Such conflicts continued on the border and the intelligence was sent continuously, which shocked Lieutenant General Ostan Otterrand de Laporta, the commander of the 6th Army of the French army stationed on the front line. He found that the French army had more defeats than they won, and the Austrians and Chinese were in full swing in the battle with the French on the front line.

Neither side fired, restraining themselves from using only equipment and fighting against fists and feet.

The retreating French said that the enemy was very brave and powerful. What's more important is that they had a firm fighting will, and they could not get off the line of fire due to minor injuries. They kept rushing forward, but the French could not resist.

Needless to say, the Chinese are fighting the world. The Austrians are also very powerful. They are desperate and overwhelmed the French!

"When did the Austrians become so brave?" Lieutenant General de Laporta murmured.

He was a veteran. When he was young, he participated in the "Thirty Years' War" in Europe. That time, the Catholic France stood on the side of the Protestants, the Netherlands, Britain, and Bohemians, opposing the Catholic Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Empire. As a result, the Habsburg dynasty (the two empires belonged to the Habsburg family) was defeated and had to sign the "Westphalia Peace Treaty". In this war, the French taught the Austrians a lesson and concluded that the Austrians were not strong in combat.

Unexpectedly, after twenty years, the Austrians taught the French a lesson. Although the French on the front line was not the main force, what were the Austrians? The front line rewards were mostly young men, who were hairless and unscrupulous in their words, and had no experience in the fight. However, they were very vicious when fighting and did not take any light action. They were all greeted the French!

The captured French army came back and said: "The Austrians' medicines are very effective. Our wounds are bleeding. They sprinkled some medicine powder and stopped the bleeding (Yunnan Baiyao). They were very good. And their food was really good, and we all got fat!"

The French military officers said this, and the Austrians were not kind enough to give French prisoners of war very good treatment. The captured soldiers ate black bread and black beans, but the captured officers still had preferential treatment. They were invited to have dinner with Austrian officers and had Chinese food, which was spicy fried dough meat, spicy tofu and boiled beef (the Austrian army chef is a Sichuan cuisine chef?) He was very satisfied and thought about it. After he went back, he promoted it everywhere.

The winners and losers sit together to eat equally. It seems incredible to the Easterners, but in Western countries, most of them share common beliefs, almost all Christian countries, and have common ideas. Although there are differences here, the overall beliefs are consistent. There is no need to fight and die in the land of Christ. There is no need to kill the other party and allow surrender to the death. It is also related to the tradition of allowing the captured people to pay ransoms in the Middle Ages.

After the French surrendered in the war, their safety could be at least guaranteed and regarded as a knightly demeanor: "I am not afraid of your strength. I fight with you and defeat you, and I forgive you."

This has also been recognized in China. The South China Army has always treated prisoners with preferential treatment, and the South China officers who now control the new Austrian army are no exception.

All the information shows that the Austrians are different from before, but the French are still very arrogant. They think that the Austrians are mountainous people (Austria is mountainous), and the mountainous people are rough and powerful, and are barbarians, so they are the dominant people in hand-to-hand combat.

If the fight really starts, the French believe that France's iron fist will completely crush the Austrian resistance!

They didn't wait long and soon were able to show the power of France's iron fist.

Then the French tasted the power of the Austrian iron fist!

The war was imperative. The Austrians and the French fought in a small village, first with hand-to-hand combat. When the French found that they could not win, they used weapons and fired!

When the gunfire sounded, the soldiers on both sides thumped the guns, followed by the bombs.

The French were shocked to find that their soldiers were knocked down by the Austrians' precise shooting. As a result of the two sides' guns, the Austrians were able to fight accurately and at a fast speed. After a burst of guns, the French lost and retreated.

"What?" Lieutenant General de Laporta was surprised again. When he heard the news of the shooting of both sides, he was defeated and he was a little unbelievable.

Then he was even more surprised that he had heard that the army had already 2,000 troops were attacking an Austrian battalion and could not get it!

The battalion under attack was the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion. The mountaintop they occupied was very well located, surrounded by low plains, with a wide view, and a radius of dozens of miles, and inevitably suffered a fierce attack.

"Candle shells, the shells are coming! Dodge!" The Austrian sergeant who was observing with a telescope on the top of the mountain screamed.

The French position at the foot of the mountain was filled with smoke, and the French artillery bombed the Austrian position on the top of the mountain in the form of a platoon of artillery.

When it comes to the Frenchman's firepower is quite strong and he is very accurate, and the guard wall at the top of the mountain collapses, dust is flying, and trees collapse.

The shells are mainly solid shells, which is really good to be able to shoot at this level.

The French army used 6 12-pound cannons and 10 6-pound cannons, which had good firepower and comfortably bombarded the Austrian positions without encountering a counterattack.

The 2nd Battalion of the Austrian Army was a vanguard and did not carry heavy weapons.

Unfortunately, although the shells were fierce, they had no actual damage only because the Austrian army at the top of the mountain left only a few observation posts and snipers, and the rest of the officers and soldiers lined up neatly on the slope of the back slope, sitting very leisurely on the ground to rest.

That's right, the enemy is strong and we are weak, Liu Yupu is ready to use the reverse slope tactic to deal with the Frenchman.

Reverse inclined positions often appear on battlefields in mountainous and hilly areas. Generally, we call the side of the high ground facing the enemy an inclined or forward inclined, while the side facing the enemy is called a back-slope. The position built on the hillside facing the enemy is called a so-called reverse inclined position. This kind of reverse inclined position is very common. Generally, the weak side often uses this tactic

, for the sake of avoiding the opponent's firepower strike.

When the French army lined up to climb the mountain, they stopped shelling in order to avoid accidental injuries. When they reached the middle of the mountain, the Austrian army's observation post on the top waved the red flag below. Major Liu Yupu waved his hand, and two-thirds of the troops in the camp moved quickly, crossed the ridge, came to the slanted position, aimed the gun at the enemy on the hillside, and then under the command of the commander, the rifled rifle first opened fire.

Gunshot, people fell!

As the vanguard, the 2nd Battalion, all the rifled rifles were equipped with scopes, fired pointed bullets, and shot one by one within a distance of 300 meters!

There were 90 rifled rifles from three hundred Austrian soldiers. After ninety bullets were fired, they knocked down at least seventy or eighty people. The Austrian soldiers were well trained, and the average person was fired out three bullets per minute. Nearly 200 French soldiers had already poured down, and only about 600 French soldiers came to attack!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the French army, which were attacking with drums, flocked forward regardless of the formation.

After entering the range of the smoothbore gun, the Austrian army opened fire with all their might!
Chapter completed!
