The Rise of the Empire

However, having will and courage does not mean being able to win a war. The battlefield is still a place where material determines spirit. Unlike the Bavarian Army, which has been reborn and started to move towards mechanization and air-ground integration, the Czech Army’s equipment system is still basically synchronized with the times. There are more 150MM heavy howitzers and all light guns are rapid-fire guns. The level of artillery equipment may be the same as the historical method. The army is flat. The number of automatic firearms such as machine guns and submachine guns has a greater advantage. But considering the factors of training and morale, the combat effectiveness is far worse than the French. The French dare to play onboard with the firepower of heavy artillery and machine guns!

  Ruprecht needs a force that can fight tough battles, so the Czech Legion must endure the baptism of blood and fire, and the regiment of Baron Merlin is now undergoing this painful process of transformation.

The Russian attack seemed to come very slowly, but the more it went, the more disturbed Baron Merlin was. Although the Russians did not have a large number of long-range heavy artillery like Bavaria, the original Russians were equipped with a large number of 107 and 122mm medium-caliber mid-range artillery. , The so-called comparison is more than enough, it is impossible to fight against the Germans, but it is good to suppress the Austro-Hungarian Army, which is mainly short- and medium-range artillery.

  After repelling the Russians’ third attack. The four 75MM guns attached to the main position were repositioned, from the rear of the position to the sides, in order to move these guns weighing more than one ton. The Czechs didn't have much effort. The machine gun positions were also reset. Once the two sides fought, the defender’s firepower and deployment would be equal to a loss of one-third after exposure. Using the gap between the opponent’s attack to readjust the firepower deployment is a compulsory course. However, not everyone understands this principle, nor does everyone understand it. Do it.

The Russian artillery broke the silence on the battlefield once again. The roaring artillery shells intensively fell on the forward position. The soldiers who were busy in the trench just now quickly entered the anti-cannon hole behind the position under the leadership of the non-commissioned officer. A semi-buried bunker reinforced with logs is fine as long as it is not directly hit by a medium caliber shell. The tortuous trenches also provide the most basic protection for those who have not had time to enter the bunker.

As an officer trained at the Bavarian Military Academy for several years, Baron Merlin knows that making his soldiers as veterans as possible, and then letting these veterans become his loyal subordinates is the most important way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Of course, it must be attacked, but Merlin is still very responsible for the general officers and soldiers, just like the classic knights' obedience to them, the latter is dedicated to loyalty, the former is guaranteed to bring glory, and the soldiers try to ensure that they return home.

The Russian artillery fire was not very violent. Their heavy artillery was originally not many. The previous battles had consumed a lot of ammunition and lacked supplements. Although the Russians concentrated their forces as much as possible to prepare for a breakthrough, only artillery remained. At most, it can only be suppressed. It is the battle between the infantry that determines the victory or defeat, and this also makes the war more **** and cruel!

"The Russians lack long-range firepower, so we can rest assured that we can rely on machine guns and submachine guns to offset the Russian military advantage, and believe that our friendly forces will not expose your back to the enemy. Before all of you leave the battlefield safely Before, I would never go back, I swear in the name of the family!"

   "Protect the machine gun and pay attention to the side. There are also some people on the reverse slope. Tell the artillery not to fire casually. I always feel that the Russians will play some tricks this time."

The Russians’ offensive is always slow. They simply can’t connect the infantry immediately after the artillery support is over, and because of the support of their own long-range firepower, their infantry’s starting position is still relatively far from the defensive position, a distance of 800 meters. ! Therefore, Baron Merlin even had time to hold a small meeting for his battalion commander and company commander to boost morale and reiterate the main points.

The figure of the Russian soldiers was looming in the gunpowder, and they continued to rush over like a tide. 1000 meters away, the roar of the MG07 machine gun broke the tranquility on the battlefield. The remaining dozens of machine guns made the sound like a chainsaw. People are terrified. In less than 1 minute, a 250-round canvas bullet belt turned into a bullet shell all over the floor. Bullets like migratory locusts flew on the battlefield, reaping unlucky lives from time to time.

Frontal blocking, lateral firing from the side, no matter how the Russian skirmish line is arranged, there is always a machine gun in one direction that can attack the opponent with the greatest efficiency, and the flames continue to cut the Russian infantry into small pieces, or suppress or Killed, each machine gun blocked the opponent's attack path as far as possible.

Naturally, the Russians could not be beaten in vain. The long sound from the air made the defenders alert. The Russian mortars were finally in place. They hid behind the infantrymen and fired a high-explosive grenade at the exposed machine gun. point. At the same time, the Russian machine gun team carrying the Maxine machine gun also added machine guns on both sides of the offensive troops to provide cover for the troops~www.readwn.com~ The roar of machine guns from both sides resounded throughout the battlefield, and Russian soldiers were supported. Rising from the muddy ground, he rushed to the defensive position 300 meters away as if he had taken stimulants. "Go with the gun!" Under the command of the company commander, the soldiers carrying this semi-automatic rifle rushed to the front line. When the soldiers approached within 200 meters, a burst of gunfire sounded like a burst of beans from the entire position! Countless bullets flew in from all directions thinking of the attacking Russian army. Although there was no continuity when shooting with a machine gun, the victory was because of the large number. Hundreds of semi-automatic rifles shot all 20 bullets in the magazine in a very short time. , Tens of thousands of bullets shot at a distance of 200 meters and hit the Russians by surprise.

   But obviously, the Russians had no retreat, and the soldiers behind stepped on the dead colleague’s body to launch the final hand-to-hand charge. In this **** battle, the Russians boast that they are not afraid of any opponents! They shouted long live, stretched the bayonet of blood to the front, the cold bayonet was shining in the sun, ready to drink the blood of the opponent at any time.

  "Brothers, follow me!" In Baron Merlin's regiment, if you want to be a company commander, then the first requirement is to carry riflemen on the front line in hand-to-hand combat! Those who escaped either have died under the Russian bullets or have been cleared out. Just like a duel between spearmen in the cold weapon era, two rows of sharp bayonets were against the opponent at a distance of tens of meters.
