Chapter 208: Anti-Slope Tactics
On the other side, the black sledgehammer and they rushed to work overnight, and finally built the trench almost completely.
But the position chosen by the head of his own regiment made Wu Da Hammer feel that they would probably not be able to hold on here for long.
And what worries Wu Sledgehammer the most is that his ammunition has been almost consumed before, and the guy who was in charge of Damu just now came to ask him for bullets again, but he didn't have much left in his hand, after giving the other party a hundred rounds, he only had about fifty rounds left, and the situation of the other soldiers must have been earlier, some of them are likely to have used up all the bullets, and then these soldiers are likely to use the flintlock rifles and bows and arrows to fight.
In this case, the advantage of flintlock rifles and bows and arrows is reflected, that is, the ammunition is easy to replenish, unlike these bolt-action rifle bullets in their hands, which are technically demanding to manufacture, and they cannot be made by hand at all.
On the contrary, those flintlock rifles and bows and arrows may have a more complicated arrow process, but the steel-core lead bullet of the flintlock rifle is not difficult to manufacture, and it can be mass-produced at a very fast speed only by preparing molds and raw materials, which is why Guo Dafu chose to equip the second-line militia troops and undead soldiers with the largest number of flintlock rifles in large quantities.
Wu Da Sledgehammer had just slept for less than an hour when the Golden Eagle Empire attacked again, and the other party obviously didn't want to give them a chance to breathe.
Although he was very tired, as a veteran, Wu Dazhui still grabbed the rifle beside him with his eyes half-open, quickly loaded the bullet, and entered his combat post as soon as possible.
And the other soldiers are similar, but Wu Dahammer noticed that many soldiers have indeed changed to flintlock rifles, this thing is not worth much, most soldiers will prepare one for themselves as a spare weapon, and even before they have captured a lot from those Golden Eagle Empire soldiers, so it is not a problem to have one at this time.
It's just that if your own soldiers use this kind of thing, then you won't have any advantage in the face of the enemy! When they can hit each other, the other party will be able to hit them too!
Under the worried gaze of the black sledgehammer, several soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire and several fierce beasts emerged from the top of the mountain, and the enemy troops in charge of reconnaissance seemed to be surprised that the opponent did not establish a defensive line on the top of the mountain.
After being stunned for a while, these enemy soldiers finally noticed the enemy position not far below, but at this time it was too late to notice the enemy troops, and they had already pulled the trigger and opened fire one after another.
The top of the mountain was only a few dozen meters away from their position, and under the simultaneous fire of hundreds of rifles, those few Golden Eagle Empire soldiers and fierce beast cannon fodder were all beaten into a sieve before they even had a chance to dodge.
"Damn! Who told you all to shoot! Waste of bullets, this is a total of seven or eight enemies and a few fierce beasts cannon fodder, let Guan Damu and a few of them sharpshooters get it! Although the enemy was killed as soon as he emerged, Wu Da Sledgehammer was not happy, and reprimanded his soldiers with a depressed face.
Those soldiers also knew that this time it was indeed their mistake, they were now extremely short of ammunition, and they really shouldn't waste it.
And not long after these complex reconnaissance enemy troops were killed, the enemy artillery fire began to roar.
Wu Sledgehammer felt a headache when he heard the sound of the cannon, although the performance of those artillery in the Golden Eagle Empire's cottage is really not good, but how to say that they are all heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and their own side now has no heavy artillery, before the other party was bullying their own side without heavy artillery, and pushed those artillery to a few hundred meters in front of the position, constantly bombarding their own positions.
And in the face of heavy artillery bombardment, no matter how well your position is built, it will not be able to withstand it! Once hit, even if you are not killed, it is a serious injury. Most of your own casualties were caused by these heavy artillery, and even the reason why those positions were abandoned so quickly was due to the enemy's heavy artillery.
After all, after this position was blown into a mess, there was no defensive effect at all, and there was no value in holding on at all, so it could only retreat to the rear and re-establish the defensive line.
Now that the enemy's heavy artillery has begun to roar again, it naturally makes Wu Da Sledgehammer's brows furrow again.
However, to the surprise of the Ukrainian sledgehammer, although the enemy's heavy artillery hit very hard this time, not a single shell fell on their position.
After carefully observing for a while, Wu Da Sledgehammer found that the reason why the other side could not hit their position was because of the mountain in front of them, which caused the enemy troops on the opposite side to be unable to accurately judge the direction of their position, but because the position they chose for this position was too ingenious.
It was only at this time that Wu Dazhui discovered that the new position of his own regiment leader was really not randomly chosen! Directly let the enemy's heavy artillery fire no longer have room to use.
