Chapter 655: Fifteen. Preface (16)

The artillery coverage took 90 minutes, and Xu Jin's barrage took 30 minutes. It took 120 minutes to clean up the ground, but it took only 10 minutes to cover the turned black land with the Venetian Red Army uniform.
The reason for this result, needless to say, was Major Parkinson’s extremely stupid and rigid tactics.
The Albian people do not lack artillery shells and artillery, but in order to open a safe passage in the minefield, high-density shelling is bound to be necessary. The wider the attack surface, the more shells are needed, so for each expeditionary force that needs to be transported from the homeland thousands of miles away, they can’t learn from another world’s wealth, the rough country, the ghosts and animals, and what to do. Ammunition volume". They could only focus on artillery fire to create a 60-meter-wide and hundreds-meter-long "corridor" for the four battalion soldiers to launch a frontal attack on enemy positions.
It is conceivable that when 4 battalions are crowded into such a "corridor", what will happen when a frontal attack is launched on an enemy position that has not suffered serious losses, the defense system is basically intact, and ammunition is sufficient.
The officers of the Duchy almost wanted to hug the officers of Albion and give them a warm kiss. Originally due to lack of training, the soldiers of the Principality had always had a bad shooting method. Now as long as the soldiers do not raise the muzzle too high or too low, there is an 80% chance of hitting a target at a distance of 200 yards; as for how to get their muzzle Keeping it within a relatively normal range, those lower-ranking officers trained by the consultants with whips knew what to do. On the contrary, due to the existence of trench work, it is not easy to hit a sly bear like a mole. Most of the lead bullets have penetrated into the dirt. The exchange of battle damage between the two sides is more beneficial to the Principality Army.
The second disadvantage of dense formations is. Only the first three rows can counterattack, but the people behind the team can't even see the enemy's shadow. Often people in the front row just arrived, and they were hit again when they started raising their guns in the back row. What's more terrible is that in addition to the smoothbore guns, the Principality Army also equipped the soldiers with excellent marksmanship with flintlock rifles. Not only has the hit rate greatly increased, but the sub-caliber spikes will also roll over and shatter when penetrating the body, resulting in a multiplied killing effect.
Gunshots and gunshots roared continuously. The Albion people showed no signs of retreat. The soldiers in the front row were shot down by the entire row, and the soldiers in the back immediately crossed the body of the comrades without hesitation. Continue crazy forward.
"Damn, those guys are crazy!!"
The soldiers Zaitsev broke the silence and scolded. His comrades had already scolded even the saliva. Everyone knew that the scolding had no meaning, but in the crazy assault of the enemy-the kind of crushing the trenches of the enemy with the body of the soldier. Letting the soldiers of the Principality drown in the blood of the Albion was also in front of tactics. If you don't say something. Do something, their spirit will collapse sooner or later.
The commander who came up with this kind of tactics must be a cold-blooded lunatic. This is the consensus of the Principality army, but they can’t understand how the Albian people so indifferent to their lives? Seeing the vain death of the same robe in the front row, was it even more spirited to launch the charge? Even as long as the guy with a breath is crawling towards the Principality Army position!
Even if it is impossible to do this kind of thing with the War Team, did the group of guys use any operation system?
"V.E's "Energy Medicine" is quite good. The price is cheap and it is much simpler to use than the operation system. After this battle, our army should introduce and distribute to each platoon in large quantities."
Putting down the telescope, Major Parkinson's mouth curled up.
In order to make Albian's warriors move forward more bravely, the major general not only used speeches to spiritually inspire his subordinates, but also provided further protection with drugs.
Some central nervous system stimulants labeled "Energy Medicine".
From the beginning, the largest consumer group of amphetamines was the military. In the Second World War in another world, the Germans injected soldiers with methamphetamine to increase their continuous combat effectiveness. The Japanese used both methamphetamine and amphetamine for the kamikaze warrior who launched the long live charge. The Allies only use amphetamines.
Of course, abuse of this kind of thing is bound to cause problems-personal and social issues. However, as long as they can enhance the soldiers' continuous combat capabilities and make them more brutal and crazy in combat, politicians and generals are very happy to use such things that will cause huge damage to the soldiers' physical and psychological. Even if there is evidence in front of them, they will turn a blind eye.
It's like Major General Parkinson.
Lord General is reveling in the situation created by himself. Although the enemy's shooting continued, Albion's army's footsteps did not stop at all, and the Red Shirts were gradually shortening the distance from the first trench. It used to seem out of reach to 30 meters away from the moment. Although someone in the queue was shot from time to time, but soon someone will cross the body and continue to advance, the battle line is approaching the enemy position a little bit.
