Fox of France

When the Russian army was outside the range of the French Mini rifle, quickly transformed the horizontal formation into a column, and quickly approached the French position, Napoleon also opened his eyes wide: "This...isn't this our trick?"

"General, in these years, there should not be too many people who imitate our combat methods." Su Xie raised his jaw high, "but no matter how imitated, they are also our defeated men."

"Hahaha..." Napoleon laughed, "Louis, do you know? Someone said something very similar to what you just said."

"Who?" Xu Xie asked.

"My brother Joseph--the guy who has to put the badge of the academician of the Academy of Sciences on his chest as long as I wear a military uniform in front of him--well, we had a picnic together. And he is not talking about the military, he said These are the products of the'Military-Industrial Complex'," Napoleon said, and there was a picture of Joseph wearing a large academician of the Academy of Sciences badge on his chest, which looked like a villain," he said: ' We have been imitated, but we have never been surpassed. "But to be honest, just when they were outside the range of our rifle, this formation change really exceeded our previous level."

After hearing this, Xu Xie laughed. In this respect, it is not difficult to surpass the French army, especially when the column assault tactics are still widely used. Because at that time, the French army only adopted this tactic. Isn't the main reason that the soldiers were not well trained and could not line up neatly?

And now the army in front of them, at a longer distance, in order to avoid being hit by solid shells, it uses a thin line to approach (so that even if it is hit, one or two people will be killed), and it is close to the rifle range. Locally, the horizontal formation can be quickly transformed into a column. This formation transformation ability itself shows that the training level of this army is quite good.

After the Russian army completed the change of the queue, it continued to move forward. The French cannons also began to fire at these Russian troops.

A shell accurately hit a Russian military phalanx, just like a bowling ball hit a row of wooden bottles. Cracklingly knocked a large row of Russian soldiers to the ground. But unlike the bowling ball, the wooden bottle knocked down by the bowling ball is at least complete, but the soldier knocked down by the iron ball fired by the cannon is not so complete, especially the first few. It fell apart.

But the Russian troops who followed Suvorov to Italy were all veterans who were accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefields with Turkey and Poland. Therefore, the advancement of the Russian army was not affected more. They still approached the French army at a constant speed, and soon they entered the minefield of the French army.

The mine soon exploded. With the explosion of the mine, one by one Russian soldiers fell to their feet, but this still couldn't stop the Russian army from moving forward. Soon the barbed wire appeared in front of them.

Several soldiers with explosive packs quickly emerged from the queue and rushed to the barbed wire fence.

"Bang, bang..." A row of gunpowder smoke rose from the French trenches. Many soldiers with explosive packs were knocked to the ground, but some people rushed to the barbed wire and stuffed the explosives on the wire fence. Below.

With several explosions, several gaps in the barbed wire were immediately exploded. Almost at the same time, the Russian army expanded its formation, holding up its bayonet, and rushing toward these gaps.

"It's really brave!" Napoleon exclaimed.

"It is indeed as brave as our army!" Xu Xie also sighed, "Unfortunately, the more braver you are, the faster you will die."

Just as the Russian army rushed towards the gap in the barbed wire, a whole row of broadsword mines exploded not far from the barbed wire. Every broad sword shoots 800 iron **** at the opposite Russian army. So many broad swords are detonated at the same time, like a torrential rain on the front, and like a sudden hail in summer. Crackling into the wheat field, the whole piece of wheat fell on the ground.

Looking around, almost all of the Russian soldiers rushing to the front were knocked to the ground. Just one round of explosion caused thousands of casualties to the Russian army.

"I didn't expect this thing to be so cruel!" At a further place, Marshal Suvonov put down the telescope in his hand and exclaimed, "When the British talked about the power of this thing, I thought they had it. Exaggerated, I didn't expect..."

"French people's science and technology really deserve to be the first in Europe." Bagration also exclaimed, "However, just by this, we can't stop us."

Indeed, this round of blow was very heavy, but it was just like dropping a big rock toward the rushing tide. The big rock splashed with huge water and made a huge noise, but then it was submerged by the tide coming from behind.

More Russian soldiers passed over the corpses that fell on the ground and rushed through the first barbed wire fence. In front of them was the first trench of the French army.

