Chapter 1290: Strange Fortifications

"You know the! Almost all of our artillery is rifled, and the firing range is all above six kilometers, and the farthest can reach ten kilometers! The Zulu artillery on the opposite side is all smoothbore guns retired from the British army, and the firing range is less than five kilometers, and the farthest is no more than six or seven kilometers! Now the artillery positions of the two sides are three or four kilometers apart, and once we retreat two kilometers, the other side's artillery will not be able to threaten our artillery, but our artillery can attack them, and when the time comes, their artillery will only be beaten, and there will be no way to fight back. A sucker! ”

Fang Huasheng shouted. Fastest updates

"Oh!"

It dawned on Kalius and hurriedly ordered the artillery to retreat, ready to fight again.

However, the artillery of this era is very cumbersome, even the artillery of the Chinese People's Army is the same, retreating from the position to the rear, but it is not so easy, and the march is also not so easy, retreating two or three kilometers, and then redeploying the position into battle, without more than two hours, it is simply impossible!

The artillery of the German-Austrian Federal Army retreated backwards, naturally unable to be put into the attack, and the artillery positions of the Zulu Kingdom were not contained by the artillery of the German-Austrian Federal Army, and the attack was even more fierce.

In the distance, Nick jumped up excitedly and shouted: "General Evans, General Evans, the opponent's artillery can't support it, they can't support it, haha, it's still your army, as soon as you make a move, you will beat the opponent's artillery to retreat in a panic, mighty!" ”

Evans frowned, feeling a little unsteady in his heart, retreating so quickly, impossible, although the opponent's artillery combat power is not as good as our British soldiers, but the combat power is not weak, how can it suddenly retreat?

However, now that the battle is fierce, Evans can't afford to think too much, retreat and retreat, it's better than fighting with the instructor group brought here, you must know that you are all elite veterans, all of them are elites, if you lose too much in the artillery battle, it will be difficult to explain!

"Order, concentrate artillery fire again, attack the opponent's forward positions, and after an hour, launch a feint attack on the frontal positions of the German and Austrian federal army!"

Evans exclaimed.

More than an hour has passed since the beginning of the battle, and after more than an hour of bombardment, the opponent's position is only afraid that it has been almost bombarded by its own artillery, even if their heavy machine gun position is not destroyed, I am afraid that it will not be able to maintain much strong combat power, and nearly 100 artillery pieces bombarded for two or three hours, it is not a joke!

An hour passed quickly, and the entire position of the German-Austrian Federal Army was bombarded by artillery fire, especially the forward positions were full of holes, even if the German-Austrian Federal Army built a very strong position, it could not be spared under such fierce artillery fire, and the officers and men of the German-Austrian Federal Army inevitably suffered casualties!

"Order, immediately put in 3,000 troops, launch a feint from the front, test the opponent's firepower!"

Evans shouted, and the three thousand Zulu infantry began to attack the positions of the German-Austrian federal army on the opposite side!

This time, with the lesson of the last time, the Zulu infantry no longer dared to break through like the last time, it was fatal, if they really charged to a position less than three hundred meters away from the front of the opponent's position again, once the heavy machine gun fire began to strafe fiercely, even if they wanted to retreat!

However, even if they were cautious, the Zulu infantry was also moving closer to the forward position step by step, and after more than ten minutes, the infantry had advanced to a place less than five hundred meters away from the opponent, at this time, the Zulu infantry advanced more slowly, one by one the Zulu infantry bowed their waists, cautiously exploring forward!

Sudden ......

Suddenly, the heavy machine guns on the position of the German-Austrian Federal Army resounded in the sky again, and one by one the firing points appeared, and the crazy fire network blocked the entire battlefield space, directly attacking the infantry of the Zulu Kingdom!

Yes......

The infantry of the Zulu Kingdom let out a burst of ghost crying wolf howls, and fled towards the rear without their lives, they had already been frightened by the heavy machine gun fire, where did they dare to take a step forward?

With their backs exposed to the heavy machine gun positions of the German-Austrian Federal Army in this way, where is there any good place for the warriors of the Zulu Kingdom? One by one, the infantry was hit by heavy machine gun bullets and fell to the ground, but fortunately, this time the distance was far, the formation of the infantry of the Zulu Kingdom was scattered, and the casualties were not very serious, even so, the infantry of the Zulu Kingdom had been stunned, and they fled to the rear without their lives.

In the distance, Evans and Nick had gloomy faces, on the one hand, they were angry at the cowardice of the Kingdom's infantry, and on the other hand, they expressed their horror at the heavy machine gun position, after such a long period of bombing, the opponent's heavy machine gun fire was still so strong!

"Damn bastards! These nasty heavy machine guns! ”

Evans roared, "Order, the artillery position gives me concentrated firepower, aiming at the opponent's heavy machine gun fire point, and making a precise strike!" Shelling with all your might! ”

"General Evans! General Evans! ”

Terry, the military staff officer on the side, exclaimed to Evans: "Look at the Boer positions in the distance, see their fortifications? ”

Evans was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, now their position is a high point, condescending, and they can see clearly the position of the German-Austrian federal army opposite!

Hiss......

At this time, Evans discovered that the position of the German and Austrian Federal Army on the opposite side was different from the ordinary defensive position, and the trenches connected the entire position in series, which seemed to be at least one or two meters or even two or three meters deep, and these tunnels still maintained this wedge groove, and the shells fell outside the tunnels, wanting to cause serious damage to the opponent, it was rare, a large number of shrapnel and sand and gravel were blocked by the protective layer above! Moreover, all the tunnels are connected in series, and the opponent's troops can completely dispatch their own troops in them, and they are not affected by external artillery fire at all!

What kind of fortification is this?

"General Evans, these fortifications are called chain tunnels and trench fortifications in the Chinese Empire!"

Terry said urgently, "Two years ago, I once followed General Dundas to fight in the Huaxia Empire, and fought with them repeatedly, this is the unique combat method of the Huaxia People's Army, with the help of powerful and concealed fortifications, you can block the opponent's strong artillery firepower, I don't know what's going on, how can these fortifications be used by the German and Austrian Federal Army!" This is a unique combat method of the Chinese People's Army! ”

Evans was shocked, since it was a unique combat fortification of the Chinese Empire, wouldn't it mean that there was also a Chinese People's Army in the German-Austrian Federal Army opposite? Like the Zulu Kingdom, the elite of the Chinese People's Army hidden behind is the real opponent!

Chinese Empire! It seems that you are really going to wrestle with our British Empire, but it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! (To be continued.) )
