The medal system in southern Africa is unlimited. Theoretically, if you are injured, you can get a medal. You can get one for every injury.

Like medals, the bonuses that officers and soldiers can get after returning to southern Africa can also be accumulated. Theoretically, if a soldier stays on the front line for four years and receives more than a dozen medals of all sizes, he can retire directly when the war is over, and the bonuses he receives are higher than his salary every month.

Of course, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. If you expect this to get rich, you might as well buy a lottery ticket. At least you will not be in danger of life. Medals depend on fate. If the shrapnel rubbed through Huang Hai’s cheek, if the direction is erratic, even if it is one centimeter, the bonus will become a pension.

Even without the help of Fox, a bipod light machine gun still made Huang Hai play with a general-purpose machine gun with a 600-fire rate of general-purpose machine gun. If the 75-round ammunition box is held on to the trigger, it will be empty in more than seven seconds. It will definitely not be able to fire so quickly in actual combat. In order to allow the barrel to cool quickly, the fire rate of general-purpose machine gun is recommended to not exceed sixty rounds per minute. In this regard, the water-cooled Maxim performed better, but the Maxim was inconvenient to use. Cooling water was added for every three ammunition chains. Moreover, the weight was too heavy and it was not convenient to move. Therefore, the Southern African Expeditionary Force used an air-cooled universal machine gun.

At this time, there is no need to aim at it. Huang Hai also ran the recommended speed of fire behind his head, and just pulled the trigger and swept it directly. After the three bullet boxes were empty, the barrel was a little red. Huang Hai had no time to wear gloves, so he moved the bolt and grabbed the red barrel and pulled it out.

Scream—

The steam immediately started to rise, and with the smell of bbq, Huang Hai did not frown. When he threw away the red barrel, the flesh on his palm was taken away a little, and another medal of contribution was obtained.

A machine gunner with skilled movements, changing the barrel and magazine, can control the speed within ten seconds. At an emergency, Huang Hai's performance definitely broke the record, but Huang Hai didn't have time to be proud. In just a few seconds, the German army had rushed to within thirty meters, and the German howling could be heard in his ears.

Fortunately, there are comrades in the Yellow Sea. If you look down from the air, you will find that the entire line of defense has become a fire dragon. The chains of countless tracer bullets are flying in the dark night, constantly devouring the lives of the German army. Verdun two months ago and a scene that happened in the Somme a month ago were staged again in a small village that could not be found on the map of Abel.

The difference is that this time the unlucky one was replaced by the Germans.

When the frontline officers and soldiers were in a fierce battle, Luo Ke was woken up by Anqi, whose eyes were covered in blood. This scene would never happen at the French command center. Xia Fei's adjutant would never dare to wake Xia Fei up while Xia Fei was sleeping.

In fact, Rock can't do anything now, and it's useless for Angel to wake Rock up. Even if Rock sends the reserve team now, it will take six hours to arrive at the battlefield.

The Second Cavalry Division was indeed powerful. The German army sent at least three divisions to participate in the counterattack that night. Although the Second Cavalry Division made great sacrifices, its position was not lost.

After dawn, at least 600 German corpses fell down in front of the bunker in the Yellow Sea.

That night, Huanghai emptied 20 ammunition boxes in a row.

After dawn, the 19th Division replaced the Second Cavalry Division and continued to attack with the armored troops.

The German army lost the courage to fight with the Expeditionary Army and retreated to Ypres who had been broken into ruins to continue to resist. This was the third battle between the Expeditionary Army and the German army in Ypres.

After experiencing the conquest of the Ottoman Empire, urban street fighting is no stranger to the expeditionary force. Grenades and flamethrowers are still the most powerful weapons in street fighting.

With the tanks, the Expeditionary Force had greater advantages in urban street fighting. At this time, the "Light Cavalry" had an advantage of 2.5 meters in width. Based on the tanks, the Expeditionary Force gradually advanced patiently, and fierce battles occurred in every house. The German army obviously had no experience in this area and retreated step by step under the rapid action of the Expeditionary Force.

The current urban street fighting of the Expeditionary Force is not carried out on the streets at all. There are no soldiers on the streets. The soldiers use houses on both sides of the street and the walls in the backyard to pass through. Without doors, they use explosives to directly blow up the walls. At this time, no one of the warring parties carries the so-called conventions that are not as good as civilians. They try their best to kill the enemy. The goal of both sides participating in the war is to do everything they can.

There are almost no civilians in Ypres. Three tug-of-wars between the Expeditionary Force and the German army have completely destroyed the city, and the entire city has turned into a pile of ruins.

What Rock did not expect was that the rapid action of the Expeditionary Force in Belgium brought about a series of chain reactions.

First of all, Verdun.

Hindenburg and Rudendolf, who had just taken office, would not sit idly by and watch the German defense line be broken. The day after the Expeditionary Force launched an attack in Belgium, Rudendolf transferred six divisions from Verdun to strengthen the German defense in Belgium.

