Chapter 480 The Song of Germany (First update, please subscribe)
The base camp has been bombed!

After the news came out, the impact on the Prussian soldiers was unimaginable. While rejoicing that the king, prime minister and others were safe and sound, the fear of the airship and even the fear of Nanhua deepened again.

When people talk about the bombing of the base camp, they will look to the sky. Once upon a time, the blue sky and unpredictable clouds can relax their mood, but now it brings them death and fear!

And all of this was brought by Nan Hua!

Nam Hwa!

The South China Army must be defeated!

This is the largest room in the manor. Although the area is very large, all the places are a bit messy. The sound of "dida" echoed in the air, and the telegraph operator ran with long telegrams from time to time. The officers in blue military uniforms were chatting and discussing issues from time to time.

There are documents piled up on the tables one by one. In the center of the room is a large sand table filled with small flags. Those small red flags represent the South China Army, and the blue ones represent the Prussian Army. A crescent-shaped situation.

The surrounding map racks are covered with military maps. Although all the windows in the room are open, the atmosphere here is still tense, making people feel anxious and dull.

Sitting behind a large table sat an officer with his collar unbuttoned, sweat dripping from his brow and even from the tip of his nose.He is Count Moltke, the commander of the Fourth Prussian Army. At this time, he has completely lost his aristocratic demeanor. Not only has he lost his military appearance in the past, his sunken eye sockets are black and blue. Although his face is full of exhaustion, he is still dead. Stare at the map.

It's been five days!
For the past five days, outside Rouen, his IV Corps had launched attack after attack on the South China Army, but their attacks had been repulsed, and even the artillery suffered heavy losses.

"Now we are repeating the tragedy of the French!"

In Earl Moltke's telegram to the Chief of Staff, he described the gap between the two sides in this way.

Rifles are far inferior to Nanhua, and even the trump card of the Prussian army, the Krupp cannon, is also inferior to their cannons.

tragedy!

"How comfortable we were playing against the French, how comfortable they are playing against us now!"

But it doesn't matter!
The important thing is that Prussia needs a victory, and it needs to use victory to prove that the South China Army is not invincible!

Frowning tightly, Earl Moltke stared at the situation of both sides on the map, thought for a while, and ordered.

"The Fifteenth Army, attacking from the front one by one from the front tonight..."

"Order the Thirteenth Army to detour from the right flank to the rear of the South China Army tonight, and launch an attack on their rear!"

The order after order means that the war is intensifying.

For those Prussians who went to the battlefield under the baptism of patriotism, perhaps the enemy they faced was powerful, but they believed that Prussia would definitely win.

For the unity of Germany!

Stein was an engineer who worked in British shipyards before the war broke out. After the war, like many Germans working in Britain, he returned to Hamburg by boat, and then he joined the army.There are many people like others in the army. Among them are farmers, scholars, shoemakers, engineers, young people, and old people.But they are all Germans.

"Germany, Germany, above everything, above all things in the world; no matter when, to protect and defend, brothers always stand together. From Maas to Merle, from Esch to Belt..."

The recitation of the hymn came out from the trenches, and he knew that it was the "Song of Germany" recited by Backhaus there. At the expatriate gatherings, they also sang this hymn again and again. The tune of this hymn is "Emperor Quartet" written by Haydump. In 1841, when Haydn was dying, Napoleon’s French army was besieging Vienna. In the days when the cannons continued, Haydn often played this song on the piano with great affection when he was dying, hoping to get spiritual comfort from it.

Similarly, this "Song of Germany" has been the place for Germans to express their national feelings and find spiritual comfort in the past two decades.Of course, it is also their desire. For the Germans who have been divided for a long time, they long for Germany to become a country and long for unity!

This song is the voice of all of them!
"...unity, justice and freedom, for the German Fatherland; let us fight together for this goal, united as brothers, with our hands and our hearts..."

The singing in the trenches in the twilight merged into one, and the soldiers from all over the North German Federation sang this German hymn. Under the light of the stars and the moon, under the pointed helmets of Germany, their expressions were resolute and decisive.

"For Germany!"

"For unity!"

"For justice!"

"For Germany!"

They encouraged each other, they looked at each other, at this moment, no matter whether they were from north, south, south, east or north, whether they were Maas, Moore, Esch, or Belt, they were all Germans and Italians. brother.

The officers drew their revolvers, and when they were about to step out of the trench, they looked back at the soldiers in the trench and said.

"For the unity of Germany!"

"For the unity of Germany!"

In the night, tens of thousands of Prussian soldiers walked out of the trenches, and they stepped onto the battlefield calmly and calmly. While the infantry set off, the gunners carried the ox shoulder straps and dragged the Feldkanone C/64 field gun, which weighed only 650 kilograms, the Prussian gunners have dragged it to the front line countless times, accompanied the infantry attack, and blasted the enemy's defense line with shrapnel.

Under the cover of night, Stein and his brothers approached the defense line of the South China Army in a scattered line of skirmishers with rifles in hand.

Immediately after their rear gunners had pushed the cannon into place, they loaded the cannon with 3.8kg shrapnel shells loaded with 48 50g lead rounds, which could be called powerful full.

While the gunners were preparing, tens of thousands of Prussian soldiers set foot on the battlefield. During the march, Stein looked towards the night sky and saw the dots of stars in the night sky. His mood was calm and without any waves. .

"For the unity of Germany!"

Their belief is firm, just when Xuan Taiyin and those German brothers from all directions walked towards the defense line of the South China Army in the night, in the trenches of the South China Army, the soldiers were urged by the company platoon leader Lie down on the shooting position.

"The Prussians are coming up!"

Li Ping said softly while holding the rifle.

"Everyone is ready, bullets are at hand, and grenades, unscrew the cap..."

The soldiers wearing steel helmets were lying on the edge of the trench, aiming their rifles into the distance. Their vision at night was very poor. At most, they could only vaguely feel some movement in the wilderness shrouded in nightfall.

"They're up!"

Suddenly, when the sharp-eyed soldier saw the figure, he yelled, and at the same time, gunshots rang out, and the trench was full of gunshots for a while!
