Chapter 48: The first strike is stronger
In Xiaolin Town under the night, ordinary civilians have already entered sleep. The day of work has made everyone very tired. Although they have a lot of salary, they have no extra energy to spend. However, in today's town, there is still a room on lights. As a town office for handling official business, it is usually quiet as Xiaolin's rest. The reason why people are still shaking is because Xiaolin has not rested.
James received the news that he asked him to rush to the town office for a meeting immediately. There was an emergency. He did not dare to neglect, and rode the horse equipped for the company commander and rushed from the military camp to the town office overnight. When he arrived, he found that everyone had arrived, and he was alone.
"Sorry, I'm late, sorry."
"Okay, James, sit down right away. Let's start right away."
Xiao Lin stood up to stop James' courtesy, because there are still many Eagle Tribe warriors who are not familiar with English, and both sides only know less than a hundred words of Chinese, so the situation can only be explained by Xiao Lin. The matter goes back to three days ago, and Kuir heard about the four tribes that were going to unite to attack the Xiao Lin power with the Adams family. He had contacted Apache before and knew that the entire Eagle Tribe had plans to join the Xiao Lin power, and this matter was already related to the survival of their tribe.
In a hurry, Kuier exposed his whereabouts and was chased by the strongest soldiers sent by the four major tribes. Speaking of which, if Xiao Lin was blamed, if he hadn't sold these tribes to the compound bow with a range of 120 steps, Kuier wouldn't have been so embarrassed. When he was discovered by the soldiers under Xiao Lin who were patrolling Xiao Lin, an arrow was inserted on his shoulder and there were traces of knife wounds on his body. If Xiao Lin hadn't been preparing the medicine for injury, Kuier might not have been able to save him.
He was also a strong man. While he was treating, he explained the news he had heard in detail. Xiao Lin did not dare to neglect. If the number of warriors in these four tribes was added, the number of enemies that were invaded this time could reach 3,000. His subordinates had only 400 people, and the proportion was almost ten to one. The people in the Eagle Tribe have not completely given up on bows and arrows. Always spent half of their energy on bows and arrows. Even if they had a formal rifle, the power they could exert was not strong.
Moreover, this time when the Adams family attacked, they would definitely bring cannons. Even if they were equipped with guns, their power would not be ignored by Xiao Lin and the others. Although with those five hundred submachine guns and ten boxes of wooden grenades, Xiao Lin and the others would definitely be able to win, but if the manpower lost too much, it would be too harmful to the development of the power.
Xiao Lin was not afraid of their bows and arrows for the four Indian tribes, but he was worried about the melee ability of these people. Xiao Lin, who had learned the fighting skills of modern army, could be said that he was not afraid of the British army of this period in close combat. However, these Indians tempered under the claws of wild beasts might be the case. This kind of combat skills tempered on the edge of life and death can always burst out with amazing power. If they could not defeat these people in front of them, casualties would appear.
So, Xiao Lin made a decision to make the best move first. They can't fight the people of the Adams family for the time being. Since the Indians from these four tribes dare to blow up the thorns, they will kill them first. Moreover, the four tribes can harvest at least more than 1,500 labor, whether they are slaves or new populations, it will be a huge supplement to them. This time, the four company commanders and civilian managers such as Isa were summoned to formulate a complete action plan.
With the efforts of Xiao Lin, they turned their combat thinking to the level of the 20th century, and these people could also help out their ideas. The lights in the town hall were not extinguished until it was dawn. Xiao Lin and the four company commanders did not rest. They immediately returned to the military camp and left the town with four companies. The remaining men aged 14 to 50 in the town picked up the smoothbore gun seized from Babu's previous men and temporarily assumed the responsibility of defense.
The warriors riding bicycles had a speed that was not as fast as the Indian tribes, which were not even a few horses. In one day, they had already arrived at a place close to the four tribes. The four companies were operating separately, and each company was responsible for attacking an Indian tribe. The maximum number of warriors in these four tribes was only 200. Xiao Lin believed that with the advantage of weapons and training, a company of 100 soldiers was enough to defeat a tribe. Just in case, each company commander carried a five-six submachine gun, which was a magazine, with three white-haired bullets and ten wooden grenades.
The five box cannons were handed over to the five most loyal platoon leaders for use. After three hours of rest, the battle officially started. Although the four Indian tribes knew that the plan was exposed, they thought that the united forces of the four sides were enough to make Xiao Lin afraid. Instead of attacking them, buying was the best method. Therefore, they did not have much defense.
