Chapter 234 Despair brought by tanks
In an ordinary green military tent, in front of a simple table, there were a group of people wearing gorgeous clothes and European judge wigs. These people were the real nobles of all British North American colonies. Earl Linman, Earl Carl and Earl Stuh sat in the upper seats together, but fortunately the table was wide enough. At this time, it was already a week after the Yanhuang Trading Company and the British joined forces to fight back to the French who broke through the boat and broke through in one fell swoop.
Some of these nobles came back from the front line, some came from their respective territory, and finally followed Lin Man and the other two from Boston. Originally, a naval battle and a land battle, a total of two victorious battles were enough to hold a banquet and celebrate with singing and dancing. After all, this means that their policy is extremely correct compared to Charlie Mill's policy, and their behavior of detaining Charlie and then seizing power will be correct.
When Charlie was in power, the Yanhuang Trading Company and the French were both enemies of the British. Even if the two sides did not join forces, they would have forced the British to the edge of the cliff. Now, the British and the Yanhuang Trading Company were close allies. The troops of both sides even began to fight together, defeating the French and were about to invade French North American colonies and plunder. Even people's livelihood, a "deformal" recovery occurred while the industrial products of the Yanhuang Trading Company continued to export.
However, the power of the Yanhuang Trading Company was really terrible, and it had even exceeded the imagination of these people. All this had to start a week ago. At that time, the French had received a secret letter from spies sent by Carlot, and were ready to do their best to break through the encirclement between the British and the Fourth Garage Brigade. With the power of the British and the Fourth Garage Brigade at that time, it was unlikely that the desperate Frenchmen would be blocked, and even in the process of breaking through, it would be a bit difficult to cause huge casualties to them.
Therefore, Xiao Lin directly sent the tank battalion of the personal guard regiment. Anyway, when the Dian Union Tribe Cavalry was printed before, these White Tiger light reconnaissance tanks were exposed, and the British should have collected some information. Moreover, if the company finally swallowed up about half of the French North American colonies, the company's power could be expanded to completely crush the British on the North American continent. At that time, there was no need to leave any trump card, and directly pushing it over was the most convenient way to occupy it.
As a colonel brigade commander, Lin Xin naturally knew the existence of the Tank Battalion. He had also compared the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of Qing Kingdom with tanks and found that the so-called invincible Eight Banners Iron Cavalry could only be massacred in front of these tanks. He was still very excited to command such a unit. The Tank Battalion took advantage of this opportunity to conduct a long-distance training and drove directly from the company's territory. There was no need to worry about parts damage and power shortage. Ten Dongfeng Kicks followed, and the cargo bucket was full of parts, diesel generators and sufficient diesel.
There was no extra room for artillery bullets to be transported. Apart from the tanks, the rest was only half a base. The night before the French broke through, they quietly drove into the camp of the Fourth Garrison Brigade. Although the British were extremely curious, they did not dare to break and peek without Lin Xin's permission. The Tank Battalion took advantage of the night to complete the maintenance of the tanks, put on canvas, and rested for a day. When the French broke through with all their might, the Tank Battalion suddenly appeared behind their left.
Thirty White Tiger tanks that broke into the back of the side opened fire and rushed straight into the French artillery camp. The armor of the White Tiger tanks was not too thick, and they had a certain chance of breaking armor when hitting the twelve-pound cannons, so first of all, they wanted to eliminate all the enemy's heavy artillery. The French did not expect that heavy artillery was ready to evacuate at any time when breaking through. They were too heavy and they would not be able to keep up with the infantry and cavalry who broke through.
The fired were all small cannons of twelve pounds or less. Seeing a group of steel monsters spitting out a fuse and slaughtering their compatriots, the cannons were so scared that they turned one by one and started firing at them. The firing angle of the heavy cannons could not keep up with the movement of the tanks, and the cannons could only gather fire according to their speculation. After three consecutive shots, they finally hit five tanks. After a sound of steel impact, the stationary tanks actually started moving again, and the fuse continued to spit out, and all the French people who wanted to get close to them were beaten into pieces of meat.
