"Go to hell, damn Russians!" A Heavy Machine Gun from the Austrian army was firing crazily.
Austro-Hungarian Empire's industrial strength is very good, and the performance of their military products is also excellent. Although the Heavy Machine Gun equipped by the Austrian army cannot be compared with the General Purpose Machine Gun equipped by German military, it is at least at the world's leading level.
The dense bullets shrouded the Russian army like a downpour. The Russian army, which maintained a dense formation to attack, became Heavy Machine Gun's best target. Scatters of Russian soldiers fell to the ground after being shot, as if they were cutting wheat.
"Urra! Urra!"
The Russian army's Urra Charge is as powerful as a rainbow. Although, they were poorly equipped. However, when they attack, they are not afraid of death. Such tactics enable them to often frighten their opponents and defeat them in battle.
However, this time, the Russian army's Urra Charge doesn't seem to work very well. The Austrian soldiers on the opposite side did not seem to be intimidated by them, and were still fighting back with powerful firepower.
Under such circumstances, the losses of the Russian army began to skyrocket.
"Bang!"
There was a crisp sound of gunfire, and a Russian soldier was shot in the chest. His charging body suddenly fell to the ground.
In the Austrian trenches, young Austrian soldiers were pulling the bolt of their guns and loading the next bullet. At first, his face was full of fear. However, gradually, he gradually overcame the fear in his heart and began to fight calmly.
Many Austrian soldiers, almost all of them, slowly changed during the battle. The Russian army's Urra Charge scared them so much that many of them almost ran away. However, under the strong deterrent of their own Gendarmerie, they did not dare to escape and could only bite the bullet and continue fighting. But soon, they discovered that apart from the amazing momentum, there was nothing special about the Russian attack. They were still human beings and would be killed after being hit by bullets. As long as you can overcome the fear in your heart, you can defeat them.
This caused the morale of the Austrian army to gradually recover.
After discovering this change, the front-line commander members of the Austrian Army finally breathed a sigh of relief. No one wants to be defeated. They were also very aggrieved when they were defeated by Russians before. It's not that their soldiers are inferior to Russians, nor that their weapons and equipment are inferior to Russians. The main reason is that everyone is frightened by Russians. After overcoming their fear, the Austrian army finally began to display its due combat effectiveness.
The morale of the Austrian army gradually recovered, and the defense line began to stabilize. This is not a good thing for Russians on the attacking side.
"Damn it, how could their firepower be so powerful?" General Ruszky couldn't help but be shocked and stunned when he saw this scene. You know, in previous battles, the Austrian army has always been vulnerable. But now, they seem to have changed their army! Such a change was really hard for him to believe.
"General, is it not Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army who is fighting us, but Germany people? Otherwise, how could Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army's combat effectiveness have been so greatly improved?" said a lieutenant general.
"Germany people? How is this possible? Let's not say that the Germany people are attacking 4th Army Corps. Even if they are really Germany people, they are afraid I'm afraid that we will no longer just defend, but will directly attack. If Germany people attack, can we withstand their attack?" General Ruszky shook his head.
All the generals of the Russian army also looked deeply convinced. Indeed, German military is much more powerful than the Austrian army. If they were facing German military, I'm afraid the offensive and defensive momentum would have been reversed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Artillery shells continued to explode in the Russian ranks, and Russian soldiers were constantly torn into pieces.
"Da da da!"
The intensive firepower network composed of the Austrian army's light Heavy Machine Gun was wantonly harvesting the lives of these Russian soldiers.
Under the powerful firepower of the Austrian army, the Russian army suffered extremely heavy losses. Even if the Russian soldiers are not afraid of death when fighting, their courage will disappear when their comrades around them fall one after another.
Under huge losses, the Russian army's first round of attack had to retreat. Countless Russian soldiers turned and fled. Their escape speed was actually much faster than their attack speed.
"Long live! Long live! We defeated Russians."
Seeing the Russian soldiers fleeing, the soldiers cheered on the Austrian defense line. Countless Austrian soldiers cheered loudly. They haven't had a win like this in a long time.
"It seems that Russians is not invincible. Before, we were just intimidated by them. Now, we have understood that Russians is just a paper tiger and there is nothing to fear at all." A young Austrian soldier said.
"Haha, Russians turns out to be so vulnerable. From now on, we don't have to be afraid of them at all." Such words are everywhere.
Through this battle, the originally low morale of the Austrian soldiers was quickly revived.
"Asshole! After half an hour, continue the attack. Even if those Austro-Hungarian Empire cowards become different, we can still defeat them!" General Ruszky ordered through gritted teeth.
Although, he knew that this battle might not go as smoothly as they expected. But now they have no way out. This battle must still be fought like this.
"Yes, General!"
Not only was Russian 3rd Army Corps's attack frustrated, but Russian 8th Army Corps and 11th Army Corps's attacks also encountered a strong counterattack by the Russian army. The Austrian defense line seemed to have become impregnable overnight. The Austrian troops, whose morale was originally low and could be defeated by just one charge from the Russian army, seemed to have undergone a transformation, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly improved.
This made the Russian army inevitably suffer a bloody blow in front of the Austrian defense line and suffered heavy losses.
Although, the Russian army launched multiple rounds of attacks in the subsequent battle. However, they still failed to break through the Austrian defense line. Although, their attack also cost the Austrian army some costs. But overall, the Russian army suffered greater losses. More importantly, after this fierce battle, the morale of the Austrian soldiers was restored. With weapons inferior to those of the Austrian army and no advantage in military strength, it is understandable that it would be difficult for the Russian army to break through the Austrian army's defense line.
