Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1177

[Chapter 1164: Tank Tactics]

Bonnet put away his telescope and suddenly felt a dull feeling in his heart.

Looking through the Austrian trenches, he saw an unfamiliar army entering the battlefield, and according to his understanding, this army was the imperial army.

During the French Civil War, he witnessed the power of three imperial snipers. At that time, he would feel a thrill every time an enemy officer was shot and killed.

But now he may become a target of snipers.

“Is it really the imperial army?” A lieutenant under Bonnet asked worriedly. Now every French soldier is unwilling to fight against the imperial soldiers.

“It can’t be mistaken from the military uniforms they wear.” Bonnet said that 70,000 troops were used in the attack on Austria and France.

The 10,000-strong French Seventh Division he led was only one-seventh of them.

Starting from France, they fought hard all the way here, but the Austrian army built fortifications here to delay their attack.

The officers were silent. They looked at Bonnet and waited for him to make up his mind.

“We must fight. This is His Majesty’s order. From now on, everyone should cheer up. Send soldiers to dig trenches immediately.” Bonnet said.

Because they belonged to the attacking side, the French army had no trenches and only had camps opposite the Austrian army.

Now facing the reinforcements from the empire, he felt very uneasy, so he asked the soldiers to dig trenches to prevent unexpected events.

However, just as his order was given, he suddenly heard a sound of metal friction coming from the opposite side, and then he saw eighteen dark green-painted metal chariots passing through the trenches of the Austrian army and appearing on the battlefield.

“Tank!” Bonnet was horrified. The news that the Tsarist-Russian border had been breached had spread throughout Europe, and the weapons used by the empire in that war were soon known to everyone.

This indestructible and extremely hard battlefield monster can tear apart any army.

The French soldiers’ breathing increased the moment they saw the tanks. They stared at these steel monsters that might attack at any time, preparing to attack and escape at the same time.

“Colonel, what should we do now?” The officers were waiting for Bonnet’s order.

Thinking of the order from Paris, Bonnet said bravely: “Convey this information to Paris, but we must fight before the order arrives.” After

his words fell, suddenly the tank started to move forward slowly, and the imperial soldiers Follow closely behind the tank and hide your body behind the tank.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Eighteen tanks fired one after another. The shells fell into the French army’s camp and exploded, and some tents were immediately set on fire.

At the same time, the machine guns in the trenches began to fire wildly at the French camp, and bullets flew towards the French camp like raindrops.

At the same time, mortar shells drew a perfect arc and exploded in the camp. For a time, the French army was completely surrounded by imperial firepower.

In the Austrian trenches, Austrian soldiers and officers looked at the Empire’s ferocious tilting firepower as if they were dumbfounded. Under the intensive firepower, the French soldiers panicked and looked for bunkers to avoid the Empire’s attack.

“Commander Ye, no wonder the empire was able to defeat the British. In my opinion, the imperial army is indeed the best in the world.” Obinna was watching the battlefield from behind, and at this time he praised in his heart.

Ye Qingyun laughed and said, “The empire’s military power is just the tip of the iceberg.”

“Is this still the tip of the iceberg?” Obina said in surprise, looking at the bloody battlefield, he fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that if Austria wants to default, it will have to consider the military strength of the empire.

A subtle smile flashed in Ye Qingyun’s eyes. The purpose of the Empire’s dispatch of troops to Austria was to prove to Europe the power of the Vienna Organization and attract more European countries to join.

Of course, it is up to the empire to decide who joins the Convention. Countries like France, Britain, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia do not need to be considered.

“Yes, in a few years you will see the true strength of the empire.” Ye Qingyun said, the empire’s technology is changing almost every day.

In addition to the military weapons that have been manufactured, no one knows what abnormal weapons will appear in the future.

After chatting for a few words, Ye Qingyun focused his attention on the battlefield.

Facing the fierce firepower of the empire, the French army was suppressed and could not raise its head. At this time, the French artillery began to fire on the Austrian side.

However, the imperial snipers quickly locked on the French gunners. Whenever the French soldiers tried to load their ammunition, the snipers would shoot them. Soon, the French artillery positions were paralyzed.

At this time, the empire’s tanks and infantry continued to advance. This combination of tanks and infantry tactics proved to be very successful on the Tsarist Russian battlefield.

Now Ye Qingyun is using it again on the battlefield.

French position.

As soon as the imperial offensive began, the place fell into chaos. Officers were shot by snipers, artillerymen were shot, machine guns were fired, and mortars were bombarded.

In a short period of time, this elite army in the French Civil War lost thousands of men.

Now the Imperial tanks were getting closer, and Bonnet could even see the flames sprayed from the machine guns at the bottom of the tanks.

Faced with the rapidly deteriorating battlefield conditions, Bonnet began to waver between obeying orders and retreating, now having no doubt that the Imperial forces would kill them all.

What makes him most desperate is that currently he can’t find any way to restrain the empire’s offensive method. He can only watch his army being defeated.

“Come on.”

As the imperial tanks tore apart the French positions, the Austrian soldiers rushed out of the trenches. They shouted Franz’s name and killed the French with red eyes.

It was this group of invaders who killed them in battle, killed their relatives and friends, and before France, they could not resolve their hatred.

In order to compete for Vaduz, Austria and France faced off on a front that stretched for dozens of miles in Vaduz.

Understanding this situation, Ye Qingyun decisively ordered the Austrian army to cooperate with the imperial soldiers to break through the center line, cut the French army into two parts, and then outflank the French army, completely destroying the French army.

Many Austrian soldiers joined the charge, and the combined tactics of tanks and rifles were immediately brought to the extreme.

Bonnet saw a look of despair on the faces of the Austrian soldiers rushing over like a tide.

It was no longer easy for France to focus its firepower on the imperial tanks, and now the dense Austrian soldiers were so dense that they had no time to take care of them.

Losing its firepower advantage, France suddenly lost its color on the battlefield, while the Austrian soldiers looked extremely brave with the support of imperial firepower.