Under the precise attack of the official rifle, all the soldiers exposed outside were killed. In each tribe, only twenty soldiers lost their combat power. The most were the tribe led by Xiao Lin to attack lost more than fifty people. One battalion commander and three company commanders, holding submachine guns, shot specifically at the enemies who wanted to gather. The four tribes were caught off guard. The soldiers began to step forward and shouted in Indian language, prompting the surrender not to kill.
Of course, there were still people from the four tribes who resisted. The white people kept firing and killed the opponents who rushed up. The people from the Eagle Tribe took the rifle with bayonets and fought with the enemy in close combat as a spear. Although Xiao Lin was speechless, he could only let them choose the fighting method. Now he could also end it with melee combat, with sufficient food supply. The Eagle Tribe's puppet has become much stronger, and melee combat is not something these people can win.
Even if these Indians resisted tenaciously, they still could not avoid the fate of failure. The company soldiers had already controlled the situation and kept calling, and others knew that there would be a way out for surrender. Although this did not conform to their combat philosophy, no one wanted to die like this. At least, they had to try it, and maybe there was a glimmer of life. The four Indian tribes paid the price for their greed.
If they provoke people who should not be provoked, they can't blame Xiao Lin for stepping on them to take over. The battle ended completely at dawn the next day, and each company suppressed prisoners of at least 400 people and returned to the town. The fear of muskets made these people not resist for long. There were not many knights who were killed by the soldiers. The four tribes combined, there were 2,271 people. Xiao Lin could only imprison these people in the military camp, giving them only some food to starve them every day to prevent them from causing trouble.
The town completely stopped the construction of people's livelihood, and everyone's energy was spent preparing for war. Xiao Lin brought the four tribes to the interrogation room one by one for interrogation. They still wanted to resist, but Xiao Lin was the top ten torture people in the Qing Dynasty, and it was useless to use them, so he scared them and all the things were recruited. The people of the Adams family were still mobilizing troops and it would take ten days to arrive here.
At this time, Xiao Lin could already take a small truck and travel back and forth. Xiao Lin immediately took action, leaving the large truck he had brought here before, and quietly returned to the 21st century. Here, just one night passed, and it was only six in the morning the next day. At this time, Sorento had not woken up. Xiao Lin took the risk and quietly hid ten sets of 120mm mortars. The mortars made by these countries in the 1960s were still very well maintained, and one cannon was equipped with these thirty shells.
These mortars have a range of 1,700 meters, completely crushing the copper artillery that was equipped with front-mounted. With these mortars, he could ignore the artillery of the Adams family. This ambush was useless. He could not gamble that the enemy would be stupid enough to hit their ambush again. The town's current fortifications cannot withstand the shooting of artillery. However, how to secretly transport these artillery out, you need to plan carefully.
Sorento was handed over to Xiao Lin to find this warehouse. The reason why Xiao Lin found this warehouse is because there is a passage here that leads to the depth of an air-raid shelter dug during the Anti-Japanese War. This passage was dug out by Uncle Qu and his father. Back then, Xiao Lin's father was also a person who was unwilling to be lonely. He went out to start his own business with Uncle Qu, and they started by opening a hot pot restaurant.
The two of them succeeded, and at least they could make money. When Xiao Lin's father wanted to expand the scale, he encountered problems. The air inside the cave was too poor and the lines were aging and could not be used. Although both sides could be connected, they did not need so much money yet. Grandpa Xiao Lin did not pay money, and Xiao Lin's father was unwilling to be willing to dig for space at the beginning. Unexpectedly, he dug into someone's warehouse as he dug.
In order to prevent being discovered by others, they called the police to arrest them. The two quickly gambled the hole, and then honestly never dared to expand the scale again. Later, because of various things, both of them gave up the hot pot restaurant and returned to work in the factory. Not long ago, because the factory was doing well, Xiao Lin and his uncle Qu drank and celebrated. Uncle Qu got drunk and told Xiao Lin about this matter as a joke.
Xiao Lin hadn't noticed it before he finally thought about Sorento's affairs. He secretly tampered with it. The list of arms received by the Chinese Equipment Department and Sorento were not the same. He just wanted to see if he could hide a batch of arms into the air-raid shelter that had been sealed and then transported to another plane for his own use.
