Chapter 1289: Sharp Counterattack
The instructor corps brought by Evans quickly took over the entire artillery position, two people were responsible for one artillery, one was responsible for measuring, one was responsible for firing, more than a hundred people, and soon took over more than sixty artillery pieces, as for the remaining twenty or so guns, they were handed over to the best gunners on the artillery position, of course, the best gunners were not at a good level, and the rest of the artillery could only be responsible for carrying shells and loading shells. Fastest updates
In the hands of the British, the artillery was still the same artillery, but the shells flew to the forward positions of the German-Austrian Federal Army, as if they had eyes.
Haha, this group of rubbish, Lao Tzu is lying here, and they can't beat Lao Tzu
The regimental commander, Luke, leaned into the trench fortifications and laughed.
Just laughing, on the opposite position, there was a dense artillery sound again, followed by a dense explosion, but this shelling, compared with the previous shelling, has undergone earth-shaking changes, almost all the shells fell on the forward position of the German and Austrian Federal Army, and the entire forward position was blown over, and the violent explosion made the sand and stones fly wildly, shooting in all directions, and the waves of air and even the oppressive German and Austrian Federal Army soldiers were out of breath
Ahem what's going on, fuck it, damn Zulus, how did their shelling suddenly have a crosshair
Luke was knocked over by an explosion and staggered to his feet, coughing and screaming angrily.
At this time, there was a trace of panic on the obvious forward position, after all, the German-Austrian Federal Army had only been systematically trained for more than half a year, although it had some foundation before, but it was far from being an elite soldier, and it was caught off guard in the face of the sudden and accurate artillery bombardment
Coincidentally, it is estimated that the Zulu people are blind cats who have met dead mice
Luke was still thinking about luck when the second wave of shells from the Zulu artillery position had flown over
Boom, boom, boom
Another wave of explosions rang out over the positions of the German-Austrian federal army
Luke closed his eyes, specially, it was definitely not a coincidence, the dog said, how did the Zulu artillery suddenly become so sharp, even compared to his own artillery, it was slightly better
The order was given to all the soldiers on the front line to immediately conceal and defend with all their might to prevent the Zulus from launching a surprise attack
Luke hysterically conveyed the order.
On the opposite side, the Zulu artillery positions were bombarded one after another, and the entire German-Austrian positions became stormy and completely enveloped by the explosions under the fierce bombardment
Ahem General Fang, General Fang, what the hell is going on with this, why did the Zulu shelling suddenly become so powerful
Kalius coughed as he ran in front of Fang Huasheng and asked hurriedly.
Fang Huasheng's face also became solemn, it was impossible, it was absolutely impossible for the Zulu artillery to change so significantly in a short period of time, this change was too great
Kalius, if I'm not mistaken, there should be an elite artillery that has taken over the Zulu artillery position, these elite artillery, although compared with the elite artillery of our Chinese Empire, there is still a significant gap, but it is already very powerful, we have encountered a strong enemy
Fang Huasheng replied in a deep voice.
The Zulus never had artillery, and their artillery was nothing more than the elite artillery that the British had given them not long ago
Kaleus exclaimed eagerly.
Fang Huasheng's heart was shocked, is it possible for the British to directly participate in the war, such a stable artillery bombardment can only be done by elite armies like Britain and France
The order was sent down, and the three artillery battalions concentrated all their artillery firepower to launch a fierce attack on the Zulu artillery positions, suppressing the Zulu artillery fire, and again mobilizing a regiment to support the first line of defense, mobilizing four heavy machine gun batteries, moving towards the two flanks, and strengthening the protection of the flank positions
If it was just the Zulu attack, Fang Huasheng was not worried, these Zulu people fought alone, and there were still two times to launch a cold weapon war, but the large-scale hot weapon military tactics, they had not yet started, Fang Huasheng did not take it to heart, but now if the British directly participated in the war, Fang Huasheng had to be cautious, the British launched wars year after year, and the generals in the army had extremely rich combat experience, which was not so easy to deal with.
At the sound of an order, the three artillery battalions of the German-Austrian Federal Army were all thrown into battle, and the battle instantly became fierce, and the three artillery battalions of the German-Austrian Federal Army, fifty or sixty artillery pieces, and nearly 100 artillery pieces of the Zulu people engaged in a tragic confrontation
Shells continued to weave through the sky, falling on the opposite position, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, the scorching sun rose into the air, and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air
The British thought that with their own artillery technology, coupled with a large number of artillery, they could completely suppress the artillery fire of the opposite German and Austrian federal army, and then, their idea was wrong, waiting for the German and Austrian federal army artillery to start counterattacking, although the number of artillery was far inferior to their own, but the threat brought by this shell was not much weaker than the Zulu artillery position, but it won't be because you are a British, so I won't beat you, even if you are experienced, there are British instructors who were injured by the explosion, and even the unlucky ones were seriously injured by the explosion
Fortunately, the British are not stupid, with rich experience, dodge in time, and then launch a counterattack, the exchange of fire between the two sides is more tragic, casualties have begun to rise, the artillery positions of the German and Austrian federal army are also having a hard time, the British shells are down, these recruits are inexperienced, they don't know how to dodge at all, and the casualties are much worse than the British army
I'm x his uncle's
Even Fang Huasheng began to burst into foul language, the opponent's artillery offensive was too strong, and it was too difficult to suppress the opponent's artillery attack
General Fang, we can't continue like this, we must think of a proper way, otherwise, our artillery casualties will be too great
Kalius's head was already sweating profusely, and he no longer had the proud look he had just now, and in front of the powerful British army instructor corps, the gap was immediately revealed.
The order was given to the artillery regiment to retreat from the artillery positions, retreat two kilometers to the rear, and again launch an attack on the opposing artillery positions
Fang Huasheng shouted.
Fall back
Kalius was stunned and said: General Fang, this is just the beginning, let's retreat too much
To be continued.
