A creeping barrage is a military tactic used primarily in artillery warfare where a wall of artillery fire moves forward in a coordinated manner just ahead of advancing infantry. This tactic aimed to provide cover for troops as they moved towards enemy positions, reducing the chance of being targeted by enemy fire and allowing for more effective assaults. Its effectiveness was prominently seen in major battles where trench warfare dominated, influencing strategies and outcomes.