"Bang bang bang..." The French in the trenches fired a final salvo at the Russians, then turned their heads and retreated along the longitudinal traffic trenches to the second trench behind. At the same time, in front of the first trench, another row of "broad swords" was detonated.

This row of "broad swords" also failed to stop Russia, but it also blocked the footsteps of the Russian army a bit, giving time for the French army in the trenches to retreat.

The French army in the first trench moved quickly along the traffic trench towards the second trench behind. The Russian army quickly rushed to the first trench.

"Rush up, rush up!" Bagration yelled excitedly.

"Peter, it's still early." Suvorov frowned. "Why didn't there fight here? If this line of defense was relatively important, how could they not resist when we rushed into the first trench? "

"Then they are planning?" Bagration said.

"They intend to let us continue to consume our strength before the next line of defense, and then counterattack back when our army is exhausted." Suvorov said, "Immediately give orders to the front, so that if they encounter obstacles in front, Just retreat, and today can consolidate the occupation of the first line of defense. In addition, let the follow-up troops enter, the French may counterattack. They can only rely on them to stop them."

The cavalry who sent the order immediately rushed forward. At this time, the Russian army that rushed up took advantage of the opportunity of the French army to retreat and rushed towards the second trench.

From the first trench to the second trench, there is a distance of several hundred meters, and there is a barbed wire fence between the two trenches. And between the two trenches, there seems to be a shortcut that can be used-a traffic trench that connects the two trenches vertically. The French army retreated from here just now. Chasing from here, it seems that you can pass under the barbed wire.

So some soldiers chased directly from the French trenches. At first the chasing seemed to be smooth, but when they were about to rush to the second trench, at the exit of the traffic trench, a French soldier stretched out his hand and pulled away a yellow cloth, revealing a gun. The mouth is facing the 8-pounder gun in the traffic trench. Then the muzzle fire flashed, and an 8-pound iron ball hit it.

The traffic trench is not too wide, and there are not many places to hide. Of course, although the flying speed of artillery shells of that era was considerably slower than those of later generations of artillery, it was not something that humans could avoid by their own reaction. As a result, the shells hit from one end of the traffic trench directly to the other end, breaking the Russians in the traffic trench to pieces.

Obviously, attacking from the traffic trench is not a good way. There is no way to avoid it here. Even if the cannon is loaded slowly, after a shot, there is a chance to rush in the gap, but there are French soldiers over there. The guns in the hand were shot in turn, which could also block the Russians for a while, and then the cannon was reloaded...

Since taking advantage of the traffic trenches and rushing through it doesn't work, you can only attack from the ground. However, the situation on the ground is not very good. There are a lot of landmines and barbed wire. There are naturally artillery and broadsword mines behind the barbed wire.

The Russian took advantage of the opportunity of the French to retreat to the trenches again. But this time, they failed to cross the trench, and their courage and strength were exhausted in the previous battle. This time he was beaten back by the French without even being able to cross the wire fence.

"The French are going to counterattack." Suvorov immediately made such a judgment.

Sure enough, the French began to counterattack. They first used rifles and artillery shots to drive the retreating Russian army back to the first trench. The Russians jumped into the trenches~www.readwn.com~ Relying on the cover of the trenches and shooting at the French on the opposite side. But this pair of shots is still unfair. The first trench is on the side facing the French and there is no parapet built up by dirt. So in terms of depth, at least in this direction, the first trench is not enough to cover. Live the whole person.

However, when more people retreated into the first trench, a large flash of light suddenly flashed from the first trench, and then the rumble of explosions became a sound.

It turned out that the insidious French had already buried the mines set off by the wires in the first trench. At this time, they suddenly detonated and immediately caused huge casualties to the Russian troops who retreated into it. The French army also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

At this time, the Russian reinforcements also began to approach the first trench. But at this moment, the French artillery roared again.

Suvorov originally thought that the French would continue to fire on reinforcements with solid shells. However, this time the shells are completely different, their ballistics are much higher. (The muzzle velocity of artillery in this era is very low, and the shells are visible to the naked eye when they fly.)

"This is not an ordinary solid shell." Bagration said, "Although this trajectory height allows the shell to fly farther, it is difficult to form a ricochet. This is not an ordinary solid shell."
