New Ming Empire mixed in America

Standing in the distance and looking at the burning residential area and the grassland and stables near the White House, Lin's face looked very ugly.

At this time, the city's mounted police officers had already rushed to the scene of the incident and began to maintain order.

The militiamen have also been organized and rushed to the White House with their own weapons to gather.

Some readers may think that militiamen are unprofessional or have poor combat effectiveness when they see them.

But these American militiamen had a professional name in later generations, called the National Guard.

"Can the artillery hit those big balloons?"

Seeing that the militiamen had brought artillery, Lin directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I don't know, no one has ever experimented with using artillery to fire into the sky."

In response to the president's question, the militia commander answered very frankly:

"But I suggest that the muzzle of the artillery should be pointed in the direction where there are few residents."

After speaking, the commander pointed to the location of the civilian area where houses were densely packed together.

Lin looked at the direction of the militia commander's finger, then glanced at the bustling neighborhood behind, and finally nodded.

Because he knows that civilians can only bring him votes, and he doesn’t know yet whether he will be the next president.

But if the bombs were to hit the homes of wealthy people, then he could be sure that the next president would have no part in it.

Seeing the president's nod, the militia commander began to ask the militiamen to set up artillery.

Others formed a group and began to disperse and run towards the middle-class houses. They wanted to shoot at the airships in the sky from the rooftops of these people.

In this way, even if the airship cannot be hit, it can subconsciously keep the airship away from the streets where these rich people are located.

Is this a black heart?

No, this is called being politically minded.

At that time, newspapers will only report on his efforts to protect Washington residents from attacks, and there will be no reports that only protect the wealthy.

Even if he did show up, he could use the excuse that the houses in the civilian area were shorter.

Because this is the truth. How to shoot a big balloon in the sky without standing at a higher place?

After dozens of minutes, the artillery was finally erected and tilted slightly toward the civilian area.

Originally, they wanted to move the artillery to the roofs of other people's houses, but the housekeepers of those villas directly rejected the proposal.

Are you kidding? What if the artillery crushes the precious roof of my house?

Looking at the organized defense below, the airship observer shook his head and asked loudly: "Can we attack? I see that the people below have begun not to welcome us!"

"Wait a minute, wait until this burst of air passes, otherwise the falling incendiary bombs will be blown to who knows where."

The members of the pilot team took a moment to shout out that they were the busiest people on the airship now.

Not only should you always pay attention to the condition of the engine, but you should also watch the swing range of the wind measuring balloon outside the airship.

After another ten minutes, the slight shaking of the airship finally disappeared and it floated steadily at the predetermined position.

"Brothers, remember the words of Yuan Yuan Li, our today will be recorded in the annals of history!"

A member of the bombing team was from the Umbrella Youth League. After receiving the order to drop the bomb, he shouted to the white and yellow members of his bombing team.

Suddenly, two voices shouting long live sounded from the pod where the bombing team was:

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live President Li!"

Then, the members of the bombing team began to drop the barrel bombs equipped with delayed detonation devices one by one.

Suddenly, nearly a hundred white umbrellas appeared densely in the sky, and those with good eyesight could vaguely see the Sanchen flag printed on these white umbrellas.

"Shoot, shoot!"

On the ground, following the command from the gun crew leader, all the artillery fired at the positions just adjusted.

At this time, the artillery commander was very lucky that the large balloons did not move while they were debugging, otherwise they would have no chance to aim.

At this time, the auxiliary hoes on the gun mounts had been removed from these artillery. After padding the wheels of the gun mount with sandbags, the loaded artillery was erected.

The recoil after firing caused the gun mount to shake violently. The wooden frame temporarily used to fix the gun barrel broke instantly, and the gun hit the groove on the gun mount hard and bounced several times.

Five of the six artillery pieces were fired without any danger, and only one of the artillery pieces broke free from the sandbags used for fixing the wheels during the vibration just now.

The recoil after firing knocked out the two militiamen who were preparing to clean the barrel of the gun.

The six solid shells flew quickly towards the airship, but as the altitude continued to increase, the flying speed of the shells became slower and slower.

Finally, it paused briefly at a height of more than 100 meters away from the airship, and then fell back to the ground.

The speed easily exceeded the barrel bomb swinging in the air, and it hit the residential area heavily.

Accompanied by screams, the roofs of several houses were instantly penetrated, and then the shells bounced off the ground, smashed through the outer walls and flew into the street.

Finally, it broke two big trees beside the street and stopped. At this time, the surface of the solid bullet was already bright red.

In addition to the sound of artillery, gunshots also rang out from the rooftops in wealthy areas.

But it had no effect except that the white smoke after the shooting blocked the soldiers' sight.

After seeing the failure of the artillery attack and the white umbrellas appearing in the sky, Lin's face turned pale.

The fairest thing to say is the bombs dropped from the Xinming Empire's airships.

They don't care if the people below are rich or not, everyone has the same chance of being covered.

"Wilt, stop attacking those big balloons and shoot at those white umbrellas in the sky!"

On the roof of a three-story villa, six soldiers were shooting into the sky.

One of the soldiers patted his companion on the shoulder and pointed to the barrel bombs that were slowly falling in the air.

After hearing the good advice from their companions, all the militiamen set their shooting targets on the white umbrellas that had reached a position of more than 20 meters above their heads.

Accompanied by six gunshots, the white parachute in the sky was hit by Wilt, who was very accurate with his marksmanship. His shooting accidentally broke a fixed rope, causing the parachute to be blown into pieces by the wind in the air.

shape.

But before the militiamen could cheer, the barrel bomb that had been slow just now crashed down.

The huge force penetrated the roof of the villa, and also smashed the floor of the attic. It fell into the male owner's study, shocking the male owner standing in front of the window.

Looking at the large iron bucket that smashed into the wooden floor of the study room and got stuck, the male owner's pupils shrank violently.

Not only the sudden appearance of the big guy, but also the half of the thigh stuck to the iron tube was also the reason why the male host was frightened.

Then, half of the body of a militiaman fell from the hole in the ceiling of the study. This was the unlucky guy who had just been hit by the barrel bomb.

After a quick glance, the male host finally fainted from the fright of the half-body body that fell on the desk in front of him.

But this can be regarded as making him less painful before dying.

With a huge explosion, the delayed detonation device of the barrel bomb stuck in the floor finally came into effect.

The location with the red number 104 suddenly shattered, and a large ball of flames and black smoke filled the study and the living room below the study.

Soon, the villa began to burn violently. The sudden flames made the soldiers on the roof, who were still immersed in the atmosphere of their comrades being smashed to death, despair.

There is at least ten meters from the ground here, especially the guy who ran to the closet chimney, which is even higher than the ground.

Looking at the surrounding flames spraying out from the windows, these soldiers screamed in despair and jumped down with their eyes closed.

Unfortunately, there were more flames on the ground. One soldier who was lucky enough not to be killed was rolling and struggling on the ground covered in flames.

But all this is in vain, the flame that cannot be extinguished by water cannot be extinguished by just turning over.
