Although the Prussian cavalry were surprised when faced with these strange mechanical vehicles that did not require horse pulling, they did not hesitate. In the Prussian army, the cavalry were either from Junker families or from small landowners.
They longed for the unification of Germany more than ordinary civilians.
As cavalry, their combat effectiveness is unquestionable. Their duty is to protect the infantry from attacks. When they instinctively go into battle, every Prussian cavalry heart is full of fighting spirit.
It's just a pity that the times seemed to play a joke on them here. When they rushed up, they were greeted by a dense rain of bullets. Amidst the tearing gunfire, many cavalrymen didn't even figure out how to do it.
What happened was that even the man fell down and the horse fell down.
And when some cavalry wielding sabers approached the armored vehicles, when they slashed at the armored vehicles with their sabers, all they got was the crisp sound of metal hitting each other.
"It's an armored vehicle!"
"Armored car!"
Facing the armored vehicle, the unwilling Prussian cavalry did not give up. They circled around and tried to find a position where they could slash and attack, but their attacks did not cause even a little damage to the armored vehicle.
At the same time, these armored vehicles did not stop their attacks. The rotating turrets sprayed bullets at the cavalry. Sometimes it would even directly hit the Prussian cavalry. The cavalry who had no time to dodge were knocked to the ground and then were knocked to the ground.
The wheels rolled over them. Following the tragic screams, the horses and people were even crushed into pulp.
But what was more deadly was the machine gun. The Prussian cavalry that was rushing towards them fell in pieces under the muzzle of the gun.
The armored vehicles continued to advance, and their speed was also faster. The cavalry that had been galloping on the battlefield for thousands of years seemed to have reached its end today.
"Don't be obsessed with fighting, don't be obsessed with fighting, keep your formation! Don't make any detours, just press forward like this."
Although Zhu Sihai shouted loudly, other vehicles would definitely not be able to hear his shouts. With half of his body exposed, he could only hold up a small red flag and point towards the enemy...
The cavalry, although the Prussian cavalry tried their best, they could not stop the attack of the armored vehicles. These armored vehicles were like invulnerable beasts, appearing on this battlefield without any scruples. For the people on the battlefield,
The blow caused by the Prussians was unprecedented. Facing invulnerability and armored vehicles, the cavalry was at its end, and the infantry was completely powerless to fight back.
The Prussian soldiers who were marching, faced with these armored vehicles rushing at high speed, immediately fell into a more miserable situation than being attacked by cavalry. The armored vehicles impacting at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour burst out with violent force while driving - the machine guns operated
The Gatling gun fired bullets towards the Prussian column. The bullets were like death's scythes, cheering and sweeping away the Prussians on the battlefield.
The Prussians who were caught off guard took their rifles and shot at the approaching armored vehicles, but their shots had no effect.
"Quick, cannon, use the cannon..."
I don't know who shouted, and the fleeing gunners on the road unloaded the cannon from the gun truck. Then, they pushed the field gun and pointed it at the running armored vehicle. But it turned out that these required manpower to lift the gun's tail to adjust the firing range.
The gun was withdrawn from the frame, and it was difficult to aim the gun muzzle at the armored vehicle that was traveling at high speed.
"Go left, go left..."
Heisenberg, who was operating the artillery, shouted loudly. As he shouted, the gunner raised the gun mount and slowly stabilized it.
"Slow down, slow down..."
Finally, when he pointed the cannon at the armored car, Heisenberg hurried to the side of the cannon and pulled the match.
"boom!"
At the same time as the gunfire sounded, a grenade roared straight towards the armored vehicle, but the shell still missed. When Heisenberg ran down from behind the cannon, the position of the armored vehicle had changed.
Shelling!
The Prussian artillery responded quickly. When they fired at the armored convoy, although the shells basically missed, the moment the shells fell was earth-shattering.
The armored vehicle driver Ma Jiafu felt that the ground in front of him had disappeared, and the armored vehicles of his comrades in front of him had also lost traces. Instead of all this, they were replaced by balls of dazzling fire, and balls of explosive flames and gunpowder smoke, rising continuously in front, back, left, and right of the armored vehicle.
The shock wave caused by the explosion poured into the cab through the observation gap of the armored window. The Prussian artillery responded extremely quickly. Although their shelling was very fierce, it had no effect on the high-speed moving armored vehicle.
"Give me the flare gun, loaded with green flares!"
Zhu Sihai shouted loudly.
When using the gun card, they had studied some communication methods. Flares were the simplest method. When there was no radio, flares were the simplest communication tool when vehicles were moving.
On the gun card, the order for firing green flares in battle is very simple - "advance at full speed, maintain formation, and shoot freely." That means attacking the enemy's infantry and cavalry as much as possible, and first severely inflicting heavy damage on the enemy.
After firing the signal flare, and watching the armored vehicles charging at full speed on the battlefield and continuously strafing the enemy, Zhu Sihai found that his armored group was in an embarrassing situation. They had too few armored vehicles, only more than a hundred.
, on this long front, it is easy to fall into the territory of fighting alone. Although the Prussian rifles and even cannons cannot bring much damage to the armored vehicles, they can definitely find ways to destroy the armored vehicles, such as
Using weighted grenades, of course in his heart he hoped that the Prussians had better not have this ability, otherwise he would be really miserable.
The armored vehicle cluster responded directly to the commander's order, and all armored vehicles began to accelerate. Like cavalry, they approached directly towards the Prussian infantry.
They completely ignored the artillery shells that continued to fall around them, and they also ignored the Prussian cavalry attacks around them. Knives and guns could not pose a real threat to the armored vehicles.
Finally, facing these steel monsters rushing like a strong wind, the Prussian resistance collapsed. The most terrifying thing was never death, but the powerlessness in the face of death. Finally, some people fled backwards. For those soldiers
For us, now, they can no longer care about anything else.
