Chapter 704: Repelling Greece
Located in the rear, four kilometers away from the entire battlefield, the Greek commander, who was responsible for this attack on the Greek generals, almost gritted their teeth, and the sudden cold guns made them unable to grasp the situation on the battlefield, and the chaotic Greek camp gave them an ominous premonition, but the other party's blows were tightly linked, and they did not give them room to react at all.
It's over, this is a thought that flashed in the minds of all commanders, if they were replaced by a neat camp, maybe they would be able to resist with the help of well-trained, but the chaotic camp, and then hit by the opponent's superior artillery fire, the result could only be a rout.
These Greek officers in the rear did not realize at this time that the artillery fire of the opposite side of the Turkish side was different, and they saw from a distance that the Greek soldiers had climbed down in time, and they took it for granted that the casualties were within the acceptable range, but they did not expect that after the improvement, the power of the infantry anti-personnel shells was twice as high as the original shells, and some of the air blasts had no dead ends in the range and lethality of the coverage, and they did not climb down if they climbed down, in fact, the result was the same.
The command command's order quickly reached the position of the artillery, and the Greek commander asked the artillery to counteract, but after a little observation of the direction of the opponent's artillery fire, the artillery knew that there was no way, they were already five or six kilometers away from the Ioannina Fortress, and there was a Ioannina Fortress, and the opponent's artillery fire was even more than ** kilometers behind the Ioannina Fortress, and the artillery fire on this side was simply out of reach.
No way. Under the orders of their commanders, they had to keep attacking the fortress of Ioannina to find a balance. It's a pity that in the fortress of Ioannina at this time, most of the Turkish soldiers are hiding inside the strongest castle, unless the entire castle is shattered, it is difficult to cause damage, as for the snipers, they are hiding in the safest position, and the sniper position is fixed. Unless it is a multiple fixed hit of a large-caliber gun, there will be absolutely no problems. It's strange that a random fight like Greece can hit!
Unlike the Greeks, the Turkish artillery fire continued. According to the previous agreement, no matter what the position, it was just a covering attack according to the shooting elements, and there were 12 rounds of rapid fire, and the Turkish artillery, which had long been unable to resist, fought extremely unrestrained. The artillerymen did not need to aim and turn the set shooting elements, but only to shoot according to the established guidelines. The 600 rounds of shells, concentrated in the area showing the density of the Greeks, the effect is simply amazing. At least more than 3,000 people fell forever on the land in front of the city, and many more were wounded, more than 5,000 people, and the results of the battle were extremely amazing.
Infantry anti-personnel shells, which appeared in Puyi. It is a powerful, scientifically formulated cannonball. More fragments, so that the shell became an amazing killing machine, unprotected infantry, on the flat land, encountered such an anti-personnel shell, almost nine deaths.
The artillery fire, which lasted for 10 minutes, finally stopped, the battlefield was in shambles, Greece had never suffered such a fierce blow since the attack on the fortress of Ioannina, a division in charge of the first attack was almost half disabled, the loss of the main officers and low-level soldiers made their morale almost drop to the bottom, and it was almost impossible to attack the walls of the fortress of Ioannina.
The Greek commander knew very well that at such a time, even if the soldiers were forcibly ordered to storm the city wall, the soldiers would not obey the order, and let the soldiers stay where they were, it would be in vain to die, and as a last resort, Mingjin withdrew his troops.
The Greek soldiers in a desperate situation were already on the verge of collapse, and some even fled directly backwards, even if they were deserters on their backs, they definitely did not continue to fight here, and when they heard the order, they quickly retreated, while the artillery on the Turkish side was still fired in accordance with the established range, and the effect was not as good as the first wave of bombardment.
The Greeks retreated quickly, and soon withdrew from the main area, because there was no immediate means of communication, the artillery did not continue the pursuit, and after a radius of 800 meters, the attacks gradually decreased.
However, the footsteps of the Greeks did not stop at all, because the shadow of death has always shrouded them, but the cold gun has been chasing them, from 600 meters to 1000 meters, for most Greek soldiers, it is a road to hell of death, crackling special guns, from time to time, this sound of hell, take away one life after another, from time to time someone falls, as if it is a roll call, no one knows, whether it will be on their heads next, gritting their teeth, just run, dare not stop.
With such mental pressure, many people ran to safety, and the Greeks' defense line did not stop, and even a few died violently after running out of strength, which can be regarded as a strange killing indicator.
