C356 Second round of shelling

The Old Count originally wanted to reserve some ammunition for his artillery so that they could be thrown at Prince Karl's head. However, the cowardly Huai Te suffered a crushing defeat and messed up all of his plans.

Soldiers fought with morale, so why did the first two groups of soldiers charge and scatter almost to the point of total annihilation and no escape? The reason was because at that time, the Austrian Army was extremely imposing. Even a lot of people did not think that they would lose.

In order to protect this precious bit of morale, the Old Count did not hesitate to use up a third of his ammunition. Furthermore, he locked all of the first group's soldiers, who were defeated by Viscount Ah Lan, in the rear.

But now, all of their hard work had been ruined by that bastard Huai Te. The soldiers who had escaped would spread the terrifying seeds within their own legions as fast as possible, and the soldiers who were originally as spirited as balloons feared that the existing words of these losers would shatter the hopes of countless people for victory.

Right now, there was only one way out, and that was to bully the Chinese but not the artillery. They had to have a few more squads of cannons fire at the same time, allowing the flames and explosions to once again boost the already shaken morale.

However, Old Count was also deeply worried. These were the few deep trenches in front of him. In this day and age, trench warfare was very rare, and digging trenches in people's minds was just a way for towns and military fortresses to defend themselves from the enemy. No one had ever thought of using such things in a field battle.

However, just these few simple earth ditches had created a miracle in the earlier artillery barrage. Nearly a thousand artillery shells were slanted onto the ground, and the actual casualties were actually a single digit.

Of course, the Old Count would not know the exact number of casualties in the special mix camp, so even if he was worried, he had no other choice. If he could not even eat these two battalions, then the mission of blocking the Second Corps for an hour would be like a spring and autumn dream.

"The artillery position moves forward one kilometer and is close enough to shoot. I don't believe it, is the enemy really made of iron? My brave Austria soldiers, the enemies in front of you are just a bunch of weak Chinese. They can't even protect their own capitals, and don't even dare to take revenge on the summer palace that burned down their emperor … "

"They are a bunch of cowards. A bunch of cowards who only know how to hide in the dark and shoot coldly …" "They didn't even dare to fight us openly, only knowing that the local rats are hiding in the earth pits …"

"Warriors of the Empire! Are we afraid of these cowards? God is in heaven watching us, and the king is waiting for the news of victory. Even if you do not fight for God and the king, you must fight for your dignity … "

The leader of the Peng Ka Brigade urged his horse to gallop wildly in front of the base. He was constantly encouraging the soldiers' morale.

Austrian Army's preparation for battle had similarly alarmed Xiao Letian, but when he realized that the enemy was constantly cheering up their morale and was not about to attack, he had already guessed the enemy's plan.

"Get your brothers ready, the wounded will retreat into the third trench. The rest of the soldiers will split into half and carefully hide within the second trench …" It seems that the Austrian Army is going to play for real this time, this is the peace before the storm, the enemies are preparing to blast them! "

"This bunch of damned Austrian Army, they lost more than 2000 lives in a row. They are already anxious, they want to fight us to the death! But I won't give you a chance, Shiqiao uplands is destined to become a sad place for your people … "

After Xiao Letian's order, the three trenches started to gather people. Through the three-dimensional transportation channel, the people began to evacuate to the three bunkers on an average. The heavily-injured people were hidden at the back and the brothers who could fight were hiding in the first two trenches.

Everyone was already experienced at this point of time. Each of them carried their rifles as they leaned against the wall to the south of the trench. Everyone covered their ears and gaped their mouths, waiting for the enemy's artillery strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Austrian Army's artillery fire arrived as planned. Over seventy cannon cannons and howitzers pushed forward a thousand times, pulling the fire rope under gunner's direct aiming.

The blast from the cannon muzzles was so strong that thick smoke permeated the battlefield. Tens of explosive spots in the trench area exploded almost simultaneously, causing tons of dirt to be thrown into the air before falling down like a storm.

Tian's ear was injured in the trenches, so he started to shout loudly, "It's already stabilized, no one needs to be afraid. My master said to protect us, that way we can be safe …" Was the previous bombardment powerful? How many of us are dead? "So, the enemies are all paper tigers …"

Perhaps it was the people who had lost their hearing, but they would subconsciously raise their voices. Tian Zhang himself wouldn't be able to feel how loud their voices were, but Si Diwen, who was beside him was already tortured to the point of being unable to speak, their voices were actually even louder than the sound of a bomb explosion.

