1717 New American Empire

Late at night three days later, the heavy artillery unit finally arrived. However, the journey was too strenuous. It also rained, making the road full of mud and the artillery. Therefore, it had to be cleaned up all night.

It took a whole day to remove water before they could be used. Apache and others still wanted to wait for these heavy artillery to be ready, but Xiao Lin was speechless.

Originally, Li Ming was transferred to them to strengthen their strength and prepare them to dare to fight a big battle. However, I didn't expect that it had the opposite effect to a certain extent. Li Ming and the others found a lot of problems.

, but made Apache and others feel a little guilty. It seemed that these brigade commanders really thought that their troops were too bad. After scolding the three Apache brigade commanders on the wired phone, he personally made the decision.

The next morning, the attack officially began.

A brigade of 3,000 people, plus artillery, logistics, cooking squads, etc., there were more than 6,500 people from the company in each direction, each threatening a town. Because Adolf was not sure where to attack first, he divided his troops and

He was afraid that he would not be able to defeat them in the end, so he followed him and stationed 10,000 of his most elite new troops in an area in the wild between the three towns that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The three armies were dispatched at the same time, and the attack officially started at nine o'clock in the morning. They all discovered the existence of the other side, and the town has always maintained sufficient vigilance. Night attacks have no effect at all, so there is no need to engage in these. Although the 122mm, 152mm heavy artillery and 82mm forced

The artillery cannot participate in the battle, but the Heavy Punch II artillery and the Raider I 60mm mortar still maintain strong combat effectiveness.

There is a standard for the company's attack. First, the scouts are dispatched to confirm the enemy's coordinates, and then the artillery fire is prepared. There are five rounds of shooting, and then the infantry begins the attack. These five rounds of artillery fire generally do not have much effect.

, especially in the face of the British who had fought several battles with the company. As soon as there were signs of troops gathering here, the instructors of the New Army in the town began to arrange for the soldiers to enter the anti-artillery facilities.

Because this is the forefront of the border with the company, a stone defensive wall has been built long ago. The standard is still based on the twelve-pounder cannon that can defend them. This waste of money and people almost caused a riot. The battle was about to begin, and the town was requisitioned.

The civilians inside helped with the defense. The people in the three towns dared not speak out, hoping that the company's people would come in and liberate them. However, the effect was indeed good. The shelling had just started over there, and the shelling had just begun here.

Ready.

The heavy punch II type bombarded the city wall. Although it could cause gravel to scatter in all directions, it did not have much effect. After all, it was a front-mounted artillery, and the number was less than a hundred, so it was really hard to count on it. The soldiers of the field division started slowly.

Slowly approaching, they were carrying machine guns, but they were not set up just to guard against enemy artillery fire. Instead, a Raider-type mortar was set up eight hundred meters away from the bureau's city wall.

It takes three seconds to set up, three seconds to adjust the shooting angle, and two seconds to complete the shooting. In eight seconds, the front-loaded artillery has just been stuffed with gunpowder, and they have already left with the gun. Basically, all the soldiers in the field division have changed their equipment.

Most of the weapons used are Yanhuang 1-type J-precision rifles, which are improved versions of the Yanhuang 1-type rifles. The performance is not only the pinnacle of mid-level rifles in the history of Dali, but the effective range even reaches 250 meters, and the hit rate is also 100%.

Over fifty.

Just two hundred meters outside the city wall, the soldiers of the field division stopped. Calculated, this distance is just enough to defeat the enemies on the city wall. As for the British troops on the city wall, even with the bonus of the eight-meter-high city wall

, still unable to accurately hit the field division soldiers outside. This distance has been cleared by the British, and there is no cover at all. But can this be difficult for them? All they need is to make an Iroquois-style bulletproof shield.

.

This kind of bullet-proof shield made of logs and fur quilts has a certain defensive effect against Yanhuang-type J-type 7 and 62mm caliber bullets, not to mention the British bullets that separate gunpowder and bullets.

Soldiers from a field brigade rolled out nearly a hundred bulletproof shields, with only five soldiers behind them. If there were more people, they would attract the attention of the enemy's artillery.

When there are fewer people, the artillery will not dare to fire. Once it fires, its position will be exposed. The company's heavy artillery and two-thirds of the Raider-1 mortars are waiting to kill them. In this kind of confrontation two hundred meters away

, even the new army couldn't gain any advantage. It was clearly aimed at the head, and when it was hit, the bullets flew to nowhere. This is nothing, the key is that there is no pattern, it is completely affected by the wind speed and humidity.

Flying everywhere.

