Chapter 377: Nasan is the one who rides the white horse
In his surrender to William, he wrote: "My dear brother, since I have not died in my army, I have no choice but to present my sword to your majesty. I hope to continue to be a good brother to His Majesty, Napoleon. โ
In the entire battle of Sedan without firing a single shot, Napoleon III, 39 generals below the French marshal, and 100,000 soldiers surrendered en masse.
Their 650 12-pounder field guns also became trophies.
And now, Nasan is in the same crisis.
Although the Wu Mu army did not have 700 cannons, the French army also did not have 100,000 men.
Moreover, Wu Mujun's [Eagle 007] used ammonium nitrate explosives, which was even more powerful than the Krupp cannon that used black powder and primitive smokeless explosives.
Thus, just the first round of shelling, the French army suffered heavy losses.
Even Bourbaki, the commander of the Guards, who was not far from Napoleon III, was affected by the aftermath of the explosion and fell off his horse without knowing whether he would live or die.
"Shoot back, give me immediate return fire, infantry charge, use the stragglers in the new tactics of warfare!"
Field Marshal Patton took command of the Guards and gave orders that could not be considered correct, but there was no better choice.
Skirmishers, a new tactic that the Guards were contacting during this time, were taught by Mexicans who had participated in the San Diego Round.
In Patton's view, these Mexican officers should be the ones who know the most about the new methods of warfare.
What he didn't know, however, was that the Mexicans in San Diego were more about selling intelligence and playing football with the Ming soldiers than fighting the Ming people.
As great as the Latinos are in football, they are as garbage as their fighting talents.
Can such a master teach people clearly?
What's more, more than 1 month is simply not enough time to train complex skirmishers.
However, the skirmishers themselves are very easy to practice.
You don't even have to practice, you need to train to be shot in line, rush forward like a bunch of bulk rats, isn't that simple?
So, in the eyes of Wu Mujun, the enemy seemed to have given up on treatment and began to make a suicidal charge.
ยท
Song Jiqiu, who was wearing a steel helmet and a ceramic protective plate on his chest, bent over the craters and piles of earth and rocks.
Now it is less than 2000 meters from the local position, where the enemy's artillery also begins to fall in a dense manner.
As the first student of the Guozijian Military Section, Song Jiqiu had the rank of second lieutenant as soon as he graduated.
But the position has to start with an ordinary soldier, and of course, the promotion will be much faster than that of the average soldier.
Being able to enter the ace army of the Royal Army, and it is a unit with the name of Prince Yue, Song Jiqiu is very proud.
As a son of Sanxiang, his father was a capable general under Zeng Guofan, otherwise as the second son, he would not have the opportunity to study in "Citigroup".
This study abroad changed his life.
Of course, the most important thing right now is to win the battle and survive.
Whoosh โ
The Frenchman's rifle was very good, and at a distance of 1,300 meters, a bullet flew out close to Song Jiqiu's ear.
"Pay attention to cover, Anzi, Akiko, the magic chicken is crazy!"
I heard the shouts of the squad leader in my ears.
True, the French, not knowing what was going on, suddenly lost their discipline, and both infantry and cavalry charged with their teeth and claws.
It seems that the bullet just now did not really hit a distance of 1,300 meters, maybe it was hit by some fast cavalry.
Song Jiqiu didn't understand the meaning of the French doing this, the unorganized stragglers were just a rabble, unable to concentrate firepower and unable to cover each other, and once frustrated, they would soon collapse like a tide.
He skillfully pulls the bolt and shoots at the target.
The sound of gunfire drowned out in the noisy battlefield, but the enemy that Song Jiqiu was aiming at fell in an instant, and the people turned on their backs.
Soon, he continued to pull the bolt, looking for his target again.
Song Jiqiu's trio was subordinate to the main infantry division, and its mission was to assist the tank battle group to break through the enemy's defenses head-on.
Da Da!!
Suddenly, an unusual sound of bullets sounded nearby, and in front of the bunker where Song Jiqiu was, a piece of limestone was instantly smashed into powder.
"Machine guns?"
Song Jiqiu was not surprised by the big guy who appeared in front of him.
Before the expedition, the regiment introduced the platoon guns that the French army might be equipped with, that is, the so-called machine guns, in the form of slide teaching.
This is not the information obtained by the Jinyi Guard, and the white hound has no access to such military secrets.
However, Zhu Fugui has information about the Franco-Prussian War in later generations, and generally knows the equipment of the French army in this era.
Of course, the modified Montigni gun with pneumatic tires and a four-stroke gas engine was beyond Zhu Fugui's expectations.
In its original history, this secret weapon, which had been given high hopes by Nasan, was easily defeated by the Prussians.
The terrible dead weight of two tons made the Montigny platoon as cumbersome as the bronze artillery.
Its short range and near-zero mobility made it a live target for the Prussians, which could be easily broken down one by one.
But now, due to the influence of the Ming Dynasty, the mobility of Montigni's platoon guns has been greatly improved.
Towed by Sharma and a four-stroke gas engine, the Montigny platoon gun was like a giant assault submachine gun, covering the advance of the French infantry.
But the French infantry did not protect it.
Lacking skirmish tactics, they simply did not understand what "step-tank coordination" meant.
Song Jiqiu was just about to raise his gun to kill the machine gunner of Montigni's platoon, when suddenly there was a burst of fire, and Montigni's gun was torn apart along with its machine gunner.
Looking at the iron harrier behind the side, Song Jiqiu smiled helplessly.
The Iron Harrier, which is equipped with a short-barreled artillery, is much stronger than the Hanqi 01 in combat effectiveness when attacking such large targets.
ยท
Song Jiqiu has already killed 4 French soldiers one after another.
They tried to raise their sabers to cut down the tanks protected by Song Jiqiu.
Of course, it is impossible for the saber to cut the tank, but the impact of their men and horses will knock the Hanqi 01 over, and even the iron harrier may not be spared.
Song Jiqiu saw an unlucky Han cavalry tank in the distance, which was trampled by the surprised and rampaged Sharma.
Fortunately, the driver and machine gunner escaped in time.
The shire horse weighed more than a ton, and the one that ran away, Song Jiqiu, weighed at least 1.5 tons.
And the weight of Hanqi 01 is only 1.7 tons.
Bang!
Another shot, Song Jiqiu completed five kills.
Looking up, he saw that there were no more Frenchmen in front of him.
And if you listen carefully, I don't know when it started, and the 12-pounder shells of the French may not have whistled overhead for a long time.
"Attention units, attention units, the target has begun to escape, the target has begun to escape!"
"Attention units, attention to all units, those who ride a white horse take three, and those who ride a white horse take three!"
