Kalius was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment: General Fang, what do you mean, do you think they still have the power to return to heaven We only relied on the strength of one division to defeat them with thirty or forty thousand people, think about it, General Zhang is leading two cavalry brigades, and at the same time there is an infantry division, such a powerful force, can the Zulu Kingdom with an empty hinterland still be able to stop General Zhang's army

Fang Huasheng shook his head with a wry smile, and replied: Kalius, if we thought that we couldn't defeat the Zulu Kingdom, we wouldn't have made this war proposal, it's not that we can't defeat them, but how do we need to be able to get the greatest reward at the lowest cost Do you think our heavy machine gun firepower is invincible in the world Under the blow of the artillery group with absolute superiority, our heavy machine guns are still not spared, and this time the Zulu army retreated only because they suffered a heavy blow in a hurry, and had to retreat temporarily, When they come to their senses, they will attack again, and then we won't have as much time as we have now

Kalius nodded slightly, what Fang Huasheng said was not unreasonable, of course, he didn't think that the Zulu people could do anything to themselves, and if they wanted to take down Essomolo, it was impossible

Fang Huasheng saw that Kalius was a little unconcerned, and he didn't say much, after all, some things can not be convincing just by words and reasoning, and they must be convincing through bloody lessons. Fastest update

Kalius, no matter what, it is necessary to strengthen the defenses, after all, there are 40,000 Zulu troops on the opposite side, and they are also equipped with a large number of artillery, although their artillery is not as advanced as ours, but it is enough to resist our artillery, and he ordered the troops to continue to strengthen our fortifications and prepare to continue the battle below.

Fang Huasheng said.

Kalius nodded and replied, "Okay, since General Fang is not at ease, then I will let the brothers work hard and continue to strengthen the defense."

Three days, said to have passed, and for three days, the German-Austrian Federation Army continued to strengthen its defenses, waiting for the Zulu army to advance again.

Three days, only three days have passed.

The Zulu army, which had been rested, had recovered both physically and morale to a certain extent, and this time Evans personally took the lead and led the army to Esomollo

On a high ground, Evans and several staff officers worked with Nick Amger to discuss how to effectively combat the heavy machine-gun fire of the German-Austrian Federal Army in the next battle.

Evans snorted coldly: Nick, next gather all our artillery firepower, and carry out fierce artillery bombardment towards their forward positions, don't spare the shells, their heavy machine gun fire has been exposed, even if there are some changes, it will not be very big, after all, the key position of the position, there must be heavy machine gun fire for defense, in one day, after blowing up their heavy machine gun position to the sky, send 3,000 troops to launch a feint attack on the opposite side of the German and Austrian federal army positions, remember, it is a feint, Not a real attack, a tentative attack, to attract the opponent's firepower, as long as their firepower is exposed, then launch an artillery attack again, carry out a key blow In addition, order the two cavalry to move towards the flank of the opponent's position, wait for the order, once the opponent's position is flawed, use the cavalry assault to storm the flank defense of the German and Austrian federal army

Yes, General Evans

Nick agreed, turned around, and said to Amjie: Order, all artillery immediately into battle, and carry out a fierce artillery bombardment towards the opponent's forward heavy machine gun position, knocking out their heavy machine guns

Yes, General Nick

Amjie turned around and went down to convey the order, and above the artillery position of the Zulu Kingdom, the artillerymen moved nervously, and one artillery after another pushed up the battle line, and began to launch a fierce offensive towards the position of the German and Austrian federal army

Boom, boom, boom

A dense burst of cannon fire rang out over the Zulu Kingdom's positions.

Evans flew up with the shells, his eyes looked at the Boer positions in the distance, and he almost blew up his lungs, this is especially where the artillery has hit the shells, even if they can't accurately fall on the opponent's forward position, at least they have to hit the opponent's other positions, look at these shells, some of them have hit the back of the opponent's position, and the most annoying thing is that some of them have fallen straight down only five or six hundred meters away from their own position, which is a complete waste of shells

Bastard bastard damn it

Evans looked at Nick angrily and roared, Nick, this is your brave and good Zulu warriors, fuck it, any soldier under Lao Tzu comes out, and the cannonballs that shoot out with their eyes closed are better than them, they are not as good as a group of blind people, not as good as a group of blind people, you are wasting our cannonballs, wasting the cannonballs we helped you, and these cannonballs are all pounds

Nick and Amjie's faces were full of embarrassment, and Evans, who was not obedient, was furious, it was really his own artillery that he was not angry, this artillery was so unlevel, he even blushed when he saw it

This General Evans, our soldiers have just received artillery training for less than a month and began to march in the direction of Esomollo, and some of the artillerymen have not even had time to fire live ammunition, they have just listened to a few lessons from your instructors, they have never seen artillery before, and there is no way to do it

Nick whispered with an innocent face.

Damn it

Evans roared angrily, he also knew that the Zulu people's training time was too short, such a short training time, even the imperial recruits who had just stepped into the barracks were not as good as the imperial recruits, what else could he do Originally, he and the War Department were unwilling to start a war in such a hurry, but they were forced by the queen and the prime minister to have no choice, so they had to start this war to cooperate with the ongoing multi-party mediation negotiations in the Chinese Empire.

General Evans, what should we do now, even if we are in a hurry, we can't immediately improve the military quality of these artillerymen

Nick snorted.

Evans slowly closed his eyes, and said helplessly: Order, the entire British instructor corps will all go to the artillery position, take over the artillery position, command those Zulu artillery to fight, aim for me, and be sure to knock out the opponent's heavy machine gun position, at least hit it hard

This is also a way out of the question, the entire instructor corps, a total of more than a hundred people, some of these people are artillery instructors, some are just ordinary infantry instructors, and they are also not artillerymen, but they are better than these Zulu artillerymen, they will use it, they have never eaten pork, and they have always seen pigs run

To be continued.
