Australian Storm 1876

Chapter 631: General Assembly

  Chapter 631 General Battle

When the sun rose high in the sky and the time came to around 11 noon, the two military formations that entered the battlefield were basically in place. On the Kangsby Plateau, the two armies with distinct alignments appeared. Out of boundless killing intent.

  Human beings are really weird creatures. They can always find all kinds of reasons to kill each other, and they will never end with the establishment and destruction of dynasties.

Sitting high on the war horse, Li Fushou had this kind of inconspicuous thought in his mind at the moment, and then he smiled and put it behind him, and asked indifferently; "Where is the B Corps now?"

  "Your Majesty, about 8-9 kilometers behind, after receiving the order, the leading troops can reach the battlefield within half an hour."

   "Well, the Southern Federation also has such a plan, right?"

"Yes, the Victorian Corps reinforces three infantry divisions forward within a week. All of them were transported by sea. They were taken by British ships. Now their position is shrunk on the Beilun line, and the distance is no more than 20 kilometers. If you are marching quickly You can be there in three hours."

   "These **** British guys, and the **** South Pacific task force."

  "We have officially issued a letter of protest in this regard, hoping that London can stop this deliberate connivance that exacerbates the situation, which is not good for the situation in Australia."

  "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. Contact the Naval Staff Headquarters and ask them to send a local fleet to carry out a powerful cruise, so that the British can restrain themselves."

"this……"

   Lieutenant General Conrad Adenauer looked a little hesitant. On the one hand, he did not want to stimulate the Royal Navy of the British Empire, and on the other hand, he simply did not want the navy to divide the glory of the army.

  As the saying goes, the **** decides the head. This unprecedented North-South war is the stage of the Royal Army. What is the navy?

Seeing His Majesty's majestic gaze, Lieutenant General Conrad Adenauer violently stirred his spirits and realized that His Majesty was not asking for his opinion, but was giving an oral order and hurriedly replied with his hand; Your Majesty spoke."

"It's really a big battle!" Li Fushou sighed insincerely, raised his hand and looked at the customized version of the diamond watch on his wrist, and said; "The time is almost here, and all the time is coming, let's start. ."

   "Yes, Your Majesty."

  In the tense battlefield, the north and south armies stand opposite each other.

  No barbed wire, no trenches.

  Both sides are lined up in a line, with the main infantry formation in the middle, and the cavalry divisions on both sides opposing the formation. The huge and distinct army formation stretches far away. People are like a sea and guns are like forests.

  At this time, the loud and majestic military music played, cutting through the silent sky.

  Military music is the command to attack. The boundless northern army formation began to press forward. Soldiers marched in a neat line, breaking the fragile balance in an instant, and kicking off the prelude to the battle.

  Afterwards, the stern Irish bagpipes were also played, and the white soldiers of the Confederate Army also marched in a neat line.

  The artillery positions at the rear roared in anger, pouring out the artillery shells, and blasting them off the enemy positions, setting off a wave of **** storms.

  The originally clear sky suddenly changed color, rendering heavy gunpowder smoke in blue and black.

  In a few minutes

  The artillery position was covered by heavy smoke, only the muzzle, which was still shining brightly, roared, pouring out more ammunition.

On the originally calm field, now like a pan of oil poured into a basin of cold water, it boils, and from time to time there are shells exploding in the advancing queue, emptying the soldiers within more than 10 meters of the surrounding area, and the stumped limbs are flying in the air. Yin Hong blood was spilt everywhere.

  The commander in the front row of the queue loudly ordered to maintain the queue, and soon the soldiers from the rear came up again and continued to attack.

  The artillery shells in the air danced, and most of them fell on the open ground, and some shells flew over the heads of the infantry to the enemy artillery positions, and carried out coverage shooting.

  The Battle of the Kongsby Plateau has been heated up since the beginning.

  The thick sound of cannons resounded like thunder, striving to give the opponent a lot of power to kill and wound them.

  Horse standing on the high mountains

  Li Fushou held the binoculars in both hands and looked down at the entire battlefield. After a while, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  In the first artillery offensive and defensive battle

  The advanced artillery of the Great Ocean Kingdom took the lead, showing off its prestige in dense coverage shooting. The artillery fire was denser and more deadly, causing huge casualties to the opponent's infantry formation several times that of the previous one.

