The Rise of the Empire

"Fire!" Just when the Russians were about to rush over, several submachine gunners who came out of the Czech array pulled the trigger at the last dozen meters. The 50-round drum drum rotated rapidly, and the shells happily flew out of the projectile port, and the dense rain of bullets instantly made the Russian front line much thinner. The blood donation instantly dyed the military uniforms of both sides red, and this further stimulated the fighting spirit of the Czechs. Before the opponent's back row could react, rifles with bayonets had already stabbed them.

Accompanied by the sound of bayonets piercing flesh and the roars and groans of the remaining soldiers, the bloodiest battle finally began. After a Czech cut off the artery in his opponent's neck, before he could remember to turn around, a cavalry sword struck him. Pierced from behind, the Czech opened his mouth and seemed to want to call his companions, but in the end he could only send out incoherent characters. Finally, he struggled to pull the grenade in his hand. After a ball of fire, he and The small circle of people around him turned into a ball of minced meat.

The explosion cleared a field, and a road leading to the back of the defense line temporarily appeared in front of the Russians. A dozen Russian soldiers shouted and wanted to rush over, but three Czechs who came from the side extinguished the Russians' hopes with two submachine guns. , at a distance of less than ten meters, both sides fired unscrupulously. In just a few seconds, no one survived, and corpses were lying on the ground in a mess. Then a new fight started on these corpses.

The Czechs have better weapons and better organization. Under the cover of riflemen, submachine gunners and semi-automatic riflemen can load and shoot more calmly. They use a special melee bullet with a low initial velocity and a soft warhead. There will be situations where several people are penetrated.

The momentum of the Russian attack was checked. The battle has entered a stage under the control of the Czechs. Waves of Russians rushed up, then turned into corpses, then rushed up again, and turned into corpses again. However, the sudden sound of gunfire on the battlefield caused the entire situation to suddenly change!

A series of 3-inch rapid-fire cannon shells instantly swept away a small section of the battlefield. The Russians frantically pushed the 3-inch rapid-fire cannon to a distance of 800 meters from the battle line. The four rapid-fire cannons tilted to death with a rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute. Like four extra-large shotguns, the dense shrapnel wiped soldiers from both sides off the ground in pieces, and the flying steel balls instantly cleared the battlefield like a moving steel wall!

"Kill those rapid-fire artillery!" The four 75MM artillery pieces that had been hidden for a long time immediately launched a counterattack. Within the direct range of the artillery, the side exposed first had no way to survive. This is why Baron Merlin kept changing the position of the artillery, and in In this battle, I held back until now and didn't open fire.

The muzzle of the gun was quickly adjusted and pointed at the Russian artillery position that was firing in the distance. During a minute of rapid firing, Baron Merlin's artillery crew fired 8 shells. The hot shell shell exited the rear of the gun. Before it hit the ground, another shell was loaded in, followed by several more rounds. . The ultra-high rate of fire caused the temperature of the artillery barrel to rise sharply, so that the gun crew had to reduce the rate of fire.

Continuous explosions instantly covered the target. The Russian artillery group survived for less than 8 minutes in total. The gap opened by the opponent began to gradually close. The reserve team that arrived later blocked the Russian charge. But how could the Russian's long-planned offensive be defeated like this? Easily resolved? While the rapid-fire cannons hunted each other, the 107MM cannon and 122MM howitzer with longer range began to clear targets on the front.

The Czech defense forces were exhausted. After three of the four rapid-fire cannons on the flanks were knocked out, the entire defense line was even more shaky.

And just when the defense line was about to be breached, the roar of machinery from the rear changed the situation on the battlefield!

Led by a company of Cricket tanks, a battalion of Bavarian infantry rushed to the battlefield from the rear. When the frightening steel behemoth appeared in front of the Russians again, the Russian soldiers whose spirits had reached their limit collapsed instantly, and dense 2-pounder shells and large-caliber machine guns ruthlessly swept across the entire battlefield. There is nothing more terrifying than having your comrades' blood and brains splashed in your face. The flying flesh and blood and the vehicles like the God of War made the Russians completely lose their will to resist. Those who were not dead even gave up on escaping. After throwing away the weapons in their hands, they allowed the Czechs, who were far fewer in number than them, to drive aside.

"We're holding on." Baron Merlin looked at the retreating Russians as if his body had been hollowed out and died. He walked aside numbly. Now he just wanted to find a place to smoke a cigarette and relax. Then gather the troops, their battle is over. The rest is up to others.

"Come and try this." A cut cigar was delivered to Baron Merlin.

"Who are you?" Baron Merlin felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was. "Hello, sir." Baron Merlin immediately stood up and saluted after seeing the general rank on the other person's shoulder.

"Young man, do you want it?" The visitor pointed to a cricket tank parked nearby and said.

"Of course, if we have this thing, we can save a lot of deaths." Baron Merlin said.

"Only a true warrior deserves to have such equipment. He is our pride, not only the pride of Bavaria but also of Bohemia and Moravia. Young man, prepare to pack up. A wonderful holiday is waiting for you. As well as an intense training and equipment change, from now on, you are no longer infantry." The visitor patted the other party's shoulder in a friendly manner and said.

"We'll see you in two weeks." Before leaving, the visitor left a box of cigars and a piece of cardboard to the baron. "This is a special gift card. Don't treat your brother badly."

"Power to the prince, the 5th and 3rd Bohemian Infantry Regiment successfully held the position. It is a potential seed unit that can be promoted." Before boarding his command vehicle, Major General Eric said the subordinate next to him.

Major General Eric can be regarded as a new generation of generals, a new generation of generals who were born almost together with the Bavarian Armored Forces. However, unlike Armored Mike and others, he has received systematic military training, so his starting point is higher. Unlike ordinary full-time armor commanders, Major General Eric also had certain attainments in infantry tactics and artillery, so he directly took over an assault division.

Originally, as the division commander, he did not have to go to the battlefield in person, but this time the encirclement net was too long, and his assault division was broken into battle groups to plug the leaks. Baron Merlin's regiment has been the most tenacious and the best-performing unit in the past two days. It has a good fighting spirit and is relatively flexible in fighting.

The prince was going to promote some people from the Czech army, so Eric didn't mind helping him at this time. "If we go faster, maybe we can catch up with the offensive from the north." Eric said in his heart.