With the four divisions transferred before Fakingham, Verdun's troops were reduced by about 170,000, and the troops were seriously insufficient. The German army began to be on the defensive position in Verdun.

Neville and Mantin, who have always been ambitious to instigate a new offensive, did not miss this opportunity. Before the German reinforcements arrived, Neville and Mantin bypassed Betton and launched a series of attacks. Neville first launched an attack on the German army at the Duwo Montex Fort. 650 cannons were launched for a full four days, some of which had a caliber than the German Beretta.

The Duwomon Fortress was severely damaged in the previous battle. Before the German army had time to strengthen the fortress, under the full attack of Neville's superior troops, the German army voluntarily retreated and surrendered the Duwomon Fortress.

Neville was greatly encouraged and ordered the French army to launch a larger attack. French media also began to advocate Neville, a new French "hero". The land that the German army occupied in four months through the Battle of Verdun was taken back by the French army within one day. Regardless of whether the land was voluntarily abandoned by the German army, they were all praised as Neville's credit.

Neville performed so "excellent" and Mantin was not to be outdone. On the same day when the German army gave up the Duwomon Fortress, Mantin commanded the troops to attack the east bank of the Mez River. The command style of the "butcher" was still so "slaughter". He carried a whip like a shepherd and drove French soldiers to launch a group charge to the German positions. This is what Fakingham always wanted to see, causing the French army to continue to bleed until France could not insist on withdrawing from the war.

Unfortunately, Farkingham has been demoted to Romania, and the German commanders were replaced by Hindenburg and Rudendolf. Hindenburg and Rudendolf opposed all Farkingham's decisions, and both good and bad were opposed. The German army was beginning to retreat in a planned manner. After three days of fierce fighting and adding 45,000 casualties to the French army, the German army once again took the initiative to withdraw from its positions.

Recovering all the lost land on the east bank of the Mez River has become a highlight of Neville's credit book. Four months ago, the French "hero" Betton was left behind by the French who were fond of the new and old. Neville became the new favorite of the French. Everyone firmly believed that Neville had the key to victory over the German army, and no one noticed that the German army also occupied French territory on the west bank of the Mez River.

In the distant Italy, the seventh Battle of Isonzo River broke out as scheduled, with nothing to describe, clumsy command, cowardly soldiers participating in the war, and poor logistical support. The battle lasted only four days, a little longer than the sixth Battle of Isonzo River.

That's all.

Further north, Galicia and Hindenburg served as the commander-in-chief of the army, the chief of staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kondra, finally received the long-awaited German reinforcements. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had actually lost the ability to fight independently and needed the help of the German army to withstand the crazy attack of Brusinov, commander-in-chief of the Russian Southeast Military Region.

When the German army entered the Austro-Hungarian Empire and assisted the Austro-Hungarian Empire in defense, the pressure on the Russian army suddenly increased. In order to strengthen the attack on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Nicholas II sent his Royal Guard to Galicia.

The Royal Guard is composed of elite cavalry and infantry divisions, with a total force of 140,000, and is the last trump card in the hands of Nicholas II.

However, the royal family member of the Romanov family, Nicholas II's cousin, was very dissatisfied with Brusinov's arrangement. He believed that the Royal Guard did not need to use flanking attacks and ordered soldiers to flow through waist-deep water to launch an attack on the German positions.

The German army attacked halfway, and the Royal Guard suffered heavy casualties.

Although Brusinov was heartbroken, he was helpless. After the three unprogressive offensives ended, the Royal Guard suffered 55,000 casualties, and the attack was forced to stop. The last ace in Nicholas II was defeated.

The sight returned to Flanders. After a week of fierce battle, the Expeditionary Force finally occupied Ypres. The German army suffered 35,000 casualties for Ypres. Since the Expeditionary Force launched an attack, the German army has suffered a total of about 115,000 casualties, and another 65,000 German troops have surrendered.

The expeditionary army had only 25,000 casualties, and most of them occurred in urban street fighting in Ypres. The reason why the tanks could achieve such a huge battlefield exchange ratio was that the role of the tank was indelible.

After Rock sent the battle report to Winston, Winston held a cabinet meeting and sent an order of 220 million pounds to the Niasalan Military Industry Group the next day, including 2,500 tanks.

This is normal. Although another space-time tank did not show such a huge effect, after witnessing the power of the tank, Heg also hoped to obtain a thousand tanks.

Germany and France only began to study tanks after the Battle of the Somme. By the end of the World War, the French army had equipped nearly 3,500 tanks, so there were really not many 2,500 vehicles.

What worries Rock was that during the capture of Ypres, the weather became capricious, and sometimes the sun shone brightly in the morning and the rain poured in the afternoon, and the use of tanks was greatly restricted.

After the rain passed, as Rock was worried, a huge trench appeared in front of the German positions.

Ypres’ 35,000 German troops used their lives to buy time for the German troops to deal with the armored troops.
