Chapter 1293: Both Lose

The German-Austrian Federacy and the Zulu cavalry fought fiercely in the artillery position, and finally drove the Zulu cavalry back. Vertices M. updates the fastest

When cleaning up the battlefield, it was discovered that the infantry battalion on the artillery position had 480 people killed in battle, 300 people were killed, more than 100 people were seriously wounded, and only 20 or 30 people could continue to maintain combat strength, and the entire infantry battalion could be said to be completely annihilated!

That's not all, two heavy machine gun companies of 200 people, casualties have reached more than 60 people, and even heavy machine guns, three of them have been damaged by the Zulu cavalry, and they can't be repaired in a short time, more than 1,000 officers and men of the artillery regiment, more than 300 casualties, heavy casualties!

Especially the artillery regiment, which is the middle combat power of the first division, Fang Huasheng's face turned pale, and he roared angrily: "Du Qiang! Damn, how the hell did you lead an artillery regiment! What a good job you've done! Letting the opposing cavalry approach the position so easily, are you a dead man? ”

Du Qiang's face was flushed, he had participated in more than 50 battles, he had followed the emperor since he was in Baoding Town, and he had never missed a move, but this time he capsized in this small river ditch, which is really unforgivable!

"Commander, what did you say, I lost my face, I personally found it back, fuck, this time it's too embarrassing, there is not even a star in the sky today, plus the smoke of gunpowder, the line of sight is extremely poor, we are attacking the Zulu position with all our strength, the rumbling of the artillery can not hear the movement of the cavalry at all, and when we find out the lineage, the Zulu cavalry is already close at hand, even if the heavy machine gun even stops with all its might, it is useless......"

"Damn stupid! Don't you know how to send scouts? Knowing that the line of sight is extremely poor, you are not ready in advance! ”

Fang Huasheng roared angrily.

Kalius on the side also had a bad face, an infantry battalion, all reimbursed like this, how not to be distressed.

However, no matter what, Kalius couldn't watch Fang Huasheng deal with Du Qiang, after all, he was a guest and came to help, and it was already rare to be able to fight to this extent.

"General Fang, okay, Commander Du has also done his best, look at the cavalry corpses on the battlefield, the Zulu people died no less than us, there are six or seven hundred people, this cavalry regiment of theirs can be regarded as scrapped, and it is impossible to launch a surprise attack on us......"

Kalius reassured.

"Kalius, I haven't said anything about you yet, how did you gather information before the war? Even the other party dispatched cavalry this time, such important information, you didn't even collect it! They killed and wounded six or seven hundred or even a thousand, what does it have to do with us, what I want is that our German-Austrian federal army cannot die for no reason! As a general, you must take responsibility for the life and death of your soldiers! The head of intelligence of the 1st Division immediately removed me and replaced me! Du Qiang, hand over your position as the commander of the artillery regiment, return to me to assist me in commanding the operation, and from now on, Xiao Chen will take over the affairs of the artillery regiment! We must avenge this revenge! And, Kaleus, immediately send scouts, scout carefully, and see if there are any Zulu cavalry left near us! Damn it! ”

Fang Huasheng's face was pale, he was really angry, if this was transmitted back to the empire, he would be considered a shame to go home, and he was actually attacked by the Zulu barbarians! You must know that the Chinese People's Army is the ancestor of the raid war!

Kalius nodded, and shouted in a deep voice: "Order, immediately remove the deputy chief of staff of the division, Jagru, and send him back to Pretoria, waiting for further disposal, Gamma, you are personally responsible for all the intelligence affairs of the first division!" ”

Chief of Staff Gamma hurriedly nodded in agreement, with a wry smile on his face, Yagru is unlucky, he has such a thing, originally according to the original army style, such a thing, just talk about it, but Fang Huasheng even removed the position of artillery commander Du Qiang, if the German and Austrian federal army is still indifferent, then it really can't be said.

"Xiao Chen, immediately start to rectify the artillery regiment, the entire artillery position is advanced one kilometer, divided into two, one in the west and one in the east, redeploy, Kalius once again allocated an infantry battalion to guard the safety of the artillery position and strengthen the defense of the artillery position!"

Fang Huasheng said, turned around and left, not stopping on the artillery position for half a moment.

Fang Huasheng and Kalius were uncomfortable, and on the other side, on the Zulu position, they were also very uncomfortable.

When they returned, the cavalry regiment of 1,200 men had only four or five hundred people, and more than half of the casualties were close to two-thirds, and the powerful heavy machine gun fire dealt a very huge blow to the cavalry.

Looking at the returning cavalry, Evans was full of shock and shouted, "No, this is your Zulu cavalry? More than 1,000 people went to attack the artillery positions, you are so miserable! You bunch of rice buckets! ”

The commander of the cavalry, Duye Duni, turned pale, and roared angrily: "Bastard! Evans, do you have the ability to let your British cavalry raid the artillery positions of the Boers, and brave that iron lump to launch a surprise attack? Fuck, there is not only an infantry battalion protecting the artillery position, but also more than ten heavy machine guns in defense, and finally broke through the opponent's heavy machine gun fire, and we ushered in the opponent's infantry battalion to the death, just broke through the position of the infantry battalion, the opponent's heavy machine gun fire formed a secondary defense, the powerful heavy machine gun fire is too powerful, where is the cavalry such a flesh and blood can withstand it? Even so, our brave Zulu cavalry fighters wiped out the opponent's infantry battalion and at the same time inflicted heavy damage on the opponent's artillery positions! You don't have a backache when you stand and talk! ”

Evans's face turned red, Duyeduni's rebuttal was not unreasonable, what he said was too hurtful, after all, the Zulu cavalry had severely damaged the opponent's artillery position and relieved the pressure on his own artillery position.

"I'm sorry, Duyeduni, I was too anxious just now, the cavalry casualties were too heavy, and I was too concerned about it, so I don't mind!"

Evans whispered.

Duye Duni snorted angrily, it was too bad, he had never encountered such a huge casualty since he joined the army, a cavalry tube suffered nearly two-thirds of the casualties, and the entire cavalry regiment had been greatly injured.

"The order goes down, early tomorrow morning, the artillery positions will again attack the opponent's frontal positions, and the cavalry regiment on the left flank will be ready to launch a surprise attack on the opponent's flank positions when the time is ripe to break through the direction of the Boers, and we must take Essomolo in the shortest possible time!"

Evans hit a soft nail and turned his head to Nick and shouted.
