Chapter 472 The first confrontation with the Prussian army (second update, please subscribe)
The South China Army is dispatched!

In the early morning of September 9, after a few days of rest in Le Havre, the First South China Army set off.

An army of nearly [-] people marched in the direction of Paris along the Seine River under the cover of several gunboats.

Although it was already September, the weather was still a bit hot, and swarms of flies were chasing the marching team, flying around the heads of the sweaty and dusty soldiers.

Along the way, whenever passing through those French towns, there are always French people in and out of the town. Although they cannot understand the language, it does not prevent the enthusiastic French people from stuffing flowers, red wine and other things into the arms of the soldiers. All of this was taken of course by the camera with a camera and a movie camera.

For Li Ping, who was in the top platoon, he felt this kind of enthusiasm along the way, and even the winks from enthusiastic women, but this is a battlefield.

"Platoon officer, where do you think the Germans are?"

Looking ahead vigilantly, Zhang Chuanwen asked.

"just in front."

The enemy is right in front, and this is a constant rule on the battlefield. You never know where the enemy will appear, but what is certain is that, as far as Li Ping knows, those Germans must be the most difficult for them to encounter. entangled enemies.

"Germany...it seems that there is no such thing as Germany."

Someone on the side corrected that whether it was in the "new immigrant education camp" or in the literacy class in the military, they have all learned geography, and have some basic understanding of European countries through teaching wall charts. Of course, they know that there is no What Germany.

In fact, they are no strangers to Prussia.Even the Prussians contributed to the early construction of the South China Army.

Among the first instructors to train the first settlers were veterans of the Prussian army.And Feng Haisen, who later became the deputy chief of staff.He was also a Prussian officer. Although he was an artilleryman, he also made an indelible contribution to the construction of the South China Army.

Although Zhu Xianhai introduced many tactical concepts ahead of the times in the army, in fact, the construction of the South China Army still has many shadows of Prussia.

It is precisely because of this that they regard Prussia as an extremely strong opponent.After all, to some extent, the Prussian army was Nan Hua's teacher.

"Never mind that, anyway, Prussia is what kind of Germany they are..."

Suddenly, with a gunshot, the soldiers who were marching fell to the ground one after another.

"Enemy attack!"

"hidden……"

Amid the platoon leader's shouts, while everyone was lying on the ground, they all looked in the direction of the gunshots, and saw some blue lights flashing on the edge of the town in the distance.

"Prussian blue, it's Prussian..."

The moment he found the enemy, Li Ping picked up the rifle, pulled down the safety on the tail of the machine with his thumb, and took aim.The moment the aiming aperture rear sight, the front sight and the blue in the distance formed a straight line, he pulled the trigger.

With a crisp gunshot, the Type 70 rifle fired.

It was the first time that the South China Army encountered the Prussian Army, and the battle was fierce from the very beginning. Unlike the opponents the South China Army had encountered in the past, those Prussians were not only good at concealment, but also defended based on buildings and fortifications.

After a brief exchange of fire, Li Ping led a squad of soldiers to approach the enemy from the flanks. When he was running on the grass, his speed was very fast. Ahead of him, and to his flanks, several low hedgerows obscured his view.

"The South China people are here!"

Behind the bush fence, Heinrich, who was lying behind the fence, became a little fanatical in his eyes. He picked up the Dreiser needle gun and aimed at the enemy in the distance.

South China people!
After the airship of the South China Army brought them a large number of casualties, now they can finally take revenge with real bullets.

Dozens of Prussian soldiers all pointed their muzzles out of the hedge with fanatical eyes, aiming at the enemy in the distance.

"put……"

Accompanied by the shouts of the officers, they opened fire at the same time. Amid the whistling of the bullets, Li Ping heard the screams around him, and several comrades fell down.

"There is an ambush, there is an ambush..."

Amidst the shouts, he lay on the ground, pointing his gun at the front.

Where is the enemy?

Needless to ask, gunpowder smoke from the hedge gave away their position.

"They're behind the fence, behind the fence."

The soldiers picked up their rifles one after another, aiming at the fence and shooting. Although the bullets flew horizontally and shattered the branches and leaves of the bushes, whether they could hit the enemy depended entirely on luck.

For a while, the two sides shot at each other across the field of more than [-] meters like this.

"Lieutenant, this is not acceptable!"

Rolling in the ground, Zhang Chuanwen crawled to Li Ping's side and shouted.

"We can't see them, even if the bullets are finished, they won't hit well. I took a few brothers to touch over the fence."

"Okay, you guys be careful."

If you can't do it head-on, you can take a detour. Whether it's in the coaching team or in the company, these words have long been engraved in Li Ping's mind.

Although Zhang Chuanwen took away five soldiers, with the magazine of the 70mm rifle and the high rate of fire, Li Ping was not at a disadvantage when shooting against the enemy, and even had the upper hand.

When the two sides were firing at each other, Zhang Chuanwen, who led five soldiers approaching the Prussians from another fence, did not rush up immediately when he was close to the enemy, but ordered softly.

"Use a grenade."

While speaking, he took out a Type 61 long grenade. Although this grenade is large in size, it is easy to throw, and its man-machine function is also very reasonable. Killer.

In fact, when Zhu Xianhai designed the grenade, the reference prototype was the German M24 grenade of World War II. In order to increase the lethality, the thin iron shell was replaced with cast iron.From the grenadiers that "overcome difficulties and emergencies" back then, they were widely used by the Southern Army during the Civil War.

The Type 120 grenade with 61 grams of explosives has proven its power time and time again on the battlefield.The moment the six grenades were thrown out, there was a scream from behind the fence, and then six loud bangs in succession, and the screams rang out together.

The moment the grenade exploded, Zhang Chuanwen rushed out of the fence, pointed his rifle at the Prussians and pulled the trigger.

"kill!"

After the bullet was emptied, he did not rush to load it, so he stabbed the enemy's chest with the bayonet.

"Southern Chinese..."

Heydrich, who was stunned by the blow, saw a bright bayonet stabbing towards him before he could stand up. He rolled instinctively, and when he dodged the bayonet, he stood up with his rifle in his arms and waved it As if holding a stick, he threw it at the South Chinese man. At this moment, the gunshot rang out, and Heydrich, who felt hit by something in the chest, shook his body and saw someone rushing over.

Gunshots and shouts of killing rang out near the fence, and soon the battle ended with the remnants of the Prussian army fleeing.

With the corpses scattered on the ground, Li Ping frowned.

Although it was only a brief encounter, the stubborn resistance of the Prussians exceeded their expectations.

"These people seem to be really different from the Argentines..."

The encounter on the morning of September 9 was hardly worth mentioning in the history of war. The casualties on both sides were only dozens of people.
