Mingxingretz, in two days, Bittenfeldt arrived here with the Elbe Army, which is a hilly area, and in two days, Prussian scouts were sent out in waves, constantly passing news back and forth, and almost every two hours or so a message would be sent!

As soon as the Elbe Army arrived, it began to be tense in its defense, and the troops of the three armies under his command stood in a zigzag position, and trenches and tunnels were quickly dug out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the entire fortification was fully erected, five armies of the Austrian coalition had already arrived nearby, less than twenty miles from the forward position of the Elbe Corps. Albright and Albert, two corps commanders, one left and one right, flanked the Elbe Legion!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The two legions soon thought that the Elbe Corps had launched an all-out offensive, and the shells were unfatally dropped on the positions of the Elbe Corps, and the two legions carried nearly 500 artillery pieces, and the shells in the sky were like rain, constantly bombarding indiscriminately.

Albelecht had given the order to crush the Elbe Corps in the shortest possible time, and then turn to the First Corps, thus achieving the strategic disposition of breaking the Prussian army in each case.

Of course, Albright and Albert will not be polite, and continue to attack the Elbe Army, first the artillery opened the way, and the six artillery regiments continued to bombard indiscriminately, and the positions of the Elbe Army were bombed with black smoke and miasma, and flames were flying.

Bittenfeldt was also unceremonious, and with an order, all his artillery regiments were also thrown into the counterattack, and the shells on both sides were fired unexpectedly, exploding violently, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Of course, the artillery strength of the Austrian coalition still had the upper hand, with nearly 500 guns, more than a third more than the Prussian army.

After a whole morning of bombardment, the Austrian coalition fired more than 10,000 shells, the entire position was bombarded with shells, and the Austrian army began to charge the Prussian army!

On the left and right, the forces of a corps were all thrown into battle, and the mountains were full of charging Austrian soldiers, launching a fierce attack on the Prussian positions.

The Prussian soldiers also did not show weakness to fight back, the Liaoyuan No. 1 rifle and the firing pin rifle in their hands continued to shoot, in contrast, the front-loading rifle in the hands of the Austrian soldiers, the rate of fire and the range are undoubtedly much worse, often the opponent fired three shots, they fired the first shot, such a rate of fire compared with the Prussian army, too much worse!

Of course, if it was only the gap in rifles, it was not the most fatal, after all, the Austrians were outnumbered, and there were superior artillery to help, and Prussia would definitely not be able to bargain.

However, in addition to advanced rifles, Prussia also has more advanced heavy machine guns, which are the sharpest weapons of mass destruction in the defense of positions, and they are invincible weapons of mass destruction!

Before the officers and men of the Austrian Allied Army rushed to the front of the position, they were already suppressed by a heavy machine gun! A whole twelve heavy machine gun battalions and two hundred heavy machine guns strictly protected the positions on both flanks, almost one every 100 meters, 20,000 meters, that is, a distance of 40 miles, enough to encompass the entire position.

The eight-hole heavy machine gun tilted the heavy machine gun bullets in a short period of half a day, and in just half a day, two or three thousand boxes of bullets had been poured into the position, and at the same time of intense consumption, it also achieved brilliant results, watching the Austrian soldiers fall to the ground one by one, even Bittenfeldt was struggling to follow the spit, it was too fierce, such firepower, not to mention one army, even if it pressed up three armies, it would never be able to break through our position......

Albered and Albert were even more frightened, in just half a day, the Austrian coalition lost thousands of people, this kind of combat power is really perverted, if you continue to fight like this, let alone reduce the Elbe Legion, it won't take ten days, and the entire Austrian coalition army will have to completely collapse! Whoever it is, is absolutely helpless in the face of such a powerful weapon!

"Order, all units temporarily stop the attack, continue to use artillery, bombard me fiercely, aim at the front of the Prussian army's position, and destroy all their heavy machine guns for me!"

Albelet roared angrily, the Prussian army's heavy machine guns must be killed first, otherwise, no matter how many troops there are in front of the heavy machine guns, they will be scum in front of the heavy machine guns, and they will not be able to break through the defense of people's fire networks, who knows how many heavy machine gun bullets these people have gotten? If this is fought for more than ten days, the Austrians will not be able to die?

The two commanders immediately changed the situation of the war and began to use their superior artillery forces to launch a new round of onslaught against the opponent, but this time it was the artillery as the protagonist, and the shells were fired at the positions of the Prussian army, and the stones on the positions were blown to pieces one by one.

The powerful artillery finally brought great trouble to the heavy machine guns, you must know that the current heavy machine guns are still on wheels, quite large, inconvenient to move, coupled with the lack of solid concrete fortifications to do security, it is easy to become the target of the opponent's strike, now the Austrian coalition forces have used almost all their artillery, do not kill the shells down, indiscriminately carry out bombing, heavy machine guns have a lot of direct shells by the violent explosion of the shells swept up into the sky, fell to the ground, directly fell to the shelf, Some heavy machine gunners were even blown up by the opponent's artillery, and the position was extremely tragic!

Bittenfeldt jumped to his feet in a hurry, as soon as the war started, he first suffered a loss, the price of these heavy machine guns is not much cheaper than the artillery, if you add bullets, even more expensive than artillery, this special one is blown up, then it will be a loss!

"Order, heavy machine guns pay attention to concealment, withdraw part of the heavy machine guns to the trench behind, dodge the enemy shells, and order the artillery to return fire with all their might!"

The Prussian heavy machine gunners hurriedly withdrew the heavy machine guns, after all, it was the first time to use these guys in actual combat, and they had no real experience in fighting the enemy, so it was inevitable that they would have to pay tuition.

However, in comparison, it was the Austrian coalition that suffered a greater loss, losing so many troops on the first day, all of them were the elite main forces on the front line, and they were unlucky.
