Chapter 253 Under the smoke of gunpowder

Latest website: The trenches that separate the inner and outer fortresses are divided into five parts. Each trench corresponds to a fortress and entrance and exit. The narrow passage can only ensure that two or three people can walk side by side. Once there is crowding, it is easy to cause a stampede.

Such security risks make it very inconvenient for the defenders in the camp to move between positions.

Not only that, because the trench is too narrow, it is difficult for the firepower of the inner fort to threaten the trench. As long as any enemy attacks the front of the inner fort, the camp defenders will immediately lose most of their countermeasures. Not only the fort

It is in an absolute blind spot for shooting, and even the shooting holes for volleys of guns have less than a quarter that can threaten the enemy in front.

Therefore, it can be said that no matter from which perspective, this "counter-intuitive" design can be called a failure among failures. It is simply a design that tells the defenders to "wait for death once they retreat to the inner fort."

Despite this, Carl Bain, who has rich experience in saving lives and running away, and who always puts the life and death of his soldiers before victory, resolutely transformed his camp into this, sacrificing flexibility in exchange for another very important feature.

Important function: lethality.

When the enemy mistakenly believes that they have destroyed the entire defense line of the Junqishan camp and that victory is close at hand and relax their vigilance, the cannons hidden in the five trenches will show the upper limit of the damage that the "artillery" weapon theory can achieve.

This weapon that completely separates ancient and modern times has completely reversed the way of war. All tactics and formations require that the army cannot maintain too close formations. The number of formations must also be increased, and the distance between companies must be increased.

It should also be as narrow as possible, and the positions of the rear and front teams should be staggered as much as possible.

Because if he definitely does that, the level of tragedy on the field will reach an unprecedented low...

Accompanied by a very rhythmic loud noise, eight-pound solid bullets penetrated the trenches that were already crowded with Imperial line soldiers. They were instantly penetrated by the shells through the chests and exploded into pieces. The soldiers who had their heads crushed were miserable.

Make it rise and fall.

We had no place to hide, and few of us were even vague about what was happening outside the trench. Most of the soldiers who noticed the cannon ports on the right and left of the trench were horrified and wanted to issue a warning, but the chaos, explosions and screams wiped out the voice of reason.

Everything was clean, and even the people inside were still trying to squeeze out and compete for the credit of "capturing the enemy commander".

In order to minimize the effect, Carl Bain placed a small cannon and eight or seven soldiers armed with shotguns in each fort. Before the artillery fire was completed, the shotgun soldiers would immediately shoot from both sides of the muzzle.

Hole "touch up".

All planning and preparations are aimed at maximizing the lethality effect with relatively unlimited ammunition and firepower, and truly crippling the enemy.

"Which military theory Fernan will abandon in the future is a very simple question, but for now, there are military theories such as small armies, skirmishers, and small artillery, all of which have their merits. Europe

Military officers should learn from the strengths of others, be able to stick to the same disciplines and discriminate between officers of the same origin, and be able to discard another theory just because they have no prejudice against it."

"boom--!!!!"

"Please give full play to their talents in the coming battle and fight for Fernan and for their own future and future!"

"It's because of other reasons. It's precisely because today's Army Department is based on family background and only looks at ability. The lower the position, the more talented and experienced it is. Therefore, everyone..." Carl Bain suddenly lowered his voice.

:

"yes--!!!!"

As long as he can send the information out, the small imperial army on such a mountain is not unilaterally transparent, so the question arises: Can the information be sent out?

Although the troops were clearly superior to those on the other side, Master Sembach had the absurd illusion that he was the one being surrounded.

The pairs of eyes in front of me were so shocked that they almost fell out of their sockets, and all of them became mute; the officers and staff of the Ranger Corps could be considered young professional soldiers who had joined the army, and each one of them also claimed to be a self-proclaimed soldier.

Although he has a lot of experience, he still has never heard of the scene behind his eyes.

When the brief absence of consciousness was replaced by heat and stillness, the scene behind my eyes almost made me lose my mind again; it was a boiling golden-red flame, burning blazingly in the air.

A very reasonable tactic, but my opponent is a guy who can definitely judge with common sense...

"...annihilated them all?!"

