War is really not a game that can be won by relying on more people. There are many keys to the outcome of a war, among which the ability to continuously and stably output firepower is the key to the outcome of a war.
Firepower is a war proposition that cannot be outdated. Even in the cold weapon era, the effective killing range of crossbows and spears and daggers in the hands of soldiers is the concept of firepower output.
The human arm pulls the bow string and lifts the prisoner of war. The biological energy is burning and the muscles output power. This is actually a release of fire power!
When humans entered the military era, they became more intuitive about firepower output, and all military thoughts actually revolved around the ultimate proposition of firepower output.
Those with strong firepower defeat those with weak firepower, and those with continuous and stable output of firepower defeat those with chaotic and unrhymed output... This has become the iron law of war.
The bloody battle on Spike Island directly proved the importance of firepower. When you can create a strong local firepower output network, the enemy's strength advantage will no longer exist.
The French army who fought fiercely with Xiang Ying and others in the woods suffered a lot. Although their besieging numbers continued to be more than three times that of the Chinese, no one could break through the Chinese firepower network.
Those snipers with extremely accurate marksmanship can always eliminate the most threatening targets immediately. French officers who have exposed their whereabouts, and grenadiers who attempt to drop bombs at close range cannot escape the eyes of snipers.
Amidst the rhythmic firing, the French army's newly restored command system was once again completely destroyed!
The remaining soldiers have become headless flies and can only launch an almost suicidal attack under the command of some veterans.
However, the Chinese guns, guns, and melee weapon shotguns could always easily neutralize waves of enemy attacks. As a result, at the end of the battle, more than 200 Chinese soldiers suppressed several times the number of French soldiers. The strange sight of a one-sided army.
After the war, after many studies and demonstrations, French military experts finally had to sigh and said, "After decades of development, French military thought has completely taken a detour!"
"The French Emperor basically clicked on all the wrong technology trees. In terms of individual firepower output, France has fallen behind the Chinese... The so-called legendary heavy machine guns are just data on paper. In real battlefields , this kind of weapon is completely useless!"
"On the contrary, looking at the artillery technology of the Prussian army, as well as the elite individual weapons of the Chinese armed to the teeth, they have become sharp weapons to crush the backward French army!"
After the entire Battle of Spike Island, military experts and mathematicians from various European countries conducted a mathematical analysis. They calculated the consumption of ammunition during the entire battle, and even the time of close combat.
They made a total amount of firepower output from the three parties, and then distributed it evenly to each soldier!
The frightening data shocked European military experts. In this war, the Prussian soldiers had a large number of fire support from Krupp steel cannons. Their individual firepower output was actually five times that of the French army!
And the firepower output by each of the two hundred Chinese soldiers was actually four times that of the French army!
But don't forget, the Chinese no longer have artillery support, they rely entirely on the various individual weapons they carry!
It can be said that purely in terms of individual combat, the Chinese have become the absolute kings in this war!
It is impossible for any country's army soldiers to have more firepower output than Chinese soldiers!
war! Firepower is king! Xiao Letian's thinking was extremely clear from the beginning, and he didn't have any hesitation or confusion from the beginning!
Spike Island is a long and narrow island with a length of about seven kilometers from east to west, but a width of less than three kilometers from north to south!
In other words, as long as the Chinese can break through this three-kilometer line of life and death, they can unite with the Prussian troops and successfully break through to the mainland!
At this moment, Xiang Ying and the others have gone deep into the woods more than 500 meters away from the island. From here, they can already see the fierce battlefield in the south, and they can also see countless French troops mobilizing their troops between the two armies!
Xiang Ying and the others repelled another wave of French attacks. They carefully observed the movements of the Prussian army at the edge of the forest, and watched everything on the battlefield with telescopes in their hands.
"We are less than two kilometers away from the Prussian army, but unfortunately, there are more than 5,000 French troops blocking these two kilometers!"
"Now we have only two ways to go. The first is to stay in this forest and passively wait for friendly forces to come over..."
"Or we can take risks and attack, pass through the small town ahead, and enter the denser oak forest! Only in an area with such a complex environment, can our small number of people have the possibility to protect ourselves!"
Lin Zhen, who looked pale, held onto the tree trunk with one hand to resist the dizziness in his head. "We can't wait to die. The ammunition we carry is limited. If we continue to engage in firefights with the French army, I'm afraid there will be two or three more assaults. We won't even be able to survive." All the bullets are gone!”
"Take the risk and rush forward! We must shorten the distance with the Prussian army! Send them emergency fireworks to ask them to fight harder... Tell them directly... We don't have many bullets anymore!"
"At this time, we have to believe in the faith of the Prussians! They will not abandon their allies. This is what the head of state has said a long time ago... cough cough cough..." Lin Zhen began to cough violently before he finished speaking. stand up.
Jin Sanshun supported him and asked in a low voice, "Can you bear it? I still have a shot of morphine here. It's the last shot..."
Lin Zhen shook his head, "Save it for the most critical moment! I can still hold on..."
Xiang Ying looked around and found that no brother had any objections. He nodded, "Okay... Since everyone wants to bet on this, let's fire the final signal flare! Let's rush out..."
Swish, swish... red fireworks shot up from the forest into the sky, exploding clouds of blood-red smoke in mid-air. The Prussian army in the distance naturally had a complete set of signal bomb code tables for communicating with the Chinese.
When three consecutive bursts of blood-red fireworks exploded, it meant that the most critical moment had arrived!
"Descendants of Brandenburg and Prussia! The Allies have almost run out of ammunition! But we are still two kilometers away from them!"
"The whole army attacks! Press forward and use our bayonets to kill the two kilometers of life and death passage!"
"Save people...save the allies on the Zhiyuan! Kill..."
The Prussian troops on the beach rushed towards the French army like waves. They stared at the rain of bullets and charged desperately regardless of casualties. In just a moment, the two armies collided.
The air was suddenly filled with blood, bayonets piercing the human body, and everyone was beating like crazy!
Two steam fishing boats on the strait rushed towards the island at full speed, followed by fishing boats one after another, and the decks were crowded with densely packed Prussian soldiers.
"Quick, quick... speed up... it's too late... everyone jumps off the boat and swims to the shore..."
The fishing boat was still seventy or eighty meters away from the shore. These soldiers couldn't wait any longer and jumped off the deck one after another, making splashes of water like dumplings.
The entire sea area was full of Prussian soldiers fighting for the beach. They trudged hard in the sea and stepped onto the beach of Speke Island one by one. Before the troops could gather, they launched a charge against the French army one after another. .