8 minutes, high-intensity eight-minute attack, from the first wave of snipers to start shooting, to the final stop, a total of such a long time, Wang Erniu finally stopped continuing to design, feeling the slightly hot barrel, added 41 scratches to the wall in front of Wang Erniu's sniper position, in 8 minutes, he fired a total of 64 shots, continuous firing, so that the barrel was a little hot, but the results were brilliant, hitting 56 people, the hit rate was as high as more than 85%, and the key thing is that 41 people were killed.
Other snipers, in terms of sniping time, can not be compared with Wang Erniu, they are basically sniping between 600 meters and 1100 meters, this time may only be a little more than 5 minutes, they just choose to be easy to be hit, almost everyone has increased 8-15 heads, and the number of injuries is multiple.
This kind of efficiency can be said to be amazing, most snipers can't reach more than 80% of the hit rate like Wang Erniu, but in the high-precision sniper rifle, it is carefully calculated after training, and the lowest hit rate is about 60%, so that 150 people, an average of about 50 bullets, but take out more than 3000 casualties, the efficiency is simply outrageous.
Victorious, the defenders of the fortress of Ioannina withstood the attack of the Greek army almost unscathed, and dealt them a heavy blow, and later statistics showed that the Greek soldiers who fell under the walls of the fortress of Ioannina were as high as 7,200 people, of which the small two thousand were seriously wounded and could not move, and it was impossible to get proper treatment from the Turkish side, and those who were dragged alive or killed by the Turks with swords, 2,000 people were the results of the marksman troops, and the artillery also completed about 3,300 people.
From the beginning of the Balkan War to the present, Turkey has never encountered such a great victory, defeating two divisions and killing most of them, if you carefully calculate, the sum of the kills and minor and serious wounded, one division will be reimbursed.
The loss of a division is very difficult to accept for a once powerful country like Turkey, not to mention a small country like Greece, the siege of the fortress of Ioannina was directly solved, and the entire attacking force withdrew 30 kilometers, for fear that Turkey would pursue.
Almost on the same day, not only the fortress of Ioannina, but also the other cities had the same brilliant results, especially the other two places, not only in terms of artillery fire than here, even if there were more people than here, the results were even more brilliant, Greece was a sovereign country in 1822, but Serbia and Romania, how long was independent, more than ten years, still in the midst of war.
The results of the battle were brilliant, when the battle report of the front line was returned, several Pasha of the Turkish Shabaab did not even believe it, and after several times of confirmation, it was confirmed that 500 soldiers of the Northwest Army, at most the help of two or three thousand Turkish soldiers, and artillery as a backup, the previous Turkish army was several times this, but it was still defeated, could it be that the Northwest Army and the Chinese, there is any magic in the spirit.
Compared with Turkey's confusion, Germany is more concerned about the battle report, especially how the northwest is fighting, as an army power, Germany's army has its own pride, after seeing the northwest combat methods, the German army has made several modifications, changed the way of fighting, but also changed the composition of equipment, it can be said that the changes are great.
As a result of the change, Germany's combat effectiveness has become stronger, which is a huge boost for Germany, and therefore, they pay attention to the northwest, especially this time in the Balkan War, because Turkey and the Young Turks are not strong, they have no choice but to lose face and ask for help from the northwest, on the one hand, there is no way, on the other hand, it is to see what magic the Northwest Army has.
Sending a team of 600 people from the northwest, the German side began to pay attention, and other countries may think that the northwest does not want to anger the strength of Britain and France and other powers, and just go to the meaning, but Germany, which is familiar with the northwest, sensitively believes that the northwest is not so simple, and the reason why he will do this must be some kind of purpose.
Facts have also proved this, Wang Erniu's arrogance when he arrived, directly on the front-line battlefield, all represent confidence, when Turkey was unwilling to let the Chinese enter the front line, for fear of problems, the German side, almost single-handedly pushed the Chinese into the three cities headed by the Ioannina Fortress, and even at the risk of danger, specially sent personnel, nominally liaison, in fact, to observe some actions of the Northwest Army at close range.
Since the Northwest intends to interfere with Turkey, it has no intention of hiding it from Germany, the sniper rifle is just an idea, for the world's industrial powers, it is not very difficult, but it is not just about performance and stability, they generously let the Germans come to see, and even invited them to discuss, the specific tactics are good or bad.
The battle reports in front and the information from the Germans' own channels proved the strength of the Northwest Army, with a team of less than 500 people, divided into three cities, with 500 troops to resist the attack of three countries, close to 100,000 people, such a miraculous effect, shocked them, fascinated them, the key combat effectiveness is to take a sniper rifle.
