In fact, the British already looked up to the Yanhuang Trading Company as much as possible. Not to mention anything else, the 30,000 troops are all veterans who have experienced the battle array, and the essence of them is the elite of the elite. The local people also took out a sum of money and a lot of promises in exchange for Hall M819 rifles and heavy-fisted front-loading rifled guns in the hands of the nobles, fighting other forces, and there was no such position at all. And that's not the point, it's the leader of this force, Britain's newest young great, Anderson Victoria.

That's right, he is actually a branch of the royal family, a distant nephew of Queen Victoria. Anderson took refuge in the British royal family at the age of thirteen, and since he was a relative, the British royal family was not easy to refuse, so he threw him into a school and prepared to teach him all kinds of courses. Unexpectedly, Anderson was found by the teacher to have a strong sense of the overall situation and a very good understanding of military command. From then on, he was groomed as a general.

While still studying, he had already begun to command small armies to fight against the Scots and robbers, and he was never defeated. Anderson was also awarded the title of the strongest general of the younger generation, but instead of being complacent, Anderson was more humble, and even often mingled with the veterans of the army, saying that he could learn from them. This time, speaking of which, it is also a test for Anderson by the British royal family, to test whether he can become a truly excellent "tool".

The British royal family still wants to rely on him to wrest more military power from the noble parliament, so that the royal family can gain more power. Of the 30,000 troops, Anderson commanded them like a command, and the soldiers loved this commander, and the commander knew his soldiers very well. Anderson's humble attitude was also very useful to the routs of the aristocratic private army, and all they knew about the trench fortifications was told to Anderson. Coupled with Anderson's self-reasoning, by the time Apache arrived, they almost thought there was their own person on the other side.

There is no way, the similarity between the entire fortification system and the fortification system they have built several battles has reached about 95%. If it weren't for the absence of machine guns and mortars, it wouldn't have been just 95 percent, but 99 percent. If it was before the five or six gun clan changed their outfit, the Apache would still have a lot of headaches, and most of the tactics of the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle could not form a suppressive shot against the enemy in the trench. It's different now, the comprehensive change of the five or six gun clans has increased their firepower by a little bit.

Sholin didn't teach Apache any of the 36 tactics, but how to fight head-on. All stratagems are taken in the absence of strength in order to achieve victory and reduce casualties. When your own strength is strong, you should be upright, attack with great momentum, and defeat your opponent head-on is the real king. Of course, in order to prevent being yin by others, they also have one copy of the Thirty-six Strategies and other military books, and they will flip through them if they have nothing to do.

The four field brigades, with great might, also divided Anderson's fortification system into four parts, and each laid down one for each. Fifty heavy howitzers did not appear this time, because the transportation was too inconvenient, and they are still on the way. However, each field brigade has enough artillery. The 75mm mountain guns and rapid-fire guns were erected by the artillerymen at great speed, and while the army was enjoying lunch, they began to engage in harassing free fire at the British positions, just to prevent them from having a safe meal.

There was dust everywhere, gravel and steel pieces were fired everywhere, and if you didn't pay attention, you were sent to the west by a lucky shell that hit the trench. In this case, it is really difficult for the British to eat some bread and drink some water. Fortunately, they also ate in the morning, otherwise they would have fallen hungry before the company attacked. After lunch, the artillery was officially ready and was about to start the covering design, and after the artillery was washed for a while, it was time for the infantry to assault.

Don't look at the 75mm caliber, but it's also earth-shattering. Twenty shells for one cannon, that's a lot of energy. Platoon of artillery carried out extended fire, firing from head to tail. Fortunately, Anderson hid the heavy punch in his hand in advance, otherwise it would have been completely destroyed in this shelling. Under this intensity of continuous shelling, the anti-artillery holes built by Anderson and his team were useless. One cannon and two cannons can still resist, and three cannons go down and collapse directly.

Since the invention of rear-loading artillery, the intensity of war has increased directly by geometric multiples. During World War I and World War II, in many battles, there were not as many people killed by guns as there were people killed by various shells, and this is all based on real evidence. Anderson almost died in the shelling, but fortunately the guards dared to die, and God pounced on him and used his body to help him block all the shrapnel. Anderson stood up and saw that 30,000 people, at least more than 5,000, had lost their combat effectiveness in the artillery fire.

