410 Under the loneliness of the cavalry age
Da Da...
In order to better cope with the cavalry charge, the Han army did not spread out the small number of troops, but gathered them into various small heights to form one ring position after another.
As for the flat land, there was not a single soldier stationed there, and the cavalry could step over it safely...... As long as they are lucky enough to dodge the dense machine-gun fire from both sides!
It can be said that the defense line of the Han army is not composed of soldiers, but is connected by the fire network of grenadiers and Maxine heavy machine guns, and each small high ground forms a zigzag crossing line, and any active creatures that enter the range of Maxine heavy machine guns and grenadiers are within their strike range!
Soon, the slogan of the Long Live Charge came faintly, and the First Army was worthy of being the elite of the Prussian Army, and after being baptized by the 75mm Miss French rapid-fire gun, it still had the courage to continue the momentum of the charge.
The mobilizers and machine gunners, looking indifferently at the approaching black line of cavalry, decisively pulled the trigger in a command, and sprinkled a barrage of steel!
This time, for the Prussian cavalry, it was even more terrible than the previous artillery coverage, because they were closer to the enemy, which meant more accurate aiming, and the rate of fire of machine guns and grenadiers was not comparable to that of the 75 mm Miss France rapid-fire gun.
In the eyes of the Han officers in the rear of the palace, this was not a war at all, but a naked massacre, or a massacre in front of the enemy's own initiative, and all the soldiers needed to do was put the grenadier shells into the muzzle, cover their ears and listen to the sound......
Or pull the trigger and shoot back and forth at the black figures everywhere in front of you.
Yellow-orange shells sprang everywhere, boxes of machine-gun ammunition and standard grenades were opened, and then in a matter of minutes, they were empty......
For the first time, the soldiers of the Han army discovered that pulling the trigger and firing the grenadier was also a physical task!
The Prussian cavalry unit in the charge was blinded at the first time, and the friendly troops in front of them were brushed to the ground, constantly reminding the Prussian soldiers who were still alive behind that it was a forbidden area of life!
The corpses that fell and the flesh that flew sideways became natural barricades, even better than the horse rejection effect arranged in advance by the Han soldiers, because those flesh and blood barricades had a more visual impact on the Prussian soldiers.
The Prussian cavalry, whose charging speed was seriously hindered, completely lost the opportunity to get close to the enemy, and even if a few lucky people who did not die rushed to the small high ground, they would be bombed by the grenades thrown so that his mother did not know them......
The defending Han troops almost gave up firing on the Mauser rifles, and the mobilized soldiers completely became coolies who carried ammunition, and they found that it was more efficient to throw grenades to blow up these Prussian cavalry who took the initiative to 'beg for death'......
On a dusty battlefield filled with grenadiers and Maxine heavy machine guns, it was not easy to aim and shoot with a Mauser rifle.
Not to mention, the smoke and dust brought up by the cavalry charge seemed to obscure the entire sky.
Fortunately, Maxine heavy machine guns and grenadiers are fire weapons that cover strikes, and they don't need precise aiming, just sweep in the general direction of the pile!
After a whole hour of bloody slaughter, the formation of two Prussian cavalry divisions could almost be eliminated from the Prussian army, and under the welcoming ceremony of the 75mm Miss French rapid-fire gun, the few Prussian cavalry once again experienced a baptism of blood and fire, and even the commanders of the two cavalry divisions were blown to nothing!
This battle was destined to inform all of Europe that the era of cavalry had completely declined, and that with the cooperation of high-powered burst weapons and artillery, cavalry charges were useless except to send them to death.
The only good news for the Prussian army was that the Prussian cavalry, which had been almost killed, was routed and met the First Army of the First Army, which was rushing to the battlefield, and told them the details of the battle, so that the First Army stopped the attack in time.
However, the commander of the First Army, Bidian Felt, did not order the withdrawal of the army, he just knew that the cavalry division was defeated by the Han army's high-powered artillery and advanced continuous fire weapons, and did not know that the main force of the First Army, the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army, had completely collapsed, that was more than 100,000 troops, even if the First Army Commander Bi Dian Felt had a rich imagination, he could not imagine that so many troops would collapse in just one day, because this is so unscientific!
Before the absence of fast mobile war machines such as armored vehicles and tanks, it was very difficult to quickly break through the front, after all, human endurance is limited, even if everyone is a marathon champion, how far can they run?
And even the best marathon champion in the world can't outrun an oil-burning tank......
Therefore, the commander of the First Army, Bidian Felt, naturally chose to be stationed on the spot, sending a large number of scouts to observe the situation on the battlefield on the front line, and at the same time sending messengers to report the current situation to the headquarters of the First Army Corps.
However, the commander of the First Army, Bidian Felt, did not wait for the news of the return of his own messenger, but waited for the ten German-style No. 3 tanks that turned around and attacked!
In order to give full play to the speed advantage of the armored troops, he asked people to collect all the war horses that could be collected, and then let the mobilized soldiers become horse infantry, the most ruthless thing is that Lin Haoda ordered all the horse mobilizers who followed the German No. 3 tank to break through, and only allowed to carry ten Mauser rifle bullets for self-defense, and the rest of the space was used to carry the machine gun ammunition for the German No. 3 tank.
Even the side of the German No. 3 tank is full of dense shells and boxes full of machine gun bullets, which has become a large dangerous goods carrying vehicle, if one bullet just hits the shell mounted on it, it can immediately turn the entire German No. 3 tank into a moving torch!
However, there were mounted infantry on the front and left of the German No. 3 tank, and as long as their own men did not shoot at the tank, there would be basically no problems......
In this way, Lin Haoda, who pursued speed, quickly killed a horse pistol, pinched his fingers to calculate the amount of fuel, and when he arrived in front of the position of the First Army, it was just enough to launch an attack!
The cavalry infantry then quickly turned the explosive-packed German No. 3 into a normal steel behemoth and launched a surprise attack on the First Army's position, which was building a barracks.
This time, Lin Haoda, who knew that the Prussians had nothing to do with the tanks, did not even send the infantry to follow, and only sent a small number of mounted infantry to follow behind to expand the results of the battle.
To deal with a group of defeated soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit, mounted infantry is enough!
