347 What confusion this is
Viscount Alan will never forget today's scene for the rest of his life, it is obviously a classic infantry assault battle that has been stinky in the military academy, how can it be fought back and forth into a stinky mud pond?
At the beginning, even if the more than 200 enemy firepower in the foxhole was dense and the explosives were ferocious, but in that round of conflict, the first regiment actually lost less than 200 men, which was not a wound at all, and at that time, the closest distance between the assault regiment and the trench was not even 80 meters.
Eighty meters, not eight hundred meters, not eight thousand meters, for the running legion is only a dozen seconds, Viscount Alan has even imagined in advance the scene of the legion breaking into the enemy formation, and the Chinese wolf bèi escaped.
There are only two battalions on the high ground, and there is only one regiment of his own, even if he reduces the number of troops by 200, he will still have an advantage in strength. But no one expected that at the most critical moment, the enemy would dare to counterattack.
"Crazy, all crazy, since they decided to counter-charge, then why do they dig trenches?
Well, now that Viscount Alain had fallen into a state of paranoia, he could not think of any other reason to explain the current situation. In fact, there is really no good reason to explain, even Xiao Lotian can't give him an accurate answer, and it can't be said that my soldiers are out of control for a while, and they charge without a military order.
Well, the counter-charge is the counter-charge, Viscount Alan still thinks that he will win, the advantage in numbers is obvious, the high proportion of veterans of the Thorn Flower Division is obvious, if there are more people and fewer people, the veterans can still lose when they fight the recruits, and Alan is afraid that he will not have the face to mix in the military world in his life.
Alan was wrong, this mistake was stricter than when he chose to charge blindly at the beginning, he really overestimated the strength of his own side, and at the same time underestimated the combat effectiveness of Xiao Letian's two mixed battalions.
No one would have thought that Xiao Letian's mixed battalion would all popularize the new Mauser rifle, and people would never have imagined that there was still a group of soldiers in the Middle Ages hidden in this army.
Despicable, shameless... In the scuffle, the rifles in the hands of the Austrian soldiers could only be used as bayonet racks, and no one could reload ammunition from the muzzle of the guns in the face-to-face fight.
But the Mauser rifle could, the soldier pulled the bolt of the rifle flat and loaded the bullet, and the next bullet could not be shot like a sugar gourd to kill two or three Austrian soldiers.
This despicable tactic was vividly used in the hands of Steven, Daniel and Grant, the three violators who broke out of the trenches first, were not fanatical and reckless, and the three of them worked together very tacitly.
Steven and Daniel held off the enemy's attack with two bayonets, and Grant's bayonet stabbed the enemy in the chest at the most tricky angle with a flash of cold light. Or simply pull the bolt and pull the trigger, a bullet can definitely hit the enemy through one.
At this time, the Austrian army tasted the evil consequences of attaching importance to artillery and despising muskets, and the front-loading gun and the rear-loading gun seemed to be only one word difference, but they were two epoch-making different weapons, and the difference of one word could completely change the style of army operations. With such a huge technical difference, it is no wonder that the Austrians do not suffer.
The time taken for the front-loading gun to fire once is enough for the rear-loading gun to shoot three or four times in a row, and the front-loading gun must ensure that the muzzle of the gun can be charged before it can be loaded.
It wasn't just the disparity in weapons that was painful, all the Austrians were stunned when the Foreign Legion slashed at it. This is the middle of the 19th century, muskets have been popularized in the army for 200 years, and now in addition to the barbarian peoples, there are also European countries that can play this kind of cold weapon battle array.
But no matter how backward the tactics are, there is also a place for them, and now the chaotic battlefield has created the best fighter for the sword drawing team, and when the musket has failed, the sword is much better than the bayonet.
"Stabilize the formation and slowly press through...... Disperse them and let them collapse...... "The group of Japanese samurai pressed towards the south step by step, during which three waves of Austrian troops tried to raid without success, and fifteen minutes later, the Austrian troops on the west side of the battlefield could not bear such a brutal killing, and the battle formation collapsed instantly.
"Bastard, are you all pigs? Don't you claim to be veterans? Resist me and rush back......" Viscount Alain is now crying, and it has only been more than half an hour since he entered the battle, and his own soldiers have actually retreated like an avalanche.
Morale is sometimes really delicate, when everyone fights to the death, it seems that everyone will forget that they can save their lives by running away, but only one person around them chooses to flee, and the little persistence in the hearts of others may not last even half a second.
"Damn, what kind of bullshit battle is this, I won't wait...... Countless Austrians followed the steps of the fugitives and turned away, and no one looked back, even though countless officers shouted around.
"Collapsed, the enemy collapsed...... Hooray..."The morale of the brothers in the task force suddenly skyrocketed, and their combat effectiveness doubled out of thin air.