  It can be seen through the telescope that the phalanx of the first wave of the Confederate Army’s attack has been blown up and the formation has been scattered, and the previous calmness cannot be maintained.

  The white soldiers became hesitant and disorganized under the great fear. Although the front-line commander tried their best to maintain, the formation was still loosened a lot, and it became collapsed.

  In contrast, the military formations of the Northern Ocean Kingdom maintained a more rigorous and orderly manner, with firm steps.

  The artillery is mainly small and medium-caliber field artillery. Large-caliber heavy artillery only accounts for less than 1/10. They are more used for long-range bombardment of enemy artillery positions, these high-value targets, and will not be used for bombing infantry.

  This is because the price of heavy artillery shells is very expensive, and it is obviously not cost-effective to fight mosquitoes. It is the kingly way to destroy enemy artillery positions that are more threatening.

  Cannonballs flew, exploding clouds of smoke.

  900m……700m……600m……

The infantry arrays of both sides were approaching continuously. Because the distance was too close, it was easy to accidentally be injured. The artillery at the rear quickly stopped pouring artillery fire on the infantry formation. Fang’s artillery position, the same cruel artillery battle began.

  "Set up, field guns are out of line, fire at full force..."

The infantry commander held up a sharp sword and gave the order. The infantry formation of the Ocean Kingdom stopped quickly and dragged out a 60mm field gun from the rear of the queue. This small and medium-caliber field gun mounted on two wheels is very convenient. Two people dragged, and the next two people pushed, able to move with the infantry attacking formation.

  The 60mm-caliber field guns that were pushed out of the queue made the white soldiers on the opposite side look dumbfounded...

  They had just escaped from the cruel baptism of artillery fire. They were expecting to get back to the scene through the bayonet battle, and vent their depressed mood of being ravaged by artillery fire.

  Who ever thought

  The other party has launched so many small and medium-caliber artillery, which is simply too much. The key is that you don’t have one!

  This can’t be blamed on the white soldier’s breakdown. He was so miserable by the rounds of artillery fire, and finally managed to get here, but in the end, you still came to this set. You really didn’t leave any way to survive!

  600 meters is the time when it is not embarrassing, it is too far for the rifle, but too close for the artillery.

  The Northern Army, no matter what the white soldiers were thinking, the 60mm field guns that were dragged out of the queue flattened the muzzle, and aimed at the enemy and blasted them fiercely.

  Small steel cannons kept ringing "Boom Boom Boom", sweeping **** passages one after another in the queue of white soldiers, setting off a storm of blood and blood all over the sky.

This kind of direct fire is particularly harmful to infantry, because there is no emptying situation, just blast the enemy's infantry formation, and each gun can more or less take away the lives of several soldiers. It's dead, and it hurts if you rub it.

What makes the white soldiers of the Confederate Army feel desperate is that their army does not have such convenient artillery weapons, and there is a gap in firepower. They can only endure the baptism of steel artillery, and there is no other way to endure heavy casualties. .

  The muzzle of the black hole caused great fear, and the offensive formation of the white soldiers became confused with the naked eye.

Struggling to support for a few minutes, unilaterally enduring the ravages of direct gunfire, when the two sides lined up to a distance of more than 400 meters, the southern federal army commander could no longer bear it. Order.

  In between

  The Confederate Army Array made a roar like a mountain and a tsunami, and the soldiers ran with sharp blades, quickly shortening the distance between the two sides.

  300m……200m……

  The roar of artillery, but it can't stop the tide-spreading blade charge.

Where the Confederate Army passed by, there were corpses and broken arms left everywhere. The red blood made this land glow with a particularly tragic picture. Countless soldiers slayed like ants, falling amidst artillery fire and gunfire. Down……

  180m……150m……

  The gunfire of the counterattack sounded, and the soldiers manipulating the 60mm field gun were repeatedly shot and fell. The replacement artillery from the rear had just rushed over and was shot and fell. The blood bloomed in the chest, showing the bravery and heroism that went forward and succeeded.

There is not much accuracy in shooting while running, but the large number of white soldiers raised their guns and fired, still causing fatal casualties to the unobstructed 60mm field artillery in front of the queue. The artillery fire became intermittent, and the Chinese soldiers behind the 60mm field artillery. The queue was constantly shot down, and then the soldiers in the back row filled in silently.

