The sudden appearance of the Prussian First Army put the Austrians in a desperate situation at once. The Austrians stopped the attack on the Second Army in a panic, and at the same time sent lightly armed troops to seize some key positions in the rear to secure the way for the retreat of the army.

But where is it so easy to withdraw from the ongoing battle? As for the use of lightly armed troops to seize key positions, some of the key positions that were a little farther away, the light troops had not yet arrived, they had already been occupied by the Prussians, and in the closer positions, the Austrians, who had just occupied favorable terrain but had not had time to build any fortifications, were quickly beaten back by the Prussian heavy artillery fire, and the Prussians used a large number of steel artillery, which weighed much lighter than the Napoleonic guns, and completely kept up with the advance of the infantry.

When the Austrians withdrew their main forces from the siege of the Prussian Second Army and were ready to take advantage of the fact that the Prussian First Army had not yet built fortifications and hurriedly launched a counterattack, the Prussian Second Army, which was about to die, suddenly rushed out and counterattacked.

Anyway, by the time the Austrian army was in good gear and ready to counterattack, well, the Prussian First Army had at least set up barbed wire or something, and although the trenches were not deep, they could dodge bullets by squatting in them. What the? Shrapnel on the cannon with a shrapnel? This method is good, as long as the shrapnel can explode over the trench with a high trajectory, the killing effect on the enemy in the trench is absolutely good. It's just that in order to hit such a high trajectory, you have to first build a special artillery position, well, the main thing is to have a slope with a suitable angle, because the elevation angle of the Napoleonic gun is not enough, you can't hit such a high trajectory.

So the Austrians, while charging the heights occupied by the Prussians with infantry, hastened to build artillery positions that fit the needs. The impact effect of the infantry was not good, although they also killed some Prussians, and used the blasting canisters produced by the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company to blow up several barbed wires, which fully proved that the products of the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company were reasonably designed, had outstanding performance, reasonable price, were easy to use, safe and reliable, and were really essential supplies for home travel, murder and arson.

However, in the process of breaking through the barbed wire, the Prussians also used rifles from MacDonald's Infantry Weapons Company that used wireless gunpowder and magazines to tell the Austrians what it means to shoot accurately, reload quickly, and be lethal...... In short, it is to tell the Austrians, what is called to teach you to be a new person in minutes.

Having managed to rush through the barbed wire, the Prussians immediately threw a large number of grenades from the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company like rain. MacDonald Infantry Weapons' latest integrated offensive and defensive grenade, using prefabricated fragmentation and steel ball jackets, can produce hundreds of pieces of shrapnel after explosion, and the maximum killing distance of shrapnel is up to 35 meters. Under the blow of defensive grenades that rained down, the Austrians, although they also took the pill, were defeated.

Fortunately, however, the positions of the artillerymen were finally constructed, and the Austrians pushed the artillery up and prepared to attack the Prussians on the heights. There was also a danger that the Prussian artillery might fight back. However, the Prussian cannons can't hit so far, cannons? I don't think we have time to deploy to the high ground yet.

However, the facts made the Austrians quite desperate. As soon as the cannon was in place, the Prussian shells fell with a whirl, first the shrapnel washed the ground, hitting a large area of Austrian artillery, and then a large number of solid shells fell, damaging a lot of Austrian artillery.

"How could they drag the cannon to the high ground in such a short time? It's not scientific! "An Austrian artillery officer, tears are about to flow.

How could the Prussians drag the cannon to the heights so quickly? The reason is simple: the Prussians used steel breech-loading rifled guns produced by Krupp Steel with some of its own shares, exchanged for cannon steel technology from MacDonald Steel and a full set of patents for MacDonald's infantry weapons' new artillery. Because the strength of steel is much greater than that of bronze, the barrel and other stressed parts can be made thinner and thinner, and the specific gravity of steel is already smaller than that of bronze, this gun is of course much lighter than the Austrian Napoleonic gun, and the overall weight is only a little more than a third of it. In addition, when designing, Scrooge also referred to the 92 infantry gun of the Japanese army in World War II and the 1o7 mm rocket launcher, one of the three treasures of the later guerrillas, a design concept that can be quickly disassembled and assembled, so this kind of artillery can be quickly disassembled into several parts, and the largest and heaviest part, four people can also easily carry it with special tools. Therefore, it was much easier for this artillery to get to the high ground or something than the Austrians thought.

