On the front of the 47-kilometer-wide Beilun defensive line, more than 1,000 artillery pieces of various types bombarded indiscriminately for half an hour, turning the Beilun defensive line into a sea of fire, and the power was extremely amazing.

When the time comes

The artillery fire on the front line tens of kilometers long stopped abruptly, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was so strong that it was like a haze......

Countless soldiers of the Southern Union Army in blue-gray uniforms left their positions and spread up with spears under the guidance of the divisional flags, like boundless blue-gray locusts, bringing a boundless atmosphere of slaughter to this land before dawn.

On the position of the Kingdom of the Great Ocean

Countless barbed wire, deer, horses and trenches were blown to pieces, and the earth seemed to have been hit by a meteorite rain, and there were potholes everywhere, charred and black.

The original lush green wasteland was covered with mud in the depths, and everywhere was green and yellow, and the Confederate soldiers rushed up like a tidal wave, and saw empty trenches, throwing torn clothes, canned food boxes and empty ammunition boxes everywhere, except for the corpses everywhere as they imagined.

Those Orientals fled?

"Wow...... Victory! ”

Without suffering any casualties, they rushed to the enemy's position and occupied the Beilun defense line with surprisingly smooth results, which made the soldiers of the Southern Union Army ecstatic, and they couldn't help but cheer loudly, and hundreds of thousands of people shouted excitedly together, and the sound was like a tidal wave soaring into the sky.

Several commanders of the Southern Army came to the empty positions and looked at each other at the trenches that could not be seen at a glance, and they quickly realized that this was not a good thing;

The confidential operational information of the Southern Federal Army was leaked, and the enemy played a golden cicada shell, and this heavy punch hit the empty space, so it was not uncomfortable!

Occupying the position is victory, ordinary soldiers can't care so much, excited to throw the general's hat into the air to celebrate, countless military hats flying in the air, and even many white soldiers twisting their butts and dancing, a joyful atmosphere.

The news soon reached the command of the Confederate Army, and Admiral Gavin Williamson knew that it was a bad dish as soon as he heard it, which was a clear leak of important military information, and it was really said by the crow mouth of Prime Minister Jeff Bridges;

An expensive firework was set off, and the bird feathers were not fished.

Now is not the time to investigate who leaks important military information, if you really want to talk about it, the senior commanders here have unshirkable responsibilities, and they are all suspected of leaking secrets, he reacted quickly, laughed twice and said; "The course of the battle is as perfect as we expected, and we immediately ordered all units to advance ahead of schedule, encircle and capture the city of Novorossiysk, pay attention to searching for the main forces of the enemy army that have fled, and seek opportunities to mobilize heavy troops to surround and annihilate them."

It's not uncomfortable to punch in the air.

The original plan of repeated brutal battles for the position of the Beilun defensive line came to naught, and the plan to advance to the north could only be advanced.

Those who can be high-ranking officers are not stupid, and as soon as the officers heard it, they knew that the commander-in-chief was fooling the high-ranking officials of the Southern Federation, that is, bullying them for not understanding military affairs, so they echoed it;

"Great, I'll order all the troops to take advantage of the victory and quickly expand the victory."

"The enemy will definitely not be able to run far, and I will ask for battle on behalf of the cavalry division."

"Your Excellency, this is a fantastic start, I reckon those ignorant Orientals are already scared of the blood, we just need to chase them like hares, and we can make our way to the northern towns, and I can't wait for that."

"Wonderful, this is what I know of the Orientals, they are docile and cowardly, not good at words, they will only dig in the soil like old cattle, and dancing knives and guns are not their good work."

"Hahaha...... That's right, these Chinese are the best slaves, maybe that's their fate, right? ”

At this moment, the sun rises in the sky and spreads dazzling light on the earth, and a new day has arrived.

On the long Beilun defensive line, there were large groups of ultramarine-gray Southern Union soldiers everywhere, and a fierce white cavalry was ready to set off, hula and rush to the north......

"Da Da Da, Da, Da ......"

Suddenly, a large number of heavy machine gun fire appeared behind the hills, and the dense fire network formed fiercely enveloped the white cavalry troops, and the fighting horses rolled and fell, and the white cavalry seemed to crash into an invisible wall and fell to the ground one after another, rolling smoke and dust.

Oh sell ga...... What's going on?

Before the commander of the Confederate Army could realize anything, he only heard a rumbling roar like rolling thunder in the distance, and a large black oppressive projectile was overwhelming, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Time

The Beilun defense line was once again ravaged by countless artillery fire, and the explosions and flames were accompanied by the earth, guns and corpse fragments flying, and the white infantrymen who had just twisted their butts in celebration were already enveloped in a sea of fire before they could react.

Oh sell ga...... What a bird!

Admiral Gavin Williamson suddenly realized at this moment, realizing that he had fallen into the enemy's big deal, his face turned pale, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped violently, but it was too late.

The high-ranking officers who were originally elated and deceived themselves in the command headquarters were slapped in the face at this moment, and one by one they no longer had the same domineering attitude as before, pointing at the country, and becoming dumbfounded.