  See this scene

  The white soldiers who had been hit all the way became crazy, shouting louder in their mouths, converging into deafening shouts of killing, it seemed that this was the only way to drive away the fear in the heart and boost their courage.

  In the face of the enemy, behind the first wave of offensive formation, there is a thicker infantry formation in the second wave and third wave, which is like a sea tide.

  The infantry commander of the Ocean Kingdom calmly gave the order; "fire, shoot..."

Thousands of soldiers fired together, and the sound of platoon guns resounding through the sky continued, forming a fierce storm of projectiles and shooting past. The attacking white soldiers of the Northern Army were like hitting an invisible wall, and their bodies were chipped with piercing blood everywhere. Hole, fell feebly and died on the way forward.

  In the army of the Northern Ocean Kingdom

  The Chinese soldiers lined up in the front finished hitting the magazines in their hands, silently closed their guns and turned back to the back of the line to reload the bullets.

Soldiers in the first row knelt down and raised their guns in accordance with the officer's command. Soldiers in the second row stood and raised their guns. After the order to fire was issued, they shot violently until they fired all the bullets in the magazine, and then silently turned and returned to the back of the queue. The cycle goes back and forth, as rigid and efficient as a killing machine.

  The lethality of the platoon gun is huge. After a few rounds of shooting, the first wave of white southern soldiers finally collapsed, leaving a large swath of corpses and turning around.

After the baptism of artillery fire and platoon gun attacks, the first wave of southern white soldiers' queues has become sparsely gnawed, and the formations are scattered, unable to organize effective platoon gun shooting, and the sharply arranged array of the northern army cannot be broken by the hand-to-hand charge alone. It seems inevitable.

on the battle field

The fate of deserters is tragic. They have to withstand double fire from their own and opponents. Many soldiers simply fall to the ground and pretend to be dead. Some are forced to go crazy and start shooting indiscriminately until they are killed. Slumped on the ground...

  The chaos did not last long, and the second wave of southern coalition soldiers with a thicker array came up again, and the distance was close to within 400 meters.

  At this time, a rumble of horses hooves sounded on the left side of the Southern Federation Army's queue. The charge of the cavalry made the earthquake tremble, and it swept like a storm.

   Faced with unfavorable conditions

General Gavin Williamson, the commander-in-chief of the Confederate Army, chose to take the lead and sent a left-wing Livingston Cavalry Division to attack the battlefield, trying to hit a powerful left uppercut to defeat the enemy Leopard Cavalry Division on the left flank. Defensively on the left, penetrated fiercely to disrupt the Northern Army's array, creating a favorable cover for the infantry's offensive.

In a battle of this astonishing scale, the infantry regiment's offensive that had already started smashed forward like a huge wheel that could not stop the car. There is no other possibility.

As an experienced army general, Admiral Gavin Williamson chose to use one of his trump cards, the Livingston Cavalry Division, to attack the enemy line, with the intention of creating a local situation that is beneficial to the enemy and bringing the current passive offensive situation back. .

  The left wing of the battlefield

   Tens of thousands of Livingston Cavalry Division soldiers launched a frantic attack amidst the rush of horseshoes. The sharp sabers they wielded in their hands merged into a dizzying jungle of swords, sweeping across the wilderness like a violent wind, like an unstoppable torrent.

The excited white cavalry galloped on the horse, the shells blasted away not far away, and the hapless companions and horses were blown apart in an instant. This did not affect the wild white cavalry, they danced sabers hoarsely. Shouting to charge, hoping to replicate the glorious course of the predecessor's cavalry.

Horseshoes rumbled across the earth, and the enemy leopard cavalry division array was in front of you. The distance between the two sides was no more than 1.5 kilometers. This distance will pass by just a few minutes, and the other party still has no intention of riding a horse against it, it seems What are you waiting for?

  This made the white cavalry feel a bad feeling, and then was quickly overwhelmed by the excitement.

  At this time, the officers and men of the Leopard Cavalry Division of the Northern Army were all fully armed, sitting on their horses, with their guns in their hands and bullets in their chambers. They looked coldly at the white cavalry divisions that swept across the field like a gust of wind. They were extremely calm.

