Chapter 952： lonely (1/2)

In Turin, thick smoke rose from the roar of gunfire, and gunpowder smoke filled the entire city. The eagle flag that was hunting and fluttering in the wind was already broken and ragged, and seemed to fall in an instant.

Among the ruins of the collapsed buildings were dead bodies lying on the ground. From time to time, the screams of the wounded screamed, and the bleeding wounds were vaguely visible, but no one came forward to pay attention.

The strong smell of blood and sweat are mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant. The war still continues.

The Italian soldiers outside the city have already charged, ups and downs like waves, and their mouths uttered shouts that shook the world.

This is the cry of the soul, and the voices are contagious and inspiring each other, dispelling many inexplicable fears in the heart.

Gatling in the fortress was still vomiting tongues of fire, dragging the long-sounding bullets, cutting through the clear sky like locusts passing by, and saw soldiers falling to the ground continuously.

However, the hidden firepower did not last long. After the offensive was suspended, the artillery shells quickly vented, leaving nothing but ruins.

After the artillery fire, Italian soldiers in the rear attacked again. Heartbreaking screams, crazy killings, and fiery beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies crazy, and the war became more intense.

On the airship, Morks had put down the telescope, as if he couldn't bear to look directly at the scene in front of him.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Morquez would not believe that the troops fighting below were Italian soldiers.

Although the scene was a little chaotic and it was obviously lack of training, the fighting will shown by the Italians exceeded his expectations.

The heavy casualties did not frighten the Italians. In order to be able to seize the position immediately after the artillery fire, many Italian soldiers lie down and hide directly from a hundred meters away.

You should know that there is no high-tech guidance for the aiming of artillery shells these days. Even if the coordinates are determined, it is only a rough position. The hit rate depends on the artillery’s experience and luck. There is a slight deviation. Error.

This means that Italian soldiers who have not retreated will not only face the threat of enemy fire, but they may also be killed by their own artillery.

This kind of desperate spirit, and the legendary Italian army that pretended to be dead and fished on the battlefield, is not a species at all.

While being shocked, Morquez deepened his vigilance towards Italy. At this moment, he finally understood why the country would oppose the unification of the Italian region.

With so many people who are willing to work hard for this country, once the Italian region is unified, it will not be long before it will become a medium power.

For Austria, which has the French Empire in the west and the Russian Empire in the east, there is really no need for another great power in the south to increase its military pressure.

Although in a short period of time, France and Italy will become a deadly enemy, but who can say about politics?

After slowing down, Admiral Mork ordered: ”There is nothing to look at, land back to the headquarters.”

Austria's goal has been achieved. The use of Italians to consume French forces not only increased the hatred between France and Italy, but also increased the difficulty of Italian unification.

Turin is the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Sardinian army is duty-bound to regain the capital. The main force of the Italian army on the battlefield is dominated by the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The war is cruel. According to the current situation on the battlefield, when this battle is over, the 300,000 Sardinian troops will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The power of the most powerful states in the Italian region was weakened, the power gap between the states after the war narrowed, the regional balance policy of the Vienna government was realized, and everything was developing for the better.

...

In the French army command, Marshal Adrian asked with a green face: ”This is the fortifications of the impregnable city in your mouth?

Let the Austrians drain the blood? You are probably going to let the boys of France drain the blood! ”

It wasn't that Marshal Adrian was not strong enough in his heart, but that the reality was too slapped. Under the heavy artillery attack of the Austrian army, the planned city defense fortifications became a direct target.

In the previous battle, the French army lost a lot of artillery, so that the Turin garrison lacked enough heavy firepower to carry out an artillery counterattack.

Of course, this is not a big problem. After losing air supremacy, even if the French army had enough heavy artillery, there was no way to exert its power.

After all, once the artillery positions are exposed, they will encounter enemy air strikes. The heavy artillery was inconvenient to move, and it was unable to even run because of enemy air attack.

Distributed to the fortress, and unable to exert the power of the artillery cluster, after all, siege only needs to tear a hole. When any place is breached and enters the state of street fighting, the artillery that is difficult to move in the city becomes a decoration.

Lieutenant General Tom, who was in charge of the construction of the city defense fortifications, hurriedly explained: ”Marshal, we did not expect the enemy's firepower to be so fierce.

Turin’s fortifications are already at the top level in the world. They are mainly designed with reference to the intensity of the Russian-Prussian War. No one thought that the enemy would actually...”
