Chapter 1291: Hit the Iron Plate
However, if you think about it, it is really not so easy to destroy the fortifications of the German-Austrian Federal Army, especially when the opponent has strong heavy machine gun firepower, it is even more unrealistic, at least, now it seems that in a short period of time, it is impossible to defeat the German-Austrian Federal Army, take Essomolo in one fell swoop, and then march towards Pretoria!
Circular tunnels and trench fortifications are all killer features of the Chinese Empire!
"Damn, the Chinese Empire, this is really going to compete with our British Empire for South Africa......"
Evans said through gritted teeth.
Nick on the side also looked into the distance with a telescope in his hand, and didn't understand what was going on for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "General Evans, what's wrong, is there anything wrong?" What happened to the opposing position? ”
"Didn't you see that?"
Evans said angrily: "On the other side's position, are their fortifications the same as ours?" When we teach you to dig fortifications, do we teach you the same as theirs? ”
"Forehead ......"
Nick's face darkened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he replied: "It's a little different, but what's wrong with this, what can it be if it's different, can the fortifications still kill people?" The most important thing now is to take out their heavy machine gun fire, my General Evans......"
Evans was so angry that he wanted to kill Nick in front of him, but it was a pile of mud that couldn't hold up the wall!
"Stupid! Although their fortifications can't kill people, their fortifications can protect their heavy machine gun fire to the greatest extent, and they can also protect their soldiers, we have ten dead and wounded, and people can't even die! How do you play? ”
Evans roared angrily.
Nick was dumbfounded, such a big gap?
"General Nick, you don't know, this kind of fortification, only the People's Army of the Chinese Empire in the world can use it skillfully, even if we have been studying their trench fortifications and serial tunnels for the past two years, but we still can't be as perfect as the Chinese People's Army, this fortification is too powerful in field positional warfare......"
Terry on the side smiled bitterly.
Nick is speechless now, having just solved the problem of artillery, and now another fortification has popped up, how did these German-Austrian federal troops suddenly become so strong? Even the military advisers who came on behalf of the British Empire scratched their heads!
More than scratching your head? Now Evans feels like some tiger eating hedgehogs, and there is nowhere to put his mouth......
"Order, continue to concentrate our firepower and launch a fierce attack on the forward positions of the German and Austrian federal forces, I don't believe it, no matter how powerful their fortifications are, they will definitely not be able to withstand our continuous artillery bombardment, and if they can't destroy their forward positions in one day, then two days, two days will not work, then five days! Be sure to destroy their forward positions! Also, order the infantry not to stop the attack on the forward positions, and to always maintain the pressure on the forward positions, constantly feint, and consume their heavy machine gun fire! ”
Evans shouted through gritted teeth.
Nick is helpless now, and now he can only obey Evans' orders, damn it, what is going on with this Chinese Empire? Why did the Boers suddenly fall on such a big thick leg? But it's killing us!
However, now it's too late to be entangled and depressed, since at this time, I have already ridden a tiger, and I can't get down, so I can only fight!
Under the covering fire of the two artillery regiments in turn, the Zulu infantry continued to carry out tentative attacks on the Boer positions on the opposite side!
On the opposite side, Kalius has come to the forward position, the regiment commanders Luke and Bisda are standing on both sides of Kalius, the opponent's firepower is too strong, the forward position is under tremendous pressure, the casualties are increasing, and even the heavy machine gun position has suffered a certain blow, and the opponent's attack is wave after wave, if this continues, the ammunition of the heavy machine gun will run out sooner or later, and it will definitely not last too long!
But without heavy machine guns, it is even more difficult to withstand the opponent's infantry attack, the Zulu people's melee ability is stronger than the Boers, not to mention that the opponent's strength is as high as 40,000 now, which is more than twice as much as their own!
Now, you can only look at the artillery in the rear!
Fang Huasheng personally commanded the artillery to withdraw three kilometers away in one breath, and then stopped, urgently deploying a new artillery position, after three hours, the position was stabilized, at this time, it was already dusk!
"Fuck, Lao Tzu's position has been suffocated for a long time, and it's time for you to see the power of our artillery again!"
Fang Huasheng shouted fiercely: "Du Qiang, immediately command the artillery to launch an attack and carry out a covering attack towards the Zulu artillery position!" Don't stop! ”
Du Qiang, the commander of the artillery regiment, hurriedly commanded the artillery and threw it into the battle.
Shells roared out again from the artillery positions and went straight to the Zulu artillery positions!
When the Zulu attack was raging, suddenly a dense artillery sound sounded again in the distance, and one shell after another rushed to the face, landing on their own artillery positions one after another, blowing up the artillery positions into a miasma!
Evans slammed the telescope to the ground and roared, "Damn it! Their artillery began to attack again, and the order was given, immediately counterattack with all its might! Their artillery fire must be suppressed! ”
Without Evans' order, the British instructors on the artillery position had already taken action, but when they found out the distance of the other party, they were dumbfounded, and the opponent's artillery was as high as seven kilometers away from their own artillery position! It's too far!
Almost all of their artillery pieces are smoothbore guns, even if some of the main guns of the British army are still smoothbore guns, the longest range of smoothbore guns is only about seven kilometers, and when it comes to such a range, the accuracy of the shells plummets, and it is not enough to threaten the opponent's position, but how did the opponent's shells hit? Could it be that they are armed with the latest rifled guns in service?
"General Evans, I'm afraid we won't be able to strike at the opponent's artillery positions......"
Terry, a military staff officer who came to report, said astringently: "The other side is too far away from us, up to eight kilometers, and our artillery cannot threaten the opponent's position at all......"
Evans's face sank suddenly, which means that we can only be beaten passively? Fuck, damn the Chinese Empire, it's so difficult to deal with, in order to be able to infiltrate the forces into South Africa, it even connected the rifling and then weighted the machine gun, all to the German and Austrian Federal Republic!
