New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Arcas, do you think those Easterners will take action?"

Seeing the Easterners on the opposite side starting to take aim with their guns more than 300 meters away, a miner asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, even if they want to hit us from such a long distance, they can't hit us. I guess they are demonstrating. We don't need to panic. As long as we show our tough stance, we can let those Easterners know our

sharp."

Arcas obviously saw the movements of the Easterners on the opposite side, but it was obviously difficult to hit them from such a distance.

What's more, those Easterners were just squatting behind the parapet and raising their guns. Judging from the protruding muzzles of their guns, they didn't appear to be in a dense formation.

With such sparse gunfire, in his mind he was inferior to those of the Mexican army.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but despise the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment even more.

Although he also saw the overwhelming artillery fire when the battle broke out in San Francisco, this only meant that the opponent had a lot of artillery.

The Oriental troops in front of them obviously did not have artillery, otherwise they would have been launched and aimed at them.

Of course, if the opponent really has artillery, he will not choose to hard-top.

No one is a fool. Arcas just wants to take this opportunity to show off his muscles to those Easterners, and then he will send someone to talk to them to stop them from taking their ideas.

He also knew about the $500 immigration issue some time ago, but he believed that with the unity of the miners, they should get more.

Five hundred dollars? Huh, double that would still be about the same.

This idea is not only felt by Arcas, but other miners also have similar ideas.

In this era, there are not many good people who dare to go out to pan for gold, otherwise even if they find gold, they will not have the chance to take it away.

You must know that when the pits dug by gold mining are backfilled, there are not only stones, but also countless bones.

So these miners stood there and laughed without fear, and some even took out cigarettes and held them in their mouths.

They, the members of the Miners' Union, not to mention those Easterners, even the big shots in Sacramento had to talk to them calmly when they saw it.

But what they didn't expect was that those Easterners really dared to shoot!

Following Liang Youwen's order, the soldiers of the third regiment behind the sandbags held their breath. After aligning the enemy's figure with the ruler, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Suddenly a burst of white smoke rose from behind the sandbags, and gunshots like fried beans rang out one after another.

After several improvements, the performance of the Xinming Empire Type 60 rifle has far exceeded that of before.

This era was limited by gunpowder, so the bullets were much larger than those of later generations. Of course, given the preference of Zhang Yu and others for high power, the power of rifles was not weak.

When a tapered round-headed lead bullet is fired into the human body, it will cause greater damage to the internal organs because the lead is relatively soft.

In human terms, if you are hit, you will be dead. This kind of natural dummy bullet is definitely the enemy's nightmare.

Soon the miners who gathered together were unlucky, being hit by lead bullets one after another and falling to the ground, and the Easterners on the opposite side continued to shoot as if they didn't need to stop to reload.

The sound of bullets passing by and the screams of their companions made the miners in the back row finally react.

The miner who expressed concern just now was also hit in the arm by a lead bullet, tearing off a large piece of his flesh.

The rifle in his hand also fell to the ground because he was hit in the arm. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a sharp pain. When he looked down, he saw that a lead bullet had penetrated the clothes around his waist.

his belly.

The moment he fell, Arcas's confident answer still echoed in his ears: "It's okay, those Easterners don't dare to shoot."

He only had time to curse that bastard Arcas a few times before his eyes quickly dimmed.

Arcas, who was cursed by him, was even worse than him. Three bullets hit him at the same time, one of which hit his head wearing a cowboy hat very accurately, sending him to see God on the spot.

At this time, the miners were in a panic. Some lowered their heads to find cover, while others stood still and fired back.

But the generational difference in weapons cannot be made up by courage alone.

Liang Youwen did not order the machine guns to fire. He obviously wanted the soldiers of the third regiment to adapt to the real battlefield atmosphere.

Liang Youwen did not order a ceasefire until there was no more enemy standing behind the fence in front.

New soldiers are new soldiers. After he gave the order, there were still many soldiers from the third regiment who continued to pull the bolt and pull the trigger without even noticing that there was no more bullets in the magazine.

These panicked recruits gradually calmed down after being kicked in the butt by their respective squad leaders, and then began to vomit violently.

Looking at those miserable soldiers, Liang Youwen ordered his squad and platoon leaders to remember the names of these people, and soon they would be tasked with cleaning up the battlefield.

At this time, in addition to those who were beaten to death in front of the fence, more of the miners ran back to the camp and hid.

It was impossible to kill all the enemies in just five or six minutes with rifles alone, unless the artillery and machine guns fired simultaneously.

However, for the purpose of military training, Liang Youwen still ordered the soldiers of the third regiment to reload their bullets and move forward.

Liang Youwen has his own ambition. He wants to train these new recruits into an iron army, an iron army that can serve as the main force, rather than a reserve regiment that has been hiding behind to maintain law and order.

So he decisively ordered the soldiers to form a skirmish formation and press toward the camp.

In addition to the low tents on the periphery of the camp, there are also many residences composed of caravans. Although they are simple, they are full of life.

After the soldiers of the third regiment approached the camp, they encountered a counterattack as expected.

Looking at the soldiers of the third regiment who were shooting at the miners, Liang Youwen was afraid that there would be deserters among these rookies.

You must know that if you escape during war, the commander has the right to order the deserter to be shot directly.

Fortunately, what he was most worried about didn't happen.

Although more than a dozen soldiers were lost, the miners' camp was quickly breached with the help of grenades and high-performance firearms.

There is nothing to describe next. It is nothing more than clearing out those who dare to resist and taking into custody the miners who have surrendered.

In this way, a not-so-fierce battle ended with the victory of the third regiment.

But the post-war report gave Liang Youwen some ideas, because the number of injured soldiers was over a hundred. Among them, sixteen were seriously injured and dying. What made him even more distressed was the number of soldiers who died, as many as twenty-three.

But the harvest is not without its success, that is, the surviving soldiers have lost their previous immaturity, and have an indescribable murderous aura in their bodies.

Looking at the National Defense Force soldiers covered with the Three-Chen Flag, Liang Youwen's eyes were full of complexity. But this is war.

After receiving the news that the miners had been successfully annihilated, Li Mingqi looked at the battle report sent back. He frowned at first, then sighed and said nothing more.

Although he didn't quite agree with Liang Youwen's approach, he also knew that this was the best way to train troops.

In the battle to attack the city of San Francisco, the number of soldiers killed in the Third Regiment was several times that of that time.

After resolving the last unstable factors in the port area, Li Mingqi began to prepare for the military parade and awards.

By the way, we also need to decide how to deal with those war criminals.
