The two mixed battalions under Xiao Letian, plus all the officers, had a total strength of only about 700 people. This amount of troops was not even considered a bubble in the entire Battle of Sadova. If General Mao Qi merged them into the main attack queue, the role these two mixed battalions could play was minimal.

However, no matter how weak the chess piece is placed in the right position, it can still play a huge role, just like the pawn crossing the river in chess, sometimes it can play a role or even reverse.

Today, the chess piece of the Mixed Camp was placed in the correct position by Xiao Letian, and the Stone Bridge Highland was destined to become a famous place for Xiao Letian and his Iron Blood Legion.

The distance of sixty meters is not even ten seconds for later sprinters. For the scattered soldiers who are charging now, no matter how hard the mud is under their feet is, even if the comrades around them are bound, they can easily rush over in twenty seconds.

In the plan of the old earl and brigade commander Pengka, the first wave of more than 1,000 scattered soldiers who charged were actually to die. They had carefully calculated with the staff before the war. This wave of scattered soldiers rushed to about 100 meters and began to suffer casualties. The highest casualties reached 60 to 50 meters. If the power bonus of the newly equipped rifle of the Pu army should be increased, the huge casualties should be exchanged for 60%. The remaining 40% of the troops rushed into the trenches for hand-to-hand combat, and the 40% of the troops were far from winning in hand-to-hand combat. Their sacrifice was actually to exchange time for subsequent scattered soldiers.

What is a wave-like charge? The tactic chosen by the Austrian army now is a typical wave-like charge. After the first wave of scattered soldiers rushed to sixty meters away from the trench, the second wave of 1,000-man scattered soldiers began to slowly enter the battlefield and gradually trot and accelerate.

When the first wave of scattered soldiers began to fight hand-to-hand combat, the second wave of scattered soldiers basically reached more than 60 meters in front of the trenches. This second wave of scattered soldiers was very lucky. Without the blockade of bullets, more than 90% of this wave of scattered soldiers could rush into the trenches and join in the hand-to-hand combat.

Not only were there the second wave of stragglers who charged, the old earl also arranged the third and fourth waves, and together, 5,000 people were involved.

In the Austrian army's plan, there was no word for failure. In the countless deductions of all the staff, the largest casualties that the Austrian army may have were the first and second waves of the two groups of charge stragglers.

The casualties of more than 2,000 people were just a drizzle for the Thorn Flower Master, and it was not considered a trauma. As long as you can take down the Stone Bridge Highlands and block the marching time of Prince Carl's Second Legion for one hour, the Thorn Flower Master's mission was successfully completed.

But... but no one expected that this battle of winning would be a pile of mud.

The old count shivered, looking at the frame of his glasses deep in his flesh, and whispered unconsciously.

"How could this happen? Why did the high-density artillery coverage not have the predetermined effect? ​​Why did their rifles fire so fast? Even if they were rear-mounted rifles, they would not have such a drastic rate of fire."

"What's going on? Who will tell me what's going on?"

No one can answer the old Earl's question, because the Austrian intelligence agencies did not know the specific parameters of the Mauser rifle at all, and they did not know that all the Mauser rifles used were fixed-loaded bullets with shells.

In the mind of Earl Tabris, even if you use a rear-loading rifle in Prussia, you should do it in two steps if you want to load ammunition. You can't load the projectiles and gunpowder together, right? You have to do it step by step.

In the mind of the old earl, the main advantage of rear-loading rifle lies in the shooting posture. The rear-loading rifle can be reloaded in lieu of reloading ammunition, or half-kneeling, or can be hidden behind the bunker and sit on the ground to load ammunition. This is the advantage of rear-loading rifle.

In fact, in that era, many military experts regarded rear-mounted rifles as cavalry and special guns for stragglers. They never realized that one day all soldiers would popularize this new weapon.

It is because of this misunderstanding in concept that the Thorn Flower Master suffered a lot.

Now it was not only the old earl and the baron who were scared, but all the officers and soldiers watching the battle on the entire battlefield were stunned. They watched the one-sided massacre so scared that their chins were about to fall off.

The charge formation of more than a thousand people seemed to be invisibly cut by the sickle of the God of Death within a few seconds. Countless soldiers were shaken by the rain of bullets and fell to the ground, screaming on the entire charge line.

Bullets poured out of the trenches one after another. Mauser's rifle was mounted on the mound of soil, sparks bloomed at the muzzle. The ruthless soldier pulled the trigger silently and harvested one life after another. The distance of sixty meters became an insurmountable gap between life and death that the Austrian army had.

"Very good... Everyone keeps the rhythm... You don't need to think on the battlefield, you just need to calmly pull the trigger..."

"You rookies, let you see blood today, and you can brag about being a veteran in the future... Why are you standing so high? Are you a living target for the enemy?"

"Everyone is ready to use grenades. The enemy has approached thirty meters. Wait a little longer and let them get closer... and kill them..."

All the new army officers in the trench issued various orders calmly. Their aura infected all the Hamburg New Army present. In addition, the enemy on the opposite side was swept in pieces. At this time, every soldier felt infinite confidence in his heart.

