Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Hannah, are you okay?" Manfrey looked at Xue Deyu, who looked obviously wrong, and asked immediately.

"No, it's okay." Xue Deyu shook his head, and then continued: "I'm just a little uncomfortable. I'm going to take a rest first."

After saying this, Xue Deyu didn't even wait for Manfrey's reaction and walked directly towards the carriage he had just ridden in, leaving Manfrey alone.

At this time, Manfrey didn't know where he had offended Xue Deyu, and why she suddenly became angry.

The Hans Empire's march was very fast.

Just as the Imperial Division quickly approached the Purple Flower Division, the Bavarian and Viking divisions that followed the Imperial Division moved to the left and right of the Purple Flower Infantry Division.

At the same time, the attached 86th Cavalry Division also circled from the north of Sommersu to the rear of the Purple Flower Infantry Division.

as time comes

In the early morning of the 6th, the 86th Cavalry of the Hans Empire took the lead in launching an attack on the Purple Flower Infantry Division.

When the cavalry of a division quickly approached the Zijinhua position in a classic cavalry square formation through thick fog, the soldiers in the Zijinhua position were instantly alarmed.

The soldiers who were still resting quickly entered the position when they heard the rumble of horse hooves.

Since they could not see the situation on the other side, these soldiers did not fire immediately.

But they had already pulled the bolts and loaded the bullets. With just one order, they could pour out their firepower on the enemy.

When the first cavalryman wearing the unique pointed helmet of the Hans Empire rushed out of the thick fog, gunshots rang out from the Purple Flower Infantry Division's position.

The war has reached this point, and both sides have long since become mortal enemies.

There was no so-called warning, let alone any temptation. It was the most ferocious attack right from the start.

The soldiers aimed mechanically, pulled the trigger, then pulled the bolt to eject the cartridge case and reload.

Every gunshot means the death of a soldier.

But those cavalrymen showed no fear at all. Because they know that in such a large-scale cavalry charge, whether you want to stop or change direction, it is a recipe for death.

The only thing you can do is pray that the bullets don't hit you and that you don't fall off your horse.

The soldiers of the 86th Cavalry Division of the Hans Empire lowered their bodies as much as possible and kept making their horses accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again!

Only when they rush into the infantry, that's when they will show their power.

When these cavalrymen were less than a hundred meters away from the outermost position, the heavy machine guns that had been prepared began to spit fire snakes.

The half-meter-long fire snake was like a sickle of death, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of soldiers.

At this distance, the bullets fired by the heavy machine gun have extremely strong penetrating power. The bullets often hit the chest of the person in front, emerge from his back, and then penetrate into the body of the soldier behind him.

It has to be said that since the heavy machine gun appeared on the battlefield, it has always been the only way to suppress the enemy.

In addition, some people may ask why they did not use heavy machine guns to suppress this group of cavalry at the beginning, but had to wait until they were [-] meters away before firing.

You have to admire the psychological endurance of this group of Purple Flower soldiers.

Generally speaking, when infantry encounters cavalry rushing into battle, the best way is to use heavy machine guns to suppress them and prevent the opponent from getting close to them.

But there is a disadvantage in doing this, that is, the speed of the cavalry is not increased, and they can change the target of the attack at any time.

This means that if the cavalry find that the firepower from their front is too strong, they can always switch to the flank and launch an attack.

However, the heavy machine gun is heavy and it will be difficult to change direction.

Therefore, generally teams with low combat effectiveness and low fighting will like to keep the cavalry at a safe distance, that is, after discovering the cavalry, they use heavy machine guns to suppress the opponent.

Some soldiers with relatively high fighting will, or relatively elite soldiers, prefer to increase the speed of the cavalry and then use heavy machine guns to suppress the enemy.

In doing so, those cavalrymen would be unable to change directions because they were too fast, and would suffer huge casualties.

But generally speaking, this distance will be controlled between 200 meters and 250 meters.

Just like the Purple Flower Infantry Division, the elite among the elite, they prefer to put the cavalry within a hundred meters.

This is easy to say, but it tests the psychological endurance of the soldiers and the cooperation between them.

It can be said that those who are skilled in art are bold. It is precisely because the soldiers of the Zijinhua Infantry Division have strong psychological endurance and strong weapons and equipment that they dare to put more than a thousand Hans Empire cavalry into a distance of [-] meters.

From the beginning to the end of the attack, this attack stopped. A cavalry regiment sent by the Hans Empire suffered all casualties.

With this kind of firepower intensity and combat effectiveness, I have to say that they are worthy of being the most elite teams in the Gallic Empire.

However, such casualties are nothing in this battle.

Just when the cavalry was wiped out, in less than a minute, the artillery of the Hans Empire fell into the position where the battle had just taken place.

Not only that, on the frontal battlefield, the Imperial Division of the Hans Empire also began to attack the Purple Flower position under the cover of artillery.

Especially the Imperial Division, they prepared some grenade launchers obtained from the Daxia Empire.

Originally, these things were disdainful to the Hans Empire. They felt that the caliber of these things was small and not very lethal.

But in actual combat, I found that this thing is not very easy to use.

It is lightweight, easy to operate, light in weight, and has high accuracy. It can be fired anytime and anywhere, and it can also shoot in a curve. It can be used as a supplementary firepower for infantry.

In trench warfare or street fighting, it is easy to destroy enemy firepower points.

After realizing this, the Hans Imperial Command imported a batch to Daxia and prepared to give them to elite troops like the Imperial Division to serve as supplementary firepower for the infantry squads.

An infantry squad is equipped with two grenades and two submachine guns or shotguns.

This kind of submachine guns and shotguns were also imported from Daxia, because the Hans Empire High Command found that the infantry support weapons of the Daxia Empire were better to use than those they produced themselves.

Take submachine guns for example. Although the weight of the submachine guns produced by Daxia is too heavy for Asians, it is just right for Europeans.

In addition, submachine guns have good accuracy and low failure rate, so this kind of weapon is one of the most purchased weapons by the Hans Empire.

As for shotguns, this kind of weapon has been around for a long time, but this thing is used by the Millicians for hunting.

However, the Daxia people improved the ammunition supply method and ammunition types, giving him good combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

For example, the current Daxia Empire standard shotgun, the Empire Type 6 shotgun, uses a pump-type ammunition supply. The pump can be loaded with 12 rounds of No. [-] ammunition, plus one round in the chamber. It can shoot seven times when fully loaded.

After each shot, you only need to pull the gun pump under the barrel to complete loading.

There are two types of No. 12 ammunition, one is a shotgun filled with steel balls, and the other is a single-point bullet.

It can be said to be a multi-functional weapon suitable for close range shooting.

This kind of weapon has been equipped within the Daxia Empire, and only a small part has been sold to the Hans Empire.

But even this made the Hans Empire extremely popular among the soldiers.
