C353 Artillery combat and charge (1/2)
”Get down, everyone get down …” Avoiding gunfire, hiding in a blind spot on the south side of the trench … ”You bastard, what are you doing? Hurry up and get down …”
”Lower your head …” Everyone lowered their heads... Open your mouth... Block Ears... Are you f * cking deaf? ”You're really deaf …”
”Damn it, is this the cannon battle that the lord spoke of? F * ck you, laozi isn't afraid of you … ”
When the main force of thornbush gardener's Fourth Brigade appeared in front of the special mix camp brothers, they did not hesitate at all to start firing a barrage of cannons.
It had to be known that in this era, no matter how strong the army was, they would only be able to use solid artillery shells and flowering bomb mixed together. The complete spread of flowering bomb could only be done during the Franco-Prussian War four years later.
This was the first time that the Xiao Letian Army and the Hamburg recruit had to face a real artillery barrage. This kind of apocalyptic scene, which was almost like the end of the world, scared everyone silly. No matter how prepared they were previously, when they encountered a real artillery battle, they would all feel an undefeatable illusion from the bottom of their hearts.
”Heaven Collapses and Earth Shatters …” The Gates of Hell have been opened... ”I don't want to die, I want to live …” Suddenly, a Hamburg recruit who had lost his temper, stood up and was about to escape from the trench, but his Chinese class monitor, Tian Zhang, caught his belt in one go.
”You bastard, you're courting death …” Squat down, hurry up and squat down … ” Just as the two were entangling themselves, a cannonball exploded less than twenty meters away from them.
The dirt flew like a storm, shrapnel whizzed in the air, and the blast knocked them both to the ground.
”Squad leader!” How are you... Your back is covered in blood... ”Aiya, a big chunk of your butt has been cut off …”
”What!?” What did you say? ”I can't hear you …” Tian Dazhang's ears were filled with sonic booms. Compared to the injuries to his ears, his butt was like a piece of cake.
”Louder, haven't you guys had breakfast in the morning? You, you, you, you … Hold that bastard down, then tie him up for me.
Just as he was speaking, another ear-piercing scream came from midair. Tian Zhang's most furious and most admired rogue soldier, Si Diwen, pounced towards him like a tiger.
”Squad leader, be careful...” ”The second wave of enemy bombings is coming …”
The group of people tightly lied at the bottom of the trench, trying their best to get their bodies close to the south trench. This was the blind spot of the cannonball explosion, and shrapnel and shock waves would not be able to reach here.
At this time, Xiao Letian was hiding in the third trench, where there was a temporary explosion-proof bunker. In reality, it was a large trench, top of the trench was a layer of tree trunk adding a layer of mud, and no matter how thick the tree trunk was, it had to be a full five storeys thicker to form Xiao Letian's recommended headquarters.
Initially, according to Xiao Letian's request, he wanted to personally go to first trench to stand with his brothers. However, he didn't expect that King Yi, Dragon Lord and all the other military officers and soldiers would agree to do this, so much that even Dragon Lord moved his hands.
He had no choice but to watch his brothers get blown up. ”Damn it, damn it!” Was this the true battle of cannons? ”It's only 76 field gun and they have already created such a huge wave of commotion. The scene in the movies where 10,000 cannons were fired in the past wasn't as spectacular as it is now …”
”Damn it, no matter how awesome a Hollywood director is, he shouldn't even think about filming such a realistic battle scene. It's so satisfying, so satisfying …” Brother Shi, Dragon Lord, look, this is what I meant by cannon warfare. Remember, this is the mainstream of future wars.
King Yi and Dragon Lord had long gotten used to going mad from time to time. What Hollywood, what director, why don't you just not ask, Xiao Letian will definitely not give you the answer.
But putting aside the crazy things that Xiao Letian had said, the remaining dry goods were worth thinking about. Especially for the King Yi, it was not like he had never seen tens of thousands of cannons fired at the same time. Back in the days when the heaven and the Xiang Army were fighting each other, he had also seen hundreds of cannons firing at each other.
But today it was completely different from before. The current cannon technology in Europe was already a thousand miles long. The old pre-installed cannons were lining up to be retrained.
When no one in the Qing Empire knew what rifling was, not only had guns been used widely in Europe, but even muskets had been destroyed. Not to mention the popularity of flaring artillery shells and new explosives, all of these combined together presented a terrifying scene of destruction.
”Oh my god, if we fight like this all the time in the future, would there still be a way for us martial artists to survive? ”I've never been able to hold a single bullet in my whole life of martial arts practice, not to mention this kind of artillery shell …” Just as the Dragon Lord was deep in thought, there was a sudden boom and a cannonball landed in the main camp. The intense explosion almost shattered the roof.
”Lord, be careful …” His chest was pressed so close to the ground and his heart could feel the tremors from the explosion, and the concealment above his head began to drop out of the ground, causing the entire headquarters to be thrown into a complete mess.