Now the facts are clear

After the cunning Oriental Yankees discovered the confidential offensive information of the Southern Union Army, on the eve of the attack, they moved the position back 4~5 kilometers as a whole, re-dug trenches to defend it, and deployed many artillery pieces to wait for the Southern Federation to take the bait directly.

Now on a long front

The soldiers of the Northern Army have retreated beyond the range of artillery fire, and only a large number of soldiers of the Southern Union Army are exposed to the guns of both sides, and they are being ravaged by artillery fire at this moment.

The white cavalry units searching ahead were stopped by heavy machine gun fire, which should have been a new line of defense for the heavy hoarding of the Northern Army.

Careless, careless......

"Quick, get the troops down." Admiral Gavin Williamson jumped three feet high.

This timely order alerted the senior officers of the command, and they immediately went into action, and the heralds at the gate of the headquarters scattered in all directions, and the rest were frantically shaking the phone, conveying the order to retreat on all fronts.

Admiral Gavin Williamson watched the dense cover bombardment like a volcanic eruption in front of him, and his heart was almost bleeding......

In this day and age

At the end of the line infantry tactics (line up to shoot tactics), the brutal American Civil War coupled with the application of repeating gun technology shook the dominance of line infantry tactics in the world army, and new skirmish tactics appeared.

The British Army, which was stubbornly clinging to tradition, continued to use the traditional tactics of line infantry, and the European powers, the German Empire, France and Austria-Hungary, had begun to embrace the skirmish tactics and tried to make a change.

Nowadays, the European continental powers have not yet received the severe beatings of the First World War, and due to information blockage and outdated concepts, the upper-level officers generally do not attach importance to the role of deep trenches, and there are no such strong trenches as deep as two meters, no anti-artillery holes, and no perfect trench system.

This kind of land work in the army was considered cowardly behavior of the mole, and was unanimously despised by the white upper echelons of the officers with a strong aristocratic knighthood, and was always regarded as insulting to the fearless sacrifice of the soldiers, so that half-height breastworks and shallow ditches prevailed.

The Beilun defense line built by the Ocean Kingdom is such a good thing, and it is good to resist infantry attacks, but in the face of fierce artillery fire, it is a piece of paper, which is torn and shattered in the blink of an eye.

Countless Confederate soldiers relied only on thin breastworks and shallow ditches to resist artillery bombardment, and the situation was so difficult.

In the explosion of fire after fire, in the smoke of a large fog

Countless soldiers of the Southern Army scurried around, wrapped in the flames of the explosion from time to time, and their limbs were shattered and flew into the sky along with the dirt.

The cannon roared like thunder, and the screams resounded through the sky.

Faced with the huge casualties of the attacking legion, Admiral Gavin Williamson looked at the hellish scene ahead with a distorted face, and slammed his fist against the wall, his heart tormented by strong self-reproach and filled with infinite anger towards the Orientals.

Prime Minister Jeff Bridges finally couldn't help but say; "Well, sorry to bother Mr. General, I'm afraid this is not what we want to see......"

"Alright, shut up, now please you ignorant and stupid politicians get out of here, right now...... Get out of my command post. Admiral Gavin Williamson roared in shock, he himself didn't know why he had such a strong outburst, why he would pour out on the other party mercilessly, there was no reason at all.

Really, it's like the devil possessed it.

Unable to suppress the boiling anger in his heart, he pointed to the front line and shouted; "The valiant soldiers are paying with their lives for victory, and you are talking to me about whether the performance is as expected, now please get out of here, don't affect our command of the war, every battle is bloody and brutal, I don't have time to explain to you."

Belch...... All right.

In the face of the thunderous supreme military commander, a group of white hardliners left the command post in a gloomy manner, not even daring to let out a fart.

The counter-artillery fire of the Northern Army did not last long, and after only 15 minutes, the heavy artillery fire covered the bombardment.

In the thick fog of gray-black gunsmoke, there was a loud horn of attack

Countless soldiers of the Northern Army wearing gray-yellow military uniforms rushed up with sharp bayonets like the tide of the sea, chasing the fleeing Southern Union soldiers and quickly recovering the lost territory.

Many of the white soldiers of the Southern Union who were bombed were captured, and more of them scattered and fled, throwing away their armor and fleeing all the way back to their own formation, and they were already terrified under the joy and sorrow.

In the impression of ordinary white cowboys in the south, the Chinese are generally a docile, low-key and introverted people, who seem to be hard-working and easy to bully, and today's battlefield has taught them a vivid lesson, and those experiences are all deceitful.

The counterattack of the Northern Army was very restrained, sending only a few assault troops to regain the forward positions, and the large army stopped beyond the range of the Confederate artillery fire, and then marched in full formation, and returned to the sortie positions at noon.

Today's battle ended in such a hurry, the Southern Alliance Army not only did not occupy an inch of land, but paid a heavy price of more than 13,000 losses, including more than 3,700 captured officers and soldiers, and the army was forced to retreat to the starting point of the attack.

This is a good start, and a squib was played.