The battle has just begun, and one-sixth of the combat strength has been lost, which is really great bad news. Anderson did not lose heart, and asked the auxiliary troops composed of the rout to immediately pull these people down and take them to the rear to hide for treatment. Then, part of the routs put on their clothes that were still in good condition, took their muskets that were not damaged, and entered the position. Not yet fully in place, the fighters of the four field brigades had already rushed up. Mortars began to be erected, and the unique structure made Anderson recognize at a glance that this was the kind of curved artillery that the nobles said.

Anderson didn't know the exact powers, but he also knew that if he let them play, his defeat would appear. Anderson had a trick that he didn't know if it would work, and it was developed from the Iroquois bulletproof shield, a thick plank, which was erected from the trench at this time, crossed over, and fastened to the trench with two pillars. A gap was made between the planks and the trenches for soldiers to attack. Don't say it, it's really effective.

The first mortar shell hits it, but it can only break the plank, and cannot directly damage the soldiers below. If you're lucky, the planks shatter, and nothing will happen to the people below. If you are unlucky, you will be seriously injured or even killed by the burst of wood chips. Of course, this is only the result of the Assault Type 60mm mortar. The power of the Type II 82mm mortar is simply not something that this ordinary wooden board can withstand. However, this is enough to impress Apache and others.

Anderson also knew something was wrong, and immediately yelled at the soldiers to transfer. However, on the battlefield, the sound of guns and cannons roaring in unison was not at all something that could be covered by his few words. Because of this sentence, Anderson also attracted the attack of snipers, although he did not wear a general's uniform, but the person who held a telescope and showed his head to command loudly must be the commander. After Anderson roared, he remembered that the nobles said that he was an enemy who specialized in sniping officers, and immediately rolled over, and a dozen bullets flew over his head.

Knowing that he was being targeted, Anderson immediately threw away his binoculars, took off his hat again, took the hat of a dead soldier next to him, put it on, and put it on again, and then put some dust on his face before showing his head again. By this time, the snipers had lost their aim and were not aiming at him. At this time, the Type 56 machine gun had already been assumed, after all, this machine gun was only invented in the 20th century, and its vitality was not as bad as that of the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun, and it was far superior in terms of stability.

Tongues of fire spewed out, so suppressed that the British soldiers couldn't raise their heads to aim. Even if you stand up and shoot suddenly, there is a great risk, and before you can squat down, your exposed body will be sawed by a machine gun. That's right, it's a saw, a tongue of fire hits it, and the whole body is separated. The tragic death made these elite veterans in Britain a little uneasy. Anderson didn't know what to do anymore, he had never seen anything like this in twenty-nine years of his life.

No matter how difficult the enemy is, it will not form a complete suppression posture against them like it is now. He has already thought of a lot of ways, but the weapon is backward, no matter how he changes his moves, he will be restrained and crushed. They did not inflict casualties on the enemy, but very few of them died on the spot. Most of them were wounded, and then a group of men with black steel shields came up to escort a soldier with a red cross on his sleeve, and it didn't take long to take care of their injuries, and then hid in a suitable bunker.

That kind of black shield, their weapons can't penetrate at all, and they clank when they hit it, but they don't even have a few white marks. It is the steel helmets of those ordinary soldiers, except for Hall M819, which also bounce frequently. Hall M1819 also requires excellent luck to hit the steel helmet straight ahead. In the entire battlefield, there were thousands of wounded field brigade soldiers, but only a dozen actually died. These people were also unlucky, two were scooped by Hall, and eleven were hit by stray bullets in the neck without any protection.

By the time the war began, Anderson's men had lost more than 8,000 men. Seeing that he was losing like this, Anderson had no choice but to bring out all the heavy punches, and then began to prepare for the shelling. The night owl's scouts, who had been waiting for the artillery to be exposed, had Anderson let the artillery move, and they found out. Unlike the British, they and their own gunners had walkie-talkies, contacted them directly, reported the firing parameters.

The 75mm guns and 82mm mortars have stopped firing and have long been waiting for the firing parameters of the night owl scouts. As soon as the parameters arrived, they immediately began to adjust the artillery, taking the first step, and when the heavy punch began to ignite, the shells were already discharged, and the covering shooting was completed in advance.
