Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

In northern Bulgaria, artillery from the Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies was firing heavily at each other.

One shell after another, smashed fiercely into the opponent’s position.

The Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia not only had more artillery than the Austro-Hungarian Army. At the same time, the artillery of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was still a new type of barreled artillery. The artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Army was a retracted gun.

So much so that the rate of fire of the guns of both sides differed by at least two or three times.

In such a situation, the Austro-Hungarian Army was even less of an opponent of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia, and was almost completely suppressed.

One artillery position after another was destroyed by the artillery fire of the Tsarist Imperial Army, and the losses of the Austro-Hungarian artillery were increasing. In contrast, the losses of artillery in the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia were much smaller.

When Archduke Ferdinand learned that this was the result, his face suddenly became very ugly, and it seemed completely unacceptable.

In his opinion, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Army is definitely no worse than that of the Tsarist Imperial Army.

The Imperial Russian Army had always been able to fight the armies of other empires only by virtue of its superiority in strength. When the artillery firepower of the Imperial Russian Army became so strong, this is simply beyond everyone’s expectations!

“Your Royal Highness, it seems that the Russian Empire has strengthened the artillery construction of its troops in recent years, and we can no longer look at them with old eyes!” Admiral Offenberg had a serious expression.

Grand Duke Ferdinand nodded: “The Russian Imperial Army did give us a surprise!” However, if they think that they can defeat us by equipping us with a few more guns, they are simply delusional. In terms of military strength, we have absolute superiority. Order the infantry to prepare and attack. The cavalry rounded from both flanks and defeated the Imperial Russian Army in one fell swoop. ”

Archduke Ferdinand, as Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Austro-Hungarian Army, also underwent professional military training.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness!” Admiral Offenberg replied.

The war has begun, even if it is not as smooth as expected. There were even some minor setbacks. However, Austria-Hungary naturally could not give up in this way. Otherwise, it would have dealt an extremely heavy blow to the reputation of Austria-Hungary.

A large number of Austro-Hungarian infantry began to form a formation and then threw themselves into the offensive.

Armed with rifles and under the cover of their own artillery fire, the soldiers lined up in a haphazard offensive formation to attack the defenses of the Tsarist Imperial Army.

In this era, because of the development of military technology, tactics are also developing with it.

It’s just that the change in tactics does not seem to keep up with the development of military technology.

Many tactics are still being explored.

In the flintlock era, in order to ensure the output of firepower, the platoon gun formation tactic, that is, the platoon shooting tactic, was adopted.

But with the large-scale equipment of rifled guns, and then the use of platoon gun formation tactics, that is, looking for death.

However, skirmish tactics have not yet been formed. So much so that the army attacks of various countries are almost a swarm of chaotic offensive methods.

Austria-Hungary could not be considered a military power, and naturally had no special advantages in this regard.

So much so that the infantry attack of the Austro-Hungarian Army, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tsarist Imperial Army, was no different from looking for death. 、

“Boom! Rumble! ”

The artillery fire of the Imperial Russian Army began to fire at these infantrymen.

Dense shells fell from the sky and fell into the offensive ranks of the Austro-Hungarian Army, killing a large number of Austrian soldiers.

“Knock knock!”

Mortars of various calibers also joined in.

Mortars, although not very powerful, have a faster rate of fire.

Shells rained down, blowing countless Austrian soldiers to pieces.

When the Austro-Hungarian infantry rushed to a distance of only a hundred meters from the lines of the Russian army, the Maxim heavy machine guns on the position opened fire.

“Dadada!”

A straight Maxim heavy machine gun opened heavy fire, and a dense stream of bullets was fired, enveloping the Austro-Hungarian soldiers like a raging storm.

“Poof! Poof! ”

The bullets easily pierced the bodies of the Austrian soldiers, knocking them to the ground.

It can be clearly seen that the attacking Austrian soldiers, row after row, fell to the ground, like harvested wheat.

“Shhh!”

Archduke Ferdinand and other Austro-Hungarian army generals couldn’t help but gasp when they saw this scene.

“O God! Damn barbarians, they actually armed with so many Maxim heavy machine guns? Archduke Ferdinand’s face was gloomy as if it was about to drip water.

You know, although the Maxim heavy machine gun has been invented. The powerful firepower also shocked the militaries of various countries. However, only a very small number of countries have begun large-scale deployment. The rest of the countries are still on the sidelines.

Austria-Hungary was only armed with a few Maxim heavy machine guns.

But now, their army is on the battlefield, slaughtered by the fierce machine-gun fire of the Tsarist Imperial Army!
