The number of rebels is actually not much, there are still three or four thousand people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the number is small, compared to the defenders of Sanssouci Palace, the number of rebels has an absolute advantage.

In fact, in the era of hot weapons, the number of people is no longer the main factor determining victory or defeat, but the quality of soldiers and the degree of modernization of weapons and equipment are the main factors determining victory or defeat.

In this regard, the Lanfang First Brigade undoubtedly occupies an absolute advantage.

The density of oak forests on the periphery of Sanssouci is not large, and the oak forests that used to grow here are extremely lush, each one is hundreds of years old, and those trees that are a little older need several people to hold hands to hug them.

It was because of the excellent growth that the former oak forest was cut down and then Sanssouci was built, and now the oak trees of Sanssouci were replanted later.

The artificially planted woods have a characteristic, the spacing between the rows between the trees is basically standard, and the rows and rows are also very neat, such woods actually do not play much of a cover role for the attacker, but it is quite beneficial for the defense of the defenders.

After the flare was fired, it was suspended by a small parachute and slowly fell downward, and during the time when the flare fell, the ground was really like daylight, and the attacking rebel soldiers were in full view.

In order to identify themselves, the rebels still use the old-fashioned helmets from the world war, which has a spear-pointed ornament in the center of the top, which does seem to add a bit of majestic temperament, but it is also very easy to distinguish in battle.

It was so easy to distinguish that many German soldiers used mesh cloth to cover their helmets during the World War. The current rebels obviously don't have this consideration, so those helmets have become the most obvious markers of the Lanfang soldiers.

The rebels have no artillery, and those explosive packs are estimated to be not many, and they have not had time to use them since the attack was launched, so the rebels' attack methods are extremely monotonous, and there are not many tricks except for crowd tactics.

For the soldiers of the 1st Brigade, which is equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, the tactics of defending the crowd are really easy and enjoyable.

The soldiers of the First Brigade still did not hold a big position, and each soldier prepared at least two or more individual bunkers, which used to be a change of place with one shot, but now because the weapons are more advanced, they can shoot a cartridge of bullets and then transfer, which gives the rebels greater damage.

The first three attacks were all handled by the soldiers of the First Brigade so easily and happily.

This time, the rebels were clearly using their blood, and when the flares were fired into the sky, the sharp-eyed soldiers noticed that there were several black things flying in the sky, and there seemed to be a fuse that had been lit on them.

Almost instantly, seven or eight soldiers warned at the same time: "Explosives packs, anti-artillery—"

Strictly speaking, the explosives pack is not a shell, the lethality of this thing depends on the shock wave, and there is no such thing as shrapnel killing.

Even so, if the amount of explosives is large enough, it can still cause great damage.

Lan Fang's "Infantry Drill Code" has a set of standard regulations for anti-artillery bombardment, as long as you follow it, you can minimize the lethality of shells, and the soldiers of the First Brigade are all elite level, and they are already familiar with this set of drill codes.

As a result, the damage caused by these packs is extremely limited.

The oak forest must have branches, although these oak trees are not big enough, but the branches and foliage are already quite lush, and two explosive packs did not even fall, they were directly blocked by the branches, turning into two incomparable large fireworks.

Only one explosive bag fell on the position of the 1st Brigade, one soldier was directly killed by the impact before he had time to dodge, and two soldiers were affected, with a slight concussion, and at the same time their internal organs were injured and incapacitated.

This was even the first case of casualties of the 1st Brigade after the start of the fighting.

In the face of the rebels' attacks, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade did not have time to share the same hatred of the enemy, but kept repeating the actions of aiming, shooting, aiming, shooting, and giving the rebels the greatest damage.

In the face of the accurate and fierce fire of the soldiers of the 1st Brigade, it was impossible for the rebels to break through the ring defense line of the soldiers of the 1st Brigade without the help of heavy equipment such as tanks.

Waiting for the mortars to join the battle, the rebel attack finally retreated again.

Lan Fang's mortar unit has always used "three rapid fires", whether there are or not, first fire a few shots.

The artillerymen of the 1st Brigade were even more ferocious, they simply ignored the drill code, and came up with three three-shot rapid fire, and 12 mortars in a short period of time played the level of fire of an artillery regiment, completely crushing the confidence of the rebels.

"No pursuit, defend in place, no pursuit, defend in place—" The officer's prompt immediately sounded on the position.

