My Italian: Chapter 143 Battle of Alem middle

Major General Pascal's concerns are very accurate.

Colonel Zelos of the Sixth Mountain Brigade on the top of the mountain looked ugly at the endless stream of Abyssinians, who were holding all kinds of weapons and rushed towards the mountain top that the Sixth Mountain Brigade was holding.

And behind these Abyssinians, there were some people pushing artillery pieces, which made Colonel Zelos look even more ugly. On this undisguised mountain top, his Sixth Mountain Brigade did not build fortifications. If it is shot a few times by artillery, anyone can understand the sourness of it.

Fortunately, after repelling the enemy's cavalry attack, the machine guns and artillery can finally support themselves. Of course, if you want their support, you also need the efforts of the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Mountain Brigade to block the enemy.

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Zelos, the brigade commander, roared, "Fire and drive these Abyssinians down!"

Following his order, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Mountain Brigade, relying on the terrain to cover themselves, raised their guns, and set the Abyssinian soldiers into the sights.

"Bah ah ah~"

The Sixth Mountain Brigade is worthy of being an elite unit from the northern mountains. The accuracy of its rifles is commendable. The attacking Abyssinians were blocked by the firepower on the mountain and could not lift their heads.

Here, an Abyssinian soldier who was trying to climb a mountain reached out and grabbed a stone, but there was no follow-up.

A young Abyssinian soldier was lying on the ground, his raised **** was already above his head, he raised the rifle in his hand, shivered and pointed it towards the mountain, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

Of course, these scenes are just a corner of the battlefield. Most of the Abyssinian soldiers are more at a loss in the face of such a hail of bullets. Lack of training, they don't know how to deal with this situation.

One might ask, what about their officers?

Speaking of which, it is not much different from them. Many of these officers were just soldiers before. They expanded the army crazily, so that these soldiers who only knew the order were promoted and became the basic officers leading the soldiers. However, in the face of such an unfavorable situation, these basic officers turned their attention to their superiors.

"Look at what I'm doing, attack and rush forward."

Not long after they were transformed from low-level officers to middle-level officers, their superiors issued their own orders angrily.

However, his order was very wrong. The Sixth Mountain Brigade gave enough respect to this wave of Abyssinian soldiers who suddenly appeared and dared to continue to attack. Therefore, more firepower let them know that they would charge in the face of the enemy's bullets, unless there was one Fearless heart, otherwise it is best not to use this method.

In the face of the unsatisfactory attack, Emperor Johannes IV, who was watching the battle, was anxious. The news of the failure of the cavalry raid before made him want to vomit blood. The elite cavalry troops have always been the most powerful troops in the hands of him and other princes and nobles.

This time he was hit hard by the enemy, how could he not be angry. More importantly, the cavalry did not achieve the purpose of destroying the enemy's artillery, and also lost 6,000 men and horses.

How hard is the Italian army with plenty of firepower, who knows.

But now for Johannes IV, he is already riding a tiger. Suffering such a huge loss, if he can't win a victory, then his position as emperor will be shaken. Even if the Italians don't call, the other princes and nobles will not let them go.

Therefore, he had no way of retreat, and he could only hope to take advantage of the superior force ten times that of the enemy to take down these Italians. As long as he can win this Italian army, he will still be the wise and wise emperor, and he will still be respected by the princes and nobles.

"Order the artillery to fire and hit the Italians hard for me."

After seeing that the artillery was ready, Johannes IV looked at the fierce battle ahead and gave his first order after arriving on the battlefield.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

These artillery pieces, sent by Britain and France, finally fulfilled their wish and launched a heavy artillery attack on the defending Sixth Mountain Brigade.

Although these emergency training artillery skills are slag, the accuracy of artillery shells is not high, and they fall on their own people as much as the enemy. But this did suppress the firepower of the 6th Brigade, making the attacking soldiers ready to attack again, of course, this requires ignoring the greetings from friendly forces that may fall on their heads.

"Attack! Quick, get up and attack!"

The leading officer shouted and ordered the soldiers to rise up and attack.

The continuous kicks and beatings from the officers finally made these soldiers climb up. They took all kinds of guns sent by Britain and France and attacked the hill.

"Quick, beat down the enemy's offensive!"

The Italian officers who were defending on the hill saw that the enemy was about to move again, and quickly ordered the soldiers to increase their firepower output to suppress the enemy's momentum.

For them, if they go into hand-to-hand combat, it will represent defeat. Look at the number of enemies under the mountain, and look at the number of yourself. If you really want to fight hand to hand, the result will be self-evident.

Therefore, for their own honor and their own lives, Italian officers and soldiers must stop the enemy from the enemy's thoughts.

However, although the Italian army tried desperately to hold off the enemy, the enemy's artillery did interfere with their shooting. After all, facing the danger of shells exploding around, and still able to shoot steadily at the incoming enemy, this is indeed a bit difficult for these officers and soldiers.

But fortunately, the support firepower from Major General Pascal, who had just finished the confrontation with the cavalry, finally caught up.

"Da da da da~"

The Maxim machine gun is worthy of being a defensive weapon. Although there are not many machine guns brought up this time, its ferocious firepower immediately knocked down the momentum of the attacking Abyssinian soldiers.

Faced with the enemy's machine guns, of course the Abyssinian artillerymen at the foot of the mountain would not let it go, and immediately concentrated their firepower to bombard these machine guns.

Well, the cannon is indeed the nemesis of the machine gun. Facing the enemy's artillery fire, the machine gun that was still aggressive just now wilted. Although the Abyssinian artillery level is not enough, but the artillery is far longer than the machine gun. How to fight this kind of battle that cannot be fought back.

However, just as they were rushing around, the artillery of the Italian side who had worked so hard to go up the mountain arrived~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although these were only some light artillery pieces, they had the advantage of the terrain and were still more threatening to the enemy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

The shelling from the top of the mountain made the unscrupulous opponent restrained.

High-level shelling from Europe has taught the Abyssinians a good lesson.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

A shell fell into the Abyssinian artillery position, and the violent explosion set off a chain reaction that destroyed several artillery pieces. This result scared the Abyssinian artillery and hurriedly shifted their positions.

They are no better than Italy, these artillery are expensive to import.

With machine guns and artillery up the mountain, the Abyssinians launched several subsequent attacks, all of which were driven back.

Johannes IV looked at the top of the mountain, still firmly in the hands of the Italians, knowing that his desire to take the top in one fell swoop was dashed. But next, he needs to drown his opponent with a sea of ​​people.
