Fortunately, the British did not have many heavy guns, and the gun carriages were also old-fashioned frame mounts, and after the loss of 3 75mm guns, 1 75mm gun and 2 57mm guns on the right flank of the Boers finally escaped from the enemy's coverage area. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut in a short period of time, it is almost impossible to fight back!

It was not only the rapid-fire artillery positions in the rear that were at fault, but also the front line of defense that was attacked by the British forward artillery, and the direct fire of the 3-pounder and 6-pounder guns greatly supported the infantry in the battle, destroying the frontal obstacles and suppressing the machine guns that spat deadly fire snakes.

Artillery is artillery after all, and just one shell can send a machine gun team that is not very well protected into the sky! Although the Boers considered the threat of shelling, the British still managed to knock out several machine guns from a defensive line, and a huge gap was presented in front of the British!

"Charge!" A British officer raised his revolver and jumped out of the trench with his head in the lead! Sporadic mortar shells and machine-gun fire in the distance were no longer enough to stop the attack of thousands of people! But a distance of 500 meters is a matter of 2 minutes for a strong soldier!

When the artillery cleared the obstacles, the British soldiers rushed forward with shouts, the bayonets on the Lee Enfield rifles shone with a shivering cold light in the sun, and the brilliance jumped on the sharp blades, giving a bloodthirsty impulse, they had waited too long for this moment, hatred and victory had brought the morale of the British to the peak! They ignored the guns and bullets on the opposite side and rushed bravely!

Most of the machine guns had been suppressed, and at a breach less than 30 meters wide, a thin line of 40 Boer soldiers blocked the way of the British, and 40 semi-automatic rifles with 20 large magazines formed a dense net of fire in front of the British! Accompanied by brass eggshells being thrown. Dense bullets flew towards the charging British like locusts, and blood flowers continued to explode in the British formation, and the huge kinetic energy of the bullets nailed the hapless soldiers to the ground.

The power of semi-automatic weapons was fully displayed at this moment, and with nearly a platoon of gunners taking turns firing, the British rushed almost on the blood of their comrades for the last 200 meters! Some of the Britons stopped and tried to return fire, but they became better targets, and in a matter of seconds, the Britons had just loaded a bullet before they could pull the trigger before they were hit by several bullets from the opposite side. Most of them chose to continue the charge, numbing themselves with courage, and leaving the decision between life and death to the God they believed in! Relying on a huge numerical advantage, after paying nearly 3 times as many casualties, the British finally rushed into the trenches.

The sound of bayonets slashing to the bone, the roars of the dying, and the roar of guns resounded throughout the front, and a flood of British infantry rushed through the line, crushing the resistance of the Boers with bullets and bayonets. The first line of defense has been torn apart and extends to both sides.

"Die, devil!" A Boer with a cut in the stomach tried his last strength to rush towards the British army on the opposite side, when the other party's bayonet pierced his lungs, the two grenades in his hand were also pulled away, the Boer smiled and looked at the British and his companions in front of him, closed his eyes quietly, and with a dull explosion, the five British soldiers around him were blown to pieces!

The entire front line turned into a huge meat grinder, and in order to survive, for victory, both sides continued to increase their weight, more and more soldiers were sent here, and even the gunners rushed forward with special artillery versions of Luger pistols. This is an extended-barreled pistol that uses a drum, and even has a stock, which was originally used as a self-defense weapon and has been transformed into a melee weapon after some "magic modifications"! If it weren't for the fact that the 9mm*19mm bellum bullet was a little less powerful, the effect would be even better.

"The infantry firepower of the Boers was so strong that a few people could usually form a formidable network of fire! Their weapons pursue the maximum rate of fire, whether it is a semi-automatic rifle or a variety of automatic pistols, which have an overwhelming advantage in infantry engagements."

"I even saw a squad of soldiers, killed and wounded at the hands of two Boers! The warriors were trying to cross a trench when two Boers suddenly rushed from the flank, pulled the trigger, and after a barrage of gunfire, our soldiers were wiped out without even returning fire. ”

"After the battle, I got a near-complete artillery version of the Luger pistol from the battlefield, although it is very inconvenient to carry and difficult to maintain, but it is definitely a melee weapon!" After the war, an Englishman commented on the situation.

Thousands of people on both sides fought and shot between trenches and bunkers, since the suppression of the great Indian national uprising and the Mahdi uprising in Sudan, the British have not experienced such a tragic hand-to-hand combat for a long time, the high morale allows people to play a stronger combat effectiveness, but under the blow of the rain of bullets, and the blood and broken limbs of the friendly soldiers around them, no matter how crazy people will become cowardly and frightened over time, a high-speed bullet will shatter the skull of a British soldier, White brains and blood spilled around, Willy felt something fall on his mouth, he subconsciously stuck out his tongue and added it, a fishy smell came up, he wiped it with his hand, half a lens appeared on his hand, it was a broken human eye!

Willy felt his whole stomach tremble and spasm, his body trembling uncontrollably, vomiting, and running backwards with all his might, he couldn't hear anyone's words, only one thought left, hurry out of this horrible place! Unfortunately, Willy didn't get far before he was shot from behind by a bullet from behind, which was the bullet of a revolver.

With the first man, there will be a second man, and the fierce counterattack of the Boers and the suffocating rain of bullets have worn out the fighting spirit of the British little by little! Although the officers used swearing and even bullets to boost morale, it was only a matter of time before it became clear that more and more Boers were coming from the rear and victory was getting farther and farther away from them! The Boers restrained the British charge with fierce firepower and at the cost of hundreds of casualties on two lines of defense, and then, after stabilizing the situation, launched a fierce counterattack!

"Order, put all the reserves into the battlefield! We must not retreat! General French looked at the already crumbling battle line in front of him and said categorically!