In fact, many soldiers have already hung bayonets on their rifles and are preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

The task of the first brigade is to defend, and it will be considered successful until dawn as long as reinforcements arrive, as for how to annihilate the rebels, it is the business of William III, which is beyond the scope of work of the first brigade of Lanfang.

Reinforcements should not be far away, after the fourth attack is repulsed, the sky has already appeared white, at most half an hour, the sky will be bright, and then it will be the end for these rebels.

The night gave the rebels enough cover, and if it was daytime, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade were even sure not to let the rebels get within 300 meters, and these rebels did not have to think about withdrawing, and the soldiers of the 1st Brigade could chase them out.

The quality of the German soldiers is actually not bad, but compared to the soldiers of the First Brigade who have to carry out 50 kilometers of armed cross-country every week, it is still a bit insufficient, whether it is the level of equipment or the intensity of training, the soldiers of the First Brigade of Lanfang are second to none in this era.

This is also the reason why Qin Zhiyuan dared to cross Siberia to Europe with 500 people.

By daylight, although the reinforcements had not yet arrived, the rebels had retreated, and Roy commanded his troops to clean up the battlefield, and it was not long before the battle report was delivered in person.

"It's unbelievable, in two and a half hours, your troops killed more than 870 rebels, which is more than we achieved in the previous four hours, and I noticed that your troops don't seem to suffer any casualties, are your soldiers all iron-clad?" Roy's expression was a little glazed.

Roy knew that the combat effectiveness of the Lanfang army was outstanding, but he didn't expect it to be outstanding to this extent, the Lanfang soldiers were less than 500 people in total, and they were carrying the crazy attack of an enemy three or four times their size, and while killing almost twice as many enemies as themselves, they did not have many casualties, which made Roy feel really shocked, a shock that was difficult to describe in words.

"It's not iron, there are still casualties, we have three soldiers killed in the battle, and 17 soldiers were wounded at the same time, which is already a heavy loss-" Dong Zishi mercilessly sprinkled a handful of salt on Roy's wounds.

In the previous battle, Roy's troops had suffered more than half of the casualties, but the results were not as many as those of the first brigade of Lanfang.

Dong Zishi is right, since its establishment, the Lanfang First Brigade has indeed not experienced any major battles, and naturally there are not many casualties, and this time it is indeed considered "heavy casualties".

At this moment, Rummenigge came and reported: "The identities of the rebels have been confirmed, they are the grenadier regiment of King Friedrich Wilhelm I, and there are also some units that appear to be reserves, and the identities of those reservists are being verified, and it has been confirmed that these people are related to Prince Urko." ”

Rummenigge doesn't say much, but it contains a lot of information.

At present, there are only 100,000 troops in Germany, and in addition to these professional soldiers, there are still some reserves, and even in the small kingdoms, there are some private armies supported by nobles, which are not counted among the 100,000 people.

This gave some people an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it was obvious that this was a conspiracy against Qin Zhiyuan.

Many German aristocrats know that Qin Zhiyuan and Wilhelm III have a very good relationship, if Qin Zhiyuan has an accident in Germany, then Wilhelm III will not be able to get rid of it anyway, and even the French will blame Wilhelm III for this.

It's a pity that the combat effectiveness of the Lanfang First Brigade is really unexpectedly strong.

"Block this news, no one is allowed to spread it." Suddenly the voice of William III came from the door.

"Qin, I'm really sorry." The first thing William III said when he saw Qin Zhiyuan was to apologize.

"Needless to say I'm sorry, I've already said it, no matter what, I'll be on your side." Qin Zhiyuan didn't mean to blame.

It's only been two days since I saw him, William III looks a little more tired, the gray hair on his sideburns has quietly increased, his mental state is not wrong, his eyes are still bright, and his voice is full of energy.

"Thank you, there will always be some people who will not be willing to be lonely, their end has come, and now it is only the last struggle." William III's tone was cold, and it smelled of a ruined ship.

"Hehe, send them to hell, don't be soft, this is not a game, there is no chance to do it again." Qin Zhiyuan reminded casually.

"I understand, I'm relieved that you're okay here, you don't know, I heard that Sanssouci Palace was attacked, I was really anxious, and I ordered the troops to set off before dawn, and it was still a step too late to hurry." William III was a bit of a misnomer.

"Hey, hey, what's a step late? It's not too late, I'm fine. Qin Zhiyuan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

It's normal to be late, the police always arrive at the last minute.
