Chapter 142 Machine Gun Flames
The Hessian mercenaries were indeed elite. They braved the artillery fire of the guards and forced out nearly fifty artillery. Unfortunately, the eighteen-pound cannons were too heavy and there was no time to grab them. Nearly five hundred Hessian mercenaries went up and only dragged out three of them. The remaining artillery turned into pieces together with the Hessian mercenaries who were dragging them. There was no way, the damage of the heavy punches to these heavy artillery was too great, and they were not something that thick gun wall could withstand.
The Guard Artillery finally discovered the enemy's artillery position, how could it be possible to shoot only once? The heavy punch and heavy punch two cannons carried out continuous solid bombardment on the calculated position coordinates at the fastest speed. The Assaulter's mortar, skilled at 60, was divided into four groups, and began to spread artillery around the position, in order not to rescue the artillery and drag it away. The first element of the Guard Artillery Unit training textbook, is that when the enemy is caught, it is saturated and attacked to pieces, and it is killed all of them, and no one can be let go.
The Hesse mercenaries dragged all the rescued artillery and ran wildly to the periphery, trying to escape from the sky. However, under this intensity of artillery shelling, no horse could remain calm, neighing and moving non-stop. It was not impossible to bring them to the edge of their own artillery. However, the time it took was three times as long as it was. At this time, they did not have time. They could only rely on themselves to drag them.
The shocking sound of artillery shooting also attracted the soldiers from both sides of the trench attachment. The British army had heard of it and knew that Yanhuang Trading Company had artillery with fast firing speed and powerful fire, but unexpectedly, when the fire was gathered, the power would be so strong that it would completely crush its own artillery. All the troops who had seen 18-pound cannons would be overwhelmed by their power, but now they were beaten to pieces, and their morale would naturally plummet.
The British army was stunned, but there were no soldiers in the escort team. The guards guarded in the first trench were all equipped with escort teams with a date of more than half a year and had experienced more than two regular battles. Infantry and artillery coordination, they had already become familiar with each other and believed that their shells would not fall on them. Seeing the enemy stunned and the fighter planes appeared, the commanders and fighters who had been trained by Xiao Lin himself would naturally not see the opportunity to pass. The loud charge sounded, and everyone left the trenches and began to launch counter-charges.
When the British army reacted, the soldiers had already rushed to the effective range. Before they could grab the musket and aim, the thirty-year-old zb-26 light machine guns had already begun to show their power. Each light machine gun was equipped with two, one with a buffered heat-proof cloth on its shoulder, which was specifically responsible for shooting and carrying guns. The other one, a Type 17 pistol equipped with a butt stock, had magazines of fifteen light machine guns inserted everywhere, and they were responsible for alerting and changing magazines. The two went to the British army 300 meters away, and in just five seconds, they set up the machine guns and began to strafuse the enemy group.
In order to prevent their rough version of the infantry and artillery coordination tactics from harming their own people, Samur divided tens of thousands of attacking troops into several groups, and the soldiers were completely clustered together. In this case, the light machine guns did not need to be precisely aimed, and they just swept wherever there were many people. The guards only once when they resisted the coalition forces of the Adams and Pandy family, they used the powerful firepower of the rotary machine gun, and then disappeared.
Therefore, not many people know about this kind of terrible firepower weapon. Naturally, these warriors who do not have many intersections with the Adams family, Pandy family, naturally don’t know anything. The first time it appeared, the most scary thing. The British army watched a series of flames spew out from the thirty strange-shaped weapons, and people kept falling down, and many people couldn’t even scream. These militias who were not very educated and a little superstitious were all crazy.
"The devil's fire whip, these people have devil's weapons, we are not fighting with people!!!"
This kind of roar of meaning kept ringing on the battlefield. The morale of the militia suddenly dropped to the bottom, and even the Hessian mercenaries were affected. There were many farmers who could not survive, not very intellectuals, and naturally they were superstitious. Samur's eyes were so angry that he knew that these militia were unreliable. Unexpectedly, they were so useless that they could not exert any power, but instead affected the morale and combat maneuvers of the Hessian mercenaries.
