MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 442 Night attack and ambush

Chapter 424 Night Attack and Ambush

The so-called wise man has a lot to worry about, and Crowder can finally understand the true meaning of the old saying. Compared with the throwing missiles equipped in the theater and the throwing bombs equipped by the Hicks Kingdom, Claude found that he had drilled the horns of his own, and the pursuit of lightness and flexibility was blind, resulting in the throwing distance of the throwing equipment of the theater equipment only Hick. Half of the iron pumpkins that the Kingdom of Slovakia is equipped with is equal to the iron pumpkins of the Hicks Kingdom.

Perhaps the Hicks Kingdom used that cumbersome caster-style thrower and three times the weight of the iron pumpkin throwing bomb, which really caused great trouble for the transshipment and attack of the troops. At the same time, it is easy for the members of the tossing team to become the most conspicuous target on the battlefield, suffering from the targeted killing of the enemy, causing great casualties.

But the throwing distance of 134 meters and the greater explosive power make up for the above shortcomings. After all, the military's mission is to destroy the enemy, not to save their lives on the battlefield. Especially for the hard-hearted commanders, the soldier's life is the consumables on the battlefield. It is nothing more than whether their damage will cost the enemy a greater price.

Claude is a guilty conscience. Fortunately, his soft heart is directed at his own soldiers, not his enemies. The throwing ball that the theater was equipped with was the one that Claude originally invented, and the throwing distance was only 70 meters. Although the throwing and throwing devices have great concealment, maneuverability and convenient operation for the soldiers during the attack, the above advantages are all covered by the shortcoming of the throwing distance.

To know that when defending, the soldiers stay in the defensive positions, do not need to be flexible, throwing distance is the biggest demand, the best weapon to deal with the toss is also throwing. This has been proven in the actual combat exercises organized by the theater in the past, and the defensive side's throwing can suppress the attacking of the attacking side and cause great damage.

But Crowder’s stubbornness caused the division of the Rock Corps to suffer unnecessary losses. At the time, the sisters Anna and Sonia were not throwing the thrower in the style of the trebuchet, and successfully threw the throw to two hundred. More meters away. However, Crowder dismissed most of the thrower operators. In the attack, he was easily attacked by enemy defensive artillery and caused too many casualties. He refused to let the troops equip the thrower.

So when General Beechklin said that the captured Hicks slinger-type thrower had become a defensive weapon on the position, Claude realized how much mistake he had made. He can create two different throwers, one for offense and one for defense, so that the Hicks thrower and the iron pumpkin will not be able to maintain such a large repressive advantage on the defensive front.

Claude always wanted to replace the toss with a grenade or a mortar. He knew that the toss was originally invented as a grenade. As a result, there is no way to safely produce nitroglycerin on a large scale to make safe explosives. It can only be filled with black powder, and because the explosive power is not enough to increase the loading of black powder, the grenades become bulky and thrown not far, and finally there is no way. Made a thrower so that it can be thrown to 70 meters...

This is why Claude does not value the throwing bombs, and easily sells his production license to the military industry representatives of the old aristocratic families. Unexpectedly, the appearance of this throwing bomb has made a great imitation of the countries of the Farrea continent. The Hicks Kingdom has caused a great killing of the defensive front with the thrower of the trebuchet style that Crowder dislikes.

The throwing distance of the throwing equipment equipped in the theater is only half of it, and it is impossible to counterattack and suppress it. As for the grenade and mortars that Claude holds with great hope, he has been unable to make trials for technical reasons. Perhaps the throwing bombs currently equipped in the theater have become the throwing throws of all the fake equipment of the countries of the Farrea, with the shortest throwing distance and the lightest explosive power.

Fortunately, General Beechklin did not really blame Claude for this reason. No general can completely predict the changes in the future enemy. It was his happiest thing that Claude brought the garrison in the place where he was in Monknaard Castle. He was originally his old man. He was a veteran of the later military service of the Stone Corps. It was easy to integrate into his command. In the middle, the defensive front of the entire eastern mountainous area has been stabilized, and the grasp of the second defensive front has been increased.

And Claude brought the Thunder 331 and the Thunder 303 with new rifles, so General Beechklin was eager to propose a counterattack against the first defensive front, trying to recapture the enemy. This defensive front. However, after careful consideration, Claude refused the counterattack plan of General Beechklin, and even allowed General Beechklin to continue to organize the Nikkan people to build a few deep defense defensive fronts.

Claude's reason is very simple, just like fishing, the fish just rushed to pull up when they bite the hook, often letting the fish off the hook. At this time, you must be patient and let the fish swallow deeper, so that you can really catch the fish. And now the first defensive front is the bait that has just swallowed the big fish of the three standing army of the Hicks. It is very likely that the counterattack and recapture of the position will alert the chief commander of the old tyrant, and may be decoupled. go with.

