New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 267 The squad leader and the company commander said

"3...2...1...detonate!"

Staring at his watch, the leader of the demolition team heavily waved the small Sanchen flag in his hand.

More than a dozen members of the explosion team pressed the switches in their hands at the same time.

Because the battle line is too long, more connecting devices are needed.

This is a multi-pronged preparation to prevent accidents such as short circuits and breaks in wires, which may lead to failure of detonation.

Because the infantrymen of the leading line were fired upon by rotating machine guns, some of the soldiers had already chosen to retreat due to the heavy casualties.

But when the line of soldiers advances, there is not just one line, but four lines of their comrades behind them.

The soldiers in front retreated, which directly caused the formation of the entire army to become somewhat chaotic.

But those Canadian servants who were busy escaping for their lives didn't care what formation they were in.

His comrades fell around him one by one, and they fell in pieces like wheat, causing these people to collapse directly.

In fact, the rate of fire of the rotating machine gun is not very fast, only 400 rounds per minute, and the range is not far. In theory, it can shoot one thousand meters, but in fact it only takes three to four hundred meters to be lethal.

No matter how far away the bullet is, it won't know where it will fly. This is why every battle is fought closer.

Unlike the hand-operated Gatling guns in history, although the Xinming Empire's rotary machine guns were powered by batteries, the caliber of the bullets was also reduced in order to reduce weight.

This is the reason why the range is reduced. If the bullet caliber is increased, the logistics will be scolded, and the weight of the rotating machine gun will reach a level that makes it inconvenient for the members of the machine gun squad to carry it.

Stop suggesting that soldiers should carry out the charge. This is impossible. A rotating machine gun requires a machine gun squad of soldiers to serve it.

His comrades were killed quickly, which would make anyone's heart tremble if they saw it, so the collapse of the enemy's front line was not beyond Wang Chuan's expectation.

While the opponent was huddled together in a mess, light and heavy mortars also began precise shelling.

The tube-retractable Imperial 75 guns of the brigade's heavy artillery regiment also began to roar, but their target was the artillery position behind the line.

After the enemy begins to collapse and retreat in large areas, it is time for the pre-planted mines to show their power.

Those cavalry companies that ran fast were lucky, but those infantry who relied on two legs to run were unlucky. They were blown up in the minefield and howled like ghosts.

The preset battlefield that has been prepared for so long is no joke. If this were a purely wild battle, it might take a longer period of fighting to determine the winner.

But on this battlefield, the soldiers of the National Defense Force have only one purpose, and that is to kill the enemy as much as possible.

When fighting on the frontal battlefield, the snipers of the mountain troops also faced their own crisis.

A Canadian cavalry company of more than 600 people was charging towards their position.

"Squad leader Zhong will be left to you." The captain of the mountain unit sniper gave a military salute to the soldiers of the machine gun squad.

Then he turned around, got on his bicycle and led his team members towards the next sniper position.

Seeing that there were four or five times more cavalry than expected, squad leader Zhong ripped off his helmet and shouted:

"Brothers, are you afraid?"

"Squad leader, the company commander said that if anyone dares to fight without wearing a helmet, points will be deducted. You will deduct all the image points of our squad!"

A young soldier who was setting up a machine gun was hit by the squad leader's helmet and complained directly.

This sentence made Squad Leader Zhong, who was full of passion and emotion, choked to death, and said angrily:

"Young lady, that's nonsense. Hurry up and set up the machine gun. The cavalry will come up soon."

The little soldier kept moving his hands and said another sentence: "The company commander said, you are not allowed to curse!"

Squad Leader Zhong kicked the little soldier on the butt: "I'm still kicking you, mother-in-law."

After kicking, he picked up the helmet and put it on his head, and asked again: "What else did the company commander say?"

"The company commander said that our team is at the bottom again this time. If it continues to be like this next month, we will be asked to go to the logistics and transport bullets..." Gu

The little soldier answered Squad Leader Zhong's question honestly, making the other party's face darker and darker.

