436 Hypothetical Army's combat effectiveness test
Bang bang bang......
The gunfire was very dense, but Cheng Xiaoyu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, could hear that there were not many enemy soldiers firing on the opposite position, and none of them were in use!
This is also related to the fact that the Austro-Hungarian army is not familiar with the combat routines of the Han army, and the continuous fire weapon is also a rare item among the European powers of this era.
Naturally, the Austro-Hungarian soldiers had to make the most of their few repeating weapons and place them on the most fortified high ground, which had always been the focus of the shelling......
The Austro-Crarian army did not expect that the Han army's shells could be so powerful that the proud anti-artillery hole became a hollow tomb under the 155 mm cannon......
Thus, after a round of shelling, some of the Austro-Hungarian soldiers on the positions may have survived, but none of the few repeating weapons were usable.
However, even if the bullets fired from the Austro-Hungarian position were not dense, they still beat the front row of the Italian soldiers who were advancing on the cat's waist for a while, and the Italian soldiers who were afraid of death did not dare to advance anymore, and one by one they lay on the ground more 'standard', wasting bullets with the Austro-Hungarian soldiers in the opposite position!
Cheng Xiaoyu saw this situation and knew that even if the enemy on the Austro-Hungarian position on the opposite side suffered heavy losses under the artillery bombardment and was unable to counterattack, these Italian soldiers under his own command would not want to rush over......
In Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes, the firepower of the platoon guns on the opposite side is not intensive, with more than 1,000 men of the Italian Independent Regiment, as long as they pay a certain loss, they can run and rush into the Austro-Crarian trenches, and basically a bayonet assault can solve a small number of Austro-Hungarian soldiers.
It's a pity that in the case of the Italian soldiers, this was always just a theory that could not become a reality......
In fact, under the sudden counterattack of the Austro-Hungarian soldiers in the trenches, the Italian Independent Regiment did not completely collapse, but lay on the spot and opened fire to resist, which already made Cheng Xiaoyu feel relieved, at least, they deserve the title of Italian regular army......
Of course, this had a lot to do with the fact that there were no repeating weapons on the Austro-Hungarian positions, and even if there was a machine gun on the Austro-Hungarian positions that could still fire normally, these Italian soldiers did not have the courage to lie on the ground and shoot at them.
After seeing that his Italian soldiers stopped advancing, Cheng Xiaoyu did not have the frustration of failure, Cheng Xiaoyu, who had already led the Italian soldiers to fight several times, had already figured out the temperament of this group of Italian soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as they did not retreat, they could continue to fight.
And Cheng Xiaoyu's confidence naturally comes from......
"Second Battalion Commander Jiang Cannon, it's time for your Italian artillery to come on the field, shell the area where the Austro-Hungarian positions are fired, suppress their firepower, and let our soldiers rush forward!"
Jiang Cannon, who had been following behind Cheng Xiaoyu with a fat belly with an obscene face, let out a flattering 'eh' and ran towards his Italian artillery team happily.
The reason why Jiang Cannon can eat like this is naturally related to his skills, he is one of the few artillery talents in the mobilized soldiers, and he can hit the designated target just by looking at it with his hands, and the best thing to use is the Italian cannon that can often be used, after all, the system artillery is professionally operated by artillery, and there is no need for him, an artillery soldier from a mobilized soldier, to intervene.
Jiang Cannon, as the person with the best artillery skills in the Italian puppet army Han officer corps, can naturally get more remuneration and benefits, and Jiang Cannon adheres to the attitude of timely and happy life, and when he has money, he will immediately throw it on the belly of Italian prostitutes, or go to various Italian restaurants to eat in his stomach......
This caused Jiang Cannon to become the fattest one in the whole regiment, but his job has always been to operate Italian artillery, but he doesn't have to go to the front line, it doesn't matter if he is fat......
In fact, more than half of the credit for Cheng Xiaoyu's battle to exterminate the Sicilian guerrillas was won by Jiang Cannon, and without Jiang Cannon's accurate Italian artillery level, Italian soldiers would not have been able to rush into the enemy's defense line at all.
Open!
Under the first test shot, the shell accurately hit the area around the Austro-Hungarian soldiers' trenches that were firing, and the first shot could hit so close that Cheng Xiaoyu could guess with his ass that it was Jiang Cannon who had personally tested the gun.
However, in the face of an enemy army like Austria-Hungary, Jiang Cannon should personally give guidance to his artillery.
After the test gun, a series of shelling suddenly landed on the Austro-Hungarian positions that were returned to the fire, kicking up a sky of dust and flesh!
The power of this Italian artillery is naturally inferior to that of the Han army, but the Italian artillery is closer to the artillery, and the aim is naturally more accurate, as for the artillery units of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they have long been solved by the Han artillery with an absolute advantage in range.
The Austro-Khatronic artillery positions against the Han army, as long as the artillery was fired, it would attract a tsunami-like carpet bombardment, and less than half a day after the start of the war, the Austro-Hungarian army tragically discovered that they could no longer rely on the artillery unit!
Because of this, the armored forces of the Han army were able to break through all the way, which was equivalent to smashing the Austro-Hungarian positions with about zero battle losses.
After the Italian artillery fired, the Italian Independent Regiment suddenly sounded the 'charge', the previous bombing for the Italian soldiers lying on the front line, it was clear to see, the enemy was blown up like that grandmother, the morale of the Italians will naturally rise, after the charge sounded, excitedly jumped up from the ground and rushed up!
Winning the battle is an opportunity for Italian soldiers to make extra money, in addition to the necessary weapons, ammunition and large objects, the mobilization officers will not care about the 'valuables' on the corpses of the enemy, the Italian soldiers who rush forward first, naturally have the first chance to pick up the corpse, of course, the Italian soldiers are not fools, they will kill or disarm all the living things that can move before picking up the corpse.
The lenient handling of booty was also a measure to ensure the morale of the Italian soldiers, especially in siege warfare, and the Italian soldiers were allowed to keep a certain amount of 'free booty', so the Italian soldiers were still willing to win the battle.
On the Austro-Hungarian position, which was already small in number, it was dizzy by the Italian artillery, and naturally it was impossible to resist the screaming and screaming charge of Italian soldiers who were several times his size, so Cheng Xiaoyu successfully took this target position after paying the price of hundreds of Italian soldiers and tested the 'highest combat effectiveness value' of the Italian Independent Regiment.
