artillery hasn't fired yet!" William II's eyes still did not leave his telescope. Until now he only saw one side desperately dumping the shells from the telescope, but the effect did not seem to be great. Because the trenches on the other side were dug deep, there were a few strange earthen bags in the middle of the trenches. "The tactics of the third grade students are very strange, but the firepower is hidden very well! Interesting!"

"Your Majesty! Only as far as I know, the third grade only has two 6-pound infantry artillery!"

"What? There are only two 6-pound guns? Their opponents not only have several 6-pound guns, but also two 12-pound guns. Are they, their commanders, a fool? Or are you deliberately equipped only with this Give them a firearm?" William II put down his telescope and looked at Duke Hengman in surprise.

"Your Majesty, the weapons are all freely chosen by them. We have no restrictions on the caliber and number of artillery. Moreover, the commander of the third grade student is your nephew, His Royal Highness Prince Gigi William!"

"Oh? It's him!" William II raised his binoculars again. "He seemed to be studying at the Königsberg Military Academy when he was 7 years old. This year is 16 years old! I haven't seen him for several years! He is here Okay!"

"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Prince is very smart and hardworking, and the courses are excellent. It's just a weird idea sometimes!"

"Oh... then let's see what card he will play today!"

In the distance, the fourth-grade students had stopped shelling, and the two hundred attacking troops had begun to form two echelons to prepare for the attack. In view of Chen Tian's masterpiece during the last exercise, they left a hundred people to protect the artillery position, and placed four heavy machine guns on the four corners of the artillery position.

"Everyone is ready!" At the order of Chen Tian, ​​the men in the trenches protruded their heads out of the trenches, raised their rifles to prepare for shooting, and the machine gunners in the four earth-covered bunkers also put heavy machine guns with good bullet belts.

The offensive queue was getting closer and closer to them, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air. When the distance is only 500 meters...

"Fire!"

The sound of the machine gun and rifle shooting cut through the silence before, and the attacking side also started running forward.

But when they were only 50 meters away from the trench, they found that there was a wide trench in front of the trench. Although it was not deep, they found that after entering the trench, they were suppressed and could not move-climbing out of the trench meant close exposure Under the opponent's muzzle, according to the rules of the exercise, they will immediately "die"!

"Quick, signal! Request our artillery to bombard each other's position!" The attacking commander hiding in the trench had to let the correspondent use a signal flare.

"Boom...Boom..."

But this time the black plume rose from the artillery position on the fourth grade side.

At the edge of the wood about 2 kilometers to the right of the artillery position, Ollie smiled. According to Chen Tian's plan, Orly and 50 other third-grade students took their only two infantry artillery and quietly circled into a wood on the right side of the opposing artillery position. In this direction, the opponent arranged two machine guns to prevent the opponent from sending troops to the artillery position from the woods. However, now two infantry artillery bombarded them at a long distance, and the machine gun was powerless.

"What's going on? Where did the other party attack us?" The artillery commander looked at the opponent's position with a telescope, but there was no smoke from the artillery or artillery fire, and their 6-pound artillery couldn't be further away. Attack yourself.

"Boom...Boom..."

The artillery position was again shelled, and this time someone finally found the smoke rising from the edge of the woods.

"Over there! They are in the wood on the right!"

"Quick! The artillery turns!" the artillery commander shouted loudly, but found that his position had become a mess.

"Quick, everyone rushed over with me!" In desperation, the commander had to raise a rifle and rushed over with dozens of soldiers left behind. Unfortunately, when they rushed halfway, the two machine guns brought by Ollie opened fire.

"Tap..."

When they rushed in front of Ollie from a distance of one thousand meters, they found Ollie was waiting for them with a smile. Even if they were not "deathed", they were waiting for only two infantry artillery that had already fired their shells, and their own artillery positions had been completely messed up.

The assault team of the fourth graders was still suppressed in the trenches, and then dozens of grenades were thrown from the trenches on the side of Chentian, "blasting" them with paint, and countless "dead"...

According to the judgment of the exercise referee, the third grade party won, with less than 50 casualties. 90% of the fourth grade party was eliminated and the rest were captured.

William II put down the binoculars, nodded, called the bodyguard, and ordered, "Go and tell the prince, I will have dinner with him today!"
