C2667 Night Descends (1/2)
They could not believe their eyes. Who would have thought that the Prussian army, under the obvious disadvantage, would actually be able to launch a countercharge, and even gain the advantage?
Explosions could be heard endlessly from the city wall. The position where Foreign Legion had finally regained her footing was being snatched away one by one. Very quickly, Prussian soldiers began to throw explosives at the city wall.
”Fire support!” ”What are you looking at?” Flosad scolded angrily.
The three Mithradates began firing again with their heavy machine guns. A large portion of the Prussian army on the city wall was swept away, and the situation of the dropping of the bombs was suppressed.
However, they never expected that Prussian army would be so tenacious. Just as the heavy machine guns stopped firing and the French started climbing the ladder, the soldiers actually stood up from the pile of corpses, ignited their detonators, pulled on their grenades and threw them down.
Amidst the explosive sounds, countless French soldiers were killed, followed by a heavy machine gun firing that swept over all the Prussian army!
However, the French underestimated the tenacity of the Prussian army. When the heavy machine guns stopped firing, the Prussian soldiers who did not fear death appeared again and threw bombs and bullets at the city walls.
”Damn it, damn it! Are all these Prussian crazy? Are they really not afraid of death? You dare to have a deadlock with so few people? ”Do they all want to die here …”
The Second Army was Flosad's lifeblood. Almost all of them were Empire's veterans here, and they were all the Emperor's core elites. Every time a soldier died, his heart would ache so much that it would drip blood.
The war had just begun. What if the Second Army was unable to participate in the subsequent battles due to the excessive number of casualties? Didn't others steal the merit points from him?
What should he do? Was it to continue the attack without regard for the casualties? Or was it to surround and wait for reinforcements to conserve his strength? Flosad fell into a deep contradiction.
However, under this delay, the battlefield suddenly changed, and a Rangers came over quickly.
”Sir!” A large number of Prussian army s have appeared in the north, the reinforcements of the enemy have arrived! ”
”Reinforcements? ”How many soldiers!”
”Sir, there are a total of three regiments!”
”What?” It's only three regiments, did you see wrongly? ”
”Sir, we have confirmed it more than ten times. There are indeed only three flags and no higher ranked ones. Furthermore, there are only four or five thousand people!”
”An oiling tactic? Even if these people were sent here, it wouldn't be as many as me. Are they here to send themselves to their deaths? ”Could it be …”
Thinking about it, Flosad's eyes lit up, ”Could all the information he obtained be wrong? Could Prussian's gathering power not be that strong at all? ”
”Hahaha …” It must be like this, and even said that they would gather 30,000 soldiers a day. If there really are so many soldiers, they would not let this strategic location go! ”
”They are in a hurry to withdraw their troops from the other frontlines to support the Salbrucon, their forces are already at their elbows!”
”Ha ha-ha, it's like this. War games always favor the attackers. We are the invaders. We can fight wherever we want with the long border!”
”The defense side doesn't have this kind of initiative. They have to average out their limited military strength to all critical areas, which is why they have this extra tactic!”
”Attack, continue attacking!” The enemy is already at the end of their rope! ”
Flosad made his own judgement. He continued to maintain the thirty thousand strong main assault team and go attack the Salbrucon. Then, he took out six thousand of his troops to circle around the city to the north and began fighting with the enemy on the wild in the north.
