Chapter 21: The Flames of War (2)

The idea is always good, but the reality is cruel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEvery bad idea will look like a good idea before it gets bad. His Excellency Lieutenant General Wadsey was full of confidence in the German soldiers, who had already proven themselves in the Franco-Prussian War, as the most combat-ready army in the world.

However, the so-called world's strongest army has not achieved greater results. The Germans' tactical maneuvers of fire support, infantry deployment, gun platoon, and bayonet charge were all done very smoothly, and it was evident that they had been trained hard. However, in this era when defense is stronger than offense, the harder they train and the stronger their will, the more ugly they will die.

On the position that had been bombarded by heavy artillery for three days, the number of heavy machine guns that could be used by the Black Dragon Society was already less than thirty. The other heavy machine guns were either blown into parts by artillery fire, or they had various malfunctions and could not be used properly. However, it was these 30 or so heavy machine guns that dealt an almost devastating blow to the attacking German army.

The Germans' offensive formation was much more dispersed than the formation they had in training, presumably because they had been taught how to behave by the Maxim heavy machine gun a few times before. But the strict and demanding style made them still line up neatly, but the interval was a little larger. Then the infantrymen who charged in this way were beaten into a sieve by the side-fire of the heavy machine guns, and by the time they had to be on the ground, the artillery that had been hidden for a long time poured four or five hundred shells on them in a minute.

Volleys of shotgunfire used to be the biggest threat to line infantry, but now grenades filled with new explosives are more threatening than shotguns. The coalition infantry, who was too heavy to raise their heads by heavy machine gun fire, lay on the ground and was cleared by rounds of grenades. Almost half of the infantry companies that attacked were disabled. The remaining half also suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers on the Black Dragon Society's side cheered loudly for the victory of this tactic, especially the guys from the artillery unit, who were triumphantly boasting about their results after pushing the cannon back to their hideout at a rapid pace. As for the riflemen who played soy sauce all the way, at first they were leisurely playing shooting games with their rifles in the rear, and then they watched in amazement as the flying guys in the punishment camp who smoked big cigarettes and fought hand-to-hand with the coalition infantry who finally rushed into the position.

Angry scolding and screams of different words continued to sound, and on the bloody battlefield, soldiers on both sides tried everything they could to kill the enemy with red eyes. From time to time, the man who was very happy in body and mind rushed into the ranks of the foreigners with bags of explosives, and sent themselves and the enemy to the western heavens.

Around the battlefield, several cavalry battles of company size have broken out. The cavalry units of both sides fought constantly in order to gain the initiative on the battlefield. After a day of soldiers on both sides fighting like wild boars in a quagmire, the coalition side can say that they have eliminated the soldiers on the opposing positions several times. The Black Dragon Society side can also claim that they have achieved a tactical victory, and the dead are all cannon fodder anyway, and they will be pulled down quickly.

For those who survived after participating in hand-to-hand combat, Chen Cheng still sent someone to contain them, and the minor and serious injuries received due treatment. The corresponding bounty, the more tobacco and big fish and meat promised in advance also satisfied them as much as possible. Big fish and meat are more difficult to get at this time of war, but there is still a lot of canned horse meat in stock. Jars of horse meat are tossed in a boiling country, and after potatoes, cabbage leaves, tomatoes, and all sorts of messy ingredients are added, it's a supreme delicacy.

"This thing can also be called delicious?" The girl who was deceived into tasting it said angrily: "This is simply the dark food of the level of looking up at the starry sky!" ”

"Well, if you consider that the poor people of this era have difficulty eating meat several times a year, I don't think these things deserve the name of food." Chen Cheng drank the suspicious-looking soup without changing his face, "Besides, this pot of food contains all kinds of ingredients that the human body needs, including proteins, fats, and many amino acids.........."

"Bah, baba," the girl looked at the contents of the cauldron with disgust, and said, "I really admire you, you can eat such things." Well, didn't you say you were going to consume all of these people? Why do you still give them such precious medicines, and get so many cans for them to eat? Hmm, I seem to think that canned horse meat will produce toxins after being left for a long time.........."

The girl rushed up, grabbed Chen Cheng's neck and shook it vigorously, "Hey, Ah Cheng, hurry up and spit out those things, I don't want to wait for you to wash your stomach!" ”

"Bastard," Chen Cheng struggled to escape from under the claws of the female devil, "Don't make excuses to pinch me, with our physique, even if we eat poison, it may not be okay, and where will there be such a thing as food poisoning!" ”

"Oh, too," the girl smiled, putting her hands behind her back and asking, "Then tell me why you put all the effort into helping the wounded soldiers?" Didn't we say we'd consume them all? ”

Chen Cheng was silent for a while before he raised his head and said, "I can't be so ruthless." Anyway, they're fighting for us, no matter what happened to them before, and no matter what happens to them in the future, at least now they're fighting hard for this country........ Well, it may be inappropriate to say that the country is inappropriate, then it is better for us to fight. In that case, I can't bear to watch them die wailing in their pain because of lack of medical care. ”

"Hmph, Ah Cheng, your woman's kindness is overflowing again." The girl put on a straight face, "You know, these people have a deep hatred with us, and now they don't bite back, it's because they don't have that ability, not because they don't have that idea." ”

"I know what you're saying, but I still want to give them a chance. Although life is cheap, it should not be completely ignored. ”

"Hmph, that's up to you. Anyway, even if these scraps want to rebel, they don't have the ability. Even if I had that ability, I could easily push them to the ground. ”

His Excellency Lin Mengchu said this, she didn't care about the lives of those people at all. It's best to die, and it's okay to survive some dead leftovers. But since Ah Cheng can't bear it, let him do it.
