C2867 step gun coordination (1/2)
In a short 20 minutes of ambushing, more than half of the two battalions were dead, and the rest of the soldiers were cowering in fear, no longer daring to enter the battlefield.
Luo Huo spat on the face of the surviving first Vice Battalion Commander, ”Scram! Go back to the court-martial! ”Let's see what kind of bullshit fight you guys are fighting …”
”Construction of artillery barricade …” ”Give me layers of propulsion...”
Luo Huo and Sima Yun had realized that they could not be polite with these Belgian Army people. They started to ignore the high ranking officers of the Belgium and directly ordered the low level soldiers to do so.
I can't command your Battalion Commander, could it be that I can't command the Queue length?
”Damned bastard, can't you carry sandbags in battle? ”Quickly build a cover for artillery fire!”
This era's cannons had not been equipped with a bulletproof deck, so it was very easy for people to be attacked by the enemy during the operation. Especially with this tactic of holding cannons and bayonet s, most artillery soldiers that reached the front line would fire from within the range of the enemy's rifle.
Very dangerous, extremely dangerous. At that moment, they had to have allies covering them.
These fearless Belgian Army did not dare to resist under the overbearing might of the Chinese soldiers. One by one, they carried the sandbags against the enemy's firepower and started to build a cover for the cannons to shoot from on the long street.
There were about one and a half meters of sandbag wall, with cannons hiding behind them. The cannons were adjusted in a small angle at a small crack on the sandbag wall, and the workers behind were ready to charge at any time. There were even many Belgium soldiers moving sandbags back and forth.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The Krupp steel gun opened fire almost at the nearest distance, and a small building more than two hundred meters away was blown up, leaving a big hole in one side of the wall.
The sniper saw the hidden French soldiers in the house, before they could escape, the bullets had already bored into their hearts as if they had grown eyes.
”Great fight …” Have the follow-up troops continue to push up the cannons! ”Time is our best ally, we have to fight steadily today, not hastily!”
Sima Yun and Luo Huo's troops formed two huge pincers attacks near the north city wall. With an attack range of over 800 meters, it had already formed two sharp triangles.
Each triangular protrusion was made up of more than ten cannons. The two protrusions covered each other, and it was as if they were trying to tear down the houses with their cannonballs.
The French army inside the Prism Castle were anxious. Although they had a strong cover so they were not afraid of the cannons shooting directly at them, they could do nothing to these Chinese.
The heavy machine gun fired, but the sandbag wall managed to block the rain of bullets bit by bit. The cannons on the city walls simply did not have enough firepower, and were completely unable to suppress the power of the new type Krupp cannon.
Usually, a single shot from the Prussian army would be able to kill a large group of guards with just a single bullet!
Taking advantage of the moment when the French were suppressed, Luo Huo's group quickly sent their soldiers to remove the sandbag wall and quickly advanced fifty meters forward. Then, they took the risk of huge casualties and started to build a new shooting position.
When Luo Huo's group began to move forward, Sima Yun's group commanded the Vertex Cannon to clear out the most dangerous targets of the French army, providing cover for Luo Huo's artillery.
After over a hundred soldiers died in the battle, Luo Huo's new base was finally completed. The cannons were loaded and the dozens of cannons fired again, causing the French defense troops to howl like ghosts.
When Luo Huo Tribe finally regained their balance, Sima Yun Clan immediately dismantled their artillery shell and started to push forward a distance of over 70 metres. Under the protection of the cannons, Sima Yun Clan only lost 80 people before they were able to rebuild their shooting position.
The two troops moved forward like a crab's pincers. Although it was very slow, it was very stable. The two troops became the ones with the lowest casualty rate in the entire battle.
The Chinese assault that was as stable as Mt. Tai, naturally attracted the attention of the French Army Commander. From the moment McMahon saw the Chinese flag, he started to secretly dispatch his troops.
”The mission that Alfred did not complete, we have to finish it for him. Your comrade died in sini, we have to avenge him …”
