Chapter 758 Sniper Manual

On the battlefield, the Poles were completely unable to raise their heads by the high-rate, high-hit lever-action rifles, which was a real physical sense.

The eight-round ammunition capacity was absolutely unique at the time, providing them with the ability to suppress continuously.

However, even lying on the ground was not a problem for the shooters behind the parapets. The latter only regarded it as hunting. After all, there was a distance of more than 100 meters and the parapets protected them. It was difficult for the old-fashioned smoothbore rifles to hurt them.

"Damn it! What a meaningless battle. Why don't they surrender?"

Colonel Monta was very annoyed. He didn't understand what the other party was doing. It was simply a fantasy for such a small number of people to attack the dock where he was stationed.

At this time, Colonel Monta looked at the private soldiers of the Yasuski family who were fighting. The latter were immediately frightened, and the former sighed helplessly. He hoped that the other party could muster up the courage to at least create a little suspense for this battle.

Although he was eager to make a contribution, Colonel Monta did not want to take the initiative to attack or force these guys to rebel. After all, the lives of his men were more important.

The most important thing was that Archduke Franz did not have that intention. The Archduke's order was that he could request support if the number of casualties exceeded 10%.

However, this was obviously overthinking. The enemy was more vulnerable than imagined.

Although the battle was one-sided, no one cared about the colonel's emotions, or they were different from the colonel. They did not care about how many enemies there were, but only how many they could kill.

At this time, a Polish cavalryman came to the front line in the hail of bullets. This courage made people move the muzzle of the gun away by three points.

However, not everyone would express respect in this way. Several snipers had aimed their guns at the brave warrior at the same time.

Because this kind of person obviously meets the standard of high-value targets. Of course, the value standard of snipers was set by Franz. After all, there was no such combat mode before.

The first target of a sniper is the enemy sniper. The reason why snipers are ranked before officers is mainly in line with human nature. After all, for snipers, enemy snipers are their biggest threat.

And eliminating enemy snipers can reduce enemy morale and improve their own morale. However, except for Austria, other countries should not have such a type of soldiers at this time.

But it cannot be ruled out that some gifted enemies will appear. After all, Simon Haye was just a reindeer hunter before joining the army, and Zhang Taofang was just a farmer digging for food in the fields.

If such a monster really finds its feel, it will not be a problem that one or two people can solve.

The second place is officers and commanders, as well as those who may be responsible for command tasks or behaviors.

In modern warfare, killing senior commanders may not have much effect, because the existence of the staff system makes this behavior just an embellishment, with far more symbolic significance than strategic significance.

However, it was still the 19th century, and killing and injuring commanders would cause large-scale chaos in the enemy, especially the killing of low-level officers, which had a great impact on the morale of the bottom.

Especially when the organization and subjective fighting will are not strong, it is easy to break the enemy's organization.

Just like now, the Poles lying on the ground did not want to surrender or turn around to escape, but the enemy's shooting was too accurate so they dared not move at all.

The third place is the signal soldiers and those who dared to lead the charge. Eliminating the former will make the enemy's information not smooth, while eliminating the latter will hit the enemy's morale, thereby eliminating the fear of their own soldiers.

The last place is the artillery, rocket soldiers, and balloon observers. This type of soldiers is not that their priority is not high, but that this type of people are usually far away from the battlefield, and they are more careful about hiding and not easy to kill.

As for other infantry and cavalry, they are not high-value targets, and it is relatively easy to kill them.

The brave Polish signal soldier in front of him was not killed, because Colonel Monta wanted to see what tricks the other side had.

"Temporary Commander Dembovski asks you to withdraw to your original position!"

The cavalry shouted and passed through the array, repeating Dembovski's orders.

Although the messenger shouted retreat, the soldiers had their own understanding, which was one word "escape"!

When the first person stood up and started running backwards, the decline could no longer be stopped. The fleeing soldiers used all their strength to rush in the opposite direction of the battlefield.

The fleeing soldiers were like a flood that could not be stopped, wantonly destroying the order that had been established with great difficulty. They had only one thought in their minds, that anyone who tried to stop them would be swept away and washed away.

These people no longer had courage and reason, and only the survival instinct of wild beasts was left. They pushed away their comrades around them, pulled down those who ran in front, and ignored the wounded who fell to the ground, just to stay alive.

Burns Poker slammed the ground, tearing the grass stems on the ground with his hands regardless of the pain.

"The Austrians will not be able to hold on. They will run out of bullets."

He was still thinking about his achievements, but he would not waste his life in vain. Burns Poker immediately joined the retreating army.

Everything that happened in front of them made the defenders stunned at first, and then happy. Although it was a completely unequal battle, victory always brings joy to people.

Except for Colonel Monta, he was so angry that he pounded the wall. He didn't expect that the Poles would choose to retreat after paying such a heavy price.

His sense of honor prevented him from shooting at the enemy who had his back to him. This was the pride of the nobles at that time.

But soon a soldier shouted, "Look behind me!"

Colonel Monta followed the sound and saw a large number of cavalry approaching Wubao rapidly from the other direction.

"Well done! Let them know how powerful we are!"

Although the cavalry approaching quickly from behind were quick and brave, without the restraint of the frontal infantry, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.

Franz’s evaluation of this was “standard Prussian tactics, infantry to contain the front, and cavalry to surround behind.

It was a pity that the infantry retreated early, and the cavalry that arrived later became a target, but even a two-sided attack did not pose a great threat to Wubao.

After all, leaving 500 men on the frontal battlefield was enough to deal with it, and those cavalry couldn't break through the walls. They could only dismount and fight on foot, which would not have much impact. "

"The cost to the attacker is also too high." Lakshmi Payi murmured to herself.

Franz just smiled. He hadn't even gone up to the trenches, barbed wire and Maxim, so the casualties would be huge.

"Then why was the British able to conquer every battle in the Indian subcontinent?"

Lakshmi Pai asked with some confusion.

"Because the firepower of the two sides is not equal. In addition, the organization and logistics are not on the same level. But it is more about strategic issues.

When the enemy is strong and you are weak, you should change your strategy and build a city to defend it. Only relying on the original castles of the princes and families will not suffice.

Bastion can reduce the damage caused by shelling to a certain extent, but my suggestion is to combine defense and guerrilla tactics. "
