Chapter 246: The Offensive Begins

"Regiment commander, General Wang Qiming ordered, after 10 minutes the artillery will start shelling, and after the artillery stops shelling, carry out an infantry onslaught on the perimeter of the Tucson fortress!" Apardo, who had dismounted from his horse, ran up to Mondora and stood up and reported. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"yes, I see."

After speaking, Mondola looked at the Japanese servant army who had already stood in the front line, and couldn't help but feel a kind of sigh of creation, once upon a time, he was a member of the crowd standing in the front row.

When I thought about the battle when the Han Empire was just founded, when was it not the soldiers of the Indian race who served as the vanguard of such huge losses?

At that time, Mondola was most afraid and envious of the Han soldiers in the rear who were holding flintlock pistols and aiming at their buttocks......

"I didn't expect that after coming back from Japan, we Indian soldiers can easily stay behind as a warlord, the expansion of the empire, the benefits brought to me and other soldiers are really comprehensive!"

Only those who have experienced being cannon fodder in person can experience the rarity of lying in the rear and being a warlord!

The Japanese servants went up to the officers and down to the soldiers, and the feeling of the Tiger Wolf Marines who did not have to go to the battlefield in the back row was diametrically opposed!

After all, in the Japanese servant army, whether it is Indians or Han Chinese, they are all high-level officers, even in the war of this era, there is no need to be ahead of the soldiers!

In fact, during the period of queuing to be shot, most of the officers who took the lead were non-commissioned officers and lieutenant-level officers, and of course, if it was a cavalry unit with a generally higher military rank, there would also be times when colonel-level officers took the lead in the charge!

Therefore......

"There is a cowardly and incompetent white guy ahead, and the time has come to embody the courage of our yellow race, for the sake of the empire, for the honor, to kill the enemy!"

As the roar of artillery fell, the senior officers in the first division of the Japanese servant army, the Han people, simply carried out the pre-war mobilization in Japanese, which was not too proficient, although it was not very useful, but at least it should be interesting, anyway, what really made this group of Japanese jealous was the undisguised warlord!

Of course, the previous overwhelming artillery bombardment, and the human parts that were blown away from time to time in the opposite fortifications, also gave these Japanese servant soldiers a little confidence!

Mondora They all know that after pulling the Japanese servant army to the mainland of the Americas, the morale of the Japanese servant army dropped very much, and the unfamiliar environment was used as cannon fodder, and it was very reluctant to be able to go to the battlefield, if it weren't for the more than 100,000 troops watching behind, I'm afraid that these Japanese soldiers would have mutinied!

When these Japanese joined the army, they were not told that they would go thousands of miles away to fight for the Han people, and the opponent was the rumored very powerful white army!

This group of Japanese servant soldiers, looking at the shattered outer defense line in front of them, which was bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces and several salvos, slowly launched a bayonet assault forward, driven by senior officers!

Lined up to be shot?

What are you kidding, is it not fast enough for this kind of army, whose morale is about to plummet to the bottom, to let them play with the Spanish regular army behind the breast wall trench?

The British's invincible record of firing a volley from 30 meters in the open has proved the ironclad fact that it takes more courage to straighten their backs and take a shot than hand-to-hand combat!

Under the call of the hardcore Japanese traitors, that is, the grassroots officers of the servant army, the momentum of tens of thousands of people charging still raised the morale of the Japanese servant army a lot.

Teams and collectives are the best tactics to give soldiers courage in war!

Before the large-scale popularization of machine guns, the reason why the army had to form a dense formation every time it charged was this principle!

Everyone knows that people charge next to each other, whether it is a gun or a shell on the opposite side, the results will be quite gratifying, but no commander is willing to give up the dense charge, even in the era of the popularity of machine guns, the dense charge has been popular for a long time!

In the Russo-Japanese War that year, the Japanese pig tactics caused tons of casualties to their own side, and also made the gray cattle of the Russians tremble!

It is true that charging with a machine gun looks stupid and idiotic, but it is this kind of stupid behavior that makes people more easily afraid!

In fact, the number of casualties among soldiers during World War I could not be reduced, which had a lot to do with the fact that infantry groups often charged with machine guns!

The Spanish soldiers on the outer defense line of the Tucson Fortress were already frightened by the charge of the dwarf who could not see the end at this time, and the number of people who charged this time was almost equal to the personnel of all the combat soldiers in the Tucson Fortress!

"Fire! Fuck me fire, all the artillery fires, don't let the other side rush up! ”

The commander of the outer defense line of the Tucson fortress shouted angrily!

Previously, in order to place the Spanish artillery that was set fire by the superior artillery of the Han Empire, it was not allowed to pull out a piece of artillery, and the most eye-catching of them was the multi-pipe organ cannon!

There is no way, the Spanish army artillery in the colony is a grape egg in addition to the iron egg, the lethality of the iron bullet was thrown out of a few streets in front of the blasting bomb, even under the dense charge, the killing effect is not satisfactory, as for the grape egg, the range of that thing is not much farther than the musket, and it is difficult to reload, which is generally a shot of strength......

Of course, the most important thing is that the cannon is much more expensive than the small organ cannon!

Moreover, the organ cannon target can be smaller, and it is much more flexible than the artillery movement, and it can still be reluctantly mobile when it changes places with a cannon, so that it will not be like those big artillery, as long as the cannon is fired, it will soon be concentrated by the artillery of the Han Empire......

And then...... The Spaniards were left to kill with muskets and bayonets......

This was the case now, and as soon as the Spaniards came out, the 1st Division of the Japanese Servant Army, which was responsible for the charge, collapsed as a matter of course after the Spaniards' artillery and the stumps and blood sprays of grape eggs at close range were sprayed in the crowd of Japanese chargers......

Subsequently, the artillery division of the Han Empire, which had been waiting for a long time, ignored the Japanese dwarf soldiers who had not yet returned from the rout in front of them, and attacked the artillery exposed by the Spaniards......

It's not that the Han Empire's artillery hits are high, it's really too many!

It has almost reached the ratio of more than a dozen guns to fight the Spaniards, how can this be played?

Moreover, even if the blasting shell was filled with black powder, it would be a small crater when it exploded, especially some of the large-caliber field guns, as long as they hit the periphery of the Spanish artillery, they were properly sent to God and his old man with the cannon to report!