Therefore, General Beechklin’s commanding troops adhered to the defensive front. After causing major casualties to the enemy, they must give up the defensive line to lure the enemy into a deeper plan. The reason why Claude allowed General Beechklin to continue to build several defensive fronts in depth was to let the enemy not exhaust the hope when he was exhausted. He always thought that he would succeed if he tried harder, but he did not know that he was taking a step. Steps fall into the trap.

Claude is ready to attack the unit, and as the plan planned before the war, the slash is inserted into the rear of the enemy to disrupt the enemy's logistics transportation. If possible, he would be able to encircle the three standing army's Hicks veterans in this mountain, let them play the food and then take it again, and then play their own light for the public facilities of the theater. and hot......

Although he persuaded General Beechklin to follow his own plan, it was only when Crowder led the Thunder 141 camp into the enemy's back that the Hicks were not so easy to hook. When the war zone was planning this strategic plan, it was a standing army that was preparing to eat the enemy. Now, Claude discovered that this strategic plan seems impossible to achieve. No other reason is that you arranged a table banquet. The result came three. Table guests...

In the forefront of the northern coastal mountainous region, more than a dozen Nikkan battalions were set up by General Beechling. Thanks to the lessons of the Nikkan people’s camps in the defensive positions in the eastern frontier mountainous areas, the Rocks Corps sent a squadron of Legion soldiers to these Nikkancha camps. Their main purpose was to train the Nikkanese. How to throw the bomb.

Claude returned from the forefront of the northern mountainous region to the eastern mountains. The responsible officers of the Nikkan battalion, who were stationed, reported that the Hicks did not launch an offensive attack in the northern coastal areas, but it was some time ago. More than a few Hicks reconnaissance squads. The most important of these Nikkan people camps stationed in the forefront of the mountainous area is the reconnaissance squad that deals with these Hicks. The two sides have certain casualties.

After entering the eastern frontier mountainous area, Crowder discovered that there were densely whistling whistle of the Hicks, and many of the high mountains were stationed in the Hicks squad guard sentry. If it wasn't for the Thunder 231 battalion that had undergone certain special training, the combat power was strong, and equipped with new rifles, Claude couldn't help but the infiltrating forces of these Hicks.

Claude also ordered the Thunder camp to spread out, sweeping the Hicks' small reconnaissance squad in the mountains and the guard posts on the hill. Since it is impossible to sneak into the enemy behind the enemy, simply screaming and screaming at the enemy, let the enemy be frightened, and do not know how many troops have come here. Only by hurting the enemy and fearing it will allow the enemy to automatically contract the troops and give up a large mountain space that is enough for them to move...

Obviously, the Hicks also noticed that an enemy unit has penetrated behind him. This is a very inevitable choice for the territorial war zone. In this way, the five standing army of the Hicks were thus cut off by the Rangers’ logistical supply, and all the armaments and grain reserves stored in Wickham Castle were burnt down, eventually leading to hunger and cold. 300,000 officers and men laid down their weapons, entered the captive camp, and began their hard work.

It seems that the theaters have been re-applied, and the Hicks have long been prepared. They estimate that the direct military area should only send one or two battalions to sneak into the eastern frontier mountains, so they sent two regiments to come. Clear these troublemakers. However, what they didn't expect was the tough fighting power of the Thunder and the 31st battalion equipped with new rifles. The two regiments collapsed without even seeing the enemy's face. The survivors were less than one-tenth.

Claude commanded the Thunder 3-1 camp to launch a night attack and an ambush on the two enemies who entered the mountain clearing. This is the masterpiece of the Thunder Legion. It is not necessary to say that the night attack does not require the throwing bullets that are not ignited by the fire rope to be thrown into the enemy's camp like raindrops, and the new rifles that are bursting are like the autumn wind sweeping leaves, and any igniting fire ropes are prepared. The enemy soldiers who fight back will become the most obvious targets in the night and will soon be shot.

The enemies of this group also wanted to wait until the support of the rear friendly forces by the camp, but they could not persist under the thunderous blow. The most painful thing is that they have difficulty finding out where the enemy is, because they can’t see the kind of The light from the fire of the stars is the basis of the fire, which is the basis of the anti-night attack, so they can not counterattack.

The Hicks veterans of this regiment only heard the explosion of gunshots and throwing bombs, and the comrades around them were knocked down one by one. They only resisted for an hour and a half and collapsed completely. Only less than one battalion of Hicks veterans escaped from the hellish camp, broke into the dark night and the mountains, until the sky was bright, they waited for the follow-up reinforcements.

The officers and men who attacked the Thunder 3-1 camp at night had only a minor casualty of less than 100 people. The main cause of these casualties was the result of the Hicks veterans arranging guns and firing bullets with light field artillery carried in the camp. The sly cats will always run into dead mice. Although the gunners and gunners of the artillery were shot and killed in the first time, there were also several unlucky soldiers of the Thunder Army who were caught too close to the enemy’s camp. itself......

