"Follow quickly! Prepare to attack!"
"Don't show off! Don't show off! You want to take a bullet!"
Jin Biao, who was still the squad leader, led the soldiers in his squad towards a lying sandbag truck.
Cars with steel bearings are actually much more durable than previous cars with wooden bearings.
But after being hit by a solid shell, the steel bearing was also blown out. The cart with more than a dozen sandbags hanging on it was now impossible to push, and now it became a bunker for Jin Biao and his brothers.
Now there are only eight people left in Jinbiao's class.
There were four fewer people than when it was full.
Three people have been killed, and one person is lying in a field hospital. It is not known whether he can be rescued. Not to mention that it is said that if he is rescued, he will lose an arm.
"This guy is lucky!"
Jin Biao thought.
Disabled by wounds on the battlefield, at least one gold medal.
With this gold medal, I can serve as a member of the local council for at least one term when I return to my hometown.
Although the families of fallen soldiers can also receive a lot of benefits.
But no matter how many benefits there are, I can’t spend them all.
While Jin Biao was thinking, he asked the soldiers at hand to lie down in the sandbags, while he quietly emerged to observe.
The Rakshasa ghost also appeared in the distance.
Three waves of infantry skirmishers appeared in the front, middle and back.
"The Rakshasa ghost is quite smart." Jin Biao muttered in a low voice.
War is indeed the best thing that can inspire human potential.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Russian infantry also began to form a strategy of skirmishing assaults in waves - just like in World War I, this was a method summed up with human lives.
These Russian infantrymen had not taken a few steps, and some stopped and knelt down to fire their guns. Bullets flew over the sandbags.
"Three hundred and fifty steps" Gold Mark estimated the distance.
"Everyone is hiding, don't fire yet, wait for orders!"
He turned and said loudly to his brothers.
at this distance.
The breech-loading guns they had on hand had a hard time hitting their opponents.
On the contrary, the opponent's front-loading rifled gun has a much longer range due to its better sealing than the current breech-loading gun.
Of course.
The Western Expeditionary Army had an infantry battalion fully equipped with front-loaded rifles.
The guys they have on hand are very sophisticated "sniper rifles".
The range is very long and the trajectory is very stable.
The soldiers in the sniper battalion are also elite veterans drawn from the Ming Army.
Enemies at long distances are naturally dealt with by people from the sniper battalion.
But such a long distance.
Veterans of the sniper battalion are also difficult to hit.
Probably because they felt that shooting from such a long distance was a waste of bullets, the Russian infantry's gunfire gradually became sparse, and everyone started to move forward with their heads covered.
At this moment.
The Ming army's howitzers roared.
The God of War Tea trembled and tilted his artillery towards the Russian infantry line forming three waves of skirmishers in front.
The shells exploded on the steppe, creating large and small gaps in the wide skirmish line.
However, these casualties are still barely bearable compared to the casualties suffered when they rushed forward in dense horizontal lines and were bombarded a few years ago.
Under the desperate control of middle and lower-level officers of the Russian army.
The Russian army still formed three skirmishing waves, like thin blue waves pushing forward, and soon the Ming army soldiers on the front line felt tremendous pressure.
But Jinbiao didn't panic.
He can be said to be a veteran of many battles. What is there to be afraid of lying behind a bunker?
Wasn't it more nerve-wracking than lining up face to face to be shot?
Moreover, the Ming army's military discipline is very strict now. There is a 20 to 30% chance of dying if you stay here. If you die, your family can still get a lot of pension, and your descendants can also be protected.
But if you run away.
Then there is a probability of death of more than 90% - it is too difficult to escape the control range of the Ming army.
and.
Even if you die, you will die in vain, and all the land and other things you get will have to be taken back.
Immediate family members cannot serve as soldiers or officials, and there are even restrictions on doing business.
Which one is more important?
The gold mark can still be distinguished.
Behind the Russian army.
Dozens of senior officers of the Russian army looked a little uneasy.
The current war situation is greatly unfavorable to the Russian army.
Originally, they thought that the defense of barbed wire and trenches was foolproof.
But who would have thought.
These Chinese people are so clever!
They actually used the outdated shield vehicles to cover the advance of the infantry and artillery. Now the Ming army's artillery set up artillery positions relying on the bunkers formed by large and small shield vehicles.
If more Ming army artillery fire could fall directly from the air into the Russian trenches in the form of high-projection trajectories, then the Russian troops hiding in the trenches would have to suffer fierce shelling.
In fact, it was not impossible - later trenches were quickly changed from horizontal and vertical forms to zigzag shapes, and a large number of bomb shelters were arranged to avoid shelling.
So by World War II and even in modern times.
The trenches are still very important.
So much so that "soil work" has become the most basic skill for infantry.
However, the current Russian army is not a civilized and powerful force with explosive subjective initiative.
Even improving trenches doesn't require much thinking.
But it is impossible for the Russian army to think of a solution in a short time.
Therefore, they could only risk sending infantry to expel the Ming army's artillery.
As a result, the defensive positions of barbed wire and trenches they built lost part of their functions.
"The Chinese can actually think of such a method. Is the invincible defense of barbed wire and trenches going to be breached?"
A Russian officer murmured.
What he actually doesn't know is.
The shield car is a kind of earth tank.
The mainstream trench warfare in later generations was ended by the assault of a torrent of tanks.
The Ming army's current method of using shield vehicles to cover artillery and infantry is actually similar to the idea of later generations of infantry and tanks cooperating in blitz warfare.
Moreover, the Ming army now has no tanks, and the Russian army's firepower is far inferior to the armies of various countries that were generally equipped with machine guns during World War I.
Both sides happened to be equally matched.
"Damn it! If only there were some guns with better aim."
A Russian officer murmured.
Better aiming gun
Isn't it just a direct aim at a rifled gun?
There is a saying that goes as high as the Tao and as high as the devil.
War is the best way to fully unleash human potential.
At the same time, the Russian counterattack was also blocked by the Ming army, which relied on sandbags for defense. Just like what happened in the history of the Austro-Prussian War, front-loading guns are no match for breech-loading guns, and the advantage of long range is very difficult to exert on the battlefield. Because not many soldiers can hit an enemy lying down or hiding behind a bunker from 400 yards away.
"It seems there is a tough battle tonight!"
"Let's fight! What kind of tough battles have our Russian warriors never fought?"
"There is indeed nothing to be afraid of! The enemy's main attack direction has been determined!"
Musayev said blankly.
"This decisive battle is related to the empire's territory in Asia. If we win, the empire will still be a big country spanning Europe and Asia. If we lose, we will have no choice but to take back Europe. Sooner or later, our territories in Asia will be annexed by the Chinese!"
"His Majesty the Tsar! Waiting for news of our victory!!" (End of this chapter)
