Wild North America 1846

The distance between the Datang Empire's armored convoy and the Dutch cavalry that were charging head-on quickly shortened. When they approached within a thousand meters, the Dutch cavalry regiment began to sprint at full speed.

On the other hand, the more than 20 Gray Wolf armored heavy machine gun vehicles rushing on the first line began to slow down and formed a "one" horizontal formation. The cross-country speed quickly dropped from 23 kilometers per hour to 5 to 6 kilometers per hour.

This speed is almost the speed of ordinary people walking quickly, or the speed of trotting in the morning.

The commander of the armored convoy raised the red flag in his hand and waved it left and right to indicate that all members were in combat mode.

The ammunition feeders on both sides of the heavy machine gun held the support legs firmly, and the heavy machine gunner sitting behind pointed the gun at the Dutch cavalry with an indifferent expression.

Through the gap between the steel heavy machine gun shields, they could clearly see the excited faces of the shouting Dutch cavalry, as well as the shining sabers waving in their hands.

When the distance between the two sides quickly approached within 300 meters, the commander gave an order, and the advancing armored heavy machine gun vehicles stopped one after another, and then there was a mind-numbing shooting sound of "ta da da... da da da da..."

spread out.

The distance is too close and the target is too big, it is difficult to miss.

The 22 armored heavy machine gun trucks at the front were spitting out fierce tongues of fire, as if 22 flaming scythes of the god of death were lashing out. They would be injured if they were rubbed, and they would be killed if they touched them.

The charging Dutch cavalry seemed to have been punched head-on by an invisible giant hand. They rolled and fell at high speed, and kept rolling with the huge inertial force.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose, and the terrifying sound of heavy gunshots accompanied by screams filled the air, making people feel chilled in their hearts.

The bullets of the heavy machine gun were so lethal that they hit the Dutch cavalry regiment head-on with a wall of blood mist. This was a wall of blood mist of death. The Dutch cavalry rushed in and were either dead or alive.

It seems that there is still more to be desired

The numbing heavy machine gun fire lasted only 4 to 5 minutes. The armored vehicle commander waved the green flag and shouted "ceasefire", and there was a moment of silence on the battlefield.

However, fear spread among the Dutch troops and soon reached a critical point...

The smoke and dust swept away by the cavalry charge dissipated, and in front of them was a tragic scene of one-sided massacre.

The corpses of 1,109 Dutch cavalrymen and their horses were scattered in a long strip area of ​​less than 1.2 square kilometers. The closer they got to the armored convoy, the more corpses piled up.

Broken limbs and arms broken by heavy machine guns covered the field, and the strong smell of blood filled the air. Under the brighter morning sun, they looked particularly tragic and helpless.

looking at all this

The officers and soldiers who were still on the second-line defensive position of the Dutch army under artillery fire were gripped by huge fear in their bodies and minds, and their collapse threshold instantly exceeded the critical point.

The bullets fired at the armored vehicle scratched out a long line of dazzling sparks, or simply exploded, unable to cause any harm to the steel monster at all. The bullets hit the body as if it were scratching an itch.

Especially when the Dutch officers and soldiers saw that the armored convoy, which symbolized death, started again, split into two and rushed towards the second and third lines of the Dutch army...

Screams of despair arose one after another, and as expected, the Dutch army collapsed across the board, including the third-line Dutch army positions.

The frightened Dutch soldiers didn't know where this invulnerable iron guy came from?

It looks like a devil's chariot from hell. The tongues of fire spitting out from the heavy machine gun are like a flaming sickle from hell harvesting human lives.

It was so scary that everyone wanted to get away from this gray-black armored vehicle that exuded a strong smell of death and flee far away.

this time

The cruel and inhumane war supervision mechanism of the European army did not have the slightest effect. The second-line and third-line parapet defense positions collapsed at the same time. The terrified Dutch soldiers ran away, just like a dam bursting, and everything went into chaos in the blink of an eye.

The tracked armored vehicle landed on the world battlefield for the first time, and won a lot of applause when it appeared again, achieving a huge victory that is difficult to replicate.

The remaining 50,000 Dutch troops fled across the board. The officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Royal Guards, who had already approached within 700 meters, immediately accelerated their pursuit and covered them up like a wave...

The follow-up troops of the armored division led by Brigadier General Li Yi of the Tang Dynasty also joined the battlefield. Large transport trucks carrying soldiers followed closely behind the armored convoy, chasing the soldiers of the Dutch army who fled across the mountains and plains.

in chaos

It can be clearly seen that a platoon of 2 to 3 armored vehicles was used as a unit to cooperate with the infantry to carry out efficient encirclement and suppression, and achieved huge results.

Wherever the Dutch commanders tried their best to gather forces and organize their forces to launch constant resistance, they were all targeted.

The armored vehicle rushed over, fired several rounds, and then the heavy machine gun fired at the plowed field in turn. After a while, the newly united Dutch soldiers collapsed again.

Looking up, the Dutch people fleeing all over the mountains and plains only regretted that their parents had lost two legs. They were really scared to death.

The army is defeated like a mountain, and even the gods can't save it.

Upper Indragili County is located in the central region of Sumatra. The area is flat and vast with few hilly highlands. It is a traditional farming and pastoral area on the island, and farming has a history of more than a thousand years.