More than 600 Mauser rifles, plus more than 100 Spencer's several rounds of volleys, caught the Austrian army off guard. In just ten seconds, the Austrian army lost 60%, and the remaining 40% were not lucky. When they rushed to the trench twenty meters, a grenade was blown away their last bit of luck.

Boom boom boom... There was a fire and smoke on the battlefield. The terrifying scene shocked the second wave of charge scattered soldiers. Countless soldiers subconsciously stopped, and even the officers in the team forgot to command.

The entire battlefield was as quiet as death, and everyone could not believe their eyes. The war scenes they saw today were completely beyond their imagination. Even the officers who graduated from the higher military academy were confused. There was no military textbook in the world for such a combat form.

The sound of gunfire, explosions, and people's shouts of killing gradually disappeared. I don't know when a breeze broke out on the battlefield, blowing away the smoke from the grenade explosion.

It was not until this time that people saw that the huge charge formation that had just stretched like a rainbow for hundreds of meters, and has been slashed like a dead snake.

Starting from sixty meters, there were corpses everywhere on the ground, layer by layer, which was shocking to see. More than twenty meters away from the trench, some survivors were standing scattered. They either stood alone in a daze, or gathered together in groups of three or five to look at the enemy opposite, and took a quick look at the lucky ones, which combined only one or two hundred.

At this time, the battlefield was covered by a strange atmosphere. The little lucky guy had long lost his desire to fight. They had already been sucked away by the killing, and their eyes were full of confusion. They stood there stupidly and even forgot to escape.

The Pu army soldiers in the trench also stopped shooting at this time. They looked at the half-silly Austrians and could not make any moves. The new army officers did not order the fire. Xiao Letian's education hoped that they would be a group of brave iron-blooded soldiers, not a group of murderers.

Daniel in the three-person group raised his head and looked at an Austrian soldier more than ten meters opposite him. I don’t know how it happened. In Daniel’s eyes, the Austrian veteran in his forties actually looked a bit similar to one of his uncles.

"Shh! Shhh!" Daniel whistled at the Austrian army in a low voice and said in a low voice, "Go! Are you stupid? We don't shoot anymore, why don't you go yet? You are the only one left, and you are still fart..."

Speaking of this, Daniel suddenly felt a little hot on his back. When he looked back, he found that the squad leader Zhao Yidao was glaring at him, but the very strange and stern leader did not stop him from speaking.

Daniel didn't care anymore. He suddenly shouted loudly, "Run! All of you stupid hats are wiped out, why don't you run away quickly? Are you waiting to die..."

With Daniel's lead, Steven, Grant and even more soldiers yelled in the trenches, "Run! Why don't you run quickly... Your charges are victims, and you stupid birds are victims..."

The roar finally woke up the already scared Austrian soldiers. They looked at the rows of black muzzles opposite, and then looked at the broken limbs beside them. The scared soul finally flew back.

"Damn it, even if I shoot me, I won't serve you..." These Austrian soldiers ran back. No matter how loud the snare drums were in the army behind them, none of them turned around.

This was just a small episode in the battlefield. After a short period of shock, the Austrian army quickly resumed its offensive rhythm. The second wave of scattered soldiers began to accelerate, and the officers in the team were shouting wildly, and they were cheering the soldiers.

In Xiao Letian's eyes, this second wave of thousands of scattered soldiers was much smarter than the first wave. They learned from previous failed experiences. This time the scattered soldiers lined up longer, the thickness of the military formation also increased a lot, and the distance between soldiers and soldiers was also widened.

"Smart, Austria is indeed one of the European army powers. It has found a way to fight for it so quickly... Faced with our fast shooting frequency, they have no other good way to accelerate and reduce the charge density..."

Xiao Letian gently twisted the focal length of the telescope and sneered, "What a pity, it's a pity. Even if you temporarily adjust your tactics, you can't change the outcome of losing... Because on the battlefield, it's not just you who are trained and improved!"

Xiao Letian was right. At this time, the two special camps under his command had perfectly integrated into the state of war through a hand-to-hand combat, an artillery battle, and a positional battle. They were already familiar with this unique atmosphere on the battlefield.

The Mauser rifle rang again in a dense manner, and grenades were thrown one by one on the heads of the stormtroopers, and the sound of gunfire and explosions were connected.

The soldiers of the special camp were no longer panic. Everyone was shooting calmly and calmly, and the bullets were hit accurately and fiercely. However, this time the Austrians were really desperate. All the soldiers shouted the slogan of long live the king and ran forward with bayonets.

This time, even the volley shot from fifty meters was spared. More than a thousand people crashed into it like bulls. Bullets took away their lives, grenades exploded one after another, and every step on the charge was filled with human life.

It was not until the end that the Austrian army paid 70% of the casualties that it was considered close to the trenches. At this time, all the alive Austrian officers shouted like crazy, "Charge... Charge... Crush into the trenches and kill them..."

And Earl Tabris, standing in the rear, almost fell off his horse excitedly. "Hurry up and drive...Where is the third wave of scattered soldiers? Why don't you speed up... Grab the fighter's plane, you must seize this opportunity. This is an opportunity to fill it out with your life!"

"Charge..." The third wave of thousands of scattered soldiers roared collectively, rushing towards the high ground like a torrent.
Chapter completed!
