Chapter 17 The Battle of Leon

July 1875

With an order from Alfonso, some 40,000 troops stationed in Leon and Andalusia launched an attack.

However, there are more than 60,000 rebels in the two places, and the influence of the church can be considered exhausted by these people.

July 5

The Army did not use heavy weapons like cannons.

After all, they are Spaniards on Spanish soil. As a Spain with a population of only 16.5 million today, excessive internal consumption is not a wise choice.

Military observation groups from various countries also observe in the areas where they are stationed.

The Spanish army was not lined up to attack the rebels.

Instead, spread out and move forward.

The Spanish Army, wearing a black blue military uniform and an oval helmet, moved forward slowly like a slowly rising black tide.

This move made the observation groups of various countries a little puzzled. In the Franco-Prussian War a few years ago, although the soldiers on both sides were already good enough in weapons,

However, the traditional war mentality still makes the two sides line up in a neat line to be shot.

In front of the Spanish Army, a large phalanx of tens of thousands of people is slowly advancing.

Everyone, go to their respective combat positions, and the machine gunners have set up their machine guns and are ready to meet the enemy.

Not far from the direction of Spain's advance, there are trenches that have already been dug.

All the Army soldiers quickly set up their rifles inside the trenches, and the machine gunner extended the black hole through the machine gun muzzle.

And the rebels on the opposite side, a few cannons that were better than nothing, slammed toward the army position one by one.

The artillery has no effect on most soldiers, but there are still a few unlucky people who are patronized by the goddess of luck.

Some of the soldiers who were hit lay directly on the ground, motionless, while some survived, and were transported to the rear during the rapid transfer of their comrades.

And as the footsteps of tens of thousands of people got closer and closer, until they could already see their figures, and then the footsteps were deafening, and the enemy was already very clear within the visual range.

Although the rebel commander Mata was a little puzzled, the limitations of the times and his low military literacy prevented him from ordering the army to stop.

The rebel forces moved on, they were within range of their rifles, but the Spanish army commander did not give the order to open fire.

He was waiting, waiting for the rebels to get into maximum machine gun kill range.

Finally, the footsteps of the rebels had stopped about 400 meters away from the trenches, and the heads leaking out in front of them made them a little overwhelmed.

In the past, they were shooting at each other, but now one of them is hiding, which really makes them feel unable to adapt.

But before they could react, they followed the order of the Spanish army officer.

Fire! The commander's saber slammed down fiercely.

Da da da da da da da...

The machine gunner began to control the Maxim 1875 machine gun and began to shoot frantically.

The accuracy of the machine gun is not high, but when a row of people is standing in front of them neatly, they don't move.

The machine gunners gave up the idea of ​​a burst shot and fired quickly at the rebels.

The infantry also pulled the Vielli 1875 rifle in their hands and began to fire.

The prototype of the Vieri 1875 rifle is the Mosin Nagant rifle. The biggest feature of this rifle is the drop-like sound of gunfire and extremely high accuracy.

During World War II, the glorious female sniper of the Soviet Union, Katyusha's sister, and the character of the famous third-person shooting game - Natasha.

This is the rifle and scope used.

Under the control of these veterans, the 5-round ammo capacity was instantly finished.

What? you say aim? The enemies are standing in rows, and it's over to hit the front!

If you can't hit the front, someone will always make up for it.

Definitely not wasting a bullet.

The rebels were like wheat overwhelmed by the wind, falling down row by row, and the entire battlefield was full of flesh and blood, screaming like purgatory.

Luckily, the wounded rebels lay on the ground and wailed. Those who were shot with rifles were better, but it was difficult for the rebels who were hit by machine guns to leave a whole body.

Unlike in the movie, being hit by a machine gun in the real world is a big hole, and it is basically impossible to save life.

The soldiers on the front line of the rebel army were instantly defeated, and countless people who were scared out of their courage rushed to their own formations screaming wildly.

When the rebel leader saw this scene, he immediately scolded, and he couldn't believe that his army had been defeated in the moment of confrontation.

Also shocked and stunned are the military tide watch groups of various countries. Spain's fighting methods have gone beyond what they have learned in the past.

Charge! The Spanish army commander charged forward with a saber.

Come on! Then the soldiers launched a collective charge, and the army soldiers raised their guns and fired while running, constantly killing.

Order the cavalry to charge! Quick! Mata ordered, the Spanish army rushing in with a loose facelift was the best target for the cavalry to kill in his eyes.

The few cavalry of the rebel camp began to mobilize, the camp aimed at the charging army, and the horses began to accelerate.

The rebels have cavalry thanks to the abundance of war horses in Andalusia, but it is impossible to have too many in a hurry.

As the rebel cavalry moved, Arsenio ordered the soldiers to retreat to the trenches.

Di Di Di! The retreating horn sounded, and the charging army immediately turned around and quickly ran back to the original trench combat position.

Just when they were ready, the cavalry that rushed over quickly rushed towards the army position with great momentum.

The machine gunners started to shoot, and the cavalry reproduced the scene of cutting wheat. If the rebel infantry just lined up to die, then the current cavalry is anxious to die.

During the First World War, the French and British cavalry at that time launched a heroic charge towards the German positions,

And the Germans used the Maxim machine gun to make their bravery come true and turned them into heroic souls.

The movie War Horse starring Rocky in the 21st century interprets this scene very well.

The cavalry was also defeated, and the Spanish army launched a full-scale charge. Although hiding in the trenches could avoid casualties, it could not defeat the enemy after all.

The only way to defeat the enemy is to completely defeat the enemy, and this will inevitably lead to casualties. War is cruel, and no matter how big the victory is, there will be casualties.

And it's totally worth it to get rid of the long-term dull pain in your body with a single sting.

The rebels collapsed, screaming and fleeing the rebels began to run towards the rear.

The army soldiers were chasing, the rebels were fleeing, and the direction of the armies on both sides was surprisingly agreed.

This large-scale battle of more than 100,000 people has drawn the curtain in less than a day.

At the same time, it also greatly shocked the military observation groups of various countries present. All of them know that the form of world war has completely changed from today.

Because they replaced the position of the rebel army with the national army, but they were horrified to find that the ending would not be too different,

It's not a failure of will to fight, it's a complete tactical failure. Persistence for longer will only increase the casualties.

(Someone asked me why I didn't get the Germans to train the troops. It's 1875, and the Germans themselves are lining up to be shot. They can't teach Spain how to play modern tactics.)
