C369 The Battle of Spirit and Spirit (1/2)
”No …” Ta Bulisibojue let out a tragic wail like a wolf, he looked at the retreating crowd and roared, and the Count, who had lost her mind, even took out her gun and fired three consecutive shots, knocking down the frontmost of the defeated soldiers.
”Go back!” Everyone go back! Shame, you are the shame of the Empire... Raising your head and looking at your enemies, we only have three hundred people, only three hundred people … ”
Yes, Old Count was right. The enemies are only three hundred, but whether they are human or not is questionable. He had never seen such a tenacious soldier, nor had he ever encountered such a crazy firepower density.
Once the more than three hundred Mauser's rifle began to fire at full speed, they actually shot out over a thousand of them. Adding to the countless grenades and incendiary bombs in the special mix camp, it caused the charging Austrian Army to suffer the most casualties.
It's not that we can't accept sacrifice, we know that the enemy is just a little bit, but as a commander, you have to consider how much psychological pressure an increase in casualties can bring to the soldiers, and they are also moments when even the most powerful of nerves can crumble.
If the first charge doesn't work, we can still charge the second, the third … However, after our fifth and sixth failed charge, as a commander, you have to consider the feelings of the soldiers.
The enemy can no longer be defeated, so why do you want us to die for nothing? If you want to die, why don't you want to die first?
Not only did the corpses of the three defeated soldiers not shock the soldiers, but they even caused a strange feeling to arise in everyone's heart. At this time, a Colonel Battalion Commander who was drenched in sweat rushed in front of Old Count along with the stream of people, grabbing the reins of his horse and shouting.
”Regiment commander, we cannot continue fighting like this. The casualties are far too severe …” The people on the other side are not humans at all, they are a group of devils! ”
”The new type of rifle is very fast and accurate, one incendiary bomb goes down into a sea of fire. I can't even remember how many types of grenades they used, there are even smoke bomb s that exploded with yellow poisonous smoke. All the brothers who smelt the poisonous gas won't be able to do it …”
”My Lord Count!” I can't keep fighting like this and I'll be puzzled? Do we really need this plateau? Can't we just go across the stone bridge and set up defenses on the plains … ”
With a crisp smack, the Old Count's horsewhip was whipped off. A line of blood immediately flowed out of the colonel's face.
”Shut up! You coward... You want me to go to the plains? Damn it, there's a thorn right behind us that's threatening us. How do you think we're going to put up our defenses? What if they attack Second Corps from the front and back? ”
Old Count had already gone mad. He suddenly raised his gun and pointed it at the colonel's forehead as he said coldly, ”I'll give you one last chance. Otherwise, I will shoot you! ”
”Instructor …” ”No way!” The surrounding officers all surrounded them, ”Baron Qiao Zhi is not a coward. He has followed you for six years. He is your most loyal warrior! ”
When the group of nobles saw that Old Count was about to go crazy, they immediately rushed forward and hugged his waist, and snatched away his gun. They were not harming the Old Count, they were saving him.
”Calm down. Your Lordship, please calm down …” Baron Peng Ka who was holding onto Old Count's wrist said softly, ”Are you crazy? Qiao Zhi is a very famous aristocrat in the Prague region, and he is also one of your highly regarded subordinates, how can you kill him? ”
”Calm down, calm down! It doesn't matter if you shot a few deserters. If you shot a noble, it will shake the entire Europe. At that time, even the His Majesty the King will not be able to save you … ”
”I don't care... I don't care about all that. I only want this high ground right now, wuu … Look at all of this, if we cannot take it down, then our thornbush gardener will immediately disband, and we won't be able to return to the Military for the rest of our lives … ”
”Don't forget my order. Soldiers, retreat. I will shoot the class monitor and the class monitor. I will shoot Queue length.” And so on and so forth until I am done, when the time comes, the His Majesty the King will personally give me a bullet … ”
Old Count was about to go crazy, his face was full of red saliva flying everywhere, the group of officers was almost unable to control him, and at this time, the soldiers who had retreated stopped their steps and looked at the furious teacher with puzzled eyes.
The soldiers did not understand the situation. They did not know if their leader was telling the truth, but they knew clearly in their hearts that if Baron Qiao Zhi was shot to death, none of the soldiers present would escape.
Soldiers will follow the lead, grass will follow the wind! As long as the important figures were willing to lose their lives, what choice did the other soldiers have?
At this time, Baron Qiao Zhi looked at the furious teacher, feeling terrified in his heart. He knew that it was impossible not to give the Count a way out, so he gritted his teeth and said, ”Teacher, you don't have to do anything. Am I not allowed to die on the battlefield? ”What are you all looking at? If the teacher wants to shoot me, I'll shoot you all first …”
Baron Qiao Zhi was like a furious lion as he turned around and rushed towards the battlefield. His action really did boost the morale, at least the teachers in front of them all turned around and followed him, attacking the high grounds from all sides.
”Phew … Phew … Phew …” Old Count was so angry that his chest was rising and falling like a bellows. Looking at the back of Baron Qiao Zhi rushing to the high ground made him feel slightly better.
However, before Ta Bulisibojue could recover her composure, the scene on the battlefield had completely driven him crazy. Just as Baron Qiao Zhi was about a hundred meters away from the trench with hundreds of deserters, he encountered a group of countercharges from the knife drawing team.
A total of more than two hundred Austrian Army Warriors met with more than forty knife drawing team s obstructing them. Three or four hand grenades that were emitting yellow smoke exploded in front of the crowd, causing the charging crowd to momentarily stop.
When the light from the cold weapon was swung again, Baron Qiao Zhi did not even turn around to flee. He did not even have the courage to look back. But he was smart, he did not flee in the direction of the Old Count, instead he dived into the crowd and fled towards the east.
