New Ming Empire mixed in America

The rain of fire gradually fell, igniting tents and various flammable items in the Mexican camp.

Soon, Zaragoza had to order the soldiers to give up shooting at the monster in the sky and leave the camp.

He was afraid that the other party would attack again like before. The scene of the sky filled with fire and rain was really unforgettable.

No one cared about the tents and supplies that were set ablaze by the rain of fire in the camp. Only dozens of Mexican soldiers hiding within the rain of fire ran out of their hiding places with their bodies covered in flames and began to struggle and howl on the ground.

.

"This is a devil's trick. Those Orientals are indeed devils as the newspapers say!"

Several officers who followed Zaragoza out of the camp looked at the burning corner of the camp and were very afraid of things flying in the sky like the Xinming Empire.

At this time, the airship slowly began to descend. When it reached an altitude of three hundred meters, the machine gun installed under the airship's pod began to fire.

Some Mexican soldiers who tried to put out the fire were mowed down by machine guns, leaving the remaining soldiers who wanted to put out the fire hesitant to continue taking action.

Although the scene created by the airship just now was spectacular, the actual effect was not satisfactory.

In particular, the damage directly caused to enemy soldiers is limited. Most of the soldiers who were burned to death were hiding in the camp. They were burned to death after their hiding places were set on fire and they could not escape.

After a few rounds of strafing, the airship resumed its flight back with several bullet holes pierced by bullets from Mexican soldiers.

The experimental data has been collected, so their task is considered completed.

After returning, in addition to repairing the airship, the rest is waiting for the Royal Research Institute to improve the bomb.

The departure of the airship did not stop the National Defense Force's general offensive plan, but just now the airship dropped behind the enemy and set fire to the camp, which still caused a commotion among the Mexican soldiers on the front line.

Because smoke rose over the camp due to the fire, the soldiers on the front line thought that their camp had been destroyed, so the resistance was no longer as intense as it was at the beginning.

"Captain, do you want to charge?" Xiao Song was lying in the trench holding a grassroots in his mouth, looking at the defense line of the regiment next door with envy in his eyes.

"What the hell, it's not time for the general attack yet." Ding Yi was lying in the trench boredly at this time, observing the enemy's movements.

After noticing that Xiao Song looked at the 301st Regiment nearby with an envious expression, he slapped the opponent on the back of the head.

"The 301st Regiment was testing the firepower. Didn't you see them rushing out five or six meters before lying down, and then retreating when the shelling was over?"

The 301st Regiment is a regiment of the Third Brigade, and the regiment Ding Yi is in charge of is the 303rd Regiment, which is the third regiment of the Third Brigade.

This was because when he was blocking the British expeditionary force near Oregon last time, he happened to make some Versailles speech to boost morale.

He fought bravely, so after the war he was transferred from the Second Brigade to the Third Brigade as the regimental commander.

It turns out that the leader of this regiment has gone to the military academy for further training. After the training is completed, the National Defense Force will expand.

After Ding Yi finished speaking, sure enough, after a burst of artillery fire, the soldiers of the 301st Regiment retreated into the trenches again.

"Captain Ding, the brigade commander has ordered that after two rounds of artillery preparations, your regiment will participate in the first wave of charges!"

The voice from the walkie-talkie shocked Ding Yi, and he immediately replied: "The 303rd Regiment received it, we promise to complete the mission!"

After he finished speaking, he gave Xiao Song, who was still envious of his comrades, another tap on the back of his head and ordered: "Don't stay here, go and see if the shotgun company is ready. You will lead them to clean up the Mexican soldiers later."

trenches. Remember, don’t lose them to me.”

Xiao Song agreed excitedly, and then happily ran towards the company equipped with shotguns.

"What a fool. If placed on the battlefield of the Qing Dynasty, such a person would not survive more than half a month."

Shaking his head, Ding Yi couldn't help but mutter.

This time not only his 303rd Regiment participated in the first wave of attack, but also the 302nd Regiment and the 102nd Regiment.

The shotgun company that Xiao Song will lead will rush to the front with other companies equipped with shotguns.

That's why Ding Yi said that Xiao Song was a fool. After going to the battlefield, he always liked to rush to the front line and refused to let him follow him as the commander of the guard company.

It took half an hour to prepare a round of artillery, so Ding Yi's troops still had enough time to make final adjustments.

"Captain, do you think that thing that flew away just now gave those Mexicans a hard blow in the back?"

Xiao Song pulled his shotgun down to the most convenient position for launching an attack, and then asked Ding Yi, who came over to check on the soldiers.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Have you forgotten the confidentiality regulations?"

Ding Yi replied angrily, and the idiot didn't think about it carefully. The two of them had been on the front line almost since they entered the battlefield. Where did Ding Yi know the things he asked about?

Besides, as the leader of the group, he was not qualified to comment on such an issue related to the entire battle situation during the meeting.

Those are things that the brigade commander should consider. The regiment commanders like them only need to be responsible for executing the above combat plan.

However, Xiao Song's words also reminded him. He used a telescope to look at the black smoke rising behind the Mexican defense line. Ding Yi felt that Xiao Song's analysis was spot on.

"Isn't this just a casual chat? If you put it out for us to see, then it will definitely be equipped to the Guards after the battle."

Xiao Song looked unconcerned. He was a little stunned, but that didn't mean he was stupid.

The Guards are now fully equipped with new weapons using smokeless gunpowder, and more experimental weapons have appeared in the Guards.

Therefore, it is a well-known fact that new weapons are to be equipped with the Guards and then equipped to the National Defense Forces after the performance of the weapons is confirmed.

Nowadays, some officers of the National Defense Force are complaining about the fact that the Guards rarely go to the battlefield but have very advanced weapons.

But it was just a few complaints in private. Everyone knows what kind of army the Imperial Guard is, and it should be equipped with new weapons.

Li Mingqi didn't want to hide it, he just wanted to distinguish the Imperial Guards from the National Defense Forces.

And after the army expands in the future, he also plans to organize the National Defense Force into military regions, so that each military region will have its own defense zone.

"Isn't it appropriate to equip it to the Guards? If you don't equip it to them, why don't you just equip it to our National Defense Force?"

Ding Yi said angrily: "In the future, you should stop following those people under your command. The Imperial Guard is the Imperial Guard, but to protect His Majesty, shouldn't you use the best weapons?"

"Besides, aren't our weapons good now?"

Speaking of this, Ding Yi patted the shotgun hanging on Xiao Song's chest and continued: "This kind of weapon is a top weapon in other countries. If it were placed in the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty, you probably haven't even heard of it.

!”

As he spoke, the artillery on the artillery position began roaring again.

Preparations for the second round of artillery have begun. When the bombardment is over, it will be time for them to launch the attack.

After looking at the time, Ding Yi said: "Check the equipment. There is still the last half hour. When the artillery stops, let me launch an attack. Don't embarrass our 303 regiment, you know?"

Xiao Song was scolded by his team leader just now but didn't get angry. He patted his chest heartlessly and said:

"Captain, don't worry, we will definitely rush faster than the 302 regiment. During the division competition, our regiment was the armed cross-country champion!"