"The enemy's retreat has stopped. We will wait until half an hour to send a signal to the friendly forces on the mountain to tell us to prepare for the battle." Karl turned his head and said to the front:

"It has something to do with it. That kind of misunderstanding lasted for a day or two." Karl turned to look at the staff officer who was busy trying to make amends. He took out the cigarette case from his lower pocket and handed one to me weakly:

The narrow and spacious trench was filled with corpses lying on the ground, with broken limbs and internal organs scattered everywhere. The stench was so strong that it was almost difficult to breathe.

"Yes, that's the Fernan people's tactic." The flustered Carl Bain looked calm and corrected without turning his head: "It's standard to use fortifications to contain and kill the enemy's useless forces."

The most classic dogma in "Small Army Tactics"; you just fully combined the actual conditions and the environment of Junqi Mountain, and made slight adjustments."

At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering the counter-intuitive shot early, the counterattack volleys and artillery fire outside the inner fort also stopped for a moment. The violent sound and choking smoke also made it impossible for the enemies inside to realize the real battle situation.

"If you really want to say it, just take yourself as an example." Ou Yu suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "You are from the Forty-fourth Anniversary of the Saints, and you are no longer Anson Bach's adjutant. In terms of following me,

The law of time says that someone can reach it.”

At this time, the sound of artillery in the camp gradually stopped, and through the gunpowder smoke, one could vaguely see that the imperial army's previous retreat was suddenly interrupted, causing the rear army to choose to advance even before it broke into the camp.

Take the initiative to abandon the inner fortress that is not yet "nearly behind".

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff officer realized that he had said the wrong thing - the officers around him who had been sighing and praising him suddenly fell silent and looked at him like a fool or a dead person.

"Few people feel that because Anson Bach came from the skirmisher department when he was in power, it would be an extremely accurate prejudice if the future Army Department would reuse officers from the skirmisher department and suppress veterans who deserted the small army."

There is no problem, as long as the fighting stops and the smoke from the mountain dissipates, the Junqishan camp cannot even directly send signals to the "reinforcements" on the south and north roads of the mountain.

"He also told us that the small imperial army on the opposite side does not have at most 2,000 heavy cavalry, and its position and movement cannot be determined yet. It is very likely that it has not moved slowly to our flanks or in front of us, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Be prepared for bad things.”

However, I soon discovered that I no longer had to worry about that matter.

The staff officer standing in front murmured to himself and put on the trembling telescope on his own initiative: "Then, what are the tactics of the French and Chinese Storm Legion?"

"Arrange artillery on the reverse slope and inside the trench, use layers of fortifications to divide and destroy the enemy's organizational strength, and finally use small artillery to 'clean up' all enemies who have not broken into the camp..."

"Um……"

……………………

But despite this, there was still a steady stream of soldiers from the front row, and the artillery fire of the Ouuli people also did not stop. It was wrong, the vicious conspiracy of the Fernando people in France was to lure us to the fortress.

Inside, and then focus on annihilation.

Chaotic shouts echoed in the inner castle, and no one among the excited and excited people noticed the very subtle twitching of the corner of Carl Bain's mouth...

Just by looking up, you can imagine that not all of the soldiers who initially rushed back from the inner fort fell to the guns of the Fernandos.

Well, that's what Sembach planned at least - or at least that's how it ended.

As soon as the words fell, the officers present suddenly realized something; but perhaps they were too shocked, and the absent-minded staff officer was still willing to give up and asked: "But... do you remember that Lieutenant General Anson Bach was from the skirmisher department? He must be

If you remember correctly, many of my meritorious battles were long-distance pursuit battles and encounters in the fields. Why do you know so much about the tactics of the small army?"

"Uh... you, you mean that, you mean..."

However, I am too worried about the direction of Junqi Mountain: First of all, the opposite side is not trapped at the bottom of the mountain. In theory, it is not possible to counterattack and provide reinforcements to the army on the mountain. But in reality, as long as it goes up the mountain, it will be instantly annihilated by itself.

, it can no longer only be called an "existential army".

"Yes, I promoted very few officers who came from the skirmisher department, but this is because the skirmisher officers in the past were treated fairly all the time. The lower levels of the Army Ministry wanted to retreat, and wealthy officers monopolized the way out. As a result, there was only a small army.

The noble officers of the faction can occupy low positions, and now it is just a matter of reversing that phenomenon."

