Chapter 762: The Crazy Gafian

Even if the casualties are larger, but try to take the Bowa military fortress, otherwise, they will completely lose this war, and then don't expect the Daheng Empire to completely penetrate into the southwest continent.

Coupled with the strength of Gafia's participation in the battle, the front-line troops plus the reserve troops in the rear, the total strength is nearly 200,000 people, and the top brass of the Gafia Empire believes that there is still hope for the army troops to take Beauva, of course, the casualties may be very large.

But there is no immortal in war!

So, just the next day, a telegram from the mainland of the Gafia Empire was delivered to Admiral Haldan, and Admiral Haldane couldn't help but curse when he saw the order urging him to continue the attack and take the Bois fortress.

Although domestic telegrams say that more ammunition has been mobilized, more reinforcements are also being prepared.

But it is obvious that those people in China obviously want to use the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers of their Third Army in exchange for diplomatic bargaining chips!

But can he refuse?

No!

Those bigwigs in the country only saw 10,000 dead and wounded, obviously they didn't look at it, but what if 40,000 or 50,000 or even 70,000 or 80,000 people were killed or injured?

Admiral Haldane couldn't help but think so pessimistically, maybe then they would really wake up, pure human life could not overcome such a steel barrier as Beauvois Fortress, right?

Perhaps, when the time comes, he will become the eternal sinner of the empire, right?

Reluctantly and angry, Admiral Haldane gave the order to attack again.

The battle of Beauvois continued, and although Admiral Haldane had taken all the measures he could, the offensive was still unsuccessful, and in order to make progress, especially the capture of the three hilltop fortresses, they continued to attack at the cost of casualties, but their casualties did not yield any tangible results.

The three hilltop fortresses of the Beauvois Fortress are still under the control of the defenders!

On the fifth day after the offensive was launched, when the number of casualties had exceeded 30,000, the front-line generals of many units had already begun to carry out passive attacks openly and covertly.

Because the way they are attacking now has nothing to do but kill and injure more people themselves.

Although they are also loyal and patriotic, and are willing to sacrifice for the Gafia Empire, it is definitely not such a meaningless sacrifice.

In the face of heavy pressure from the country and the rebound of the generals under his command, General Haldane is also a single!

On the sixth day of the third general offensive, he submitted a request to the country for the fourth time to suspend the offensive, at least until the arrival of the country's increased heavy artillery units before attacking, but after the country rejected his request, General Haldane also submitted his resignation without hesitation!

The offensive can continue, but he, Haldane, is unwilling to act as a scapegoat for the death and wounding of a large number of soldiers!

When the group commanders in charge of the general attack were forced to submit their resignations, this also shocked the local high-level of the Gafia Empire!

The shock was followed by anger, they rejected his resignation, and at the same time dismissed Haldane from his position, transferred him directly to the reserves, and there were even voices within him that they would send him to a military tribunal in the name of dereliction of duty, desertion, etc.

In short, Colonel Haldane, no longer the commander of the Third Army.

Subsequently, the top brass of the Gafia Empire transferred another general to serve as the commander of the Third Army.

The person who was able to come over at this time to serve as the commander of the Third Army was naturally a general who was inclined to a strong attack chosen by the top leadership, and this person was General Molz.

Before they had even arrived in Beauvois, they had already ordered their troops to prepare for the next round of attacks.

As soon as the people arrived in Bova by train, they had already launched their fifth general attack!

This time, the fight was even worse!

Countless Gaphians were slain by cannonballs and bullets at the urging of the rear overseers!

Often after more than half of the attacking troops were killed or wounded, they were still forced by the overseers to continue to charge forward, and finally continued to charge in despair, continued to die, and in the end, the attacking Gafia soldiers all stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades and continued to advance, because the ground was full of corpses, and there was no open space for them to stay.

This kind of onslaught, the way of attacking without taking one's own life as one's own life, also shocked Dahengren!

When it comes to the brutality of war, the first instinct of the Blue Star people is often the Great Heng people.

But today the people of Daheng found that these Gaphians on the other side were even crazier than themselves!

The madness of their Daheng people is generally external, rather than treating their own people, and this kind of external brutality is actually more reflected outside the battlefield......

Fighting on the battlefield, in fact, the people of Daheng rarely engage in any death charge, and generally use absolute numerical superiority or firepower superiority, and the absolute superiority of the enemy that cannot resist to push the enemy.

In the Hengao War, the reason why the Great Heng Empire sent more than one million army units to the Southern Continent to fight was to gain numerical superiority.

In this battle of Bova, the reason why more than 600 of the latest heavy machine guns and countless heavy artillery pieces were mobilized to the Bova military base was to gain firepower superiority.

However, the people of Daheng traditionally, except for a few extreme cases, rarely engage in this kind of death charge.

However, these Gaphians really dared to use dense heavy machine gun fire to force their troops to rush forward, and after one regiment died, another regiment would go up, so that the charging road was covered with the corpses of Gafian soldiers.

This scene even worried Mei Zixiao, so many corpses were piled up outside, I was afraid that a large-scale plague would break out!

For this reason, he urgently notified the rear and asked them to quickly gather a batch of epidemic prevention materials, and the position was held, but in the end, a large-scale plague broke out.

As for whether the position could be held, he was not worried about it.

With the strong defensive facilities and intensive firepower of the Beauva fortress, the other side wants to conquer the Beauva military base, there are only two ways, the first is to mobilize enough large-caliber heavy artillery, not the kind of 75 mm caliber, 100 mm, 120 mm caliber artillery, at the most 150 mm caliber artillery.

And even artillery of this caliber can't actually pry open the cement-reinforced fortresses of the three major fortresses!

If you want to pry open the strong defenses of the three fortresses, you have to have at least heavy artillery of more than 200 mm, and even if you want to be more effective, you have to have heavy artillery of more than 300 mm caliber.

However, the reason why the fortress of Beauva is difficult to conquer is not only that the three main fortresses are strong enough, but also because the terrain facing the land is gentle and open, and the view is good, which is very conducive to long-range artillery bombardment by the defenders.

The long-range heavy artillery on the three fortresses can be guided by high-altitude balloons and shell any target.
