The artillery artillery was originally designed to be very conducive to attacking the trenches, and the Indian army did not have too many powerful land artillery to suppress, so they could aim unscrupulously.

In the rounds of shelling, countless Indian soldiers were blown into flesh and blood, and the entire position was already a sea of ​​flames. Since their positions were not fully constructed, there were not too many bullet holes for them to avoid, so even if they were hiding The Geely Indian Army in the trenches also suffered heavy losses.

Most of these Indian soldiers had never been on the battlefield. Facing this degree of artillery fire, they were at a loss and couldn't overcome their inner fear.

In fact, there are some soldiers who participated in the First World War in India, most of which have already died, and those who are alive have become officers or have returned home from the army.If it were the main force formed by them, it would be different.

After all, the army artillery of the Qing Dynasty has not yet come up. In terms of the degree of shelling and destructiveness, it is lower than the intensity of World War I. Of course, the defense line built by these Indians is compared with the fortress built by the Gili Gaul coalition forces. It's scum.

But those veterans have been home for many years, even if they are recruited again, it will take time, and the battle of these people is worrying, let alone wasteful years...

All the Indian officers and soldiers lay trembling in the trenches, looking at the fallen comrades next to them, their hearts were about to collapse.

"Lord Shiva bless, Lord Buddha bless these cannons not to fall by my side."

"Damn it, does their artillery fire need to be so fierce? Everyone is serving as a soldier for food, so why bother us?"

"Live! I must live!"

Amidst the many prayers and curses, a fifteen-year-old boy could no longer restrain his inner fear. The boy who had just joined the army by his side was hit by a shrapnel in the head, and the red and white blood and Brains splashed everywhere, and only half of the whole head remained.

'Do not!I don't want to die! I want to go home!"

He got up and started running desperately, crying and using his hands to wipe the blood splashed on his face vigorously, but the more he wiped it, the messy his face was all over his body.

A kind-hearted person reminded him loudly to let him climb down, but how could he listen in when he was in madness.

"boom!"

A mortar exploded next to him, and the cries stopped abruptly. He arrived softly and went to see their Shiva with his playmate.186 Chinese Network www.186zw.com

Their fortifications themselves were just digging a few trenches, and they didn't even have time to pull the barbed wire, let alone machine gun fortresses.

Moreover, even these Indians cut corners when digging trenches, because there is a lot of mountains here, the more difficult it is to dig down, so their trenches are shallow and wide, which is simply a target.

After less than an hour of shelling, the Indian army’s position was shattered and filled with trenches everywhere. In fact, they hadn’t built machine gun fortresses. Otherwise, given the solidity of the things they made, I’m afraid those firepower points would be fast. It will be discarded all.

You must know that their position is just Keating machine guns and small-caliber artillery. Those artillery was pulled out as soon as they started to counterattack. Even the machine guns were shelled and the pond fish was pulled out a lot.

When the artillery of the Qing people stopped preparing for artillery fire, this line of position had been ploughed.

"Damn monkeys, they bring so many shells, don't you need money for these things?"

Major General Hamilton could not help but sigh when he saw the terrible situation of the front line through the telescope.

If the Qing people had maintained this intensity of shelling, he swore that their troops would not be able to detect them for three days.

He originally thought that they would surrender only when the Qing support troops came up. Now it seems that this part of the army of about 10,000 people can eat them.

"I'm afraid there are not many people left in the front line? I don't know how long they can hold on."

Halstead didn't want to surrender now. If a division faces a brigade and is still on the defensive and surrenders at the beginning, even if John treats the surrendering officers no matter how tolerant they are, they will be sent to a military court after they return.

In the final stage of the artillery preparation, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty began to charge. Since there were not many artillery shells carried this time, the next batch of artillery shells would not arrive until the next day, and there was no artillery coverage deep behind the Indian positions.

However, the commander of the Indian Sixth Division apparently thought that the front-line position could no longer stand, so he did not send troops to support it, but began to strengthen the city defense.

But things were really the same as they thought. There were a total of more than 7,000 people in the two regiments in the first line, and only less than 3,000 were left. They paid a heavy price for their laziness.

Rows of infantry began to rush towards the Indian army’s position. They were followed by small-caliber mortars and heavy machine guns, responsible for suppressing the enemy’s firepower, but when they rushed to the position 800 meters, the opponent’s There were still only a few sparse gunshots on the ground.

As a result, the first round of tentative progress may become a storm, and follow-up troops are continuously sent in...