To the north is Lower Indragili District, which is adjacent to the Strait of Malacca. It is hilly and low-mountainous, facing Singapore and the Malay Peninsula on the opposite side.

To the south of Upper Indragiri County is West Sumatra Province. This province has large forests and rolling mountains with an altitude of 1,200 to 2,600 meters. There are countless undeveloped lands. Due to limited transportation conditions, it is a typical backward area. The geographical location

On the verge of the vast Western Pacific.

Such geographical conditions determined that launching a large-scale attack from the Upper Indragili area would be relatively beneficial to the empire's large corps, and the Dutch army would be more difficult to defend.

In the vast fields of Upper Indragiri

The defeated Dutch troops were running everywhere, and behind them were the field troops of the Imperial Royal Guards, who were pressing hard and pursuing them in full force.

An armored convoy left the battlefield at high speed, made a circle from the flanks, and its trajectory formed a clear left hook, outflanking the Upper Indragili County town about 8 kilometers behind the Dutch army.

There is a wide river not far from the east side of Upper Indragiri County. There are 4 historic stone bridges on the river. As long as the stone bridges are occupied, the Dutch army's retreat can be completely cut off and the enemy's heavy group of troops can be completely annihilated.

This armored convoy was tasked with occupying the stone bridge and preventing all broken troops from passing through.

The Gray Wolf armored vehicle showed excellent off-road performance, speeding across rice fields and ditches, occupying several stone bridges in just over half an hour, and repelling the Dutch soldiers guarding the stone bridges.

At this point, victory is firmly in hand.

"Brother 71, the armored division you created is so impressive!

In particular, the armor's assault power is very strong. This may subvert the old-fashioned views of the Royal Army, and they have to admit that a new era is coming.

Yes, really good. This battle reduced our army’s expected casualties in the attack by more than 80%!

Brother 71, the combat effectiveness of the armored divisions is unexpectedly strong, which makes me change my original view of not attaching importance to armored forces.

After this battle, I will personally write to His Majesty to ask for merit for my younger brother."

His Royal Highness Prince Tang-Li Xin of Pingxi, wearing the uniform of a marshal, has a strong aura. He scans the battlefield with sharp eyes and an uncontrollable smile on his face.

The battlefield is advancing so smoothly, the overall situation has been decided!

Although the Dutch army claims to have an army of 100,000, all the field elites it can mobilize are here. Even the indigenous cannon fodder are elite troops, and now they will be wiped out in one battle.

Under the current sea blockade, even if the Dutch can use magic, they will no longer be able to conjure up a heavy military group that can compete with the imperial army.

The remaining garrison troops from various places, with thousands and hundreds of people, could barely make a splash under the imperial army's plowing and hole-sweeping offensive.

His Royal Highness King Pingxi won a major victory in this battle. He really planned the strategy for thousands of miles. His face glowed with a strange brilliance, and he was not stingy in his praise for his seventy-one brothers.

In front of the imperial brother, Tang Li Yi rarely bent his tall body and bowed to answer;

"Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear brother. I am very frightened, my foolish brother.

The artillery unit performed outstandingly in this battle, and all the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy. My armored division was just the icing on the cake.

Being able to see the armored division that had been prepared for many years finally take shape and play an important role on the battlefield, Yu Di was very excited and overjoyed.

all the time

The foolish brother always follows the example of his father and his royal brothers, and is committed to opening up territory for the empire, promoting the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, intimidating the barbarians, and spreading our splendid Chinese civilization.

If the establishment of armored forces can be fully promoted in the Royal Army, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness and attack power of the Imperial Army. This is Yudi's long-cherished wish.

If I can get the special recommendation from the Imperial Brother and go directly to Shengting, it will be my great fortune and the Armored Forces' great fortune as well."

"Don't worry, brother 71. With my father's wisdom, promoting armored forces throughout the army will definitely be the future trend, and the military will also work hard to strive for it."

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."

Speaking of which

Prince Pingxi and all the generals had sincere smiles on their faces. Who wouldn't be happy after a great victory?

As a powerful figure in the imperial military, Prince Pingxi ranks first among the princes and nobles in the royal family with great achievements, and his influence is extremely huge.

Marshal Tang-Li Xin, Prince of Pingxi, joined the army at the end of the Second North American War in 1862. He was only nine years old at the time, so that all the royal brothers could withstand the training of the bloody war.

A blink of an eye, 36 years have passed. The young boy in the army has now grown into an imperial marshal commanding 110,000 land and sea troops. He is powerful all over the world with his illustrious military exploits.

A large group of generals surrounded him, like stars over the moon, observing the battlefield trends from a distance and making timely adjustments.

It's almost noon

A large number of Dutch soldiers were defeated and captured. The sound of gunfire and gunfire came in waves, but there were still many fish that slipped through the net and escaped.

The imperial army has detached more than 10 pursuit and annihilation forces, together with the company and platoon-level armored detachments of the armored division, to carry out encirclement, suppression and annihilation of the enemy in order to achieve total annihilation.

In some villages and towns, in the woods, ridges and rivers, battles of various sizes are still going on. A small number of white troops are fighting and retreating, resisting stubbornly. What awaits them is the fate of complete destruction. (End of this chapter)
