I don’t know where the British and French people got this kind of confidence. Anyway, they just have a kind of mysterious self-confidence and they look down on the Russians. Their commanders take it for granted that as long as the British or French troops line up in a majestic formation and attack "
When the Russian army is "exhausted", the opponent will soon collapse and either turn around and run away or surrender.
They even thought that the poor performance of the Turkish army the day before was a good thing, because it gave them a chance to perform and reap the benefits!
On the morning of the fourth day, British lobstermen in bright red uniforms and French infantrymen in dark blue uniforms lined up in neat formations and marched toward the Russian army with great aplomb accompanied by a military band.
Each of their soldiers held their heads high and walked vigorously, as if they were not going to fight but to participate in a military parade or victory parade. Kornilov and Nassimov were stunned by this foolish behavior.
"Are they crazy?"
Nasimov shook his head and asked in disbelief:
"Aren't the lessons learned in the past few days profound enough?"
In the past few days, the old linear tactics have been sentenced to death by Kornilov and Nassimov. In the face of new rifles, such old and outdated tactics are meaningless, because the new rifles are accurate enough to hit
It has a human-sized target 400 meters away, and the reloading speed is very fast. Rapid shooting can knock down a dense group of enemies in pieces like cutting wheat.
Therefore, the tighter the crowd, the more dangerous it is, and with the new rifled rifles, there is no need to use human heads to make up for the poor accuracy of the smoothbore rifles. You can completely spread the queue, which will not cause firepower to be dispersed, but will only protect you from the enemy's
Concentrate fire to kill.
Not to mention such a simple truth after four days, Kornilov and Nassimov almost understood it after the first day of fighting. Anyway, if they were to attack in their place, they would definitely not choose a death-defying dense formation. This is different from
It makes no difference to die.
Kornilov thought for a while and replied: "Maybe they look down on the Turks?"
Nasimov was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that although Turkey has historically put tremendous pressure on European countries, especially those in Central and Eastern Europe, over time, as they become more and more declining and backward, Turkey has become
They have become a shame to Europe, people and ghosts can spurn and despise them, especially after Russia has taken turns beating Turkey in recent decades, they have been recognized as a country of sick men.
For the arrogant Britain and France, supporting Turkey is just to disgust and attack Russia. It does not mean that they like this sick ally. Naturally, no matter what this ally does, even if it achieves victory and certain success,
I can't get into their eyes and always subconsciously think that they are scum.
What's more, in the past three days, Turkey has failed to make any achievements but has lost a large number of lives. The British and French naturally looked down upon them even more. They would not seriously sum up the lessons of their failure at all. They would only subconsciously think that it was not the tactics that had problems, but Turkey's problems.
"This is a good opportunity!" Nasimov immediately became energetic.
Kornilov is similar to him. In fact, they both look down on the Turks and do not think that the Turks are their real opponents. Their real opponents are always Britain and France. They must kick their little brothers hard and hurt Britain and France.
Keep them honest!
And isn't it the best time to deal with the blindly confident and overly proud British and French forces now?
If we can kill as many of them as possible, hurt them, and destroy their so-called pride in this battle, it might be helpful to reverse Russia's overall passive international situation!
Even if the British and French cannot be defeated in one battle, it is more advantageous to kill as many of them as possible. After all, Paskovich will attack later, and it is always good to kill more British and French forces with stronger combat capabilities.
Before Kornilov could give the order, Nasimov immediately said: "I immediately order all ships to prepare explosive bombs!"
Kornilov nodded and said: "Okay, use it all in one go, kill as many British and French bastards as possible, and let them taste the pain!"
Kornilov and Nasimov not only ordered the artillery to make full preparations, but also transferred part of the reserve team to the front line, striving to use the most powerful firepower to bloodbath the British and French coalition forces.
"Be prepared for shelling!"
As the veterans shouted, except for a few observers, most of the Russian troops quickly slipped into the trenches or foxholes that had been dug, covered their ears and pressed their bodies tightly to the ground. Immediately, the artillery of the British and French allied forces should
Back to old business.
Sure enough, when the infantry and cavalry of the British and French allied forces organized themselves into formation and began to advance slowly, the British and French artillery on their flanks fired fiercely again. This time they were obviously more attentive. Not only was the rate of fire significantly faster than the previous two days,
, and more explosive bombs are used.
If in the past, it was three-point explosive bombs and seven-point solid bullets to support the Turkish army, today it is six-point explosive bombs and four-point solid bullets.
For a time, the Russian army's position was bombarded with smoke and fire. If you only looked at the explosions and fireworks, the Russian army's position would probably be completely gone.
Anyway, the commander of the British and French forces was very satisfied with the effect of the artillery. It was called a big scene and a big production, and it was so exciting!
The slowly advancing British and French allied forces quickened their pace under the command of the drumbeats, and marched forward side by side with great strides. At first glance, the momentum seemed astonishing, a bit overwhelming.
They walked forward unhurriedly. More than a dozen people formed a square formation like neat tofu cubes. The red tofu and blue tofu looked so delicious.
"Don't be anxious, move closer, everyone is here, listen to my command! You are not allowed to fire without my order!"
After several days of fierce battles, the Russian army using new rifles also summed up their experience. That is, although the maximum range of the new rifles that can guarantee accuracy can reach 800 meters, only experienced veterans can guarantee shooting at that distance.
Effect.
It is best to place the enemy within 400 to 600 meters before fighting. At that time, as long as you are not blind, you can basically gain something. Especially within 400 meters, as long as the trained soldiers can do well, they are guaranteed to do well.
hit rate.
Kornilov's order was also to place the British and French expeditionary forces within 400 meters before attacking. Firstly, the riflemen had a high hit rate, and secondly, the fleet's supporting artillery fire could also be obtained. Concentrate the firepower and strike hard at the British and French.
The most enjoyable!
It's just that the British and French expeditionary forces didn't know the Russian army's plan. They moved forward step by step, from one thousand meters away to four hundred meters without any harassment. This made them subconsciously think that the Russians were afraid of them.
