Under the cover of tanks, National Guard troops once again entered the city.

After advancing for a while, one of the teams saw two bombed military trucks in front of them. The soldiers in the trucks had been burned to ashes. Several corpses were lying around the jeep not far away. These people After being beaten into a sieve, those who died could no longer die.

"These bastards!" Seeing the miserable situation of their comrades, the soldiers gritted their teeth with hatred. The captain leading the team grabbed a handful of shell casings from the ground, all 43mm bullet casings. "It looks like it's a Thompson submachine gun, these damn thugs! Where did they get so many Thompson submachine guns?" As mentioned before, the Thompson submachine gun is deeply loved by American gangsters, and is naturally hated by ordinary people. Faced with constant complaints and protests from the intolerable public, the U.S. Congress passed the National Firearms Control Act in 1934, which required every firearm to be registered and gun owners to undergo approval and pay a $200 transfer tax. In fact, this bill targets lethal weapons like the Thompson. Therefore, after the introduction of this bill, the sales of Thompson submachine guns to the private market almost completely stopped. Judging from the shell casings scattered on the ground, at least four or five submachine guns were firing at the same time. And the attack didn't just happen in this place, which meant that these thugs had at least 100 submachine guns, which was not a small number. He felt that the riot was either planned for a long time or controlled by some force behind it.

However, these issues are not something that this little captain should consider. His current task is to exterminate these thugs. "Move these corpses." The streets are not very wide. If these corpses are not moved, they will definitely be crushed by the tank tracks.

Several soldiers stepped forward to move the entity away, but as soon as they lifted up one of the corpses, Gulu, several grenades rolled out from under the corpse. They were MARK II grenades commonly equipped by the US military. The killing radius of this grenade is 5-10 meters, but the shrapnel can kill up to 50 meters. Since the recognized throwing distance is mostly 35-40 meters, soldiers are required to lie down after dropping the bomb until the grenade explodes.

And now there were six or seven grenades rolling out from under the corpse, exploding with a bang. The soldiers who lifted the corpse were instantly blown to pieces before they could react. The shock wave carried fragments and swept across the surroundings. The fragments hit the armor of the tank not far away and made a clanging sound. Before the commander who had half stretched out the tank had time to retract, he felt a pain in his chest, and a fragment penetrated deeply. It penetrated deeply into his left chest, and he fell down helplessly.

"Oh God!" The captain and the other soldiers, who were lucky enough to escape the fragmentation attack, were stunned to see the bloody and bloody scene in front of them. Although they had received the same training as the army, after all, they had never been on the battlefield and had never encountered such a tragic scene. Many of them even vomited on the spot.

After a while, the captain regained his composure and asked the radio operator in the tank to notify the headquarters. "Command, command, we were ambushed. These thugs laid booby traps under the corpses. We suffered heavy casualties!"

"What?!" The commander was shocked. How could these be thugs? This was clearly a regular army fighting!

Just as he was about to tell other teams not to move the bodies at will, news came one after another that each team encountered booby traps, and the number of casualties exceeded 100 in just an instant.

The soldiers did not dare to move and looked around vigilantly. They saw many black people in buildings far and near stretching out their hands from the windows and making quite indecent gestures towards them.

"These damn niggas!"

As early as 1619, when the first batch of black slaves were sold into the North American continent, racial discrimination against black people appeared in American society. Although slavery was abolished during the Civil War, many southern states still wanted to retain it. Until Lincoln abolished slavery, white Americans could only continue black slavery in the form of black apartheid policies, making black people understand that they were inferior. By the eve of World War I, racial discrimination against black Americans by white Americans had penetrated into every corner of American society, whether in churches, schools, libraries, public transportation, waiting rooms, phone booths, theaters, restaurants, parks, marriages, housing and other social life areas. Apartheid policies that discriminate against black people are implemented in all aspects.

Even in the military, this kind of discrimination has not disappeared. The history of blacks joining the U.S. military can be traced back to the Revolutionary War. It was not until the American Civil War that advertised the "liberation of black slaves" that the U.S. Army officially formed African-American troops. However, it adhered to the apartheid policy. Blacks and whites were organized separately, and were led by white officers. In command, the treatment of black soldiers was much lower than that of white soldiers and they were highly discriminated against. This situation did not change much until World War II. Very few black people can enroll in the non-commissioned officer school, so even if they serve as soldiers, they cannot become officers. Moreover, the training programs for black people are usually at least one-third less than those for white people, so when they arrive in the army, these people are just cannon fodder, or do things that white people are not willing to do. For example, chefs, logistics managers, handymen, etc.

Before World War II, there were only four regiments of African-American troops in the U.S. Army, namely the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments and the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments, with a total number of less than 5,000. There are also African-American troops in the National Guard of each state, and their designations have the suffix Colored to indicate people of color. In October 1940, Benjamin Oliver Davis was promoted to brigadier general, becoming the first African-American general in U.S. military history. Until the end of World War II, he was also the only black general. His duty was to assist the top leaders of the U.S. military in leading African-American troops. Once, when Davis was still a colonel, he met several white soldiers on the road, but the soldiers passed him by with a blind eye, without even looking at him, let alone the due military salute. If the officers are like this, it is even more conceivable that the army is generally resistant to black soldiers.

This riot was started by these black men, causing heavy casualties to their comrades. Now seeing the provocation of these guys without knowing whether to live or die, many soldiers gritted their teeth and clenched the rifles in their hands, and one of the soldiers even raised his hand. The Springfield rifle was fired at the building not far away.

boom!

The bullet hit the wall next to one of the windows, scaring several black people who were watching and hid in the house.

the captain shouted angrily. "Damn it! Smith, what are you doing, you bastard! Put down your gun!!"

The soldier named Smith said angrily. "Didn't you see they challenged us?"

"I'm not shooting at you..." Before he could finish his words, Smith suddenly staggered back a few steps, looked down at his chest that was gradually stained red with difficulty, and fell on his back with a thud.

"Enemy attack!"