At this time, the captain of the black sledgehammer also returned to the position, looked at his right-hand man with a comprehension expression, and said with a smile: "Boy, how is it?" Do you feel like you've learned another hand? This trick is called the anti-slope tactic, and it is very useful when your own heavy firepower is insufficient! ”
"It's really learned! No wonder His Majesty the Emperor always said that there is no end to learning, you have to live to be old and learn to be old! Facing the facts in front of him, Wu Da Hammer had to admit that the so-called anti-slope tactic in the mouth of his own regiment commander was very useful.
While the two were talking, the enemy artillery on the opposite side seemed to have found that such a blind attack had little effect, so they sent a large number of air forces to prepare to conduct reconnaissance from the air in order to provide guidance to the rear artillery.
However, the Blue Dragon Empire naturally did not wait for death, and also sent a large number of air forces to meet it.
Because the Golden Eagle Empire is an air power after all, in order to avoid the defeat of its own air forces and fail to block the reconnaissance of the opponent's air force, the big horse monkey immediately asked Wu Da Hammer to ignite some wet wood collected in advance on the position.
As soon as the wet wood was ignited, the flames did not come out much, but there was billowing smoke coming out, and the whole mountain was soon completely enveloped in the smoke.
In order to prevent his soldiers from being damaged by the smoke, the monkey ordered all the soldiers to wet the masks they had been given in advance and put them on.
In fact, in this case, the best thing to use is a gas mask, but unfortunately because the Qinglong Empire is now short of production capacity, it has no spare strength to produce this kind of material, and maybe Ma Wanfu's Wanma Group can help produce it later.
Now, I can only use these masks to make do with them.
Since the order issued by the rear was to reconnoiter the exact location of the enemy's position, those Golden Eagle Empire's air troops had no intention of fighting to the death with the Blue Dragon Empire's side, and some of them were separated to drag the Blue Dragon Empire's air troops, while others went straight to the back of the mountain.
As a result, when these air forces of the Golden Eagle Empire arrived at the target, they were completely dumbfounded, on the back of the mountain, full of smoke, they couldn't see what was going on below.
In desperation, these Air Force of the Golden Eagle Empire could only retreat back and start a battle with the air forces of the Blue Dragon Empire with other comrades.
Seeing this scene in the rear, Agucos didn't know that the back of the mountain had been completely covered in smoke, and thought that the guys from the Air Force had not carried out their orders! He was so angry that he dropped the telescope in his hand that was made of pure natural crystal.
However, several air force members soon returned early and reported their findings to Agucoth.
After listening to the reports of these subordinates, Agukos couldn't help but lose his anger, but he was also in distress, which could not lock the accurate position of the enemy's position, and his own artillery could never exert its power!
At this time, one of the generals proposed to Agucos that the infantry could attack directly, after all, in their opinion, the enemy's ammunition was now almost exhausted, and even without the help of artillery, they could defeat it with infantry alone.
One of the more conservative and old-fashioned generals was even whispering there: "When our Golden Eagle Empire didn't have artillery before, wasn't that battle just fought!" Why don't you dare to attack now without artillery support! That's a bit too cautious! ”
Listening to these comments from his subordinates, Agucos felt that it was quite reasonable, so he ordered the infantry to start a strong attack, but most of the first few batches of attacking troops were still those cannon fodder beasts, used to test the enemy's firepower, if the enemy's ammunition was really almost exhausted, then they would put their elite into the attack with all their might.
Soon, the first batch of attacking enemy troops smoothly rushed up the hill in one breath, and the black sledgehammer that had been waiting for them for a long time naturally opened fire one after another, because the distance was only a few tens of meters, so even those flintlock rifles also had a high hit rate, and the enemy army was basically wiped out as soon as the first team emerged, and some of the dead soldiers' corpses fell to the back of the mountain, rolling towards their position, and some fell backwards, tripping over those comrades who were still rushing up behind them.
At the same time, the only dozen or so mortars left on their side were also firing constantly, and these light guns that could shoot in a curved way were like fish in water in this environment, blowing down the enemy troops on the opposite side in pieces across a hill. Unfortunately, because there were not many shells, after a few shots, they also dug fire.
The enemy generals on the other side of the mountain, listening to the sound of guns on the opposite side, couldn't help but show a smile on their faces, because they found that many of these guns were actually fired by flintlock rifles, and as for the enemy's artillery fire, it didn't last at all.
So after the first attacking troops were routed, they directly sent the real elite to launch an all-out onslaught. These elites are not the cannon fodder that most of them still use cold weapons before, but the new army units with a firearms equipment rate of more than 60 percent, and the new equipment organized by Agucos himself has already shown its powerful combat power in the previous process of exterminating those domestic rebels.
And the black sledgehammer they don't care whether this is the elite of the enemy or not, one by one in the trench with a rifle and keep shooting, as long as the enemy is still emerging from the mountain, then they will not stop firing.
Under their all-out resistance, the enemy was basically shot as soon as they appeared, and there was no chance to get close to their position, and the short distance of a few tens of meters seemed to be like a moat.