None of the Hamburg recruits could have imagined that the battle would go so smoothly and that an integrated regiment of the invincible Austrian army would be routed in half an hour?
"Hahaha, this group of rabbits is quite fast, I knew it was so easy to fight, what kind of bullshit trenches are we digging for......" Daniel wiped the blood from his face, and laughed almost out of breath, at this moment, Tian Cannon came out from behind him, and it was a big slap on the back of the head.
"Raw melons and eggs, as soon as you go to the battlefield, you dare to laugh at military orders? Do you know what it means to be called 'fierce soldiers and dangerous soldiers'? Forget it, this is the Chinese art of war, and you don't understand it...... I'm cāo, you look south, what's that?"
Tian Cannon stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, at this time, at the end of people's sight, they suddenly found some shadowy black shadows hidden in the debris, and before people could tell it, they heard a muffled thunder in the distance.
Boom Boom Boom ...... In the midst of the muffled thunder, there was a faint light of fire.
"It's the artillery company, our artillery company has finally arrived......" The Austrian troops who struggled to escape for their lives were jubilant, only to see several black dots in the sky drawing white tracks swishing past, and a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose on the stone bridge heights.
At this time, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun were pressing the formation behind the charging team, and the position they were standing on was on the south side of the trench, and this time the artillery company salvo attacked the position behind the trench.
Boom, boom, the flowering bomb exploded behind them, and large pieces of dirt mixed with fragments flew around, Xiao Hexin was the closest to the explosion point, and the air wave directly knocked him and his own soldiers to the ground.
"Old Xiao ......" Sima Yun rushed over as soon as he saw it, dragging Xiao Hexin like a dead dog and hiding in a foxhole.
"Old Xiao...... Xiao Hexin... Don't scare me, don't scare me..."
In his desperate shaking, Xiao Hexin woke up with his head dangling, "What's the funeral, I'm fine... Hurry up and let the brothers continue to charge, stick together with the enemy, only the artillery of the melee enemy will not dare to bomb......" After speaking, Xiao Hexin pushed Sima Yun away, picked up his rifle and jumped out of the foxhole.
"Charge, everybody charge...... The battalion commander had already given the order to continue the charge and melee with the enemy...... "Countless heralds quickly interspersed through the melee, giving orders to every corner.
To say that this Gao Su zhì soldiers, the command is handy, the order into their ears, not even two seconds they already know the intention of this military order, in the face of artillery long-range fire strikes, for the sake of the future, only with the enemy strangulation, the formation of a situation of you and me can avoid casualties.
"Kill...... Charge...... Stick to the enemy...... "At this time, the ordinary soldiers of the mixed battalion, as well as the officers from the East, plus the Foreign Legion of the Knife Drawing Team, all abandoned the formation and rushed into the crowd like crazy to continue the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Viscount Alain was completely insane at this time, he did not expect that a salvo from the artillery company would infuriate the group of madmen even more, and instead of retreating, they became more and more crazy.
"Hold on, you pigs...... Turn around and fight them, you deserters...... Die to it, Viscount Alain even shot and killed one of the deserters who ran at the front.
"Guard Company...... Shoot, whoever runs away and kills again..."Under Alain's strong order, the guards raised their rifles and fired mercilessly at their robes.
Bang Bang Bang ...... The gunfire formed a line like a braid in the rushing crowd, perhaps because the soldiers of the guard company were grateful for their comrades, and this dense fire killed only three people and wounded more than a dozen, and most of the rest of the bullets were in the dirt and in the sky.
The damage was not large but very terrifying, and the deserters who were behind suddenly stopped their tracks, and hesitated to look back and forth. At this time, the noble Viscount Alain raised his white gloves and scolded angrily, "You pigs, see if you still look like Imperial soldiers, turn your head and fight me, do you want to go to a court-martial?"
The killing and the threat of the nobles made the Austrian soldiers have no choice, they can only hold their weapons and form a thin linear queue to turn around and walk towards the Prussian army, but before the Austrian army can gather 200 people in this wave of counterattack, the group of madmen wielding their knives and licking blood will rush towards them.
"Duck give...... Charge, charge, charge......"
Looking at this group of East Asian perverted murderers like blood gourds, the Austrian army, whose morale had already collapsed, turned around and dispersed without saying a word, and no longer cared about the threat of the guard company.
"Run... Expect to be killed by bullets, and I don't want to break the corpse into pieces... These are all demons that eat human flesh......" The crowd rushed back frantically, and before the guard company could open fire, it was rushed to pieces by the rout.
Alain burst into tears at this time, "How can there be such a war... I don't talk about it in the textbooks... Isn't this bullying, how can you be uneasy about the routine......"
At that moment, Viscount Alan trembled, and even the war horse under his crotch felt the uneasiness of his master, and he became restless.