  Under the command of the commander, the neat cavalry queue split into countless small openings, from which 60mm field guns and a dozen heavy machine guns were launched, and then they were loaded and loaded quickly, and then fired wildly.

  The scorching shells roared, and the bullet rain weaving death suddenly exploded, flying the flesh and blood of the white cavalry galloping forward, and the bones and tendons were broken.

  That's not counting

The heavy machine guns roared frighteningly, and the staggered firing caused more damage. For a time, the cavalry men rushing in the front row turned on their backs, tumbling and falling, and dust was everywhere. The sad neighs of the war horses mixed with the screams of the soldiers. , The whole scene of **** slaughter is simply unbearable.

Because the cavalry charge needs more space, the front of the Livingston Cavalry Division, which has tens of thousands of people, is more than 2 kilometers wide. Under the combined attack of artillery and heavy machine guns, the white cavalry quickly expands like a frightened rabbit. , Doubled in a blink of an eye.

  Such a wide offensive front can not be turned sharply, the frightened white cavalry can only face the artillery fire and heavy machine gun bullets bite the bullet, just hope that every minute and every second of the difficult time will pass as soon as possible, maybe that is the hope of life.

The cavalry charged extremely fast, and the distance between the two sides quickly shortened to less than 300 meters. When the white cavalry of the Livingston Cavalry Division thought that the worst time had passed, a frightening scene happened again.

Under the command of the commander, the soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry Division raised their Mauser 1871 magazine-style riding rifles together, and pointed their black hole muzzle straight forward, and then began violent platoon shooting, one round after another.

The howling rain of bullets shrouded over, as if an invisible giant slapped the palm of the white cavalry, slamming the wild charging white cavalry off the horse. The momentum of the fierce attack was sudden, and accompanied by the roar of heavy machine guns, the white cavalry was like dumplings. The same was knocked over.

At this time, the Livingston Cavalry Division had already lost more than half. The white cavalry at the rear held the reins of the horse in fear, and unanimously chose to flee further to the left. There was a blank space at the end of the enemy's army, which seemed to be The only hope of life.

  At this moment, the mentality of the white cavalry has collapsed, and there is no idea of ​​continuing to fight.

  The Dongfang guy is too unpretentious. Whose cavalry fights like this? Do you want the glory of the cavalry? How can flesh and blood be able to fight bullets, this is simply too bullying.

From the attacking route of the Livingston Cavalry Division, it can be clearly seen that it is in the shape of an obvious "J" letter. In order to avoid the combined attack of artillery and rifle, the assault cavalry involuntarily chose to avoid its sharp edge and turn to a more enemyless one. Left direction.

  They may have forgotten, this will expose their weak side to the enemy.

as predicted

The fierce firepower of the Leopard Cavalry Division kept firing, and the rain of death bullets swept over like an iron comb. The white cavalry who swept from the northern cavalry array in a whirlwind fell down like leeks, and finally they were able to rush past. There were few white cavalry soldiers, and they immediately faced the fierce pursuit of the cavalry brigade, and the fate of complete destruction seemed inevitable.

   "It's over, it's all over, the Livingston Cavalry Division is over."

Facing this unreasonable cavalry play, Admiral Gavin Williamson twitched violently at the corners of his eyes, then closed his eyes in pain, and a costly cavalry division was ruined in his hand. , He couldn't help but blame himself deeply when he felt the great pain.

I’m really sorry for the late update. Finally, I gave a 5,000-word chapter. The main reason was that I was lazy in my mind. The second was that I was pulled out by a group of friends and dogs last night to have a big drink. After drinking, I went to a late night barbecue. At five o'clock in the morning, Mr. Putao turned into rotten grapes when he came back and fell on the bed until the afternoon.

     In this way, I didn’t write a word in the update. After I got up, I didn’t dare to eat the code word quickly.

     Mr. Grape wants to strongly condemn that among his gang of friends, there are Sheng Yeyun and Dan Zheng, and they will continue to drink after drinking.

     I thought for a moment, I should continue to condemn Sheng Yeyun, this guy, and he must die more ugly, otherwise it will not be enough for civilians.

     Thank you readers and friends for your enthusiasm, thank you for your support, and finally ask for a monthly pass and recommendation. I will try to break out this month.
