1717 New American Empire

The Hessian mercenaries were indeed elite. They braved the fire of the escort and forcibly dragged out nearly fifty artillery pieces. Unfortunately, the eighteen-pound cannons were too heavy and there was no time to grab them. Nearly five hundred Hessian mercenaries

Go up there, but you can only drag it out

Three. The rest of the artillery, together with the Hessian mercenaries who came to drag them, were reduced to pieces. There was no way, the heavy punch II artillery did too much damage to these heavy artillery, and it was not that thick artillery at all.

The wall can withstand it.

The escort artillery finally discovered the enemy's artillery position, how could it only fire once? The heavy fist type 1 and heavy punch type 2 artillery continued to bombard the calculated position coordinates with solid bombs at the fastest speed, and the proficiency reached six

Ten attackers attack in one attack

The artillery was divided into four groups and began to carry out diffuse bombardment on the area around the site, in order to prevent people from rescuing the artillery and dragging it away. The first element in the training textbook of the escort artillery unit is to saturate the enemy when it is caught, and hit them all into pieces.

, kill them all and don’t let anyone escape.

The Hessian mercenaries dragged all the salvaged artillery pieces and ran frantically to the outside, trying to escape. However, under such intensity of bombardment, no horses could remain calm and kept neighing.

It's not impossible to move around and bring them to our own artillery. It's just that it takes three times as long as usual. At this time, they don't have time. They can only drag them by themselves.

The loud sound produced by artillery firing also attracted soldiers from both sides near the trenches. The British army had already heard that Yanhuang Trading Company had artillery with fast firing rate and powerful power, but they did not expect that the concentrated fire would be so powerful.

It will be so powerful that it can completely crush our own artillery. All armies that have seen the 18-pounder cannon will be overwhelmed by its power. But now they are beaten to pieces, and their morale will naturally plummet.

The British army was stunned. There were no soldiers in the convoy. Those guarding the first trench were all convoys whose assembly dates were more than half a year old and had experienced more than two regular battles. They had already played with infantry and artillery coordination.

When you are familiar with it, you have 100% confidence in your own cannon.

The bullets will not fall on themselves. Seeing the enemy stunned and fighter planes appearing, the commanders and fighters who have been personally trained by Xiao Lin will naturally not watch the opportunity pass. The loud charge horn sounded, and everyone left the trenches and began to launch

Countercharge.

When the British army reacted, the soldiers had already rushed to the effective shooting range. Before they could grab their muskets and take aim, the thirty ZB-26 light machine guns had already begun to show their power. Each light machine gun was equipped with two people, one

There are cushioning and heat-proof cloths on the shoulders, specially responsible for shooting and

The other one carried the gun, a Type 17 pistol with a butt attached, and fifteen light machine gun magazines inserted everywhere, and was responsible for guarding and changing magazines. The two of them came to the British Army 300

Meters away, it took only five seconds to set up the machine gun and start strafing the enemy group.

In order to prevent their rough version of infantry and artillery coordination tactics from endangering their own people, Samer divided tens of thousands of attacking troops into several large groups, and the soldiers were completely piled together. In this case, the light machine gun was simply

There is no need to aim accurately, just shoot wherever there are crowds of people. The only time the escort used powerful firepower like a rotating machine gun was when they resisted the combined forces of the Adams family and the Pandey family, and they didn't use it after that.

Therefore, not many people knew about this weapon with terrible firepower. These soldiers, who had not much contact with the Adams family and the Pandey family, naturally did not know anything. The most terrifying thing is the first time it appears. The British army watched helplessly.

Seeing a series of tongues of fire erupting from thirty strange-shaped weapons, people on my side kept falling down, and many people couldn't even scream. These militiamen who didn't have much culture and were a bit superstitious, all

Crazy.

"The devil's fire whip, these people have the devil's weapons, we are not fighting anyone!!!"

Shouts with this meaning kept ringing out on the battlefield. The morale of the militiamen suddenly dropped to the bottom. Even the Hessian mercenaries were not immune to some effects. There were also many farmers who could not survive, and they could not survive.

He is not a high-ranking intellectual, and naturally he is also superstitious. Samer's eyes were splitting, and he knew that these militiamen were unreliable, but he did not expect that they were such useless materials. Not only did they not exert any power, but they also affected the morale and morale of the Hessian mercenaries.

Combat maneuvers.

Fighting maneuvers is also a nicer term. In fact, it is because the militiamen are running around and rushing, leaving the Hessian mercenaries with no place to hide. Today's battle can no longer be fought, and Samer suddenly

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't find a way to withdraw the troops, so he had an idea and thought of the flag bearers set up for the coordinated tactics of infantry and artillery. He quickly asked the flag bearers to pass the order to have the troops withdraw into the woods and stop fighting today.

