1717 New American Empire

Chapter 273 The End of North American Dominance (3)

The cavalry was the absolute ruler of the battlefield in the cold weapon era. Every general who was good at using cavalry left a mark in history. Whether it was an infamy or a famous name, at least he left his name in history. The cavalry is officially

There are two main reasons for withdrawing from the war, the emergence of automatic fire weapons such as machine guns and the maturity of armored vehicle and tank technology. The cavalry has been able to dominate for thousands of years mainly because of its mobility. Without enough firepower to block it, once the cavalry charges

, infantry is difficult to contend with.

The Spanish Square Formation and Modao Battle Formation are effective strategies for infantry to defeat cavalry, but if you are not careful, cavalry will break through from the flanks and be defeated. The firepower network formed by machine guns is more effective against cavalry than these two battle formations.

The effect is greater. Cavalry armor,

Neither the medieval iron can equipment nor the breastplate on the back can stop machine gun bullets. But if the cavalry gets close, the machine gunners cannot escape the fate of being killed on the spot. This trouble does not last long. The real cavalry

The nemesis also appeared.

Really perfect tanks, such as the German Panzer II and Panzer III tanks, have a crushing advantage over cavalry. In terms of protection, the cavalry's armor is simply not as good as the tank armor of tens of millimeters and tens of millimeters. Armor of the same thickness

, only the most elite knights in the Middle Ages could equip it. The cavalry at that time had long abandoned this kind of heavy armor. In terms of mobility, tanks are not inferior to cavalry. As long as there are no accidents and there is enough fuel, tanks can

You can keep driving, and the soldiers inside consume less energy than the cavalry.

In terms of firepower, it is even more different. Unless they are specially required to carry it, the cavalry will not carry heavy machine guns and artillery. Without these things, they can only rely on carbines, sabers and light machine guns to fight the enemy. Tanks

, no matter what, there are more than two tank guns and machine gun weapons, and the same goes for armored vehicles. Therefore, tanks and armored vehicles have become the natural nemesis of the cavalry. This kind of restraint is vividly displayed in front of the Apache.

Apache has been observing the battle situation at the forward command post. This place is only 800 meters away from the frontline battlefield, just outside the range of the enemy's possible artillery. If the cavalry breaks through, it will not take long to rush here. Therefore, this is also

This inspired his soldiers to desperately block the enemy's cavalry. Behind him was the supreme commander of their battlefield, and no one dared to take it lightly. The tanks and armored vehicles rushed into the enemy's cavalry camp. Before the Apache saw the results of the battle,

Still very worried.

Comparing all the tanks, there are only more than 30 tanks in total, and the cavalry, after being blocked by machine gunners, still has nearly 30,000 in number. This is a ratio of a thousand to one, so Apache should not be worried. However, it turns out that he

There is no need to worry. Thirty chariots, in the cavalry

They ran rampant in the middle, using ten Type 59-1 tanks as arrows, crushing them all the way, and rushed directly into the center. The thickest frontal armor of the Type 59-1 tanks was 100mm, and the thinnest 60mm (specially installed) rear armor made them completely

Ignore the enemy cavalry attack.

No matter whether it is a spear, a tomahawk or a big stick, there will not even be a white mark on the tank when hit. As for the Type 59-1 tank, if it rubs against the enemy's cavalry, it will be disabled. If it hits directly, the cavalry will only be injured.

An ending, being crushed under the site and squeezed into a pile

Rotten meat. Even if they were not dead, after the White Tiger Type 1 tanks and armored vehicles followed them and ran over them, even the intact bodies could not be preserved. The cavalry were not frightened and still rushed towards the thirty-five tanks crazily. When people waited

The more people gather, the more fun it will be, with artillery and machine guns firing in unison.

Attracted by them, the cavalry no longer even attacked the soldiers' defensive lines. The artillery regiment began to change direction. The heavy howitzers and mountain artillery no longer bombarded the cavalry, but began to bombard the enemy's infantry. Only love remained.

Mortars and rapid-fire artillery were still assisting the tank troops in clearing the enemy cavalry. At this time, the soldiers of the three divisions had already suffered some casualties. The enemy's hunter troops of 50,000 people had already rushed up.

The most advanced warriors have entered their effective firing range.

The Indians mainly make a living by hunting, and there are not many places on the North American continent like prairie for grazing. It is not the North American continent that has been fully developed in the 21st century, but a North American continent that still retains a lot of its original features.

Therefore, in fact, every tribal warrior is a qualified archer and can use the homemade bows and arrows they make to obtain the necessary food every day. Their own quality is even comparable to the elite British longbowmen in the Middle Ages.

