Wang Chen's combat team has a total of thirty-three people. According to the standard of three squads in a row, there should be thirty people, but three Prussian translators were added.
They were the first company to pass through the continuous Prussian camp and head towards the battlefield. When they left the camp, the Prussian artillery position behind them suddenly opened fire violently as if they were escorting them.
Boom boom boom... Continuous artillery sounds came one after another. The shells pierced the sky and shot towards the south. Dark clouds rose deep in the hilly forest in the distance, and the sound of explosions rolled in.
Wang Chen took out his binoculars and looked into the distance. In his sight, more than a hundred cavalry wearing silver breastplates and red breeches were spreading out and fleeing to the south.
"Fuck! It's so bright! Wearing Ya's red pants? Look at it, Luo Houhou..."
Deputy platoon leader Luo Houhou took the binoculars and burst into laughter when he looked at it. "What era is this? There's actually a lance on the horse! It's really a lance!"
Frank was stunned when he heard this. "Sir, can you let me have a look?"
Luo Houhou handed him the binoculars, and Frank was shocked when he saw it, "It's the cavalry of the Royal Guards of France! Is it the Emperor's Dragoons or the Queen's Cavalry Regiment? Is it the Prince's Cavalry Regiment? No, no, no..."
"It's impossible. Prince Eugene holds the title of King of Algeria. Most of his cavalry regiments are North African knights. They dress differently..."
"Sir, this kind of cavalry equipped with lances must be a team directly under the palace. They are also responsible for ceremonial training. These troops must maintain tradition!"
"Tradition? Hahaha... Does tradition mean that they use wooden poles and spears to stab the enemy in the butt?" Wang Chen laughed.
Frank frowned: "Sir, don't underestimate these cavalry. Their defense is still very strong, and their cold weapons are not useless!"
“In the Austro-Prussian War, the charge of the Austrian cavalry regiment brought us huge casualties. As long as the cavalry survives the casualties in the initial charge, once they rush into the enemy’s position, these spears and sabers are more useful than rifles and bayonets! "
"Okay, what you said makes sense... But you just said that these are the Guards regiments directly under the French royal family. How could they carry out the first wave of testing missions? Shouldn't it be the local garrison cavalry regiment that is doing this? Is this such a thing?" Wang Chen asked confused.
"I don't know much about this...it seems we can only rely on our investigation!"
"Why do you care so much? Now the enemy has been dispersed by artillery, but they will definitely not escape. Let's infiltrate and explore at close range..." Luo Houhou had fought in the Ryukyu Defense War and had a deep hatred for these French guys. Like the sea, when I see these red breeches, I want to stab him with a transparent hole!
"The three squads dispersed, advanced in a zigzag formation, and quickly entered the forest... I didn't expect there to be so many forests here!" Wang Chen gave an order, and more than thirty special operations team members divided into a zigzag formation to support each other and quickly entered the open area.
Ahead is the edge of a large forest. Marking on the map that entering that forest is equivalent to entering the French border. There are even stone boundary markers faintly visible deep in the pasture in the distance.
"The Chinese are approaching the border... Stop shooting, stop artillery shooting!" The observation post at the Prussian camp in the rear was paying close attention to every move of the Chinese soldiers and giving instructions to the artillery positions at any time.
Ten minutes after Wang Chen and the others submerged into the forest, the other two battalions of special forces, totaling more than a thousand people, also quickly left the Prussian camp, infiltrating like night elves on the long border line that was ten kilometers deep. to France.
Forests, forests everywhere! Once they entered the French border, Wang Chen and the others realized how good Europe's environmental protection was!
The forests in Europe are completely different from those in East Asia. First of all, the tree species are all very different. There are many tall oaks, beech, apple trees, teak, etc., but there is not a single locust tree, willow and other common tree species in China.
If it weren't for the war, it would be a beautiful thing for people to walk in such a forest. The forest here is vast but not very dense. Many of the thick trees are ancient trees that are hundreds or even hundreds of years old.
However, the distance between trees is very large. The huge tree crowns block the sun like pavilions. Only a small amount of shrubs and grass grow under the shade of the trees.
"No wonder the French cavalry dares to come and go like the wind to harass the border. The terrain here is really suitable for cavalry activities!" Wang Chen sighed as he looked at the map and compared the environment on the left and right.
"Such a large area of forest can provide cover for the cavalry regiment, but the distance between the trees is very large, and it does not affect the speed of the horses..."
Cuckoo...cuckoo...
Just when Wang Chen was drawing various military symbols on the map, a unique cuckoo call suddenly came from the front. With this sound, the combat team of more than ten people immediately stopped. Everyone squatted on the ground to find cover, holding hands in their hands. Rifles raised in alert defense all around.
Soon someone ran back from the front and said, "Report to the platoon leader! There is a road ahead. More than a hundred cavalry who have just been dispersed by artillery are gathering on the road to rest... Please give instructions!"
"Continue to explore and be careful!"
"Yes! Platoon commander... But we have just reached fifty meters away from the enemy's resting place. Our camouflage effect is very good. They can't even notice it if we lie in the bushes!"
"The brother exploring the path now is trying to crawl to around thirty meters..."
"You can give it a try, but be careful and pay attention to safety! You must not approach within thirty meters!"
The special forces team members exploring the path received the order and turned around and ran forward. Wang Chen handed over to the deputy platoon leader and the squad leader of the third squad, and held an emergency meeting.
"Brothers, there are only more than thirty of us, but there are a hundred enemies! The gap is indeed not small... but I also want to eat them! Do you dare to try!"
Frank, the translator, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. "I object! How is this possible? We are only more than thirty people, how can we deal with more than a hundred cavalry? This is a dream!"
"Sir, the order we received is to inquire about the enemy's situation, engage in small-scale firefights with the enemy, and disperse them to kill and injure them first! We must not take action in this situation where the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered!"
The three translators themselves represented Prussia's position. They were shocked when they heard that the Chinese people had such a big appetite!
Wang Chen was not angry and turned to Luo Houhou and said, "How many people did we bring out?"
"Three hundred and twenty-five, a quarter of them are bombs, and the rest are all high-explosive bombs!"
"Do our snipers have enough ammunition?"
"The six snipers have been prepared for a long time. They have brought enough bullets, and we have also brought some for them. It is enough!"
"Haha...then what am I afraid of? Eat these bastards! Show our prestige!"