He shamelessly snatched this little soldier back from the company commander, and he valued this young man who had just graduated from the Royal Academy.

Not only did he give the other party the qualification to go to the company to learn advanced experience every time, but he also shamelessly asked the company commander for a new rotating machine gun.

But this guy is all good, but his brain is a bit unclear, and as the saying goes, he is a bit blunt.

"Squad leader, those cavalry are coming up, do you want to get closer and then fight?"

The little soldier loaded the rotating machine gun and asked.

"We are just a machine gun squad. If we get close enough to shoot special girls, won't they be cut into dumpling fillings?"

Squad Leader Zhong turned the adjustment knob a few times to lower the height of the machine gun. After hearing what the little soldier said, he cursed:

"If you get ink again, go away and throw grenades at those guys so I don't get upset when I see you."

The soldiers who were on guard at the parapet in front had dark lines on their faces. They looked at each other and whispered:

"Do you think that idiot is the monitor's illegitimate son? Why are you so nice to him?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Although you are stunned, our class's machine guns are the best maintained."

"Yes, if the class monitor hadn't always helped us fight for benefits, our class wouldn't have been ranked at the bottom time and time again."

Looking at his brand-new military uniform and the ammunition equipment that was twice as many as other teams, the soldier who just said nonsense blushed.

"You guys, stop nagging about my aunt, watch the side for me, don't let those cavalry stab me in the butt!"

Squad Leader Zhong's voice came from the machine gun position, and all the soldiers immediately closed their mouths and waited silently for the cavalry to approach.

Every sniper team will be followed by a rotating machine gun team responsible for cover. This time, Squad Leader Zhong and the team they followed had a very good performance in killing enemies, otherwise they would not be targeted by large groups of cavalry.

Just now, Squad Leader Zhong saw with his own eyes that the officer leading the cavalry was shot dead by a sniper.

"Old man, please don't let me off the hook this time..."

After underestimating in a low voice, Squad Leader Zhong squeezed the car brake to open fire.

The clicking sound of rotating machine guns started to sound, and several cavalrymen rushing in front fell directly onto their horses.

But the death of these few soldiers is nothing to the entire cavalry team. Those who should charge still charge.

But the test firing was followed immediately by strafing, and with a slight creaking sound coming from the bracket, the rotating machine gun was swung left and right by Squad Leader Zhong.

But the cavalry did not just take beatings without fighting back. Their short-barreled cavalry rifles also began to fight back, but the mini bullets they fired were all blocked by sandbags.

The first ammunition chain was quickly used up. The young soldier quickly replaced it with the second ammunition chain and said: "The company commander said, don't swing the machine gun so hard when shooting, as it will waste lubricating oil."

"Shut up for me, why don't you put your head down and raise it so high to get shot?"

Squad leader Zhong yelled and cursed skillfully, and then continued to go his own way and swing the rotating machine gun widely.

But something went wrong soon. For some unknown reason, the machine gun jammed.

After secretly cursing, Squad Leader Zhong grabbed the rifle beside him and started shooting. At the same time, the little soldier also started troubleshooting.

"It's too late for me. Next time you see the company commander, tell him that you are secretly smoking my cigarettes every day."

After finishing speaking, Squad Leader Zhong grabbed two grenades and threw them at the dozen cavalrymen who had already rushed to the horse trap...

Such things continued to happen on the sniper position, but in exchange for their sacrifice, the British soldiers collapsed and could no longer organize a systematic defense.

Because those officers who wanted to gather the remaining soldiers were all killed one by one, causing the enemy soldiers to lose opportunities to regroup again and again until they ran into the minefield.

"Order the second and third regiments to approach the first regiment and prepare to launch a charge!"

Wang Chuan looked at the Daiying soldiers who were surrounded by the dust raised by the mine explosion, and waved his fist excitedly.
