Chapter 475 The Prussian Army Who Was Looted (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
This is the old Prussian style of play. Their rifles are not as good as the French, and they are far inferior to the Prussians in Nanhua. They are good at using artillery to make up for their own disadvantages. The rear of the infantry was aimed directly at the South China Army's accurate shelling.

When they were fighting the French, they implemented this tactic of artillery accompanying infantry offensive shelling and directly providing accurate fire support more than once.

A few shells landed on the adjacent company's position not far away.The cannonballs were so close to Wang Taisheng and the others, so close that when the cannonballs exploded, the clods raised directly hit their helmets...

"Ah, ah, this, whose arm is this, whose arm is this..."

Li Mingdou screamed in terror not far from Wang Taisheng, holding an arm in his hand.

"What the hell! You idiot, are you scared? Keep shooting! The shells missed you again!"

Wang Taisheng rushed over, kicked his ass, and cursed at him viciously.The temporarily dug trench was not deep, only one meter high, even if the parapet was counted, it was only chest height, and Wang Taisheng was standing there straight now, it must be risky, he dragged Li Mingdou to the edge of the trench, He said viciously.

"Hurry up, keep shooting, for a while..."

At this moment, he heard a dull whistling sound flying overhead.

It's a cannon!
It's their cannon!

The mortars are firing!

When the Prussian army approached 500 meters, the artillery opened fire. Unlike the slow Prussian shelling, the mortar attack was swift and violent. In just a few seconds, hundreds of shells fell down. , those heavy artillery shells weighing 15 kilograms, or even nearly [-] kilograms, fell at a vertical angle. At the moment of explosion, the cast iron fragments roared on the battlefield like a storm with gunpowder smoke and mud.

But in just an instant, the blue figure and the green land were completely covered by gunpowder smoke. In the violent explosion, those Prussians were blown into the air like rag dolls, and then fell down...

Unlike the Prussian bombardment, the South China Army's bombardment can be described as earth-shattering, just like a summer storm, coming quickly and going quickly.

The shelling only lasted ten minutes. After the shelling was over, when the black smoke was slowly blown away by the wind, all the people who were standing upright were blown into the air, and only some people lying down in a hurry Those who came down were lucky enough to survive.

Under the fierce artillery fire, they looked around in fear. As far as they could see, there were severed arms and limbs everywhere. This kind of rapid and intensive artillery fire was irresistible for flesh and blood.It has also been the best fighting style of the South China Army for many years, which is to use rapid mortar fire to give the deadliest shelling.

From the telescope, watching those Prussian troops begin to retreat after suffering heavy losses.Liang Shan sneered.

"That's why we use mortars. Maybe its range is not far and its accuracy is not high, but its rate of fire is definitely far higher than any kind of breech-loading rifle!"

The South China Army has always been a supporter of mortars, even if they have the best Kruppish field guns, but compared to those slow-firing field guns, they are more willing to use 100mm and 120mm mortars , especially after the smokeless propellant doubled its range, the mortar has simply become their favorite.

Great power, high rate of fire!

So what if the precision is not enough?
It's not enough to pick up the quantity.Moreover, today's ground-breaking shelling itself is a heavy blow to the soldiers' psychology.

When in South America, Chileans and Argentines collapsed under intensive mortar fire more than once.Even the division of the United States, the mortars also made great contributions.

"The temptation of the Prussians has been suppressed. They will definitely attack our defense line today, ordering the troops on the front line to pay attention to the movements of the Prussians, um..."

After thinking about it, Liang Shan said.

"Send a telegram to His Majesty and tell the commander-in-chief that the Prussian Fourth Army has taken the bait!"

When the voice fell, Liang Shan struck a match, lit a cigar, took a puff, and said to himself while exhaling the smoke.

"This fish is so big, I don't know what kind of pot His Majesty used to stew this fish!"

This "fish" is really big!
Standing in front of the map of the battlefield situation, Zhu Xianhai stared at the map and couldn't help thinking this thought in his heart.

The Fourth Army is an army formed by Prussia after the war. It seems to be a newly mobilized army, but it is actually the elite of the Prussian army-the Prussian army is well-equipped, and the soldiers are well-trained and disciplined; all Prussian men They have all received at least elementary compulsory education. They can understand tactical templates, tactical deduction diagrams and maps. The military education that the instructors have always instilled, "The duty of a soldier is to defend the motherland, resist foreign enemies, and also defend domestic order." Also in Prussia A strong sense of discipline and patriotism are born.

Such soldiers are the real modern army-an army supported by discipline and patriotism.

Not to mention the French with lax military discipline, even the Nanhua Army can’t keep up with them in many aspects. The general education level of the Nanhua Army is the level of literacy and patriotism... Nanhua is not a country yet!
Once again, Zhu Xianhai's heart began to call for his empire!It's not that he wants to be an emperor, but the call of the times is the necessity of the mission and the voice of the people... If there is any reason for people to die generously, it is the country and the duty of citizens!
But it is too early to talk about these things now, the most important thing right now is to eat this big fish.

"Use 2.8 to eat 8..."

Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but want to whistle, this is simply extremely arrogant!And it was facing the Prussian army.

But he doesn't think so!

"One power down ten times, now you hit me, I hit mine..."

What is a one-force reduction of ten meetings is the crushing of strength. Perhaps the Prussians have this or that advantage, but the advantages of the South China Army are hard to match for the Prussian army.

The Type 70 rifle is not only the world's first rifle that fires smokeless powder, but also the 5-round bridge clip and 10-round magazine it uses give it epoch-making powerful firepower.Of course, on the battlefield, the performance of the rifle is not the key. The French Chasebol rifles are more advanced than the Prussian Dreiser rifles, but their cannons are not good.

But Nanhua is different. Nanhua not only has advanced rifles, but also cannons are not inferior to the Prussians. After all, Nanhua is the first country equipped with rear-loading rifles. After years of improvement, the performance of Nanhua's Krupp artillery is now the world's leading It is also among the best.

"The artillery battle..."

After chanting these two words, Zhu Xianhai picked up a cigar and said to himself.

"How dare you start a cannonball fight with Nan Hua, isn't it just looking for smoke!"

This is not self-promotion. After all, compared to Krupp Nanhua, it not only has better machines, but also has better steel and more advanced artillery technology. However, because of its location in the New World, Nanhua's cannons are not yet well-known. Europe only.

Now it's time to use the Prussians to make Nanhua's cannons famous...