"You, you, you, you … What are you mumbling about, brat? Shout louder, haven't you eaten? "Hmm …" It seems like it's almost time for lunch … "Damn, even if it's time for dinner, it's still wartime. You have to bear with it …"

Si Diwen really could not bear to listen any longer. He went close to Tian Chanzi's ear and roared loudly, "Squad leader … He didn't say he was going to eat... He said that if you continue shouting... Our military intelligence... and they were all heard by the Austrian Army … "Your voice is too loud …"

This voice was quite loud, it rang out right next to the ear, causing Tian's brain to buzz. "Why is this brat so loud?" I'm not deaf... Am I loud? "Why don't I feel it …"

This time, all of the brothers in the trench couldn't hold back their laughter. There was actually no one who faced a proper bombardment, if the opposing Austrian Army knew about this, his nose would probably be crooked from anger.

Although it was the first time that the special mix camp had ever faced a battlefield, they had already experienced the bloodiest, most brutal, and most gruesome battles. There were also the most gruesome battles in the trenches, and what made them even more gratified was that in these three completely different battles, they were actually all victors.

The veterans were created from victory after victory, and the new recruits were always timid when they first saw artillery bombardment. But after he experienced it once and discovered that it was nothing more than this, their courage multiplied.

The soil from the explosion almost buried them alive. However, what was strange was that in such a violent bombardment, not many people died, it was just that in the very beginning, one shell had killed five brothers, and not even one person was injured.

This is really a miracle, even the Hamburg recruit looked towards the high command post subconsciously, "Could it be that this Chinese Prime Minister really knows magic? Even the cannons are afraid of him? "

No one was allowed to think too much on the battlefield. After all four rounds of salvo, an earth-shattering roar once again rang out from the south side of the trench. Even the earth trembled from the rhythmic running.

Xiao Letian shouted loudly in his headquarters, "What are you all doing? Charge into first trench and prepare for battle! "

The soldiers of the special mix camp shook their heads and threw the dirt on top of their heads to the side. They turned their heads and rushed into the first trench.

When countless heads appeared from the trenches, the scene before them made everyone suck in a breath of cold air, "My God, Austrian is crazy!"

That's right, this wave of scattered soldiers charging at Austrian was insane, they actually used 3000 people at once, the entire charging area was filled with heads.

What did three thousand people mean? It was the combined strength of the two groups. With so many people gathered together, it looked like an irregular black carpet falling on the ground.

In this wave of people charging at them, the people behind couldn't see the situation in front of them, neither could the people in the battle formation see the enemies on both sides. The people crowded together were like houseflies, only being able to charge forward.

"Long live the Empire! Long live the king! The outcome of this battle shall be decided! "

"Attack with bayonet, White Blade Combat …" "Don't be afraid, God bless the brave …"

"Kill these cowardly Chinese and take back our dignity!"

In the midst of the black crowd, there were shouts of war from officers everywhere. In the end, the three thousand warriors could only crazily shout, "Long live!" Long live! "Long live!" The entire Rangers had already fallen into a state of hysteria.

"Cluck, cluck …" "Cluck, cluck …" This time, they were truly afraid. If not for the Chinese officer suppressing them, these new recruits from the hamburger would have probably collapsed.

"All of you straighten your back for this old man. Isn't it just 3000 people? Not much, not much at all... Back then when Prime Minister brought us to that tyrannical battle, 3000 feet was much lighter than this battle formation … "

"Discipline!" "All of you, remember this clearly. The only thing that can save us now is discipline. Prepare the grenades, pull the bolts, and shoot freely within a hundred meters …"

The ground trembled, the enemy roared, and waves of murderous intent surged towards them. When the enemy was within a hundred meters of the trench, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from within the trench. "Everyone, listen up …" "Fire!"

It was Xiao Letian's voice. At the most critical moment, the Eastern Prime Minister left the headquarters and rushed to the front with King Yi.

"Fire …" Shoot... "Beat them to death …" Amidst chaotic roars, the entire trenches began to fire their bullets at their enemies.

The leading Austrian Army fell to the ground with a thud, the Austrian Army continued to move forward as if he did not see anything, the military boot was trampling on the mud, the dead and wounded were stepping on, they continued to rush forward.

"Accelerate Speed... "Charge, charge …" Countless military officers were shouting and shouting, completely ignoring their fallen comrades.

"Bastard!" How could this be? This group of artillery personnel should be killed! " When the Old Count saw the dense firepower in the trench, he understood that the previous bombardment did not have any effect.

"God, are you punishing us? How did you find us a group of invincible enemies? Are they evil spirits from hell? "

But now it was all too late, the three thousand people couldn't retreat anymore, every single one of them was being surrounded by the surrounding people, and they themselves were also being surrounded by the other people, charging in one direction had already formed a wave of energy, and everyone was being surrounded and unable to break free.
