Chapter 376: Bloody Battle One

Fortunately, the British had few heavy artillery, and the gun mount was an old-fashioned retreat mount. After the loss of 3 75mm guns, the Boer’s right wing 1 75mm gun and 2 57mm guns finally escaped the coverage of the opponent. range. But in a short time, it is almost impossible to fight back!

The incident was not only the rapid-fire gun positions in the rear, but the front line of defense was also attacked by the British front-mounted artillery. The direct fire of the 3-pounder and 6-pounder guns greatly supported the infantry battle, and they destroyed the frontal obstacles. , Suppress those machine guns that breathe deadly fire snakes.

After all, artillery is artillery. Just one round can send a machine gun team with poor protection to the sky! Although the Boers considered the threat of shelling, the British still successfully knocked out several machine guns on a line of defense, and a huge gap appeared in front of the British!

"Charge!" A British officer raised his revolver and took the lead and jumped out of the trench! The sporadic mortar shells and machine gun firepower in the distance are no longer enough to stop the attacks of thousands of people! However, a distance of 500 meters is a matter of 2 minutes for a strong soldier!

When the artillery cleared the obstacle, the British soldiers screamed and rushed up. The bayonet on Lee Enfield's rifle shone shivering under the sun, and Guanghua jumped on the sharp blade, giving people a bloodthirsty Impulsive, they have waited too long for this moment, hatred and victory have brought the morale of the British to its peak! Ignoring the bullets on the opposite side, they rushed forward bravely!

Most of the machine guns have been suppressed. At the breach less than 30 meters wide, a thin line of defense composed of 40 Boer soldiers blocked the way of the British. 40 semi-automatic rifles equipped with large 20-round magazines were formed in front of the British. A dense fire net! Accompanied by one by one brass eggshells were thrown out. The dense bullets flew to the charging British like locusts, and the blood flowers exploded continuously in the British formation. The huge kinetic energy of the bullets nailed the unlucky soldiers to the ground.

The power of semi-automatic weapons at this moment is fully demonstrated. With nearly a platoon of gunmen taking turns shooting, the British almost rushed over the last 200 meters under the blood of their companions! Some British people stopped and tried to fight back, but they turned into better targets. In a few seconds, the British had just fired a bullet, and before they could pull the trigger, they were shot several times. The bullet hit. Most people choose to continue to charge, use courage to paralyze themselves, and hand the decision of life and death to the God they believe in! Relying on a huge number of people, after paying nearly three times the casualties, the British finally rushed into the trenches.

The sound of bayonet slashing into the bone, the roar of the dying man, and the roar of guns rang through the front line. A large number of British infantry rushed through the defense line like a tide, shattering the resistance of the Boers with bullets and bayonets, and killed the red-eyed Britain. Man rushed along the trenches, and made a stab at any Boer that was visible. The first line of defense has been torn and extended to both sides.

"Go to hell, devil!" A Boer with a cut in his stomach tried his last bit of strength and rushed towards the opposite British army. When the other's bayonet pierced his lungs, the two grenades in his hand also Being pulled away, the Boer smiled and looked at the British and his companions in front of him, and quietly closed his eyes. With a dull explosion, the surrounding five British troops were blown to pieces!

The entire front line became a huge meat grinder. In order to survive and win, the two sides continued to increase their weight. More and more soldiers were dispatched here. Even the gunners rushed up with special artillery version Lugar pistols. . This is a long barrel pistol that uses a drum, and even has a butt. The Lugar pistol, which was originally a self-defense weapon, has become a melee weapon after some "magic modification"! If it weren't for the 9mm*19mm Belum bullets, the power would be a bit small, the effect would be better.

"The Boer’s infantry firepower is very powerful, usually a few people can form a daunting firepower net! Their weapons pursue the maximum shooting speed, whether it is a semi-automatic rifle or a variety of automatic pistols, they have an overwhelming ability in infantry combat. Sexual advantage,"

"I even saw a squad of soldiers killed and wounded in the hands of two Boers! At that time these warriors were trying to cross a trench. Two Boers suddenly rushed over from the side, then pulled the trigger, a series of After the gunshots went off, our soldiers were all wiped out without even fighting back."

"After the battle, I got a nearly complete artillery version of the Lugar pistol from the battlefield. Although it is inconvenient to carry and difficult to maintain, it is definitely a melee weapon!" An Englishman after the war Evaluate the situation in this way.

Thousands of people on both sides fought and shot between trenches and bunkers. Since the suppression of the Indian National Uprising and the Mahdi Uprising in Sudan, the British have not experienced such a brutal hand-to-hand battle for a long time.

It was a broken human eye!

Willie felt his entire stomach tremble and spasm, his body was shaking uncontrollably, vomiting, and running back with all his strength, he could not hear anyone's words, only one thought remained. Get out of this horrible place! However, it is a pity that Willie didn't get far, so he was shot from behind by a bullet, which was a revolver bullet.

With the first person, there will be a second person. The Boer's fierce counterattack and suffocating bullets have wiped out the fighting spirit of the British a little bit! Although officers use curses or even bullets to boost morale, it will only be a matter of time before people find that more and more Boers are coming from the rear and the victory is getting further and further away from them! The Boers used fierce firepower to contain the British charge at the cost of hundreds of casualties on the two lines of defense, and then launched a fierce counterattack after stabilizing the situation!
