Chapter 2268: Not a normal German mercenary

The latest website: From the map, Vienna --- Bratislava --- Komano --- Budapest is a line, and the rear supply base of the South China Army is Budapest, passing through Komano The city transported supplies to Bratislava, and using the city as a springboard, you can attack Vienna!

However, the loss of Comano in the rear is equivalent to slashing the South China Army at the waist and cutting off their supply line. Without supplies, it is a mirror image of the water and moon to attack Vienna, and even the South China Army at the front cannot be safe.

Now that the main force of the Austrians are attracted to Bratislava, Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli has been commanding a heavy attack, trying to relieve the siege of Bratislava. Why did the enemy come to me? From the rear of the army, lay down the city of Comano? Who is so great?

"The Japanese warrior Yakushi Maruichiro was guarding Comano City. This person is still considered to be an old man, and the surrounding mountains of Comano City are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city was captured by a large-scale bomb raid. Why? Will the city fall?" Zhang Jiayu was puzzled, but soon the news from the defeat of Comano said that it was not the Austrians who broke the city, but the German mercenary group, that is, mercenaries from Bavaria.

"Damn, it's sad that the mercenary group that worked for the money defeated the Japanese people!" Zhang Jiayu has sources of intelligence and knows what the German mercenary group is. They actually defeated the well-trained Japanese people who are known as the number one in the Imperial Confederate Army (for The title, Asan has opinions)!

He was out of anger, so he sent someone to the rear with his saber and ordered the escaped Japanese General Yakushi Maruichiro to commit suicide!

German mercenaries are well-known in Europe. They fight for money, which is a business practice. Throughout the 16th to 17th centuries, whether in England, France, the Netherlands, or in Ireland, or even in the far east, the South China Army When attacking, they all encountered German mercenaries.

A large number of Germans have participated in this prosperous business, regardless of faith-Catholic German mercenaries can fight for Protestant Britain and the Netherlands. Similarly, Protestant German mercenaries can serve the Catholic Pope. .

With their powerful combat skills, they have become a "hot commodity" in the mercenary market. They fight for money. Not only will they go to the party who pays the most and in time, but also deliberately to ensure that they are alive and get the reward. Avoid war. In the previous hundred years, as long as German mercenaries participated in a lot of wars, Europe's rare land battles with huge casualties had a lot to do with the mode of mercenary combat. By the 17th century, many small German princes simply Pack all of your subjects for rent and participate in the war to make money.

Think about it, this kind of stuff actually defeated the Japanese, and the Japanese are really embarrassed!

Let’s say that the Japanese general Yakushi Maruichiro had Zhang Jiayu’s blue eyes, and he was responsible for protecting the city of Comano.

But he focused on defending the west, and didn't care much about the rear position.

People are not as good as the sky, and there is a path that leads to the rear of Comano without passing through his defensive positions.

This path is sinister and difficult beyond imagination. The side of this small road is covered with moss and vines. There are virgin forests and towering trees everywhere. It is difficult for the sun to penetrate this dense forest, and there are rotting leaves and mud underneath. If you accidentally stumble or fail to grasp the vines, people will fall on sharp rocks or fall into a rushing stream!

The Japanese scouts were still qualified. They reported the surrounding geographic situation to the pharmacist Maruichiro. He believed that it was impossible for anyone to surpass this natural barrier, and there was no need even to send someone to defend!

Yakushi Maruichiro was so wrong!

He completely underestimated the desperate spirit of Baipi. The five thousand German mercenaries from Bavaria were led by the leader Hoffmann. A thousand steps have been built!

When Shiraito miraculously surged from behind and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese, Yakushi Maruichiro was dumbfounded!

Bullets and gunpowder cans rained down on the Japanese positions. During the fierce battle, Yakushi Maruichiro ate a near-missing bullet, which was blown into a concussion and was unable to command. The army was chaotic. German mercenaries took the opportunity to attack and the Japanese defeated Lost, only 3,000 of the 8,000 people escaped alive, and the others were thrown down by the fierce firepower of the German mercenaries, and fell into the bullet rain in rows!

After learning of the news, Zhang Jiayu knew the importance of Comano, but his two main forces composed of Chinese were caught in the Austrian battle, and his dilemma was exposed---not enough. Chinese military!

He found Major General Eckelberg, the commander of the White-skinned Imperial Army. This is a Romanian general. Zhang Jiayu summoned him and unceremoniously said to him: "I have made Yakushi Maruichiro commit suicide. I I want you to go to Comano City to serve as a commander, and I want you to take Comano City, otherwise, you don't come back alive to see me!"

Major General Eckelberg took office. He had ten thousand white-skinned imperial troops, five thousand Japanese and five thousand Indians, and he used these troops to attack the city of Comano.

The frontal position of the city was the line of defense that Yakushi Maruichiro worked so hard to manage. Therefore, as soon as the battle started, Major General Eckelberg was in trouble. The Japanese men who attacked were blocked by the destructive firepower of German mercenaries. The dense scorching bullets and the continuously dropped bombs formed a terrible barrage. The imperial army's advancement can only be counted in meters, and it took a long time to advance fifty meters!

The fighting in Comano was so fierce. Major General Eckelberg later wrote in his memories: “The mercenaries dropped so many bombs that they knocked all of us to the ground, some even I was blown up and boarded the'airplane' that the emperor said!"

These bombs ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ were all left by the Japanese defenders of Comano City. They were taken down by mercenaries before they had time to detonate the gunpowder when they fled. They are now used to bomb the Imperial Army and let them eat. On the bombs crafted by the Chinese, after the fierce battle, the corpses of the Imperial Army were piled up on the mountain road!

Major General Eckelberg did not dare to neglect and drove the troops to continuously attack. The German mercenaries showed extraordinary combat effectiveness, which was very different from the previous performance of greed and fear of death.

Wang Hesen, a war correspondent with the army, wrote: “The roads are full of rotting corpses. Some corpses have been left for several days. The living people leaned on the corpses and shot, and slept side by side with them. All places are filled with With the smell of rotting corpses, many people lost their sense of smell after the battle was over!"

Before the end of the battle, this stench had become unbearable, so that Major General Eckelberg sent an envoy to negotiate with the German mercenaries under the white flag.

After rounds of **** battles, Major General Eckelberg took the city of Comano. However, the remaining German mercenaries retreated to the rear road of Comano, and more German mercenaries arrived!
