New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Are these Mexican soldiers here on vacation?"

Several National Defense Force scouts conducted a close observation near the Mexican camp.

Along the way, the sentinels sent out by Mexico were just like playing house.

That poorly concealed outpost could easily be spotted by Wehrmacht scouts from a mile away.

Because those guys actually lit a fire and prepared dinner while on guard duty.

This kind of lax defense once made the Wehrmacht soldiers think it was the opponent's cover-up, but after a detailed search, they found that this was not a conspiracy, and that the opponent's sentries were so incompetent.

In fact, it’s not the Mexican soldiers’ fault. They had been fighting within the country before.

Relying on the information provided by the farmers who support them in the territory, they can easily learn about the movements of the three armies.

Moreover, Mexico had only a few permanent troops in the past, and now a large part of these soldiers are newly recruited into the army.

With a military uniform and a gun, you are a soldier. How can the dirty and tiring work of sentry be the job of those veterans?

"Don't underestimate these people. Look at the trenches and wooden fences they have set up around the camp, as well as the guys digging traps. It seems they are going to fight a protracted war with us."

Another IDF reconnaissance soldier put down his binoculars and called his companions on guard to evacuate.

After arriving at a safe place, these scouts began to set up communication antennas and prepared to report the intelligence they discovered to the rear.

In order to cope with the border war, Sun Laifu temporarily set up a communication base station on the hillside.

Although the signal transmission distance of this kind of base station is relatively short, it is enough when used with the small base station carried by the scout.

After receiving the intelligence, the National Defense Forces took action.

The scouts cooperated with the special forces of the former mountain troops to clear outposts along the way one by one.

When the National Defense Forces approached the outside of the opponent's camp, they were inevitably discovered.

"Get ready to fight, the Orientals are coming..."

Following the sound of various sirens, the Mexican soldiers quickly hid in the dug trenches, exposing only their upper bodies and observing the National Defense Forces in the distance.

The artillery positions behind the defense line also began to get busy. Solid artillery shells were loaded into the Napoleon field guns copied and produced by Foxconn.

The Mexican soldiers stood ready and waited for the Eastern soldiers to line up in neat lines to attack their defense lines.

Unfortunately, the first thing they waited for was the constant screams in the air.

"What is that?" Seeing some black spots appearing in the sky, a Mexican soldier raised his head in shock.

"You idiot, hide quickly, this is a cannonball!"

A veteran who had participated in many attacks against the Nazi Army pulled the soldier down, and the two huddled into a trench that was not deep.

But their actions were doomed to be in vain. The field artillery installed by the National Defense Forces no longer only included 75mm rapid-fire cannons.

A large-caliber artillery shell landed directly one meter in front of the trench, followed by a huge explosion.

The two Mexican soldiers hiding in the trench opened their mouths and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cannonballs not only rely on explosion damage and shrapnel attacks, but also shock waves.

The internal organs of these two unlucky guys were directly shattered in the explosion just now. Before the dust after the explosion buried them, the two Mexican soldiers could no longer open their eyes.

In this attack, Sun Laifu also mobilized an experimental heavy artillery regiment. This heavy artillery regiment, equipped with twelve 105 mm caliber artillery, kicked off the attack.

In order to get these twelve big guys, which weighed an average of two tons, to the front line, a train was specially set aside for transportation.

But after arriving in the wild, transportation of this kind of artillery is still a problem. There are no roads for it to walk in the wild, and it can only be towed by horses.

Coupled with the transport vehicles equipped with new artillery shells, these twelve artillery pieces alone accounted for a lot of horse resources in the logistics.

The warhead of the new artillery shell is filled with explosives developed by a certain explosives engineer named Nobel.

This battlefield inspection is a preview for future updates of artillery shells.

"Captain, the division commander wants you to respond quickly!"

Just as the commander of the heavy artillery regiment was carrying the shells and loading them himself, shirtless, the correspondent brought him some not-so-good news.

Sure enough, when he called the division headquarters, Sun Laifu's roar came from the intercom.

"Did you teach me how to cum? Do you dare to start volleying directly?"

Listening to Sun Laifu's roar, the group leader scratched his head.

This heavy artillery regiment was formed by Sun Laifu who transferred people from the military academy. These student soldiers could always create some situations for Sun Laifu.

"After our rigorous calculations, the impact point of the artillery shells must be within the predetermined range, and firing a salvo from the beginning will make the opponent lose the opportunity to evade..."

The group leader weakly explained what he had just done.

"Young lady fart, why don't you roll over and see how many of your artillery shells landed in the trenches?"

Sun Laifu's voice continued to roar on the intercom.

The group leader asked the students to stop firing and began to call the observers in front.

Soon, the observer told him the shelling data just now.

Of the twelve artillery shells, only three hit the trench, and the rest were several hundred meters away from the intended position.

"It's impossible. How could this happen? I've obviously calculated it all..."

For the first time, there was unconfidence in the leader's tone.

In the end, it was the other artillery officers who were watching the battle who gave the answer.

"We don't have accurate distance data to the opponent. It's strange that you can calculate it accurately by relying on the approximate data given by the observer."

Observers give approximate distance data, and no one on the battlefield can use a ruler to measure it, so this is why this salvo is not ideal.

Seeing those artillerymen, who they regarded as half-baked and unprofessional artillerymen, relying on experience to carry out precise artillery fire, completely destroyed the arrogance of the student soldiers.

The shelling lasted for more than two hours, and the artillery positions of the National Defense Forces moved forward more than 3,000 meters during the shelling.

At this distance, not to mention the defensive line of Mexican soldiers, even the camp behind was covered by artillery fire.

So when the National Defense Forces soldiers stopped shelling and prepared to charge, a white flag was raised on the Mexican position.

Because the main Mexican army numbered more than 20,000, the camp was set up on a gentle slope.

Moreover, the artillery positions have been constructed and various defense facilities have begun to take shape.

Zaragoza's purpose is very clear, which is to fight a protracted war here.

As long as he waits until the British expeditionary fleet has the upper hand and the armies of various countries that set off with the fleet begin landing operations, he will be considered a victory.

At that time, the Orientals would definitely not have time to care about these "strong bones" who only defended in place.

"Now we only need to defend against a few attacks from the Oriental. After the Oriental shrinks its defense, we will move towards Los Angeles!"

Zaragoza's voice was full of confidence, and he had full confidence in the defensive battle.

"None of Na San's troops can shake our defenses, and the Easterners are even less able to shake our defenses. In the future, the entire Los Angeles, no, the Easterners call it Yingtian Mansion. In the future, Yingtian Mansion will become our territory again!"

Mexico has long been salivating over the wealth here in Yingtian Mansion. Those Mexicans who fled chose to come here to make a living just because they heard about what happened in Yingtian Mansion.

Zaragoza felt excited when he thought that the wealthy Yingtian Mansion might be controlled by him in the future.

When he was first sent here, he was still reluctant, but after learning about the situation in Yingtian Mansion, Zaragoza changed his mind.

After nearly three years of development, Yingtian Mansion has become one of the three most developed regions in the Xinming Empire.

The remaining two are San Francisco and Jinling, the capital of the Xinming Empire.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his impassioned speech, he was slapped hard in the face by the battle report sent back from the front line.

"You mean our forward camp has been pulled out?"

Zaragoza screamed in disbelief, and the two thousand forward troops were wiped out without even a splash.

It will feel incredible on anyone.
