Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Frenchman did not expect the Prussian to be this crazy. Before he had even withdrawn his soldiers, artillery shells had already rained down like hail!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out and the entire base became a sea of fire!

According to their original plan, when the enemy began to retreat, the heavy machine guns would immediately retreat to the rear to avoid the enemy's artillery fire.

However, he did not expect Prussia to be so adamant about using the method of breaking a soldier's arm. The bombardment of almost half of the heavy machine guns had all been blown up into pieces.

On the artillery position, the commander's ears were stuffed with earplugs. He shouted crazily, not caring if the soldiers below could understand!

"Fire!" Keep firing! "

"Revenge for the fallen soldiers ahead!" Flatten Foshan Mountain Pulse! "

"Don't mind the ammunition! The railway line behind us has been completely repaired, and we have plenty of artillery shells! "

"Destroy these French!"

In the dark night, these Krupp steel gun had even burnt their cannons, and these soldiers were completely risking their breeches to continue operating their cannons.

The French should be thankful, glad that this era did not have the technology to control the recoil, the recoil force of the cannons were all relying on the shield to retreat!

This method of retreating was not able to guarantee the accuracy of the artillery because after the three or four rounds were fired, the recoil had already caused the artillery's position to shift.

At this time, they needed to adjust the shooting data, and Prussian was already a dead man, no one had the time to reassess it, what they wanted now was the firepower density, they did not care about the accuracy at all.

It was this flaw that allowed less than half of the heavy machine guns to escape the shooting grounds!

"Crazy, these Frenchmen are crazy! They even exploded with their own people! "

The heavy Machine gunner s who had retreated to a safe place said those words with lingering fear in their hearts!

The crazy bombardment continued for twenty minutes. There were no longer any soldiers who could stand up in the area that was leading to Saar Castle. At this moment, the Prussian blew the horn to charge again.

This time, Prussia was risking their lives. They were running against the Death God, so they had to rush up and fight the enemy head on before the heavy machine gun could even enter the shooting position!

This time, they succeeded. The leading 1000 death squadrons were panting heavily as they took out their 100-meter-long flying speed to charge towards the French positions. Those terrifying heavy machine guns were really not ready!

The Mithradates Heavy Machine Gun was indeed powerful, but its operation was too complicated. It could not be compared with the mature machine guns of future generations.

Moving back and forth between the two sides and reconstructing the shooting platform was a time-consuming problem!

Facing the Prussian army's rapid charge, the only thing he could do was to once again engage in a close combat. Borrowing the high morale of the massacre just now, the two sides engaged in a tough, brutal close combat.

The war had returned to its original state. The people fighting in the dark shadows were no longer humans, but a group of wild beasts!

They used their bayonets to pierce through the enemy's body, used Engineer's spade s to tear off their opponents' skulls, and used their fists and teeth to attack the red-eyed non-humans in front of them.

They rolled over each other, blinded each other with their nails, and bit off the enemy's throat with their teeth!

This scene was so cruel that even the gods and ghosts did not dare to open their eyes!

The more savage a battle was, the closer one would be to the true nature of war! In the end, a war still had to be fought based on the number of people present. Prussian, who had a huge army of one hundred and twenty thousand, had the upper hand this time.

"Break through!" This was the third wave of soldiers charging in! Quick, look... "He broke through!"

The staff officers by Prince Karl's side roared in excitement. After suffering so many casualties, Prussian army had finally taken down the strongest and most strategically important outpost of the French people!

The French Army who had lost all their power began to flee to higher ground, followed by groups of Prussian army who were chasing after them!

Just at this time, the heavy machine guns at the rear of the French army opened fire once again. The fire spewed out, batches after batches of Prussian army were swept to the ground.

However, this time, Prussian had some experience. After the French heavy machine guns opened fire, they quickly lied down to fill their bullets and counterattack. Under the cover of the soldiers, they began to dig holes for themselves.

This set of homework was something that he had learnt from Xiao Letian. The work that the Chinese Army had displayed in the Poo War was enough to shock the entire Prussian army.

Then the Prussian officers began to share their experiences with the Chinese officers. Currently, more than half of the army in the Prussian army was able to carry out simple earthwork.

The soldiers curled up their bodies, trying to end their intimacy with the earth. Then, with one hand, they began to dig holes around them, and the soil they dug began to pile up in the direction of the enemy.

These holes for individual soldiers to shoot at did not need to be very deep. Twenty to thirty centimeters were enough for it to fit perfectly into the chest of the soldiers. There was also a twenty-centimeter small mound for the soldiers to shoot in front of them, just enough for the Mauser's rifle s to stand on.

After the war, there were mathematicians and Military experts who had done all kinds of meticulous calculations. They discovered that this kind of single-soldier shooting bunker that was only 20-30 cm long could reduce the probability of being shot by 70% even though it was simple!

Especially in the dark of the night, it was very difficult for the Heavy Machine gunner to discover any soldiers close to the ground, which would reduce the number of casualties even more!

One by one, the single soldier shooting craters formed! Very quickly, the rain of bullets from the Prussian army's counterattack was able to clash with the French army. Under their cover, even more Prussian army began to tear down the sandbags left behind by the French, and one by one, they charged up to build their own defensive positions!

"Very good, let our soldiers fight steadily, and we'll attack step by step like this. Foshan Mountain Pulse is not very big, we'll be able to surround Napoleon III in one night!"

Prince Karl picked up the cup of ice-cold green tea and gulped it down. Only then did he realise how sweet and refreshing the cup of tea was!

The war had already reached the battle stage. The French had consecutively constructed nine defensive positions along the Foshan Mountain Pulse. After paying a heavy price, the Prussian army only broke through three.

However, even though the battle was bitter, the Prussian soldiers were experienced. They knew that the French side only had heavy machine guns left!

As long as he was able to move forward steadily and learn some Chinese soil and wood work experience, although it would be slower, it would still be effective!

When the French became dizzy, the soldiers started charging even faster. They had to get into the melee battle before the heavy machine guns of the Prussian army opened fire.

If the soldiers were hit by heavy machine guns even before the two sides clashed, they would immediately seek cover and then use artillery to bombard the exposed positions of the heavy machine guns!

This was a tactic that tested the coordination of the infantry cannon and the standard of the soil operations. This tactic had already gained some hints of the first world war period. It could be said that the overall battle strategy was nearly half a century higher than that of the French!

McMahon paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, he roared at the needle on his pocket watch: "It's already three-thirty in the morning! Is there an end to Prussian? "

"They've already left tens of thousands of corpses, right? Why isn't there a ceasefire? When did Karl become so crazy? "Why is that?"

"Why is that?"