Fighting maneuvers are also a nice term. In fact, it was because the militia ran and rushed around, which made the Hessian mercenaries not even hide. Today's battle could no longer be fought, and Sarmere could not find a way to withdraw the army for a while. With a sudden inspiration, he thought of the flag bearers who set up tactics for infantry and artillery. He quickly asked the flag bearers to pass the orders and let the troops retreat into the woods. He will not fight for the time being.
Naturally, the guards would not let them go. Samurai never expected the militia to block the enemy in the palace. If he really wanted to force them to do this, not only would he not be able to complete the task, but the number of casualties was killed or injured, but the militia generals didn't know how to arrange them. He was not afraid of the orchestration, but he was afraid that these people would affect the lower part and cause his order to lose its effectiveness. Therefore, the only way was to let the Hesse mercenaries have the Hesse rear.
The militia were naturally happy when they received the order to retreat. They ran happily one by one. The speed almost caught up with the horses running with all their might. On each battlefield, there were only one thousand Hessen Mercenaries defending the rear of the hall. The number of points was, according to the battalion commanders of the various escort combat battalions, they were not enough to eat themselves. What's more, there were three battalions and one thousand escort soldiers. Heavy machine guns could not be mobilized for the time being, but the assaulter's one-style mortar was OK.
Three people easily transported the mortar and ten shells. After a roar of artillery fire, the Hessian mercenaries who gathered in the palace disappeared almost. The tight blocking line was broken, and the guard soldiers who had been lying on the ground before shooting immediately stood up and launched a charge. The light machine gunner held the handle with one hand and held the gun handle with the other, placed his hand next to the trigger, and followed the charge with the light machine gun.
As soon as he found more than three Hessian mercenaries gathered together, the light machine gunner rushed over and shot at a storm, at least three-fifths of the casualties. Then an ordinary soldier came forward with a Yanhuang rifle and shot down. The firepower of the light machine gun was too strong, even the Type 5 and Six submachine gun was a little worse than that. Before the fifteen magazines were empty, the Hessian mercenaries who did not even have a bolt rifle had no choice.
One thousand people were defeated in just ten minutes. Fortunately, at this time, most of the militiamen who ran faster than rabbits had entered the forest. Under the command of the commander, they began to rely on the trees, grass and stones in the woods to build blocking positions. At this time, even the selfish militia generals knew that if they could not block the pursuers, they would develop into a great defeat. At that time, not to mention preserving their strength, they might not be able to survive.
The soldiers chased the Hessian mercenaries at the end and heard the dense sound of musket shooting. They lay down on conditioned reflexes, but fortunately they did not cause much casualties. The machine gunners were concentrated and fired wherever they installed muskets and fired the smoke from the guns. In this way, fifteen magazines could not bear it at all. Soon, the last few magazines were also empty. At this time, Xiao Lin's order also arrived.
The main purpose of this war is to defend the newly built three towns. Even if the enemy fails the first attack, it will still preserve most of its combat effectiveness. Now, it is not the time for a decisive battle. It is a very risky act for the guard to chase into the woods. If an ambush is caused by the enemy, it will be more than worth the loss. Xiao Lin received a report from the front line and quickly ordered everyone to withdraw from the woods and return to the trenches immediately.
The light machine guns used the last magazine to cover the ordinary infantry to retreat. Some anxious militia wanted to chase and shoot, but were all swept through several holes by the machine gun. Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to move lightly, and watched the guard soldiers retreat safely. Then, they became depressed. After today's failure, these people had no morale to continue attacking at night. Xiao Lin died and started to replace people.
Half of the escort soldiers in poor condition began to retreat, and all those who were trained for three months were recruits. The recruits could not be recruits forever. Xiao Lin felt that they had to come and see the blood. The first day had broken the morale of the enemy, and the pressure in the next few days should not be too great, just so we can let the recruits experience it. Xiao Lin knew that the recruits would definitely be injured when they went up, but every strong army was trained in this way, and he had no choice.
Ten light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, and scattered assault mortars, were naturally left in frontier positions. Xiao Lin asked the recruits to go to the training, rather than to let them die, so he would not be careless. Then, he didn't care much, and continued to take charge of the overall situation and dispatch the direction of the battle. Xiao Lin didn't know that a new logistics supply team had left the gate of the company's first town and began to come here. Among them, there was a person who gave him a great headache and came against his orders.
