Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1178

[Chapter 1165 Blitz]

“Da da da…”

“Bang bang bang…”

“…”

On the smoke-filled battlefield, Bonnet could only see the sound of the empire’s guns and artillery. The sharp turn of the battlefield situation brought him to the verge of mental distress. collapse.

He has never experienced such a helpless war. The empire once again used advanced weapons to show them who is the master of the battlefield.

Facing the Austrian troops rushing under the cover of the imperial rear, the French soldiers finally collapsed.

For them, this is an unequal war, persistence means nothing, and a firm will will not bring them any gains.

In a daze, Bonnet realized that he had been dragged backwards by his adjutant. The French section of the central front had been broken through by tanks and imperial rifles.

The imperial machine guns in the trench had moved to the position occupied by the tanks, and dense bullets once again strafed the French soldiers, which greatly increased their casualties. If the fighting continued, none of them would leave the battlefield alive.

In the Austrian trenches, Ye Qingyun observed that the French central army was broken through. He immediately ordered the soldiers to be divided into two groups and led the Austrian army to circle back and outflank the French army on the front.

The victory in the central part instantly restored the morale of the Austrian army after consecutive defeats. Obinna, according to Ye Qingyun’s order, mobilized all Austrian soldiers on the battlefield to cooperate with the empire’s attack.

The dozens of miles of front line made the French army’s news transmission very slow. When the news of the defeat of the Chinese army came, they found that the imperial tanks had covered the imperial soldiers and the Austrian soldiers and killed them.

Especially after the central part was cut off, the French army could not look at each other from head to tail, and could only be defeated one by one by the elite troops of the empire. In one afternoon, with the help of the imperial army, the Austrian army completely reversed its decline, and the French army retreated and fled westward. .

When dusk fell, bonfires were lit on the Austrian positions, and the Austrian soldiers talked excitedly about the day’s war and the weapons of the imperial army.

Many soldiers even led the imperial soldiers to sing and dance to express their gratitude.

In front of a trench, Obina looked at Ye Qingyun with admiring eyes. He said: “Commander Ye, now Austria and the Empire have established an iron-clad friendship. I really hope to go to the Empire to see its prosperity.”

Ye Qingyun The intention to establish friendship with Obinna was for the long-term strategic considerations of the empire. He said: “This is a very simple matter. As long as Austria can faithfully fulfill the agreement, Austria will always be a friend of the empire.”

Obinna said with a firm The tone said: “Commander Ye, I will definitely do it.”

…

A city in northern Austria, Prague.

When the victory was achieved in the western battlefield, the army he led had just arrived.

Unlike the flat avenues of the Empire, many places in Austria are covered with dirt paths, which limits the passage of Imperial vehicles.

Especially since Prague had just experienced a steady drizzle, which made the roads muddy.

Fortunately, before nightfall, they arrived at the Prague battlefield.

“Commander Lu, this is the current deployment of the Prussian army. Compared with France, the weapons used by the Prussian army are more advanced. Look, this is the Prussian rifle we captured on the battlefield.”

Prague battlefield commander Dimon handed over a well-made The rifle was handed over to Lu Jun.

Picking up the rifle made by Prussia, Lu Jun frowned. As in the intelligence, Prussia really made a percussion rifle, which made Prussia’s war method more flexible.

This is why the Austrian army retreated so quickly.

“Using your muzzle-loading muskets against Prussian percussion guns, you can’t win at all.” Lu Jun came to a conclusion directly, and he continued to ask: “Does Prussia have other different weapons?”

“Yes, their artillery fire is amazing.” The bomb is also very powerful. “Dimeng is still scared.

Lu Jun nodded. During the honeymoon period between the Empire and Prussia, Prussia still learned something from the Empire.

This is why Prussia was able to dominate Europe in firearms.

However, what they learned was only superficial, and they were weapons that had been eliminated by the empire for several generations, and Lu Jun knew these types of weapons very well.

He said: “Don’t worry, in front of the imperial tanks, these firearms are just fancy tricks. Let the soldiers rest tonight, and you will attack the Prussian army at dawn tomorrow.”

“Initiate an attack?” Dimon said in surprise. He said loudly, “It is extremely difficult for us to defend now. How can we attack? Commander Lu, are you sure?”

Lu Jun had the offensive steps in his mind on the way here. He took out a pen and sketched it directly on a piece of paper. Out of the line of attack.

In order to seize Austrian territory, Prussia spent a lot of money this time. One hundred thousand Prussian troops moved south in three directions, and finally gathered in Prague to try to decide the outcome with the Austrian army here.

Because Prussia was determined to annex Austria, they built trenches and fortifications in the cities they occupied to consolidate their occupation.

The same was true in Prague, where the Prussian army built many trenches and fortifications during the confrontation.

“Don’t worry, you just need to feign an attack.” Lu Jun smiled. He pointed to the city of Most in the north of Prague and said, “Your intelligence said that Prussia has concentrated a large amount of war materials here, right?”

“Yes.” .” Dimon answered truthfully.

Lu Jun nodded. The empire is currently building a mechanized army, and the advantage of a mechanized army is mobility.

After discovering that defeating the Prussian army head-on might require a high price, Lu Jun decided to blitz Most. Once the French material transfer station was destroyed, Prussia would have to withdraw its troops.

At that time, he attacked from behind and completely defeated the Prussian offensive.

Dimon couldn’t be described as surprised when he learned Lu Jun’s thoughts. For him, there was currently no force in Europe that could break through Prague’s defense line.

“I will provide you with a good guide, may God bless you.” Dimon admired Lu Jun’s tactics very much.

The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the battlefield, the Austrian army suddenly fired at the Prussian army.

This move immediately attracted the attention of the Prussian army, but before they could recover, an army composed of steel machinery suddenly attacked them, catching them off guard.

After breaking through their defense line, this army did not hesitate to fight, but went directly to the north, leaving the Prussian army somewhat confused.

But just seven days apart, they suddenly received desperate news that their supply lines had been cut off, and panic suddenly filled the battlefield.