Therefore, the commanders of the new army learned wisely and no matter what they were aiming at, it was useless to aim at this distance. It was better to load bullets and gunpowder directly under the protection of the city wall, shoot within three seconds after stretching out, and then immediately

Go back and reload the bullets. In this way, you can not only maintain the fire suppression of the enemy under the city wall, but also ensure that your own manpower will not lose too much.

At this time, the Apaches really had no choice. The enemy had suffered too many losses from the artillery, and the position of the artillery would not be exposed unless it was absolutely necessary. However, if the enemy's artillery was ignored, the casualties of the forced attack might be high.

This is unacceptable to the company. Especially the soldiers of the field division. Each one of them is an elite soldier trained by the company with a lot of effort. The company has few people, forcing Xiao Lin to adopt the elite soldier policy, so if the loss is a little bigger, they will all

It hurts so much.

After fighting for an hour, the biggest result was that the Apache field brigade killed more than a hundred enemies, most of which were dressed as militiamen. Seeing that Xiao Lin could not achieve much results, he asked the soldiers to retreat.

.This made Adolf very angry. Adolf had been thinking of relying on the 10,000 new troops in his hand to unite thousands of troops in the town to destroy a group of enemies and divide the company.

However, he would only dare to attack if the company's soldiers left the trench defense system. If they were still in the trenches and set up machine guns and mortars, they would really be unable to break through. Even if they won, it would be a tragic victory.

They won't have anything to do in the next battle. Don't think about large-scale reinforcements. The training of 20,000 new soldiers has already made Charlie very difficult. Where can he find the money to supplement the previous army establishment.

He hurried and hurried slowly. As soon as he arrived here with his troops, they had already withdrawn. He could pursue them, but if he left at most a few hundred people, the troops would still return to the trenches. When they turned around, these

I'm afraid a lot of the new army will have to be left behind. Therefore, Adolf could only watch as the original target safely returned to the trenches.

Adolf no longer tried to be secretive. He couldn't hide his ten thousand people no matter what, so he led them back slowly. He had to return to his previous position as soon as possible, otherwise the company would mobilize heavy troops to besiege the other two towns.

, then it exploded. As Xiao Lin's order was conveyed, the Night Owl warriors here had already begun to move. They took a long way around, used various instruments in their hands, passed through the undefended and dangerous terrain, and began to investigate Adolf

This is a sign for thousands of people.

At the same time, Xiao Lin began to urge the artillery to clean up the heavy artillery, which must be completed before dark. The attack must be launched at night, and things will change later. He did not know how many reinforcements the British had behind them. If they were blocked here, what would happen if they were blocked here?

The previous plan was in vain. Since the enemy did not want to expose their artillery, they used heavy howitzers to blast out these artillery pieces.

Time passed by, and both sides maintained a state of confrontation. Next, it was the lunch and dinner time that the British army hated most. Originally, by absorbing some of the company's cooking techniques, the British were slightly away from the path of dark cuisine. However,

, compared with the company, it is still far behind.

In previous wars, it was okay when there was no rest at noon and night. Once you rest at noon and night, it would be fun. Even the big pot rice in the army has a fragrance that far exceeds the food made by the British themselves. It is backed by common spices.

In the 21st century, when prices are low, the happiest thing about becoming a soldier of Yanhuang Trading Company is that you can add spices and condiments that normally would not be contaminated in your lifetime.

Some company army soldiers with a bad taste like to add more seasonings with strong fragrance. The taste really spreads three miles in the wind. These people also like to eat with great fanfare a mile away from the enemy, just to make them feel better.

The British sentry with telescopes saw this. Every time, the British were so angry that they were itching their teeth, but there was nothing they could do. This time, it was no exception. Comparing the "luxury meal" opposite, they saw

The dry bread and some pickles in their hands made everyone feel very resentful.

The New Army officers in charge of the towns can only eat ordinary food with the ordinary soldiers. If there is any gap between the rich and the poor, it will probably arouse the resentment of all the soldiers. Riots may not happen, but morale will drop.

It was inevitable. We were originally dealing with an elite and powerful enemy, but our morale had dropped, so we had no choice but to wait for death. Time passed slowly, and gradually, it was getting dark. The artillery soldiers didn't even bother to eat.

, has been dealing with heavy artillery stained with mud.

They had just acquired these large-caliber cannons, and they cherished each and every one of them very much. As long as they were serious artillerymen, they did not like large-caliber heavy cannons, especially when they exploded and there were no survivors within thirty meters.

artillery, especially their

The coveted artifact. This time it was accidentally stained with mud, but it made them feel distressed. If these artifact-level heavy cannons were damaged, they would really commit suicide by caesarean section. Therefore, they did not care until the cannons were taken care of.

rest.