Naturally, the escort soldiers would not let them go just like that. Samer never expected the militiamen to rear up and block the enemy. If he really wanted to force them to do so, not only would they not be able to complete the task, but the number of casualties would be too high. Those militia generals,

He didn't know how to arrange him. He was not afraid of the arrangement, but he was afraid that these people would affect the people below and cause his orders to lose effectiveness. Therefore, he had no choice but to let the Hessian mercenaries take the rear.

When the militiamen received the order to retreat, they were naturally overjoyed. They all ran so fast that they almost caught up with the horses running at full speed. On each battlefield, there were only a thousand Hessian mercenaries defending the rear. Focus on the points.

According to the words of the battalion commanders of each convoy combat battalion, they themselves can't even eat enough. What's more, there are three battalions and a thousand convoy soldiers. The heavy machine guns cannot be mobilized for the time being, but the Raider-1 mortar can

Can.

The three people easily transported the mortars and ten rounds of artillery shells. After a burst of artillery fire, the Hessian mercenaries who had gathered at the rear almost disappeared. The tight blocking line was suddenly broken, and they were still lying on the ground and shooting.

The convoy soldiers immediately stood up and launched a charge. The light machine gunner lifted the handle with one hand and hugged the body of the gun. With the other hand, he held the handle of the gun. He put his hand next to the trigger and charged with the light machine gun.

As soon as he found more than three Hessian mercenaries gathered together, the light machine gunners rushed over and fired, killing at least three-fifths of them. Then ordinary soldiers came forward with Yanhuang Type 1 rifles and shot them down.

The firepower of the machine gun is so fierce that even the Type 56 submachine gun is a little worse than it. Before the fifteen magazines are empty, the Hessian mercenaries who don't even have bolt-action rifles have nothing at all.

way.

A thousand people were defeated in just ten minutes. Fortunately, at this time, most of the militiamen who could run faster than rabbits had already entered the forest. Under the command of the commander, they began to rely on the people in the woods.

Trees, grass and rocks were used to build blocking positions. At this time, no matter how selfish the militia general was, he knew that if he could not block the pursuers, it would develop into a great rout. At that time, let alone preserving strength, it was still a question of whether he could survive.

uncertain.

The soldiers chased the Hessian mercenaries at the rear into the woods, and heard the sound of intensive musket fire. They lay down as a reflex, but fortunately they did not cause many casualties. The machine gunners were gathered together, and they fired their front-loaded muskets.

They fired wherever the smoke caused by the gun hit. At this rate, the fifteen magazines could not be carried at all, and after a while, the last few magazines were empty. At this time, Xiao Lin's order also arrived.

The main purpose of this war is to defend the three newly built towns. Even if the enemy fails in the first attack, they still retain most of their combat effectiveness. Now is not the time for a decisive battle. It is a very risky behavior for the escort to pursue them into the woods.

If they were ambushed by the enemy, the gains would outweigh the losses. Xiao Lin received the report from the front line and quickly ordered everyone to withdraw from the woods and return to the trenches.

The light machine guns used their last magazines to cover the retreat of the ordinary infantry. Some anxious militiamen wanted to chase and shoot, but they were all blasted out by the machine guns. They were so frightened that everyone did not dare to move and watched helplessly.

The convoy soldiers withdrew safely. Then, they became sluggish. After today's failure, these people had no morale to continue the attack at night. Xiao Lin moved forward and backward, and began to replace people.

Half of the guards who were in poor condition began to retreat, and the replacements were all recruits who had been trained for three months. The recruits couldn't be recruits forever, Xiao Lin felt that they must be allowed to see blood. First

The enemy's morale has been broken. The pressure in the next few days should not be too great, just enough for the new recruits to experience. Xiao Lin knows that the new recruits will definitely be injured when they go up, but this is the case for every strong army.

Even though he had practiced it, there was nothing he could do.

Each battalion's ten light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, and the scattered Raider-type mortars naturally stayed in the forward position. Xiao Lin let the new recruits practice rather than let them die, so naturally he didn't

He would be careless. Then, he would not care about it.

Xiao Lin still didn't know that a new logistics supply team had left the gate of the company's first town and started to rush here. Among them, there was one that gave him a huge headache

Man, came against his orders.

This person is naturally Ye Qianqian. Ye Qianqian is also a fan of military affairs. If she were a woman and her family had given repeated orders, she might have followed Xiao Lin to join the army. Although she knew that she was not capable enough, she did not force Xiao Lin to transfer her to the army.

What kind of commander? But Ye Qianqian has never given up the idea of ​​going to the battlefield. Ye Qianqian believes that the white army, whose weapons and companies are two hundred years old, cannot pose any threat to her.
