“Boom! boom! boom!”
In the northern Bulgarian battlefield, the artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Tsarist Imperial Army was firing fiercely at each other.
One shell after another, smashed hard into the opponent’s position.
The Russian Imperial Army not only had more artillery than the Austro-Hungarian Army. At the same time, the artillery of the Tsarist Imperial Army was still a new type of tube retreat. The artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Army was a retired gun.
So much so that the rate of fire of the guns of both sides differed at least two or three times.
Under such circumstances, the Austro-Hungarian Army was even less of an opponent of the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army, and was almost completely suppressed.
One artillery position after another was destroyed by the artillery fire of the Tsarist Imperial Army, and the Austro-Hungarian artillery suffered more and more losses. In contrast, the losses of the artillery of the Tsarist Imperial Army were much smaller.
When Archduke Ferdinand learned that this was the result, his face suddenly became very ugly, and it seemed completely unacceptable.
In his opinion, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Army will definitely not be worse than that of the Tsarist Imperial Army.
The Russian Imperial Army has always been able to fight only with the superiority of forces and the armies of other empires. When the artillery firepower of the Tsarist Imperial Army was so strong, this was simply beyond everyone’s expectations!
!
“Your Royal Highness, it seems that the Russian Empire has strengthened the artillery construction of its troops in recent years, and we can no longer look at them with old eyes!” Admiral Offenberg said with a serious expression.
Archduke Ferdinand nodded: “The Russian Imperial Army has indeed given us a surprise, but if they think that they can defeat us by equipping us with a few more guns, they are simply delusional.” We have absolute superiority in terms of troops. Order the infantry to prepare and attack. The cavalry detoured from both flanks and crushed the Imperial Russian Army in one fell swoop. ”
Archduke Ferdinand, as Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary and deputy commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian Army, also underwent professional military training.
“Yes, Your Royal Highness!” replied Admiral Offenberg.
The war has begun, even if not as smoothly as expected. There were even some minor setbacks. However, Austria-Hungary naturally could not give up on this. Otherwise, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the reputation of Austria-Hungary.
A large number of Austro-Hungarian infantry began to regroup, and then threw themselves into the offensive.
Soldiers armed with rifles, under the cover of their own artillery fire, lined up in a chaotic offensive formation to attack the defensive lines of the Tsarist Imperial Army.
In this era, because of the development of military technology, tactics are also developing with it.
It’s just that the change in tactics does not seem to keep up with the development of military technology.
Many tactics are still being explored.
In the era of flintlock guns, in order to ensure the output of firepower, the tactics of platoon gun formation, that is, the tactics of lining up to shoot.
But with the mass equipment of rifled guns, and then the use of platoon gun formation tactics, that is to find death.
However, skirmish line tactics have not yet taken shape. So much so that the attacks of the armies of various countries are almost all a swarm of chaotic offensive methods.
Austria-Hungary could not be considered a military power, and naturally had no particular advantages in this regard.
So much so that the infantry attack of the Austro-Hungarian Army, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tsarist Imperial Army, was no different from looking for death. 、
“Boom! Boom!”
The artillery fire of the Imperial Russian Army began to fire at these infantrymen.
Dense shells fell from the sky and fell into the offensive queue of the Austro-Hungarian Army, killing a large number of Austrian soldiers.
“Knock knock!”
Mortars of various calibers were also added.
The mortar is not very powerful, but the rate of fire is faster.
Shells rained down, blowing countless Austrian soldiers to pieces.
When the Austro-Hungarian infantry rushed to a distance of more than a hundred meters from the defense line of the Russian army, the Maxim heavy machine guns on the position opened fire.
“Tap-da-da!”
A strong Maxim heavy machine gun opened fire fiercely, and a dense stream of bullets was fired, shrouding the Austro-Hungarian soldiers like a violent storm.
“Poof! Poof!”
The bullet easily pierced the bodies of the Austrian soldiers, dropping them to the ground.
It can be clearly seen that the attacking Austrian soldiers fell to the ground in rows, like harvested wheat.
“Shhhhhh
Archduke Ferdinand and other generals of the Austro-Hungarian Army couldn’t help but gasp when they saw this scene.
“Damn the barbarians, they are actually armed with so many Maximin heavy machine guns?” Archduke Ferdinand’s face was gloomy, as if it was about to drip water.
You know, although the Maxim heavy machine gun has already been invented. The powerful firepower also shocked the militaries of various countries. However, only a very small number of countries have begun large-scale deployments. The rest of the countries are still on the sidelines.
Austria-Hungary was armed with only a few Maxim heavy machine guns.
But now, their army is on the battlefield, slaughtered by the fierce machine-gun fire of the Tsarist Imperial Army!
