Because barbed wire made an obsticle to movement. Clothing & equipment would become entangled and need to be freed to allow attacking forces to get to grips with the enemy. If a Russian got caught in the barbed wire he would most likely scream, so they would know he was there. Warfare had changed since the Generals were in Staff College and the Artillery Shell and the Machine Gun reaped terrible harvests. I'm not suggesting that artillery & machine guns were new to warfare, they were not, just that their improvement was unrecognised or appreciated. The idea of charging across no mans land armed with nothing but a bayonet. well, someone thought it was a viable prospect, but then he sat on a horse & drank brandy and thought himself important. One backfire to it was that if a rabbit or other small creature got stuck and started to screech they would blow it to shreds for no reason, therefore wasting their ammo. The soldiers would tell the commander of general that "They got bored after 4 days with nothing to shoot"
