Chapter 1441 Wan Lai's Silence (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

When tens of thousands of British people jumped out of the trenches to attack, the observation balloons behind the Ming army noticed their movement.

When the British bombardment was carried out, the soldiers once again withdrew into the bunkers.It was not until Anglo-German bombardment extended back that they took surface positions again.The soldiers who came out in full force moved all the heavy machine guns to the position at this time.

After the machine gunners entered the shooting position in front of the trench, they immediately pointed their black muzzles at the open area in front of the position.

"Stay in formation!"

"Stay in formation!"

In the empty no-man's-land, British officers kept shouting to keep the infantry phalanx in shape.

Although the British who had withstood the test of the Boer War did not line up as neatly as the Boer War, they still adopted the large skirmish line used in the Boer War.More than [-] British troops swaggered in a skirmish line and launched an attack!

In fact, the British were conceited. They believed that it would be difficult for those Ming people to survive under the [-] hours of heavy artillery fire.

Besides, they used poison gas.

Millions of shells, plus a lot of poisonous gas!

With the combination of the two, not to mention humans, even the rats in the field will be poisoned to death.It is simply a guarantee of victory!

Naturally, there are no scruples!

Even the British said that they lined up skirmishers, but their formation was not much different from that during the Napoleonic Wars. The [-] British troops swaggered and launched an attack in a scattered formation.

In fact, Britain is not conceited. At least on the surface, almost all the barbed wire fences on the Ming army's positions were destroyed. A little bit, even if the wire's wooden beam is blown off, the wire is still there and will still hinder their attack.

"Quick, quick, the British guy is coming up, the British guy is coming up..."

In the trench, Wang Youyu, waving a pistol, shouted at the soldiers, but his shout was not very loud under the cover of the gas mask.

But at this time, he didn't need his shouts, just some actions. With the shouts and mobilization of the officers, the soldiers quickly entered the trenches.

Although the poisonous gas was deadly, it also provided them with cover—although the surrounding artillery was rumbling, under the cover of the poisonous gas, it was almost equal to the fact that blind firing was not very accurate, and did not cause much damage to the soldiers.

Although the soldiers were wearing gas masks, when they rushed to the bombed and battered trenches, while they endured the enemy's artillery fire, the sound of Scottish bagpipes could be faintly heard in the green poisonous fog.Hearing the strange sound of bagpipes on the battlefield, the soldiers in the trench looked up and were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Through the lightened poisonous fog, they could clearly see countless British soldiers walking towards them in long rows on the unobstructed, open area like the surface of the moon. Slow, it feels a little heavy.

"Stay in formation!"

Holding the rifle, Sergeant Doug kept yelling orders.

"Stay in formation!"

Following the orders of the officers and sergeants, the skirmish line became more and more orderly. If it were placed in the Napoleon era, such a skirmish line would be admirable. After all, many of these people were recruits. To be able to stand in such a queue is unusual in itself, and certainly a testament to good training.

Their pace was slow because they were carrying heavy loads. In addition to carrying 200 rounds of ammunition and two grenades, many soldiers also carried field phones, picks, shovels, wire cutters, and even carrying pigeons. Most people carry more than 30 kilograms of boxes, and some people even carry more than [-] kilograms.

These British soldiers who were carrying too much supplies and were driven onto the battlefield like donkeys walked on the battlefield step by step with heavy steps.

Driven by the dream of heroes and the fantasy of going home for Christmas, more than [-] British officers and soldiers, led by the officers, lined up in skirmish lines and marched on the battlefield. In this way, he walked slowly towards the Ming army's position.

When they jumped out of the trenches, they did not suffer any attack. It seems that the Ming people and the French were really wiped out. Their enemies were blown into the sky by the violent artillery. Now, their task is just to clean up Just go to the battlefield!

But they never dreamed that in the poisonous fog that had not dissipated, when the soldiers entered the position, the machine gunners carried machine guns into the firing position behind the trench.

"call……"

Jiro Fujita, who was carrying the gun rack, was panting heavily, and the sweat in the gas mask was dripping down the bridge of his brown nose.Although the second and third tripods of the ten-year-style machine gun weigh only 20 kilograms, it is not an easy task to carry the tripod into the machine gun shooting position with a cat on its waist.

It can even be said that it is a challenge to human physical fitness, but all machine gunners know that compared to the old tripods, the performance of the Type [-] and [-] tripods is extremely good. It is equipped with spring-type recoil shock absorbers, special fire control devices and a The optical sight base has some special functions, such as direct aiming and shooting through the telescopic sight, or allowing the shooter to hide under the cover for indirect aiming and shooting through the periscope sight. Under the action, the gun frame will hardly vibrate at all, and there is no recoil that will affect the shooter's observation effect on the target.

Because of this, the Type 23 tripod with excellent performance quickly replaced the old gun mount.

"Hurry up! Fujita, hurry up..."

Under the supervision of the team leader, the moment Fujita carried the gun frame into the firepower point, he quickly unfolded the gun frame, and the machine gunner directly fixed the machine gun on the gun frame.

"Crash..."

As soon as the machine gun was set up, the ammunitionist pulled out a canvas belt, and quickly locked the belt with the sound of bullets hitting.

"Cada!"

The moment the bolt is released, the bullet is loaded!
Just as the machine gunner was loading the machine gun, Fujita observed his position. Like all machine gun positions, although his position was 200 meters away from the first line of trenches, he could form a burst of firepower to the front. Together with other machine gun positions, they formed a perfect crossfire.

Crossfire!

This is the deadliest firepower net!It is a tactic developed by the Imperial Army's machine gun tactics experts who spent tens of millions of rounds of ammunition in more than ten years.

When the machine gunners entered the position, the artillery observers in the front-line observation post and the observation balloon in the rear had already marked the position of the British army column on the map, and at the same time informed the artillery company in the rear by phone. In the past two months, In the repeated enemy artillery strikes, the imperial artillery had already completed the coordinate test firing of the forward positions. Now they only need to follow the coordinates to send fierce and accurate artillery fire to the British.

The attacking British army also wore gas masks. This is nothing new. After all, poison gas has been on the battlefield for almost 20 years.

Sergeant Major Doug, who was carrying a heavy backpack and walked slowly, was panting heavily from time to time. The glass lens of the gas mask, with the fog generated by a little sweat, was panting heavily.The sergeant major saw some dead birds on the ground. The poison gas not only kills people, but also kills animals.

At this time, the battlefield was extremely silent, with no chirping of birds or biting rats. The deadly poisonous gas killed the rats in the ground and the birds in the sky.Now all they could hear were their own footsteps.

For some unknown reason, an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in the sergeant major's heart. He only felt as if his heart was being held by something, and he even felt out of breath.

Must be so nervous!

Doug comforted himself in this way.

Finally, through the faded poisonous gas, Doug and other soldiers had clearly seen the position of the Ming army.

In front of the battered position, there were bombed and broken barbed wire everywhere, but the messy barbed wire still blocked their progress.

At this moment, Doug saw the steel helmets that suddenly appeared behind the bombed trenches beyond recognition, Ming people!

Rush up and kill them all!
Kill them all, take their positions, and end this goddamn war.

The moment this thought came to his mind, a sudden gust of wind swept across the earth!
