Bayan has been under a lot of pressure recently because the comrades around him are too good at fighting.

If they could, the French were unwilling to attack the position of Lao Monkey's company, and instead looked for a breakthrough here in Bayan.

The old monkey was defending a factory area, while Bayan was defending the family area of ​​the factory.

Tsaritsyn's factories were basically built in the Dorgon era.

At that time, Tsaritsyn was the most important crossing on the Volga River, but it had no corresponding population.

A lot of the surrounding land is ownerless, and there is almost no trouble in land acquisition.

Dorgon was actually afraid of dealing with those landlords because they were inextricably linked to the upper class nobles in Russia.

As an outsider, of course I follow the principle of not offending anyone if I can.

Russians like to build houses with stones, but that is too slow.

These houses are all made of bricks and tiles, and their style is more like that of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the roof is not covered with tiles, but with a layer of iron sheets.

At first, Bayan didn't know what the iron plate was for, but when he saw the scene after the snow, he understood.

It turned out that the iron sheet was too slippery and would fall off the roof on its own as long as the snow accumulated to a certain thickness.

In this way, the roof will not collapse under the weight of snow.

What the Russians did was definitely a local characteristic, but this characteristic made the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty miserable.

When the coalition forces attack residential areas, they will naturally be prepared for artillery fire.

The 120mm howitzers bombarded the buildings indiscriminately, turning the houses in residential areas into ruins.

There were bombed-out houses everywhere and all kinds of debris on the streets.

The most terrible thing is the iron fragments on the roof!

The thin pieces of iron sheet trembled in the wind, as sharp as knives.

If you accidentally touch it, you will get a cut immediately.

The weather was as cold as an ice cellar, and my face was as frozen as an apple. At this time, the pain of a branch scratching my cheek would make people collapse, let alone this thing.

There are no ready-made fortifications here, and we can only rely on these ruins for defense.

When soldiers moved their positions, they were often cut by this thing.

There are two half-inch-long wounds on Hugjirel's face. He doesn't dare to speak now because the wound hurts when he talks.

But the more this happened, the more people around him liked to tease him. Until everyone around him was almost like this, the team suddenly became silent.

Others can remain silent, but Bayan cannot.

Because he has to direct the battle!

"Avoid the artillery! Avoid the artillery!" When the first artillery shell fell, Bayan got into the foxhole. After the steel upper cover was closed, he could hear the clanking sound.

There are ruins everywhere, and when a shell falls, the shrapnel may not be able to kill anyone.

Even the terrifying shock wave became less terrifying due to the obstruction of dense ruins.

The only scary thing is the damage caused by the rubble being blown up to a height of ten or twenty meters and falling down.

At first, the foxhole had no roof. After the shelling came down, the broken bricks and tiles from the sky rained down like raindrops.

Although you have a helmet, bricks can't hurt you. But the helmet can withstand it, but your neck can't.

A large stone hit his head, and the helmet was flattened, but his head was completely intact.

The neck is broken!

On the first day on the battlefield, only a few were killed by the shelling, and four were killed by bricks falling from the sky.

Later, everyone learned the lesson and removed the steel plates used for repair work and directly made them into the tops of foxholes.

There was no sound outside, and Bayan didn't dare to go out.

About five or six minutes later, fierce gunfire sounded outside again.

The shells came down one after another, causing Bayan's chest to feel tight and his heart to stop beating several times.

The French have often used this damaging move recently, after a wave of shelling.

You thought they had extended their artillery fire, and the troops came out of the bunker to prepare for a blockade.

But he didn't expect that the second round of shelling would fall immediately.

Those who entered the position suffered heavy casualties from the bombing.

Another company in the camp was defeated in this way.

After the company commander was killed, the entire company fell into chaos. Soon, the French broke through the position.

After the second round of shelling, Bayan hid for another two minutes.

He reached out and opened the top cover, and climbed to the top of a ruined building with thick gloves.

He took a look through the binoculars and immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.

"Du", "du", "du"...!

The rapid whistle sounded, and all the foxholes had their roofs lifted.

The soldiers crawled into their fighting positions, and mortars fired immediately.

The charging French forward immediately disappeared into the smoke.

Bayan felt that this was no different from previous attacks.

After the artillery bombards the infantry, the infantry charges, and after the infantry charges the artillery bombards them.

This tactic is no longer new, and the Ming army has an absolute advantage in terms of company firepower and battalion firepower.

The French have no advantage!

There is only one squad on the battlefield now, so it should be able to handle it.

It is better for the remaining troops to serve as reserves below.

"Boom!" A large pile of rubble suddenly exploded more than 20 meters in front of Bayan.

It can be seen with the naked eye that a Ming army soldier was blown up three meters high!

The man fell heavily into the snow, and blood spattered everywhere. The soldier who was alive and kicking just now was now like a rag doll.

What is this?

Bayan was certain that he did not hear the sound of the cannon.

There was no artillery anywhere within sight of the telescope.

This kind of explosive power is definitely not something that a mortar can achieve.

Bayan, who did not believe in evil, held up his binoculars and stared at the opposite position. He wanted to see what was behind the charging French soldiers.

Except for the howling and charging French soldiers, no heavy weapons such as artillery could be seen through the telescope.

Let’s talk about urban street fighting. It is very difficult for artillery to enter such a battlefield. The Ming army couldn’t do it. How could the French army, whose conditions were not as good as the Ming army, do it?

Before Bayan could figure it out, there was another explosion.

The squad's mg-42 machine gun fifty or sixty meters away from Bayan was blown away again.

An arm fell with a "click" sound more than ten meters away from Bayan. The port was a mess of blood and flesh, and glistening bone marrow oil was flowing out along the broken bones.

"Grandma, what the hell.

Class Two, Class Two, come up." Without any care, Bayan could only yell loudly and push Class Two up.

There are no tall buildings here like inside the factory.

It's a residential building with no commanding heights.

In fact, the ruins where Bayan was lying were considered the commanding heights. They were only two meters above the ground.

Upon hearing Bayan's instructions, the second squad quickly emerged from the cannon hole at the back.

The big-toe shoes stepped on the snow, making a "creak" and "creak" sound.

The soldiers quickly dispersed, found their bunkers more than ten meters apart, and exchanged fire with the approaching French troops.

The French army still has old-fashioned single-shot rifles.

The firepower is far inferior to the Aka rifle used by Ming soldiers to reason, and it can suppress the French soldiers even without machine guns.

This is also the reason why Bayan can suppress the French army's company and platoon-level attacks with just one squad.

Soon, the squad machine gun of the second squad also rang out.

The machine gunner was very accurate. Taking advantage of his range, he fired at the French soldiers whose targets were eye-catching in the snow.

One after another, French soldiers were knocked to the ground by machine gun fire.

Just when the battle situation was getting better, there was another explosion.

The machine gunner and assistant shooter, along with the machine gun, were blown up several meters high.

It’s that mysterious artillery again!

Bayan quickly raised his telescope to see where there was smoke rising in the distance.

After most artillery is fired, there will be smoke coming out of the muzzle. Although the smoke is not big, it is also a good way to judge the position of the gun.

This trick is especially useful against mortars.

I searched for a long time, but still couldn't find it.

Just as Bayan was searching with his binoculars, another shell exploded.

Another Ming army soldier was blown away directly.
Chapter completed!