After the artillery was crushed, the attack naturally failed. The unrelenting Austrians organized another rare night attack, and as a result, the soldiers of the night attack stepped on the mines, and then the Prussian army, which was already fully in place, was beaten back with a salvo of hundreds of cannons and tens of thousands of rifles, and suffered heavy losses.

By the next day, the situation had collapsed, and the heavy artillery of the Prussian First Army was in place, and more than 700 artillery pieces of various types of the First and Second Army Corps opened fire on the Austrians, and the Austrians were in disarray. The Prussian artillery even used a new type of shell called a propaganda shell to break the morale of the Austrians.

"Your back road has been cut off, do you want to break through? You've been bleeding more than once in front of our lines more than once in the past few days. We've built several lines of defense along the main road, can you break through? If you avoid the main road and break through, your baggage and artillery will definitely not be carried, and how can you resist our pursuit under such circumstances? Can you run that far without a baggage......"

"Damn it!" General Benedek crumpled the leaflet into a mess. He knew that what was said in the leaflet was true, but because of this, and he was powerless, he was extremely angry.

……

"Mr. MacDonald, there is new intelligence that Prussia claims that they have surrounded two hundred thousand Austrian troops." Elizabeth said to Scrooge and handed him a copy of the text.

"The victory is decided, and the war is coming to an end." Scrooge looked at Wen Jiàn, and then said to Elizabeth, "Let Bond find a way to figure out the details of the battlefield." It is desirable to have depictions of the battle from officers to soldiers on both sides. This is very important for our products to be marketed. ”

"Okay. I'll go and inform him right away. Elizabeth nodded and walked out.

……

A few days later, the Austrians, exhausted by ammunition, left behind their baggage and artillery and began to break through. After paying a heavy price, most of the Austrians broke out of the encirclement, but they lost almost all their heavy weapons, and the formation of the army was almost completely disrupted. In the pursuit of the Prussian army afterwards, they paid a huge price, although out of more than 200,000 Austrian troops, 140,000 ran out. However, these armies have lost most of their weapons and are completely out of formation, and it will not be a short time before they can regain their combat effectiveness. And Austria now had no army to fight. So the old king, who was trembling, and the Junkers immediately went against the norm and called for the liberation of the whole of Germany.

……

"These Junker buns!" Dorothea furrowed her eyebrows, "They don't know that the French will interfere at once, and then the British won't be happy to see them annex Austria?" ”

"Don't worry, although there are a lot of native buns in Prussia, but with Bismarck and the crown prince, there will be no problem, they will accept it when they see it." Scrooge said nonchalantly, "Now it's important to promote our products next." Well, we want to report on this war and make our products a sign of high quality. You know, in the eyes of many Europeans, American goods are synonymous with low-end bad goods. We need to take advantage of the coverage of this war to change that perception, or at the very least, to make the MacDonald logo synonymous with high-quality products. ”

……

A few days later, the Prussians and Austria signed a peace treaty. The war is over.

Retrospective analyses of the war began to appear in various European newspapers. Before the war began, almost everyone thought it would be a difficult war, but Prussia defeated Austria in an almost one-sided manner. Why this is the case has become a key point of discussion in these newspapers.

And in these discussions, several companies "MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company", "MacDonald Wireless Communications Company", "MacDonald Steel Company" are repeatedly mentioned. Military experts are analyzing the key role played by MacDonald's wireless telegraphy in the command of the Prussian army, and they generally believe that without the support of radio, the Prussian First Army would not have been able to make such a turn in such a short period of time, let alone form an encirclement posture against the Austrians. "The use of radio has completely changed the mode of warfare, making the division of troops, which used to be taboo in soldiers, become a magic weapon for victory. It will greatly increase the control of the generals over the army, and it will be the beginning of a revolution. ”

And those soldiers who experienced the war were either admired or hated by the various weapons of the "MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company". But both admiration and hatred illustrate the key role that the American company's weapons played in the war.