However, these weapons are too backward. The most powerful ones are the 3,000 compound bow sets sold by the company. These weapons are sold at ten times the cost price, and the profit is too great. The range is,

The accuracy and power were better than their home-made short bows, and even more powerful than the muskets sold to the Indians by some black-hearted arms dealers. However, it was still not in the eyes of the company soldiers. However, they did not expect that a quantitative change would actually occur.

Qualitative change.

There were 50,000 archers, and the arrows fired were overwhelming. The soldiers in the front row were all field divisions, and they were all equipped with helmets and company-owned steel plate body armor, plus many rubber bulletproof shields. It can be said that they were armed to the teeth.

.But in the overwhelming

In front of the arrows, there were still casualties. In order not to affect their actions, the soldiers did not wear body armor in many parts of their bodies, such as their limbs and throats. More than a thousand extremely unlucky soldiers were hit by arrows in these locations.

Well, the most unlucky ones are only over ninety.

These more than 90 people were shot in the throat, and it was difficult to rescue them. On the other hand, the other 900 people were shot through the arms and legs or scratched by arrows. According to the medical methods of the field division, there was no fear that their lives were in danger.

.Only a dozen people can be cured

They had no choice but to leave the main field division, injuring nerves and tendons. Fortunately, at this time, the artillery turned around in time. Because there was a huge number of ordinary infantry blocking the front, the rifles and machine guns in the hands of the soldiers could not hit them. At this time,

Can only rely on artillery.

The artillerymen are also a little tired, and the barrel of the mountain cannon is a bit hot. The heavy howitzer has not had any problems yet because its body craftsmanship is stronger. There is no shortage of artillery shells. Xiao Lin has spent a lot of money this time, and all ordinary explosive shells are open.

supply.

The company's arsenal has completed the imitation of explosive artillery shells of all calibers, and there are no production problems. The Apaches have sent logistics troops up just to deliver artillery shells to the artillery. There is really nothing the Indian soldiers can do about the artillery.

All the defense methods they knew could not withstand the artillery bombardment. The reason why they are still supporting here is because the command here, the chief of one of the three strongest tribes, told them about the actions of Coulson and others. Because

The sound of the artillery kept going, and the huge noise made them unaware that Colson and others had been almost wiped out. However, if this continued, they would not be able to hold on for long. The bombardment of heavy artillery was really too terrifying.

, no living thing can exist within a few tens of meters.

The real casualties were not many. Less than 10,000 people lost combat effectiveness in thirty minutes. But that kind of casualty ratio made everyone deeply despair. After fighting for so long, their casualties had reached 50,000, but

The opponent actually had less than 3,000 people who lost their combat effectiveness. If this continues, all of them will die, and the casualties will be less than half. The soldiers are not fools, they are just too passionate. Once the battle breaks out, their brains will be a little exhausted.

.

But now, their passion has been cooled by the blood of their companions. They can't help but start to reflect on whether it is a wise decision to be enemies of the company. Regardless of whether Xiao Lin is an Indian or not, at least he has really made a contribution to the Indian world.

, many Indians live a paradise-like life under the protection of the company. They have no shortage of food and clothing, can learn all kinds of knowledge, and have a variety of colorful entertainment lives. Many people have also become them.

The unconquerable warrior.

They clearly felt the power of the company on the battlefield. The most powerful weapons in their hands were actually sold by the company. Even the firearms smuggled by white people were not as useful as the cold weapons of the company. In fact, this was all

It's their illusion, because these people rarely come into contact with firearms, and instead use cold weapons since childhood. If we follow the game's routine, their firearms level may only be a few dozen or more, while the cold weapon level has never been lower than ninety.

Level, this is what the skill bonus feels like.

An hour later, the casualties of the Indians increased to 70,000, and then they began a great rout. Their ability to persist until now was due to their savage character. If it weren't for the bloody support, they should have escaped an hour ago

The Apaches sent the chariot troops back, replenished their ammunition, and began to pursue the enemy's remaining several thousand cavalry. Although they had made an oath, the Apaches could not guarantee that there would not be the kind of trash that goes back on their word among them. For the sake of the safety of civilians,

, the soldiers can only work harder.

The infantry began to build a defense line. It was enough not to allow large-scale enemy infantry to enter the rear. The defeated troops would not be pursued. Everyone was exhausted to the extreme, and there was no need to pursue the frightened enemies. At this time,

The best choice is to clean up the battlefield. There are too many corpses. If they are not buried or burned in time, a plague will definitely occur. Although the company has enough medicine, if this infectious disease can be prevented, the Apache does not want it to happen.

An accident occurred at this time.
