Chapter 1168: Blitzkrieg
"Da Da Da ......"
"Bang ......"
“……”
On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, Bonnate's eyes were only filled with the sound of imperial guns, and the rapidly turning battlefield situation made him mentally collapse.
He had never experienced such a defenseless war, and the Empire had once again used advanced weaponry to show them who was the master of the battlefield.
Faced with the Austrian army, which was rushing under the cover of the Reich, the French soldiers finally collapsed.
For them, this is an unequal war, there is no point in persevering, and a firm will not bring them anything.
In a trance, Bonnat found himself being dragged backwards by his adjutant, and the French sector of the central front had been broken through by tanks and Imperial rifles.
The Imperial machine guns in the trenches had been transferred to the positions occupied by the tanks, and the dense bullets again strafed the French soldiers, which caused their casualties to rise sharply, and none of them would leave the battlefield alive if they continued to fight.
In the Austrian trenches, Ye Qingyun observed that the French army had been broken through, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to divide into two groups and lead the Austrian army to outflank the French army on the front in a roundabout way.
The victory in the center restored the morale of the Austrian army in an instant after successive defeats, and Obiena mobilized all the Austrian soldiers on the battlefield to cooperate with the imperial attack according to Ye Qingyun's order.
Dozens of miles of battle made the transmission of news of the French army very slow, and when the news of the defeat of the Chinese army came, they found that the Imperial tanks had covered the Imperial soldiers and Austrian soldiers.
Especially after the central part was cut off, the French army could not take care of each other, and could only be broken one by one under the elite forces of the Empire, and in one afternoon, with the help of the Imperial army, the Austrian army completely reversed the decline, and the French army was defeated and fled westward.
As the twilight generals, bonfires lit up in the Austrian positions, and the Austrian soldiers talked excitedly about the day's fighting and the weapons of the Imperial army.
Many soldiers even dragged the Imperial soldiers to sing and dance to express their gratitude.
In front of a trench, Obiena looked at Ye Qingyun with adoring eyes, and he said, "Commander Ye, now that Austria and the Empire have established an iron-like friendship, I really hope to be able to go to the Empire to see the prosperity of the Empire." “
Ye Qingyun intends to establish friendship with Obiena, which is for the long-term strategic consideration 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." “
Obiena said in a firm tone; "Commander Ye, it will be."
……
A city in northern Austria, Prague.
At the time of his victory in the western theater, his army had just arrived.
Unlike the flat avenues of the Empire, many parts of Austria were dirt lanes, which restricted the passage of Imperial vehicles.
Prague, in particular, has just experienced a drizzle, which has made the roads muddy.
Fortunately, before nightfall, they arrived at the Prague battlefield.
"Division Commander Lu, this is the current deployment of the Prussian army, compared to France, the weapons used by the Prussian army are more advanced, you see, this is the Prussian rifle we captured on the battlefield."
The commander of the Prague battlefield, Dumon, handed over a well-made rifle to Lu Jun.
Picking up the Prussian-made rifle, Lu Jun frowned, just like in the intelligence, Prussia really made a firing rifle, which made Prussia's war method more flexible.
This is also the reason why the Austrian army was defeated so quickly.
"With your front-loading muskets against the Prussian firing guns, you will not be able to achieve victory at all." Lu Jun came to a direct conclusion, and he continued to ask: "Are there other different weapons in Prussia?" ”
"Yes, their artillery fires a lot of flowering shells, too." Dumont had palpitations.
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 terms of firearms.
However, what they have learned is only scratching the surface, it is a weapon that has been eliminated by the empire for generations, and Lu Jun knows this kind of weapon well.
He said: "Don't worry, these firearms are nothing more than fists and legs in front of the Imperial tanks, let the soldiers rest tonight, and you will attack the Prussian army at dawn tomorrow." “
"Attack?" Dimont's mouth grew in surprise, "It's extremely difficult to defend now, how can we attack?" Master Lu, are you sure? “
Lu Jun had the offensive steps in his mind on the way here, and he took out a pen and directly outlined the offensive route on a piece of paper.
In order to seize the territory of Austria, Prussia invested a lot of money this time, and 100,000 Prussian troops went south in three ways, and finally converged in Prague to try to fight the Austrian army here.
Because Prussia had made up their minds 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 a number of trenches and fortifications during the confrontation.
"Don't worry, you just have to feint." Lu Jun smiled, he pointed to the city of Most, north of Prague, and said, "Your intelligence says that Prussia has concentrated a large amount of war materials here, right?" “
"Yes." Dumont replied truthfully.
Lu Jun nodded, the empire is currently building a mechanized army, and the advantage of a mechanized army is mobility.
Realizing that a frontal defeat of the Prussian army might be costly, Lu Jun decided to blitz Most, forcing Prussia to withdraw once the French supply terminal was destroyed.
At that time, he attacked from the rear and completely thwarted the Prussian offensive.
Knowing Lu Jun's thoughts, Dimont could no longer be described as surprised, for him, no current European force can break through the Prague defense.
"I will provide you with a good guide, may God bless you." Dimon admired Lu Jun's tactics.
The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the battlefield, the Austrian army suddenly opened fire on the side of the Prussian army.
This immediately attracted the attention of the Prussian army, but before they could recover their senses, an army of steel machines suddenly attacked them, catching them off guard.
After breaking through their lines, the army did not fall in love with the battle, but went directly to the north, leaving the Prussian army somewhat confused.
But just seven days later, they suddenly received the desperate news that their supply lines had been cut off, and panic suddenly permeated the battlefield.