After defeating the Hicks camp, Claude did not let the soldiers of the Thunder 3-1 camp enter the camp to search for loot and plan to treat the wounded of the enemy. Instead, they led the Thunder 3-1 rush to the camp. The back road of this camp once again set an ambush on the mountainside of a valley. Until all the soldiers had fixed their wartime bunkers, all the signs of exposure were removed, and Claude ordered all the staff to rest.

At the back of the day, the first team of the Hicks main field team that met at the end of the day met the squad that escaped from the camp. From the mouths of these unsettled deserters, they learned that the group of the friendly army was attacked by the night in the camp. After the news of the crash, the battalion commander of this pioneer camp was timid and did not dare to move forward. If a main field team will be defeated in the camp, only to escape such a person, then his rush to the past is also a dish.

After honing for more than two hours, I finally waited for the regiment. As a result, the news of the deserters said that the head of the regiment was screaming and the captain of the Pioneer Camp was a soldier of the Hicks Kingdom. Very simple, since the enemy used the night attack, it shows that his actual strength is not much stronger than the main field team that was attacked by the night. This is the use of night attacks such a despicable tactic. If, as those deserters say, there are at least two or three regiments or even one division, it is entirely possible to use a storm...

It is clear that the main field team did not prepare for the carelessness at night, only to be exploited by the weak enemy. If the Pioneer Camp gets the news and rushes to the rescue, it may even catch the night's tail. According to the general rule, after winning like this, the main officer of the army will let his soldiers search for the spoils on the battlefield and the dead bodies of the enemy. The Pioneer Battalion rushed over at that time, and might even give a fatal blow to these enemies who have relaxed their vigilance.

The more and more squad leader, on the spot, removed the duties of the timid battalion commander, and then ordered the officers and men of the whole regiment to speed up and rush to the camp where the friendly forces were stationed in the night. The head of the group decided that after such a long time, the enemy of the night attack should have already packed up the battlefield and left the camp. Therefore, they will be safe in the past, and it shows his eagerness to rescue the friendly army. No matter how he evaluates after the war, at least his performance is impeccable.

So the Hicks' main field team also plunged into the ambush circle set by Claude, and the tragedy was staged like this. At the time of the ambush, the head of the Hicks Field Field Corps still wanted to die, because he found that the enemy's ambush circle was 100 meters away, and ordered his troops to fight back on the spot. But then the head of the group was shot and set fire, and there were several bullet holes in his body...

Under the continuous suppression of the new rifle, all the Hicks veterans felt that there were intensive gunshots in all directions. Just by listening to the gunshots, they knew that the enemy’s strength was not weaker than themselves. They just can't fight back. The brave veterans will attract bullets from the enemy whether they are loaded with bullets or ready to aim. A straight-forward starting point will occupy a glorious war dead place.

The gunshots seemed to be endless, and the larger the Hicks veterans who were ambushed, the greater the ambush of the enemy. They feel that the enemy's light is a regiment's force. It is impossible to shoot so many gunshots, because it takes time for the arquebus to fire once, but the enemy's gunshots are still so dense... ...

Crouching on the ground, behind the stone, the experienced Hicks veterans under the body can only endure the enemy's shooting silently, they believe that the enemy's gunshots always have a stop.

In fact, this is indeed the case. In the eyes of the officers and men of the Thunder 331 camp, almost everyone has already emptied six or seven rounds of bullets. The entire group of 1,300 people has shot nearly four. Wanfa bullets, and on the battlefield, more than 5,000 people in a group of Hicks veterans fell to the ground, no live Hicks can still stand or sit there...

The gunshots finally stopped. The officers and men of the Thunder 3-1 camp found that there were no targets to shoot. They could not continue to shoot at the bodies on the ground, and the cheers began to sound. However, Claude ordered the soldiers to continue to be vigilant, and at the same time let the toss bombs go up and bomb the three rounds with the toss, instead of ordering the soldiers to go straight to clean up the battlefield.

Claude's cautiousness allowed the officers and men of the Thunder to avoid a deadly injury. When the tossing bomb exploded on the battlefield, the officers and men of the Thunder 3-1 camp were surprised to find that there were countless bodies of the Hicks. The Taoist people jumped up, and the Hicks veterans braved the bullets fired by the Thunder 3-1 battalionmen who immediately responded. They fled to the rear with a gust of wind. Nearly a thousand people ignored casualties and eventually two or three. Hundreds of people lucky to escape the encirclement...

Claude is also very helpless. The performance of the new rifle on the battlefield is dominant, but the officers and men of the Thunder 331 battalion with the most live-fire training are still wasting too many bullets. Just like the two or three hundred Hicks veterans who finally escaped from the ambush encirclement, if they are not enough of their own strength, they can completely encircle them and fight a perfect annihilation war...

Looking at the dead and wounded, the bloodshed into the battlefield, Claude finally issued the order: "Go clean the battlefield..."