Just after pushing away the arm of the corpse that was blocking his face, the knight with suddenly shrunken eyes stared at the fortress that was just around the corner. At this moment, I suddenly saw the white hole in front of the shooting hole. Wushuang was also there.

Stare into your own eyes.

Next, you just need to besiege it instead of attacking it, and withdraw the troops who are besieging the camp to attack the enemy reinforcements from both sides of the mountain. Unless there is no main enemy force coming from the direction of the small base camp, you can hold on to Junqi Mountain until the reinforcements arrive.

They were all defeated.

"What really hurts the strength of the Fernando Army is not the group of people who kept saying that the Fernando Army has enemies in the sky, so it is the lower levels of the War Ministry that need to be changed! The Anson Bach administration and the villain Sophia Franz are reorganizing the Army Ministry.

In order to achieve the most basic fairness, China let outstanding officers step down and capable mediocre people come to power; and now the situation of various departments under the control of the Ministry of War is the same as that of France and China."

Based on the brutality of the battle just now, Ou Yu believed that the secret of the inner fort had not yet been exposed. There was a small chance that reinforcements from the Ranger Corps would appear on the southern or northern roads of the mountain, forcing the enemy to give up the idea of ​​attacking the camp immediately.

Turn around and call for reinforcements.

In the last second, the muzzle of the gun, which was so hot that it was still smoking, stretched out from the outside and was facing his face.

"yes!"

Being reduced to a "hostage" in the eyes of the opponent means that it is impossible to leave the "Ranger Corps Command" on Junqi Mountain. On the other hand, it cannot bind the opponent to the top of Junqi Mountain; unless the opponent captures the top of the mountain and takes possession of it,

Lowland, otherwise there will be no geographical advantage in facing the "reinforcements" coming from all directions, and they can only arrange their troops in a situation where they are completely visible from the lowland of Junqi Mountain.

The soul-shaking roar echoed in my ears, causing the unconscious knight to suddenly open his eyes. The weight beneath me made me gasp, and the choking smoke and the scalding-cold air around me made me even more irritated.

To the extreme.

I subconsciously wanted to stand up and tell the reinforcements in front of me the information, but the corpse beneath me forced me to move. At the same time, the knights dared not make too small a move, for fear of attracting the attention of the artillery and causing the soldiers' fire.

The sacrifice is so wasted.

There are still intensive preparations for the coming battle. The Ou Yuli Major Army headquarters in Junqi Mountain is also in chaos - except for traces of enemies appearing on the mountain south trail, there are no enemies in the north direction of the mountain towards Junqi Mountain.

Closer, the scale is around 8,000 people.

The enemy's pitiful wails and screams could be heard in his ears. Carl Bain, who was standing at the observation port of the inner castle, stared at the extremely tragic battle situation inside with a straight face.

"What did you say? The troops besieging the camp were..."

The only problem is that the enemy's movement speed is too slow, and there seems to be a problem with the retreat of the Junqishan camp on our side. The rear line has not sent back any useless intelligence, and we still have to mobilize it.

The troops went to fight the reinforcements that were not yet close behind.

Taking a step back deepened Major Sembach's own judgment. The camp under the Military Flag Mountain was 100% not the headquarters of a certain Fernan Army Corps across the way, and these scattered "miscellaneous troops" were all part of that Corps.

, or the commander-in-chief who is nominally responsible for commanding the battle to retake the Red Moon Town Fortress.

"Boom——!!!!Boom——!!!!Boom——!!!!"

"Although you currently have the rank of colonel in France, you were once like Leo, the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment who came to join you, but before you became the commander-in-chief of the Eagle Point Fortress, Fabian, the deputy commander of the army, also became the army commander.

The head of a department.”

"Environmental Protection of Order..."

Before being stunned for a short time, the knight twitched his throat hard and shouted out his last words in life with a dry and hoarse voice:

Although he is the commander on the opposite side of Fa Zhong, his courage can indeed be called extraordinary. He can still choose the most reasonable tactics even when being besieged from eight sides at the same time. He can contain it with a large number of troops.

The camp was unable to move, and was used as a "hostage" to lure the surrounding scattered armies to continuously launch a retreat, and then rely on superior force to annihilate them one by one.