The French were shocked and began to shout, "This is the devil's weapon", and then ran around. This was the white Europeans in 1722. Even though they had experienced the first industrial revolution, they still had the name of the devil. After a battle, thirty white tiger tanks killed 5,000 French people, most of which were artillery and musketeers, and the cavalry had more than 700. Because of their existence, the French's breakthrough operation was declared defeat.
There are only more than 18,000 troops left in the 30,000 team. The British also suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but they still have the power to fight. The French were drawn to the backbone. Before they got along with each other, they would never dare to break through forcibly before they could deal with the tanks. However, they didn't know that the White Tiger tank had already fired a base ammunition, and there was only half a base ammunition left, which was not enough to continue to deal with the next breakthrough. The machine gun bullet was fine, and it could be replaced by the 7.62mm rifle bullet of the Fourth Brigade. Although it would wear down the barrel, it was better than nothing.
The 37mm blasting shell is no longer possible. Apart from the cannon on the tank, the company has no other 37mm cannons, and can only carry them by themselves. Naturally, these news were completely blocked by Lin Xin. Not to mention the French standing in the hostile camp, even the British who are close allies now do not know. After seeing the performance of the tank on the battlefield, the British were shocked. They felt that they were no longer used to this world.
Originally, relying on their own muskets and cannons was enough to dominate the world. However, a Yanhuang trading company suddenly appeared and took out some new weapons every once in a while. The key was that the performance of each weapon was far beyond their own. At the beginning, they could still shoot one shot, and when the machine gun came out, the volleyball was fired and the volleyball was sought. When the mortar was loaded with heavy cannons, the castle walls became cemeteries. Now, you actually made a monster that was incompetent and equipped with a rapid-fire small-caliber cannon and a machine gun.
If it were just an iron box, it would be fine. Even if their weapons could not be penetrated, this kind of iron box could only be driven by collision. But how many people could the collision kill? But they had artillery and machine guns, both of which were powerful weapons of massacre. Only thirty tanks were exposed, but they believed that like machine gun mortar howitzers, these things would become more and more powerful. If this continues, will the British still have a future? So, they were worried and together, just to consider it.
"Michael, have your people get information about this kind of iron car? Is there any result now?"
"Yes, Governor. According to the information we obtained, this iron car was officially named the White Tiger Type Tank in the Yanhuang Trading Company. The White Tiger Type is a model, and the tank is its name. This tank is made of excellent steel. It is said that the layer of steel on the outside is better than the steel used to cast heavy punches. The specific thickness cannot be detected, and no one in the Fourth Garage Brigade cannon can be said. The weapons above are known, namely, a 37mm caliber cannon and a 7.62mm caliber light machine gun."
"Let's not talk about machine guns. Their small cannons are a brand new rear-mounted blasting cannon. The shells, like the company's mortar shells, will explode after hitting the enemy. In particular, the rate of fire of this cannon can reach three seconds."
"hiss......"
Lin Man spoke and asked a young nobleman to get up and told the tank information they got. Although the information was not comprehensive enough, it still made all the nobles present take a breath. Especially the 37mm caliber tank can actually fire at a rate of three seconds. What is this? The skilled private army who use Hall m1819 muskets can only shoot one bullet in three seconds. There has never been a gun that is close to or exceeds the firing rate of the musket.
Now, there is actually a kind of artillery whose firing rate exceeds that of all the white people themselves. Even if the caliber of this gun is small, it is still a cannon. All the nobles only feel that on the road of climbing technology, the Yanhuang Trading Company has stood on the top of the mountain, and they are still wandering at the bottom of the mountain. This is no longer something of envy, jealousy, but deep despair, which makes people unable to see the way out or hope.
Now, even the local area is not equipped with the most backward Hall m1819 muskets and heavy punch cannons for the company, but they are still making progress in a big way.
"Now, everyone knows how dangerous our situation is. The rise of Yanhuang Trading Company and even dominate the entire North American continent is no longer a stop. If we say we are leaving now, they are already running. If the French are finished, then we have to make a choice in the future."
“What choice?”
"Fis, are you a pig? Of course, you either become a Yanhuang Trading Company or are completely driven out of North America by Yanhuang Trading Company."
"Yes, this is the dilemma we have to face. Even this kind of choice cannot be accepted by us, so we must prepare for the future."
