Chapter 332: The Attack Is Frustrated (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Die, damn Russians!" A heavy machine gun of the Austrian army is firing frantically. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The industrial strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is very good, and the performance of their military products is also very good. Although the heavy machine guns equipped by the Austrian army cannot be compared with the general-purpose machine guns equipped by the German army, they are at least at the leading level in the world.
Dense bullets shrouded the Russian army like a pouring rain. The Russian troops, who maintained a dense formation to attack, became the best target for heavy machine guns. Patches of Russian troops, shot and fell to the ground, as if they were cutting wheat.
"Ulla! Ulla! ”
The Russian army's Ula charge is like a rainbow. Although, they are poorly equipped. However, when they attacked, they were not afraid of death. Such tactics make them often able to intimidate their opponents in battle, so as to defeat their opponents.
It's just that this time, the Russian army's Ula charge doesn't seem to be very effective. The Austrian soldiers on the opposite side did not seem to be intimidated by them, and were still attacking them with powerful firepower.
Under such circumstances, the losses of the Russian army began to soar.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot rang out, and a Russian soldier was shot in the chest, and his charging body fell to the ground at once.
In the Austrian trenches, young Austrian soldiers are pulling the bolt of their guns and loading the next bullet. At first, his face was full of fear. However, gradually, he had slowly overcome the fear in his heart and began to fight calmly.
Many of the Austrian soldiers, almost all of whom were fighting, slowly changed. The Russian army's Ula charge scared them enough, and many people almost ran away. However, under the strong deterrence of their own gendarmes, they did not dare to flee, so they could only continue to fight. But soon, they found out that the Russian army's attack, in addition to the amazing momentum, has no other special features, they are the same people, and after being hit by bullets, they will be killed the same. As long as you can overcome the fear in your heart, you can defeat them.
In this way, the morale of the Austrian army began to gradually pick up.
The front-line commanders of the Austrian army, after discovering this change, finally breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted to be defeated, and when they were defeated by the Russians before, they were also very aggrieved. It's not that their soldiers are inferior to the Russians, it's not that their weapons and equipment are inferior to the Russians, it's mainly that everyone is scared by the Russians. After overcoming their fears, the Austrians finally began to exert their due combat effectiveness.
The morale of the Austrian army gradually recovered, and the defensive line began to stabilize. This is not a good thing for the Russians who are attacking one side.
"Damn, how can their firepower be so strong?" When Admiral Rusky saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned in shock. You know, in the previous battles, the Austrian army has always been vulnerable. But now, it's as if they've changed an army! Such a change really made him a little hard to believe.
"General, is it not the Austro-Hungarian Army that is fighting us, but the Germans? Otherwise, how could the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army have been so greatly improved? A lieutenant general said.
"Germans? How is this possible. Not to mention that the Germans are attacking the 4th Army, even if it were really Germans, they would probably not blindly defend a long time ago, but would attack directly. If the Germans attacked, would we be able to withstand their attack? Admiral Rusky shook his head.
The generals of the Russian army also looked like they were convinced. Indeed, the Germans were much more formidable than the Austrians. If they had faced the Germans, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive forces would have been reversed long ago.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Shells continued to explode in the ranks of the Russian troops, and Russian soldiers were constantly torn to pieces.
"Da Da Da!"
The dense firepower network composed of light and heavy machine guns of the Austrian army is even more wantonly harvesting the lives of these Russian soldiers.
Under the strong firepower of the Austrian army, the Russian army paid extremely heavy losses. Even if the Russian soldiers are not afraid of death when they fight, their courage will disappear when their comrades around them fall one after another.
Under the huge losses, the first round of the Russian offensive had to retreat. Countless Russian soldiers turned around and fled. They fled faster than they could attack.
"Hooray! Banzai! We defeated the Russians. ”
Seeing that the soldiers of the Russian army had fled, the cheers of the soldiers sounded on the defensive line of the Austrian army. Countless Austrian soldiers cheered loudly. It's been a long time since they've had such a victory.
"It seems that the Russians are not invincible. Before, we were just intimidated by them. Now, we have understood that the Russians are nothing more than paper tigers, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all. A young Austrian soldier said.
"Haha, the Russians are so vulnerable, in the future, we don't have to be afraid of them at all." Such words are everywhere.
Through this battle, the originally low morale of the Austrian soldiers was quickly revived.
"Bastard! Half an hour later, the offensive continued. Even if the Austro-Hungarian cowards become different, we can still defeat them! Admiral Rusky ordered through gritted teeth.
Although, he knew, this battle might not go as smoothly as they expected. But now they have no way out. This battle must still be fought like this.
"Yes, General!"
Not only was the attack of the 3rd Army of the Russian Army frustrated, but the attack of the 8th Army and the 11th Army of the Russian Army also encountered a strong counterattack by the Russian army. The Austrian defensive line seemed to have become impregnable overnight. Those Austrian troops, who were originally demoralized and could be defeated with only one charge of the Russian army, seemed to have been reborn, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly improved.
This made it inevitable that the Russian army would break its head and suffer heavy losses in front of the Austrian defense line.
Although, in the ensuing battles, the Russian army launched several rounds of attacks. However, it was still not possible to break through the Austrian defenses. Although, their offensive also cost the Austrians something. But in general, it was the Russian army that suffered more losses. What's more, after this fierce battle, the morale of the Austrian soldiers was revived. In the case that the weapons are inferior to the Austrian army and there is no advantage in strength, it is conceivable that the Russian army wants to break through the Austrian defense line, and it is very difficult.