What an exciting visual impact, this is what Albion's army should be!
Major Parkinson's heart is filled with joy, yes, impatient joy-this is the mood of the moment. Victory is already at your fingertips. As long as you cross the last 30 meters, the brave and fearless Albion soldiers will use the bayonet to drive the bears out of the trench, insert the red and white rose flag into the land, and announce Albi to the world. Ang's victory-the major general's victory.
Such records will surely be left in the history of the military: Major General Edward Parkinson, a determined soldier, an outstanding commander, a congressman, a conqueror of the Riga Fortress...
The major general's smile became more obvious, but the officer next to him failed to notice this and had no time to pay attention to the major general's expression. They were all looking at the battlefield, trying not to let despair show through their faces.
With the exception of Major General Parkinson, no one believes that the Goddess of Victory will lift her skirt today.
Victory has become an unreachable goal. There are more than 1,500 soldiers left on the battlefield. With such a few people, there is no chance to enter the first trench, even if some soldiers rush into it. It will be immediately overwhelmed by the Principality soldiers who have an absolute advantage in number and physical strength, and there is no chance to breathe.
The results were extremely obvious, and the officers remained rational, and military officers whose military quality was not too bad could foresee failure. But no one dared to propose to Major General Parkinson, just looked at it quietly.
"It's terrible. That group of lobster soldiers actually displayed such a brainless man."
Major Conig moved away from the artillery mirror and sighed softly.
The distance between the red crowd and the ditch has been shortened to less than 20 meters, but their number is only about 1,000 to 900. The bears in the ditch are at least 4 times this number, or even 5 times. Take out the axe and engineer shovel pinned to the waist, and some are peeling off the peeling knives, preparing to reproduce the "honorary tradition" of their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, hunting humans, and then peeling off their scalp ...
The traditional basis of the Principality’s statistical warfare is the human scalp. Compared with the head, the antiseptic treatment of the scalp is easier and simpler, and it is not easy to pretend. Over time, he developed a special hobby of the Principality Army who likes to peel people. In order to stimulate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, His Excellency the Grand Duke personally promised that a human scalp has 5 golden rubles. Under such a high reward, all the bears' eyes are green, and the soldiers on the front line have all entered the "headhunter" mode.
For the Albians, this is really a tragedy, but this is not the last one.
As long as Major General Parkinson is still the commander of the Expeditionary Force, this tragedy will continue to happen, and more Red Shirt soldiers will continue to enter the battlefield, paving the road to the Riga fortress with corpses, until finally conquering the fortress and conquering St. Petersburg ...
There may also be changes. Before Major General Parkinson finally inserted the red and white rose flag in the fortress of Riga, Her Majesty and the Royal Army may be scared by the "record" created by the major general and replaced by a flexible commander. , To speed up the overcoming of the fortress, and at the same time reduce its own losses, and eventually become the idol of the army's hype, worshipped and imitated by many people...
The elf camp does not want to see this kind of thing. The royal army and even the human camp should be worshipped, or according to the ruling officer-"military god", it can only be Major Parkinson. If they can't do it themselves, then the defense army will Help them.
The major picked up his special sniper rifle, opened the bipod, and lay beside the rookie assistant Matthias.
This is a typical two-person sniper team. The major is responsible for killing the target, and Matthias is responsible for searching and alerting. When the major misses the target, the target is shot.
Therefore, the weapons they equipped are also different. Matthias’s rifle is a semi-automatic sniper rifle with a 4x scope. Major Conig’s rifle is a manual rifle with a 6x scope and a rotating pull-back gun.
It's not the cottage Mauser 98K, there is no special group called "Hade Gate" in the defense army ~EbookFREE.me~ won't go back more and more. Even if they really want to do this, Li Lin will correct them back.
Major Conig used a copycat Remington M700.
Said to be a copycat version, anyway, it is also one of the best hand-made products. Its performance on the test field is no worse than that of PLA's CS/LR4 7.62mm high-precision sniper rifle. It is more than that of PLA and the majority of military fans. The 88-style "sniper rifle" is a good street. As a price, the price of this rifle with scope is comparable to three automatic rifles.
Now, what this rifle lacks is just to pass the actual combat test to prove whether its expensive cost and actual combat effectiveness are commensurate,
Officer Albion’s face appeared in Major Conig’s field of vision. The shiny military caps, medals, and clean uniforms on the mountain were as eye-catching as the feathers of a male peacock.
The major shook his head in his heart, and began to calculate the wind speed, wind direction, target relative position, moving speed... The distance was 700 meters, a little far away, but still within the hunting range, Konig took a deep breath, calm buckle Lower the trigger. (To be continued.
